"And the feller studied a minute, and then says, kinder sad like, 'Well, I'm only a stranger here, and I ain't got no frog; but if I had a frog, I'd bet you. "And then Smiley says, 'That's all right that's all right if you'll hold my box a minute, I'll go and get you a frog. And so the feller took the box, and put up his forty dollars along with Smiley's, and set down to wait.

"But we did not have as much light on the medium, and, by-the-way, Miller, the spectral hands that I saw in your study, each larger than Mrs. Smiley's hands, were as real to me as those Scarpa studied, and the books deposited on your table form as good a record, in their way, as the marks on his smoked-glass cylinder." "Furthermore, we had writing," added Fowler.

Smiley, being very near-sighted, thought it was a dog, and immediately kicked it so savagely that it flew up into the gallery and lodged on top of the organ. Mr. Potts, perfectly frantic with rage, forgot where he was; and holding his clinched fist under Smiley's nose, he shrieked, "I've half a mind to brain you, you scoundrel!" Then he flung down his hymn-book and rushed from the church.

Smiley's back was near a wall of books, and, the room being narrow, Miller's chair pretty well filled the space between the table and the window behind it. The action of a confederate was excluded by reason of the bolted door. To enter the room by the window was impossible, for the reason that the slightest noise could be heard and the least movement of the curtain would admit the light.

Even the President had no words in which to answer the poor, disheartened little missionary. "Do you belong to Miss Smiley's Gleaners?" It was Frances who spoke, and though the words themselves signified little, her tone of voice was like an electric thrill, and the faces of the whole company turned expectantly toward her as she waited for Peace's answer. "No, not yet.

Smiley's hands, and "Wilbur's" voice strong, vital, humorous came to me, conversing as readily, as sensibly, as any living flesh-and-blood person, and all the time I held to my tapes, carefully noting that no movement, beyond a slight tremor, took place in the psychic's arms.

"And at the last minute Smiley's been hinting something about Mildmay giving a bit of land to extend the Recreation Ground. A beastly unscrupulous fellow I call Smiley." "Oh, poor Mr. Smiley! He wants to win." "He might play fair, though." "Might he? Oh, well, I suppose so. We've played fair anyhow pretty fair, haven't we?" "Rather!" "You really think so, Jimmy?"

Sukey coolly descended from the breastwork and, sitting down at the root of a tree, took out his book and said: "I've balanced the score. They flogged me; but, by the eternal, I'm more than even." During the action some of the Tennesseeans became mixed with Smiley's regiment. One of them was killed about five yards from where Fernando stood.

"And the feller studied a minute, and then says, kinder sad-like, 'Well, I'm only a, stranger here, and I ain't got no frog; but if I had a frog, I'd bet you. "And then Smiley says, 'That's all right that's all right if you'll hold my box a minute, I'll go and get you a frog. Any so the feller took the box, and put up his forty dollars along with Smiley's, and set down to wait.

"Laws, Moulder, she don't expect that." "She won't get it any way. Here's John dressed up as if he was going to a box in the the-atre. And you why should you be going to expense, and knocking out things that costs money, because Mother Smiley's coming? I'll Smiley her." "Now, Moulder " But Mrs. Moulder knew that it was of no use speaking to him at the present moment.
