I saw my friends on the platform beaming behind the speaker, and I heard my name whispered in the audience. I had been so much of a celebrity, in a small local way, that identification of the speaker's heroine was inevitable. My classmates, of course, guessed the name, and they turned to look at me, and nudged me, and all but pointed at me; their new muslins rustling and silk ribbons hissing.
But alas! an honest man must confess that the identification wants certainty, and the chance of finding any object or inscription which may confirm it is now very small.
It is supposed to represent the toucan a tropical bird, and one not known to exist anywhere within the limits of the United States. If we are not mistaken in supposing it to represent this bird, the remarks made respecting the sculptures of the manitus will here apply with double force. This sculpture is fortunately easy of identification.
"And she never spoke of a mysterious box or any relics that might some day serve as identification tokens." "Never. She always gave me to understand that she was my real mother." "Well, now, Renie, I wish to ask you some very, important questions, and I desire that you will think and consider well before you make a reply."
Morgan smiled a little at this ready identification, remembering the torn page of the hotel register, which all the reading inhabitants of the town who were awake must have examined before this.
Which was a near enough rendering, perhaps, to pass muster in the hearing of two persons imperfectly acquainted with the languages so translated. Then, turning again to the sailor, he continued: "Monsieur de Gemosac would naturally wish to know whether there were papers or any other means of identification found on the woman or the child?" "There were a few papers.
The unlucky accident that the Englishman's companion who was clearly a Belgian peasant, disguised of that there is no doubt was shot through the lungs at the very moment that the two men reached the British line, has wiped out all possible means of identification unless, of course, the man himself can be recognised by someone who knew him.
Barneveld, whose masterful statesmanship, following out the traditions of William the Silent, had ever maintained through good and ill report cordial and beneficent relations between the two countries, had always comprehended, even as a great cardinal-minister was ere long to teach the world, that the permanent identification of France with Spain and the Roman League was unnatural and impossible.
DEAR PAUL: The evening before last definite news was brought to us that a badly smashed Nieuport had been found by French troops, beside which was the body of a sergeant-pilot which had been there at least three days and had been stripped of all identification papers, flying clothes and even the boots. They got the number of the machine, which proved without further question that it was poor Mac.
Me and him" I was balancing my chair on one leg and he pushed me over backward by way of identification "just pose as distinguished members of society for the occasion. I get you." "It might even be possible, Mr. Yerkes, to get the United States Congress to take action on your account." "Don't you believe it!" laughed Will.
