"You are the last who ought to say so." "If the truth were known, I should be among the first. For I am one of the few who see clearly how wicked I was."

His voice was so humble that Moreau was really touched to see the older man blame himself so severely.
When the Indians were supposed to appear the excitement of the players was very realistic indeed, and this included the mules! The stock was all fresh, and the excitement of the human performers spread to it. The wagons raced over the rough trail in a way that shook up severely the girls riding in them. "Oh oo!" squealed Jennie Stone, clinging to Ruth and Helen. "What are they trying to do?
