"Later on, my friend Cain," said the major, grimly. "You will have quite enough to do to save your neck from the halter." "Ah! That is what I wish to learn. Well?" Miss Jinny came to herself with a chuckle. "My gracious, Patricia Kendall, what are you thinking of!" she exclaimed in growing amazement. "Are you mad enough to imagine I'm going to behave like a lunatic, just because I'm taking a new name to myself? Do behave or I'll never speak to you again!".
