As Rebecca came out on the broad wooden steps she watched Mrs. Peter Meserve's buggy out of sight, for in front, wrapped in a cotton sheet, lay the previous flag. After a few chattering good-bys and weather prophecies with the other girls, she started on her homeward walk, dropping in at the parsonage to read her verses to the minister. "You've heard the beginning, Mr.
She will vanish at the stile by the wood and we shall be alone; and the shadows will creep out across the fields and the night wind will sweep past moaning. Ghosts! they are always with us and always will be while the sad old world keeps echoing to the sob of long good-bys, while the cruel ships sail away across the great seas, and the cold green earth lies heavy on the hearts of those we loved.
Just then the carriage drove up, and after a few good-bys and parting words Ernest Hamilton's children were gone, and he was left alone. "Why didn't I tell her, as I intended to?" thought he. "Is it because I fear her fear my own child? No, it cannot be and yet there is that in her eye which sometimes makes me quail, and which, if necessary, would keep at bay a dozen stepmothers.
Wayne made rapid good-bys, a trifle more lingering in the case of Miss Erskine than the others, and with that prophetic sentence still ringing in his ears he departed. And the four girls were actually en route for Chautauqua. It is a queer thought, not to say a startling one, what very trifles about us are constantly giving object lessons on our characters.
Soon the girls presented themselves in readiness for outdoors, and, in a pleasant gust of good-bys and parting jests, the party broke up. "Good-by for fifty years," Jessie called after them from the stoop, as the merry couples walked away in the moonlight. The following week was one of numerous consultations among the girls.
With sharp commands officers were speeding the parting guests; the parting guests were shouting passionate good-bys and sending messages to Aunt Maria; quartermasters howled hoarse warnings, donkey-engines panted under the weight of belated luggage, fall and tackle groaned and strained. And the ship's siren, enraged at the delay, protested in one long-drawn-out, inarticulate shriek.
The gang that saw the proceedin's said the good-bys wan't affectin'. Colton didn't shed any tears and young Carver seemed to be pretty down at the mouth."

"And there were not?" "Nothin' to amount to much.
They said their simple good-bys, shaking hands over a pile of stores. "I've only got one decent place to keep things safe," Ezra confided, "and that ain't so all-fired decent, either. When I get any papers that are extra precious, I always stick 'em down the leg of these high old boots, between the sock and the leather. But it's too much work to take the boot off now, so you keep the letter."
Tip Pulsifer is always red about the eyes, and no way was left her to show her emotion but to toss her apron convulsively over her face and swing Cevery wildly to and fro, so that the infant's cries arose above the chorus of "good-bys" as we drove away. "Farewell, comrade." We heard Aaron Kallaberger's stentorian tones as we clattered around the bend. "Head up eyes front for'a'd!"
"I will not say it, Phyllis, and I will not hear you say it. Three months ago you told me that you loved me." "And I fancied that I did, but now " "Ah! you think that you have the power to cease loving at a moment's notice? You will find out your mistake, my child. In love there are no good-bys.
