"The men ought to learn to carry their knapsacks," said Thurstane. "They will have to do it in serious service." "It is drue, Leftenant," replied Weber, saluting again and moving off without a sign of disappointment. "Let that man come back here," called Aunt Maria, who had overheard the dialogue. "Certainly they can put their loads in the wagons. I told Mr. Coronado to tell them so."
We showed the leftenant that we was onto his game; I give him a scowl now and then, as it fell convenient, that said 'Beware! We, that is the parson and me, made up our minds to watch close, and, at the first sign that was dead sure, we'd fall onto him like a couple of mountains." "And why didn't you?" "He fooled us as he did you.
"Berfectly, Leftenant." "Forty rounds apiece!" "They are issued, Leftenant." "If you are attacked, fire heavily; and if the attack is sharp, retreat to the bluff. Never mind the wagons; they can be recovered." "I will opey your instructions, Leftenant."
"I say," observed his friend the "leftenant", who was looking through a telescope, "if that's not Ruby Brand I'll eat my hat without sauce!" "You don't mean let me see," cried the captain, snatching the glass out of his friend's hand, and applying it to his eye. "I do believe! yes! it is Ruby, or his ghost!"
"Say that you forgive me," pleaded the officer, catching her hands. "Yes, yes, anything; only go!" besought Janice, as a second laugh from the dining-room warned her anew of the peril. Jack stooped and kissed each hand in turn, but even as he did so one of the officers in the next room bawled: "Here 's a toast to Leftenant Hennion and his bride, hip, hip, hip, bumpers!"
"The Quebec of the English and French," said Tayoga, "but the lost Stadacona of the Mohawks, lost to them forever. Whatever the issue of the war the Mohawks will not regain their own." The others were silent, not knowing what to say. A little later a tall, lank youth to whom Charteris gave a warm welcome met them. "Been taking a look at the town, Leftenant?" he said.
And sure enough the braves made as if they would folly, but the leftenant throws the reins of her horse over the horn of his saddle, and whips out his revolver and houlds 'em back till I've got well away to the trail again. And then they let fly their arrows, and begorra the next thing a BULLET whizzes by him.
Leaving Kingston May 5th, 1915, we sailed from Montreal the following morning on the Metagama, a splendid ship of about twelve thousand tons. We had as company on board, several hospital units, including about one hundred and fifty Nursing Sisters, all togged up in their natty blue uniforms and wearing the two stars of First "Leftenant," which rank they hold. And, believe me, they deserve it, too.
"I jumped clean over the fire, dropped the pan, and let out a deaf and dumb holler, 'Ee! Ah! "The men began to laugh; it seemed to rile the little leftenant. "'Cut this out, says he. 'You can talk as well as I can, and you're a going to tell us about this Injun killin'. Don't try any fake business, or I'll roast your little heels over that fire like yams.
"Hebens, golly! didn't I hear her tell Missis so?" "Her mother? And what did she say?" "Oh! she and Missis Helen kinder laughed, and showed all dar white teef, and dey didn't try to persuade her to go, 'cause dey knowed dar wan't no use ob tryin' to do nuffin' like dat. She lubs the Leftenant altogeder too much. Yah! yah!" and Cato kicked up his heels, hugely delighted.
