And he recalled the great sentences: "Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. "One generation passeth away and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever. "All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.

He recalled Vernon's swift, unaccountable championship of his cousin at the club an hour before. That was the answer, of course! The young cub had double-crossed him and placed himself in Willa's hands and incidentally landed his erstwhile tyrant in the same position. So be it. He would carry the game into the enemy's camp and then, if necessary, arbitrate.

Yet not five minutes after the Indian girl, faint with exhaustion and dread, was carried within doors, the big mastiff challenged again. The dogs charged furiously out to the northeast and would not be recalled. For nearly half an hour they kept up their angry clamor.

I likewise discovered a cabman who had been present in Hyde Park at an allegedly incriminating speech made by Banter; and on jogging his memory with a little whisky he distinctly recalled several points valuable to the defence. Up till the very day of the trial my time was kept well occupied with such errands.

But the mills of God ground on, and here at last was the might of Britain before Quebec, and Robert's heart, loyal as he was to the mother country, always throbbed with pride when he recalled that his own Americans were there too, the New England rangers and the staunch regiment of Royal Americans, the bravest of the brave, who had already given so much of their blood at Montmorency.

After a few moments Sister Benigna left the piano and stood looking at Elise and her work.

The course of the war abroad recalled him to England, but he was hardly gone when a new turn was given to the struggle by one who was quietly proving himself a master in the art of war. Churchill, rewarded for his opportune desertion of James with the earldom of Marlborough, had been recalled from Flanders to command a division which landed in the south of Ireland.

Metellus was recalled, and the conduct of the Numidian war was assigned to the new hero of the "populares." A shudder of alarm ran, no doubt, through the senate-house when the determination of the people was known. A successful general could not be disposed of so easily as oratorical tribunes. Fortunately Marius was not a politician. He had no belief in democracy.

Here from the thick-growing shrubbery as we watched the amber waters concentrate for their fall, and break into silken streamers of irised spray, we knew they had been appropriately named "Rainbow Falls." We recalled many a cascade among the Alps, where from remote heights the small avalanches of snowy water form comet-like streamers of rarest beauty.

"Ah!" he sneered, "that strikes me as a very liberal compensation for your services!" But he would gladly have recalled the sneer when he saw how the agent received it.
