'Don't be an ass, said Pringle, with a laugh which should have been careless, but was in reality merely feeble. 'She's quite a kid. Miss Mabel Lorimer's exact age was fifteen. She had brown hair, blue eyes, and a smile which disclosed to view a dimple. There are worse things than a dimple. Distinctly so, indeed.

This is one of the meanings of the companionship of the wolf and the lamb, the leopard and the kid, and the lion and the calf. By this is meant that all nations and kindreds will be gathered together under the shadow of this Divine Banner, which is no other than the Lordly Branch itself, and will become a single nation.

Women are wonderful, by George they are! She had that kid dressed and looking fit for anything in about eight minutes. I showered wealth on her, and she promised to come in morning and evening. I sat down to breakfast almost cheerful again. It was the first bit of silver lining there had been to the cloud up to date.

"I say, how old is it?" "A year and a month old, or a little over." Jimmy's face expressed satire. "A year and a month!" he repeated. "Is that all? Then it can't be much good yet, can it?" "It can't box or do exercise as you can. You are getting broad." "Rather! Box? I should think not! A kid of a year old boxing! I should like to see it with Jenkins." He begin to giggle.

"Johnny-boy," she said at last, "what is it that comes like a fog between you and me?" MacRae did not answer. "I make love to you quite openly," Betty went on. "And I don't seem to be the least bit ashamed of doing so. I'm not a silly kid. I'm nearly as old as you are, and I know quite well what I want which happens to be you. I love you, Silent John. The man is supposed to be the pursuer.

There was but one thing to be done. Reluctant as they might be to abandon their fallen leader, it must be done. Already they were suffering grievously from John, the black-jack, and the lightning blows of the Kid. For a moment they hung, wavering, then stampeded in half-a-dozen different directions, melting into the night whence they had come.

"Then I remembered a trick of my own people in Sonora, and I took the blind pups of a dog, living far from here, and placed each of them with a she-goat having one newborn kid; and while the kid was sucking at one teat the mother could not help but let down milk for the puppy at the other, until at last when the dog smell had left him she adopted him for her own.
