Following Thor had been like a game of tag with never a moment's rest. An hour after they left the sheep trail they came to the rise in the valley where the waters separated. From this point one creek flowed southward into the Tacla Lake country and the other northward into the Babine, which was a tributary of the Skeena.
I built The Dreamerie for you and the girl you'd marry and I I accept her unconditionally, my son, and thank God she has the charity to accept an old Pharisee like me for a father-in-law." Donald slipped his arm around Nan's waist, and started with her toward the door. "Tag along, father," he suggested, "and Nan will show you a prize grandson." At the door, Nan paused.
And there the matter dropped, for the time. Had Dick & Co. and some other High School fellows but known it, however, Drayne would have borne close watching. Putting the Tag on the Sneak Anything that Dick Prescott had charge of went along at leaps and bounds. Hence the football eleven was in good shape ten days earlier than Coach Morton could remember to have happened before.
When the wolf guesses the number corresponding to his own, he does not have to pursue, for his double becomes the wolf, and he is changed into a sheep. After the game has gone on so far that the number of each is pretty well known, the boys can change numbers without the knowledge of the wolf, and this adds greatly to the sport. Another variation of tag is popularly known as "Bull in the Ring."
In the open the children were running back and forth, playing tag and squealing over the hazards of the game. When the Thunder Bird rolled out with its outspread wings and its head high and haughty, they gave a final dash at one another and rushed off to get wheelbarrow and stick horses. They were well trained shamefully well trained in the game of cheating.
I did not tell him that I had seen the name of Saunders on the tag of a shirt somewhat soiled. "Your father's name was John before you," I added at a venture. He assented, half-frightened, although I had only guessed at this, supposing John Saunders to be a somewhat continuous family name in a family of auburn Highlanders. "He sells farm stuff at the hotel above," I ventured.
"That's a beautiful game you and Dicky were playing this morning," he remarked presently, "tagging each other with rainbows. I believe I'll put it into this fairy tale, have the water-nixies do it as they slide over the water-fall." "But it isn't half as nice as the game we play in earnest," she assured him. "In our Rainbow Club we have a sort of game of tag.
If such were the case Packard meant to know it. "There are things, Barbee," he had said bluntly, "which I can't tell you yet; I don't know you well enough. But this I can say: I am out to get Blenham's tag." "So'm I," said Barbee. "That's one reason you've got the job you're holding down right now.
Well, that reminds me I promised the children to play with them for a while before supper." So he came out, and presently, brave in the shirt of Nessus, and mimicked in every action by that incongruous shadow, Prince Jurgen was playing tag with the three little Eumenides, the daughters of Anaitis by her former marriage with Acheron, the King of Midnight.
Like the tail which undertakes to wag the dog, this tag constituted itself the criterion and proposed "initiating" any accession to the inhabitants. To take the conceit out of the upstart who had leaped from the flatboat deck to behind the counter at the store the acme of a bumpkin's ambition they selected their bully.
