"I'd feel awful to lose a good friend even if he was a black sheep." As Jack spoke he held up on the end of a stick a small tuft of wool which had adhered to the end of his staff. With it came the odor of burned flesh again. Jack smilingly pulled Tom's sleeve. "The boys are safe," he said, exhibiting the wool. "It was a black sheep that burned. Arnold and Harry are not black sheep."

"By the way, Hastings," I said casually as I went by his desk, "where are you living now?" He looked up smilingly. "Pleasantdale up Kensico way," he answered. I shifted my feet and pulled once or twice on my cigar. I had taken a strange resolve. "Er going to be in this afternoon?" I asked. "I'm off for a run and I might drop in for a cup of tea about five o'clock."

He said he could usually sell such a load for five soles, equivalent to two dollars and a half! His was certainly a hard lot, but he did not complain, although he smilingly admitted that it was very difficult to keep the trail open, since the jungle grew so fast and the floods in the river continually washed away his little rustic bridges.

As I said at first, if you don't like us or our ways you must not feel in the least trammelled. However that may be, I trust you will let me come and see you sometimes. It was my duty to call upon you because you were in my district; but now it will be a pleasure to which I hope you will let me look forward." "You will be welcome," said Mildred smilingly.

Wouldn't you like your own carriage, and servants, and income enough to have everything you wanted?" "Of course," Hazel answered. "But they don't look as if they really enjoyed it." "Fiddlesticks!" Barrow smilingly retorted. "Everybody enjoys luxury." "Well, one should," Hazel admitted.

For a moment a panic was imminent, but Constans quieted it with a word. "It is only the bark of the dog," he said, smilingly, and his hearers somewhat shamefacedly resumed their places, but this time leaving a dear space in which he might stand and handle his weapon. Constans took steady aim, and, to his surprise, missed again, the bullet flying wide. The failure nettled him.

"It's pretty late just now," one of the boys smilingly remarked; "and mother is ill and wants me to go and call the doctor, so I would, dear Miss, like to have half a day's leave; may I?" "Your doings are really fine!" P'ing Erh exclaimed. "You've agreed among yourselves that each day one of you should apply for furlough; but instead of speaking to your lady, you come and bother me!

It was not very long till he had worked himself into a state somewhat akin to his trepidation in the varsity ball game. Then he decided to go up at once and have it done with. His whole freshman year had been one long agony. What a relief to have it ended! Ken passed four examinations in one morning, passed them swimmingly, smilingly, splendidly, and left College Hall in an ecstasy.

'I am sure you would rather be the star mistaken at a distance by some stupid creature for a gas-lamp, than the gas-lamp mistaken even by me' she spoke this smilingly 'for a star. 'I should not like to be mistaken by you for anything, he said. 'You know I could not mistake you. 'I think you are mistaking me now I am afraid so. 'Oh, no; please do not think anything like that.
