The honour was lost. The boys gathered around him after school was closed. "It was too bad, Tip," Howard Minturn said, in a tone of honest sympathy. "You'd have had it in a minute more." "I'd have had it if it had not been for Ellis Holbrook, and he's a mean scamp!" Tip answered, in a rage. "Whew!" said Will Bailey; "what did Ellis do?" and Ellis turned, and proudly confronted the angry boy.
He seemed at home in the water, even with his clothes on, and the long jump had evidently not injured him in the least. He reached the bank, climbed up, and stood dripping before the four young travelers. "Whew!" he gasped, taking off his coat and wringing some water from it. "That was some jump! I had to do it, though!" "Indeed you were fortunate," said Betty. "Are you hurt?"
Then Bob proposed that they go to the Zoo first, and do the shopping afterwards. This they did, and the result was, that, as the animals were so interesting, after they had seen them all it was too late to go to the shops. "Whew! I'd no idea it was so late," said Uncle Ted, looking at his watch; "but never mind.
"Stop!" cried Mr. King, getting up somewhat stiffly to his feet, "I'll take off the apron myself. There, Phronsie, there you are. Whew! how hot you keep your kitchen, Jefferson," and he wiped his face.
"Pay 'em, Ned, while I see what this is," directed the young inventor, as he tore open the envelope. "Whew!" he whistled a moment later. "This is going some." "Where to now?" asked Ned.

Well, I guess I'll have to go."

"I can't say that I see him now, for he's somewhere up in the thickest part of the bushy tree; but it must have been something more than a 'coon, because I actually saw the blaze of its eyes!" "Whew!" gasped Landy, looking as though he wanted to drop the push-pole on the spur of the moment; "get your gun, Lil Artha, why don't you?

"If I've got to make four hundred muffins," she said, "I surely have got to be whiter than snow!" Roused by the racket, her father came irritably and stood in the doorway.
It sounded like a gun-shot in the old man's ears. There was a whirr of wheels, a patter of feet grappling with dirt and throwing it all over him another whirr and flutter and buzz as of a covey flushed, and the field was off, leaving him trailing. "Whew, Ben Butler, we're in fur it now the Lord 'a-mussy on our souls!
"I say, Edna," said he, throwing himself into an easy-chair, and placing his hat upon another near by, "was that a returned manuscript that Cheditafa brought you this morning? You haven't been writing for the magazines, have you?" "That was a letter from Captain Horn," she said. "Whew!" he exclaimed. "It must be a whopper! What does he say? When is he coming here?
