The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain: "Now," says Ben Rogers, "what's the line of busi-

cared for me. My wildest dreams never left me any confidence. Col. Zane and

She sprang to her feet, scattering the daisies over the grass. "For them to

so, for--for I--I don't."
"Very well, then, there is nothing more to be said," answered Alfred, in a
voice that was calm and slightly cold. "I'm sorry if you have been annoyed. I
have been mad, of course, but I promise you that you need fear no further
