Manston once more repeated his offer; and once more she refused, but this time weakly, and with signs of an internal struggle. Manston's eye sparkled; he saw for the hundredth time in his life, that perseverance, if only systematic, was irresistible by womankind.
"Are you all right now?" asked Darry, holding his chum up. "If you'll help me to the bank I shall be, I think," answered Prescott weakly. "Why, what " began Dave anxiously. "I was badly bruised by being pinned under the car," Dick admitted, in a still weaker voice. "No bones broken, eh?" broke in Greg Holmes. "I -I think not," Dick answered. "Don't keep him talking," ordered Dave sternly.

On the night of April 30th Lee perceived that Sedgwick's movement was only a feint, and gathered all his forces, 62,000 strong, to fight at Chancellorsville. He fortified himself so firmly that Hooker with 64,000, or, including Sedgwick's two corps and the cavalry, 113,000, made not a single step of further advance. Nor was this the worst.
