CHAPTER X 

NAT POOLE WANTS TO KNOW 

That evening Dave was on his way to the school library, to consult a certain work of reference, when he ran into another student who suddenly grasped him by the shoulder. It was rather dark where the pair confronted each other, and for the instant our hero did not recognize the fellow. 

"What do you want?" 

"I want to speak to you for a minute, Dave Porter," said the other, in a voice that trembled a trifle. 

"Oh, it's you, Nat," answered Dave, as he recognized the son of the Crumville money-lender. "What do you want?" He rather imagined that the youth wished to pick another quarrel with him. 

"I--I want to talk in private with you," returned Nat, and looked around, to see if anybody else was near. 

"What about?" 

"You were out walking this afternoon and met that wild man, so I heard." 

"That is true." 

"You tried to catch him, didn't you?" 

"Yes, Roger Morr, Buster Beggs, Gus Plum, and I did our best to collar him, but he was too fast for us. He ran down to the river, got into a rowboat, and rowed away." 

"So I heard. And I heard something else," continued the boy from Crumville. "When you called to the man to stop he answered back, didn't he?" 

"Yes." 

"Will you please tell me what he said?" And Nat's voice had an eager ring in it. 

"He told us to beware and go back, or we'd get into trouble."

A genus (,  genera) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms in biology. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. 

The composition of a genus is determined by a taxonomist. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: 

Moreover, genera should be composed of phylogenetic units of the same kind as other (analogous) genera. 

The term comes from the Latin ' ("origin; type; group; race"), a noun form cognate with ' ("to bear; to give birth to"). Linnaeus popularized its use in his 1753 "Species Plantarum", but the French botanist Joseph Pitton de Tournefort (1656–1708) is considered "the founder of the modern concept of genera". 

The scientific name of a genus may be called the generic name or generic epithet: it is always capitalized. It plays a pivotal role in binomial nomenclature, the system of naming organisms.

Mark Twain is a name not usually connected with Broadway , but now his play "Is He Dead" will receive its first public performance on November 29. "Is He Dead" was written by Mark Twain in 1898 but was never performed. It was rediscovered in 2002 by Shelley Fisher Fishkin, an English professor and director of the American Studies Program at Stanford University. It was published the following year by the University of California Press. The story is about a group of poor artists who fake the death of their friend in order to increase the value of his work. "Is He Dead" is set in France in the 1840s and centers on the French painter Jean-Francois Millet. "Millet was probably the most popular European painter in the United States in Twain's lifetime," Fishkin said in a telephone interview. "Americans greatly admired him because he focused on the life of the common man and the common woman." According to Fishkin, "Is He Dead" is a satire about how value is created in the art world. Twain wrote the play when he was coming out of the hardest time of his life.
