"But, say, Teall, the thing has been rubbed in too hard. Run back with the things. You'll find all hands where you hid our things." "And I'll find the crazy man there, too, maybe," ventured Teall. "Also, I'll run right into a gang that is just waiting to trim me. I thank you kindly, but if any one is to go back into that crowd with Hi's things, it will be some one else.
"Let's see your option," Hiram demanded, bruskly. "Why if Mrs. Atterson wishes to see it " "You show it to Hi, you Pepper-man," snapped the old lady. "I wouldn't do a thing without his advice." "Oh, well, if you consider a boy's advice material " "I know Hi's honest," declared the old lady, tartly. "And that's what I'm sure you ain't!
With a series of assenting "Ho's," "How's," "Hi's," and "Hee's," they returned with him into the hut, and began to appropriate the property, commencing with a cold haunch of venison which they discovered in the larder, and to which they did ample justice, sitting in a circle on the floor in the middle of the little room.

"Fellows, we've got to do something, and we must make it strong!" muttered Dick, as his side came in. Reade went to bat -was struck out.

He gripped it a little harder for an instant, then relaxed and waited for Hi's puzzling delivery. "Strike one!"
A half dozen tents were pitched under the trees, horses and oxen were corraled at a little distance, and a group of men sat on camp stools or lay on blankets about a bright fire.

It is evident that in Chu Hi's system, we have a body of thought which may be called the result of Chinese reflection during a millennium and a half. It is the ethics of Confucius transfused with the mystical elements of Taoism and the speculations of Buddhism.
"Now, I call that a fair deal," he said to his friend; "gives every man a show. No cards up the sleeve." "That's so," was Hi's thoughtful reply; "distributes the trumps."
