The reward’s a good lump; if we bag the game you shall have your share.”,They now hastened to the spot where the horses were stationed, and commenced their journey. For some leagues they travelled in silence and thought, over a wild and picturesque country. The landscape was tinted with rich and variegated hues; and the autumnal lights, which streamed upon the hills, produced a spirited and beautiful effect upon the scenery. All the glories of the vintage rose to their view: the purple grapes flushed through the dark green of the surrounding foliage, and the prospect glowed with luxuriance.，“I’m sure of that. I want to tell you now how proud I am of the Reclamation Service and the things it’s doing.

The boy, who had fought shy of this mere woman’s party, had spent the afternoon in the barn.，There is both dignity and tenderness in her tone. She gazes at him earnestly for a moment, and then suddenly slips one arm round his neck.“Come on Betty, you haven’t had a dance this evening. It isn’t fair for the grownups to have all the fun,” invited Howard Eliot.

As he hurried along he encountered a branch which hung low and like a scalpel lifted the straw hat from the head of the astonished boy.,Mrs. Wopp obligingly gave as an encore, “There were ninety and nine,” apropos of nothing whatever.
