The principal tiptoed noiselessly around the end of the fence. John sparred for an opening and his opponent spied the approaching figure. "Jiggers! Old man Downer!" he yelled. "Beat it quick!"

Eliphalet Downer, Surgeon, taken in the Yankee privateer, testifies that after he was made prisoner by Captains Ross and Hodge, who took advantage of the generous conduct of Captain Johnson of the Yankee to them his prisoners, and of the confidence he placed in them in consequence of that conduct and their assurances; he and his countrymen were closely confined, yet assured that on their arrival in port they should be set at liberty, and these assurances were repeated in the most solemn manner, instead of which they were, on their approach to land, in the hot weather of August, shut up in a small cabin; the windows of which were spiked down and no air admitted, insomuch that they were all in danger of suffocation from the excessive heat.
Four cases this morning, and two yesterday, ranging all the way from mumps to smallpox. Downer, the school ought to be closed and thoroughly disinfected." "Doesn't it strike you as peculiar that the cases are confined to one room, Ten, and that boys are the only victims?" "Did you ever hear of a germ carrier.

"She played way over her head," he answered sullenly to the praise his family bestowed upon her. One more set put them in the final match against Jim Downer and his sister Helen. A taste of victory had given to Keineth a poise that steadied her in her game; this matching of strength, skill and quickness something she had never known before had developed a surprising confidence in herself.
