- IV
- MATRIMONIAL
- Cyrus' eyebrows went up. "Me? Mine?"
- Cyrus nodded. "I s'pose that's so."
- Cyrus nodded. "I'm ready, if it's a good thing."
- Cyrus frowned. "I don't know."
- Cyrus frowned. "Our children?"
- Ruth stopped. "Hush, you horrid dog!"
- Cyrus spoke. "We have come to get married."
- The father laughed. "Oh, it's you she wants, is it?"
- Ruth smiled and nodded. "Yes, sir."
- The maiden shook her head. "He said not."
- Ruth laughed. "That would be funny, wouldn't it?"
- She yielded. "But there's no minister to do it."
- Ruth repeated: "Isn't it lucky!"
- Cyrus hesitated. "Do I have to give it to you?"
- Luther frowned, then smiled. "Me? Marry?"
- Ruth cried aloud in pain, "Stop it! Oh, stop it! It hurts!"
- Cyrus wheeled about. "Let go that hair!"
- HE MEETS TWO LADIES
- The boy laughed. "Why, it's nothing but dog spit!"
- Miss Clement hesitated. "Well--I suppose he did, perhaps."
- But the boy was still fresh. "What was this man's name?"
- She smiled and nodded. "Yes, it is very original."
- Her eyebrows went up. "Sorry for what?"
- Miss Clement shuddered: "No! No! Don't speak of them again! Come back."
- The Vandal smiled and nodded. "Yes, ma'am."
- But he spoke gently. "Whose house do you think it is?"
- Dr. Alton smiled. "Do they want your help as another doctor?"
- He saw his father was smiling back at her as he murmured, "Yes--she is."
- VI
- HE ALMOST GETS RELIGION
- Joanna frowned. "Bigger than what?"
- Joanna hesitated. "Well--nobody really knows."
- Cyrus frowned. "But what's the use of so many?"
- Cyrus laughed. "And which are you?"
- VII
- TOWARD THE LIGHT
- Cyrus smiled. "That _would_ be funny!"
- Ruth laughed. "You silly boy! Nobody ever did such a thing."
- Cyrus shook his head. "I don't know, sir."
- Cyrus stiffened at the word. "A coward!"
- Ruth shook her head. "Your duty was to tell the truth--or say nothing."
- Cyrus smiled, and nodded. "I shouldn't wonder if I was."
- Ruth's eyes opened wide, in surprise. "Doesn't what?"
- VIII
- A WORKER OF MIRACLES
- Mr. Heywood turned in surprise. "You say you--you knew of the accident?"
- Dr. Alton smiled. "Possibly somebody is a faster runner than you."
- For a moment Dr. Alton was silent. "Bad news travels fast, Mr. Heywood."
- Cyrus laughed. "Oh, yes; lots of times!"
- Cyrus bobbed his head and grinned. "Yes, just now."
- IX
- DREAMS?
- Dr. Alton raised his eyebrows. "Really? You don't mean----"
- Luther whistled. "Is Cyrus guying us, Doctor, or is he only dotty?"
- Luther smiled. "It will have to be a pretty loud voice."
- Cyrus also smiled. "I have already done it."
- Luther laughed. "Well, no. Not enough to forget my meals."

- The Senior Partner rose and moved toward him. "Are you sure?"
- Cyrus bowed. "Then it is the largest you have ever seen?"
- The nephew laughed nervously. "Why--there never was such a diamond!"
- The Senior Partner frowned. "Impossible!"
- Cyrus Alton's eyes opened wider. "A million dollars?"
- Mr. Bressani shrugged his shoulders: "Anything."
- Nephew William laughed. "And it must be a long way off, Cyrus."
- Mr. Bressani's eyebrows again went up. "Ruins of what?"
- Cyrus smiled. "Yes, you could see it that way--if you wished."
- Again Cyrus seemed amused. "But the moon fits it."
- Mr. Bressani frowned. "Larger than this?"
- Cyrus smiled. "Yes, sir, I shall be glad to do so."

- He spoke again. "This certainly is not a hospital, is it?"
- She laughed. "You are doing fairly well."
- XVI
- THE SOUL OF A SONG
- XVII
- She seemed embarrassed. "Ruth says she--she----"
- XVIII
- THE CAÑON OF DESPAIR
