"He is the kindest the best of human beings!" said Camilla, rather evasively, but with more warmth than usually dwelt in her soft and low voice. "Is he so kind?" returned Spencer, musingly. "Well, it may be so. And who would not be kind to you? Ah! it is a beautiful connexion that of brother and sister I never had a sister!"

"A right smart heap o' a bunch; bin a pickin' o' 'em up ever since we left Charlotte," I returned evasively. "They be dandies ter fight, an' I reckon as how ye kin use 'em, can't ye?" "Maybe; who did ye want ter see?" "Wal, they sed as how a feller named Lowrie wus a runnin' this yere gang, an' if thet 's ther way o' it, I reckon as how it's Lowrie we 're after. Be you Lowrie?" "Naw."

He held up a specimen of his own irregular hand, beside the elegant penmanship of the note, and Larcher had to admit himself a humbug as a graphologist. "But," he demanded, "did my description happen to fit that particular man Francis Turl?" "Oh, more or less," said Davenport, evasively, as if not inclined to give any information about that person.

Bailey away from the club-house because you were afraid there would be blows?" "The situation was unpleasant," Halsey said evasively. "At that time had you any suspicion that the Traders' Bank had been wrecked?" "No." "What occurred next?" "Mr. Bailey and I talked in the billiard-room until two-thirty."

McIntyre regarded her vexedly. He could not decide whether her flushed cheeks were from fever or the result of exertion or excitement. Excitement over what?

"I know what you're working so extra hard for," she told Jerome one day, with wistful, keen eyes upon his face. "I've always worked hard, haven't I?" he said, evasively. "Yes, you've worked hard, but this is extra hard. Jerome Edwards, you think, maybe, if you can earn enough, you can marry her by-and-by." Jerome colored, but he met his sister's gaze freely.
