"Pop," he said, sharply, "who is this buzzard?" — "Shut yore trap!" snapped Charley, battle in his eyes. "That's Ackerman, relative of Quigley's; th' best six-gun man in th' country."
"Thanks," growled Johnny, staring through narrowed lids at Ackerman, who stood alert, his lips twitching with contempt. "When a dog pesters me I kick him; if he snaps at me I shoot him. I'm goin' to kick you to yore cayuse an' yore friend."

# The Marathon Mystery

* information about this edition.
* sister projects: Commons category, Wikidata item.
   Review in The Bookman, Dec. 1905: Mr. Stevenson's The Marathon Mystery is far and away a better story than his Holladay Case. With it the author has stepped at once to the front rank among American writers of detective tales. [...] In a general way The Marathon Mystery belongs to the type that Anna Katharine Green introduced to us ten or fifteen years ago with The Leavenworth Case and Behind Closed Doors. It is written or at least constructed backwards. The writer plans the last half dozen chapters of the book, mapping out the vital complications and every detail of what happened in the room in Chapter One or Two of the story. …

# The Maple Leaf Forever (unsourced)

A 1867 song celebrating Canadian confederation, and the regimental march of The Queen's Own Rifles of Canada and The Royal Westminster Regiment. Warning: template has been deprecated.

### First verse

    In days of yore from Britain's shore
    Wolfe, the dauntless hero, came
    And planted firm Britannia's flag
    On Canada's fair domain.
    Here may it wave, our boast, our pride,
    And, joined in love together,
    The Thistle, Shamrock, Rose entwine
    The Maple Leaf forever.

### Chorus

    The Maple Leaf, our emblem dear,
    The Maple Leaf forever!
    God save our King and Heaven bless,
    The Maple Leaf forever!

### Second verse

    At Queenston Heights and Lundy's Lane
    Our brave fathers, side by side,
    For freedom, homes, and loved ones dear
    Firmly stood and nobly died.
    And those dear rights which they maintained,
    We swear to yield them never!
    Our watchword evermore shall be
    The Maple Leaf forever!

### Third verse

    Our fair Dominion now extends
    From Cape Race to Nootka Sound;
    May peace forever be our lot,
    And plenteous store abound:
    And may those ties of love be ours,
    Which discord cannot sever,
    And flourish green o'er Freedom's home
    The Maple Leaf forever.

### Fourth verse

    On merry England's far-famed land
    May kind Heaven sweetly smile;
    God bless old Scotland evermore
    And Ireland's Emerald Isle.
    Then swell the song both loud and long,
    Till rocks and forest quiver;
    "God save our King and Heaven bless
    The Maple Leaf forever!"

# The Marathon Mystery/Front matter

THE MARATHON MYSTERY
THE MARATHON MYSTERY
The Holladay Case
A MYSTERY OF NEW YORK AND ETRETAT
By BURTON E. STEVENSON
With Frontispiece by ELIOT KEEN. 10mo. $1.25
This is one of the new and artistic style of detective stories, somewhat in the vein of Conan Doyle. It is now in its fifth American impression, and has been republished in England. The tale begins with the finding of a New York banker stabbed to death in his office. Suspicion falls on his daughter. A kidnapping and pursuit over seas follow. The story contains a minimum of horror and a maximum of ingenuity.
N. Y. Tribune: "The reader will not want to put the book down until he has reached the last page. Well written into the bargain."
Springfield Republican: "Unusually clever."
Critic: "Almost instantly commands the reader^s attention."
Boston Transcript: "Developed with novelty and originality ... may be heartily commended."
Chicago Record-Herald: "Conan Doyle and Anna Katharine Green have a worthy rival in Burton E. Stevenson."
Buffalo Commercial: "Of rare interest and intricacy."
Washington Post: "Extremely clever."

# The Maori Pig Market

In distant New Zealand, whose tresses of gold The billows are ceaselessly combing, Away in a village all tranquil and old I came on a market where porkers were sold -- A market for pigs in the gloaming.
And Maoris in plenty in picturesque rig The lands of their forefathers roaming, Were weighing their swine, whether little or big, For purchasers paid by the weight of the pig -- The weight of the pig in the gloaming.
And one mighty chieftain, I grieve to relate, The while that his porker was foaming And squealing like fifty -- that Maori sedate, He leant on the pig just to add to its weight -- He leant on the pig in the gloaming.
Alas! for the buyer, an Irishman stout -- O'Grady, I think, his cognomen -- Perceived all his doings, and, giving a shout, With the butt of his whip laid him carefully out By the side of his pig in the gloaming.
A terrible scrimmage did straightway begin, And I thought it was time to be homing, For Maoris and Irish were fighting like sin 'Midst war-cries of "Pakeha!" "Batherashin!" As I fled from the spot in the gloaming.

