"No?" says Lauderdale, laughing. "But why, then? There is no other Mrs. Rodney, is there?" So at her bidding he repeats the lines slowly, and in his best manner, which is very good:— "Oh, quite. They used to take me all over the college, and sometimes to the bands in the squares. They were very good to me.".

The young men kept going out, as they always did, to try to bring the buffalo to the edge of the cliff, but somehow they would not jump over into the piskun. When they had come almost to the edge, they would turn off to one side or the other and run down the sloping hills and away over the prairie. So the people could get no food, and they began to be hungry, and at last to starve. Scarface stood up. Now he felt strong and full of courage. He waded out into the water and lay down on the swans' backs, and they swam away. It was a fearful journey, for that water was deep and black, and in it live strange people and great animals which might reach up and seize a person and pull him down under the water; yet the swans carried Scarface safely to the other side. There was seen a broad, hard trail leading back from the water's edge. "What else?" says Mona, shyly. "An aim!" he says, bitterly. "I think I have found an end to my life where most fellows find a beginning.".
