Jim Humphries, one of the medium-sized boys, suddenly turned as white as a sheet and fell on the planks. One after another of those around him did the same, until a half-dozen were lying there in a heap. "What in the world's the matter?" asked Si, rushing up to them in dismay. "They're pizened, that's what they are," shouted Harry Joslyn. "That guerrilla goin' over there pizened 'em.
And then Miss Joslyn made a fuss about it and she went home, and after that Lucy Berry flared up at me and said she was going to be friends with Alma after this, and she went home. It just spoiled everybody's fun to have them act so silly. Lucy got Frank Morse to bring out all his valentines and hers. I'll never go with her again, whether she goes with Alma or not!"
Twenty minutes ago the white dove had been reposing at a stationer's, with every prospect of remaining there until another Valentine's Day came around. "Please sit down, Miss Joslyn," said Mrs. Driscoll. "Well, just for a minute," replied the young lady, taking the offered chair, "but I wish you would finish your supper." "We had, really," replied Mrs.
"What's all that shootin' about?" he demanded of Harry Joslyn. "I didn't mean it, sir," Harry explained. "I was just aiming my gun at things I see along the road just trying the sights like. A turkey-buzzard lighted on a stump out there, and I guess I must have forgot myself and cocked my gun, for it went off.
When her case was transferred to the United States Circuit Court in Canandaigua, to be heard a month later, she immediately descended upon Ontario County with her speech, "Is It a Crime for a Citizen of the United States to Vote?" and Matilda Joslyn Gage joined her, speaking on "The United States on Trial, Not Susan B. Anthony."
"Thank you for telling me this, Mrs. Joslyn," he said as with his chum he prepared to take his departure; "it relieves my mind in several ways. And please don't whisper my secret to any one. I still hope to be able to get that paper from Dock sooner or later, if he doesn't come to terms with Amasa Culpepper." "I promise you faithfully Carl," the little woman told him.
I got the loveliest valentines in the evening, and Miss Joslyn came to see us, and we had a letter from my father and he has a splendid place to work and and everything!" Ada breathed a little faster at the close of this breathless speech. Alma's eagerness to ascribe even her father's good fortune to the sending of the 'comic' touched her. In her embarrassment she took another determination.
"Yes'm, it's just a lovely world to-day, only only there's one thing, Miss Joslyn." "What is it?" "I think Lucy Berry and Ada Singer have had a quarrel." "Oh, the inseparables? I guess not," the teacher smiled. "Yes'm. The worst is, I think it's about me. Could I go out in the dressing-room to get my handkerchief, and see if they're on their usual window-sill?"
"Who'll be the Jim Humphreys and Gid Mackals this time?" said Monty Scruggs, looking at the tangled mass of tree-tops. "Can you see any path through this abatis, Sergeant?" nervously asked Harry Joslyn. "No, Harry," said Si, kindly and encouragingly. "But we'll find some way to git through. There's probably a path that we kin strike. Stay close by me, and we'll try our best."
"Then I wonder why he didn't show up for orders this morning. The other boy told my mother Dock was sick and couldn't come." Mrs. Joslyn smiled. "Yes, he says that," she observed. "I went over to take back a dish I had borrowed, and he was lying on the lounge, smoking a cigarette.
