My little girl Dorothy had the whole thing planned out, and talked me over to her way. She is very fond of the Travers girl, you know." The office door opened and Mr. MacAllister entered. "Hullo!" he said cheerily. "Been lobbying, Major?" "Seems so." "Well, Travers has my vote," Mr. Ford hurried to say. "What, going back on your party?" said Mr. MacAllister, laughing.
He got up and put a basin of water on the stove to warm, that Ford might bathe his hurts, and he made him a very creditable drink with lemon and whisky and not too much water. "The way I heard it," he explained further, "this lady come to town looking for Frank Ford Cameron, and seen you, and said you was him. So " "I ain't," Ford interrupted indignantly.
Willow-branches lashed him as he pushed through the thickets, and in one place it was only by a grim effort that he drove the frightened beast to ford a flooded creek. Then there was a strip of hillside to be skirted, where the slope was almost sheer beneath the edge of the winding trail, and the rain that drove up the valley beat into his eyes.
"I knew Old Man Chance had a happy coincidence up his sleeve somewhere," he declared with profound and joyous conviction. "Are you a friend of Budge's?" "Friend doesn't half express it! He made the touchdown that won me a clean hundred last season. Outside of that I wouldn't know him from Henry Ford. You see how Fate binds us together."

"If we could only get across here," we said. We knew that once across we should have a respite from the enemy, and could with thankful hearts take breath even if it were only for three or four days. When we came to the river I at once ordered a few burghers to undress and go in. Alas! when the horses entered the ford, the water came over their backs, and they had almost to swim.
I told her if any one could help her to find him you could. I had to say something. She's very ill." "To find her husband in London?" repeated Ford. "London is a large town." "She has photographs of him and she knows where he spends his time," pleaded the doctor. "He is a company promoter. It should be easy for you." "Maybe he doesn't want her to find him," said Ford.
This finally ceased, and he found himself being led up the stream, as he concluded, towards a ford, or to some spot where a crossing might be more easily effected than at the place where he had swum over.
The Ford having been excited into a sort of restless resentful life Clark and Sally Carrol rolled and rattled down Valley Avenue into Jefferson Street, where the dust road became a pavement; along opiate Millicent Place, where there were half a dozen prosperous, substantial mansions; and on into the down-town section.
"No," said another; "don't you see he is striking higher up towards the old ford, where the stepping-stones are!" "He is he is," cried the blacksmith. "Run on run on; don't you see he is crossing it now? Tell me, all of you, are you quite sure he is a vampyre, and no mistake? He ain't the exciseman, landlord, now, is he?" "The exciseman, the devil! Do you think I want to shoot the exciseman?"
