His lips murmured inarticulate names, confused words: "Pardon punishment Marsa " As Yanski Varhely, with his two seconds, again passed the straw-workers, the girls saluted them with: "Well, where are your other friends? Have they found their sweethearts?"

He had evidently perceived the general of brigade, and quickened his horse as the latter drew up. The staff followed more leisurely, but still with some curiosity, to witness the meeting of the first general of the army with the youngest. The division general saluted, but almost instantly withdrew his leathern gauntlet, and offered his bared hand to the brigadier. The words of heroes are scant.

Saint Remy profoundly saluted Madame d'Orbigny; and at the moment of leaving the notary, wishing to try a last effort to soften him, he said, in a careless manner, which nevertheless disclosed profound anxiety: "Decidedly, my dear M.

But he panted, and I noticed in a moment that he had lost his lisp. 'I am happy in finding you, he said, closing the door carefully behind him, 'for I am the bearer of ill news, and there is not a moment to be lost.

These two weapons might at one discharge have annihilated a huge mob of insurgents threatening to storm the palace, were insurrections known in Mars, These men saluted us by dropping the points of their weapons and inclining the handle towards us; gazing upon me with surprise, and with something of soldierly admiration for physical superiority.

"Well, then," said General Gallieni, "we shall have to do the best we can. Now, you two go into the next room and get some sleep.

Chester saluted the general, and, followed by Jean, made his way into the adjoining room, while the general proceeded to get busy on the telephone.
