"Can you make out the hut, Tom?" asked Ned, as he stood at his chum's side in the steering tower, and gazed downward on the silent village. "Not very clearly. Suppose you take a look through the night-glasses. Maybe you'll have better luck." Ned peered long and earnestly. "No, I can't see a thing." he said. "It all looks to be a confused jumble of huts. I can't tell one from the other.
She wished she had not been so ready to doubt her chum's loyalty and with a curious revulsion of feeling she began to long for a reinstatement into her affections. But her perfunctory "good night" had cost her more than she dreamed. It had awakened a tardy resentment in Marjorie's hitherto forgiving heart that she could not readily efface. Outwardly Marjorie seemed the same.
Then I watched him go on what I knew was a similar errand to Smith, but, as I expected, his reception in that quarter was not quite so flattering as it had been in my case. I could see my chum's eyes fire up as he saw the elder boy approach, and a flush come over his pale cheeks.
Turning from his companions while they conversed, he looked into a shop-window. "Your chum's in the blues," said the lively corporal, in a lower voice. "Young fellows are often in that state after joining, ain't they?" returned Armstrong. "True for ye an' more shame to them, whin they ought to be as proud as paycocks at wearin' her gracious Majesty's uniform. But good luck to 'ee!
It's Doosie Caukins has begged the loan of the two little gells for the afternoon. The twins seem to me most like my own rale downright swate gells, an' it's hopin' I am they'll do well when it' comes to their marryin'." Aileen laughed merrily at the matrimonial persistence of her old chum's thoughts. "Oh, Maggie, you are an incorrigible matchmaker!"
"Maybe we'll get them soon," said Frank. "Yes; and maybe we won't." "Then we'll just have to sit tight." "That's what worries me." There was a knock at the door. "Come in," Frank called. A bell boy entered with a second cablegram. Jack tore it open hastily. "Hurray!" he cried. "What's up?" demanded Frank. He arose and peered over his chum's shoulder.
Mary Raymond viewed Marjorie with a faint frown. It was rather provoking in Marjorie to express so much concern over this Constance Stevens. After their long separation she felt that her chum's every thought ought to be for her alone.
It was only because they thought that I might be upset on hearing of the mystery that they didn't want me to go. But I'm over that now." "Bravely over it," murmured Betty, as she put her arms about her chum's shoulders. The examinations were on, and boys and girls were working hard, for, because of the need of some repairs to the school, it had been decided to cut the summer term short.
"I seem to have overcome a good bit of the law of gravitation. Never felt so light in my heels in all my life before." "What can it mean?" whispered Mark in his chum's ear. "It's magic!" "You've got me," admitted Jack. "I'm not trying to explain it. But I know that the air pressure on me isn't as great as it was. I feel like we did when we were on the moon."
Hazelton began to share his chum's suspicion as to the utter breakdown of his nerves and powers of vision. "It was nothing, of course," said Harry, shamefacedly, but Tom vigorously took the other side of the question. "See here, Harry, it must have been something," insisted Reade. "You're not dreaming, and you're not crazy.
