Even as he spoke, a deeper roar than ever penetrated the study. "A Reprieve! Hooray! Hooray!" The whole street seemed to rock with earthquake and the names of Grodman and Mortlake to be thrown up in a fiery jet. "A Reprieve! A Reprieve!" And then the very windows rattled with cheers for the Minister. And even above that roar rose the shrill voices of the newsboys, "Reprieve of Mortlake!
The two went down together on the seven yards, the blue-stockinged youth vainly striving to squirm nearer to the line, Decker holding for all he was worth. Then the Hillton left end sat down suddenly on the runner's head and the whistle blew. The grand stand was in an uproar, and cheers for Hillton filled the air.

That's my ijee, boys, an' it'll give me great joy if so be ye take me up!" They looked at each other for a minute, speechless with astonishment. Then being real boys they found their voices with a rush. No need now for Tom Butts or Joe Clausin to suggest three cheers.

I think of it with a sober certainty of waking bliss! our little 'hub' is a grand 'hub. Three cheers for it!...
