Two things the Navy teaches us: discipline and the art of it.","Watch out!" warned Billy, grasping him by the arm and jerking him to one side, "that struck elm is goin' to fall." A rainbow of flame flashed close before the boys, as the stricken tree crashed across the path, hurling forth a shower of sparks as it came to earth.

"I asked Mr. Alymer to call and see me, and sent the message by that tramp named Battersea.",Jean hid a queer little smile that she could not repress.，"'Him'?—whom?"—demands her husband, with pardonable vivacity.，The youth approached.，"It is I,—Mona Scully," she calls aloud, when she is within a hundred yards of the hiding-place.

I love my flowers. I love them swaying on their stems in the wind, and I like to snatch them and crush the life out of them against my breast and face.
