Ariel and Ladew and the Squire were already seated and waiting. "Aren't you going to ride home with us?" she asked, surprised. "No," he explained, not looking at her.
"She missed him," said Squire Buckalew. "I saw him go out half an hour ago. BUT," he added, and, exercising a self-restraint close upon the saintly, did not even glance toward the heap which was Mr. Arp, "I notice she left her flowers!" Ariel was not the only one who climbed the dingy stairs that day and read the pencilled script upon Joe's door: "Will not return until evening. J. Louden."
"En passant," if nothing else, would have revealed to Joe, in this imitation of a better trick, the hand of Eugene.

"Everything to do with it, sir," Mr. Arp retorted. "It's plain as day to anybody with eyes and sense." "Then I wish you'd p'int it out," said Buckalew, "if you've got either." "By the Almighty, Squire" Mr. Arp turned in his chair with sudden heat "if I'd lived as long as you " "You have," interrupted the other, stung. "Twelve years ago!" "If I'd lived as long as you," Mr.
I say: you take a young lady like that, pretty and rich and all cultured up, and it stands to reason that she won't " "No, it don't," exclaimed Buckalew, impatiently. "Nothing of the sort! I tell you " Eskew rose to his feet and pounded the pavement with his stick.
