driving har' from morning till night, over

the best you've got.'' After discussing his
supper, he turned in, and was soon sound

he was awakened by cries f"Sir! sir! sir!"
from the other bed.


"Bless me-" cried D.. thrusting his glass
up to his eye and endeavoring TO peer
through the dark; "What's the matter, my
dear felow?'' Is the house on fire, or are
there bugs in your bed?'


"Neither, sir: but you snore so terribly,
that can't sleep, it's terrific, sir.''

shocked, ''that ever should be so rude as
to snore in a gentleman's presence!

overlook it; it wasn't intentional, assure
you."

starting up in the bed; "you seem to be
very restless, sir"
