He'll be scairt shtiff an' white as a biled shirt, or he'll melt down an' dhribble out t'rough a crack av th' flure." And so, a half-hour later, Bill Carmody for the second time pushed open Hod Burrage's door and made his way to the stove. The scene in no wise differed from the time of his previous visit.
I could see, in nearer prospect, the rows of little desks and the reporters at them, some writing, some reading, some smoking wearily; some young men fresh from college and keyed high with ambition; some old men shabbily dressed and carelessly groomed who had spent their lives at those little desks and asked nothing more than the privilege of ending them there; some of more corpulent minds, like the great Bob Carmody, who were happy in the attainment of a life's ambition to become authorities on base-ball, foot-ball, or rowing.
To think that a man should dare to call me his "dear Angelina!" And to think that I shouldn't mind! "Where I go, William Adolphus goes," I said, "but I shall give away the other five cats for for the sake of Mr. Riley." IX. Pa Sloane's Purchase "I guess the molasses is getting low, ain't it?" said Pa Sloane insinuatingly. "S'pose I'd better drive up to Carmody this afternoon and get some more."
He paused for breath, with guard uplifted, and in that moment Bill Carmody saw for the first time the figure of his wife. For an instant their eyes met, and then Moncrossen was at him again. But Bill's low, taunting voice did not waver. "That's better," he said, and moved his head to one side as a vicious blow passed close.
"Stephen dear, what could they do crude children that they are, beside a boy with his advantages? What could they do for him? Make him play football? What did you expect them to do?" "I don't know," he said, moodily, "but at any rate they haven't done it." Jimsy King was going by the grace of his own frantic eleventh hour efforts and his teachers' clemency and Honor Carmody to graduate.
John Carmody, who had remained with the defending party, snatched up one of the rifles. Standing, he rushed in a magazine full of bullets, then bent to help himself to more from the belt of the rifle's former carrier. Fitting his revolver with a fresh load of cartridges, Dave held his fire for any emergency that might arise. A marine dashed up, nearly out of breath.
With a heart full of joy and gratitude Dave hastened back to his quarters, where he laid aside his sword and gloves. Just outside the ward-room door he encountered John Carmody, who appeared to have been waiting there purposely. "Now, Mr.
With only one-half of his journey behind him and the chill night-wind whipping through the unchinked crevices of the deserted shack; with the prospect of an unsavory supper of soggy sock-eye and a lump of frozen bread, Bill Carmody fervently wished himself elsewhere. His mind lingered upon the long row of squat, fat-footed shoe-packs which the old man had indicated with his gnarled crutch.
Even when I had attained to the munificent salary of Mr. Carmody, a figure which Boller had announced to me with so much awe, I was still far from having an income to keep two in the simplest comfort. It was difficult to make this clear to Gladys Todd. Her father and mother had married on eight hundred dollars a year, and even now my salary equalled the doctor's as president of the college.
"This must be Link Merwell's work!" cried Dave. "Perhaps he met Blower " "And impersonated Roger," finished Phil. "Would he do that?" questioned the senator's son. "Would he dare?"
