The Admiral took the letter, ran his eyes over it, and answered, returning the letter to Captain Acton: "It is." As before, nobody moved. "I aim to call her Lou," he said hesitatingly. "That is if you don't mind.".

“So you want me to tell you something about the dam?” said Mr. Whitney, smiling at his rodman.

It was Sunday. Anson, with eyes close-shut and suds dripping from his freckled nose, was having his weekly ear and neck cleansing, his mother's strong hands applying the coarse wash-cloth. Billy stood by, anticipating his turn, his eyes straying occasionally to the long "muzzle-loader" hanging on the deer-prong rack.

It was full of heart, and seemed to lighten his beauty of much of its burden of wear and tear. Harry glanced behind him with a shudder. "God love you fer a good lad, Billy," he cried; "but this is no way to trate an ould frind, is ut now?".
