I think you will find it comfortable." "Oh, perfectly so, I am quite sure. I must thank you for the prompt manner in which you have arranged everything for us. It seems more like coming to an old home than to a new residence," replied Mr. Garie. "I am delighted to hear you say so," said Mr. Walters. "I shall be most happy to call and pay my respects to Mrs. Garie when agreeable to her.

"Manning is asleep. He sacked in right after we left the Academy. Now leave me alone, will you! I've got a race to win!" "Very well, Miles," said Strong. "But for your sake, I hope Cadet Manning is asleep." "End transmission," growled Miles, and again the speaker went dead. "Trouble, Steve?" Strong turned to see Commander Walters enter the control room. "No, sir," said Strong.

It was only a day or two after that perilous "cruise," that Dab Kinzer met his old playmate, Jenny Walters, just in the edge of the village. "How well you look, Dabney!" remarked the sharp-tongued little lady. "Drowning must agree with you." "Yes," said Dab, "I like it." "Do you know what a fuss they made over you, when you were gone? I s'pose they'd nothing else to do."

"I'm glad you're here, Ess," said he, "you'll indulge me. Here is the key open my trunk and get me out a nightcap; I'm too tired, or too lazy, to get it for myself." Esther stooped down, opened the trunk, and commenced searching for the article of head-gear in question. "Come, Ess," said Charles, coaxingly, "tell me what this is about you and Mr. Walters."

"Yes," said Lucy frankly; "but not altogether because I'm vindictive. The man who could make people suffer as Lawrence and I did ought to be punished." "He ought.

"Why, you're being arrested for the murder of Arnold Rivers." For a moment the butler retained his professional glacial disdain, and then the bottom seemed to drop suddenly out of him. Rand suppressed a smile at this minor verification of his theory. Walters had been expecting to be accused of larceny, and was prepared to treat the charge with contempt.

The next morning she said that she had long promised Sarah King to pay her a visit, and she thought she would go for two or three days. Sarah had just been to Pittsburg, and had seen Miss Walters, and she wanted so much to hear from her. This announcement quite settled it.

Now, whilst you are loading the rest, I will go downstairs, where I have some little matters to attend to." On the stair-way he was met by Kinch and Caddy, who were tugging up a large kettle of water. "Is it possible, Caddy," asked Mr. Walters, "that your propensity to dabble in soap and water has overcome you even at this critical time? You certainly can't be going to scrub?"
