"Didn't I tell you everything would come as we wished it?" said the sanguine Langdon. "Abe Lincoln may be the best rail-splitter that ever was, but I fancy he isn't such a terrible fighter." "Let's wait and see," said Harry, with the impression of Shepard's warning words still strong upon him. His caution was not in vain.
Dante, one of the bravest, but hardest bestead of God's saints, was, just like you, well-nigh giving up the mountain altogether when his Greatheart, who was always at his side, divining what was going on within him, said to him "Those scars That when they pain thee most then kindliest heal." "The more I do," complained one of Thomas Shepard's best friends to him, "the worse I am."
De trouble is 'er sister woiks in de same place. We got ter git dat girl fired, and den it'll be easy goin'. De goil gits home widout de sister findin' out about it, she tells Shepard. I don't quite pipe de dope on dis butt-in guy. But he sure spoiled Shepard's beauty fer a week. Dere's only one t'ing I kin suspect." "All right, shoot it. You know I'm busy.

"If our generals will only give us a chance." Shepard's prediction that his news would soon prove true was verified almost at once.
Two shots were fired by the Union men at the same instant, and then both parties dropped back from the crest, each on its own side. Sherburne's men were untouched and Harry was confident that Shepard's had been equally lucky the shots had been too hasty but it was nervous and uncomfortable work, lying there in the snow, and waiting for the head of an enemy to appear over the crest.

"I don't see that it's my move," said Shepard, as he floated calmly. "You're following me for the purpose of capturing me." "To capture you, or delay you.
Sarah Shepard's father had died after having cleared one hundred and twenty acres of the cut-over timber land and it had been left to her.
