It is best sometimes not to permit the child to walk at all. Better far to lose two years of schooling than to be deformed for life. Parents should see to it, with all weakly children, that school does not become a means of trouble. Continuous education is not nearly so important as is sometimes supposed.

It was now evident that the whole structure, over a breadth of several yards, had been either weakly and carelessly built, or had at some former period suffered a sudden and violent shock. He left the stick in the wall to mark the place; and was about to retire, when he heard the footstep of the sentinel on the rampart immediately above.

For some moments Alfred continued to pace up and down the room; then he came to a full stop before Zoie. "I'll have to have something done to that woman," he declared emphatically. "Jimmy will do enough to her," sighed Zoie, weakly. "She's no business to be at large," continued Alfred; then, with a business-like air, he started toward the telephone. "Where are you going?" asked Zoie.

You declare that you will read but one more chapter and you weakly consent to make it two chapters. As a special indulgence you spoil a working day in order to learn about the Return of the Native, perhaps agreeing with a supposititious 'better self' that you will waste no more time on novels for the next six months.

"Better go back and say a word to her." Drouet was glad to do anything for relief. He fairly hustled around to the side entrance, and was let in by the friendly doorkeeper. Carrie was standing in the wings, weakly waiting her next cue, all the snap and nerve gone out of her. "Say, Cad," he said, looking at her, "you mustn't be nervous. Wake up. Those guys out there don't amount to anything.

You make too much of your ribbon: you I it would never have been given if Dale's father hadn't been a brass hat." Stafford was ashy pale. "I know you think you're just." "No, I don't. I'm not just, my good chap: I'm weakly, idiotically generous. In your heart of hearts you're grateful to me. Now let's drop all this.

Rivers's help, following the trail of the missing children, came upon the open door and glanced in. There, to her astonishment, she saw the domestic group already described, and to her eyes dominated by the "most beautiful and perfectly elegant" young man she had ever seen. But let not the incautious reader suppose that she succumbed as weakly as her artless charges to these fascinations.

Beth could not suppress one little cry. "Oh!" It was half a moan, half a shuddering gasp. With her last rally of strength she faced the stairway, and weakly stumbled up the steps. A spasm of agony seized Van by the cords of his heart. He went blindly away, with a vision in his eyes of Beth groping weakly up the stairs a doe with a mortal hurt. How she spent that night Beth never could have told.

As Quirk says, he is such a weakly affair, that it takes nothing at all to knock the senses out of him." "Then you have had a conference with Quirk, this morning, have you?" returned Wilkins, coldly. "Well, your very humane judgment is worthy of both of you; you can now go to your counter, sir, if you like, or seek rest if you are fatigued, as you choose." Arthur took his place in the store.

And aren't they going to do it now! Just because you're ankle is broken?" "They'll do it, all right," answered Bert. "I'm not that important. There's only one man who is so important that they have to have him." "And who's that?" "The leader the man who planned it. He knows the country." Bert folded the map and put it back in his knapsack. "I'm sorry about your ankle," Tom said weakly.
