He seated himself on the prow of the big fish-boat, his eyes on the thirsty cattle now belly-deep in the blue water, drinking their fill.

No windows were visible from the direction in which they came and Bob doubted if there were any on the other side.,“And could he beat the old gentleman?” inquired Nell Gordon, vastly entertained.,“O Billy, it hurts the ears of my mind to hear you say those vulgar words.” May Nell, playing “man” for the first time in her life, looked up from the “rod of grade” that she was piling deftly with a broken shingle.
