Clowes, having heard everything and seen the letter, unhesitatingly voted for the right course. If fifty mad Irishmen were to be expelled, Barry must play against Ripton. He was the best man, and in he must go. "That's what I thought," said Trevor. "It's bad for O'Hara, though." Clowes remarked somewhat tritely that business was business.

But the need for this answer had been foreseen, and the nun unhesitatingly returned This answer raised Asmodee somewhat in the opinion of those present; but when the bailiff adjured the superior to repeat in Greek what she had just said in Latin she made no reply, and on the adjuration being renewed she immediately recovered her senses.

"Well, I can't admit that I fancy that style of saying how-de-do to a fellow. Why don't you sing out to him and ask him what he is after?" As the individual asked this question in the same loud voice, he unhesitatingly stepped from behind his concealment and began walking toward the one that had used him as a target.

Yer the young lady I give this picture to?" "I'm Helen," she breathed, with an indescribable accent of tenderness and gladness. "Why, cert'ny. The doctor tole me 'bout you." "But you remember me yourself?" she pleaded.

It is natural that this should be so, for mere book-education biases the mind always, either for or against, and therefore, it is not strange that in the far West, we should often meet with men who unhesitatingly declare that the red man, if capable, is unwilling to entertain in his character even one redeeming trait; but, on investigating their individual case, we find that they are but superficial observers who are prone to find fault with everything that does not exactly suit their tastes.
