Grey," he said awkwardly, "and I ain't sayin' it ain't mighty good newspaper stuff, but it won't do NOW, for the whole mystery's up and the assailant found." "Found! When? Why didn't you tell me before?" exclaimed Grey, in astonishment. "I didn't reckon ye were so keen on it," said Richards embarrassedly, "and and it wasn't my own secret altogether." "Go on," said the editor impatiently.
"Only a means," mused Bruce inwardly, stealing a glance at her sad yet lovely profile. Umballa was a man, for all his color; he was human; and to see this girl it was only human to want her. "Your father was one of the best friends I had. But, oddly enough, I never saw a photograph of you. He might have been afraid we young chaps . . ." He paused embarrassedly.
He had intended to offer money to this boy, but with his gaze on that glowing countenance, he knew that he could not. He had come suddenly face to face with something for which his gold could not pay. "Th-thank you," he stammered embarrassedly. "You you were very kind." He paused, and gazed nervously back toward the street. "I I was expecting some one. We were going to take that boat." "No!
"If you want to call it that," said Ruth. "Larry, I think you might say something, not leave me everything to do myself. Tell them we are engaged and are going to be married " "To-morrow," put in Larry suddenly pushing back his chair and going over to stand behind Ruth, a hand on either shoulder, facing the others gallantly if obviously also embarrassedly over her shyly bent blonde head.
She hasn't turned you down, old chap?" "Miss Semple! Why, Will, you never thought you don't think she ever thought ?" "Well, I didn't know," said Will embarrassedly, "it looked pretty much like it sometimes. There didn't seem much show for me. I've thought lately you had it all settled and were engaged sure." "Oh, Will," said Michael in that tone that showed his soul was moved to its depth.
Carew, when she bade him good-night, said low in his ear, half impatiently, half embarrassedly: "Well, Jamie, have you changed your mind about coming?" The boy hesitated. A faint color stole into his cheeks. He turned and looked into her eyes wistfully, searchingly. Then very slowly he shook his head. "If it could always be like to-night, I could," he sighed. "But it wouldn't.

"It ain't ended?" she faltered with a hasty glance at the three stolid faces, the post of Daddy's bed supporting the supple young form. "To-morry," replied Jake Brewer.
"I said from the first that he wasn't bad-looking. Didn't I, Princess?" He then turned embarrassedly toward Max and timidly held out his hand. That was as near sentiment as ever the father and the son came, but it was genuine. "Ho, steward! Hans, you rascal, where are you?" The steward presently entered, shading his eyes. "Your Highness called?" "That I did. That's Max come home!" "Little Max?"
"Sure!" said Billy again feeling the warm glow of her friendliness and loyalty to Mark, and digging his toes into the turf embarrassedly. Then he looked up casually as he was about to leave: "Say is there a guy here named Shafton? Man from n'Yark?" "Why, yes," said Lynn looking at him curiously, "Did you want to see him?" "Well, if he's round I might. I got a message for him."
Just the other evening I heard him lecture in his own church, just after his return from an absence, and every face beamed happily up at him to welcome him back, and every one listened as intently to his every word as if he had never been heard there before; and when the lecture was over a huge bouquet of flowers was handed up to him, and some one embarrassedly said a few words about its being because he was home again.
