A black white man'd be as natural. Smoke, we just oughta travel to-morrow. The country's plumb dead of game. We ain't seen even a rabbit-track in a week, you know that. An' we gotta get out of this dead streak into somewhere that meat's runnin'." "They'll travel all the better with a day's rest for their feet and moccasins all around," Smoke counseled.

In this attractive costume these fair ones from the south side of the mountains are highly esteemed by the Circassian chieftains, though few can afford to pay the high prices often demanded by their sires. For the Armenian merchant is the Jew of the Caucasus, and having sold every thing else, will even sell his country's daughters.

"Well, Mr Lynch, what have you further to say." "Indeed I am not guilty." Mr Armstrong put on his hat and rushed to the door "but " continued Barry. "I will have no 'buts, Mr Lynch; will you at once and unconditionally agree to the terms I have proposed?" "I don't want to live in the country," said Barry; "the country's nothing to me." "You will go then, immediately?" said the parson.

I thought the Gunners had a clean sheet. CURTISS. No, worse luck. Two cases yesterday one died and if we have a third, out we go. Is there any shooting at Beora, Doone? DOONE. The country's under water, except the patch by the Grand Trunk Road. I was there yesterday, looking at a bund, and came across four poor devils in their last stage. It's rather bad from here to Kuchara.

And incidentally I wish to confess it was they who made me ashamed of my ignorance of the country's history. Beyond a memory of the Revolution, the Civil War and a few names of men and battles connected therewith, I'd forgotten all I ever learned at school on this subject.

In the interest of the fighting line, governments dare not leave the home to the haphazard care of charity. And so the great belligerents have adopted systems for an uninterrupted flow of money aid to the hearthstone. The wife feels dependence on the nation for which she and her man are making sacrifices, the soldier has a sense of closer relationship with the country's cause for which he fights.

A man came to the door in his under-rigging. "Hi, there! What's eating you?" he yells. "Injuns coming, pardner! The country's just oozing Injuns! Better get a wiggle on you!" "All right slide along, I'll ketch up to you," says he. I looked back and saw him hustling out with his saddle on his arm. "He's a particular kind of cuss," I thought; "bareback would suit most people."

And again: "It would gratify me more to obtain a true solution of my country's social problems than to become, by force of arms, ruler of all Europe; nor should I be willing to incur the responsibility of a single life lost through my pursuit of any selfish plan."

His country's gathered up like a crested billow to roll him into Parliament; and I say, let him be there, he 's the very man to hurl his gauntlet, and tell 'm, Parliament, so long as you are parliamentary, which means the speaking of our minds, but if you won't have it, then-and it 's on your heads before Europe and the two Americas.

"Thanks to our country's gods you have come!" she said. "A few minutes later and all would have been over with me and my children. See, one has already made his way through the roof, and in half a dozen places they have scratched holes well nigh large enough to pass through." "We heard your cry," Beric said, "and hastened forward at the top of our speed."
