"I am very sorry I teased you, cousin Tom," she said very softly, as I turned to her to say goodnight. "Your eagerness to go with Mr. Washington pleased me mightily. It is just what I should have done if I were a man. Good-night," and before I could find my tongue, she was again at Mrs. Washington's side.
He fished some notes and silver from his pocket and planked them on the table. "That's your change, gentlemen, if someone would be good enough to count it over. You don't mind, I hope, if I return the margin when I'm in a better position to do so. Goodnight, gentlemen." He rose, nodded to the company and walked to the door. Mr. Torrington did not look in his direction.
She returned immediately with her husband's big automatic pistol and handed it to him. In her left hand she held a smaller one. "Take this with you. It's loaded," she said. Frank thanked her, said goodnight to both calmly, and walked down the garden path; but the anxious women heard him running swiftly across the parade ground. "What is it, Noreen?

Harley and Hobart saw it all, and light began to appear on Hobart's gloomy countenance. "Harley," he said, "I believe that after all my first intuition was correct. We may yet have trouble." Harley was not so sure.
"I did not mean to make her angry, only there are some things of which I cannot speak to any one." "I understand," rejoined Grace, wondering what Ruth's secret cross was. "Good night, Ruth." Elfreda, Miriam and Anne bade Ruth goodnight in turn. "Now, for the tug of war," declared Elfreda as they hurried up the steps of Wayne Hall. "On to the battlefield and down with the Anarchist!"
Hal promised to report back to the Rockport amateur any further developments of interest and tapped "goodnight" with his key. "Well, your two main points have been proved, Mr. Perry," Bud announced as all three boys removed the receivers from their ears. "What are they?" asked the man thus addressed. "Mathematics and geography." Mr. Perry smiled.
