Some of the boys, waiting in the room they had just left, offered to bet two to one on the master if it came to business.

"She's all right!" "What's best ole town in the U. S. A.?" "Zeeeeeen-ith!"

Then last Thursday morning he called on me to tell me that he was through; that he would never see me again in fact, that he was to marry a girl of his own people who had been waiting " The woman looked piteously about at us. "I was desperate," she pleaded.
"Then you forgive me?" he cried eagerly. "For the words you spoke then I do not even blame you, sir. But what was, can never be again." "Ay," said the officer, bitterly. "You need not say it.
