But wait till we have our 'howl'!" What a "howl" was, superlative to "tree-toading," "owl-hooting," and other divertisements, did not appear at this time; for a young man did, approaching from the front of the hotel, and came up to the group on the piazza with the question, "At what time do we set off for Feather-Cap to-morrow?" "Oh, early, Mr. Scherman; by nine o'clock.

" "Earlier than you'll be ready," said Frank Scherman's sister, one of the "Routh" girls also.

She kept Frank Scherman at her side for the first half-hour, and then, perhaps, his admiration or his muscles tired, for he fell back a little to help Madam Routh up a sudden ridge, and afterwards, somehow, merged himself in the quieter group of strangers.

Frank Scherman had said, coming up to her, as she and her friend Dakie, a little apart from the others, were poising among some loose pebbles.

She did not even stop to think how long she had had Frank Scherman's attention all to herself, or the triumph that it was in the eyes of the older girls, among whom he was excessively admired, and not very disguisedly competed for.

Madam Routh was delighted with her; and so, I should think, was Mr. Scherman.

"Just as much as there was last week," replied Josie Scherman, common-sense-ically.

This came from Josie Scherman.

Frank Scherman had got back to-day, and was dancing with Sin Saxon.

Frank Scherman was an old childhood's friend, not a mere mountain acquaintance.

"I'm ready to agree with you, with but just the reservation that you could not make," Frank Scherman answered.

"It is grand surveying," said Frank Scherman.

Dakie Thayne was stage-manager and curtain-puller; Sin Saxon and Frank Scherman represented the audience, with clapping and stamping, and laughter that suspended both; making as nearly the noise of two hundred as two could: this being an essential part of the rehearsal in respect to the untried nerves of the débutant, which might easily be a little uncertain.

" "You've a way of your own of putting things, Asenath," said Frank Scherman,with a glance that beamed kindly and admiringly upon her and "her way,""but you've put that clear to me as nobody else ever did.

Sin Saxon was quiet; her own thought coming back upon her with a reflective force, and a thrill at her heart at Frank Scherman's words.

Susan Josselyn and Frank Scherman were just "posed" for "Consolation.

Something like an odd, knowing smile twinkling out from the glow also, as he looked up at Scherman and took his orders.

The earnest gaze of the dying soldier met more, perhaps, in its uplifting; for Frank Scherman had a look, in this instant of enacting, that he had never got before in all his practicings.

As Leslie led Sir Charles before the curtain, in response to the continued demand, he added the concluding stanza, "The dame made a courtesy, The dog made a bow; The dame said, 'Your servant,' The dog said, 'Bow-wow.'" Which, with a suppressed "Speak, sir!" from Frank Scherman, was brought properly to pass.

He and Leslie and Cousin Delight, the Josselyns and the Inglesides, dear Miss Craydocke hurrying up to congratulate, Marmaduke Wharne looking on without a shade of cynicism in the gladness of his face, and Sin Saxon and Frank Scherman flitting up in the pauses of dance and promenade,well, after all, these were the central group that night.

Two wagons, the General's and Dr. Ingleside's two saddle-horses, Frank Scherman's little mountain mare, that climbed like a cat, and was sure-footed as a chamois,these, with a side-saddle for the use of a lady sometimes upon the last, made up the general equipment of the expedition.
