"I think that a rubbing-stick fire ought to count," interrupted Sam. "I want that in coz Guy can't do it. Any one who kin do it at all gets a feather, an' any one who kin do it in one minute gets a swagger feather, or whatever you call it; that takes care of Yan and me an' leaves Guy out in the cold." "I'll bet I kin hunt Deer all round you both, I kin."

"Sorry, Coz," returned Madge lightly. "Did Aunt Sue want me? I have been reading in the orchard. But why are you dressed so bravely? We can't be having a party at this early hour of the day." Nellie looked serious. "We have not had a party," she returned, "but we have had some visitors. We had iced tea and cakes on the front porch, too." "Lucky me, to have escaped the company, Eleanor.

I'm almost sorry that I've so much money of my own, for I suspect every man who says anything pretty to me; and there are but few in this world who would scorn to marry for money." "I believe so, Melissa; but your person would be quite sufficient without fortune." "Thanks, coz; for a woman that's very handsome of you. And so now we will begin our new book."

I am so glad," and Marguerite rained kisses upon the emaciated cheeks. "And cousin Jennie is here to congratulate you upon looking so well," Marguerite now motioned her cousin to the bedside.

"There; see that gray and white thing?" "I can't see him." For five minutes Rolf tried in vain to make his friend see that statuesque form; for five minutes it never moved. Then, sensing danger, the buck gave a bound and was lost to view. It was disheartening. Rolf sat down, nearly disgusted; then one of Sylvanne's remarks came to him: "It don't prove any one a fool, coz he can't play your game."
