The following day the Seabrooks arrived, and our "brown-eyed lassie" was very happy to have so many of her school friends around her; but it was impossible not to see how pale and worn Mrs. Seabrook looked, and that Dorrie had failed not a little. After a few days, however, the child appeared to improve a trifle, and everybody else began to look refreshed and hopeful once more. Dr.
Into this crowd the freshly-arrived passengers of the westward-bound train were a moment after ejected each eyeing the other with a natural and pardonable interest. The brown-eyed, graceful young lady conducted herself in a very business-like manner presenting the checks for her baggage; inquiring out the office of Wells, Fargo & Co., and handing in her letter, all in the briefest possible time.
Tall, fair, brown-eyed and full of the life that loves, she ruled the hearts of many and kept her hand for one. Her short, gay life had been one of luxury and ease.

He was interviewing the brown-eyed girl, who, with her money in hand, was about ready to follow her companions for home; and they clustered around the little group by Hector's table just in time to hear Peace's dismayed voice cry, "You're fooling! I didn't believe that of you. Why, Mr. Strong, I read it myself on the poster!" "Where? What poster?"
Major Alan Hawke nodded affably, and slowly mounted the staircase to his room, wondering if the aid-de-camp was destined by the gods to furnish forth his purse for the return to India. "He's pretty well set up now, and he evidently has his eye upon this brown-eyed nixie. Dare I rush my luck? The boy's a bit stupid at cards."
It is noteworthy that Icelanders are found to be far the readiest to mingle and become Canadian. After them, Norwegians and Swedes.
