30765||||Yet, do you suppose that President Wilson or any||official was the hero of the day?
25968exactly what?
25968exactly when?
25968what kind?
25968And as for the"_ How_?"
25968As soon as we read the word"Fire"we ask,"When?"--"Where?"--"What?"--"Why?"--"How?"
25968But if it were written in this way and the editor decided to slash off the last paragraph, what would go?
25968But which one is of the greater importance?
25968For instance, can we say that"Mr. and Mrs. Smith acted as chaperons"?
25968He does not try to answer the question"_ why_?"
25968He immediately asks where?--what burned?--when?--how much was lost?
25968He must continually ask himself"how many?"
25968If the real news of the story were in the last paragraph it would go in the slashing, and what would be left?
25968In this example, the name overshadows a striking loss of property and the story begins with the answer to_ Who?_| NEW YORK, Nov.
25968It must begin with the most striking part of the event and answer the reader''s_ Where?__ When?__ How?__ Why?_ and_ Who?_ concerning it.
25968It must begin with the most striking part of the event and answer the reader''s_ Where?__ When?__ How?__ Why?_ and_ Who?_ concerning it.
25968It must begin with the most striking part of the event and answer the reader''s_ Where?__ When?__ How?__ Why?_ and_ Who?_ concerning it.
25968It must begin with the most striking part of the event and answer the reader''s_ Where?__ When?__ How?__ Why?_ and_ Who?_ concerning it.
25968It must begin with the most striking part of the event and answer the reader''s_ Where?__ When?__ How?__ Why?_ and_ Who?_ concerning it.
25968Naturally he would be taken to the hospital, but why put the emphasis of the whole sentence on that point?
25968Now, what is the most interesting thing in the story?
25968Question-- Were you there?
25968The answer to_ Where?_ is more interesting than the fire itself.
25968The first important question in the whole matter is"Who does dramatic reporting?"
25968The question"what?"
25968The unusual time would be interesting; the answer to_ When?_ would be the feature.
25968Then why begin with his name when his action is of greater interest to all but a few of our readers?
25968Therefore the reporter begins with the answer to_ What?_ the name of the building, as in the following cases:| GLENS FALLS, N. Y., Aug.
25968Very often action is brought in merely for its human interest; thus:|"How long has it been since you have||had a maid?"
25968Which?
25968Who cares what street the fire was on until he knows more about the fire?
25968Why is this?
25968Why not begin the story in this way and leave something for the rest of the story?
25968Why?
25968|||| Q.--How long were the raw sugar clerks||in your office?
25968|||| Q.--So yours was a busy office?
25968|||| Q.--Were you connected with the docks?
25968|||| Question.--How much money was paid||through your office in the course of a||year?
25968||||"Now, what did your committee do in||1908, when the anti- race track legislation||was pending?"
25968||||"Say, do you know that I have spent||pretty nearly$ 1,000 for strings for that||violin?
25968||||"To whom?"
25968||||"What did it cost you for two rooms and||bath at the Hotel Belmont, where you lived||last year?"
25968||||"What for?"
25968||||"What number?"
25968||||"You are a member of the executive||committee of the Metropolitan Turf||Association?"
25968||||*****||||"How much did you pay in 1908?"

55535You''ll be editor one day, eh?
55535You''ll let me see you home, wo n''t you?
55535_ C''est quelque chose de grave?_she asked.
55535_ Dis donc_,Desirée said,"are you going again?"
55535_ Eh, bien!_said a voice at Humphrey''s elbow,"she is very good, our little Desirée,_ hein_?"
55535_ J''adore les Anglais, ils sont si gentils._"And why can not you stop?
55535_ Qu''est que c''est?_Margot asked, fussily.
55535''Do I_ look_ like a dying man?''
55535''Y a pas chose--''suis sa chose à lui''Y a pas mal-- Quoi?
55535("Have a drink?"
55535("I believe those eyes were saying something to me?")
55535("I wonder what her name is?")
555353 pit: an explosion; a fire--"What is it?
55535A change of voice, a change of expression, a movement of her body-- what was it?
55535A glorious touch, eh?"
55535After all, he thought, was this knowledge?
55535After all, what did it matter?
55535After all, what did it matter?
55535After all, why should n''t he tell Ferrol?
55535And Margaret...?
55535And he thought:"Will my hand be like that one day?"
55535And is n''t it dreadfully difficult to fill the paper?"
55535And now--?
55535And then--"Tommy and I are going to retire soon,"Mrs Pride said, with a fond glance at her husband,"are n''t we, Tommy?"
55535And, as Humphrey left the room, he heard Wratten say casually,"I''ll do that Guildhall luncheon to- day, Rivers, eh?"
55535Anything happened?
55535Are they as bad now?"
55535As bad as the flight to Varennes, is n''t it?"
55535As soon as you marry, what happens?
55535Ask''em who''s Cannock?
55535Barboux continued:"Is it not the most beautiful, the most wonderful, the most entrancing city in the world, young Englishman?"
55535But what of the woman at home?--cooped up in her home with babies?
55535But what''s going to happen to me?"
55535Ca n''t remember it... never mind, I say, old man,_ can_ you spare a bob?"
55535Can you both manage the big one?"
55535Can you imagine anything more peaceful than that book- case?"
55535Can you speak French?"
55535Did n''t you know?...
55535Did you ever speak to her, then?"
55535Do n''t you like being called a boy?"
55535Do n''t you think I hate the idea of never being able to write it as I see it?
55535Do you come often?"
55535Do you see?"
55535Do you think of the glory of the Fatherland and the splendour of dying for France?"
55535Do you think we can live on three pounds a week?"
55535Do you want to go there?"
55535Does all this go towards the making of a man, as the steel is tempered by the fire?
55535Eh?
55535Eh?
55535Eh?"
55535Explain to them, wo n''t you?
55535Go out in the morning and ask people?
55535Had he really taken more than usual care to write his account of their doings?
55535Had she ever been like Lilian?
55535Have n''t you got her?
55535He forgot everything else... what else mattered?
55535He found himself pausing, pen in hand, at his desk in the reporters''room, thinking,"Would Elizabeth be pleased with this?..."
55535He had felt humiliated by her words: did she imagine that he had no heart at all?
55535He made swift calculations-- twelve and seven-- nineteen, and coals-- what of coals?
55535He would ask himself, almost unconsciously,"What does it look like?"
55535He''ll have to pay the cab, Elizabeth, wo n''t he?"
55535His eyes wandered to the buttons.... What_ did_ he want to do?
55535How could one abandon a calling where fortune may change in a moment?
55535How did one"Get On"in the world?
55535How did one_ make_ people talk?
55535How old are you, Beaver?"
55535How?"
55535Humphrey had never said that he was a reporter: how did the policeman know?
55535I mean... would n''t the room be lighter without them?"
55535I shall be able to help you with your work,"he cried, buoyantly,"or will you drop it now?"
55535I''ve done it Will you go through the evening papers?
55535If only Daniel Quain had been there, with his world- wisdom and philosophy.... Tears, Humphrey?
55535Is it that nobleman who came here a few weeks ago?
55535Is it worth a contents bill?"
55535Is there any system in life?
55535It''s funny how few real, social friendships there are in the Street, is n''t it?
55535Let''s go and have supper at the Chariot d''Or.... Will you join us, Mr Quain?"
55535Married, is n''t he?"
55535Miss Filmer, her name was, was n''t it?"
55535Next to the Agency men they''re the most useful people in the world, eh, Beaver?...
55535Odd, is n''t it?
55535Of what avail would all their writing be, if it were not for the men and the machines below?
55535Off Southsea, eh?
55535Or, had there been nothing very special about the story after all, and was her letter merely a courtesy?
55535Or, was it that the vision of her, and the recollection of her earnest eyes, inspired him to better work?
55535Remember that time we had up in Chatsworth, when the Duke...?
55535See?"
55535Seen anything more of that fellow we met in Portsmouth on the Royal visit?...
55535Since that day when Humphrey had first met him in Ferrol''s room, and he had laughed and said,"You''re not a genius, are you?"
55535Tell us?"
55535Then there was always the question of the other correspondents of London newspapers: what were the other fellows sending?
55535Then you hear people saying,''How on earth did he come to marry her?''
55535There''s always room with us, ai n''t there, Tommy?"
55535There''s sure to be a ticket in your office, why do n''t you ask to do it?"
55535These children here will go through their school- days, and then-- what?
55535They soon find out that it''s better to let hubby do the reporting.... Hullo, young man Trinder, what do you want?"
55535They turned at Humphrey''s wavering"Excuse me....""Eh?"
55535Think you''ll be able to do as well as John K. Garton one day?"
55535This''ll be your first, wo n''t it?"
55535Unless what?
55535VI"One lump or two?"
55535Was he?"
55535We''re not going to be married to- morrow, are we?"
55535Were they_ really nice_ people?
55535What are you doing to- day?"
55535What d''you want to know for?"
55535What did London mean to him, then?
55535What did Mr Filmer do?
55535What do you do?
55535What harm will it do?"
55535What mattered anything to them, except that it touched the root of their lives?
55535What of the others-- have any of them done as much good as he has done?"
55535What on earth could have happened?
55535What on earth should he say?
55535What was his name?...
55535What was it?
55535What was the magic key that the other reporters had to unlock the conversation of those whom they went to see?
55535What was their business and what did they achieve?
55535What was there to be done to avoid it?
55535What would Beaver say?
55535What would old Worthing say...?
55535What''s happened?"
55535What''s her name?"
55535What''s his business?"
55535What''s up, old man?"
55535When are you going to get married?"
55535When did that happen?"
55535When?
55535Where would your home be?
55535Who shall explain this extraordinary passion for bulrushes that still holds in its thrall the respectable landladies of England?
55535Who were the Filmers?
55535Who wrote it?
55535Why could he not have told her all that he had felt?
55535Why did you ever leave it?
55535Why do all these people hold meetings?
55535Why not?
55535Why should n''t I have thought as I did at the funeral?
55535Why should n''t you leave now?"
55535Why was it necessary for him to mask and screen his emotions with absurd talk that only seemed to waste precious opportunities?
55535Why?"
55535Wratten,"he said, jovially,"coming up?"
55535Yes, she had remembered him, and nodded to him, and that smile-- what did it mean?
55535You have n''t a father, have you?"
55535You know him?"
55535You were there, were n''t you?"
55535You''ve asked me the question I''m always asking myself-- How is it to be done?"
55535do n''t you think_ I_ feel it too?
55535have you thought of that?
55535he said, hopelessly,"when are we going to get married?
55535nom d''un nom_--to- night?"
55535said the man, looking about him confusedly, and then, with a touch of indignation at being suddenly dragged into the game,"Me?
55535she cried,"is anything the matter with you?"
55535some one would be asking, or"What about Berlin?"...
55535was n''t I in it?"
55535where does she live?"
55535yes; you''ve been on an Easterham paper, have n''t you?"
55535young Quain-- been busy to- day?"
16397A beard on?
16397A letter from your father? 16397 A package?"
16397A signed statement?
16397About me?
16397All ready?
16397And where will it end?
16397And you are going to use that for a clue?
16397Another flying- machine story?
16397Anything new?
16397Anything new?
16397Are they going to fire that at the ship?
16397Are they in any danger?
16397Are you Mah Retto?
16397Are you afraid of having the truth told?
16397Are you following me? 16397 Are you going to Jersey City?"
16397Are you going to tell?
16397Are you looking for Hamden Potter?
16397Are you sure it''s from your father?
16397Are you sure you have n''t made a mistake?
16397Are you sure?
16397Are you up, Newton?
16397But how can he be interested?
16397But how can they remember when they must handle thousands of letters every day?
16397But how could he go out without any clothing?
16397But how did they discover him? 16397 But is he the only one in there?
