Then, over the uproar, could be heard the orders of the new captain. "Form your companies!" the shouts of the sergeants: "Fall in, men, fall in!" And then the demand: "March us back, Hefty! Take command once more!" "Start 'em back, Harris, for God's sake! I can never straighten 'em out," cried his half-laughing, half-sobbing successor, his first sergeant of the year gone by.
In contrast to Evelyn's half-screamed denunciation Emma's voice was low and even, but it vibrated with stern command. "I she " began Evelyn, but the look in Emma's eyes was too much for her. With a half-sobbing cry of anger she rushed from the room. "Delightful young person," commented Emma dryly, as the resounding slam of the door echoed through the room.
However, this irregular tone charms the Swiss, and is one of the peculiarities of their "Ranz des Vaches:" But it is in the national music of the Celtic race that we find the most familiar examples of melody symbolizing character. The purest form of it is undoubtedly the Irish; and who will not bear witness that in its half-laughing and half-sobbing notes we hear the voice of the race?
The trembling victim, anticipating such punishment, used to be sent to summon the porter. He frequently returned with a half-sobbing message, "Please, sir, he says he's not in." The fiction did not lead to escape. Cromar was the name of the chief executioner in these scenes.
"Why you'd have to hire a man 'specially to take care of 'm." The other suspicion was allayed. He nodded cheerfully. In the silence that followed, the low, half-sobbing whine was heard at the door and then the long, questing sniff. "There's no denyin' he thinks a hell of a lot of you," Matt said. The other glared at him in sudden wrath. "Damn it all, man! I know my own mind and what's best!"

He closed his eyes no longer afraid. A great sigh heaved out of his body. He wanted to put out his tongue and lick the slim white hands that were bringing him peace and comfort.

She lay passive in his arms for one brief minute and then feebly drew back. "Sweetheart," he cried. "Sweetheart! For I will call you sweetheart, though we never meet again. You are mine, Alice. We cannot help ourselves." The girl stood as in a trance, her eyes caught and held by his face. "Oh, the misery of things," she said half-sobbing.
This brought Lawrence back to himself. He knew that Edestone meant every word he said and, jumping to his feet, he threw his arms around his friend's neck. "Bo!" he exclaimed, half-laughing, half-sobbing, "you are a king among men!" little dreaming of the amount of truth there was in what he said.
