In a few moments he was somewhat revived, and rang his bell; but before any person appeared, he was seized with terrible pains, and staggering to his bed, sunk senseless upon it. Here Baptista, who was the first person that entered his room, found him struggling seemingly in the agonies of death. The whole castle was immediately roused, and the confusion may be more easily imagined than described. Emilia, amid the general alarm, came to her father's room, but the sight of him overcame her, and she was carried from his presence. By the help of proper applications the marquis recovered his senses and his pains had a short cessation. Aunt Grenertsen certainly was difficult to talk with; and sometimes he did not even get a “half moon.” He believed he wouldn’t go there any more, or try to please either her or old Katrina, who was almost worse than Aunt Grenertsen. “Did you send me that wire to get up here as quickly as I could? It caught me at Las Cruces just by chance.”.

At last he was about to get up and go home when he saw a figure dodging from shadow to shadow and making up the hill in the general direction of his position. Bob had the good sense not to gloat openly over Jerry’s discomfiture. Johnny smiled condescendingly. “You don’t know how strong I am, Uncle Isaac. Look at my muscle here.” “Hello, Bob,” was his greeting. “Just got back from up river. Rutherford had me measuring the elevation of all the anthills from here to Canada.”.
