Not the three brothers Garland, Fergus, Stair and Agnew, stalwart and brown, nor yet the two elder girls not little Ménie coming singing like a linnet over the moor, brought Patsy so often that way.

"My!" drawled Jess, "Mother Wit is nothing if not optimistic." "Ha! what is your idea of an optimist?" demanded Nellie Agnew. "Why," Jess said, smiling quietly, "I read of a real optimist once. He was strolling along a country road and an automobile came along and hit him in the back. It knocked him twenty feet. "'Oh, well! said he, as he got up, 'I was going in this direction, anyway."

Agnew was the only man on the division that was always calm. He was thorough, practical, and after he had cut his mountain teeth in the Peace River disaster, a hardheaded man at his work. "It will take forty-eight hours after I get my material here " "Forty-eight hours!" echoed Callahan. "Why, man, we shall have eight trains of California fruit here by four o'clock."

The exact relationship of Mary Agnew to "the bravest man in the British army" remains undecided, but letters still extant from the Lady Agnew of the day address her as "Dear Molly," and end, "Your affectionate cousin" or "kinswoman." Her son Thomas succeeded his father in 1721, and, retiring with his captaincy, settled on the estate.

During the night a squadron patrol of Hyderabad Lancers rode across the hills from the 75th Division into our lines, a truly wonderful feat across unknown country held by the enemy. At dawn the problem was, had the enemy evacuated the garden. Lieut. Agnew, the scout officer, set out to find out and C.Q.M.S. Kelly and Sergt. Black volunteered to accompany him.

Fergus will have the farm when my father has done with it. Agnew takes to books and will get learning. But the 'fechtin' fool' must still be the fechtin' fool. And there is no outgate for him except what he can make with his two hands. "What has he to do with falling in love, Whitefoot? Answer me that, silly dog, instead of lickin' and slaverin' all over my hand! Can he marry? No.

That's no place for you to go camping. And then walked right off with his old clipping, and without giving me a chance to ask him what he meant," concluded Bobby Hargrew. Bobby Hargrew came to school the next morning with rather a sour face for her. "What's the matter, dear?" asked Nell Agnew, sympathetically. "I wish I were a bird," grumbled Bobby.

"I don't like the looks of them," said I. "I think I had better fire a gun." "Why?" cried Agnew. "For Heaven's sake, man, don't hurt any of them!" "Oh no," said I; "I only mean to inspire a little wholesome respect." Saying this I fired in the air. The report rang out with long echoes, and as the smoke swept away it showed us all the natives on the ground.

You see, honey dear, father Brent wanted me to have vocal and piano lessons, and to do that I had to go to Seattle once a week, and the railroad-fare, in addition to the cost of the lessons, was prohibitive until your father was good enough to secure me a position in the railroad-agent's office in Port Agnew.

Two thousand persons looked to him and his enterprise for their bread and butter; he owned a fleet of half a dozen steam-schooners and sixteen big wind-jammers; he owned a town which he had called Port Agnew, and he had married and been blessed with children. And because his ambition no longer demanded it, he was no longer a miser.
