"What in the world is the fellow driving at!" he exclaimed angrily "'My messenger'! 'Explained the entire situation'! The devil! 'Left for Moscow'! Upon my soul, this is maddening!"

The hill was fearfully steep, even the dogs ran with a certain amount of caution, and Stafford wondered whether the rider he couldn't see if it was man or boy would venture down the almost precipitous slope. While he was wondering, the small figure on the horse sent up a cry that rang like the note of a bell and echoed in sweet shrillness down the hill and along the valley.

The wood being nearly all out of the flat now, Ealer rang to 'come ahead' full steam, and the next moment four of the eight boilers exploded with a thunderous crash, and the whole forward third of the boat was hoisted toward the sky!

She clung to him desperately, still holding him back. "I don't know I don't know! But don't go that way! I have a horrible feeling Ah!"

Somewhere in the dusty, indifferent street a bird's note rang out in one wild, delirious ecstasy of untrammeled springtime.

For an instant he leaned heavily against the planking until he had caught his breath.

As may be imagined, I did not awake till very late the next morning, and when I rang my bell Clementine came in, looking very pleased, and holding a copy of the Pastor Fido in her hand.
