Remaining there a couple of days, I returned to Louisville; on the 22d of October, General Negley's brigade arrived in boats from Pittsburg, was sent out to Camp Nolin; and the Thirty-seventh Indiana., Colonel Hazzard, and Second Minnesota, Colonel Van Cleve, also reached Louisville by rail, and were posted at Elizabethtown and Lebanon Junction.
Can't you put it off until after the fifteenth?" asked Mr. Hazzard in alarm. "Too much money in it," Connie said, shaking her head. "Well well, we expected to to pay, of course," Carter said, embarrassed at this crudeness. And Julia, blushing furiously, muttered, "Oh it wasn't the PAY!" "Could your people pay it?" "Why why, I suppose we could," Hazzard said uncomfortably.
"You think you can," burst out the delighted reporter, "oh, Frank, if you do, I'll I'll make you famous. I'll write you up as the discoverer of the ship of Olaf and " "That's enough," suddenly interrupted Frank, "if you want to do me a favor, Billy, never mention any more about that till Captain Hazzard himself decides to tell us about it.
"I have sent word to them that we will try to rescue them, but I'm afraid it's a slim chance. I must tell Captain Hazzard at once." Followed by the other two, Frank dashed up the few steps leading to the deck and unceremoniously burst into the captain's cabin where the latter was busy with a mass of charts and documents in company with Captain Barrington, the navigating commander.
Several shots followed the one the boys had heard and more cries, but they grew rapidly fainter and at the same time the sound of horses galloping away in the distance was heard. "They have carried him off," cried Captain Hazzard. "Can we not chase them and rescue him?" asked Billy, "we've got plenty of men and arms."
"Perhaps you are right, my boy," said Captain Hazzard at length, "at any rate, promise me to run no unnecessary danger." The promise was readily given and with a cheer the men set to work to hoist the cases containing the sections of the aeroplane over the side and row them ashore. The work was carried on under the glare of the searchlights of the two ships.
Hazzard is managing this very affair manager, isn't that it?" "I'm bell-hop for the whole crowd. My sister plays Thomasine, her steady is Tweenwayes, and my Mother's a director in the hospital. Fix it up to suit yourselves; you'll see that I'm every one's goat." Unfortunately, it seems that she has just promised to sign a contract with the Alcazar people." "Oh, shucks!
"I was in some theatricals with your sister, years ago. Every one snubbed me, and no wonder! There was a man named Carter Hazzard and I suddenly seemed to wake up at about that time " "Carter Hazzard!" The horror in Jim's voice rang through the room. Julia frowned. "I only saw him two or three times," she said. "No.
Their heads had hardly touched the pillows before they were off in dreamland a region in which, on that night at least, fires, panthers and sharks raged in inextricable confusion. Before they retired they heard from the lips of Captain Hazzard the puzzle their disappearance from the ship had proved.
He was quite unable to hear where his classmates had been distributed in the other regiments of cavalry and infantry, and he was anxious to know, but even when the line of cadet officers came marching to the front and stood at salute before the battalion commander, and then broke ranks, and as many as a dozen made a rush at their former first captain, eager to take him by the hand and say a word of congratulation before they went bounding away to doff dress hats, plumes, and sashes even then Graham could not see the order, for Colonel Hazzard called for it to show to a bevy of bright-eyed girls, who knew the graduating class, now scattered all over the United States, knew almost every one of them better than they did this, their foremost cadet officer, for George Graham, though he could dance, had seemed to care little for hops and less for girls.
