The countless white-plumed riders were charging by, but straight for the drifting lights, straight down the line of roaring troopers, Baldwin paraded his little Whist; and when he was near enough, "We'll heave you a line!" he hailed. "And in God's name get it, for there mayn't be a chance for a second one afore the breakers 'll get you." He placed his mouth to the engine-room tube "Ho-o, Buddie.
'An' did ye no' gang aifter him? he asked in indignant surprise, adding with some contempt, 'Man! but ye're a feckless buddie. 'Billy gone too! said Shaw. 'They might have let Billy alone. Poor Craig stood in a dumb agony. Billy's fall seemed more than he could bear. We went out, leaving him heart-broken amid the ruins of his League.
"Please let me go with you and Stanley." "Do you want to starve, you poor silly thing?" "Yes; I would rather starve with Buddie than stay here by myself." "I want to hear no more of such nonsense. You have not tried starving, and you are too young to know what is really for your good. Now, listen to me.
"You had to go, Buddie now what could you do in that awful place?" Mrs. Tanner was almost reduced to tears. She saw her offspring at the edge of perdition at once. But Bud ignored his mother and went on with his tale. "You jest oughta seen Jap Kemp's face when I told him what that guy said to you! Some face, b'lieve me! He saw right through the whole thing, too. I could see that!
Yo' pappy was a po' man, ha'd wo'kin', an' he wasn't high-toned neither, but from the time I first see him to the day of his death I nevah seen him back down because he was afeared of anything," and Hannah turned to her work. "Little Sister" went up to Bud and slipped her hand in his. "You ain't a-goin' to back down, is you, Buddie?" she said.
"How could the buddie? an' he would be livin' away back in the times when nobody even knew" he added in a loud tone "that the world was round." But Spectacle John had disappeared indoors, and the minister added: "Yes, we have a great many advantages that the Psalmist never had, and the greatest is the knowledge that we need not be afraid. For He became flesh and dwelt among us, you know, Silas."
'Billy, he said, 'Billy, when you get home, give my love to my wife and little Buddie. Then he just seemed to sink into a heap, and I sprang up to 'commands. Boys, through the rest of that fight I could see nothing but Mrs. Morrison's white face, hear nothing but her sobs. Oh, the misery of it all! I seemed to grow into an old man all at once.
We wish her well, this new woman, who is repaying to her home a debt of years. "Oh, 'War, you just must win! I know you will!" "Keep a stiff upper lip, Old Fellow, and give them the best you've got." "Watch your knees, Buddie dear, and don't let them shake. Just think of us before you start, and remember we're pulling for you."
He calls them "Buddie." They salute and are ready to do or die. The last time I saw him he had hiked in from the trenches with the boys. He carried a heavy "war baby" on his back and a tin hat on his head. He was tired and footsore, but there was that laugh, and before he got his pack off he jabbed me in the ribs. "No, sir, we can't get along without our Major!" So says "Buddie."
"We've got 'em this trip!" "We have unless they carry a ten-pounder in which case we'll take a bath. Freeze close, buddie!" Nearer and nearer we drew, but no bally hell came from her. She showed absolutely no sign of anyone, not even a pile of canvas or a box that might hide a sharp-shooter.
