"Thank you, Gordon," replied Shuffles. "Please enroll me also as a seaman," added Haven, good-naturedly. "And me also," laughed Paul.

"By all means," added Foster, the third. "With all my heart," followed Prescott, the fourth.
"Mostly he's set around the store and talked. Oh, he helps with the mail, cooks a little when I'm too rushed and ain't got any hired girl, and washes dishes. That's always been the one useful thing he could do, wash dishes. I expect that's why everybody at the Mills calls him Mr. Sallie Leavitt. There! It's out. I don't know as I ever said that aloud before in my life. I've been too much ashamed.
Leavitt's chestnut-tinted hair that she had piled up in slick coils under the bonnet, and a third was runnin' a tape over her skillful. If it had been anybody but Mrs. Sallie Leavitt, I'd have hated to take chances on havin' to write the check when it was all over. "Well, is she coming?" asks Sadie that night. "Search me," says I. "I wouldn't bet a nickel either way." That was Wednesday.
We are going about in the southern part of the State and shall visit some towns in Massachusetts, the professor says. You know I've never been round any and I shall like traveling and seeing new places. Professor Henderson is very kind and I think I shall like him.

"Well!" gasps Sadie. "I thought you said they were a pair of countrified freaks!" "You should have seen 'em when they landed with the pies," says I. And, if you'll believe me, Mr.

If she appeared again her place would be filled unless she had a strong enough "pull" to keep it open. She listened and said nothing; had no opinion when asked what she thought. But not a soul pitied Miss Leavitt.
It was like the far-off murmur of a gigantic caldron, softly a-boil a dull vibration that seemed to reach us through the ground as well as through the air. The girl listened a moment, and then started up. "I hear voices somewhere." "Voices?" I strained my ears for sounds other than the insistent ferment of the great cone above our heads.
