She was a Tolliver and the clan loyalty of a century forbade that was all. As she rose she saw a figure skulking past the edge of the woods. She called Bub in and told him about it, and Rufe stayed at the cabin all night, but June did not see him next morning, and she kept out of his way whenever he came again.
So, bringing out the jug and a saucer, Bub filled the latter with molasses, into which he stirred the powder, and commenced eating the sweet mixture. He knew he had been into mischief that would displease his brother; so, denying himself the first taste, taking the saucer and spoon in his hand, he trudged to the bedside, and said, "Bub made Charlie some tandy. Bub good boy."
I hope you're satisfied that hit hain't him 'stid o' yo' daddy thar." "Are you going to the Gap for a doctor?" "I reckon I can't leave Bub here alone agin all the Falins not even to git a doctor or to carry a love-message fer you." "Then I'll go myself." A thick protest came from the bed, and then an appeal that might have come from a child. "Don't leave me, Juny."
The sudden application of the cold water proved a balm to the sick boy, and, recognizing Bub, he inquired, confusedly, "Where where am I? what's the matter?" "Injun's come!" cried Bub, with renewed earnestness. Charlie attempted to rise, but fell back, exhausted, saying, while a growing faintness crept over him, "I can't get up, Bub, I'm so sick; pull the string."
Conant fixed his dull stare on the boy's face, but Bub went on whittling. However, in the boy's inmost heart was a keen desire to run that motor car, as had been proposed. So he casually remarked: "Ef ye forced me, ye know, I'd jus' hev to do it. Even Will couldn't blame me ef I were forced." Mr. Conant was so exasperated that the hint was enough.
and then adding, of his own accord, "Please, Dod, take care of Charlie, and don't let the dark hurt Bub;" rising, he said, "Bub isn't 'fraid now;" and, descending into the cellar, he crept into his hiding-place in the wall, and carefully readjusted the stone. The Indian that Bub had seen was Long Hair. While he was cautiously reconnoitring, the command under Captain Manly had reached the ground.
Peter had passed most of his two days' vacation in fishing and had been so successful that he promised Aunt Hannah he would surely return the following Friday. He had instructed Bub to "take good care of the womenfolks" during his absence, but no thought of danger occurred to any of them. The Morrisons had occupied the Lodge for years and had never been molested in any way.
The children of the poor are entirely naked and don't have a rag on 'em until they're ten or twelve. A lot of 'em come up to the jinrikishas and called out "oh-hi-o" to Josiah, and he shook his head and sez affably: "No, bub, I'm from Jonesville."
He could not deny his sympathy to a youngster in trouble. Again he touched gently the lad's crisp curls of burnished gold. "Brace up, bub. The worst is yet to come," he laughed awkwardly. "I reckon there's no use spillin' any more emotion over it. He ain't your dad, is he?" The lad's big brown eyes looked up into the serene blue ones and found comfort in their strength.
"That was one of the crudest of the cruelties connected with the outbreak. There was an Indian who made great professions of friendship, visiting our cabin almost daily. You saw him, Tom, when you visited us. We treated him very kindly, and made him many presents. He seemed to have a particular liking to Bub, and Bub was fond of him, and would always run to meet him when he saw him coming.
