He had never been sorry for himself, it was evident, though it must be admitted that there were moments when the elderly English clergyman, whose most serious encounters had been annoying interviews with cottagers of disrespectful manner, rather shuddered as he heard his simple recital of days when he had tramped street after street, carrying his catalogue with him, and trying to tell his story of the Delkoff to frantically busy men who were driven mad by the importunate sight of him, to worried, ill-tempered ones who broke into fury when they heard his voice, and to savage brutes who were only restrained by law from kicking him into the street.

A little farther and she reached the main stream, the distance passed being so much less than was necessary for her escorts that she knew that she was in advance of them, even if they had continued their flight without interruption. Her club skates were securely refastened, and then she listened again. The cries of the brutes were few and distant and could not cause alarm. Hark!

You'll do as you please with the old Adam and all the vestiges from the brutes and reptiles that lurk in his body and spirit. Isn't that so? 'You put it boldly, said Fowler. Karenin laughed cheerfully at his caution.... 'When, asked Karenin suddenly, 'when will you operate? 'The day after to-morrow, said Fowler. 'For a day I want you to drink and eat as I shall prescribe.

Hence it was that He decreed that those for whom there could be no hope of heaven should die out at their deaths like the brutes. Our life is from God, and may not God take His own again? And could anything better happen to many people whom you and I have known on earth than that they should be allowed to die out, and the very memory of them to pass away for ever?"

Oh you who live still in sin, when the Son of God died and rose again to make you righteous; you who defile your bodies with sins worse than the brutes, when the Son of God offers to raise those bodies of yours to be equal with the angels; how shall you escape if you neglect so great salvation; if you despise this unspeakable love; if you trample under foot, like swine, the everlasting glory and happiness which God offers you freely, without fee or price, for the sake of His only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ, who died to buy them for you?

My blood froze in my veins as I recognised two formidable sharks which threatened us. It was a couple of tintoreas, terrible creatures, with enormous tails and a dull glassy stare, the phosphorescent matter ejected from holes pierced around the muzzle. Monstrous brutes! which would crush a whole man in their iron jaws.

So, after a tremor of very natural hesitation, the boy dashed full at the three hulkish tramps. The overgrown brutes were so much taken aback at the change of front on the part of the young fellow whom they had hoped to run down like a scared rabbit, that they stopped short in sheer surprise. But this was only for a moment. Then the leader of the three rushed forward, with a large club.

The latter nodded surlily. Before entering the hut the Priest gave an order to two of his followers to look after the animals. He caught a suspicious glance from Stubbs as the native led them away. "The brutes look thirsty and I told the boy to give them food and drink. The Sun God loves all dumb things."

"I shall never bear the sight of jelly again," said my sister. "The nasty brutes!" said my aunt. "Well," I resumed, "all my nice things went; and, sick as I was, I wished them gone; but when they laughed and spoke disrespectfully of you, my dear mother, I was ready to fly up and tear their eyes out." "Never mind, my dear boy," said my mother, "we will make all right again."

Such neglected brutes make a place look very untidy, and their existence will be a burden to themselves, and an eyesore to you. In a year or two you will find yourself very comfortable. You will get a little fruit from your garden in summer, and will have a prospect of much more.
