As he looked around the room and outside the door to detect the advent of an intruder Peg sat at the piano and played very softly the prelude to an old Irish song. As Jerry walked back he said surprisedly: "Oh! so you play?" Peg nodded laughingly. "Afther a fashion. Me father taught me. Me aunt can't bear it.

"Well, that ain't just the way he told it," commented the foreman, stooping to expectorate into the hearth and stopping to regard surprisedly its unwonted emptiness. "He said " "I don't give a damn what he said," snapped Billy. "He lied, the low-down cur." "Uh-huh he said something about you shooting that dawg of his. I saw the carcass out there in the snow."

"Why, it's little Joy!" he said surprisedly, smiling at her as he took Phyllis' hand. "Where did you find her, Phyllis?" Joy clung closer to Phyllis, waiting for the storm to break, for Mr. Havenith was stepping forward now, holding a courteous, if dazed, hand to the man his granddaughter had elected as her fiance.

"If it were not for baby, I could teach perhaps, or go out to sew; but I'll have to wait till he's older for that." "Would you take the baby?" he asked surprisedly. "How could I leave him?" she returned. "I thought perhaps didn't your stepmother have any relatives?" "A few; but they are not people with whom he would be happy," she said simply.

When Dad had warmed himself back and front he turned to us and said: "Now, boys, we must go directly and light some fires and keep those wallabies back." That was a shock to us, and we looked at him to see if he were really in earnest. He was, and as serious as a judge. "TO-NIGHT!" Dave answered, surprisedly "why to-night any more than last night or the night before?

Serious as was Johnson's predicament, he could not suppress a smile. In a surprisedly calm voice he told her to say that she had gone to bed. The Girl's eyes flooded with admiration. "Why, o' course that's it," she said, and turned back to the door and called through it: "I've gone to bed, Nick! I'm in bed now!" The barkeeper's answer was lost in another loud howl of the blast.
