VI, Part 11, of Winsor's "Narrative and Critical History of America," p. 721. We gathered on the western skirts of the village to give Bowman's company a cheer, and every man, woman, and child in the place watched the little column as it wound snakelike over the prairie on the road to Fort Chartres, until it was lost in the cottonwoods to the westward. Things began to happen in Kaskaskia.

She broke off suddenly and, without looking again at Janice, mounted the steps with her broom and disappeared inside the house. Janice, heartsick and almost in tears, was turning away when a figure appeared from around the corner of the tavern from the direction of the bar-room, in fact. But Frank Bowman's smiling, ruddy face displayed no sign of his having sampled Lem Parraday's bar goods.

Rutherford's Letters are all gleaming with illustrations, some homely enough, like the ill-ravelled hesp, and some classically beautiful, like the arrow that has gone beyond the bowman's mastery.

At one o'clock he silently took up the line of march over the rugged trail toward McInturff's and Bowman's fords, and at five o'clock seized both crossings, with the merest show of resistance from Moore's outlying brigade, and pressed on to Cooley's house, the white house he had noted from Three Top. This landmark, as he knew, was barely thirteen hundred yards from the nearest flank of his enemy.

What of the shaft? The shaft was cut in England: A long shaft, a strong shaft, Barbed and trim and true; So we'll drink all together To the grey goose feather And the land where the grey goose flew. Suddenly a yell, horrible and fierce, uprose from the soldiers, and he heard the bowman's voice no more.

The cowmen whose duty it was to look after the large herd browsing over the thousands of acres composing Bowman's ranch had two annoyances to guard against. It was their duty, as may be said, to keep the animals well in hand. But for this precaution hundreds of them would gradually drift apart until, when the time came for rounding them up, they would be gone beyond recovery.

Every morning as we set out with the wet hide chafing our skin, the Colonel would run the length of the regiment, crying: "Who gives the feast to-night, boys?" Now it was Bowman's company, now McCarty's, now Bayley's. How the hunters vied with each other to supply the best, and spent the days stalking the deer cowering in the wet thickets.

Fortunately, his great strength and his kindly nature were equal to the burden. Mother and children were landed safely in their new home on Bowman's Hill the day that David was eighteen. I have heard the old folks of that country tell what a splendid figure of a man he was those days six feet one in his stockings and broad at the shoulder. His eyes were grey and set under heavy brows.

The rest of you shall march for Kentucky," he cried, "as soon as Captain Bowman's company can be relieved at Cahokia. The regiment is dismissed." For a moment they remained in ranks, as though stupefied. It was Cowan who stepped out first, snatched his coonskin hat from his head, and waved it in the air. "Huzzay for Colonel Clark!" he roared.

Somebody told me the other day that she was to have a part in one of Bowman's things this winter." "It's amazing to me that Magsie doesn't get ahead faster," Rachael had mused. No more was said. And how pretty she was, how young she was, Rachael thought now, with a stabbing pain at her heart. How earnestly they were talking no ordinary conversation.
