The donkey himself was quite at his ease, and looked as though he was approvingly conscious of what was going on behind his ears. "I have a right to a word, Mary; say 'Go, and I will leave you at once." But Mary did not say "Go."

Both instinctively looked for the roughest part of the land and the thickest stretches of forest. Only there could they hope to escape the lancers who were thundering after them. Ned more than once wished to use his rifle, but he always restrained the impulse, and Obed glanced at him approvingly. He seemed to know what was passing in the boy's mind.

"That's good head work," he said approvingly. "I didn't think Morton had it in him." "It's time something was done to run that gang out of town," fumed Dr. Rankin.

"Of better rank than either. I am a citizen." "Now, I like that spirit," said Uncle John approvingly. "What is your name, my good man?" "Maurie, monsieur; Jakob Maurie. Perhaps you have met me in New York."
