The bird-protection publications of the Board are of great economic value, and they are also an everlasting credit to the state. The very latest is a truly great wild-life-protection volume of 607 pages, by Mr. Forbush, entitled "Game Birds, Wild-Fowl and Shore Birds."
Pitkin, trusting to the distance between them, did not apprehend any danger from this source. Had she known Rebecca Forbush was even now in New York, a widow with one child, struggling to make a living by sewing and taking lodgers, she would have felt less tranquil.
"And never came near us. This is, indeed, unkind. In what way have we offended you?" and Mrs. Pitkin put her handkerchief to her eyes. There were no tears in them, but she was making an attempt to touch the heart of her uncle. "Are you aware that Rebecca Forbush is in the city?" asked the old gentleman abruptly.

Philip explained the circumstances already known to the reader. "Mr. Carter seems to me to be a kind-hearted man," he said.

The bullet almost grazes General Merritt's cheek! Down in front there was lively work for a few minutes, as Buffalo Bill's little command charged in. The Cheyennes scattered, astonished; they turned for their main body. "Look!" Lieutenant Forbush cried. "Look to the ridge!"
