Alas and alas! she was too late for this. David suddenly pushed his little companion a couple of feet away from him, and to all appearance vanished into the solid ground. Fly, crying bitterly, began to run to meet Flower. Flower held out her arms as the little girl approached. "What is it, Firefly? Tell me, has David confessed?" "Oh, what do you know about it, Flower?
Whether that was the case or not, these two had a kind of quaint, elfish friendship between them, Firefly in her heart of hearts worshipping Polly, and obeying her slightest nod or wish.
The nearest approach to a signal was seen by a corporal of the guard and sentry Number Six an hour after midnight, when, in quick succession, two faint, firefly flashes, unrepeated, were visible afar out due east of the Picacho, and they could have been caused in only two ways somebody experimenting with a mirror and the moonbeams, the moon being then about three hours high and three-quarters full, or else, as they were ruddier than moonshine, somebody taking two quick shots, probably at somebody else.
There were no tears in Helena's eyes as she stepped down from the car vestibule to the tracks only a drawn misery in her face. That was Doc over there, pacing up and down on the platform in the darkness wasn't it weird the way his cigar glowed bright and then went out and then glowed bright again like a gigantic firefly!
Swinging his rifle from his back to his shoulder with incredible rapidity, Ford fired four shots in quick succession. And after each shot, one of the conspirator's horses fell. "So much for Firefly, though I wouldn't take the four for him!" snarled the ranchman. "Now for the men! Oh, no! I'm not going to shoot them," he added, noting the look of horror on Bob's face.

"You'll love Midnight, Dorothy. Come and get acquainted with him. I've a whole pocketful of sugar for him and Firefly."
"All has been so delightful without her." "I'm going to forget that she's here," avowed Jane sturdily. "Come on, Imp. Let's go over to the stable and see Firefly. I promised him an apple and three lumps of sugar yesterday. I must keep my word to him." Rising, Jane held out an inviting hand to Adrienne.

She had kept her contract faithfully: Mackenzie, therefore, or Spencer, must abide by it to the last letter. The third article of the series was already written and in the post.

Even as I gaped a white figure was framed in the doorway, paused a moment on the low stone step, and then came on until it stood beside me.
"Have you forgotten how anxious you were to meet the lady?" "Meet her!" Dusty Moth howled. "I promise you I'd never go out of my way to meet anybody that looked as she does though I might go a long distance to avoid her." Freddie Firefly glanced toward the picture.
