And now for a short time the conversation wholly referred to the business part of the compact.

"Came in on the sly last week to have a new set made. Got measured for 'em, and am going to get them day after tomorrow.

"Ann," he commanded, "you run along and get your supper.",All through the night Mona scarcely shuts her eyes, so full is her mind of troubled and perplexing thoughts.

The new troop was to stay permanently, as the troubles at the border were continuing and Mr. Whitney had found it impracticable to get laborers of any other nationality than Mexicans.,Miss Jinny cocked her head knowingly. "Trust me," she replied, laconically. "I had a cousin who was an actor and I saw him put on a beautiful beard with spirit-gum and creped hair once.
