In the meanwhile, for my own satisfaction, I'll let an expert look at these stones." "Get the greatest diamond expert in the world, and he'll pronounce them perfect!" predicted the odd man. "Now I'll bid you goodnight, and be going. I'll be here at this time to-morrow." As Mr. Jenks turned aside there was a movement among the trees in the orchard, and a shadowy figure was seen hurrying away.

And looking at Buck he said, curiously, "Good-night, youngster! So you're a Barnardo boy, eh?" "Yes, sir," said Buck, lifting his chin a little. "I used to be ashamed of it, but " "You needn't be," said the officer. "It's not what a boy was, but what he is, that counts nowadays. Goodnight! I wish we had more Britishers like you."

Miss Dorcas spoke quite eagerly. "Oh, no, they can't! It's a real wedding, you know. It's got to be at the house." "Yes, of course it's got to! I knew that myself, but I couldn't help hoping. Well, goodnight. You come Sunday." Phoebe lifted her pink skirts about her, and stepped, rustling and stately, down the garden walk.

Heathcote, who, with useful experience of his own not far behind him, was able to show much tact. "I am glad to meet you again, Mr. Grayson," said Mr. Goodnight, in a large, rotund manner. "I am sorry I did not see more of you when we were together in the House. But you were very young then, you know. Who'd have thought that you would be so conspicuous now?

"All right," replied Seaton, as he relinquished the controls to Crane, and after bidding the new helmsman goodnight he and Dorothy went below to their cabin. Standing at a window with their arms around each other they stared down with misty eyes at the very faint green star, which was rapidly decreasing in brilliance as the Skylark increased its already inconceivable velocity.

"I shall be always at your service," I answered quietly, "however much or however little you may care to tell me. Goodnight!" I went to my rooms and washed. Afterwards I descended and ordered some supper in the cafe. "Louis is not back yet?" I remarked to the waiter who attended to me. "Not yet, monsieur," the man answered. "We expect him some time to-morrow. Monsieur is also from Paris?"

From the parterre, from the orchard, from the meadow-lands, from the forest, from the great rocks, from the spreading heavens, came back a ripple of voluptuous joy. Never had the garden, even on the warmest evenings of spring-time, shown such deep tenderness as now, on this fair autumn evening, when the plants and trees seemed to be bidding one another goodnight ere they sank to sleep.

"Clever politics is a phrase hard to define," he said. "One does not always know just where cleverness lies. I have not said anything definite upon this issue, but it doubtless occurs to you gentlemen that I may have opinions." The committee stirred, and Mr. Crayon and Mr. Goodnight looked at each other; it was evident to them that they had not taken the candidate in hand too soon.

Shoestring Griffith is saved. "'Doorin' the subsequent line-up at the bar which concloods the ceremonies, Easy Aaron waxes indignant an' is harrowed to observe Billy Goodnight imbibin' with the rest. ""I thought you-all dead!" says Easy Aaron, in tones of wrathful reproach. ""Which I was dead," says Billy, sort o' apol'getic, "but them words of fire brings me to."

He saw them quiver and shrink, and then grow angry, as Mr. Grayson skirmished closer and closer to the forbidden ground, that area sown with traps and pitfalls, in which many a man has broken his political limbs, yea, has even lost his political life. He watched the massive Mr. Goodnight as he swelled with importance and indignation.
