Also to be Acting Sergts.-Major of the above Squadrons in order named, the following Mounted Police N.C.O.'s, viz.: Sergts.-Major W. A. Edgenton, C. R. Peters, C. F. Fletcher and F. E. Spriggs.
Spriggs demonstrated that the sum of the angles in any triangle is equal to two right angles. In Pittsburg Mr. Spriggs is said to have moved an audience to tears when, by an original combination of the Virginia reel, the two-step, and the Navajo snake dance, he showed that if x^ +y^ = 25 and x^ -y^ = 25, x equals 5 and y equals zero.
Spriggs raised another objection; "you've been too well brought up. Still, you can try." It was a slight comfort to Mrs. Spriggs that Mr. Augustus Price did, after all, choose a convenient time for his reappearance. A faint knock sounded on the door two days afterwards as she sat at tea with her husband, and an anxious face with somewhat furtive eyes was thrust into the room.
How The Jupiter had affirmed that each one of them "each one of us, Jonathan Crumple, think of that!" had a clear right to a hundred a year; and that if The Jupiter had said so, it was better than a decision of the Lord Chancellor: and then he carried about the paper, supplied by Mr Finney, which, though none of them could read it, still afforded in its very touch and aspect positive corroboration of what was told them; and Jonathan Crumple pondered deeply over his returning wealth; and Job Skulpit saw how right he had been in signing the petition, and said so many scores of times; and Spriggs leered fearfully with his one eye; and Moody, as he more nearly approached the coming golden age, hated more deeply than ever those who still kept possession of what he so coveted.
If you must know, Alfred is drawing it out for uncle to invest it for him." The eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Spriggs and Mr. Price engaged in a triangular duel. The latter spoke first. "I'm putting it into my business for him," he said, with a threatening glance, "in Australia." "And he didn't want his generosity known," added Mr. Potter. The bewildered Mr. Spriggs looked helplessly round the table.
This is an order to hold a court, composed of Captain Richard Cuffe, of the Proserpine, president; Captain Sir Frederick Dashwood, Bart., of the Terpsichore, etc., etc.; and Lyon, Winchester, and Spriggs, your first-lieutenant, Sir Frederick, for the trials of Raoul Yvard, a French citizen, on the charge of being a spy, and Ithuel Bolt, seaman, etc., on the charge of being a deserter.
Potter had gone and Ethel had retired upstairs she was still voiceless. She sat for some time looking at the fire and stealing an occasional glance at Uncle Gussie as he smoked a cigar; then she arose and bent over her husband. "Do what you think best," she said, in a weary voice. "Good-night." "What about that money of young Alfred's?" demanded Mr. Spriggs, as the door closed behind her.
"It's a secret," said Mr. Price. "What about?" persisted Mr. Spriggs, raising his voice. "It's a little private business between me and Uncle Gussie," said Mr. Potter, somewhat stiffly. "You you haven't been lending him money?" stammered the bricklayer. "Don't be silly, father," said Miss Spriggs, sharply. "What good would Alfred's little bit o' money be to Uncle Gussie?

"Emma!" said a mournful voice, as the upper part of the intruder's body followed the face. "Gussie!" said Mrs. Spriggs, rising in disorder. Mr. Price drew his legs into the room, and, closing the door with extraordinary care, passed the cuff of his coat across his eyes and surveyed them tenderly.
