I got the man who killed you! Come here!" He pulled the outlaw to his knees beside the dying marshal whose face had lighted wonderfully. He strained his eyes painfully to make out the face of his slayer. Then he turned his head. He said: "The man who killed me was Jim Silent." Dan groaned and leaned close to Calder. "Then I'll follow him to the end " he began.
Some years before, when I was still but a lad, there had come over to us upon a five weeks' visit the only daughter of my father's brother. Willie Calder had settled at Eyemouth as a maker of fishing nets, and he had made more out of twine than ever we were like to do out of the whin-bushes and sand-links of West Inch.
Are you going to try it again, Vavasor?" "If you'll lend me the money I will." "I don't see what on earth a man gains by going into the house," said Calder Jones. "I couldn't help myself as it happened, but, upon my word it's a deuce of a bore. A fellow thinks he can do as he likes about going, but he can't. It wouldn't do for me to give it up, because "
Last June, when he expected a probable junction of the fleet under Villeneuve with the squadron under Admiral Winter, and the union of both with Ganteaume at Brest, Murat was to have had the chief command of the united French, Spanish, and Batavian fleets, and to support the landing of our troops in your country; but the arrival of Lord Nelson in the West Indies, and the victory of Admiral Calder, deranged all our plans and postponed all our designs, which the Continental war has interrupted; to be commenced, God knows when.
Then came Tom the huntsman, with Calder Jones close to him, and Grindley intent on winning his sovereign. Vavasor had also crossed the road somewhat to the left, carrying with him one or two who knew that he was a safe man to follow. Maxwell had been ignominiously turned by the hedge, which, together with its ditch, formed a fence such as all men do not love at the beginning of a run.
"Can I come, too?" asked Tom Calder, addressing the question to Grant. "There will be no objection, I think." "Tell him we'll be on hand." The three left the hotel together, Grant taking a Broadway stage at the door. The quiet man seemed no longer interested in the Boston Journal, for he hung it up in its place, and sauntered out of the hotel.
I dare say the purchase money if it's carefully invested will bring you in as much. But even if it doesn't bring in quite as much, you mustn't forget that Calder Street's going down it's getting more and more of a slum. And there'll always be a lot of bother with tenants of that class." "I wish I could sell everything everything!" she exclaimed passionately. "Lessways Street as well!

Calder knew men, and now he felt a strange absence of any desire to attempt a gun-play. "I was just taking a stroll through the willows," he said, with a mighty attempt at carelessness. "Oh," said the other.
Not until August 8th did he receive news of the fight with Calder, and he took pains to parade it as an English defeat.
For the finishing of the friezes the skill of the artist was needed, and there Calder found able assistants in the two young sculptors, Roth and Lentelli, who worked devotedly themselves and directed groups of students. In all the sculpture Calder strove to keep in mind the significance of the Exposition and the spirit of the people who were celebrating.
