Cautiously he crept nearer the door, stopping at each step to listen, to look again at the worker above. He was at the very corner of the house when voices sounded from within. He started, his breath coming quicker. He caught no words, but knew by the “ginger” in the tones that the speakers were angry. Shuffling steps came up the stairway and turned toward the rear. “But Roderick Dhu died from fighting Fitz-James; I hate to give Jimmy a dying part.” “Well, Moses,” queried his genial host at the supper table, “did the skating go pretty good to-day?”.

His eyes were as round as the rather sparsely-located buttons on his shirt. His nose was a small round knob.
