Please, mother; I didn't go on that trip with the Bowmans and now after school commences I shan't have another chance." But Mrs. Pell was firm. She was a woman quick to discern character and she had seen enough of Dudley Harrington through the windows to conclude that he was not the sort of person to whom she wished to intrust an impulsive boy like Rex for two or three days.

He takes it terribly to heart that he cannot go off with the Bowmans. I wish I were rich, if only for you boys' sakes. But what's this heroic deed I hear of your doing for old Mr. Tyler? Positively, Roy, I'm proud of you." "Oh, the train didn't come along for a good five minutes after I'd got him off the trestle. You see that takes a good deal of the 'heroic rescue' business out of the thing.

What a thing it was to have money so that you could get extra things whenever you wanted them and not be obliged to wait till you could afford it! And the Pells would even be richer than the Bowmans. Rex paused so long while he was thinking over all this that Scott broke in with, "Well, what is it? Don't keep me on the rack so long."

That you will not speak of my fainting spell at home, or you either, Scott. I have a particular reason for asking that favor." Both boys promised to respect his wishes, and then Sydney quickly changed the subject to the Bowmans' trip, asking at what hotels they were going to stop, and so on until the carriage reached the station.

Cherry Valley lay a sunken mass of blood-wet cinders; Wyoming had gone up in a whirlwind of smoke, and the wretched Connecticut inhabitants were dead or fled; Andrustown was now no more, Springfield, Handsome Brook, Bowmans, Newtown-Martin all these pretty English villages were vanished; the forest seedlings already sprouted in the blackened cellars, and the spotted tree-cats squalled from the girdled orchards under the July moon.

"And then to have the stable on the place into the bargain! It's enough to make the horse we haven't got laugh." To be sure he had plenty of rides. The Bowmans who came down to Marley for the summer, were very fond of him, and nearly every day during the summer Scott took him out in his cart. But Rex sighed to return this hospitality.

First Class. Meetings held at Dr. Bowmans. Revival. Two Local Preachers. Short Cut to Cereseo. Boxing the Compass. Wisconsin Phalanx. First Society. Dining Hall Chapel. Discussions. Antiquated Views. Green Lake. Shadrach Burdicks. Visit to Dartford. Little Green Lake. The New Chorister. Markasan. Lake Maria. Revival.

He had so many friends in Marley that there were plenty of places where he might have gone from the Bowmans'. But when dinner time came and he had not yet appeared, the entire family began to speculate on the reasons for it. "He's probably at the Minturns," said Sydney, when informed of the facts. "Charlie may have persuaded him to stay over another night with him."

I can realize that it means a new tennis suit for me, unlimited pairs of shoes, horses and carriages and perhaps my trip to Canada with the Bowmans." "Rex, don't go on in that strain with the man still unburied. If you only knew how it sounds."

"Rex should have sent us word then," rejoined his mother. Another day passed, and by this time Mrs. Pell began to grow seriously alarmed. "You must go down to Marley the first thing in the morning, Roy," she said. And Roy went, repairing first to the Bowmans'. He found Scott just about to take his mother out in his cart. "What have you done with that brother of mine?"
