Norris' office now. Some one came in while I was there and I think he called him Percival," said Lena faintly. "Say! is that so?" exclaimed Miss Huntress. "Now's your chance!

"Come, get up, there's a good girl," and he stooped and caught her hand. Twala turned and motioned to his son, who advanced with his spear lifted. "Now's your time," whispered Sir Henry to me; "what are you waiting for?"

One Monday Cloete comes to the office a little late hears a woman's voice in George's room and looks in.
"Now's the time!
