"You mean you couldn't do the writing?" "I wouldn't know how to!" "Well then, that's easily arranged. Let me get some one to collaborate with you. There's Richard Haberton you know who he is?" "No," said Thyrsis, faintly. "He's the author of 'The Rajah's Diamond' it's playing with five companions now, and its third season. And he dramatized 'In Honor's Cause' you've seen that, no doubt.

His majesty will expect you this evening, at the palace of St. James, between nine and ten o'clock. "I am, respectfully, monsieur le comte, your honor's very humble and very obedient servant, PARRY." "You see, my dear D'Artagnan," said Athos, "we must not despair of the hearts of kings." "Not despair! you are right to say so!" replied D'Artagnan.
"We come from slavery's grave unbound, And mountains and the vales resound With songs of jubilee. Ascending from Oppression's night, Behold the dawn of freedom's light! Soldiers of God, arise! The enemy will rue this day, For victory's eagle scents the prey And onward quickly flies. To arms! to horse! my comrades brave! And let the battle-standard wave, For now is honor's day.

He was re-elected, but some time afterwards this fact was reprinted in a local periodical accompanied by the remark that "we must conclude that either the railroad and railway companies 4 to 1 had exceptionally good cases from the standpoint of law and justice or his Honor's mind was somewhat warped in their favor....
