What wonder that a youth in such training should consent to fetch and carry, to listen and relate, to play the spy and know no more of his office than that it gave him astonishing thrills of satisfaction, and now and then a secret sweet reward?

"I suppose it will seem so to Canaan," returned the other, weariedly. "Governor feeling fit?" "I never saw him," Joe replied; then caught himself. "Oh, I see what you mean! Yes, he's all right." They had come into the hall, and Eugene was removing the long coat, while his step-brother looked at him thoughtfully. "'Gene," asked the latter, in a softened voice, "have you seen Mamie Pike yet?"

The man even talks like a serial!" said Mr. Jelnik, weariedly. "My dear, good sir, while we're by way of indulging in personalities permit me to inform you that you annoy me by existing.

Sighing weariedly, as one Who sits and gazes on a faded fire, When all the goodlier guests are past away, Sat their great umpire, looking o'er the lists.
