After proposing the thing, too, and being the best figure of all to do it. Ta, ta, ladies! We shall meet again at feeding time. Eh, Alfy? I mean Miss Babcock!" "Huh! Don't you think I didn't notice 't you ate more 'n anybody else of the crackers and cheese. Good-by!"

But Alfy nodded, well pleased, and Mr. Ford rode to the head of the little cavalcade and took his place at Dorothy's side, while the others followed, two by two, to make a circuit of the grounds and test their mounts. The men cheered again and again as the procession started, Mr.

Ford protesting that it was inhospitable to put all her family in one vehicle, and that the best, but that "a Ford should have been in each." "Let's change, then," begged Monty, "and let one of the girls settle it as she knows we'd like it." But Alfy gave him such a frown that he ducked his head, avoiding an imaginary blow, while Miss Milliken as vigorously declared: "You mustn't do that.

And I don't see as we're going to be so much alone, after all. There's the trained nurse, and though the doctor's gone to Denver he'll come back." "She's sick herself, this last day or so, Alfy. We mustn't count on her nor on Dr. Jones. But there's Mr. Robson, Captain Lem, Anita, Wun Sing and lots of ranchmen left. Oh! we'll be all right!" said Dorothy.

'We all knew it must cost us something, she said, 'and we'll try to be ready with it, though it does go to one's heart that the first should be what vexes you, my Alfy; but it won't be for long. 'No, Mother; but if it ain't here long? Oh! I don't seem to have nothing to look to if Miss Jane ain't coming here no more, with her pretty ways! And there were large tears on his cheeks. Mrs.

She remarked: "We don't often enough take time to say your whole name, child. It's generally 'Alfy. Let's compromise and call our lamb Netty." "Good enough!

Eunice, she's alone with Moses so helpless, an' I don't believe half the shutters is tight nor nothin'. Seems if a body had more on their hands than they could 'tend to times like these. Why don't you move, Alfy? An' not stand stock starin' still, like an idjut? If the wind sounds that way indoors, what you s'pose it is outside?

I don't like to promise things but I guess this is safe enough. When you get there when you get there I'll come, and you shall have the finest dinner Alfy and I can cook. We'll do it all by ourselves when you get there to eat it!" "Oh! I'll be there, never fear. My! isn't this rippin'? How does the old soldier make the men keep such order, I wonder!

Betsey Hardman? Dear dear Alf, is it anything dreadful? 'That I shall die, said Alfred, his eyes growing round with terror again. 'That Mr. Blunt said I couldn't last out the winter. 'Dear Alfy, don't! cried Ellen, throwing her arms round him, and kissing him with all her might; 'don't fancy it!

'Of course he will, said Ellen, with her hand on Paul's chair, and speaking low and affectionately to console him, as she saw him so downcast; 'don't you know how poor Alfy says he's come to be instead of a son to Mother, and a brother to us? I must go up and tell Alf and mother. They'll be so pleased. Paul felt very differently about the plan now.