16397But what sort of a looking man gave you this envelope?
16397But what''s to be done?
16397Ca n''t the life savers do anything?
16397Ca n''t we catch them?
16397Ca n''t you tell in what direction he went?
16397Can I go up now? 16397 Can she stand the trip?"
16397Can you give us his name, and some particulars? 16397 Can you lend me some paper?"
16397Can you see your father?
16397Could n''t I go down to the life- saving station?
16397Could the picture have been stolen?
16397Danger? 16397 Dexter?"
16397Did I misquote you?
16397Did Mr. Emberg send you to see me?
16397Did any of''em make lifts for it?
16397Did he meet you?
16397Did he tell you that?
16397Did n''t you hear anything that might give you a clue to where the men were going?
16397Did you bring me any news?
16397Did you find him? 16397 Did you hear that?"
16397Did you save any?
16397Do I get the interview?
16397Do n''t you want some hot coffee before you go?
16397Do you know anything about the man?
16397Do you know him?
16397Do you know where he is?
16397Do you know where he went to?
16397Do you remember a passenger named Mah Retto, who sailed with you on the_ Olivia_?
16397Do you suppose many are killed?
16397Do you think anyone else knows who Retto is? 16397 Do you think he brings bad news?"
16397Do you think ve vill haff a race?
16397Do you think you''ll be able to do anything?
16397Do you think your husband would let me telegraph these names to my paper?
16397Do you want to say anything about Potter and the new line?
16397Does Mah Retto live here?
16397Does that mean you have nothing to do but to search for my father?
16397Easy enough to say get a good story for to- morrow,he remarked to himself,"but I''d like to know how I''m going to do it?
16397Going to get the boat out?
16397Going to tackle him alone?
16397Gone?
16397Got any folks aboard? 16397 Grace Potter?
16397Guess you feel like eating something, do n''t ye?
16397Have much trouble?
16397Have n''t any of the boys been able to find him?
16397Have you interviewed any more captains who have been wrecked?
16397Have you made up your mind what you want to ask them?
16397Have you room in your car for two?
16397He has, eh?
16397How did Kilburn come to be in the race?
16397How is he?
16397How long had he been there when I came along?
16397How would you like to try your hand at politics?
16397How''s that?
16397How''s that?
16397How?
16397I do n''t suppose you have anything new to tell me?
16397I suppose Miss Grace gave you some information?
16397I suppose you''d like to take a short rest?
16397I want to inquire if there is a Mr. Mah Retto stopping here?
16397I wonder if I can get on their trail?
16397I wonder if he could have suddenly died?
16397I wonder if he knows where my father is?
16397I wonder if that''s Bailey the fisherman?
16397I wonder if they want me to stay here?
16397I wonder what Sullivan will do about it?
16397I wonder whether I ought to telegraph?
16397I wonder who this Potter is, and what all that talk meant?
16397In here, miss?
16397Is Mr. Potter here?
16397Is Mrs. Potter home?
16397Is he-- is he all right?
16397Is he-- is he dead?
16397Is it anything important?
16397Is it possible that Retto is a criminal and had to escape from the sinking ship? 16397 Is it the same as the others?"
16397Is n''t that tip worth something?
16397Is that all?
16397Is the house vacant?
16397Is there a place I could stay all night?
16397Making up another fake interview with Sullivan?
16397May I go aboard her?
16397May we go up now?
16397My part? 16397 No one home?"
16397Notice that black speck, right in line with my boat on the beach?
16397Oh, how are you?
16397Shall I call an ambulance?
16397Shall I put in that about Mr. Potter and the new line?
16397Shall I start now?
16397So that''s how you feel, eh?
16397So that''s the game, eh? 16397 Some men took him away?"
16397Still puzzling over your East Indian, eh?
16397Suppose we should overtake them there?
16397Suppose you ca n''t?
16397That thing that looks like a seagull?
16397That will be good,Larry said,"but are you sure you wo n''t mind me leaving you?"
16397That''s all, but how can you get it to him?
16397Then I suppose it was lost with the_ Olivia_?
16397Then he is found?
16397Then who are you? 16397 Then who could it have been?"
16397Then why did you come?
16397Then you know me?
16397To see me?
16397Vot it is?
16397Was he able to walk very far?
16397Was he with them? 16397 Was it a success?"
16397Was n''t your father interested in building a new line of street railroad?
16397Was there anything suspicious about him?
16397Well, for what?
16397Well?
16397Were you calling me?
16397What I want to discover,he added,"is whether you know of any reason why Retto should be anxious to see you?"
16397What are they?
16397What are they?
16397What are you doing here?
16397What are you going to do next?
16397What are you going to do with Grace?
16397What became of him?
16397What can you do to offset it?
16397What did your mother say?
16397What do you mean?
16397What do you mean?
16397What do you think about this, young man?
16397What does it matter now? 16397 What does this mean?"
16397What for?
16397What for?
16397What for?
16397What for?
16397What had I better do?
16397What in the world is the matter with Harvey and Mack?
16397What is it you wish to inquire about first?
16397What is it?
16397What is it?
16397What is it?
16397What is it?
16397What is it?
16397What is it?
16397What is it?
16397What is it?
16397What is that?
16397What is the matter? 16397 What is the matter?"
16397What is the message?
16397What kind?
16397What luck?
16397What missing man was he looking for?
16397What name?
16397What next?
16397What paper are you from?
16397What shall I do? 16397 What shall I do?"
16397What sort of a man was he?
16397What sort of story is it?
16397What was it? 16397 What was it?"
16397What was queer about him?
16397What''s that?
16397What''s that?
16397What''s the matter with you, Larry?
16397What''s the matter? 16397 What''s the matter?
16397What''s your name?
16397What? 16397 What?"
16397What?
16397When are they coming back?
16397When did Mr. Potter run away?
16397When did you get this, and how did it come?
16397When will you come for me to- morrow?
16397Where are you going?
16397Where did you get it?
16397Where do you think Mr. Potter is? 16397 Where had I better get off?"
16397Where is Sullivan?
16397Where is he? 16397 Where is he?"
16397Where is he?
16397Where is the envelope?
16397Where is the letter?
16397Where is the wreck?
16397Where is your mother?
16397Where ought I to go?
16397Where you going?
16397Where''s your copy?
16397Where?
16397Whiskers?
16397Who are they?
16397Who is he?
16397Who is he?
16397Who is it?
16397Who is she?
16397Who wants him? 16397 Who would have thought it?
16397Why did n''t they get the people off before this?
16397Why did n''t you come when I called you?
16397Why do n''t you look where you''re going?
16397Why do you ask?
16397Why do you think that?
16397Why not go now?
16397Why should Retto want to see Captain Tantrella?
16397Why, do you know where to find him, Mr. Hogan? 16397 Why?
16397Why? 16397 Will it do Eagle Rock hill, Fritsch?"
16397Will she stand it?
16397Will you be gone long, Larry?
16397Will you let me take it to the sub- station?
16397Will you? 16397 Will you?
16397Wonder where he got his razor? 16397 Wondering how I took your measure, are n''t you?"
16397Would he give you-- er-- a''story''? 16397 Would you like to see him?
16397Yes; but what?
16397Yet if that was so, I ca n''t see how Mr. Potter could write in the letter, as he did, that I was getting too close to him? 16397 You go along and mind your own business; do you hear?
16397You have n''t seen him in the neighborhood, have you?
16397You mean you will not?
16397You wanted to see me?
16397You wanted to see that patient who was brought in from the steamship pier?
16397You wished to see me?
16397You-- you do n''t suspect me, do you?
16397You-- you''re not going to put that in, are you?
16397Young lady to speak to me?
16397Your father?
16397And I wonder what Sullivan''s game was?
16397And you ca n''t see him?
16397Are you afraid to go back alone?"
16397Are you spying on me?
16397Are you sure he wants, me, Peterson?"
16397Are you sure it''s him?
16397Are you sure your mother will let you go?"
16397As Larry moved away he heard one of the men remark:"Wonder if he''s a newspaper man?"
16397But are my clothes dry?"
16397But are you going to call on him?"
16397But if he has done something that would necessitate him keeping out of the way, how can he aid Mr. Potter?
16397But was he not lost?
16397But what good will that do?"
16397CHAPTER II ASHORE ON A RAFT"What''s that?"
16397CHAPTER V LARRY''S SCOOP"Are there many women aboard?"
16397CHAPTER XIII WHERE IS HE?
16397CHAPTER XVI SULLIVAN''S QUEER ACCUSATION"Whom did you say it was?"
16397Ca n''t they bring him home?"
16397Can you do it?"
16397Comfortable, eh?
16397Could n''t I go around with you-- that is to the steamer piers?
16397Could n''t I?
16397Did you----?"
16397Do you expect to see Mr. Potter come walking down the steps?
16397Do you think it is really he?"
16397Does it concern your friends, Kilburn and Reilly?
16397Finally, after several false alarms, the bell rang and the city editor, grabbing up the portable telephone, cried out:"Yes?
16397Grover?"
16397Had he worked so hard only to be beaten at the last?
16397Hamden Potter''s daughter?"
16397Has it anything to do with the new line?
16397Has the man who was here yesterday been back?"
16397Have they taken him away?"
16397Have we any one there?"
16397Have you come to tell me of my husband?"
16397Have you got a story for us to- day?"
16397Have you got it all alone?"
16397Have you got the story?"
16397Have you lost track of him?"
16397Have you seen the_ Scorcher_?"
16397He at once knew him for a stranger, and quickly inquired:"What do you want, young man?"
16397He leaned over the balustrade and called down:"Any luck, Storg?"
16397How about the wreck?"
16397How about you, Larry?"
16397How did it come about?"
16397How did it come?
16397How did it happen?
16397How in the world did you do it?
16397How is he?"
16397How should I?"
16397How''s your mother and the children?"
16397I mean anyone on the pier who saw him hurt?"
16397I want to know where Mr. Potter is?"
16397I wonder if Grace is better?"
16397I wonder if Retto could have left the hotel to go and see him?"
16397I wonder if he left any clues behind?"
16397I wonder if he recognized Retto?
16397I wonder what Grace wanted?
16397I wonder what I had better do?"
16397I wonder what happened to him?"
16397I wonder what he means?
16397I wonder what paper he''s on?
16397I wonder where he can be, or why he disappeared?
16397I wonder who he was?
16397Is he badly hurt?
16397Is he badly hurt?"
16397Is he home?"
16397Is he-- is he?
16397Is that his writing?"
16397Is that what you call it?"
16397Is this Mr. Sullivan?
16397Is this a picture of him?"
16397It was from Grace Potter, and read:"Ca n''t you come down to Lakewood for a few days?
16397Jackson?"
16397May I keep this note?"
16397May we go up now?"
16397May we see him?"
16397Maype ve walk through him, yah?"
16397Now what do you want?"
16397Now what for?
16397Now what sensation are you going to give us to- day?"
16397Now when did he disappear?
16397Now, what I want to know is, in what box was that letter posted?"
16397Oh, Mr. Sullivan?
16397Oh, is that you, Harvey?
16397Our account is about correct, eh?
16397Potter?"
16397Potter?"
16397Potter?"
16397Potter?"
16397Potter?"
16397Potter?"
16397Really?
16397Reported to the police as missing?
16397Shall we start?"
16397So there''s no one home, eh?
16397Some of the men from other papers try to get the best of you?"
16397Sullivan?"
16397Suppose Grace gets a clue from Captain Padduci?
16397The Potter family home, and you ca n''t see Mr. Potter?
16397The young reporter uttered an exclamation before he was aware of it, and Grace quickly asked:"What''s the matter?"
16397Then a voice asked:"Who''s there?"
16397Then aloud:"Did he recognize Mr. Ret-- er I mean the man with the fractured skull?"
