Armistead in her life, and she would not now give her the satisfaction of driving off to tell the town that Sylvia van Tuiver had seen Frank Shirley, and had been overcome by it, and had taken refuge behind the skirts of her little sisters! "You can see I have my carriage full of pupils" she said, smilingly. "How happy it must make you, Sylvia coming home and meeting all your old friends!
Sallie Ann went in to review the remains, and when she came out a sentimental voice inquired: "And how does our poor Ruth look?" "Oh," was the answer, "as old and grey as ever!" Now Mrs. Armistead stopped Sylvia in the street: "My dear, how goes the eugenics campaign?"
General Macomb, who had signalized himself in the defense of Plattsburg, was placed at the head of the Corps of Engineers, to which he had originally belonged, and in which he had acquired great experience, Colonel Armistead, then at the head of that corps, having voluntarily accepted one of the new regiments of artillery, for which he possessed very suitable qualifications.
Down the slope across the plain and up the hill the waves rolled, their thinning ranks closing the wide gaps torn each moment by the fiery sleet of iron and lead. A handful of them lived to reach the Union lines on those heights. Armistead, with a hundred men, broke through and lifted his battle flag for a moment over a Federal battery, and fell mortally wounded.
"A thousand fell where Kemper led, A thousand died where Garnett bled. In blinding flame and strangling smoke The remnant through the batteries broke And crossed the works with Armistead." The Union army was for the first time fighting a great battle on Union soil. The homes of many who were engaged stood within sound of the Gettysburg cannon.
She heard the sound of a vehicle close beside her carriage, and turned and found herself looking into the sharp eyes of Mrs. Armistead. It happened that Sylvia was on the side away from the curb, and there was no one talking to her; so Mrs. Armistead ran her electric alongside, and had the stirring occasion to herself.
Garnett was killed; Armistead fell, mortally wounded, as he leaped on the breastworks, cheering and waving his hat; Kemper was shot and disabled, and the ranks of the Virginians were thinned to a handful. The men did not, however, pause.
Gaps opened here and there. Armistead, who led the advance, saw his forces sink to the earth; but he did not waver. Nearer and nearer the column came to the Union line. It struck the Union line. There was a momentary melee among the guns, and then all was over. Hancock's infantry rose with flash on flash from among the rocks by which they were partially protected.
They are packed in various ways, and nowadays suffer but little in the transit. The ova should always be carefully washed before they are placed in the hatching trays. Mr. Armistead, in A Handy Guide to Fish Culture, says: "If just turned out of a packing case there may be small pieces of moss or other material amongst them.
A chorus of protests greeted her decision. "You shan't, Hermia," shouted Reggie Armistead, "until either Salignac or I have tried it out." "You will oblige me, Reggie," replied Hermia calmly, "by minding your own business." "O Hermia, after falling this morning! How can you dare?" cried Miss Van Vorst, with a genteel shudder. "Si Mademoiselle me permettrait " began Salignac.
