"Flo how is she?" burst out Carley. "Aw, Flo's loony over her husband," drawled Charley, his clear eyes on Carley's. "Husband!" she gasped. "Sure. Flo's gone an' went an' done what I swore on." "Who?" whispered Carley, and the query was a terrible blade piercing her heart. "Now who'd you reckon on?" asked Charley, with his slow grin. Carley's lips were mute.
"Don't say anything to me. Just let me be. I've done all kinds of loony things in my life and this attack is just natural, that's all. I I'll get over it in a minute. There!" rising and dabbing at her eyes with her handkerchief, "I'm over it now. Hosy Knowles, I've cried about a million times since since that awful mornin' in Mayberry. You didn't know it, but I have. I'm through now.
"Well, my name's Johnny Spreen, ain't it?" demanded the other, grimly; "I'm workin' out my time with Mister Trotter hyar, ain't I? Then I still got two eyes, and I ain't turned loony yit by a long shot. I tell yuh, Elmer, I handled three skiffs yist'day seen as they was tied securely. And now yuh tells me they be but two." "Yes, that's a fact," the patrol leader assured him.
Mr. John Brown if that's your name, which I doubt you listen to me." "Very well, Mr. Seth Atkins if that is your name, which I neither doubt nor believe, not being particularly interested I'm listening. Proceed."

We're dying to know." Emily shook her head. "I can't tell you," she said. "I promised I wouldn't. It it all came of a talk Imogene and I had a while ago. We were speaking of self-sacrifice and she she adores you, Auntie, and " Thankful interrupted. "Mercy on us!" she cried. "Adores me! Self-sacrifice! She ain't doin' this crazy, loony thing for ME, I hope.
"Oh, don't you think maybe there's a drift the other way among decent business people now? Why, when Marise and I were first trying to get it clear in our own heads, we kept it pretty dark, I tell you, that we weren't in it only for what money we could make, because we knew how loony we'd seem to anybody else.
Whatever ails the feller, d'ye think! Acts like he'd clean gone out of his head, and got loony!" he cried, as with the other boys he came tumbling out from under the rude shelter made of branches. Sure enough Bumpus was in plain sight, for the fire still burned, and there was also a bright moon high up in the heavens.

"What's she been doin'?" demanded Loony, with his cue on the rail. "She 's traveling with a bank sneak named Blanchard or Binhart," explained Blake. "And I want her." Loony Ryan made his stroke.
"Mebby he's had notions about the earth spinnin' 'round like a top, an' they've drove him loony," suggested Spectacle John. "That often happens, they say." But Silas Long was too deeply concerned over the tramp's wickedness to pay any heed to this frivolous remark. The minister was walking ahead, in gloomy silence.
It would be difficult to paint the surprise of the two sisters, and the anger of the soldier, at this unexpected visit. Rushing upon Loony, Dagobert seized him by the collar, and exclaimed: "Who gave you leave to introduce any one here without my permission?" "Pardon, M.
