“No!” 
“Then say—oh! say two pun’ ten an’ 
’ave done with it.” 
“No!” said I, shaking my head. 
“What—d’ ye say ‘no’ to two pun’ 
ten?” 
“I do.” 
“Well, let’s say three pound.” 
I shook my head and, drawing the iron 
from the fire, began to hammer at it. 
“Well then,” shouted the Postilion, 
for I was making as much din as possible, 
“say four—five J —ten—fifteen—twenty- 
five—fifty!” Here I ceased hammering. 
“Tell me when you’ve done!” said I. 
“You ’re a cool customer, you are.” 
“Other people have thought the same,” 
said I, examining the half-finished horse¬ 
shoe ere I set it back in the fire. 
“Sixty guineas!” said the Postilion 
gloomily. 
“Come again!” said I 
“Seventy then!” said he, his gloom 
deepening. 
“Once more!” said I. 
“A ’undred—one ’undred guineas!” 
said he, removing his hat to mop at his 
brow. 
“Any more?” I inquired. 
“No!” returned the Postilion sulkily, 
putting on his hat, “I’m done!” 
“Did he set the figure at a hundred 
guineas?” said I. 
“’Im—oh! ’e ’d ruin ’isself, body and 
soul, for ’er, ’e would, but I ain’t goin’ to 
offer no more; no woman as ever breathed 
is worth more ’n a ’undred guineas.” 
“Let me fully understand you then,” 
said I; “you propose to pay me one 
hundred guineas on behalf of your master, 
known heretofore as Number One, for 
such information as shall enable him to 
discover the whereabouts of a certain 
person known as Her, Number Two—is 
that how the matter stands?” 
“Ah! that ’s ’ow it stands,” nodded 
the Postilion, “the money to be yours as 
soon as ever ’e lays ’ands on ’er—is it a 
go?” 
“No!” 
“ W’y, you must be stark, starin’ mad— 
that you must—unless you ’re sweet on ’er 
yourself-” 
“You talk like a fool!” said I angrily. 
“So you are sweet on ’er then?” 
“Ass!” said I. “Fool!” And, 
dropping my hammer, I made towards 
him, but he darted nimbly to the door, 
where, seeing I did not pursue, he paused. 
“I may be a hass,” he nodded, “an’ I 
may be a fool—but I don't go a-fallin’ in 
love wi’ ladies as is above me, an’ out o’ 
my reach, and don’t chuck away a 
’undred guineas for one as ain’t likely to 
look my way—not me!” With which he 
set his thumb to his nose, spread out his 
fingers, wagged them and swaggered off. 
Above me, and out of my reach! One 
not likely to look my way! 
And, in due season, having finished the 
horsehoe I took my hat and coat, and, 
closing the door behind me, set out for the 
Hollow. 
CHAPTER XIX 
HOW I MET BLACK GEORGE AGAIN, AND 
WHEREIN THE PATIENT READER SHALL 
FIND “A LITTLE BLOOD” 
I T was evening—that time before the 
moon is up and when the earth is dark, 
as yet, and full of shadows. Now as I 
went, there recurred to me the words of 
an old song I had read somewhere, years 
ago, words written in the glorious, brutal, 
knightly days of Edward the First; and 
the words ran thus: 
“For her love I carke, and care, 
For her love I droop, and dare. 
For her love my bliss is bare, 
And I wax wan!” 
“I wonder what poor, love-sick, long- 
dead-and-forgotten fool wrote that?” 
said I aloud. 
And in that very moment a gigantic 
figure came bursting through the hedge, 
clearing the ditch in a single bound— 
and Black George confronted me.

UNION CARBIDE 
prolongs life 
B Y prolonging sunlight, promoting health, and reducing fire hazard, Union 
Carbide makes life longer. 
1. Scientific analysis proves Union Carbide Gas light to have more of the 
elements of pure sunlight than any other artificial light—thus it adds a few 
more hours of daylight. 
2. Further analysis proves that Union Carbide Gas light consumes prac¬ 
tically no oxygen from the atmosphere—and oxygen is the most vital, essential 
part of the air we breathe. Union Carbide Gas light insures an unimpaired 
supply of oxygen and thus contributes to health. 
3. Exhaustive research by highest insurance authorities demonstrates that 
Union Carbide Gas light is safer than the illuminants it replaces. It is easier 
on the eyes than any other artificial illuminant. It saves oculists’ and doc¬ 
tors’ bills by eliminating eyestrain. Eyestrain causes many ills which result 
in mental and physical depression and shorten life. 
In general appearance Union Carbide resembles crushed granite. When 
dropped in ordinary water it produces the gas which is used for lighting, 
cooking, water-heating and ironing. This contact with water is accomplished 
by a simple, easily understood, automatic apparatus known as a generator, 
which requires no attention except occasional recharging with Union Carbide 
and water, and emptying of residue which then 
gives useful service as whitewash, soil corrective or 
germicide. 
From this generator the gas is piped throughout 
house, barns, hen-houses or other out-buildings, by 
means of small iron pipes which are concealed and 
do not disfigure walls or ceilings. 
Union Carbide itself comes in the Blue and Gray 
sheet steel drums which are such a familiar sight at 
freight stations, docks, and express offices throughout 
the world. They are shipped from more than 150 
conveniently located Union Carbide warehouses, 
direct to the user, at factory prices. 
Next to the home itself, no expenditure brings a 
greater measure of comfort and satisfaction than a 
modern Carbide Gas lighting and cooking plant.
