"I am glad that I could be of help," she replied, wondering the while what she could say. "And of course I am to be congratulated " "Your trial is hardly a thing for congratulation," she spoke up quickly, looking him straight in the eyes for the moment. "I am glad that it came out as it did, but surely you cannot expect me to congratulate you." "O-o-o," with long-drawn inflection.

Nan Sherwood and her friends piled off the first sled upon the ice with great delight and much hilarity. "I declare!" gasped Laura. "I left my breath at the top of the hill. O-o-o! What a ride!" "It's ju-just like swinging too high!" burst out flaxen-haired Lillie. Nan and Bess had brought their skates slung over their shoulders by the straps.

Now a crowd of children, seated in a boat, rowed toward the middle of the river to rock there on the waves as in a cradle. Trees stood out above the water; sometimes many of them are drowned in the overflow of the banks, and these stand in the water like islands. From the shore a melancholy song is heard: "Oh, o-o-o, once more!" The steamer passes many rafts, splashing them with waves.

She's a Lacey to the backbone." John groaned. "Then the last hope has fled. I thought that perhaps the ingratiating Trent characteristics might come to the rescue, but now, expect to see me return bald and disfigured."

"O-o-o! but you must tell me who it is first." "Mr. Cassidy," he replied, flushing at the 'mister, "an' I wants to see Carmencita." "Carmencita who?" teasingly came from behind the door. Hopalong scratched his head. "Gee, yu've roped me I suppose she has got another handle. Oh, yu know she used to live here about seven years back.

And as for that old lady over there by that cart, crying so softly say! somebody who can parley this language go over there and tell that old lady not to cry any more. Tell her we'll fix it up, toot sweet. O-o-o! La, la! Pipe the pretty mademoiselle over there driving that dogcart. Ain't she the pippin though! Say "Fall in! Fall in!... Com-pan-ee, At-ten-shun! Forward, March!"

Someone crossed the deck and went up to the side of the steamer. "O-o-o," was heard again, but nearer this time. "Yefim!" some one called in a low voice on the deck. "Yefimka!" "Well?" "Devil! Get up! Take the boat-hook." "O-o-o," someone moaned near by, and Foma, shuddering, stepped back from the window.

It was just one o'clock. At once they found a tea-shop, and had lunch; and then Toby sprang upon her a proposal that they should go to Richmond for the afternoon, and to Brighton the following day. He appeared to have plenty of money for both jaunts. He had planned them as soon as he knew the date of his arrival. "O-o-o!" cried Sally. "Brighton! The sea! Will you take me out in a boat?
