"Is it that bad, Ross?" "Yes; it's that bad. Money's the argument now." "Suppose suppose you lose?" Shelby considered the possibility. "Then I'm ruined. But I shan't lose. I shall win." There was less buoyancy when Bowers had left; more studying of the check-book, much reflection and calculation. Money, money, money; the thought hounded him.

"Good evening, Professor Kennedy," he began brusquely.
The "Butcher Cumberland" not only hounded on his troops with the tempting price of thirty thousand pounds for the Pretender dead or alive, but every adherent of the luckless Jefferson Davis of that day was in peril of life and wholesale confiscation.
