Later, when Harrington had taken his jubilant departure, Maxwell related the incident to his chief. Wilson listened with flattering attention. At the end he nodded sympathetically. "He's all right," he said, "and you needn't worry about him. He's got one quality left that sets him far enough apart from the rabble of to- day."

"For my part, I wish we were back in Buffalo harbor." "Oh! we'll run along all right," came from Tom. "Don't get scared before you are hurt." He looked at his watch. "Half-past five! I didn't think it was so late." "It will be dark before long," said Dick. "Perhaps the blow will go down with the setting of the sun." "We'll never know when the sun sets excepting by the almanac," murmured Sam.

But the heart of the wife was too full of fear to receive comfort just then from her boy's words. "Nay, Hans," she said; "some evil has befallen him. He never tarries so late.