# The Laxdaela Saga/Chapter LXVI

That winter Osvif fell ill and died, and a great loss that was deemed, for he had been the greatest of sages. Osvif was buried at Holyfell, for Gudrun had had a church built there. That same winter Gest Oddleifson fell ill, and as the sickness grew heavy on him, he called to him Thord the Low, his son, and said, "My mind forebodes me that this sickness will put an end to our living together. I wish my body to be carried to Holyfell, for that will be the greatest place about these countrysides, for I have often seen a light burning there."
Thereupon Gest died. The winter had been very cold, and there was much ice about, and Broadfirth was laid under ice so far out that no ship could get over it from Bardastrand. Gest's body lay in state two nights at Hagi, and that very night there sprang up such a gale that all the ice was drawn away from the land, and the next day the weather was fair and still. Then Thord took a ship and put Gest's body on board, and went south across Broad firth that day, and came in the evening to Holyfell. Thord had a good welcome there, and stayed there through the night. In the morning Gest's body was buried, and he and Osvif rested in one grave. So Gest's soothsaying was fulfilled, in that now it was shorter between them than at the time when one dwelt at Bardastrand and the other in Saelingsdale. Thord the Low then went home as soon as he was ready. That next night a wild storm arose, and drove the ice on to the land again, where it held on long through the winter, so that there was no going about in boats. Men thought this most marvellous, that the weather had allowed Gest's body to be taken across when there was no crossing before nor afterwards during the winter.
# The Laxdaela Saga/Chapter LXVII

Thorarin was the name of a man who lived at Longdale: he was a chieftain, but not a mighty one. His son was named Audgisl, and was a nimble sort of a man. Thorgi1s Hallason took the chieftainship from them both, father and son. Audgisl went to see Snorri Godi, and told him of this unfairness, and asked him to help. Snorri answered only by fair words, and belittled the whole affair; but answered, "Now that Halla's-grig is getting too forward and swaggering. Will Thorgils then happen on no man that will not give in to him in everything? No doubt he is a big man and doughty, but men as good as he is have also been sent to Hel." And when Audgisl went away Snorri gave him an inlaid axe. The next spring Thorgils Hallason and Thorstein the Black went south to Burgfirth, and offered atonement to the sons of Helgi and his other kinsmen, and they came to terms of peace on the matter, and fair honour was done (to Helgi's side). Thorstein paid two parts of the atonement for the manslaughter, and the third part Thorgils was to pay, payment being due at the Thing. In the summer Thorgils rode to the Thing, but when he and his men came to the lava field by Thingvellir, they saw a woman coming to meet them, and a mighty big one she was. Thorgils rode up to her, but she turned aside, and said this --
    "Take care
    If you go forward,
    And be wary
    Of Snorri's wiles,
    No one can escape,
    For so wise is Snorri."
And after that she went her way.
Then Thorgils said, "It has seldom happened so before, when luck was with me, that you were leaving the Thing when I was riding to it."
He now rode to the Thing and to his own booth. And through the early part the Thing was quiet. It happened one day during the Thing that folk's clothes were hung out to dry. Thorgils had a blue hooded cloak, which was spread out on the booth wall, and men heard the cloak say thus --
    "Hanging wet on the wall,
    A flooded cloak knows a braid (trick);
    I do not say he does not know two,
    He has been lately washed."
This was thought a most marvellous thing. The next day Thorgils went west over the river to pay the money to the sons of Helgi. He sat down on the lava above the booths, and with him was his foster-brother Halldor and sundry more of them were there together. The sons of Helgi came to the meeting. Thorgils now began to count out the money. Audgisl Thorarinson came near, and when Thorgils had counted ten Audgisl struck at him, and all thought they heard the head say eleven as it flew off the neck. Audgisl ran to the booth of the Waterfirthers and Halldor rushed after him and struck him his deathblow in the door of the booth. These tidings came to the booth of Snorri Godi how Thorgils was slain.
Snorri said, "You must be mistaken; it must be that Thorgils Hallason has slain some one."
The man replied, "Why, the head flew off his trunk."
"Then perhaps it is true," said Snorri. This manslaughter was peacefully atoned; as is told in the Saga of Thorgils Hallason.
# The Mirror of the Sea/Chapter XXXVIII

XXXVIII.
Happy he who, like Ulysses, has made an adventurous voyage; and there is no such sea for adventurous voyages as the Mediterranean—the inland sea which the ancients looked upon as so vast and so full of wonders. And, indeed, it was terrible and wonderful; for it is we alone who, swayed by the audacity of our minds and the tremors of our hearts, are the sole artisans of all the wonder and romance of the world.
It was for the Mediterranean sailors that fair-haired sirens sang among the black rocks seething in white foam and mysterious voices spoke in the darkness above the moving wave—voices menacing, seductive, or prophetic, like that voice heard at the beginning of the Christian era by the master of an African vessel in the Gulf of Syrta, whose calm nights are full of strange murmurs and flitting shadows. It called him by name, bidding him go and tell all men that the great god Pan was dead. But the great legend of the Mediterranean, the legend of traditional song and grave history, lives, fascinating and immortal, in our minds.
The dark and fearful sea of the subtle Ulysses' ​wanderings, agitated by the wrath of Olympian gods, harbouring on its isles the fury of strange monsters and the wiles of strange women; the highway of heroes and sages, of warriors, pirates, and saints; the workaday sea of Carthaginian merchants and the pleasure lake of the Roman Cæsars, claims the veneration of every seaman as the historical home of that spirit of open defiance against the great waters of the earth which is the very soul of his calling. Issuing thence to the west and south, as a youth leaves the shelter of his parental house, this spirit found the way to the Indies, discovered the coasts of a new continent, and traversed at last the immensity of the great Pacific, rich in groups of islands remote and mysterious like the constellations of the sky.
The first impulse of navigation took its visible form in that tideless basin freed from hidden shoals and treacherous currents, as if in tender regard for the infancy of the art. The steep shores of the Mediterranean favoured the beginners in one of humanity's most daring enterprises, and the enchanting inland sea of classic adventure has led mankind gently from headland to headland, from bay to bay, from island to island, out into the promise of world-wide oceans beyond the Pillars of Hercules.
