"I see," he said, "my first suspicions of you were right, and that you will let your sister, innocent, fair, and guiltless, except in trusting a villain, die the death of a murderess, rather than bestow the breath of your mouth and the sound of your voice to save her."
There you may live with your little brother, as free as heart can desire. To-morrow you will go with Gorgo to the temple of the goddess . . ." But Agne broke in on his speech: "No, I will not go with her!" Her cheeks were scarlet and her breath came short and fast with excitement as she went on: "I will not, I must not, I cannot!
Tara's feminine intuition leaped at a solution. "I 'spec it's just to show off they are Princesses and to keep the Knights from bothering round. So away he went and the Princess climbed up to her highest tower and waved her lily hand " In the same breath she, Tara, sprang to her feet and swung herself astride a downward sweeping branch just above Roy's head.

Osborn did not know why he found himself so sick, and so soon, of what, to the woman at his side, was the breath of her life; he was vexed and disappointed that to him the day was so stupid and so savourless.

"But it must be put in to-day, and he had other things to do." "And then you were at your flowers?"
"Not while I've breath left in my body!" Tom blazed forth desperately. "Come, Harry!" Hazelton sprang to his chum's side, the two fighting desperately to drive away the men who held Frank Danes captive. "Wait a few hours at least, men!" Tom appealed earnestly. "Don't do anything now that you'll be sorry for to-morrow." Other men of calm judgment began to see the force of Reade's remarks.

There were but seven papers left, and the candidate who secured four of them would be the winner of the election. "Twenty-three for Therne, twenty-four, twenty-five" a silence in which you could hear the breath of other men and the beating of your own heart. "Twenty-six for Therne, twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine, all for Therne."
