If the doctor didn't have my arm in a splint I'd be right with you." "All right, Scouts," assented Jerry, "but go mighty easy." They were all good swimmers, and with hardly a ripple they propelled the Skyrocket slowly but steadily toward the shore of Lost Island.
Oh, sit down, for you look as if you would faint." He took the big splint armchair in the hall, and she stood by him caressing his hand, while tears glittered on her lashes.

I knew her during Howe's winter; some of our officers were there."
"Oh, daddy," she was whispering, "I knew that something had happened to you and that I must come to you, and that was why I begged and prayed my mother to come with me, and now we have found you, we have found you!" Colonel Fortescue drew the girl close to his strong beating heart for a brief moment. "It is a very neat splint," said Mrs.
