And also simultaneous the outbreak of the class into cachinnations of delight, severely repressed by the perplexed but indignant Miss Spence. "Go on!" she commanded grimly, when she had restored order. "Ma'am?" he gulped, looking wretchedly upon the rosy faces all about him. "Go on with the description of yourself," she said.

The sounds were new to them and the snowy waste was filled with bewilderingly different inflections that ripped back and forth through opposing waves of sound till it seemed that jeering cachinnations rose from a thousand fiends. They read the gleam in Collins' eyes and his disjointed utterances as a sign of hopeless madness, but in reality it was returning sanity.

The Mexican fairly screamed, interlarding his cachinnations with loud "santissimas," and other Spanish exclamations; while even the wounded man under the waggon was unable to restrain himself at the mirth-provoking spectacle. I joined not in the merriment of my companions. I took no share in their mirth.

The only object that excited one spark of William's pity or sympathy, was the poor deluded horse. With these reflections, and an occasional outbreak of reminiscent cachinnations on the part of the junior, the brothers dropt off to sleep, tired with the day's journey and the events of the night.

The giant stooped and wiped his bloody knife upon the clothes of the dead man. The cripple laughed a crackling, hideous laugh. I hope God will never permit me to hear such a laugh again.

The unconcerned manner in which the storks had come to a stand along with the picturesque pose in which they had composed themselves to sleep was even too much for the stoical Karl; who at once echoed the laughter which his brother had inaugurated. Their united cachinnations rang loudly over the lake reverberating in repeated peals from the adjacent cliffs.

"Kiss me some more, darling little boy!" said Lolita. The strange boy squawked, wailed, screamed with laughter, howled the loving petition in a dozen keys of mockery, while Hedrick writhed and Lolita clung. Enriched by a new and great experience, the torturer trotted on, leaving viperish cachinnations in his wake. But the martyrdom was at an end.

Every wild syllable was flung back like a shot from the surrounding hills, till the air seemed full of loons, all mingling their crazy cachinnations with the din of the chief performer. The uproar made one shiver. Then Hukweem would cease suddenly, listening intently to the warring echoes.
