"Follow him up! Follow him up!" screamed Coulter. "You've got him going, Reff! Finish him!" Thus encouraged, Ritter leaped in and another blow landed on Jack's ear. He was a bit dazed, but shut his teeth hard and ducked under Ritter's arm. Then both sparred for an opening, circling around the gymnasium floor once more, the crowd of cadets around them growing larger and larger.

"I said I was going to show the fellows, didn't I? He didn't tell me not to. Anyway, Ritter's fire sprawls out too much. Wait until I get a stick. Now, all you have to do is to pull out these pieces, and " "You're raking out my potatoes," cried Ritter. "It won't kill you to put them back," said Tim. He tossed the stick away and turned toward Bobbie.

He returned to Munich in 1894 as Hofkapellmeister, and in 1897 succeeded Hermann Levi. Finally, he left Munich for Berlin, where at present he conducts the orchestra of the Royal Opera. Two things should be particularly noted in his life: the influence of Alexander Ritter to whom he has shown much gratitude and his travels in the south of Europe. He made Ritter's acquaintance in 1885.

When I had been this Karl Ritter's daily and sole intimate during two months, he one day said, abruptly 'I will tell you my story. Then he went on as follows: I have never given up, until now. But now I have given up. I am going to die. I made up my mind last night that it must be, and very soon, too. You say you are going to revisit your river, by-and-bye, when you find opportunity.

And you, Paxton, should have told me about Ritter's sneaking around." "Oh, I thought it was only fun at first," pleaded Paxton. "He is undoubtedly guilty, and there remains nothing to do but to have him arrested." It was not long after this when he and George Strong went on a hunt for Reff Ritter, to place him in the guardroom until an officer of the law could be summoned.

The child looked at it, as it passed away from the house down the road, and could not understand it at all; for the carpenter had not said any thing to her, not even that he was going to drive. He had remained seated where he was, after Mrs. Ritter's departure, until the colonel's servant came for him; and the child had kept herself hidden all the time.

There was nothing said about the incident, and Ritter's return visit was made, not to Liszt, but to the Princess, who had arrived in the meantime. After this Liszt decided that he could do nothing further; Ritter, therefore, withdrew from our society from this time forward, and changed his winter quarters from Zurich to Lausanne, where he settled permanently.

Each "that" was accompanied by a stinging blow, one on the ear, one on the eye and one on the nose. The second made the bully's left optic black, and the third caused the blood to spurt freely. Then Andy landed another blow on Ritter's mouth, leaped to the ground, and shoved the fellow from him. "I'll give you those for an opener," he said, breathing heavily.

"No, I don't think that, for quite a number of the cadets are far from rich and yet they are considered good fellows. It's Ritter's ways. He is too domineering. The fellows won't stand for his bullying manner." "When does the election take place?" "The tenth day of December a week from next Wednesday." "And you are sure you don't want to run again, Jack?" "Yes, quite sure, Pepper.

But I had to exercise great moderation here too, as every excitement threatened to bring on a return of erysipelas. A little party of us were at Karl Ritter's one evening, when I hit upon the idea of reading aloud Hoffmann's Der Goldene Topf.
