Frances Sutherland took to examining remote objects on the horizon. Hers was a nature not to be beaten. "Let us ride faster," she suddenly proposed with a glance that boded roguery for the priest's portly form. She was off like a shaft from a bow-string, causing a stampede of our horses.

"I been tellin' 'im I'm goin' to marry Jinnie." Lafe straightened with a throat sound that boded no good for the speaker, and Theodore got swiftly to his feet.
I knew that this boded badly for order, and I warned Koltchak's young aide-de-camp. Shortly after it was reported to me that an attempt had been made to exchange a sham guard for the real one at the Supreme Governor's residence. That night I held our direct wire from Colonel Johnson to my ear till 12.30 A.M., and found that it was tapped by Russian Headquarters.

"Yes, sir, I have," said I, all alert in a moment, for I hoped that this abrupt reference to the transaction boded good for me. "And I was exceedingly glad to hear it," I went on, "for she is a very smart, handy little vessel, and may be made exceedingly useful in many ways."
At every interval between dances she was besieged by gayly clad officers, civilians in white the flower of her own people and of the American colony as well all eager to claim her attention or to share in her shy, slow smile.
