Before Carpenter's approaching cavalry the Indians fled for their lives, and they who a few hours hence would have been swinging bloody tomahawks above our heads were now scurrying to their hiding-places far away. Never tenderer hands cared for the wounded, and never were bath and bandage and food and drink more welcome.
And her heart, tenderer than the jelly rolls in Pfiffel's window, went out to him. Perhaps she had a little boy of her own.... We shall pay particular attention to this sumptuous automobile which was such as to attract attention in modest Bridgeboro.
