  Shapur worked diligently at this new task, until there came a day when Omar said to him, Well done, Shapur! And this, O Son of Shapur, is the secret of Omar's alchemy: To gather something from every one thou passest on the highway, and from every experience fate sends thee, as Omar gathered from the heart of every rose, and out of the wide knowledge thus gained of human weaknesses and human needs, to distil in thine own heart the precious oil of Sympathy.

  Grace Harlowe flings herself into the saddle, braced for the shock. CHAPTER II--AN OUTLAW MEETS HIS MATCH Grace fights a stubborn battle with the vicious bronco. Yeow! howled the cowboys, but Grace did not hear them, for the pony had dropped to all fours, and no sooner had his feet touched the ground than he leaped clear of it, coming down stiff-legged with a jolt that jarred Grace Harlowe throughout her body in spite of her effort to soften the shock by throwing most of her weight on the stirrups.

  As far as I can make out, you're only laying up trouble for yourself, and also--here there rang a peculiarly menacing note through his soft, southern voice--if I'm correct, you're accusing Miss Pearl Gallito of being a suspicious character, and I'm assuring you now, boys, that either in the desert or here in the mountains that that's the sort of thing you've got to answer for.

summary:
  Cuvier divides the ruminants into two great sections: one comprising the ruminants without horns (genera, _camel_, _lama_, and _chevrotain_); and the other, those _with_ horns. The second, with its shrunken leaves, owes the specific epithet (_insignis_, remarkable) which botanists have imposed upon it, to the peculiar structure of its flowers.
