"And if they had any sense they would know that with every drink they are throwing away a big chance of winning." "Horo, you fellows!" shouted big Hec Ross across to them, "aren't you going to play any more? Have you got enough of it already?" "We will not be caring for any more of yon kind," said Johnnie Big Duncan, good-naturedly, "and we were thinking of giving you a change."

It was his favorite post of observation when waiting for his mother to come home from one of her many meetings. And on this particular March evening he had been waiting long and impatiently. Suddenly he shouted: "Horo, mamma! Horo!"

"Any plan, captain?" asked the master, after they had talked for some minutes, and all grew quiet. "What do you think, sir?" said Hughie. "O, let us hear from you. You're the captain." "Well," said Hughie, slowly, and with deliberate emphasis, "I think we are going to win." Enthusiastic exclamations, "That's right!" "Better believe it!" "Horo!" "But we have a big fight before us.

The pig and the dog were the only land mammals they knew before the white arrived. The race-track near Papeete was puaa horo fenua faa titi auraa. If a pig could talk, he would say that man was a wickeder and stronger pig. Jehovah has whiskers like a Rabbi. The Rabbis made him like themselves. Man has no other ideal.

It was Ranald Macdonald, coming over the seats, followed by Don Cameron, Billy Ross, and some smaller boys. The master turned to meet them. "Come along!" he said, backing up to his desk.

Then she heard the man at the helm begin to hum to himself "Fhir a bhata, na horo eile." The night darkened.

"The waves are dancing merrily, merrily, Ho-ro, Whairidher, turn ye to me: The sea-birds are wailing, wearily, wearily, Horo Whairidher, turn ye to me. "Hushed be thy moaning, love bird of the sea, Thy home on the rocks is a shelter to thee; Thy home is the angry wave, mine but the lonely grave, Horo Whairidher, turn ye to me." Lucy rose abruptly and left the room.

Uri means dog and taata man, and the compound name was that which sprang to the lips of the Tahitians on seeing a monkey, just as they called the horse puaa horo fenua, the pig that runs on the earth, and the goat, horo niho, the pig with horns.

"Say," said Don, "he's making for Alan Gorrach's cabin." "Man!" said Hughie, "that would be fine, to get him there. It's good and open, too." "Too open by a long way," grunted Don. "We'd never get him there." Sure enough, the dogs led up from the swamp and along the path to Alan's cabin. The door stood open, and in answer to Don's "Horo!" Alan came out.
