High above a few pale stars were beginning to probe through the tattered clouds.

Mrs. Keeler's square form interposed itself staunchly between him and that means of exit. His wild eyes strayed to the face of his chum. Maurice was grinning a glad, if swollen, grin. There was nothing to do but face the music.,"Exactly. And, Benjamin, kin you imagine the old deacon's face in the mornin' when he sees what we've done?" And the two cronies went off laughing over their prospective raid.,"Teacher," he said in awed tones, "sometimes I'm sure you kin see. If you can't see how do you find out things like you do?
