     summary: The letter had been received Monday afternoon, therefore Teddy had but little time for preparation. Since the details consisted only in agreeing upon what amount of luggage should be taken with them, but little time was spent in discussion, and as the boys retired on this night it was with the knowledge that when the sun rose again they would start for the Silver City which every traveler in Yucatan admitted had an existence.

     summary: Indians are God's creatures as well as white men, and many of them are a great deal better creatures than many white men, but-- At this point my mental remarks ceased, for I observed, to my surprise, that Eve opened a small book, and from the continuous tone of her voice, I knew that she was reading. He has sent Big Otter back to us in good time, and, see, has He not also sent white men to help us? The war-party was detained on our arrival until we should hold a palaver with the old chief and principal braves.

     summary: Am I not entitled, said Molly, ignoring her husband's question, to express regret that your work should include coming home now and then with scratched cheeks, and swelled noses, and black eyes? Come now, returned Giles, you must admit that I have fewer of these discomforts than most men of the force, owing, no doubt, to little men being unable to reach so high--and, d'you know, it's the little men who do most damage in life; they're such a pugnacious and perverse generation! Here, tuck into the bread and butter, little man, it'll make you grow.

     summary: Yes, of course--girls too--why, as fast as boys and girls earn the right to wear Safety Scout buttons, we can form them into patrols. Mother was telling the whole story that evening, not forgetting the rusty nails and the flower pots--two risks which neither Father nor Mother had ever thought of before--when a sturdy little figure in a Safety Scout uniform paused at the door and listened with a shrewd twinkle in his eye.

     summary: We often hear iron bridges condemned, while wooden ones, so called, are supposed to be free from defects. In a country where government controls all matters on which the public safety depends, and where no bridge over which the public is to pass is allowed to be built except after the plans have been approved by competent authority, where no work can be executed except under the rigid inspection of the best experts, nor opened to the public until it has been officially tested and accepted, it makes little or no difference whether the public is informed, or not, upon these matters; but in a country like the United States, where any man may at any time open a shop for the manufacture of bridges, whether he knows any thing about the business, or not, and is at liberty to use cheap and insufficient material, and where public officers are always to be found ready to buy such bridges, simply because the first cost is low, and to place them in the public ways, it makes a good deal of difference.

     summary: Much of the lading of the waggons is out, and on the ground, to be re-packed and re-arranged for further transport; while upon lines, stretched from tree to tree, hang all sorts of _lingerie_ in the process of drying; proof that the washerwomen of the party had been up and stirring betimes. Though going only in a walk, it was with a stride that carried them along fast as most other animals in full run, and in a few seconds after the tusker stood on the stream's bank; then with a flourish of trumpets, and a whirl of his flexible trunk, struck straight down into the water.
