"What does this cost you personally?" hazarded Stoughton a little uncertainly. "A hundred dollars in traveling expenses, and I have assumed a hundred and thirty thousand of town debentures at six per cent. If you don't want it there are others who do." Wimperley looked up. His face had taken on a new expression. He caught Riggs' eye and his lips formed the word "cheap." The latter nodded.
This is the first condemned person who has confessed." The granting of this reprieve was an executive act, that would seem to have belonged to the functions of the person filling the office of Governor; and Phips being absent, it could only have been performed by Stoughton, and shows, therefore, that he, at that time, acted as Governor.
Olivia had urged her inability to leave her father as an excuse for not coming. Davenant said little beyond giving the information that he was taking leave of his host and hostess to sleep that night in his old quarters in Boston and proceed next day to Stoughton, Michigan. "We're going the same way, aren't we?" he asked, as soon as they were outside.
We'll give him one or two of the smaller companies to run and the public needn't know anything about it. I remember the point you made, Stoughton. It's a good one and we've got to look out for it." But Stoughton did not move. "I'll be damned," he said softly, still staring at the roof lines of Philadelphia. "Blast furnaces!" "You will, if you don't come up with us," replied Birch acidly.
We easily captured the guards around the town, as they never dreamed we were anybody but Yankees until they saw pistols pointed at their heads, with a demand to surrender...." Stoughton was taken by Mosby to Culpeper and turned over to Fitz Lee, with whom Stoughton had attended West Point.
"Of course he did, and he still does, and because he is still only twenty years ahead of his time he's all the more dangerous." "Let's get back to this payroll," blurted Stoughton who was getting more and more uncomfortable. "Fishing's pretty good up there, let him fish for it." The voice of Birch was like ice.
Those who shall come after us, who shall fill our places in dear Old Harvard, shall occupy our ancient rooms in Hollis and Massachusetts and Stoughton and Holworthy, have a right not only to count the academic wreaths which have been won in past days by their namesakes, but also to be taught the inspiring lesson of holy love of country, of highest courage and truth and soldierly virtue.
Stoughton and the rest looked puzzled. "We can't pay a dividend if we let Clark build this railway." "Then why build it?" "Clark claims it is necessary to secure a dependable supply of spruce for the pulp mills, and hard wood for the veneer works. He reckons it will cost two million, and says the Government will help but perhaps they won't." He broke off, rather red in the face.

He was breathing audibly through his nose, his watch chain was dangling on a cedar branch a quarter of a mile back, a sharp pain throbbed in a barked shin and his boots were full of water. Still in the lead was Stoughton, who, regardless of all else, had put down his head and was crashing heavily through the underbrush like a young bull moose answering the call of his distant and amorous mate.
