He drew his pencil through Stubby Abbott's name. Stubby's signature was rather liberally inscribed there, he thought. Betty looked at him a trifle uncertainly. "Aren't you a trifle sweeping?" she inquired. "Perhaps. Stubby won't mind. Do you?" he asked. "I seem to be defenseless." Betty shrugged her shoulders. "What shall we quarrel about this time?" "Anything you like," he made reckless answer.
Knowles' "King Arthur" may not do for you what they did for me; "Sesame and Lilies," "Past and Present," Emerson's "Twenty Essays" may be superseded, though I can hardly believe it; but see to it that you find and read their true successors, carry out Dr. Abbott's advice to his boys to "read half a dozen de-vulgarizing books before leaving school."
A slight color stole to Abbott's face. In fact, he was rather hard hit. This wandering child was no doubt a witch. He looked in the direction of the tent, as if to escape the weaving of her magic. But he only said, "That sounds er practical." "Yes," said Fran, wondering who "the woman" was, "if you can't be practical, there's no use to be.
Secretary, allow me to present Mr. Reeves, Mr. Carleton, Mr. Schmidt, Mr. Dunkel, Mr. Street, Mr. Swiftwater and Mr. Manges." The men filing into the room bowed and mumbled. Enoch looked after Abbott's retreating back admiringly. "I've been hearing Abbott do that sort of thing for two years, but it never fails to rouse my admiration," he said. "A wonderful memory!" commented one of the visitors.
If we have no children, it'll be all right. Rolfe meditated for a moment. 'You remember that fellow Wager the man you met at Abbott's? His wife died a year ago, and now he has bolted, leaving his two children in a lodging-house. 'What a damned scoundrel! cried Hugh, with a note of honest indignation. 'Well, yes; but there's something to be said for him.
We landed on that called the Star, and were hospitably entertained through the day and night by Mr. Abbott, an old inhabitant of the islands, and largely employed in fisheries and trade, and with whom uncle had some business. In the afternoon Mr. Abbott's son rowed us about among the islands, and showed us the manner of curing the dun-fish, for which the place is famed.
There was a suspension of breathing, of sound, through which a fragile hand with a knife searched and searched. Then a shocking blow fell on Charles Abbott's head and the Tacon Theatre rocked and collapsed in darkness. The sharp closing of a door brought him, a man advanced in middle age, abruptly to his feet.
Once out, in the cañons of the Cave Dwellers, you can either camp out with your own tenting and food; or put up at Judge Abbott's hospitable ranch house; or quarter yourself free of charge in one of the thousands of cliff caves and cook your own food; or sleep in the caves and pay for your meals at the ranch. At most, your living expenses will not exceed $2 a day.
Rapidly the cunning hand of the surgeon ran over Abbott's body. He finally shook his head. "Nothing has touched him. His heart gave under. Fainted." When Abbott came to his senses, he smiled weakly. The Barone was one of the two who helped him to his feet. "I feel like a fool," he said. "Ah, let me apologize now," said the Barone.
People send their boys and girls to be taught drawing as an "accomplishment" the feeble old notion. I want to teach it as a most important part of elementary education in fact, to take youngsters straight on from the kindergarten stage.
