I rather fancy Acton saw it too, and accepted the smile as a sneering challenge; anyhow, he set his lips and I believe made up his mind that in any case Aspinall should not get the winning goal.

There was something about the whole of his bearing in the caddish business that told me plainly that we would have to treat him, not as a fellow who had been betrayed to a vile action by a beastly temper and was bitterly sorry for it, but as a fellow who hated us for finding it out. I saw Aspinall two days later, and as we walked towards the station I broached the matter.

On one side Shannon at back, Amber the International at half, and Aspinall, the International left-winger, were head and shoulders above the others; on our side, Bourne and Acton dwarfed the rest. Bourne played back, and Acton was his partner. Bourne I knew well, since he was in the Sixth, and I liked him immensely; but of Acton I knew only a little by repute and nothing personally.

He said: "Al li'. Pay bimeby. Nexy time Flyday. Me tlust." Then he departed with his immortalized smile. It would almost appear that he was wrong according to our idea of Chinese lights. Mrs Aspinall went to the court it was a small local court. Mrs Next-door was awfully sorry, but she couldn't possibly get out that morning. The contractor had the landlord up as a witness.

Joseph Aspinall, of Detroit, Michigan, in response to an invitation to attend the Reciprocity Convention, held last year, will illustrate the benevolent idea of the treaty, and exhibit the opinion of a distinguished admirer of the United States upon the renewal of the instrument. The letter, itself, is dated London, 10th June, 1865. 'The project of your convention gives me great pleasure.

That's a tip for you when I'm gone. Besides, masters generally mishandle affairs of this sort. I rather fancy I'll put it to Aspinall when he pulls through." "Do. One thing, though, is pretty certain. He'll never get his cap as long as I'm captain of the footer eleven. I'd rather come out of it myself." "Of course. I see there's no help for that, but, all the same, it will make complications.

"Well, I'll go along with you, if you don't mind." "Thanks. I'd be only too glad of company." "Goin' to walk, Mrs Aspinall?" asked Bill, as the tram stopped in their way. "Yes. I can't afford trams now times are too hard." "Sorry I don't happen to have no tickets on me!" "Oh, don't mention it. I'm well used to walking. I'd rather walk than ride." They waited till the tram passed.

I don't stand a ghost of a chance against Mivart." "And I'll get Mivart to second you. I can put all the fellows straight concerning you, and, by Jove, it's the least I can do! I'll make a clean breast of it to them all to-night before the election comes on." "Oh no, you won't! I'd rather lose the captaincy than that. Besides, Aspinall asked me not to do anything bar refuse you your cap."

"Some people" said Bill, reflectively, but with a tinge of indignation in his tone, as they crossed the street "some people can afford to ride in trams. "What's your trouble, Mrs Aspinall if it's a fair thing to ask?" said Bill, as they turned the corner.

Will you promise, Mrs Aspinall?" "I'm afraid I I'd like to keep my few things now. I've kept them so long. It's hard to lose my few bits of things I wouldn't care so much if I could keep the ironin' table." "So you could, by law it's necessary to your living, but it would cost more'n the table. Now, don't be soft, Mrs Aspinall.
