Captain Holt snatched the cards from Parks's hand, read them at a glance, and a dazed, horror-stricken expression crossed his face. Then his eye fell upon Parks knotting the shot-line about his waist. "Take that off! Parks, stay where ye are; don't ye move, I tell ye." As the words dropped from the captain's lips a horrified shout went up from the bystanders.
It was with a lively sense of relief, therefore, that I heard Parks's voice answer my call on the 'phone. "This is Mr. Lester," I said. "Is everything all right?" "Everything serene, sir," he answered. "It would take a mighty smooth burglar to get in here now, sir." "How is that?" I asked. "Reporters are camped all around the house, sir.
"My only comfort," she said to Meg, with tears in her eyes, "is that Mother doesn't take tucks in my dresses whenever I'm naughty, as Maria Parks's mother does. My dear, it's really dreadful, for sometimes she is so bad her frock is up to her knees, and she can't come to school.

"Why can't I go out as though I were going after something," I suggested. "Then Parks and I could charge around the corner and get him." "You wouldn't get him, he'd get you. You wouldn't have a chance on earth. If there is a window upstairs over that one, you might drop something out on him, or borrow Parks's pistol and shoot him " "That would be pretty cowardly, wouldn't it?" I suggested, mildly.
Parks was, by the way, very droll in his remarks about theatrical matters. One day Mr. Daly concluded he would "cut" one of the acts we were rehearsing, and it happened that Parks's part, which was already short, suffered severely. He, of course, said nothing, but a little later he introduced a bit of business which was very funny, but really did not suit the scene. Mr.
