"There was three come out. But the light was poor and all. Maybe they did aim to surrender. It's hard to say. But if they did why, some of the Three Bar boys read the signs wrong. Anyway, there won't be any trial." They rode to the sheltered box canyon where Waddles had left the pack train. A little later Bentley's men rode up and five minutes behind them came Carp with the rest.
"Now," continued Mrs Rose, "the matches." Matty placed the box of matches on the chimney-piece. "Very well; now you've got to look round to see that all's right." "Don't you see that the shutters are neither shut nor barred, Matty?"
Y had desired me to leave in his study; and I was surprised to see the front of the box, which I had left open for the spectators, filled up with boards, and having a circular glass in the middle. The eldest boy, who stood by enjoying my surprise, bid me look in, and tell him what I saw. What was my astonishment, when I first looked through this glass 'As large as the life!
Mr. Cupples entered his sitting-room at the hotel. It was the early evening of the day on which the coroner's jury, without leaving the box, had pronounced the expected denunciation of a person or persons unknown.

I wrote you about the box yesterday just as soon as it came, but after I had sent my letter, I went back to it and found that rose point scarf of grandmother's wrapped in tissue paper in the bottom.

I will send you back to-day to your father and mother, and instead of trying to keep you with me one more day, I shall give you this as a token of our love please take it back with you;" and she brought him a beautiful lacquer box tied about with a silken cord and tassels of red silk.
Say to Macumazahn that I, Nombe, remember in the morning what I said in the night and that what seems to be quite lost is ofttimes found again. Wish him good fortune and tell him I am sorry that I had not time to cause his spare garments to be cleansed with water, but that I have been careful to find his little box with the white man's medicines."
