"Ugh!" she said, in a half-whisper, "I can imagine it the meeting-place of 'Tam o' Shanter's' eldritches seeing thisbut, all the same, do you know it is fascinating beyond words to me?

Deinde e cavea caponem emittit, mirantibusque cunctis rem tam ridiculam, per curionem dici jussit, 'Imposturam fecit et passus est': deinde negotiatorem dimisit" (Trebellius in Gallieno, cap.

It even exceeds the celebrated catalogue of dreadful things on the sacramental table in Tam O' Shanter.

Juvenal certainly considers them in this light when he says: Tam vacui capitis populum Phaeaca putavit.

Now bring Tam 'round just as quick as you can.

We're going to see Wallula,to carry her something nice, just as quick as we can go," the little fellow whinnied softly, as if in response; and the next moment, at Molly's "Now, Tam," he started forward at his best pace,a pace that Molly knew so well, and knew she could trust,firm and even and assured, and gaining, gaining, gaining at every step.

As she spoke, Tam flung up his head, pricked up his ears, and made a sudden plunge forward.

But in vain she tried to rein Tam in.

It's Ranger and Barney, Tam!" The pony snorted, as if in scorn, and held on his way.

Was itWhirr, s-st! Down like a shot dropped Tam's head, and like an arrow he leaped forward, swerving sideways to escape the danger he had scented,the danger of a lariat flung by a practised hand.

Oh, Tam, Tam! fly now with all your speed, your mistress understands at last.

She knows now that it is no friendly person following her, but some one who means mischief; and that mischief she has no doubt is the proposed capture of Tam, who is well known for miles and miles about the country as a wonderful little racer.

She has seen in the starlight the lariat as it missed Tam's head, and she knows perfectly well that only Tam's speed and sure-footedness can save them.

Tam drops his head, and plunges forward.

Though the starlight is brighter than ever, Molly does not see the lariat, but there is something, something,what is it?that prompts her to fling herself forward face downwards upon Tam's mane; and the lariat that was about to drop over her head once more falls harmless to the ground, and Tam once more seems to know what danger has been escaped, and starts forward again with an exultant bound.

for just ahead there is a treacherous pitfall which neither Tam nor his mistress sees,a hollow that some little animal has burrowed out, and into this Tam plunges a forefoot, stumbles, and falls! CHAPTER III.

When she came to the point where Tam stumbled and fell forward, she burst out excitedly, "Oh, Lula, Lula!

Tam!' and Tam,oh, I don't know how he did it,Tam got to his feet again, and then he flew, flew, flew over the ground.

And where, oh, where is poor Barney?" "The probability is that the scout visited the corral first, and captured Ranger, who is almost as famous as Tam."

You, Tom, must in the mid-dle stand, And mark the time, with stick in hand; You, bro-ther Ben, the tongs must take, For they will good tri-an-gles make; Hal clicks the 'bones,' and Em-me-line Will beat her lit-tle tam-bour-ine, And cous-in Fred will drum a-way, And Kate the con-cer-ti-na play.

"Keep on blaying, you tam fools!

There the contents will stand, in dirty vessels and a warm place, maturing their exhilarating qualities until the evening, when the Tam o' Shanters and Souter Johnnies of the village begin to assemble and squat in a ring in the open space in front.
