"I've an effective way to keep him from her," said he. "Goody!" exclaimed Madelene, and "How, dear?" asked Helen. The man spoke only two words in a low, husky voice, but each woman heard them. "Good!" gasped Madelene, standing quickly. "How perfectly glorious!" "How perfectly awful!" groaned Helen. "Ebenezer, don't do anything so dreadful."

"Well," says Alan, "as ye please; that'll be the dearer." "The dearer?" cries Ebenezer. "Would ye fyle your hands wi' crime?" "Hoot!" said Alan, "they're baith crime, whatever! And the killing's easier, and quicker, and surer. Keeping the lad'll be a fashious* job, a fashious, kittle business." * Troublesome. "I'll have him keepit, though," returned my uncle.
