My wife thanked her, and buried her face in them, as we bade the Trescotts good-night and drove home. "That girl," said Jim, as we spun along the road in the light of the rising moon, "is a crackerjack. Bill thinks the world of her, and she certainly gives him a mother's care!" "She seems nice," said Alice, "and so refined, apparently." "Been well educated," said Jim, "and got a head, besides.

But, say Hamp, Edith Carr was just about the finest woman in the world high-toned and proud and noble, and playing her ideals to win at all kinds of odds. She certainly was a crackerjack."

"The water was running and the flames were leaping," cried Herb, triumphantly. "How's that for a crackerjack joke?" "Awful," said Joe, although he could not help laughing with the others.
"Crackerjack," so called because of his super-excellence in his chosen profession, was, or had been, a burglar and thief; a very ancient and highly placed calling indeed.
