Then Carlo, with gestures that always frightened Patrick, made the air resound with Italian refrains, to which almost always succeeded the Irish ballads of the Gordons. But when it happened that the flatboat made an early stop to let our men rest, the programme was changed. Celeste and Maggie went ashore to cook the two suppers there. Their children gathered wood and lighted the fires.

They are up for trial on their soundness and worth; he must uncover their merits and defects, and pass judgment on their general value. If he is hasty and careless, he suffers the penalty of bad judgment; and if he refrains from judging at all, he becomes one who "does not know his own mind," a weakling. The necessity of this attitude in the acceptance as well as in the rejection of ideas.

So long as a member refrains from openly attacking the Church and from going over to another confession, he may entirely neglect all religious ordinances and publicly profess scientific theories logically inconsistent with any kind of dogmatic religious belief without the slightest danger of incurring ecclesiastical censure.

Why won't straw hats stay clean? "'Why " "Stop it!" shrieked Jess, covering her ears. "How dare you read such preposterous stuff?" "'Whys to the wise, you know," giggled Bobby. "I vote we refuse to allow Bobby to go camping with the crowd unless she positively refrains from quoting verse on any and every occasion," drawled Nellie.

Alfred, nothing loath, sought Guthrum's tent, where, with stirring songs of the old heroes of their land, he flattered the ears of the chiefs, who applauded him to the echo, and at times broke into wild refrains to his warlike odes. All that passed we cannot say. The story is told by tradition only, and tradition is not to be trusted for details.

Men, like women, have a stock in hand of recitatives, of cantabile, of nocturnes, airs and refrains shall we say of recipes, although we speak of love which each one believes to be exclusively his own. Men who have reached Lousteau's age try to distribute the "movements" of this repertoire through the whole opera of a passion.

So far as man refrains from evils and shuns and turns away from them as sins, good flows in from the Lord. The good that flows in is an affection for knowing and understanding truths, and an affection for willing and doing goods.

"You are naughty to me," she says, with childish audacity. "Very well." He takes a slow step as if to give her time for repentance. He could bestow an undignified shake upon the proud little mite, but he refrains. "Jane, come and look after Miss Cecil," he exclaims, authoritatively.
