"You made him win the money, Gebhard," she said, in a voice tremulous with emotion. "Oh, do not shake your head tell me the truth! You made Leesten win, because you wished to preserve him from the necessity of accepting alms. You made him win, that his daughter might marry." "Nonsense!" said Blucher, growlingly, "how could I make him win when he did not really win?
It was the greatest "bear" raid in the annals of the Stock Exchange, so graybeards said; and what peculiarly marked it for the admiration of mankind was that it had had the least success. In three days, with five hundred and sixty-one thousand shares sold, the stock had fallen only eleven points. The raid was over and the "bears" had growlingly retreated thirty minutes before the close on Friday.
He was too proud to condescend to false reasoning with his lips, though he encouraged it in his heart.

Bascomb stopped and showed his yellow teeth, while he trembled slightly with anger. "So that's your trick!" he said, growlingly. "Yes, that's my trick; and if you blow on Merriwell, I will play the card. You made a big mistake in taking me for a sneak just because I didn't happen to like a fellow who is popular.
