And truly, as we often observe, the Laws of Fact are still severer than Friedrich was: so that, in the long-run, perhaps it is beautifulest of all for a King, who is just, to be rhadamanthine in important cases. Exulting Daun, instead of Bohemia for winter-quarters, pushes out now for the prize of Saxony itself.
Gascoyne at once understood the intended maneuver of his mate; and, in spite of himself, a gleam of triumph shot from his eyes. Montague himself suspected that his prize was not altogether so sure as he had deemed it; and he urged the men in the boat to put forth their utmost efforts.
Meanwhile Arendt, the treacherous host, sought a neighbor, Mans Nilsson, whom he told of the rich prize he had found and asked his aid in capturing him and gaining the high reward offered for him by the king. He was mistaken in his man. Mans hated treachery.
Falve was seized. "Ah, my lording," cried he, "what do you there? Must I be flogged because I have lost my wife?" "No, dog. But because you have married mine." "Nay, nay, mercy, my lording! I have not yet married her." "Ha!" said Galors, "then you shall be flogged for jilting her." And flogged he was. And the flogging cost Galors his prize. Galors now bestirred himself.

They had reached the edge of the crowd, which circled about some knot of violent struggle and gesture. "Excuse me!" He had sprung from her side and was breaking his way through.
We should prize them most for His sake, and love Him more than we do them. We should be drawn to Him as well as driven to Him. Faith may begin with desiring the blessing rather than the Christ. It must end with desiring Him more than all besides, and with losing self utterly in His great love.
"There is going to be a tub race as one of the attractions." "Good enough! I can win a tub race as well as anything else if I put my mind on it," laughed Billy. "I think I'll enter for it." "Anything to make things lively," said the messenger, and then he shortly took his leave, while the Hilltop boys were greatly excited over the coming contest wherein they hoped to take more than one prize.
