"Where did you find it?" asked Johnny, indicating the departing messenger. "Follow you home one cold night, or did a friend give it to you?" "Oh, no," she said carelessly; "it just sticks around. I can't get rid of it, so I've trained it to be handy when I need it."

She was a person of intellect, possessed of a powerful, trained will, and of consummate audacity, and I am convinced availed herself of the resources of the lower magic to attain her ends. This goes far to explain the virulence of the attack upon yourself, and why she is still able to carry on after death the evil practices that formed her main purpose during life."

"Don't know nuffun about Poor Jine we've got only one Jine here, and that's the monkey, and she ain't my sister, leastways it's to be hoped as she in't." But although it was disappointing to find that the clever clown was only Bill all the time, the twins enjoyed their drive home, for Bill told them many wonderful tales of his life in the ring, and of the animals which he had trained.

As happened in all the contests for the city, the power of trained force in the end prevailed over the enthusiasm of fervent patriots.

Such of the dogs as became tired, or got out of rank, were severely punished, which made them howl still more.

And the voices of many persons are through life imperfect and disagreeable, because they were not carefully trained in early life to articulate distinctly, much less to utter musical sounds.

In an instant they had put on every last trace of power, and at their top speed they were racing west, away from their tiny opponent in the only direction that was open to them. But it was useless. The Solarite could pick up speed in half the time they could, and in an instant Arcot again trained his beam on the mighty splotch of light that was a fleeing plane.

"Eh you have a good working party." "Fine!" said Dick. "Just about broke in. Got the gang working pretty well to rights at last." "Would you eh it would take a long time to get such another party of laborers eh trained to work well and swiftly?" "Months!" said Dick. "Unless you've got tame wizards up your sleeve."
