Embury didn't require that. I valeted his clothes, like, and kept them in order, but he dressed by himself. I took him some tea and toast he had that before the regular breakfast " "And this morning when he didn't ring or make any sound, what did you do?" "I waited a little while and then I rapped at Mrs, Embury's door." "Yes; and she now, be careful, man " Shane's voice was impressive.
The word was forced from Eunice's scornful lips, and accompanied by an icy glance meant to freeze the detective, but which utterly failed. "No rows or disagreements, eh? "Shane's smile was unbearable, and Eunice turned and faced him like an angry thing at bay. "I forbid you to speak to me," she said, and looked at Shane as if he were some miserable, crawling reptile.
S. C. Hall's "Sketches of Irish Character,"* furnishes an admirable illustration of the results of a want of independence of character: * See Frontispiece. "Shane Thurlough, 'as dacent a boy, and Shane's wife, as 'clane-skinned a girl, as any in the world.
Casey kept squinting and aiming, and then, just as he pressed the trigger, the train started with a sudden lurch. "Sp'iled me aim! Thot engineer's savin' of the Sooz tribe! ... Drill, ye terriers, drill! Drill, ye terriers, drill! ... Shane, I don't hear yez shootin'." "How'n hell can I shoot whin me eye is full of blood?" demanded Shane. Neale then saw blood on Shane's face.
"Well, we were early," said Bruce. "I've had a man keeping watch on Shane's shack, and he was late getting in. He telephoned to me. It's just as well to let Shane get a bit settled before we tackle him. He was out fishing until long after dark." Then the engineer slowed down the powerful motor as they came up to the dock. It was this sound that Cora and her chums heard.
The idea of your forbidding me!" "Hush, Eunice," said Hendricks. "She will not, Mr. Shane; I'm her guaranty for that. Don't apprehend any insubordination on the part of Mrs, Embury." "Not if she knows what's good for herself!" was Shane's parting shot, and the two detectives went away. "Oh, yes, indeed, Mr.
Jack had called as they neared the dock, and the Dixie, with trailing rope, ran up to it under her own momentum, while the other craft swung off into the darkness, the boys calling their thanks to the men.

"Do we?" came in a chorus. "We don't want anything any more." "Fling us your rope," was the curt order. Unexpected help had arrived. But it was too late. "What shall we do?" asked Cora, in a whisper. "It is rather a puzzle," admitted Bess. The motor girls were standing outside Denny Shane's cabin, looking in on him as he sat at his ease, with the red oar over his knees.
If it should be forgotten, I'd think it my duty to call attention to it." "A most careful butler, on my word!" Shane's tone was a little sneering. "He is, indeed!" Eunice defended; "and I can assert that it is because of his faithfulness and efficiency that we have always felt safe at night from intrusion by marauders." "And you did lock your door securely last night, Mrs, Embury?"
It would be hard if character were to be at the mercy of fancy," cried Ormond, hastily; but checking himself, he, in a mild tone, added, "before we go any farther, sir, I should inform you that I am a ward of Sir Ulick O Shane's."
