observers book of wild flowers till the first of May, the sea being then covered with them.” CHAPTER II U. S. R. S.,“Good-by.” He bowed, his little naked heels put together in most formal manner.,"I'm afraid Joe'll sell, if he gets a good offer," reflected Wilson.,In short, in all things to ensure success,,"Don't ask me. Uncle Jen; I can't answer you yet."，Now was Billy’s chance! The place was alone! He waited till each traveller was out of view on the curving road, then climbed up, crossed the dusty wheel tracks, and crept into the brush on the other side. Once hidden he “snooped” silently through the tangled chaparral, coming shortly to the mystery-house, so close to it that he could have looked in at the windows had they been clean enough.，"Did you observe Mr Greyquill," continued[Pg 114] the Admiral, "on the wharf behind a little crowd of people viewing the ship under his lifted hand? He was there when you came on deck."，At that moment the man at the mast-head with the telescope still at his eye, shouted the magic words: "Sail ho!"“Duck!” yelled Jerry.

"What a time you have been away!" she says, with a pretty, slow smile, that has not a particle of embarrassment or consciousness in it, though she is quite aware that Jack Rodney is watching her closely. Perhaps, indeed, she is secretly amused at his severe scrutiny.,"Is it?"—witheringly. Then, with some impatience, "You will be far happier in an arm-chair: do go into the parlor. There is really no reason why you should remain here.","Spring comes slowly up this way","He will," cried Billy, "I know he will.",“Mr. Whitney?

Would you like to go up there?”,"It won't be her fault; but of course her people will object, which amounts to the same thing. She can't go against her people, you know.",Of course, he must suspect how I feel about him, for two people couldn't both be so ignorant as not to see such an enormous thing as my love for him is, and I was the blind one. But he must never, never know that I ever realised it, for he is so good that it would distress him. I must just go on in my foolish way with him until I can get away. I'll tell him I'm sorry I was so indignant to-night, and say that I think it will be fine for him to take my Billy away from me with him. I must smile at the idea of having my very soul amputated, insist that it is the only thing to do, and pack up the little soul in a cabin trunk with a smile. Just smile, that is all!
