"Besides, my father says not to lay up treasure for roth and must to corrupt!" put in Nan, coming to the surface. At this, they all shouted, much to Nan's discomfiture. For awhile the banker looked out on the showery landscape, then he turned to the children's mother. "Perhaps you are right, Mrs. Rayburn," he said gently. "The world is all too selfish;" and he sighed as he said it.
"It won't do for us both together t' go down there," Young said, as he rose from his seat and we peered into the dark cavity. "Mullins might take 't into his fool head t' shut himself up while we was down there, an' that ud mean cold weather for Rayburn an' Pablo.
As it is, there's just a dull glow from my corner, quite pale and ugly compared with the brilliant gleams the others are sending out." Said Professor Rayburn, "Ah, Prudence, the faint, sweet mellow glows are always beautiful. Not sparkling, perhaps, not brilliant! But comforting, and cheering, and always to be trusted. It's just these little corner-glows, like yours, that make life worth living."
An' then, if there's any way out o' this d n valley, we'll load up with dollars an' pull out for home." For my own part, I was not disposed to be either so doubtful as Rayburn or so sanguine as Young.
You've done it, Fiddle, you've done it!" But he was not prepared for the way his sister took the good news. She sat looking solemnly at him for a minute; then she jumped up, turned toward Captain Rayburn with a face on fire with conflicting and uncontrollable emotions, then whirled about and was out of the room like a flash.
John Rayburn honourably discharged from active service in the United States Army on account of permanent disability from injuries received in the Philippines, "two cripples should be able to keep a household properly stirred up. I've been here five days now, and my soul longs for some frivolity."
It was a characteristic of the Birch family, as a whole, which, it may be said, was worth more both to themselves and to the world at large than the possession of almost any other trait. It was not until dinner was over that Captain Rayburn and his nephew returned, begging pardon for their tardiness, and explaining that they had taken luncheon in the city.
"Oh, no, no, Mark dear; don't, pray don't you get hurt," whispered the girl wildly. "He won't get hurt much," said Master Rayburn. "Come to stay?" "No," said Mark, as he made the old man's eyes twinkle by going on tip-toe to the bedside, and gently taking Ralph's right hand which he held for a few moments, and then laid it back. "Needn't put it down in such a hurry, boy," whispered the old man.
"Is is my face much scratched?" "Hardly at all," said Ralph. "Then thank you so for stopping him; I was so frightened. Ah, look! there's Master Rayburn." She clapped her hands with delight, as she caught sight of the old man, hatless, and with his white hair flying, running down the path. Then turning, back to Ralph, she said, naively: "Please, who are you? Oh, I know now.
Now Dummy, let go the rein." "Come on!" growled the lad, leading the frisky little animal, and Master Rayburn chuckled a little, for the boy bent his head, rounded his shoulders, and paid not the slightest heed to the order he had received. "Do you hear, Dummy? Let go." Dummy let go of the rein by passing his arm through, and thrust his hand into his pocket.
