CHAPTER II

I should highly value the privilege," then his eyes rested on Miss Malroy.
"Betty, let me present Captain Murrell." The captain bowed, giving her a glance of bold admiration.

"Good-by, Mr.Yancy, I liked your story." Hannibal and Yancy watched them mount and ride away, then the boy said: "Uncle Bob, now them ladies have gone, won't you please show me them dints you made in the doorjamb ?".
