And now I must confess to those for surely there will be a few who have felt a little interest, so far, in the fortunes of J. Cole, that a period in my story has arrived when I would fain lay down my pen, and not awaken the sleeping past, to recall the sad trouble that befell him. I am almost an old woman now, and all this happened many years ago, when my hair was golden instead of silver.
Cole," said Kenny steadily, "he may have lost his own money. Of that I know nothing. But what about his sister's?" "Why," said the doctor at once, "she hadn't any. Old Craig senior left it all to Adam. She ran away, you know, and went on the stage. He never forgot it. 'Tisn't much of a story. She was a darned pretty girl, high-spirited and clever, and the old man was a devil like Adam.
And when he had finished this expression of his inmost convictions, Amy burst into tears. "Oh, why are we wasting time?" she cried. "We ought to get Mr. Cole and Joe and all the men around to drive after those people and see who was under that blanket. Oh, dear. Oh, dear!" Dorothy was pulling Peggy's skirt. "Aunt Peggy!

Cole and the chief travelled with great rapidity. They were inured to hardship from infancy, and with nothing to impede their progress, sometimes riding, and sometimes walking, the fourth week out they came to the Arapahoe village in the evening just as the shades of night were drawing to the lodges, the men, women, and children who had scattered themselves during the day through the forest.
I then shortened sail to form the line; but the Eurydice sailing so indifferently, and having so superior a force to contend with, three of the enemy's ships being large frigates, with another which I took for the Thames, and one apparently of twenty-four guns, I directed Captain Cole to make all the sail he could and stand in shore, Guernsey at the time being in sight. See Engraving.
He urged the necessity, the cruel necessity, of such an attempt, and the Major yielded at last, although with great reluctance. "You want volunteers, I suppose?" he said. "Yes. I know that Seth Cole will go, and I'm sure that others, too, will be willing to do so."
As Cole was now a pedestrian, Linden threw the rein over his arm, and walked on foot by his host's side. "So," said he, smiling, "I must not inquire into the reasons of your retirement?" "On the contrary," replied Cole: "I have walked with you the more gladly from my desire of telling them to you; for we all love to seem consistent, even in our chimeras.
