He had secretly helped her when he could. But what was that in comparison with the singing that had made his work easy, when he saw how the three waifs accepted things as they were, building their whole existence on nothing? Who would help them now over the difficult places without letting them see the helping hand? He must keep watchful eye on them.
So that instead of returning to dry land for many a long day's tramp, she went out to sea in company with sundry wrenched-off boughs, and mats of heather, and bundles of withered bracken, and other such waifs and strays, none of which were ever again heard tidings of any more than they were inquired after in the lonely places they had left.
"How did that get there?" asked Christie, with sudden interest in the flower. "It dropped when I was setting out the others, took root, and looked so pretty and comfortable that I left it. These waifs sometimes do better than the most carefully tended ones: I only dig round them a bit and leave them to sun and air." Mr.
When pretty well breathed our waifs were grown too hardy by that time to be easily exhausted the Guardian got them to sit round him and sing that sweet hymn: "Shall we gather at the river?" And tears bedewed many eyes, for they were reminded that there were yet many partings in store before that gathering should take place.

"No, the wood nymphs have all trotted over to England, and are going to give a performance in aid of the 'Waifs and Strays!" said Dulcie.

"'The Later Pilgrims' are well out of that trouble," announced Helen, when the cars were underway, the honeymoon car ahead and the other members of the party packed into the bigger automobile. "And I hope," she added, "that Ruth will find no more waifs and strays." "Don't be knocking Ruthie all the time," said Tom, glancing back over his shoulder. "She's all right."
It has been frequently stated in the English journals that such a collection was to be published, under the direction of Praed's widow, but we have yet only the volume prepared by a lover of the poet some years ago for the Langleys, in this city. In the "Memoirs of Eminent Etonians," just printed by Mr. Edward Creasy, we have several waifs of Praed's that we believe will be new to all our readers.
There was a sudden flash of lightning, which illumined Jacob's bandaged face, pale with fear and fatigue. The trembling boys looked at each other and Jacob began to cry. "Come, Jacob," murmured Mendel, helping his brother to rise. "We shall die if we stay here. May God protect us." Again the waifs plodded on, Mendel supporting his brother and endeavoring to protect him from the cruel wind.
Perhaps we have drifted too far adown the currents of the ocean. From our digression let us return to out special "Waifs." We left them making preparations to roast the shark-flesh, not in single steaks, but in a wholesale fashion, as if they had intended to prepare a "fish dinner" for the full crew of a frigate.
