Citizens should retain a copy of this analysis for future reference. Mr. E.W. Keyes, of Madison, writing under date of August 1st, says: "The La Crosse water you sent me has caused an entire new crop of hair to grow upon my head. I had been bald for years, and offered five hundred dollars, for any medicine that would cause hair to grow. Enclosed find five hundred dollars, and send me more water.
Madison then rose, and, in an eloquent speech, replete with argument, proposed an amendment to the resolution, the effect of which was to discriminate between the public creditors, so as to pay the present holder of assignable paper the highest price it had borne in the market, and give the residue to the person with whom the debt was originally contracted.
"Please, Judy, I want to forget the whole thing." "I don't. I'm going to be an investigating investigator and solve the mystery. Watch slippery Judy, the dauntless detective of Madison Hall. Leave it to her to puzzle out the puzzle." "Better forget it," advised Jane shortly. "Oh, never! Let me have at least one worthy object in life, won't you?" was Judith's blithe plea.
Even after he had notified Madison that his instructions bade him insist, as an indispensable preliminary, on the recall of the President's Chesapeake proclamation, he was treated with deference and assured that the President was prepared to comply, if he could do so without incurring the charge of inconsistency and disregard of national honor.
The end she could not see the end. What would Madison do and there was Thornton. Thornton! She caught her breath a little. Yes; she had promised Thornton she would see him to-night she knew well enough why he wanted to see her last night had told her that he loved her. Her face softened.
When President Madison penned this message he was, in fact, making public avowal of the breakdown of a great Jeffersonian principle. Peaceful coercion was proved to be an idle dream. So well advised was the Committee on Foreign Relations to which the President's message was referred that it could present a long report two days later, again reviewing the case against the adversary in great detail.
The man and the woman reached out and touched him reverently, and drew back reverently to let him pass, and, rising from their knees, followed him through the door and out onto the porch. The room was empty. Madison stared at the doorway. Upon him fell a sudden awe it was as though a vision, an ethereal presence, some strange embodiment of power, had been and gone and yet still remained.
Thornton is going," said Madison gently, "and I know your gratitude is no less than hers it couldn't be less with this little lad restored to you. I am sure you want to show it don't you?" "I think we'd orter go, ma," said Mr. Holmes uneasily. The boy put his hand in Madison's. "I want to go, mister," he choked. "Take me, mister, won't you?" "Yes, I think we'd orter go," repeated Mr. Holmes.
At this I turned and asked Mistress Madison whether these were her cousins; but in the next moment I remembered that they could not be; for, as I knew, the captain had been dead some seven years; yet it was the woman in the galley who answered my question; for she turned and, with something of a red face, informed me that they were hers, at which I felt some surprise; but supposed that she had taken passage in the ship with her husband; yet in this I was not correct; for she proceeded to explain that, thinking they were cut off from the world for the rest of this life, and falling very fond of the carpenter, they had made it up together to make a sort of marriage, and had gotten the second mate to read the service over them.
The farmers, their vocations for the moment changed, waved their whips at him and shouted friendly pleasantries as they drove by with those who were unable to make the trip from the Patriarch's unaided. Madison began to experience a strange, exhilarating sense of uplift upon him, a sort of rather commendatory and gratified feeling with himself.
