Ethel did not expect to gain anything for herself; she knew that George had never had any love for her; but she was determined that he should not fall into Sylvia's hands. He was too fine a man, in many ways, to be thus sacrificed. "But how can Mrs. Marston carry on the farm?" Bland inquired. "I should have said her trustees are doing so," Ethel answered carelessly.

In the evening I sat upon a great log in front of the cabin or a friendly stump, and forgot such things as hammocks and porch-swings. Instead of gazing at street-lamps only a few yards away I was gazing at stars millions of miles away, and, somehow, the soul seemed to gain freedom. And I had luxury, too. I had a room with bath.

The pack has been made to show forth its content by a process of disruption of slicing.

I can't believe it I really can't, old fellow. She could never write to me as she has done, urging patience and secrecy until my return." "Unless, of course, she desired to gain time," I suggested.

Then I remembered that a grizzly don't run his best when he goes up hill on a slant, so on the slant I went. It worked, I reckon, fer though I couldn't say I gained on him much, it was soothin' to observe that he didn't seem to gain on me.

This system was put in commercial operation, but the company, now encouraged, was quite willing to allow Edison to work out his idea of an automatic that would print the message in bold Roman letters instead of in dots and dashes; with consequent gain in speed in delivery of the message after its receipt in the operating-room, it being obviously necessary in the case of any message received in Morse characters to copy it in script before delivery to the recipient.

Those who are ever thinking about themselves fail to do things well enough to hold sustained attention, even if they are able to gain it for a while.
