He handed him the sulphur.,They came upon him a second later, insensible, his head bleeding from a scalp wound. Hurriedly the Sheriff lifted him close to the brook, dashed water over his face, washed out the cut a little, and bound it with his handkerchief, not untenderly if in haste; for Billy had won something more than his approval.,Billy was running up the aisle.,"Billy!" he cried, "why didn't you shoot?"，"Yes, we mustn't forget Billy, God bless him."，"Mark my words, Elinor Kendall," she said impressively. "Some one is at the bottom of this, and I have my suspicions, too, who that someone is. I'm not going to tell, for you girls always laugh at me, but I'm going to prove it to you before that committee meets that you're the victim of a conspiracy."，“What is it?” demanded the boy."And did you hear anythin' of what passed between 'em, Billy?"
