Now it's all plain!" "All?" repeated Sylvester. "You mean ?" "I mean everything, all that's been puzzlin' me and troublin' my head since the very beginnin'. All of it! Now I know why! Oh, 'Bije! 'Bije! 'Bije!" Kuhn spoke quickly. "Captain," he said, "I believe you know who the owner of that one hundred shares is. Do you?" Captain Elisha gravely nodded. "Yes," he answered. "I know him."

I'm clar Mass'r James is one o' de 'lect; and I'm clar dar's consid'able more o' de 'lect dan people tink. Why, Jesus didn't die for nothin', all dat love a'n't gwine to be wasted.

"O bay o' Dublin, my heart you're troublin'," Mollie gave a violent start but it was only Bridget singing in the kitchen. Mr. O'Rourke turned his head and listened. "Who comes from Dublin?" he asked.

"It's the true word you was sayin', he'll be makin' Dan water-tender?"
