There was a kindling light of hope in Miss Burton's face, and something in her tone that indicated the courage of an unfaltering trust as she sang the closing lines: "I'll sing upon a happier shore, Thy will be done." But the words brought a deeper despondency to Ida Mayhew.
When it came his turn at length, thanks to a plain little girl for whose admiration he did n't care a straw, he threw the cushion down before Melinda Mayhew with all the devotion he could muster, and a dagger look at Cynthia. And Cynthia's perfidious smile only enraged him the more. John felt wronged, and worked himself up to pass a wretched evening.
Cary's story was simple enough. Rawdon and Lowndes had hardly got away on the train when Sergeant Stowell and his party came searching. Cary hid. He was still half drunk. Some one told him of Kelly's arrest, and charged him with that and with running off the Fosters' sleigh. He dared not face the music. He forgot his precious missive to Dora Mayhew until next day. Then the storm held him.
I gave Cary a note to Miss Mayhew, which he never delivered, and took Lowndes with me on Number Six at 11.40." "Then you were not at Captain Sumter's that night?" "Nowhere near it, sir."

On Monday, at 10 A.M., a section will report aboard for the first trip out to sea. Then you will show our young men how the boat dives, and how she is run under water.
