What the devil is this?" exclaimed a loud voice at the door. "By gad, it's the old man himself," muttered the M. O. to Barry. "Now look out for ructions." In came the O. C., followed by a brass hat. Barry went forward with a steaming tin of coffee. "Sorry our china hasn't arrived yet, sir," he said cheerfully, "but the coffee isn't bad, the boys say."

"Gad, that smells good!" cried Harry. I shuddered. He dragged the thing a few feet away, and I heard him slashing away at it with his spear. A minute later he came running over to us with his hands full of something. That was not exactly a pretty meal. How Desiree, in her frightfully weakened condition, ever managed to get the stuff down and keep it there is beyond me.

It seemed as though, for the first time, he began to catch some of "The still gad music of humanity," and to listen with deep eagerness to the strain.

"Thought there weren't many men in London could teach me anything; certainly never suspected a woman could. But I've met one, boy! Gad! What a splendid creature! You know there isn't much in the world I haven't seen north, south, east and west. I know all the advertised beauties of Europe and Asia stage, opera, and ballet, and all the rest of them. But this one Gad!"

Then came Gad to David and bade him make an altar in the same place where he saw the angel; and he bought the place, and made the altar, and offered sacrifices unto our Lord, and our Lord was merciful, and the plague ceased in Israel.

I thought: "By gad, Nick Stretton, you'll go in the front door!" For that with me shut up to die in Thompson's stope, and not one other soul alive to interfere with him was the last thing Macartney would think to lock! Nor had he.

Hopwood has got the gad coming to him for sure." "Ain't that the truth!" exclaimed the Kid. "By the way, did he mention the name of the beetle that's going to do all this heavy work?" "That's the best joke of all," said Old Man Curry. "Hopwood stables down at the end of the line, where Gilfeather used to be. Go take a look at what they sold him for five hundred dollars."

Of course Peter was a rock, of course anyone could trust him, and of course if the tempest of life beat upon her too strongly she could always fly to Peter. "May I?" she inquired, stretching her hand in the direction of a sheet. "Sure," said Peter. "What is it?" inquired Linda lightly. "The bridge or the road or the playroom?" "Gad!" he said slowly. "Don't talk about me being a rock!

Gad, it sometimes seems to me you're all trying to make my forefathers turn over in their graves up there on the hill." "You're kind of peevish today, ain't you?" inquired the other, grinning. "You'll get used to the way we snore before long, and you'll kind of enjoy it. I'd be scared to death if I got awake in the night and didn't hear everybody in the house snoring.
