The wise man of old did well to confess his ignorance of 'the way of an eagle in the air." "The eagle," said Elder Staples, "seems to have been a favorite illustration of the sacred penman. 'They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount upward as on the wings of an eagle." "What think you of this passage?" said the Doctor.

He led her quickly past the back door of the saloon and up two narrow flights of stairs to the top of the building, drew from his pocket the key to a heavy padlock and slipped the crooked bolt from the double staples. He unlocked the door with a second key and pushed his way in. "All righto," he cried. The straight, narrow hall inside was dark. He fumbled in his pocket and lit the gas.

In civilized communities deaths, births, marriages and divorces are recorded, and are known accurately except where there is concealment or neglect. The machinery exists for some, and only some, aspects of industry and government, in varying degrees of precision for securities, money and staples, bank clearances, realty transactions, wage scales.

Mr. Staples smiled at some recollection, and added, 'I never spoke to her four times in my life; but I was as bad as any of them presumptuous as you may think it. 'I am glad you did not see her again, burst from Felix, the tears starting forth as he copied her hopeful words. 'She altered sadly. 'Ah! indeed.
