"You told me Steele lost his head over Diane at first sight. Well, we all have company. Good night, Russ." That night I told Steele about the singular effect the story of his treatment of Vey had upon Miss Sampson. He could not conceal his feelings.
Simultaneously Van Emmon heard a loud buzzing in either ear. Corrus was being warned. Like a flash he dropped his head and muttered: "Vey well. I will remember next time." And trembling violently he turned back to his cows. "Well," remarked the geologist, when the four "came out" of their seance, "the bees seem to have everything their own way. How can we help the humans best?
They were not summed up, it seems, with the warmth, with the ardour, which she had expected. This whole letter was transcribed by Dorcas, to whose lot it fell. Thou shalt have copies of them all at full length shortly. 'Men of our cast, this little devil says, 'she fancies, cannot have the ardours that honest men have.

This is an excursion of but a few hours, and there is a little friendly, familiar, dawdling train that will con- vey you, in time for a noonday breakfast, to the small dead town where the blessed Saint-Louis twice em- barked for the crusades. You may get back to Nimes for dinner; the run or rather the walk, for the train doesn't run is of about an hour.
I heard a good deal about it from my acquaintances, some little from Steele, and the concluding incident I saw and heard myself. Andy Vey was a broken-down rustler whose activity had ceased and who spent his time hanging on at the places frequented by younger and better men of his kind.

One hand clasped a crumpled paper bag; the other held a rusty iron hoop and a cudgel entirely out of proportion to the size of the hoop. "And how is everybody at your house?" the babe demanded. "Are vey pretty well?" "Very well, thank you." The young man was endeavoring to remember where, during the two weeks he had spent in Helena, he had seen this child.
Are you strong enough to-day, to bear a tale of cruel sorrow; but which perhaps, when your tears are shed, will leave you all the happier?
