At first he fancied that Billy might attempt to extort money by a threat of telling Dr. Rowlands; but this supposition he banished as unlikely since it might expose Billy himself to very unpleasant consequences.

"You you'd better not," Len muttered. "I want you first to answer my questions," Dave went on. "After that I'll see what happens. It's according to how much truth there is in what you have said." "Oh, it's true all right," sneered the bully. "Then I demand to know who told you!" Dave's hand shot out and grasped the bridle of the other's horse, and Len's plan of flight was frustrated.

There was something noble and touching in the boy's low accents as he said this; it gave the key to his unusual modesty and his frank, healthful innocence of character. The devil in Varney's lip sneered mockingly. "My young friend, you have never loved yet. Do you think you ever shall?" "I have dreamed that I could love one day. But I can wait."
