In another minute they were again in their saddles, and turning their faces homeward, they swept over the plain at a steady gallop, fearing lest their accident should be the means of making Mr. Kennedy wait dinner for them. On arriving, they found the old gentleman engaged in an animated discussion with the cook about laying the table-cloth, which duty he had imposed on himself in Kate's absence.
What's the good living in a dangerous age if you don't get hold of any of the danger? This unchristian editor says that little do we realize what a dangerous age it is. And he says it's the literature that's making it so. Then find the literature. Only he beast! doesn't tell you where to." Worth there requested the privilege of whispering in his Aunt Kate's ear.
"No, Maimie," said Kate, with sad earnestness, "he loves you; you can see it in the way he looks at you; in his voice when he speaks and oh, you shouldn't let him unless you mean to to go on. Send him right away!" There were tears in Kate's dark eyes. "Why, Katie," cried Maimie, looking at her curiously, "what difference does it make to you? And besides, how can I send him away?
"I I have some arrangements to make here; I must provide for Klondike Kate's future, and obtain her deposition. She was my mother's friend, who recognized me.

"Now, Tom, don't lose your head, be quiet with them."
Mistress Waynflete had turned a richer colour at the mention of Brocton's name, but at Kate's words she became scarlet, and for that I vowed I would knock him on the head as ruthlessly as if he were a buck rabbit as soon as I got the chance. She recovered and continued her story, but as it only concerned my share in the day's doings, it is unnecessary to repeat it here.
It is in evidence, that on one of the days of Kate's confinement, she complained of fever; and that one of the floggings she received was the day after she made the complaint. When she was taken out of the stocks, she appeared to be cramped, and was then again flogged.
The boy took the old man's hand in his, patted it gently and resumed his walk. The least said the better when Alec felt like this.
