"The same," laughed Jack, "only you mustn't call him a boy! He's a big man in his own country." Hamblin eyed Ned critically for a minute and extended his hand. Ned laughed as he took it. "I've met you before!" he said. "In a cheap lodging house on the Bowery," said Hamblin. "You were looking for a man who had robbed a bank an' made a run for it." "Exactly," Ned said.

"You needn't feel any anxiety about that. The other man is an American and a thorough-paced swindler. Nothing will happen to him that he doesn't deserve. But we mustn't waste time. We've still got to unveil the statue. You go on with what you were saying. You were just going to tell me what the Lord-Lieutenant's difficulty is."

"I'm afraid you carry too much at a time," he admonished, gravely. "You mustn't do that." Jinnie dropped her eyes. "I was talking to my uncle about it," she explained embarrassedly, "and he thought same's I, that you were paying too much for that little wood. I'm goin' to bring more after this."

That was almost too much for Betsy! To think that after tomorrow she would never see Shep again nor Eleanor! Nor the kittens! She choked as she bent over Shep and put her arms around his neck for a great hug. But she mustn't cry, she mustn't hurt Aunt Frances's feelings, or show that she wasn't glad to go back to her. That wouldn't be fair, after all Aunt Frances had done for her!

"Then it's hunger." Venters laughed, and suddenly caught himself with a quick breath and felt again the little shock. When had he laughed? "It's hunger," he went on. "I've had that gnaw many a time. I've got it now. But you mustn't eat. You can have all the water you want, but no food just yet." "Won't I starve?" "No, people don't starve easily. I've discovered that.
