Ate one for supper, OH! how good. In spite of my weakness I was happy to-night. I remember a similar happiness once after I went to New York. I got caught in rain, had no car fare, got soaked, spent last 10 cents for rolls and crullers, then crawled into bed to get dry and eat, not knowing where the next meal would come from. Talk of home.
There were some fireplaces left for him to come down, and he was on hand promptly. And such appetizing smells as lurked in every corner of the house! Fruit cake, crullers and doughnuts, and mince pies! Everybody was busy from morning till night.

Crullers in the craters, Pastry in abris This Salvation Army lass Sure knows how to please! Tin hat for a halo! Ah!
"Say, cut out the fairy tales and get to business. Does anybody know that it is exactly ten minutes to twelve?" "Codfish and crullers! You don't say so!" came from Whopper. "I knew I was getting hollow somewhere. What shall we do -go ashore and cook dinner?" "Might as well," came from Snap. "Our time's our own, remember. We haven't got to hurry."
"Too many crullers for supper," was Giant's comment. "Sometimes they lay like lead in a fellow's stomach and give him all sorts of dreams." "It wasn't the crullers," persisted the doctor's son. "I'm going outside and investigate." And he stepped out in the direction of the camp fire. "Be careful," warned Snap. "If any wild beasts are around you want to be on your guard."
Saul and Sophie emerged from the back entry with shining countenances, but carefully avoided each other for the rest of the evening.
