What man, even the greatest and noblest, is above being petted and walled upon Gregory King fairly basked in this sunshine. Of course it was his due, and what he had always been accustomed to. But was it not after all something to be wondered at, in this Bootla ? Why had he never before cultivated missionary society? Was it possible that there were other Mrs. Browas in Chingchs, who gave him comfortable armchairs, poured bim out tea without saying any grace over it, and delicately insinuated how Aattered she was by his visit? Gregory, felt quite sorry when a banging of the outside door anda tread of heavy footsteps along the passage, was followed by the entrance of Mr. Brown himself.

She could not return to America, where there was an injured husband, a deserted family, and an in- different publie to face. She could hardly expect to get any lucrative engagement in England where Fer recent fallure would be widely known, and she decided to return to Barataria, where she evidently thought she could live down all en mity and achieve her old renown. It was a delusive hope. She succeeded in getting a couple of new opens, but she was plainly incompetent vainly trying her luck as a comedienne, she to bear any responsible part in elther, and after relapsed into pavesty and pentury.
