General Scott, at the head of the mounted volunteers, was commanded to make a considerable circuit and turn their right. These, and all the complicated orders of General Wayne, were promptly executed.
"I'm going to have the head at the next place we eat," Sahwah declared, owning her defeat with as good grace as she could. And Fate winked solemnly and began to slide off the knees of the gods. From Toledo to Ft. Wayne, our next stop, there were two routes, the northern one through Bryan and the southern one through Napoleon and Defiance.
P.S. If you persist in the idea to come this way. you may depend upon about 3000 militia in the field, relieved every two months. Your presence will induce them to turn out with great spirit. This letter, and the succeeding one to Gen. Greene, was written while Lafayette was retreating before Lord Cornwallis, and as he was about to cross the Rapidan to form a junction with Wayne.
Please don't get yourself into a hateful mood!" He laughed in real amusement at sight of Katie's puckered face. "I am conscious that feminine wiles are being exercised upon me. I wonder why?" "Because I am so anxious you should like Ann, Wayne, and be nice to her." "Why?" Again it was that probing, provoking why. "Because of what she means to me, I suppose."
But Lawrence Newt, who sat two hours ago just where you are sitting, said, as he looked at the picture, that Endymion was dead." Hope Wayne put her finger to her lip, and looked inquiringly at her companion. "Dead! Did he say dead?" she asked. "Dead," repeated Arthur Merlin. "I thought Endymion only slept," continued Hope Wayne; "but Mr. Newt is a judge of pictures he knows."
Meanwhile, I answered as best I might the flood of questions addressed to me by the two officers, who, having been shut out from the world so long, were naturally eager for military news from Fort Wayne and from the seat of government. As these partially ceased, I asked: "Has a date been set for the abandonment of the Fort?"
"No, less hilarious than Zelda Fraser." Katie spitefully mentioned a former guest whom Wayne had particularly detested. He laughed. "Well, who is she? What did you say her name was?" "Oh Wayne," she sighed long-sufferingly, "again once again let me tell you that her name is Forrest." "What Forrest?" "'Um, I don't believe you know Ann's people." "Not the Major Forrest family?"
"I've always told you I could help you," he went on, with tranquil earnestness, "and I could. You've too many burdens to carry alone burdens that don't belong to you, but which, I know, you'll never lay down. Well, I'll share them. There's Wayne, now. He's too much for you, by yourself I don't mean from the material point of view, but the whole thing. It wears on you. It's bound to.
Yes, and we shall close the book, and still she will be Hope Wayne. How could we help it? How could a faithful chronicler but tell his story as it is? It is not at his will that heroes marry, and heroines are given in marriage. He merely watches events and records results; but the inevitable laws of human life are hidden in God's grace beyond his knowledge.
His career was peculiar, and in order that those who come after us may have a correct account of it, I insert here the substance of the sketch prepared at the request of Colonel Sanders: My brother Malcolm Clark was the oldest child of our parents and their only son. He was born July 22d, 1817, at Fort Wayne, Indiana.