16397This is the reporter''s form of greeting to almost everyone he meets, and means:"Have you any news for me?"
16397WHERE IS HE?
16397Was the house shut up while you were in Europe?"
16397What are you doing?"
16397What are you hiding for?
16397What are you in front of Mr. Potter''s house for?"
16397What did he mean?"
16397What do you mean about breaking her back?"
16397What do you mean?"
16397What do you mean?"
16397What do you think about it yourself, Larry?"
16397What do you want?
16397What have you got?"
16397What is the matter?
16397What is the matter?"
16397What more can we do?"
16397What shall I say?"
16397What was he to do?
16397What''s that?
16397What''s that?
16397When you got back to the house was there any evidence that your father had been here ahead of you?
16397Where have you been?"
16397Where in the world have you been?
16397Where is he now?
16397Where is he?
16397Where is he?
16397Where is he?"
16397Where is her father?
16397Where you going?"
16397Who brought it?
16397Who did it?
16397Who is he?
16397Who is he?
16397Who is he?"
16397Why not?
16397Why?"
16397Will you stay here and be at hand in case I want you?"
16397Will you stay in the room with me?"
16397With night coming on, the wreck almost half a mile out, and it coming on to blow like all possessed?"
16397You remember we were talking the other night about a strange man that you thought was in here?"
16397You say you have?
16397he murmured, and, glancing quickly at Larry, he asked:"Who is Mr. Potter?
11263A telegraph messenger?
11263A trip round the world?
11263Agreed,said I;"but if there is no danger under this head, are there not a lot of scoundrels prowling about Mongolia and Northern China?"
11263An exalted personage?
11263And at Kachgar?
11263And do they only speak Chinese?
11263And do you know what line these players are in?
11263And do you know why, Monsieur Bombarnac? 11263 And for the convenience of the guards, I suppose?
11263And for your temperament, doctor?
11263And how do you know that? 11263 And how is Asia to be united by railway with Africa?"
11263And how long would the line be?
11263And how?
11263And in what way?
11263And it is?
11263And medresses?
11263And no accident up to now? 11263 And no one suspected the presence of my dear Kinko?"
11263And so, this mandarin, Yen Lou?
11263And that is?
11263And the English?
11263And the Russians in charge of the train are replaced by Chinese, are they not?
11263And the Straits of Gibraltar?
11263And the second?
11263And the wife?
11263And these two Chinese, do you know them?
11263And what can he do? 11263 And what has it got in it?"
11263And what may be in those cases, if you please? 11263 And when does it get there?"
11263And when shall we be at the frontier?
11263And where are the four Mongols who were in the rear van?
11263And where are these lyrical people going?
11263And where is his friend Ghangir?
11263And where were you before you left France?
11263And why not the old one first? 11263 And why will you never forget Khodjend, Monsieur Caterna?"
11263And why?
11263And why?
11263And why?
11263And with that name is he going to Pekin?
11263And you are going to Pekin?
11263And you think these scoundrels will be daring enough to attack the train?
11263And you went back to Bucharest?
11263And you, Kinko?
11263And your cases?
11263Are all your goods on board?
11263Are the stations very far from each other?
11263Are you ever seasick?
11263Are you going for a run round the town, Monsieur Claudius?
11263Are you subject to seasickness?
11263Are you sure that Kardek is at the points?
11263Are you surprised?
11263Baron Weissschnitzerdörfer?
11263Baron Weissschnitzerdörfer?
11263Before we begin,said Pan Chao,"tell me, doctor, how many fundamental rules there are for finding the correct amounts of food and drink?"
11263Betray you, my boy? 11263 Beyond?"
11263Birds that talk--"What-- parrots?
11263Breakfast?
11263But I wonder how the train could have got on the Nanking branch without being noticed?
11263But how could the chief be informed of the treasure being sent?
11263But who was this Tamerlane?
11263But you have lived in France?
11263But,said Pan- Chao,"how does it happen the Nanking branch was open when the Tjon viaduct is not finished?
11263Dead?
11263Do you forget that those millions would be a temptation to scoundrels? 11263 Do you know that German''s name?"
11263Do you see these peaches?
11263Do you think Major Noltitz would consent?
11263Ephrinell?
11263Excellent?
11263Explore it?
11263Fourteen ounces of solid or liquid--"An hour?
11263Frenchman? 11263 Going all the way to Pekin?"
11263Have they not told you?
11263Have you forgotten it? 11263 Have you much?"
11263He consents?
11263He-- the manager of the Transasiatic?
11263How can I repay you?
11263How far is it to Fuen Choo?
11263How long do we stop at?
11263How so?
11263I believe I am, Monsieur Claudius,said the actor,"and why?
11263I believe you, Kinko, I believe you; and on your arrival at Pekin?
11263I have no doubt of it; but how am I to know it?
11263I hope you have lost nothing, Monsieur Ephrinell?
11263I want you to be a witness--"An affair of honor? 11263 If they find me out?"
11263In the train?
11263In this box?
11263In those cases? 11263 In what way have they looked upon the progress of the Russians through Central Asia?"
11263Is Madame Caterna to come to the wedding?
11263Is it Ki- Tsang and his gang that we have to do with?
11263Is it a lovely dream that dazes me, or am I awake?
11263Is it of any real use, this wall of China?
11263Is it the day after to- morrow,he asked,"that we arrive at Pekin?"
11263Is not its mouth near Tien Tsin, where the baron thinks of catching the mail for Yokohama?
11263Is that a green light?
11263Is that in time to catch the boat for Uzun Ada?
11263Is there a refreshment bar in the station?
11263Kinko? 11263 Mademoiselle Zinca-- Kinko--""He asked you to come and tell me he had arrived?"
11263Marry her?
11263May I ask how many teeth you are importing into China in those cases?
11263Mr. Bombarnac,said Ephrinell to me,"are you serious in regretting all those fine things?"
11263No one can see us, nor hear us?
11263Oak, I admit, but sentimental--"Do you know why the baron has patronized the Grand Transasiatic?
11263Poor brute? 11263 Popof, where is that van going?"
11263Practical, Mr. Reporter? 11263 Same trade?"
11263See here,said Madame Caterna,"is there any need of a subscription to defray the cost of the affair?"
11263Serious?
11263Shall I tell you what I think about that couple, Monsieur Bombarnac?
11263Sir,said he to me,"are two Frenchmen going all the way from Baku to Pekin without making each other''s acquaintance?"
11263Sir,says a good little Jew to me, showing me a certain habitation which seems a very ordinary one,"you are a stranger?"
11263So that we shall have Chinese engine drivers and stokers? 11263 That will not delay us?"
11263The guard?
11263The manager of the company who so courageously drove off the bandits and killed their chief Ki- Tsang with his own hand?
11263The most curious thing, Adolphe? 11263 The younger Dumas after Sainte Beuve?"
11263Then I beg to ask why you, a sailor, did not go by way of the sea?
11263Then you will not forget to explore the establishment of Strong, Bulbul& Co.?
11263There has been a crime-- a crime intended to bring about the destruction of the train and passengers--"And with what object?
11263These papers-- how have they gone astray? 11263 This Tio- King?"
11263To appear at Shanghai in the French troupe at the residency as--"You know all that, then?
11263To marry-- Mademoiselle Zinca--"Zinca?
11263Was there a young lady with us?
11263Well, Monsieur Bombarnac, if I am not taking too great a liberty, may I ask a favor of you?
11263Well, Monsieur Bombarnac,asked the major,"do you not admire the square?"
11263Well, Popof, when this exalted personage gets out perhaps you will let me know?
11263Well,said I to the Yankee,"how are you getting on with your cargo?"
11263Well,said I to the major,"I hope you have abandoned your suspicions with regard to my lord Faruskiar?"
11263What are they for?
11263What do you think?
11263What has it got in it? 11263 What is he to do?"
11263What is it about?
11263What is it?
11263What is that?
11263What is the matter, Popof?
11263What is the matter, Popof?
11263What is the matter? 11263 What is your name?"
11263What marriage?
11263What may that be, an arba?
11263What traveling companion?
11263What would you have had us do, sir? 11263 What would you have, Caroline?"
11263What would you have, Monsieur Bombarnac?
11263What would you have?
11263What? 11263 When is there a train for Baku?"
11263When shall we be at the junction?
11263Where, then? 11263 Who is he?"
11263Who knows what the dining- car kitchen will give us on the Chinese railways? 11263 Why not, Monsieur Claudius?
11263Why not? 11263 Why not?"
11263Why not?
11263Will Major Noltitz and you allow me to join you?
11263Yes, Gibraltar?
11263Yes, to work at my trade there until the day came when it was impossible for me to resist the desire to leave--"To leave? 11263 Yes-- but-- you understand-- he is very tired after so long a journey--""Tired?"
11263Yes-- pay the carriage--"It will not be long now?
11263You are a Frenchman?
11263You are going to Baku?
11263You are not unwell, Madame Caterna?
11263You know my name?
11263You know?
11263You must have been a good deal about the world, Monsieur Caterna?
11263You saw me?
11263You will come to our country some day?
11263A cat?
11263A cupboard I propose to open?
11263A dog?
11263A panther, a tiger, a lion?
11263A visit to the passengers and their baggage?
11263All?
11263Am I in my right senses?
11263An animal?
11263And Baron Weissschnitzerdörfer?
11263And Faruskiar, whom Major Noltitz so unjustly suspected?
11263And Kinko, what about him?"
11263And as to the section between the frontier and Pekin?"
11263And can you believe that I, a journalist--""You are a journalist?"
11263And for him, as for all other theatrical folks, is not the money the most serious and the least disputable manifestation of the dramatic art?
11263And if he could not be understood, what explanation could he give?
11263And in the first place of Major Noltitz?
11263And is not the box a cupboard?
11263And is not the young Roumanian like a snail in his shell, for it is as much as he can do to get out of it?
11263And is there not a good deal of landscape about geography?
11263And so, Monsieur Caterna--""You know my name?"
11263And the baron, what has become of him?
11263And to begin with, at what o''clock did the train for Tiflis start from the Caspian?
11263And was that the only way-- a desperate way-- of stopping the train before it reached the viaduct?
11263And was there anything astonishing in that, considering that the newspapers, even those of Paris, had published the fact many days before?
11263And what are they saying?
11263And what could this young Roumanian do who did not know a word of Chinese, but explain matters in the sign language?
11263And what is it these big people make?
11263And who is this Kardek they are talking about?
11263And why are these houses always in a state of defence?
11263And why should they not be, considering that they take the name of"zenbusis,"which signifies"women''s kisses?"
11263And with whom, if you please?"
11263And, Monsieur Ephrinell, when you read of traveling in Transcaucasia forty years ago, do you not regret it?
11263Are there stores of these things at the principal stations of the Transcaspian?
11263Are they not descended from them?
11263Are they suspicious of Kinko?
11263As I put my foot on the platform I hear the young Chinese say to his companion:"Well, Dr. Tio- King, did you see the German with his performing hat?
11263As soon as Popof reappeared I said to him:"Anything fresh?"
11263At Sou Tcheou or Lan Tcheou, while we stop a few hours?"
11263At this moment Popof says to me:"Are you not going to sleep to- night, Monsieur Bombarnac?"
11263Bombarnac?"
11263But am I in Persia or in Russia?
11263But are there not any Europeans in this Grand Transasiatic train?
11263But how will the poor fellow take it?
11263But is it a man or a woman?
11263But is not thirty hours enough to make Baron Weissschnitzerdörfer lose the mail from Tient- Tsin to Yokohama?
11263But we can not yet have reached Gheok Tepe?
11263But what are they doing there?
11263But what is he doing now?
11263But what is that I hear being recited, or rather intoned at the end of our compartment?
11263But what was there in these two missing vans which could be of interest to them?
11263But what would you have?
