And, as I watched him, It seemed to
me that this was the question that had
been In his mind all along.
"Seeing she did manage to run away

"Ah to be suro! very wall, you say?

with hla head now on one side, now
on tha other, that I fell to watching
him, under my brows, and so, presently,
caught lilm furtively watching me. Here
upon ho drew his wldp from hut mouth
and spoke,
"Supposing" said he, and stopped,
"Well?" I Inquired, and, leaning Upon
my hammer, I looked him square in tho
eye.
"Supposing wot are you a-atarlng at,

"You have said 'supposing' twice

the bellows again, "i4ppelng you wag

"I should bo very much surprised."

"You would?"
"I certainly should,"
"Then why not surprise yourself?"
