Come, buck up, Solomon; we've been sentimental long enough. I'd like to go to a music-hall now or do a skirt-dance. But neither's really possible; certainly not the first, and you'd be shocked at the second. I'm half a mind to shock you, though, only my skirt's not long and wide enough, and I've not enough lace underneath. I'll spare you. Come on!" She seized her hat and put it on.

But presently both Dick and Fred made extra efforts and forged ahead. "It's your race, Fred!" "It's yours, Dick!" But it was neither's race for with a shout both whizzed over the line at the same instant.

It's all right. Al and I are just talkin' about nothin' in particular and all creation in general." Mr. Keeler entered with a paper in his hand. "Sorry to bother you, Cap'n Lote," he said, "but this bill of Colby and Sons for that last lot of hardware ain't accordin' to agreement.
