Joseph Potter was also there, and so, also, was Joseph McBride, a notable preacher of Tennessee, that many years ago was one of the pioneers that planted the Christian cause in Oregon.

Neither of these boys being at all athletic, it was rather curious that Bill and Joe Yohe should treat them with so much consideration. Bill was standing before the huge cannon stove, talking with Bettie, when Milton and Shephard returned to the school-house. The man's hard, black eyes were filled with a baleful fire, and his wolfish teeth shone through his long red mustache.
He never'll give Bettie up without a fight. Look out he don't jump onto your neck." "No danger o' that," said Milton coolly. The Yohe boys were strangers in the neighborhood.

Bill's been drinking, and is likely to give Ed trouble.
He's jest makin' Ed mad." A game of "Copenhagen" was going on as they entered. Bettie was in the midst of it, but Milton, in the corner, was looking on and talking with a group of those who had outgrown such games. The ring of noisy, flushed and laughter-intoxicated young people filled the room nearly to the wall, and round and round the ring flew Bettie, pursued by Joe Yohe.
