Neidlinger has made a special study of music for children, his book, "Small Songs for Small Children," being much used in kindergarten work.

"They tell me that pool is one of your greatest accomplishments." "I'm pretty useful," the young man confessed, with a satisfied chuckle. "Give you a black at snooker, what?" Dominey took his arm and led him into the billiard-room.
"Rouse up Wrench!" said Glyn laughing. "Why, it'll rouse up the whole school. Only that I know that the fellows won't be in any hurry to get up, I should be afraid that they would come scrambling out into the playground, and we should have the great monster picking the little ones up one at a time and taking them like pills."

The doctor "made his pile" long ago, although he still devotes his personal attention to the "entirely vegetable and innocent pills, whose life-giving power no pen can describe." In the same year, he was elected to the New York State Senate, and in 1859 was again elected. Dr. Brandreth is a liberal man and a pleasant, entertaining, and edifying companion.
He was rolling the bread pills again, a flush rising. "You know where I stand, Clara, on things between us." "Yes, Sam, and now you know where I stand." The din of the dining-room surged over the pause between them. Still in the purple hat, and her wrap thrown back over her chair, she held that pause coolly, level of eye. "I'm thirty-one now, Sam, three weeks and two days older than you.
"I wanted to find out, first, if Ransford gave this box to Collishaw, and when. I'm going to Collishaw's house presently I've certain inquiries to make. His widow'll know about these pills."