11263But whether this van started or did not start, whether it was attached to our train or left behind, what could it matter to him?
11263But whither did this bell invite the witnesses and guests?
11263But why is Popof not in his seat?
11263But why should I have doubted what Popof told me, and why should Popof have suspected what the Persians had told him regarding this Yen Lou?
11263By its light what do I read?
11263By the by, you have not met our traveling companion?"
11263Can a Yankee wait?"
11263Caroline, can not you imagine him as''Morales''in the_ Pirates of the Savannah_?"
11263Caterna?"
11263Could anything be more ridiculous than this Russian mismanagement?
11263Did the Chinaman speak the language of Boccaccio?
11263Did you say nothing?
11263Do you want a light or a fire?
11263Does he know them?
11263During my promenade, one thought besets me: is the voyage to end without my getting anything out of it as copy for my journal?
11263Empty?
11263Encouragements?
11263Ephrinell?"
11263Fail in what, considering that he is going to Pekin?
11263For what motive are they on the platform which is just behind the tender?
11263Fulk Ephrinell and Miss Horatia Bluett?
11263Had Kinko been found in his box?
11263Had he alighted at one of the small stations between Tchertchen and Tcharkalyk, where we ought to have been about one o''clock in the afternoon?
11263Had he begun to suspect him?
11263Had the Mongol brought some news which had made them throw off their usual reserve and gravity?
11263Had the fraud been discovered?
11263Had the switch been interfered with?"
11263Has Popof obtained from the mutes who are on guard the name of this high personage?
11263Has he given us the slip?
11263Has he got away?
11263Has he slipped out at one of the stations without my seeing him?
11263Has it not a right to be so called?
11263Has my news gone with him?
11263Has the Hunson the same properties as the Garonne?
11263He will not only be sent to prison, but the bastinado--""The bastinado-- like that idiot Zizel in_ Si j''etais Roi?
11263How could I tell this unfortunate girl that her sweetheart would never reach Pekin station?
11263How far off are they?
11263How long have I slept?
11263How long will it last?
11263How otherwise could the fair Celestials admire their almond eyes and their elaborate hair?
11263How will this late comer get on board?
11263How would he submit to this examination?
11263How would they dare-- six strong-- to attack a hundred passengers, including the Chinese guard?
11263I a traveler in news, and he a traveler in-- In what?
11263I ask Popof what is meant by the governor''s presence, has it anything to do with us?
11263I asked,"who are they?"
11263I exclaimed,"and Miss Horatia Bluett, the Englishwoman?
11263I have a presentiment that something is in the wind Perhaps by listening?
11263I must know at all costs to whom this wild beast is being sent; is it going to Uzon Ada, or is it going to China?
11263I said to Major Noltitz:"If it is not trespassing on your kindness, may I ask you to go with me?"
11263I was not mistaken, then; they are compatriots, but of what class?
11263I will help her to get the nails out of it--""The nails out of it, Monsieur Bombarnac?
11263If an American commercial and an English ditto were not in order, who would be?
11263In this van?"
11263Is he going towards the gate to escape me?
11263Is it a reply to my wire sent from Merv, relative to the mandarin Yen Lou?
11263Is it a wild animal?
11263Is it credible?
11263Is it iron bridges, or locomotives, or armor plates, or steam boilers, or mining pumps?
11263Is it not a happy chance-- and a rare one-- to meet with French people away from France?
11263Is it not written in Chinese characters?
11263Is it possible that I shall have to do without the company of any of my numbers?
11263Is it possible?
11263Is it some Chinese formality?
11263Is it the influence of the surroundings which produces the increase of the birth rate?
11263Is it to renew his provisions at the refreshment bar?
11263Is my man not here?
11263Is she a young woman or an old girl?
11263Is she old?
11263Is she plain?
11263Is she pretty?
11263Is she young?
11263Is the poor fellow ill?"
11263Is the province affected by the prolific example of the Celestial Empire?
11263Is this an advantage or otherwise?
11263Is this lady going to be my companion all the way to the terminus of the Grand Transasiatic?
11263It becomes more distinct, and I ask if the panel is going to slide, if the prisoner is coming out of his prison to breathe the fresh air?
11263Labiche, could you ever have imagined that this adorable composition would one day charm passengers in distress on the Grand Transasiatic?
11263Linen?
11263Makes you feel easy?"
11263Must I have recourse to the German baron?
11263My Lord Faruskiar?
11263My head swims-- Is it true we are running towards the abyss?
11263My intention is to take notes hour by hour-- what did I say?
11263My panel?
11263No; there is only one way--""And what is that?"
11263Not an adventure from Tiflis to Pekin?
11263Now he interrupted Popof, and in a voice heard by all he asked:"Where is Faruskiar?"
11263Now it is Manchoo; what it is to be next what matters?
11263Now the road is clear to Tcharkalyk; what do I say?
11263On the contrary, is not his intention, as I am afraid it is, to get away from us?
11263Only to a certain extent?
11263Ought I not to tell Popof?
11263Ought I to attempt to see him to- night?
11263Perhaps he would have become a Genghis Khan?
11263Perhaps the sons of Israel are not masters in this country, as in so many others?
11263Perhaps two eyes are looking through these holes, watching what is going on outside?
11263Provisions?
11263Shall I be present at one of those merry- makings which charm the tourist?
11263Shall I exchange a sympathetic salute with her in the streets of Pekin?
11263Shall I see one of those villages inhabited by Cossacks who are soldiers and farmers at one and the same time?
11263Shall I send it by telegram to our cabinet ministers?
11263Shall I speak, shall I not speak?
11263Shall I stop him?
11263Shall I wait till it is extinct, or, as is very probable, will it not last till the morning?
11263Shall we be obliged to take refuge in the vans, as behind the walls of a fortress, to entrench ourselves, to fight until the last has succumbed?
11263Should I not call the attention of the stationmaster to this disquieting case?
11263Suppose it is Zeitung who makes a trade of this sort of thing and manages to make a little money out of public generosity?
11263Suppose the case is passed?
11263Supposing I were superstitious?
11263Surely the general manager of the line ought to keep an eye on the illustrious defunct, entrusted to the care of the Grand Transasiatic?
11263That respiration, that sneeze; had I dreamed it all?
11263The Nanking branch?
11263The actor and the actress?
11263The box will be taken to Avenue Cha- Coua, and she--""Will pay the carriage?"
11263The case is lighted within; if I were to peep through those holes?
11263The major said to me in a low voice:"Why Ki- Tsang?
11263The railroad not finished-- and they sold me a through ticket from Tiflis to Pekin?
11263The readers of the_ Twentieth Century_ will ask how are the furnaces fed in a country in which there is neither coal nor wood?
11263The switch over?
11263The two Celestials?
11263There, at the end of the streets near the citadel, what do we see?
11263These valves and levers, what shall we do with them?
11263They are some of the passengers, evidently; but why here-- at this hour?
11263To find out who are my traveling companions, whence they come, where they go, is that not the duty of a special correspondent in search of interviews?
11263Useless eloquence?
11263Was I deceived on board the_ Astara_?
11263Was he arrested?
11263Was he in prison?
11263Was he not entitled to consider that the Russo- Chinese railways were the very apex of absurdity and disorder?
11263Was his imagination working with the same activity as mine, and was he taking seriously what was only a joke on my part?
11263Was it any business of his?
11263Was it by chance?
11263Was it for that reason that at Donchak they had so carefully watched the van which contained the corpse?
11263Was it not for the purpose of robbing the train that we were attacked between Tchertchen and Tcharkalyk?"
11263Was it the mandarin, Yen Lou?
11263Was there no one in the case, not even Zeitung?
11263Was this an article in request at the shops of the Middle Kingdom?
11263We are in wedding garments, and it is a pity to have had all this fuss for nothing, is n''t it, Caroline?"
11263Well, would you believe it?
11263Were not subscriptions opened in their favor?
11263Were these really glass goods exported to Miss Zinca Klork, Avenue Cha- Coua, Pekin, China?
11263What adventures they have had since we left Tiflis?
11263What an indefatigable humorist is our actor?
11263What do I say?
11263What does he mean?
11263What had been arranged?
11263What had happened?
11263What is the good of coal when the bare and arid soil of Apcheron, which grows only the Pontic absinthium, is so rich in mineral oil?
11263What is the matter?"
11263What is this gentleman going to do?
11263What switch?
11263What was he thinking about?
11263What was the meaning of this Italian word in an Oriental mouth?
11263What was to be done?
11263What will he think to find me here?
11263What would you have?
11263What would you haye?
11263What, my young Roumanian did not perish in the explosion?
11263What?
11263What?
11263What?
11263Whence comes this noise?
11263Where does the train stop next?"
11263Where is Ephrinell?
11263Where is Faruskiar?
11263Where is there not a Hôtel de France?
11263Who knows if we may not meet Faruskiar and his Mongols on the road?"
11263Why did Major Noltitz ask the Chinaman this question?
11263Why do they continue to look out over the immense desert?
11263Why have they hidden a domestic animal in this case?
11263Why is he shaking, and bending, and diving into his pockets like a man who has lost something valuable?
11263Why not my lord Faruskiar?"
11263Why not resume the marriage ceremony interrupted by the attack on the train?
11263Why not?
11263Why pursue them, now that the battle has ended in our favor?
11263Why should I hide it from myself?
11263Why should I not confess it?
11263Why this escape?
11263Why?"
11263Will I buy any?
11263Will it be believed that these peculiar Orientals can see no progress in this prohibition to beat their wives?
11263Will it be put hind side before or upside down?
11263Will its position be shifted?
11263Will they not be more intent on the security of their dividends than of their passengers?
11263Will you come with me?"
11263With regard to my newspaper, and that telegram relative to the mandarin our train is"conveying"in the funereal acceptation of the word?
11263Without going back to Marco Polo in the thirteenth century, what do we find?
11263Without it, what would become of the eloquence of our legislators?"
11263Would it not, Fulk?"
11263Would they catch him?
11263You are a Frenchman?"
11263You are a Roumanian, are you not?"
11263You have noticed the gentleman in our train?"
11263asked Caterna,"what is the right quantity?"
11263do not be alarmed--""Is he ill?"
11263he exclaims,"that that drunken moujik actually asked me for something to drink?"
11263how do you know that?"
11263said I, laughing at the thought which crossed my mind,"if that is--""Who?"
11263to Pekin?
16447''Strictly and absol''--see here, did you ever read''The Wrecker''?
16447A detective?
16447A little blackmail on the side, eh?
16447A little cleaning- up, maybe? 16447 A reporter?"
16447About which I shall doubtless hear to- morrow?
16447After this, you tell me that you ca n''t, you wo n''t?
16447Agony Parlors?
16447Ah; but when was that?
16447Ai n''t I tellin''you I''m through with that game? 16447 All of it?"
16447Am I an amateur Cupid, or what''s my cue?
16447Am I going to die?
16447Am I require at the factory?
16447Am I to have my price?
16447Am-- am I that to you?
16447An explosion?
16447And afterward?
16447And are buried?
16447And are you going to the office now?
16447And does young Surtaine give you inside glimpses of the machinery of his business?
16447And if I do, what then?
16447And if he does n''t?
16447And is the Board of Health satisfied?
16447And is the editor often kind and obliging?
16447And it''s as bad everywhere as here? 16447 And my privileges?"
16447And now, suppose I offered to leave the check in your hands?
16447And now, what about a little reading notice for McQuiggan''s proposition?
16447And now?
16447And she''s got typhus?
16447And that appeals to you?
16447And that is all?
16447And that the''Clarion''ca n''t afford to touch the thing at all? 16447 And the German family at the top?"
16447And the news of the outside world?
16447And the picture?
16447And then--''Try Certina,''eh?
16447And were n''t you just as bad as you seemed?
16447And what does Science so far from its placid haunts?
