Bright and "Dodd" had met in the heat of this encounter. It is useless to speculate on what would have occurred. Some of the boys, waiting in the room they had just left, offered to bet two to one on the master if it came to business.

"She's all right!" "What's best ole town in the U. S. A.?" "Zeeeeeen-ith!" The patient poor people waiting for the midnight train stared in unenvious wonder Italian women with shawls, old weary men with broken shoes, roving road-wise boys in suits which had been flashy when they were new but which were faded now and wrinkled.

Martin, I hope you are very angry indeed with us for not writing. We are as penitent as we ought to be that is, I am, for I believe I am the idle person; yet not altogether idle, but procrastinating and waiting for news rather more worthy of being read in Rome than any which even now I can send you.... And now, my dear Mrs.

I've got a fly waiting by the Pool if the man hasn't gone to sleep and the horse run away. Will you meet me there?

Then last Thursday morning he called on me to tell me that he was through; that he would never see me again in fact, that he was to marry a girl of his own people who had been waiting " The woman looked piteously about at us. "I was desperate," she pleaded.

"Then you forgive me?" he cried eagerly. "For the words you spoke then I do not even blame you, sir. But what was, can never be again." "Ay," said the officer, bitterly. "You need not say it.
