The two heavy holsters it supported were almost incongruous on so slight a figure. Elvine watched her.

In due course he reappeared and was rapidly whirled up to London, the sole passenger in the magnificent car. The man who had brought him the message from his quondam patient was sitting in front, next the chauffeur, so Dr. Whiles had no opportunity of asking him for any information concerning his master.

Zbyszko instantly climbed higher and looked through the thicket toward the water; the beaver plunged into the water, then reappeared on the surface, turning somersets. "I hit him hard! He will soon be quiet!" said Jagienka. The movements of the animal grew slower, and then before one had time sufficient to recite one "Ave Maria," he was floating on his back on the surface of the water.

The Scouts burst out laughing. "He was this time," explained Edith, kindly; "for the real Santa had too much to do, so he asked us to help him." "You are all Santa Clauses!" corrected the child.
