King, who had been busy in a farther corner with the proprietor of the shop, picking out some small articles that struck his fancy, turned and called Phronsie. She didn't hear him, being too absorbed. And so he laid down the little silver paper-cutter he was looking at, and came over to see what was the matter. "Well, child," he said, looking over her shoulder. "And so you like that, hey?"
With his right hand he snatched up a paper-cutter from the table, curled up his left arm behind him, threw one of his long legs out in front and landed it with a flump! on the floor five feet ahead of his initial stand-point. "Hurray!" cried Jane, shrilly. "What other girls do you know who've got a brother like this?" She snatched up a brass-edged ruler that had lain alongside the paper-cutter.
But little Jane was addressing her master. "Oh! if you please, I did manage to save something the last thing when the boat was at the window, and if you please, sir, all the bundles is lost, but I saved you a papercutter, and a letter Horse Guards, and here they are, sir."

I'll show them to you to-morrow. Those napkin rings were made by a prisoner." "Ah!" cried Frere, taking up the daintily-carved bone, "very neat!" "That is some of Rex's handiwork," said Meekin. "He is very clever at these trifles. He made me a paper-cutter that was really a work of art." "We will go down to the Neck to-morrow or next day, Mrs.

"It was lying there and I picked it up. I don't see any harm in that." "You probably meant none.
Throw a few poor words my way." Cope dropped the paper-cutter. Her address was like a dash of brine in the face, and he welcomed it. "Tell me; did you look absurd then?" she dashed ahead. A return to fresh water, after all! "Why," he rejoined reluctantly, "no man, dressed in all his clothes, looks any the better for being soaked through." "And Amy, she must have looked absolutely ridiculous!
That same morning she had brought a note from her father to Miss Sadler, of the contents of which Janet knew nothing. Miss Sadler retired into her study to read it, and two newspaper clippings fell out of it under the paper-cutter. This was the note: "My DEAR MISS SADLER: "Mrs. Duncan has referred your note to me, and I enclose two clippings which speak for themselves.
"And what will you do now?" sneered Frye, a sinister look entering his yellow eyes, "steal or starve?" "Neither," replied Albert defiantly; "I'll go back to Sandgate and hoe corn first." Then, as a realizing sense of how much he was in the power of this courageous stripling came to Frye, his arrogance all melted, and as he turned and began to play with a paper-cutter he said meekly: "Come, Mr.
Darcy refused to give it up, not only on account of his condition, but because she did not consider that he had any claim to it, knowing that it had been his wife's before their marriage. Larch was insistent in his demands, and tried to take the diamond cross from Mrs. Darcy. She resisted him in the dimly-lighted and deserted store, and he caught up the paper-cutter dagger and threatened her.
Most of the letters, as he had anticipated, were painful reading. And the silver paper-cutter with which he opened the first had been a Christmas present from Mrs. Burlingame, who had penned it, a lady of signal devotion to the church, who for many years had made it her task to supply and arrange the flowers on the altar.
