"Stand back," says Ryan, savagely. "Stand back, I tell ye, unless ye want a hole in yer own skin, for his last moment is come." It is ten days later,—ten dreary, interminable days, that have struggled into light, and sunk back again into darkness, leaving no trace worthy of remembrance in their train. "Swift as swallows' wings" they have flown, scarce breaking the air in their flight, so silently, so evenly they have departed, as days will, when dull monotony marks them for its own. In those days there were buffalo, and these black animals were armed, for they had long horns.

Wait till she begins about the choir, and those hateful school-children, and the parish subsidies; then you perhaps will learn wisdom, and grow headaches if you have them not. Violet, what is it Jack calls Mr. Boer?"

"Do not trouble yourself to make any further excuse," says Mona, icily. The person answered him, "That is Wind Sucker's heart." "I don't want to see her," is the unflinching and most ungracious reply. "It is a pity anything should be said against Ireland," says Rodney, cleverly; "it is such a lovely little spot.".
