"I don't care what she says if it's true," replied Sally. "If if John Westerfelt has fooled me, I wouldn't care if it was printed in every paper in the State.

"I was a leetle afeerd all along," admitted Mrs. Dawson.
His conscience began to stir. Had he, indeed, no foundation for his suspicion? "Smith! Smith" cried the irascible officer. "Hey, there! Is the man deaf!"

What ye want?" said the "Wolf's Head," suddenly checking his horse.
"How'll those boy know heem, then?" said Moise. "I don't know. Some boy she'll read more nowadays than when I'm leetle. Better they know how to cook and for to keel the grizzly, hein?"

"I mean t' turn ye out t' grass a leetle while," D'ri answered soberly. "Ye look tired." The officer made at him, but in a flash D'ri had knocked him down with his musket.
