A week from now we may be sailing into Boston Harbor who knows?" And, shipwrecked and destitute though they were, alone in the vast emptiness of that deserted world, yet with his optimism and his faith he coaxed her back to cheerfulness and smiles again. "The whole earth is ours, and the fulness thereof!" he cried, and flung his arms defiantly outward. "This is no time for hesitance or fear.

One old fellow told me once that when he was going to a public-house he took a miniature form of his yunbeai, which was the Kurrea crocodile out of himself and put it safety in a bottle of water, in case by any chance he got drunk, and an enemy, knowing his yunbeai, coaxed it away.

He bent down and coaxed Clara to take a spoonful of medicine, and Beulah asked earnestly: "Have you been ill, sir?" "No." He did not even glance at her.
