One night, not long after the return, Scott and Matt sat at a game of cribbage preliminary to going to bed. "Fifteen-two, fifteen-four an' a pair makes six," Mat was pegging up, when there was an outcry and sound of snarling without. They looked at each other as they started to rise to their feet. "The wolf's nailed somebody," Matt said. A wild scream of fear and anguish hastened them.
The animals were superb specimens of their kind, jet black without a white hair upon them, standing about fifteen-two in height, perfectly shaped, with fine, clean, sinewy legs not too long, splendid shoulders and haunches, skins like satin, perfect in temper, courageous as lions, speedy, easy-paced.

I I'll wager he can't do a hundred yards in fifteen-two." "'Fifteen-two' is cribbage," said Miss Blake. "Fifteen and two-fifths seconds is what I mean." "Is that fast?" Fresno smiled, indulgently this time.

I beg your pardon, Miss Mullett; you are right, it is my first count. Fifteen-two, fifteen-four, fifteen-six, and a pair's eight and one's nine. And that puts me out!" "Brute!" said Miss Mullett.
"Fifteen-two, fifteen-four, and a pair is six!" rang out, triumphantly. Tubbs surprised them with refreshments they would have been jolly well surprised if she hadn't surprised them and Father played recent New York musical comedy songs on his new mouth-organ, stopping to explain the point of each, whereupon Mother shook her head and said, warningly, "Now, Father, you be careful what you say.
