What’s happened, kid?” Billy asked, slowing up beside him.,“Wharfmaster, ahoy!” Billy hailed, as they came near the water’s edge. “Is all ship-shape?”,“Why have you been away out in the country for milk?”,To further impress the unsophisticated guest, a Latin Grammar was exhumed from a pile of books, and totally careless of how Moses was smarting under such an exhibition of scholarship, Clarence recited loudly “Amo, amas, amat.”，Billy was suddenly overcome with bashfulness when the child, quite composed, came forward to meet him. A bath, a shampoo, and new clothes had transformed her from a tangled, smudged little girl to a lovely miss with a high-bred air foreign to the childish manners Billy understood. He recognized Edith’s gown in the pretty frock mother and daughter had sat late to make over; but the neat ties and hose, all the little things it takes to make a girl look pretty, where had they come from?，“Does he?” May Nell stared innocently into the darkening eyes. “I should think that would make you awfully agitated.”，“I guess ours’ll be a grown-up chap; but I wish he’d be a boy my size. How do you guess poor old San Francisco looks to-day?”The loose-jointed one at last regained his feet and turning in the direction of the witnesses of his ignominy gave them a resentful glare.

Every drop of blood in his veins was a spark of fire. An unsuspected power came from somewhere, mysteriously. He felt himself lift, expand, grow strong enough to battle with an ox.

To horsewhip girls! Why don’t you take one of your own size?”,Howard led Nell through the intricacies of a square dance.,CHAPTER XVII.—A SAMPLE OF EBENEZER WOPP’S IRE.,Fight gleamed in the big man’s eye, and for the breath of an instant he hesitated.,In the middle of this trying work, Moses remembered he had glimpsed a large tempting piece of jelly-roll on the pantry shelf. As soon as an opportune moment arrived he slipped, unnoticed as he thought, into the pantry and immediately life took on a new and brighter interest.,“We came—we came to bring these,” one ventured timidly, and lifted one end of the basket they carried between them.,CHAPTER IV THE TWO-LIGHT TIME,“Oh, I was havin’ lots of fun watchin’ the dancin’,” returned Betty rising with childish alacrity. The wistful look that belied her words disappeared like magic..
