We now change the scene. "It's a braw day this, my Leddy Maitland," said Geordie, bowing to the very ground, and holding in his hand a clean sheet of paper, which he had folded up like a letter, as a passport to her ladyship's presence.
A very acceptable present it was, and one which George Stephenson remembered with pride down to his dying day. The Geordie lamp continues in use to the present moment in the Tyneside collieries with excellent effect. For some years more, Mr.
She welcomed the four warmly, but as she was constantly in demand by other gay young friends, they had no chance for connected conversation with her. Indeed, connected conversation was not thought of, unless with one's skating partner. "You're all right on runners," commented Geordie Knapp, as he skated with Dotty. "You must be fond of it." "Oh, I am.
Then, with a look of unutterable gladness and contentment, Geordie closed his eyes as if he was going to sleep. Walter Campbell turned away for a moment, for, as he afterwards told one of his shipmates, "It was more than a fellow could stand, and he didn't mind confessing that he hadn't stood it."

Beaten thus far in the battle of chaff, the conductor tried another as he studied Geordie with unfriendly eyes. "Got a kid fireman here 'nother of y'r officers' dog-robbers?" he demanded. Toomey whirled on him in an instant, in spite of Geordie's quick-gripping hand.
