This perilous enterprise was to be conducted by Oloffe himself, who chose as lieutenants, or coadjutors, Mynheers Abraham Harden Broeck, Jacobus Van Zandt, and Winant Ten Broeck three indubitably great men, but of whose history, although I have made diligent inquiry, I can learn but little previous to their leaving Holland.
The Snowbird surely could not sail away to-day, for the dawning is showing its first gleams through the tiny window panes, and there is no sign of any change. From Miss Helen Jelliffe to Miss Jane Van Zandt Dearest Aunt Jennie: Why does the world sometimes seem to turn the wrong way, so that everything becomes miserably topsy-turvy?
But Calhoun regarded her calmly, his finger tips together, and spoke as deliberately as though communing with himself. "It is but one thing, one very little thing." "And what is that, Señor?" she asked at length. "The signature of Señor Van Zandt, attaché for Texas, on this memorandum of treaty between the United States and Texas."
"We has some merlasses now," one of the women told me, proudly. "Th' little bye he be allers a puttin' some on bread an' leavin' it on th' cheers." Daddy is calling me, so good by for the present.

In his eyes there was a strange look of apprehension, as when one awaits yet fears an answer. But there was nothing that I could say to him. My heart was beating as though ready to burst.

"I'm going home because he won't marry me unless Father consents," she said, "and he doesn't seem to think a consent by wire is legal. But I'm coming back." "Well, I wish you good luck, I'm sure." Mrs. Van Zandt leaned over and kissed Polly impulsively. "He'll browbeat you a bit but he'll stick by you. Guess I'll make some more coffee," and she bounced into the kitchen. "Gracious!
