This time the water was too shallow fer snakie to get clear away. The hawk grabbed him in his claws an' started up with him. 'Goodbye, little snake,' I thought, an' jest then I noticed that the hawk was havin' trouble; fer one thing, he wasn't flyin' straight, an' he was strikin' with his curved beak without findin' anythin'. Pretty soon he started saggin' down to the reeds. I jumped into the punt an' made fer the spot where I thought he'd come down. Jest as I got there he splashed into the shallow water. I stood up in the punt, an' then I saw what had happened. The little water-snake had coiled round the hawk's neck an' had kept its head close under his throat.

"I didn't mean to say that Doris Leighton was a fake. I only meant that my feelings toward her had changed. You don't have to give up your admiration for her, Pat dear."

Maurice held back. She grasped his arm and hustled him down the walk.,"You terrify me," says Geoffrey, with a grimace. "You think, then, that Mona is pretty?",At the conclusion of the service, Deacon Ringold called a few of the leading church members together and to them spoke his mind thus:,He had half mounted the cabin ladder when he was brought to a stand by a sound of voices, of men speaking hard by the companion-way..
