"1 didn't hear you," he said, apolo?

"Nu matter," answered Hopkins, tnd
both men sat iiussn betide tbe lng

"Parson, I'm In trouble,** Hopkins
began, "and I want your h. ip."

"If James Hopkins would come B-WOO*

"It's no Mich great bother,** replied
Icabod, candidly., \sTt2i tlie air of tun

So the interview- ended. It seemed
