"Say, Mr. Bangs," he whispered, "if you was a sperit would you leave a comf'table berth up aloft to come and anchor alongside THAT noise?" The "noise" became more enthusiastic as the musician warmed to her work. Miss Hoag stirred uneasily in her chair. Captain Jethro bent toward her.
Show begins immediately. Y-e-a-o-u! Y-e-a-o-u!" Within the Palace of Freaks, her platform elevated and railed in against the unduly curious, Miss Luella Hoag, all that she was so raucously purported to be, sat back in her chair, as much in the attitude of relaxing as her proportions would permit.
Instinctively he sought a stout stick to help him; then remembered how Hoag had managed with one leg and two crutches. "Ho!" he exclaimed. "That is the answer this is the 'way." Now his attention was fixed on all the possible crutches. The trees seemed full of them, but all at impossible heights. It was long before he found one that he could cut with his knife.
Pulcifer," he said, "I appreciate your kindness in ah considering me in this matter. I it is impossible for me to accept your offer, of course, but but " "Now, hold on, Perfessor.

Doctor, it's too late! It's all over, Doctor Doctor it's all over!" Trembling in a frenzy of haste, Miss Hoag drew back the door, the room behind her flickering with shadows from an uneven wick.
Thus, when only two months old, Ida was adopted by Miss Howe, whom she always calls "my mother," and of whom she says, "There is no one like her in the world." The same year that little Ida was born, Miss Howe and Miss Hoag had succeeded in starting a school for girls in Kiukiang, the first girls' school in that part of China. In this school, as soon as she was old enough, Ida began to study.

And the stranger slouched away. "Who vas he?" asked Hendrik. "I only know that his name is Jack Hoag; he's a little bit of a trapper and a big bit of a bum; stuck me last year.
"No reason why you should beg my pardon. I don't blame you for thinkin' so. It's natural." "Yes yes, of course, of course. But I don't know that I quite comprehend. Of what were you speaking, Captain Hallett?" The captain explained. "Of course you think it's queer that I haven't said a word about what Julia told us," he went on. "Eh? Don't you?" "What ah what Miss Hoag said, you mean?"
