BASEBALL 9

BASEBALL 9 Ah! the secret was not hard to discover. "But how do you know this?" asked Wilson in amazement. Billy hesitated before answering. "I know it," he said, "'cause every night that he rides to the lighthouse Maurice an' me sail up there an' sort o' hide up till he leaves.",“Yes, but sit there alone while we row away?” said Olaf.,“Oh, that? Well, that’s—that’s nothing.”,"A cookie, a nice fat cookie, with a raisin in its centre," coaxed the girl.,The news of Julia's elopement at length reached the ears of Ferdinand, whose joy at this event was equalled only by his surprize. He lost, for a moment, the sense of his own situation, and thought only of the escape of Julia. But his sorrow soon returned with accumulated force when he recollected that Julia might then perhaps want that assistance which his confinement alone could prevent his affording her.，Jacobs gazed at the lawyer wonderingly. "How did you know?" he stammered.，“Yes,” said Tellef, tearing up bits of heather and tossing them away. “It is cataracts Grandmother has in her eyes.”，"Yes, asthma's that way—eases off—then comes back—hits you sudden."

I hope it will throw a glow over Alfred!

Anson asked him.,CHAPTER XV.,"In what direction?",Moses was not easily satisfied. His attitude was always that of one who has dined on an undersized shrimp while expecting a ten-course banquet.,At the sound of his voice the horse lifted his head and gazed at the boy in seeming surprise. A wisp of grass dangled from his mouth; his ears pricked forward. Perhaps something in the boy's voice recalled a voice he had known far back along his checkered life, when he was a colt and a bare-legged youngster fed him sugar and rode astride his back.,"I am sure we shall all be very glad," she says, faintly, feeling herself bound to make some remark.,"Thanks. I'll put it off for a night or two," says Nolly, sleepily.,"You are certainly too strong for me," says Rodney, with a frown and a peculiar smile.,"Brilliantly.","Tell me again how it all happened," he says, laying his hands on her shoulders. And then she goes through it again, slowly, carefully..
