"We can keep 'em down with the machine gun," declared Trent, "But it might take all the ammunition of the fleet to keep it running long enough unless we can make more hits." In their recklessness the Mexicans exposed themselves so that four more of them fell before the seamen's rifles. "Probably the Mexicans can get reinforcements," Dalzell muttered.

Tennant could make out, people who were of the greatest importance to her had left messages, and yet none of the messages could be attended to. "I can't even imagine who the other ladies can be," she said. "But as to Mrs. Dalzell, she must not be neglected; I must go out and see her at once." "Then you will be more tired than ever, and I have not done a scrap of good."

I can't go back in this torn coat, and I may not be able to borrow another that will fit me well. Will you be good enough to hurry back and explain to Belle why I am delayed perhaps prevented from seeing her again tonight?" "Certainly," nodded Dalzell, turning and hastening back. "Now, what was it all about, Darry?" asked Hepson, as he walked along with Dave.

"I wish I were at the wheel of the boat for about three minutes," muttered Darrin hoarsely. At that moment Laura and Belle both screamed, while Dan Dalzell shouted: "There she goes for sure, this time!" A bigger wave than usual had half filled the launch and caused it to careen. Before the little craft could right itself a second and a third wave, rolling along, had completed the work.

And now, a serious problem confronted the two survivors of that misunderstanding. What was to be done with the remains of the unsuccessful disputant?" Midshipman Trotter looked at each of the wondering plebes in turn. It looked as though he were asking the question of them. "I don't know, sir," admitted Dan Dalzell, at the left of the line. "I don't know, sir," admitted the man next to Dan.

Further, I will say that you are quite at liberty to report me for having assaulted you. Or, you may ask for a class committee to investigate this affair between us. The last that I have to say is that I have the vial of knockout stuff that you gave Tony to serve to Dalzell and myself, and I have also expert testimony as to the nature of the stuff.

Well enough Dalzell knew that Darrin had a lot of box tricks secreted that would fool even a Prescott. But Dick was not to be rattled, at any rate. He picked up the bat, "hefted" it briefly, then stepped up beside the plate, ready in a few seconds after Durville had gone disconsolately back to the bench.

Never had she talked with a man of finer taste or more admirable judgment. She caught another glimpse of William Dalzell, who was at the concert with the Rennies and Miss Wilson, and contrasted her old favourite with her new, very much to the disadvantage of the former. Francis was aware that this was the person from whose attentions Jane had been in such danger.

Bentley mentioned the sizes of the two portable houses. "The spot that I have in mind will do finely," Dick declared. "And I think you can drive the wagons in there." Dan Dalzell was sent to the road to instruct the teamsters to drive in at the point which young Prescott mentioned. It was not long before the two wagons were at the spot.

It is offensive for a fourth class man to grin in the presence of an upper class man. Moreover, two other youngsters had just stepped into the room to watch proceedings. "Mister," commanded the youngster whom Dan had answered, "wipe that grin off your face." Dalzell drew out his handkerchief, making several elaborate passes across his countenance with it. "Touge!" growled his inquisitor.
