When I seen 'em, right away my heart just stopped." "Sh-h-h! Yes two men had the books." "And Uncle Isadore Uncle Isadore he was he " "Go on!" "He he was in the cage, too; and and you know how he looks when his eyes get little." "Yes, yes, Izzy." "They were expert accountants with him. All day yesterday, Sunday, they were on my books; and and they had me, Renie they had me like a rat in a trap."
"And we sure were surprised when we saw that arrow shoot up from the depths," said Isadore. "What do you suppose mother will say?" cried one of the Tingley boys. "Don't let's tell her," suggested Ruth, quickly. "There's no need. It will only add to her worries and she will be troubled enough by us as it is."

Where are the babies, and what have you done with Miss Young?" "The brothers-in-law are all right. They will be back presently. There is a round-up to-day, which was the reason we sent Isadore in with the carriage; no one else could be spared. The babies are having their supper, you will see them anon, and Imogen has gone for a fortnight to St. Helen's." "Oh!"
But one thought comforts me," he continued: "if I had been living in that cot with my wife I would not have had the stomach-ache; so that balances things somewhat." The lady smiled.
