Dinville read it, corrected a few minor mistakes here and there, counted the words, and taking some money from his pocket, counted out a couple of bills and pushed them over to the boy. "What's this for?" asked Stuart. "For the story!" answered the reporter in well-simulated surprise. "Regular space rates, six dollars a column. I'm not allowed to give more, if that's what you mean."

McKaye a promise to call at his office with the girls at ten o'clock the following morning. "What is this interesting news, Andrew?" Mrs. Daney asked, with well-simulated disinterestedness.

In a well-simulated agony of nervousness he called on Yussuf Dakmar to get down and help him search, and the Syrian hadn't enough self-command left to pretend to hesitate; his cold eyes were nearly popping from his head as he knelt and groped. The chief subject of interest to me just then was how he proposed to retain the letter in the unlikely event of his finding it first.

He quickly decided, however, that inasmuch as he had not yet possessed himself of the money due to him from the captive, that he would screen him as far as he was able compatibly with his own safety. "What's this fellow doing here?" demanded his master, as soon as Hugh stepped into the room. "Can't say, sir," replied Hugh, gazing at Edmund with well-simulated surprise, "maybe he's in drink."

But I suppose it won't happen till nobody knows how long." "I suppose so, too," said Geoff in a tone of well-simulated sympathy. "Poor Elsie, spoiling for people! Don't set your heart on them.

"The Prince von der Tann insinuated that Austria's only wish in connection with Lutha is to seize her," he said. Zellerndorf raised his hands in well-simulated horror. "Your majesty!" he exclaimed.

Foster told me he lived a few miles off, but I'll have to move on if he comes in here." "Why?" Mrs. Chudleigh asked in well-simulated surprise, though she saw the opportunity she had been waiting for was now offered her.

She did not know Mr. Manning's handwriting, and opened his letter and read some lines before its import appeared. Then for a time she forgot the Fadden affair altogether. With a well-simulated unconcern and a heightened color she finished her breakfast.

It was a cryptogram, of course an arrangement of cabalistic signs instead of letters, but I could make nothing of it. The message, whatever it is, would take hours of careful study to decipher; and even then, without the key, one might fail. I have seen nothing quite like it, in all my experience." "And you gave it back to her!" Blaine exclaimed, with well-simulated incredulity.
