In the drawling manner in which she said, "Hello, Rosy," and nonchalantly accepted Miss Glynn's invitation for the intervening days before school opened, the new Adelle was revealed. The girls exchanged glances. And "Rosy" whispered Irene Paul, "Our little Adelle is coming on." To which the California girl replied with a chuckle, "Didn't I tell you she was a good old sport?"
The voice was drawling, and quite gentle; but at the sound of it, Higli's laugh stopped short, and the muscles of his face contracted. If there was one man of whom he had a wholesome fear why, he could not tell it was this round-faced, abrupt, imperturbable American, Claridge Pasha's right-hand man. Legends of resourcefulness and bravery had gathered round his name.
The grating voice, the drawling accent, the bottle-green coat, were nothing to them; far less noticed, in fact, than Wilkins's expensive habits, the money he paid for his wine and horses, and the nonsense of claiming kin with the Welsh Wilkinses, and setting up his brougham to drive about -shire lanes, and be knocked to pieces over the rough round paving-stones thereof.

But if I demanded money for the house expences, which I put off till the last moment, his customary reply, often prefaced with an oath, was, 'Do you think me, madam, made of money? The butcher, the baker, must wait; and, what was worse, I was often obliged to witness his surly dismission of tradesmen, who were in want of their money, and whom I sometimes paid with the presents my uncle gave me for my own use.

"Say, Weldon, some beggar has hit me in the shoulder!" Then of a sudden Weldon realized that at last he knew what it meant to be under fire. "Oh, truce! Truce!" Alice Mellen protested. "Don't talk shop, Cooee."
"And under how many heads are they ranged?" asked the King, drawling a little in his speech. "Sir; they are under forty-three heads." The King rolled his eyes, as if in a droll kind of despair; but he said nothing. "And you tell me " began my Lord; but His Majesty broke in: "Mon Dieu!" he said; "and here is good Mr. Mallock, come here hot-foot, and knows not a word of the proceedings. Mr.

An excited cackle cut into the conversation, followed by a drawling announcement from the window. "Your old tillicum is right here, Mac. What's the use of waiting?
He was no longer the drawling, supercilious naval officer in resplendent uniform. He was a keen- brained mechanical expert, questioning Ned regarding his knowledge of submarines. "You are fairly well up in the matter," the Captain said, going back to his old drawl, in a few moments. "I shall not object to your going on the Diver with me." The boys all gasped.