16447And what earthly good does it do to print stuff like those shoplifting cases? 16447 And what is your diagnosis, Doctor?"
16447And what was she to you? 16447 And what''s the use of printing that sort of thing, anyway?
16447And you call that decent journalism?
16447And you did n''t break it because of him?
16447And you did n''t know him at first?
16447And you heard what I said?
16447And you intend to print it?
16447And you need n''t say,''Was it?'' 16447 And you think that is all that''s necessary?"
16447And your soothing, balmy oils for cancer? 16447 Andy?
16447Any message?
16447Any one waiting to see me, Jim?
16447Any other orders to- day?
16447Anything more?
16447Anything more?
16447Anyway, tone your article down, wo n''t you, Boy- ee?
16447Are n''t they well treated?
16447Are n''t we going through?
16447Are n''t you afraid of contagious diseases?
16447Are n''t you afraid?
16447Are they dry?
16447Are we going into the mixing- room?
16447Are we talking about business? 16447 Are we to sit still and--""Is it?"
16447Are you as busy as all that, Dad?
16447Are you asking me to suppress the epidemic story?
16447Are you going to be?
16447Are you going to let people know that it''s typhus?
16447Are you going to marry Hugh?
16447Are you going to run the paper, Doc?
16447Are you going to take that woman''s money?
16447Are you in pain, Boyee?
16447Are you not going to get me any supper?
16447Are you ready for this? 16447 Are you responsible for this?"
16447Are you scattering the blessings of Certina amongst a grateful proletariat?
16447Are you sure that John M. Gibbs is back of that sewing- girl ad?
16447Are you sure?
16447Are you the editor?
16447Are you vain, Hal? 16447 Are you very busy, Miss Neal?"
16447Are you warm enough?
16447Are you-- have you been''bad,''as you call it?
16447Are you? 16447 Are your hands so clean, then?"
16447At what hour does the victim''s dying shriek rend the quivering air?
16447Away? 16447 Because of that old agreement?"
16447Because she''s one of us?
16447Been feeding with our representative citizens, eh?
16447Been reading that slush, Hal?
16447Been through the plant yet? 16447 Better''phone the coroner''s office, eh?"
16447Bewitched, Hal?
16447Booze?
16447Bought in? 16447 Brain- food?"
16447Bringing him up to the trade, eh?
16447But afterward?
16447But are you beating it out?
16447But ca n''t we do something in the mean time?
16447But for him?
16447But how can it be? 16447 But how could I come?"
16447But what interest have you in saving the''Clarion''?
16447But what possible good will it do?
16447But where are we to get revolvers on a Sunday night?
16447But why?
16447But you were so immersed in your floral designs-- What kind of a play is it?
16447But you''d take my word?
16447But you''re enjoying yourself, are n''t you?
16447But your own part in this?
16447But, Dad,queried Hal, with an effort of puzzled reminiscence,"in the old days Certina was n''t a kidney remedy, was it?"
16447But-- stanch, do you think?
16447By the way, where''s Young Hopeful?
16447By the way,said McGuire Ellis,"how do you like the paper?"
16447By whom?
16447Ca n''t he? 16447 Ca n''t you control your own son?"
16447Ca n''t you see that makes it all the worse, in a way? 16447 Ca n''t you see?"
16447Ca n''t you sue them for libel, Dad?
16447Ca n''t? 16447 Call myself?
16447Can we do it, Mac?
16447Can you blame him? 16447 Can you find the copy?
16447Can you prove the facts?
16447Can you pull it through, Boss?
16447Can you save him? 16447 Certina?"
16447Changed the formula, have you? 16447 Changed?
16447Circumstances?
16447Come down to see the old slave at work, eh?
16447Coming? 16447 Compounding the medicine, you mean?"
16447Couch? 16447 Could n''t you tell me that without a cane?"
16447Could yeh sell me half a bottle to try it, sir?
16447Could you look into it for us; for the''Clarion''?
16447Courtesy of the profession? 16447 Cure?
16447D''you think I like it?
16447D''you think I''m made of money?
16447Dad, do you want a retraction printed?
16447Dad, when you made your report for the''Clarion''did you tell us all you knew?
16447Dad, you believe I''m honest, do n''t you?
16447Did Dr. Surtaine send you here with that thing?
16447Did I kill him?
16447Did I really hear them sweet words in Andy Certain''s voice? 16447 Did I?"
16447Did he get the press?
16447Did he get the press?
16447Did he hurt Dad?
16447Did he? 16447 Did he_ have_ to print it?"
16447Did her father tell her?
16447Did n''t Festus tell you?
16447Did n''t I offer fair and square to match you for his soul? 16447 Did n''t he?
16447Did n''t live there, did you?
16447Did n''t you know I was a little sister of the poor? 16447 Did the law hurt our trade much?"
16447Did the''Clarion''do that?
16447Did you ask her if she was exceeding the speed limit?
16447Did you break it for the same reason that drove you into it?
16447Did you bring the proofs?
16447Did you dance with Will Douglas?
16447Did you design it?
16447Did you ever fail of anything when you put on that wheedling face and tone?
16447Did you get the message I sent you about Letter Number Seven?
16447Did you give me away to him?
16447Did you happen to notice about the prettiest thing that ever used eyes for weapons, in the hall?
16447Did you obey a royal command and go to his office?
16447Did you order it killed?
16447Did you see his interview in the''Telegram''?
16447Did you see that?
16447Did you speak?
16447Did you think it was queer?
16447Did you think your son was Milly Neal''s lover? 16447 Did you want me?"
16447Did you want to see me?
16447Did you? 16447 Did-- he-- get-- the-- press?"
16447Die? 16447 Do I get an answer to my question?"
16447Do I get you righd?
16447Do I go too far, since you have let me kiss you?
16447Do I look thirty- five? 16447 Do I understand that Certina--""Say, wassa matter?"
16447Do I understand you to say that this attack is due to your refusal to advertise in the''Clarion''?
16447Do I? 16447 Do all newspapers carry that kind of stuff?"
16447Do kidneys have seasons?
16447Do many people ask favors of an editor?
16447Do n''t I always confess my good actions?
16447Do n''t I? 16447 Do n''t he own the town?"
16447Do n''t it?
16447Do n''t want to match? 16447 Do n''t you have to keep a check on the mixing, to make sure it''s right?"
16447Do n''t you know the Rookeries?
16447Do n''t you promise, with your Relief Pills to get women out of trouble?
16447Do n''t you recall where?
16447Do n''t you say in the advertisements that Certina will cure it?
16447Do n''t you want me to go into it, Dad?
16447Do the writers of those letters-- symp- letters, I believe, you call them--he began;"do they seem to get benefit out of the advice returned?"
16447Do they expect to get money out of you this way?
16447Do they? 16447 Do we go in?"
16447Do you deny what the editor of the''Standard''said about Certina?
16447Do you get that''and mine''? 16447 Do you know that-- you who know everybody''s business?"
16447Do you know the nickname of this paper?
16447Do you know what a Hardscrabbler is, Ellis?
16447Do you know what an Old Home Week is?
16447Do you know what they''ll call you if you print that? 16447 Do you know what you''re doing?"
16447Do you know who''s really responsible for that tenement? 16447 Do you know_ who_ the Sewing Aid Association is?"
16447Do you mean you''re going to run the paper honestly?
16447Do you mind telling me why?
16447Do you often go out wading, ten miles from home?
16447Do you read it?
16447Do you realize how strong it is, Esmé?
16447Do you really like Mr. Pierce, Dad?
16447Do you really want to know?
16447Do you respect your business, Doc?
16447Do you see something else around here that answers the description?
16447Do you see the rest of it anywhere?
16447Do you think I would n''t be amenable to your stern discipline?
16447Do you think I''d make a good Goddess- Outside- the- Machine, to the''Daily Clarion''?
16447Do you think I''d make a valuable employee, Miss Milly?
16447Do you think many fathers would do this sort of thing, Dad?
16447Do you think the Chief would make any other kind?
16447Do you think,blandly inquired the editorial roosters,"that when you tip the hat- check girl she gets the tip?
16447Do you want a drink?
16447Do you want me to quit?
16447Do you want me to stay?
16447Do you want something to eat? 16447 Do you want to be better than the law?"
16447Do you want to hear about it?
16447Do you want to take him back?
16447Do you wish to speak to the question?
16447Do you, now? 16447 Do you?
16447Do you? 16447 Do you?"
16447Do you?
16447Does it cure it?
16447Does it hurt you much?
16447Does it mean that it must be printed?
16447Does it weigh upon you?
16447Does my father know all this that you''ve been telling me?
16447Does that square accounts between us?
16447Does the Chief_ know_ it? 16447 Does the''Clarion''really intend to publish anything about an epidemic?"
16447Doing any sickening, yourself?
16447Doing_ what_?
16447Dr. De Vito, what''s the newest wrinkle in brain- food?
16447Dr. Elliot,said Hal quietly,"did you think I wanted to print that about Esmé?"
16447Dr. Surtaine''s son?
16447Dying, then?
16447Ease it? 16447 Ellis, are you trying to plant an impression in my mind?"
16447Ellis, how are you? 16447 Elpy,"said Dr. Surtaine, abruptly,"do you remember my platform patter?"
16447Epidemic? 16447 Europe?
16447Even the''Clarion,''which is supposed to have labor sympathies?
16447Expensive, though, is n''t it?
16447Father, does Certina cure Bright''s disease?
16447Fetch''em? 16447 For instance?"
16447For long?
16447For long?
16447For me? 16447 For the''Clarion''?"
16447For what?
16447Foreign proprietary,said Dr. Surtaine, using the technical term for patent- medicine advertising from out of town,"is n''t it?
16447Forgive my stupidity, but what has the advertising manager to do with social news?
16447From an æsthetic point of view?
16447From whom?
16447Genteel?
16447Get what, dear? 16447 Gimme a shot at him while you''ve got him on the wire, will you?"
16447Give the people who buy your paper the straight news they pay for?
16447Give up a business worth half a million a year, net?
16447Go down to lick the editor?
16447Got a grip on your temper?
16447Got any rope?
16447Got anything in its place?
16447Guardy, is he preaching?
16447Had a drink to- day, Mac?
16447Had n''t we better keep away from that?
16447Had n''t you better think it over?
16447Had n''t you heard? 16447 Hal, where''s Europe?"
16447Hal,--Dr. Surtaine turned to his son,--"has McQuiggan brought in a new batch of copy?"
16447Has it ever been done here?
16447Has it? 16447 Has n''t it cost you something more than money, already, Boyee?
16447Has n''t it taken Mr. Hale, the only friend I''ve got in the world? 16447 Has n''t there been enough judging of each other between you and me, Boy- ee?"
16447Has there ever been such a thing as unhappiness in the world, sweetheart?
16447Have I gone too heavy, sir?
16447Have I got any dollars away from you, Andy?
16447Have I said enough?
16447Have I? 16447 Have a good time?"
16447Have n''t we published everything about all the charities that you''re interested in?
16447Have n''t you done that yet?
16447Have n''t you enough troubles in your own business, Dad?
16447Have we got other medicines besides Certina?
16447Have you been taking that-- those pills?
16447Have you done it in your paper?
16447Have you ever worked?
16447Have you forgotten me, Hal?
16447Have you forgotten?
16447Have you laid a wager as to which will keep silent longest?
16447Have you reckoned the Pierce libel suits in?
16447Have you set yourself that little job?
16447He talks awfully young, does n''t he?
16447He? 16447 Heart disease, you say?"
16447Her? 16447 Here?"
16447High- pitch?
16447Honest, eh?
16447How about getting a United States Public Health Surgeon down here?
16447How about the''Clarion,''Mac?
16447How are you going to get me out of it?
16447How can I tell, sir? 16447 How can I tell?
