In their rapid flight they came to a deep gulley which Yates cleared at a bound, but young Downing failed in the attempt. His breast struck the opposite almost precipitous bank, and he rolled to the bottom of the ditch. Some obstruction in the way prevented the Indians from witnessing the fall of Downing.
The echo of his hearty yell still resounded in the depths of the woods, and rang in Yates' ears as he pulled himself together. "Did you ah make any remarks?" asked Yates quietly. The boy admired his gift of never showing surprise. "I say, don't you know that it's not healthy to go to sleep in the middle of the day?" "Is it the middle of the day? I thought it was later.
My old friend Will Rose dined with us, also a Doctor Yates and his wife the Esculapius of Brighton, who seems a sensible man. I was entertained with the empire he exerted over him as protector of his health. I was very happy to find myself at Sophia's quiet table, and am only sorry that I must quit her so soon. May 21.
There was, as Yates afterward remarked, "abundance, and plenty of it." "Come, father!" cried Mrs. Bartlett, as the young men appeared; they heard the rocking chair creak on the veranda in prompt answer to the summons.

Two large pitchers of cool, soft water awaited them, and the wash, as had been predicted, was most refreshing. "I say," cried Yates, "it's rather cheeky to accept a man's hospitality after knocking him down." "It would be for most people, but I think you underestimate your cheek, as you call it."

That's fair, an' I'd give it to a painter. Now read it all over." Jim put his head down between his knees, the better to measure every word, while Yates read the complete document.
So I was sitting there awhile this morning, and Mrs. Lawrence's sister, Miss Bacon, came in, and she happened to ask me oh, if only she HADN'T! -if I knew that they meant to let Yates operate on Chrissy's throat. She said she thought it was a great pity. Oh, if only I'd held my tongue, fool, fool, FOOL that I was!" Miss Lydia took down her hand, and regarded Susan with hot, dry eyes.
Fanny, being always a very courteous listener, and often the only listener at hand, came in for the complaints and the distresses of most of them. She knew that Mr. Yates was in general thought to rant dreadfully; that Mr. Yates was disappointed in Henry Crawford; that Tom Bertram spoke so quick he would be unintelligible; that Mrs.
One marked feature in the enlargement of the work has been the opening of two more Central Stations: one at Rosebud Agency, the other located at Fort Yates, near the junction of the Grand River with the Missouri. The new mission house has been built, and by the aid of special gifts from benevolent friends at the East, a commodious building has been erected for a hospital.
