The story of the dead chemist who had abandoned everything, even life itself, in the pursuit of the elusive weed lost nothing from his wide sympathy. And the crude use of the drug by the Indians formed a picture full of colour and romance. Ross absorbed it all, and wonder and interest grew in his mind as he listened to the story of it. At the conclusion he re-lit his forgotten pipe.
"Do as thee thinks best, and God help thee," he said, kindly. "Mayst thee never find thy desire a curse. Fear not, lad I will keep thy counsel." "I knew you would." The subject ceased: my father's manner indicated that he wished it to cease. He re-lit his pipe, and puffed away, silently and sadly.
"Long live the king." "Ah, here's one. What's become of the chair?" Next moment, amid great applause, the gas was re-lit, and the thrilling tragedy proceeded. It went on all right till the ghost enters, and here another calamity occurred. Padger was acting ghost, dressed up in a long sheet, and with flour on his face.
Cynthia too saw him, and ceased to lounge. She quietly re-lit the tea-kettle, and took a roll of knitting from a table near her. Then as the front bell rang through the small house, she threw a scarcely perceptible look at her sister. Would Georgie "show tact," and leave her and Philip alone, or would she insist on her rights and spoil his visit? Georgina made no sign.
After knocking off the chimney-piece five or six articles which appeared to be made of tin from the noise they made in falling, the captain succeeded in getting hold of another pipe and the tinder-box, for in those days flint and steel were the implements generally used in procuring a light. With much trouble he re-lit the pipe. "Now, Ruby, lad, hold it till I tumble in."
After all, who could tell? And she would want to hear of her children. Yes, he must know them better. Some day soon he must begin. Suddenly he remembered that Laura had not yet come home. With a sigh of discomfort he got out of bed and went downstairs, re-lit the gas in the hallway, unfastened the locks and the chain at the door. He came back and was soon asleep.
The other was precipitate, ignominious flight from the sight of the other's voiceless despair. He knew Steve, and well enough he realized what the strong wall the man had set up in defence concealed. But he was held there silent by a force he had no power to deny, so he sat and lit, and re-lit a pipe in which the tobacco was entirely consumed.
And the Indian obeyed without further demur. Steve re-lit his pipe and sucked at it comfortably. Then he spoke with an assurance he could not have displayed earlier. "Say," he exclaimed, without looking up from the fire. "You get the meaning of it? Maybe you don't get the meaning I do." He laughed. It was a curious laugh. It had no mirth. But it was an expression of feelings which required outlet.

Abandoning this scheme as impracticable, and not being able to think of anything else to do he re-lit his pipe and started to read the letter again. Laurette et Cie, Regent Street, London, W., England. January 21st. Dear Ginger, I'm feeling better. As it's three months since I last wrote to you, no doubt you will say to yourself that I would be a poor, weak-minded creature if I wasn't.