16447How can advertising be news?
16447How can he tell? 16447 How can my father hope to answer all those?"
16447How can you expect an institution to run, bereft of its presiding genius? 16447 How can you know?"
16447How could I break through the solid phalanx of supplicating admirers?
16447How could you get Certina here?
16447How did that fellow get here?
16447How did you find out?
16447How did you know?
16447How did you like Esmé Elliot?
16447How do people live in places like this?
16447How do they get in there, then?
16447How do you account for this, then?
16447How do you know about the epidemic?
16447How do you know they''re stung?
16447How do you know?
16447How does it spread? 16447 How else can I make a career of it?"
16447How have you managed to keep them out, thus far?
16447How is it you Americans say? 16447 How is the paper going?"
16447How long can you go on at this rate?
16447How long has she owned it?
16447How long has that been running?
16447How many bottles does it take to cure?
16447How many of the_ other_ cases have you had here?
16447How much did you pay for it?
16447How much of a verdict would bust us?
16447How much?
16447How often do you see Hal Surtaine?
16447How old are you?
16447How was he stupider?
16447How would it be if I was to put you on half- time, Milly?
16447How would this do?
16447How''s that, Doc?
16447How''s that, sir?
16447How?
16447How?
16447How?
16447Huh?
16447I got ta make a living, have n''t I? 16447 I hated to have to say--""What does it matter?"
16447I want to know what you''re going to do for me?
16447I? 16447 I?
16447I?
16447I?
16447If I tell you, you wo n''t publish it? 16447 If it really does amount to anything, would n''t it be better,"said Hal,"to establish a quarantine and go in there and stamp the thing out?
16447If it were I?
16447If it were you, would you ask it?
16447If there''s no epidemic, why should I keep away?
16447If you give''em advertising matter free, how can you ever expect''em to pay for it?
16447If you''d known in time would you have--"Left that out of the paper?
16447If-- what?
16447In other words, you think the paper would get along better without me than with me?
16447In the Number Four?
16447In the''Clarion''?
16447In this block?
16447In what paper, Kathie?
16447In what way?
16447In what way?
16447Including that of homicide?
16447Insolent? 16447 Is Mr. Shearson the society editor?"
16447Is Mr. Surtaine in?
16447Is O''Farrell agent for all these barracks?
16447Is any one hurt?
16447Is he in love with you?
16447Is he telling the truth, Mac?
16447Is it a bet?
16447Is it a partnership, where one party is absolute slave to the other''s slightest wish?
16447Is it about Ellis?
16447Is it because it''s Certina money?
16447Is it some sort of epidemic starting?
16447Is it the word you''re afraid of, or is it me?
16447Is it to run to- morrow?
16447Is it true, do you think? 16447 Is it your habit, Mr. Ellis, to run at the first suggestion of disaster?"
16447Is n''t everything all right?
16447Is n''t he a trouble- maker among the men?
16447Is n''t it pretty late for explanations between you and me?
16447Is n''t she morally bound to know? 16447 Is n''t that rather a fine distinction?"
16447Is n''t that right, Ellis?
16447Is n''t there some other association we can get into?
16447Is some one dead?
16447Is that an order?
16447Is that question asked in good faith?
16447Is that so?
16447Is that your uncle, the gentleman that fixed my arm?
16447Is the editor in?
16447Is the game playing out?
16447Is there a pestilence in the Rookeries? 16447 Is there any chance?"
16447Is there_ anything_ that Certina is good for?
16447Is this all yours, Andy? 16447 Is your church in this district?"
16447Is your father a leading citizen?
16447It could n''t be either of those, could it?
16447It need n''t be a muckraking paper, need it, forever smelling out something rotten, and exploiting it in big headlines?
16447It was only attempted suicide, was n''t it?
16447It''s rather yellow, is n''t it?
16447It''s run by an outsider, too, is n''t it?
16447It''s true, is n''t it?
16447It?
16447Just how does that concern this discussion?
16447Just what do you mean by that?
16447Just what was that about Number Seven?
16447Know Redding? 16447 Law?"
16447Let us print a statement from you, from her--"In your sheet? 16447 Let''s see, when does it come?"
16447Libel, eh?
16447Liquor? 16447 Look here, Ellis,"he said:"are you trying to be honest, yourself?
16447Mac, what''s the matter with you?
16447Mac,said the brusque physician, for the first time using the familiar name:"between man and man, now:_ what_ about the boy?"
16447Machinery? 16447 Make a fool of the paper by righting a rank injustice?"
16447Make what all the harder?
16447Making and unmaking judges, for example?
16447Malaria?
16447Max? 16447 Me?
16447Meaning our friend Pierce?
16447Meaning?
16447Meningitis?
16447Milly''s? 16447 Misgivings?
16447More than usual?
16447Morphine?
16447Mr. Denton,said Hal,"did Miss Pierce explain why she did n''t return after running the nurse down?"
16447Mr. Ellis,said Hal,"will you''phone Mr. Wayne to send up the man who covered the Pierce story?"
16447Mr. Surtaine, have you thought what you are doing?
16447Must I?
16447My dear young lady, ought you to be risking your safety in such places as these?
16447My own money? 16447 My part in it?"
16447New cases?
16447New? 16447 News?"
16447No doubt what that means, is there?
16447No? 16447 No?
16447No? 16447 No?
16447No? 16447 No?"
16447Nor even suspect?
16447Not a little bit on the asker?
16447Not doing any doctoring nowadays, are you?
16447Not going in for reform politics, are you?
16447Not going out after those hundred drinks, eh, Mac?
16447Not running an honest paper this week?
16447Not so much that you''ll think Worthington dull and provincial?
16447Not? 16447 Not?"
16447Noticed that already, have you? 16447 Now who could that be, I wonder?"
16447Now, what kind of a little game is this?
16447Of the''Clarion''article?
16447Of what sort?
16447Off?
16447Oh, that''s all in the game, is n''t it?
16447Oh, yes, I know: we cure Bright''s disease, do n''t we? 16447 Old Home Week?"
16447Or burying the dead in quicklime?
16447Out all night again?
16447Over Harrington Surtaine?
16447Over the Pierce story?
16447People die of tonsillitis, do they?
16447Perhaps you''re the boy to do it, eh? 16447 Plague?
16447Plain facts are what you want, are n''t they?
16447Prefer to be fed up on pleasant lies?
16447Pretty good, live town?
16447Pretty little exhibition of temper, is n''t it?
16447Pretty sound sense, eh?
16447Prying into the secrets of the trade?
16447Quicklime? 16447 Rather an intangible fortune, is n''t it?"
16447Rather goes in for that sort of thing, does n''t she?
16447Say,appealed Charley,"did you hear that cough- lozenge- peddling boob trying to tell me where to get off, in the proprietary game?
16447Scared? 16447 See here, Mr. Sterne: is n''t it a fact that this attack was made because my father does n''t advertise with you?"
16447See here, Neal: what made you quit us?
16447See what?
16447Septicæmia hemorrhagica?
16447Shall I go, Dad?
16447Shall I release it for Monday?
16447She''s left?
16447Shut your eyes and swallow it and ask no questions, if it''s good, eh, Doctor?
16447Since when did you get so pick- an''-choosy?
16447So the mystic''Must''is not exclusively a chief- editorial prerogative?
16447So you call yourself an M.D., do you?
16447So you''ve heard?
16447Some kind of machinery?
16447Something new?
16447Something wrong?
16447Somewhere about four thousand a week out, is n''t it?
16447Speech? 16447 Stand?"
16447Still sticking out for the money- back- if- not- satisfied racket-- in the other fellow''s business, eh, Andy? 16447 Still working at the Certina joint?"
16447Still worrying about Dr. Surtaine''s influence over the paper?
16447Stop?
16447Suppose,said he,"a horse runs wild and makes a dive through that window?
16447Sure? 16447 Taking''em?
16447Tearing it down?
16447Tell you? 16447 Thank_ me_?"
16447That my old pal, Andy?
16447That remains to be seen for me, does n''t it? 16447 That will be soon, wo n''t it, sir?
16447That would be news, would n''t it?
16447That''s quite unusual for your set, is n''t it? 16447 The Certina advertising?"
16447The Chief?
16447The Doctor thinks?
16447The Rookeries deaths?
16447The Rookeries?
16447The arbutus? 16447 The contract that you said was no good?
16447The epidemic story? 16447 The epidemic?"
16447The father_ is_ rather impossible, is n''t he?
16447The killed story?
16447The readers, you mean?
16447The wife of the son of a quack? 16447 The_ best_ friend, Boy- ee?"
16447Them other cases the same thing?
16447Then it''s to be killed?
16447Then what does it matter if we hold it a little longer?
16447Then why do n''t you get work on some paper that practices your principles?
16447Then why were these bodies buried in quicklime?
16447Then you meant nothing by it?
16447Then you''re going to settle down here?
16447Then you''ve seen the editorial page this morning?
16447There always is, is n''t there, in a boy of that age, for a woman years older?
16447Thereby keeping the graft in the family, eh?
16447They wo n''t?
16447Think so?
16447This is n''t a bluff, I suppose?
16447Tip O''Farrell, the labor politician? 16447 To the business?
16447To undertake a partnership on five minutes''notice-- that is n''t business, is it?
16447To- morrow? 16447 Up to me?"
16447Upon what victim?
16447Veltman? 16447 Veltman?
16447Want to play it alone, do you?
16447Wanted to? 16447 Was I staring very outrageously, sir?"
16447Was he in love with you?
16447Was it good?
16447Was it?
16447Was n''t it simply a case of currying favor with the working- classes?
16447Was that what you had to tell me about the paper, when you asked me to come to see you?
16447Wassamatter?
16447We''re going to have a new press?
16447We''re partners, are n''t we?
16447Well, I''m-- What''s the idea? 16447 Well, Milly: what''s up?"
16447Well, it can keep''em private for its own good, ca n''t it? 16447 Well, telescope''s sight, ai n''t it?
16447Well, what about her?
16447Well, what about it?
16447Well, what newspaper is likely to do that?
16447Well, what would you make of it, yourself?
16447Well, you did n''t say there was anything more, did you?
16447Well,replied the girl brazenly,"he said he''d seen me about the Rookeries district; and if that is n''t a low--""Had he?"
16447Well; now that you own the''Clarion,''he said after a pause,"what do you think of it?"
16447Well? 16447 Well?"
16447Well?
16447Well?
16447Well?
16447Well?
16447Were you ever in St. Jo, Missouri?

16447What are you doing here?
16447What are you going to do about it? 16447 What are you going to do with her?"
16447What are you going to do with it, now you''ve got it?
16447What are you going to do?
16447What are you going to talk about?
16447What are you poking me in the ribs for?

16447What did they say?
16447What did you do to him?
16447What did you think of their stories of the accident?
16447What do I owe you?
16447What do the certificates call it?
16447What do you call that?
16447What do you mean, then, by telling me you run an honest paper when you carry an abortion advertisement every day?
16447What do you think of Old Lame- Boy?
16447What do you think you''re hiring, a Professor of Journalism in the infant class?
16447What do you think?
16447What do you want me to do, Boy- ee?
16447What do you want me to do?
16447What do you want to see him about?

16447What''s it to you if I have?
16447What''s its value to you?
16447What''s left of it?
16447What''s left of the epidemic spread?

16447Where are you going?
16447Where did I get it?
16447Where do you come in on the idealist business, Mac? 16447 Where does a paper get its news?"
16447Where does that lead to?
16447Where has he been?
16447Where is it? 16447 Where shall you go?"

16447Which job do you like best: the Certina or the newspaper, Miss Neal?
16447Who are you,continued the journalist,"to talk standards of honesty in journalism to those boys?"
16447Who are you?

16447Who was it?
16447Who''s that?
16447Who''s the physician down there?
