Scully. Do you know Mr. Scully, Alice? Violet's brother. 'Yes, I met him the night we dined at Lord Dungory's. 'Oh, of course you did. Well, I admit I don't like him; but May does. They go out training horses together. I don't mind that; but I wish she wouldn't imitate his way of talking. He has been a very wild young man. 'Now, mother dear, I wish you would leave off abusing Fred.

"That there's Injun tobacco. The Injuns always use it, and Granny does, too, sometimes." "A Witch-hazel wand will bob over a hidden spring and show where to dig. Denny Scully is awful good at it. He gets a dollar for showing where to sink a well, an' if they don't strike water it's because they didn't dig where he said, or spiled the charm some way or nuther, and hez to try over.

'Yes, was the answer, and he clasped the thin hand she extended to him. 'Ah, how happy you have made me, I never thought such honours were in store for me, exclaimed Mrs. Scully. The discipline of years was lost in a moment; and, reverting to her long-buried self, she clasped the Marquis to her agitated bosom. Violet looked annoyed, ashamed; and Mrs.

They lived in one of those box-like mansions, so many of which were built in Ireland under the Georges. On either side trees had been planted, and they stretched to the right and left like the wings of a theatre. In front there was a green lawn; at the back a sloppy stableyard. The latter was May's especial delight, and when Mr. Scully was with them, it seemed impossible to induce her to leave it.

He was an enormously rich man he had a hand in all the big graft in the neighborhood. It was Scully, for instance, who owned that dump which Jurgis and Ona had seen the first day of their arrival.

It's dodging me to fly around all hours of the night with May Scully, the girl who put the tang in tango. It's eating around in swell sixty-cent restaurants like this and " "Gad! your middle name ought to be Nagalene." "Aw, now, Jimmie, maybe it does sound like nagging, but it ain't, honey. It it's only my my fear that I'm losing you, and and my hate for the every-day grind of things, and "

"I'll attend to that all right," he said. And the other replied, "It's a go, then; I'm your man."
