"My daughter, sir!" cried Captain Acton. A spasm of pain crossed the boy's face. "Like a man," he answered shortly. A blue-jay and a yellow-hammer flashed by him, side by side, racing for the grubbing-fields of the soft woods below, their blue and yellow bodies marking twin streaks against the hazy light. Blue and yellow, truly the most wonderful colors of all the colorful world, thought Billy. The scene faded and in its place grew up a face with blue, laughing eyes and red, smiling lips, above which gleamed a halo of spun gold.

See you tonight at prayer-meetin'." "Ho, teacher!" came an answering voice. "We're comin' straight in with the wind. I've got 'em both.".
