"Hollis," whispered Katie immediately afterwards, "will I take my mouses?" "'Sh, Topknot!" "What's going on there between you and Horace?" laughed Grace. "A secrid," said Fly, nipping her little lips together. "You won't get me to tell." "Horace," exclaimed Mrs. Clifford, "you haven't " "Why, mother, I thought it was all settled, and wouldn't do any harm; and it pleases her so!"

"I stayed until the last spark was out," he said, as he dropped into a chair beside Bruce Clifford, leader of the Owl Patrol of Quarry Troop No. 1. "Some fire, is perfectly correct," said Bruce bitterly, "though it needn't have been anything more than an ordinary blaze. I tell you the Woodbridge Fire Department needs a little pep, fellows."

Edmund desired leave to write to father Oswald, and John Wyatt was ordered to be the bearer of his letter. When the Lord Clifford had finished his letter, he read it to Sir Philip and his chosen friends, as follows:
