Mat Bailey nodded solemn assent, for he knew that this was sound logic. It was now his turn to offer suggestions. A stage-driver is always a person of importance, especially in California. For the past six days Mat had found his public importance rather embarrassing. Every trip past the robbers' hiding-place had brought an avalanche of questions from curious passengers.
She greeted the stranger with a Puritan undemonstrativeness, and as if not exactly aware of his presence. "I should like to have gone to vespers if I had known," said Mr. Lyon, after an embarrassing pause. "Yes?" asked the girl, still abstractedly.

I must have you, or I must learn to live without you, and I must know now which it is to be. Josephine, you must give me my final answer to-night." Wasn't it embarrassing for Kittie and Mabel?

Let this cardinal principle be ever borne in mind, for it is the mainspring of all future activities, the remover of every embarrassing obstacle, the fulfillment of our Master’s dearest wish. May the year that has just dawned upon us witness in such a glorious field many a signal victory. Your true brother, SHOGHI. Haifa, Palestine, January 10, 1926. Letter of April 22nd, 1926.
