"Before we get to serious planning," the Emperor said, "have you given any thought to the arms you want?" "Arms? No, sir." It was traditional, Corina knew, for a new Ranger to use the arms of one who had died but that tradition had not even occurred to her. "May I make a suggestion, then?" "Of course, Your Majesty." "I think Steve Tarlac's would be appropriate.
"Well, Robin?" "Do you think, Barbara, you would then marry me?" "I never thought of marriage, seeing that I am too young, and, withal, too inexperienced; but there is one thing, Robin " "I knew it," interrupted the Ranger, in one of his sudden bursts of bitterness; "I might easily have known it Beauty and ugliness! Fool! fool! to imagine that a girl could look on me without loathing!
Kuno, the head ranger to the Prince of Bohemia, too old to longer continue in his position, recommends Max, a skilful marksman, who is betrothed to his daughter Agatha, as his successor. The Prince agrees to accept him if he proves himself victor at the forthcoming hunting-match.
He seemed to move without effort, like a beam of light. Tandakora crouched as he moved slowly toward the right. Then his arm suddenly shot back and he hurled his tomahawk with incredible force. The Onondaga threw his head to one side and the glittering blade, flying on, clove a ranger to the chin.
"Come in!" called the head of the Academy in answer to Jack's knock on his door, and the three lads entered. "Ah, Ranger! And Smith and Anderson. Well, what can I do Ha! Fighting, eh!" and the tone that had been a genial one became stern. "Yes, sir," admitted Jack boldly. "I came to tell you all about it, before you heard a garbled report from some one else."
Then, on her return to England, how little chance her antecedents and her son's vicious inherited disposition gave her of resuming the position she would have been entitled to had her exile, and its circumstances, not made the one she had to submit to abnormal! Aunt M'riar and Mrs. Burr were good women, but those who study class-niceties would surely refuse to ranger either with Granny Marrable.
The hose drifted backward along the line, to the Chief Steward of the Household, the Constable of the Tower, Norroy King-at-Arms, the Master of the Wardrobe, the Chancellor Royal of the Duchy of Lancaster, the Third Groom of the Stole, the Head Ranger of Windsor Forest, the Second Gentleman of the Bedchamber, the First Lord of the Buckhounds, accompanied always with that amazed and frightened "See! see!" till they finally reached the hands of the Chief Equerry in Waiting, who gazed a moment, with a pallid face, upon what had caused all this dismay, then hoarsely whispered, "Body of my life, a tag gone from a truss-point! to the Tower with the Head Keeper of the King's Hose!" after which he leaned upon the shoulder of the First Lord of the Buckhounds to regather his vanished strength whilst fresh hose, without any damaged strings to them, were brought.
One way or another, this was his last mission as a Ranger. He'd told Hovan what might happen if he returned to the Empire with a clan and family, but he hadn't really expected to have to leave the only group of friends he'd known. That would be a wrench. Still . . . he remembered the feeling of belonging he'd had at the altar, and Daria's undeniable concern for him.
Although acting in this mission as a representative of the Biological Survey under the latter Department, I bore a circular letter from the Secretary of the Interior, requesting the aid of the superintendents and supervisors of the Forest Reserves. Through them I could always rely upon the services of a competent ranger, who acted as guide.
The girl had ridden half the distance, perhaps, from the canyon gates to the Ranger Station when, above the roar of the mountain stream, her quick ear caught the sound of an automobile, behind her. Looking back, she saw the gleam of the lights, like two great eyes in the darkness. A Company machine, going up to the Head-Work, she thought.