16447Who''s to match him?
16447Who''s treating them?
16447Who''s''we''?
16447Who, me?
16447Who? 16447 Who?
16447Whom did you dance with mostly?
16447Whose writing is that?
16447Why ca n''t I?
16447Why ca n''t it be done?
16447Why ca n''t it?
16447Why ca n''t you?
16447Why deliberately stir him up, Mac?
16447Why did n''t you say so to our reporter, then?
16447Why did n''t your sister sue the company?
16447Why did she leave?
16447Why did you come here to kill my father, Milly?
16447Why do n''t you develop it?
16447Why do n''t you take McQuiggan down to meet your Mr. Shearson, Hal?
16447Why does n''t it get honest reporters?
16447Why not this way? 16447 Why not wait till to- morrow?"
16447Why not? 16447 Why not?
16447Why not? 16447 Why not?
16447Why not? 16447 Why not?"
16447Why not?
16447Why not?
16447Why not?
16447Why not?
16447Why not?
16447Why should I go to Elias M. Pierce''s office?
16447Why should he be?
16447Why should it be? 16447 Why should n''t it be so?"
16447Why so?
16447Why the fortification?
16447Why unfortunate?
16447Why would n''t you? 16447 Why, that''s John M. Gibbs''s store, is n''t it?"
16447Why, what do you think the disease is?
16447Why? 16447 Why?
16447Why?

16447Will he die?
16447Will she get the fever?
16447Will that medicine cause abortion?
16447Will they?
16447Will you come?
16447Will you help me?
16447Will you promise not to break it? 16447 Will you stay with me till he comes?"
16447With what idea?
16447With what?
16447With you? 16447 With your lofty notions, Ellis, how did you ever come to work on a sheet like the''Clarion''?"
16447Without any more advertising?
16447Wo n''t the courts do anything?
16447Wo n''t the old man back him up?
16447Wo n''t they?
16447Wo n''t you?
16447Wonder if it''d do any good to marry her?
16447Works out quite logically, does n''t it?
16447Would it be our affair if Pierce did n''t control advertising?
16447Would n''t it be a refreshing change,suggested Ellis,"to have one paper in Worthington that money wo n''t buy?"
16447Would this help at all?
16447Would you be sorry if I did?
16447Would you like to hear some facts about the news we do n''t print?
16447Would you obey it if it were?
16447Would you? 16447 Would_ you_ feel well if you''d been in to dinner three times in the last week with Will Douglas, and then had to go in to supper with him, too?"
16447Yes: but outside of that?
16447Yes?
16447Yes?
16447You ai n''t a government agent or a medical society investigator?
16447You among the number?
16447You can lend me some pajamas?
16447You can square that through your boy, ca n''t you?
16447You can trust Ellis, can you?
16447You did n''t bring it back with you, then?
16447You did n''t put Veltman in your story?
16447You do n''t care?
16447You do n''t like the''Clarion''?
16447You do the answering?
16447You find me amusing?
16447You have an appointment with him?
16447You have no concern for yourself?
16447You hold me to that?
16447You keep your promise, then, to the little girl?
16447You mean flirtation? 16447 You mean in Canadaga County?
16447You mean that is the basis of the newspaper business as it is to- day?
16447You mean that?
16447You mean the ad?
16447You say the sickness has been in there?
16447You think I''m crazy? 16447 You think it good medicine for all that long list of troubles?"
16447You think that''s swearing?
16447You want me to tell you?
16447You went and did it to Elias M., did n''t you?
16447You went in and saw''em?
16447You wo n''t help me to get justice for this woman?''
16447You wo n''t take me with you?
16447You''d resign first?
16447You''ll write the meeting?
16447You''re Harrington Surtaine? 16447 You''re going to stand by and see my boy turn traitor to his class?"
16447You''re not going away?
16447You''re returning it?
16447You''re sure of the facts?
16447You''ve come to see me about--?
16447You''ve got all the fake trimmings, have n''t you? 16447 You''ve had experience in this sort of thing before, I suppose?"
16447You''ve put new drugs in?
16447You-- can''t-- do-- it?
16447You-- you wo n''t gimme away to the Chief? 16447 You?
16447You?
16447You_ are_ a doctor?
16447Your father has dropped it?
16447Your shoulder?
16447Your wife? 16447 _ Are n''t_ you?"
16447_ Are_ they the facts? 16447 _ Are_ you certain?"
16447_ Are_ you? 16447 _ Do_ I know her?"
16447_ Going_ to?
16447_ Is_ it ruin to try and run a newspaper without taking a percentage of that kind of profits, Mac?
16447_ Or_ a principle?
16447_ Straight?_ Ladies and gents: the well- known Surtaine Family will now put on their screamin''farce entitled''Honesty is the Best Policy.''
16447_ What a paper to- morrow''s''Clarion''will be!_ But why? 16447 _ You_ will?
16447& Treas._|||+-----------------------------------------+"Any good?"
16447''Grandmother, what makes your teeth so white?''"
16447''What about the other nine thousand?''
16447--"Are they concealing it at the City Hall?"
16447--"Does he mean bubonic?"
16447--"What''s he want?"
16447--"Who says so?"
16447About finances, by the way, where do you stand?"
16447After a night''s rest--""In this house?
16447All idealism goes that way, does n''t it?"
16447And I''ve made you sit up--""What''s all this commotion?"
16447And Wayne, in the same language, inquired:"How much?"
16447And did n''t he think it quite professional of her to remember all about galleys and things?
16447And do you know where my girl is now, on this day when your sheet is smearing her name all over the town?"
16447And if you insist on knowing, I''ve been revisiting the pale glimpses of the moon-- at three o''clock P.M.""What do you mean, moon?"
16447And is there some suffering friend who you can lead to the light?"
16447And no other doctor gets in?"
16447And what about the chaps that were going to put it out of business?
16447And what harm are you doing by dropping the story, anyway?
16447And what is it?
16447And what will you make of it?
16447And when I came here and told your father he''d got to help me out of my trouble, what do you think he told me?
16447And wo n''t it take its hundreds of other lives unless warning is given?
16447And yet-- and yet-- why otherwise should she come with the marks of fierce misery in her face, demanding an interview at this time?
16447And you think with your little spewing demagoguery of newspaper filth, you can override me?
16447And you''ll see that the''Clarion''keeps out of it, too?"
16447And you''re going to begin at the bottom?
16447And you''ve seen a lot of him lately, have n''t you?"
16447And, Murtha, while you''re at the''phone, call up the''Clarion''office and tell McGuire Ellis to come up here on the jump, will you?"
16447And_ where_ did you learn that delightful swing after the dip?"
16447Andy Certain?"
16447Andy the Spieler?
16447Anything wrong at the shop, Milly?"
16447Anything?"
16447Anyway, it''s turned out well, has n''t it?"
16447Are n''t any?
16447Are n''t you sorry, sir, that you ever saw this room?"
16447Are you as good a dancer as you used to be?"
16447Are you engaged to Hal Surtaine?"
16447Are you going to help me out?"
16447Are you properly grateful?"
16447Are you putting it to me?"
16447Are you ready to take off your coat and work?"
16447Are you so blame sure what_ you''d_ do in those conditions?"
16447Are you staying here to- night?"
16447Are you sure you''re not denying it now?"
16447Arsenious acid, I suppose, to eat it out?"
16447As for the Rookeries epidemic upon which all this turned, what did he really know of it, anyway?
16447As well might one have asked,"What is the City Hall?"
16447Ask of every bit of news,''Is this going to get me an advertiser?
16447Below, in the same hand writing was the query:"_ What''s your percentage of the blood- money, Mr. Harrington Surtaine?
16447Besides, can he afford to be in it if there_ should_ be any serious trouble?
16447But did you notice him when he went?"
16447But do you know your own?
16447But do you think any paper in town touched it?
16447But how to introduce these noble and fortifying ideals into the mind of that flighty young bird, Hal?
16447But see here, Mr. Ellis, does n''t your contract hold you?"
16447But the boy-- look here, you knew all about this Milly Neal business, did n''t you?"
16447But the formula''s the vital thing, is n''t it?"
16447But was it chance?
16447But was the price so severe?
16447But what I wanta ask you is this: We fellows who have to_ write_ the facts behind the news; where do we get off?"
16447But what about my leaving, now?"
16447But what about the run of the medical profession?
16447But what does it cost to advertise?
16447But what has that to do with Veltman''s resignation?"
16447But what of Milly, taken on such poor terms?
16447But what''s the reason for it?"
16447But who was he to judge his father by such rigorous standards?
16447But why, in particular, should he know?"
16447But would the mere threat of firing suffice?
16447But would you have told the truth of your part in it?"
16447But you seem too-- too easy- going, too--""Too ornamental to be useful?"
16447But, Esmé--""Well?"
16447But, I guess, as father and son, pal and pal, we''re pretty well suited,--eh?"
16447But, say, Mr. Surtaine, you ai n''t going to get virtuous in your advertising columns, too, are you?"
16447By that same measure, what of Milly Neal?
16447By the way, if he had a galley proof of anything that had been written about Kathleen Pierce''s motor accident, would he bring that along?
16447By the way,"he added, becoming grave,"what was your game in cutting in on my''spiel''?"
16447Ca n''t you tell the man- killer type when you see it?"
16447Can I sell_ you_ a bottle?"
16447Can we stand another?"
16447Can you bang the big drum of righteousness in one column and promise falsely in the next to commit murder?
16447Can you be honest on one page and a crook on another?
16447Can you do it?"
16447Can you do the story of the meeting?"
16447Can you find O''Farrell?"
16447Can you judge me so harshly, with your own conscience to answer?"
16447Can you never learn to keep your hands off?"
16447Can you remember it?
16447Certina will do as much--""Is it true that alcohol simply hastens the course of the disease?"
16447Come, now,"he added, in a hard, businesslike voice,"what are we going to call the cause of death?"
16447Could any good come from such a stock?
16447Could anything be clearer?
16447Could he do that to them?
16447Could n''t you exert the power without actually owning the newspaper?"
16447Could she make a newspaper change its hue, as she could make men change color, with the power of a word or the incitement of a glance?
16447Could you get up a preparation of it that looks tasty and tastes good?"
16447D''yeh think it could be true?"
16447Denton?"
16447Did he not, at least, owe them a living?
16447Did it fetch''em?"
16447Did n''t I say I was scared?"
16447Did n''t I tell you he was unexpected?
16447Did n''t I tell you?
16447Did n''t he call me up this morning and raise the devil?"
16447Did n''t yeh hear whut he sayed?
16447Did n''t you?
16447Did you dance with him last night?"
16447Did you do it all on your own?"
16447Did you do it?"
16447Did you really care?
16447Did you tell Mac?"
16447Didn''chu hear me?"
16447Diphtheria?--Good enough for the present.--Ever see infectious meningitis?
16447Do I seem false and disloyal to you?
16447Do I?"
16447Do n''t be young.--What?
16447Do n''t you approve?"
16447Do n''t you care for me-- a little, Hal?"
16447Do n''t you know me?"
16447Do n''t you know your Lewis Carroll?
16447Do n''t you know, you say,''Aroint thee, witch,''when you want to get rid of her?
16447Do n''t you remember?"
16447Do n''t you think it''s fun having everything you want to buy, and having a leading citizen for a father?"
16447Do n''t you think''pumess''is a nice lady- word, Guardy?"
16447Do something for me, will you?"
16447Do those things pay?"
16447Do you believe the boy when he says that his father did n''t send him?"
16447Do you expect it to work all one way?"
16447Do you feel like a prince entering into his realm?"
16447Do you get that?
16447Do you know Pierce?"
16447Do you know a man named Veltman?"
16447Do you know how many bottles must be sold to any one patron before the profits begin to come in?
