"But I'm not buying any tables to-day, I'm on another lead that is, if I've got it right and your name is Kling." "Yes, you got it right," answered Otto; "dot's my name. Vat is it you vant?" "And you own this store?" "And I own dis store. Didn't you see de sign ven you come in?" The man's manner and cock-sure air were beginning to nettle him.

"That's a queer business," said Swan, when he had finished. "How so?" "Man alive, haven't you read what you've signed your name to?" "Certainly I've read it." "And you think you can put the job through in a year?" "Why not?" asked Pilchard, with his "cock-sure" smile.

"There can't be much choice in cocoons. Most of them look alike, except that some are bigger than others." Josef regarded the boy a moment and then laughed. "Don't be too cock-sure of that!" he retorted ironically.

"Two taverns, a bona fide doctor, a licensed preacher, the only academy, the only meeting-house, the only printing-press, and the only newspaper within the county limits. The Etrurians were so cock-sure of victory that they raised the price of village lots. Yet we presumed to hope. Great emergencies focus on individuals; so with ours. New Babylon found its saviour in Israel Booth."

He soon discovered that his father was too cock-sure and his sister too innocent to guess anything.

"Thankee for nothin'," said Pat; "I doesn't want it." "Doesn't want it!" repeated Bob. "D'ee know that this is the very best book as ever was written?"

"Pat I'll be hard upon you just now if you don't look out!" said Bob seriously.

Patricia watched her disappear behind the big screen of the composition room, and then she turned excitedly to Elinor. "Isn't she nice?" she asked admiringly. "She's so cock-sure of herself and so calm about it. I like the way her eyebrows meet over her haughty nose, and that superior kink in her nice, crinkly lips. I know she's going to be worth while when we know her."

"Well," he grudged, "you did have me goin' for a minute you were so damn' cock-sure and it certainly is pretty slick work for an amateur." "You think I'm an amateur eh?" "I guess I know every map in the Rogues' Gallery as well's the palm of my hand!" "And mine is not among them?" P. Sybarite insisted triumphantly.

And, O monsieur, your pardon if I laugh; for that either you or I are mad is a cock-sure. Dance, madame!" He put the flageolet to his lips and blew. In a moment or two harlequin and columbine appeared on the screen, and began to caper nimbly, naturally, with the airiest graces. The tune was a jigging reel, and soon began to inspire the performer above.

"Don't suppose, little brother, that you have won; for the rule is that whoever seizes the banner first, he is the Whitsun King, and you see it is in my hand." "Indeed!" said the youth, serenely; "I did not know that. I'll take care to remember that at the second race." "Really, now," cried Martin.
