With a cry of joy she threw herself into his arms, and Talking Rock went out and left them alone.,The audience made an impetuous dash to the scene of the fatality and as he stooped over the dripping yellow-frocked figure a jolt of even greater proportions upset the bucket entirely; a deluge of the unsavory mixture almost knocked off his knightly helmet and trickled from its rusty edges till he looked like a very rotund and rakish Don Quixote.,The organ now swelled in mournful harmony; and the voices of the assembly chanted in choral strain, a low and solemn requiem to the spirit of the departed.,"But I told you you'd like find it some lonesome, Mary, you remember?",Mrs. Bennett came in and tried to learn the trouble; but it was some time before May Nell could be induced to tell.,The dawn now faintly glimmered, and they surveyed the coast, but could discover no human habitation.
