Slone gathered from their manner and expression that anything might happen with Bostil in such a mood. "We'd be racin' the King an' Wildfire, wouldn't we?" replied Slone. "An' supposin' we would?" returned Bostil, ominously. His huge frame vibrated with a slight start. "Wildfire would run off with your favorite an' you wouldn't like that," answered Slone.
I'd like to score to-day, now that ye're all here to see an' Miss Tommy too, that's never seen racin'." He smiled down at the English girl's pink face. "I'm going to see you win to-day, Murty I feel it in my bones," said Tommy promptly. "I've always loved Shannon, ever since I saw you jump those big fences with him when we put up the hare out mustering."
"Nope," says I; "nor racin' tips, church fair chances, or Danish lottery tickets. We don't even back new movie concerns." That gets a twinkle out of his restless eyes. "I don't blame you in the least," says he. "I suppose there are more worthless franchises hawked around New York than you could stuff into a moving van.

"Oh, deah," croaked the Little Colonel like a dismal raven, as she waited at the head of the stairs for the girls to finish dressing.

If you all had to leave at the same time, it would be so lonesome that I couldn't stand it."

Instead of racin over the country like a young doctor, to show how busy a man is that has nothin to do, as Blue Nose does, and then take a "blowin time," we kept a rale travellin gate, an eight-mile-an-hour pace, the whole year round. THEY BUY MORE NOR THEY SELL, AND EAT MORE THAN THEY RAISE, in this country. What a pretty way that is, is'nt it?
