With a boy’s cunning and swiftness Billy made a running creep through the underbrush up the steep mountain side.

Not far behind the democrat came a light buggy drawn by a team of greys. Howard Eliot and Nell Gordon sat therein. “That’s good enough for me, then,” he said, sleepily.

So frigid was his expression that she did not attempt to turn her head in that direction again.
