"I'm glad it's over." "So'm I." "You managed to escape?" He looked at her hastily, a little red creeping over his pallid face. She spoke almost as to a deserter.

"I'm going to sit by a window!" cried Freddie. "So'm I!" added Flossie, and both were soon kneeling on the rattan seats, with their noses fairly flattened against the glass of the window. The few passengers in the train smiled, for they knew the children must be from somewhere outside of New York, as the little folk of that city are not so eager to see the sights amid which they live.
"Proud of this yere county?" said the boy, "or proud of being dep'ty- sheriff?" "By Jing! I'm proud o' both. The county's comin' along fine, and so'm I, Bud.
