The college registers of this year tell us that he had a clear, active, well-balanced mind, but that he was thoughtless, mischief-making, disorderly, careless; that he did not work, and was undisciplined, though without any malice; that he was very proud, and 'ambitious to attain first rank': a valuable guide in understanding the character of one who became 'the ace of aces. In fact, at the end of the year young Guynemer received the first prize for Latin translation, the first prize for arithmetic, and four honorable mentions."
"You are a lot of cheats and swindlers," she cried, seizing the cards before any one could interfere. Deftly she laid out the four aces beside the four deuces, the four kings beside the four queens. It was done so quickly that even Halsey, in his amazement, could find nothing to say. Mrs. Noble paled and was speechless.
Finally, all the money up, the four aces beat the four kings, and for a greater amount than the Nashvillians had lost and the gambler had won. Whereupon, without change of muscle, the gambler drawled: "Mr. Bugg, the next time you see a spider biting me let him bite on!" I was told that the Senate Game had been played during the War of Sections and directly after for large sums.
As I passed a friendly smile lit up their faces. I walked slowly along the narrow trench, careful not to tread on the feet of the talkers. As I approached a point where the trench, following the direction of the wood, formed an abrupt angle, I heard two familiar voices exchanging the following words: "Fifty-two!...

Pray, let me take it back." We all recover our cards. "Your turn, Countess!" we cry, exhausted. She: "What, again! Why does some one else not play?" Then out comes the ace of diamonds. Some one said, "You have all the aces." She: "Oh! not all; I have not the ace of hearts." Her partner, aghast, begs her not to tell us what her other cards are, and so the game proceeds to the bitter end.

She wouldn't let you be! Nothing was too good for you you were a king! Two deuces and a lazy smile would bluff a brace of aces. But just you let her guess that your straits were desperate. Just you let her guess that your last dollar was on the table! You couldn't catch a pair back to back in forty-seven years. She'd quit you flat! That was why they called luck a lady. Just like a woman!
We've made lots of flights without any accidents. We're as capable as anybody. You know yourself what the instructors up at Mineola told you. You say we are too young to fly away alone. But look at the young fellows that got to be 'aces' in the War! Not much older than we are now." It must be confessed that Mrs. Temple thought little of the matter one way or the other.
Why, I could have the old man's bunch shoveling dirt into that ditch to beat four aces, in about fifteen minutes, if " "But, as you say," Dill cut in anxiously, "we are decent and law-abiding, and such a procedure is quite out of the question."
Look out for washouts, and culverts and bridges damaged by running ice and water. Pendleton special fully up to running schedule, at Willow Springs." "Who've you got up there, Schwartz? Oh, is that you, Ole?" said Mr. Elkins. "Good! Boys, to-night our work has got to be done in time, or we might as well go to bed.