16447Do you know that the money that bought this paper for you was coined out of the blood of deceived girls?
16447Do you know that?"
16447Do you know we''re putting on circulation at the rate of nearly a thousand a week?"
16447Do you know what I took out of this town last night?
16447Do you know what it means to damn the soul of a paper?
16447Do you know what the great danger is now?"
16447Do you know why?"
16447Do you know why?"
16447Do you know you''ve got to make a speech in an hour?
16447Do you remember meeting me with Max Veltman the other night?"
16447Do you think you can make Worthington feel like home?"
16447Do you think you can?"
16447Do you?"
16447Does Mac know?"
16447Does anybody else but me give you page ads.?"
16447Does he still come to see you?"
16447Does that go?"
16447Does the name McQuiggan mean anything to you?"
16447Eat?
16447Eh?
16447Eh?"
16447Eh?"
16447Elliot?"
16447Elliot?"
16447Ellis, why does the''Clarion''carry such stuff as that?"
16447Esmé lifted up a very clear and sweet mezzo- soprano in a mocking lilt of song:--"How should my heart know What love may be?"
16447Esmé, did I ever tell you my creed?"
16447Esmé, did you notice how thin and worn he looks?"
16447Ever know any folks there, George?"
16447Every other paper in town gets his copy; why should n''t we?
16447Father, you saw the story in the''Clarion,''--the story of Milly''s death?"
16447For God''s sake, why?"
16447From near the speaker a voice piped thinly:--"Will it ease my cough?"
16447Get it?
16447Got this morning''s?"
16447Hale?"
16447Has he killed you?"
16447Have n''t you thrown it down?"
16447Have one?"
16447Have you a scar on your left shoulder?"
16447Have you heard anything from Esmé Elliot since she left?"
16447Have you heard of a single case outside of the Rookeries district, so far?"
16447Have you met Esmé yet?"
16447Have you seen the evening papers?"
16447Have you sent a man to see her?"
16447Have you?
16447He bristled forth to the rail to meet a tall and rather elegant young man whom he greeted with a growl to this effect:"Hoojer wanter see?"
16447He thought to interpret that taunt in the words which Veltman had used, aforetime:--"What''s_ your_ percentage?"
16447He''s been here only a few weeks, has n''t he?"
16447He''s in the printing- department, is n''t he?"
16447Hoss- stealin'', barn- burnin'', boot- leggin'', an''murder thrown in when--""Be you the doctor was to Corsica Village two years ago?"
16447How are you feeling, Hal?
16447How can it make profits and pay your dividends if that kind of thing keeps up?"
16447How can you know my motive?"
16447How can you live without business?"
16447How could he, their leader, recant his doctrine before these men?
16447How could you take money made that way?"
16447How do I know you''d print what I discovered-- supposing I discovered anything?"
16447How do you like it?
16447How do you like the results?"
16447How do_ I_ know what I''d do?"
16447How does the paper suit your tastes?"
16447How else will I find out?"
16447How is the boy?"
16447How long will it go on paying that if the newspapers keep stirring up trouble for it?
16447How long would you want me to stay?"
16447How many here are hiding that dreadful malady, cancer?
16447How many new victims?"
16447How many readers care whether E.M. Pierce''s daughter ran over a woman or not?
16447How many suicides do you suppose your''Boon to Womanhood''and its kind of hellishness causes in a year, thanks to the help of your honest journalism?"
16447How much did we give it?
16447How much of the news would he print?
16447How serious is this Surtaine matter?"
16447How soon is the epidemic likely to break, Doctor?"
16447How the devil did you get in here?"
16447How would you feel when Mac Ellis, and Wayne, and all the fellows that stuck by you found themselves out of a job because of your pig- headedness?
16447How would you like it if he undertook to interfere with Certina?"
16447How you call it?
16447How''s that?"
16447How''s that?"
16447How''s that?"
16447How?
16447I believe that''s the proper business phrase, is n''t it?"
16447I did n''t say?"
16447I like being a spoiled child, do n''t you?
16447I thought it might be that, maybe-- No?
16447I would n''t ask it if it were anything else; but--""Would you do it yourself?"
16447If one bottle cures--""Does_ what_?
16447If she went astray once, who are you to judge her?
16447If so, was n''t the whole affair a matter of selling shadow rather than substance?
16447If so, what is its nature?"
16447In other words, what do you want of me?"
16447Is all the wrong on my side?
16447Is it O.K.?"
16447Is it very serious?"
16447Is it your notion of a fair partnership to stay away and let your fellow toilers wither on the bough?
16447Is it, oh, is it, the Great American Pumess that I have the honor to address?"
16447Is n''t it likely to be serious for any of the unprotected young of your species when a Great American Pumess gets after him?"
16447Is n''t that matter enough?"
16447Is n''t that right?
16447Is n''t that true?"
16447Is n''t there anything else you''ve ever thought of turning to?"
16447Is that going to lose me an advertiser?''
16447Is that it?"
16447Is that plain?"
16447Is that plain?"
16447Is that some plan?
16447Is that the idea, Father?"
16447Is there any limit to the business that food could do?
16447It ca n''t cost so much to make as--""Make?
16447It is n''t too early to give it a start, is it?"
16447It was, for the moment, the Great American Pumess who spoke:--"Wo n''t you even say you''re glad to see me?"
16447It''s catching, ai n''t it?"
16447It''s some difference of definition, I suppose''?
16447It''s the finest bracer--""As a cure?"
16447It_ is_''Doctor,''ai n''t it?"
16447Journalistically, how can I?
16447Just for a test,--for the last time will you or will you not, Mr. Sterne, publish this apology?"
16447Just the same, if it was n''t for what you''ve done for Boyee--""Well, what about''Boyee''?"
16447Knight- errantry, eh?
16447Know anything about Worthington?"
16447Know what I mean?
16447Look here, Boyee; what''s the worst feature of an epidemic?
16447Mac?"
16447Mac?"
16447May I ask some questions?"
16447May I give you a lift in my car?"
16447Maybe some kind of hypophosphite, eh?"
16447McQuiggan?"
16447Me?
16447Meaning her_ fiancé_, Mr. William Douglas, with whom her mind and emotions should properly have been concerned?
16447Not falling in love?"
16447Not going?"
16447Notes?
16447Notice anything queer about the page?"
16447Now if you had some man whom you could turn over this news end to while you''re building up a sound advertising policy--""How about McGuire Ellis?"
16447Now where shall I begin?"
16447Now, how are you going to make money with the''Clarion''?"
16447Now, if I quit making Certina, what about them?
16447Now, then, what''s your answer?"
16447Now, what happens if you turn loose a newspaper scare?
16447Of course you wo n''t print anything about this affair?"
16447Oh, death, where is thy power?
16447Oh, grave, where is thy victory?
16447Oh, that''s Certina Charley, is n''t it?
16447On her return she made a frontal attack:--"Norrie, what made you break your engagement to Will Douglas?"
16447On the level?
16447Or drink?
16447Or give it away?
16447Or try to communicate with her?
16447Or would you take him out to the theater and feed him a fat cigar, and treat him the best you know how?
16447Ought you to be going there?"
16447Pierce?"
16447Pierce?"
16447Pistols?"
16447Please, may n''t I have it to play with?"
16447Poor Max has got a wife somewhere--""Max?
16447Pure Food Law scared you out of the dope, eh?
16447Revolvers?"
16447Roast Certina, will he?
16447See you at-- what time, by the way?"
16447See you to- night, Andy?"
16447See?
16447See?
16447Shall I tell Veltman to set it up in several styles so you may take your pick?"
16447Shall I turn them out on the street?"
16447Shearson?"
16447Should he accept it, or was it safer to ignore this pestilent disturber?
16447Since when?
16447Smallpox?"
16447So you know, do you?
16447Something like typhoid?"
16447Specifically, seats for shopgirls, and extra pay for extra work, as during Old Home Week, when the stores kept open until 10 P.M.?
16447Still holding his eyes to hers, she stretched out her hand to receive the strip of print,"Do you think I''d better read it?"
16447Suppose I should break all the rules of the office?
16447Sure you wo n''t have a drink?"
16447Sure you wo n''t let me hire a New York lawyer for the libel suit?"
16447Surtaine?"
16447Surtaine?"
16447Surtaine?"
16447Surtaine?"
16447Surtaine?"
16447Surtaine?"
16447Surtaine?"
16447Surtaine?"
16447Surtaine?"
16447Surtaine?"
16447Surtaine?"
16447Surtaine?"
16447Surtaine?"
16447Tell me, who''s this Balzac?
16447The Grand Vizier said to the plagues,''How many of my people have you slain?''
16447The big thing now is, what''s the paper going to do about this meeting?"
16447The breakfast was my suggestion, was n''t it?
16447The department store advertising?"
16447The eminent savant removed his hat with a fine flourish, further reflected in his language as he said:--"What does Beauty so far afield?"
16447The question is, What am I going to do?"
16447The''Star''?
16447Then why are n''t we all dead?"
16447Then you''ve seen him lately?"
16447Then, in a pause, a young voice said:"Well, to bring the subject up to date, what about the deaths in the Rookeries?"
16447Then,"Esmé, I was pretty rotten about that, was n''t I?"
16447There was a pause: then,"You''ll come to see me-- when you can?"
16447Therefore, when Milly Neal appeared at the gate at 9.05 in the evening, the Cerberus greeted her professionally with a"How goes it, Miss Cutie?"
16447To Old Home Week?"
16447To take Certina?
16447Veltman?"
16447WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
16447Want any help?"
16447Want some advice from the Old Man?"
16447Was I wrong?
16447Was he really as unyielding in other tests of principle as he had shown himself with her?
16447Was he too busy to come up to Greenvale, Dr. Elliot''s place, at 8.30 sharp?
16447Was it fully come yet?
16447Was it him that told you it was typhus?"
16447Was it not, rather, as McGuire Ellis had suggested, the exemplification of an exact logic?
16447Was n''t it?
16447Was the advertising really of so much more import than the medicine itself?
16447Was there peril in his presence?
16447We''ve come to be real friends, have n''t we?
16447We-- I-- didn''t know-- Have you been asleep?"
16447Well, but, see here, dear, does Cousin Clarice approve of that sort of thing?"
16447Well, if a witch can be arointed, why should n''t she aroint other things?"
16447Well, not to go any farther, what about this for honesty?"
16447Well, then: how''s a paper going to live that turns against its own support?
16447Well, what did you do?"
16447Were his fish securely in the net?
16447Were there?"
16447Whaddye mean?"
16447What about her?"
16447What about him?
16447What about it?"
16447What about that name for the new laxative pills, Con?
16447What about your testimonials?
16447What are the Rookeries?
16447What are you giving for it?"
16447What are you going to do with it?"
16447What are_ we_ here for?"
16447What chance have we got to develop ideals when you outsiders control the whole business?"
16447What did it amount to, anyway?
16447What did it matter, anyway, a bit of news like that?
16447What did you have to drink?"
16447What did you pay for your M.D.?"
16447What difference does it make to them?
16447What do those men know about the ethics of journalism?
16447What do you know about it?"
16447What do you know about mining?"
16447What do you mean by the Death?"
16447What do you mean?
16447What do you suppose he''s doing down here?"
16447What do you think it is, Doctor?"
16447What do you think of that?
16447What do you think ought to be done about the Rookeries?"
16447What do you want to do with the''Clarion''?"
16447What do you want, anyway?"
16447What does he know of it?
16447What else can it mean?
16447What for?"
16447What good''s a reporter who ca n''t get news?
16447What have you been doing to yourself?
16447What if the engineer_ was_ worked overtime?
16447What is business?"
16447What is it?"
16447What is that?"
16447What is there to do?"
16447What is your Vitalizing Mixture?"
16447What kind of plague?"
16447What mattered his little pangs?
16447What of them?
