The merchants were strong enough to defeat the League and its sole backer at every point. This was one of the "Clarion's" failures. Coincident with the ebb of the store advertising occurred a lapse in circulation, inexplicable to the staff until an analysis indicated that the women readers were losing interest. It was young Mr.
Then he said, with deep earnestness: "Young men, a great load has been removed from my mind by this recent performance of the Sky-Bird II. I have now not the slightest doubts of her adaptability to make a round-the-world trip, and if she performs then as she did this morning, we are not only going to defeat the Clarion's crew, but we are going to smash all existing records for a journey of the kind.
I meant that man going into the corner tenement. I believe it was Hal Surtaine." "Was it?" "And you needn't say, 'Was it? in that lofty, superior tone, like an angel with a new halo, either," pursued her aggrieved friend. "You know it was. What do you suppose he's doing down here?" "The epidemic is the 'Clarion's' special news. He spends quite a little time in this district, I believe."
A tremor ran through Craven's tall frame; and for an instant, as his eye rested on his companion, the idea of foul play crossed his mind. He cast it out, that he might deal calmly with his own position. "Of course, you perceive," he said, as he took up his hat, "that I can no longer on these terms remain the Clarion's correspondent.

It was after nightfall ere there was any variation of the monotonous quiet; and indeed the tall clock had just announced the usual bedtime of the family when Clarion's bark made the squire sit up from his drowse before the fire, and set all listening.
