And he said, awfully solemn, ‘Remember, Billy, no one but a coward strikes his foe in the back. A boy of mine who could do that,—I don’t think I should wish him to wear this.’ And he pointed to his Loyal Legion button.

I’ve disgraced papa’s button forever!” His last words were a groan, and he hid his face. “There’s a better way,” Billy called, when the deputy leading started to climb back as he had come. “Follow the creek; there’s a trail.”.

And don’t speak of the earthquake,” she warned him aside; “she must forget that as fast as possible.” “‘Magine huntin’ Joner in Mifsud’s woods.” Betty dimpled at the thought. “He was more like to find a coyote or stir up a bee’s nest. My! St. Elmo must of et a sight o’ berries to git so smeared.” “Me neither,” George endorsed. “Next month when currants are ripe you shall see.”.
