The very spirit of the drum seemed to have entered into him into his hands and his feet, his eyes and his head, and his round little body. He played a long roll between the verses, and it seemed as if he must surely be swept away upon the wings of it. Catching Montague's eye, he nodded and smiled; and after that, every once in a while their eyes would meet and exchange a greeting.
"Just ask," said Bates; "it will be all right." Montague looked at him. He could see that his friend was labouring under great excitement. "Please! please!" he whispered, putting his hand on Montague's arm. And Montague said, "All right." He got up and strolled into the lobby again, and went to the desk. "Good evening, Mr. Montague," said the clerk. "Mr. Harvey hasn't returned."
Was her husband saved, and Charlie?" said Mrs. Morris, in a broken voice. "Yes; Charlie and Mr. Montague are safe. Charlie will recover from it. Montague's life is done. You know his love for his wife. Oh, Margaret! when will men cease to be fools?
Now Montague's idea of hunting had been to steal through the bayou forests, and match his eyes against those of the wild turkey, and shoot off their heads with a rifle bullet. So, when one of these birds rose in front of him, he fired, and the bird dropped; and he could have done it for ever, he judged only it was stupid slaughter, and it sickened him.
"Everyone noticed it. She's rapidly going from bad to worse." "Anyway, it's as good as put five thousand in my pocket, if not more." "What do you mean?"

The boys came home, and got their breakfast and went to school. Miss Laura did not go out She sat all day with a very quiet, pained face and could neither read nor sew, and Mr. and Mrs. Morris were just as unsettled.

If if I will cause Mr. Cutler and Mrs. Vanderheck to be reimbursed for the loss which they sustained through Mrs. Montague's dishonesty, cannot you arrange some way by which a committal and a trial can be avoided?"

In a letter written by one of his colleagues, Secretary Vernon, on the day after the appointment, the Auditorship is described as at once a safe and lucrative place. "But I thought," Vernon proceeds, "Mr.
"He says Waterman was quite explicit in his promises to see Prentice through. And there's one thing you can say about old Dan for all his villainies, he never breaks his word. So I imagine he'll save it." "But then, why give out this report?" exclaimed the lawyer. "Don't you see?" said Bates. "He wants a chance to save it." Montague's jaw fell. "Oh!" he said.
