On April 10th four bucks and five squaws rode into Gen. Canby's camp. They were fed and clothed by the commission, loaded with presents, and sent back asking for a conference between the lines. Later in the day Bogus Charley, the Umpqua, came into camp and surrendering his gun, stated that he would not return.
I have read "The Frost Fairies" since, also the letters I wrote in which I used other ideas of Miss Canby's. I find in one of them, a letter to Mr. Anagnos, dated September 29, 1891, words and sentiments exactly like those of the book. At the time I was writing "The Frost King," and this letter, like many others, contains phrases which show that my mind was saturated with the story.
Begun about June 16th. The final orders are dated June 27th. By orders from Washington, issued at Canby's request, June 11th. From the 5th of May to the 15th of June Meade's losses were 51,908, and Butler's 9,234, together 61,142. The first suggestion seems to have come from Butler to Stanton, May 29th, Weitzel concurring.
What healthy country boy would not be? "What are you going to do about it?" he questioned. "Now I'm free I'm going to catch the fellow," I returned decidedly. "He shall not rob Mrs. Canby's house if I can help it." "Aren't you afraid?" "I intend to be cautious." "He may have a pistol." "The widow left one in the house. Maybe I can secure it. Then we'll be on an equal footing."
He had positively declared that John Stumpy was at his house at the time of the robbery of Widow Canby's house, and could not, therefore, be the guilty party. It was easy to guess that in this statement it was his intention to screen his partner in iniquity.
"It is. You broke into the Widow Canby's house and stole over two hundred dollars." In spite of the dirt on his face, John Stumpy grew pale. "Who can prove it?" "Several people. Carson Strong's son, for one." Stumpy sprang to his feet. Then almost as suddenly sat down. "Didn't know he had a son," he said, as carelessly as he could. "Yes, you did," returned the merchant, flatly.
Canby's eyes rested upon a mild-looking young man in a purple silk lounging robe, hob-nailed mountain boots, and a yachting cap with a black patent-leather visor. He was smoking a cigarette with a gold tip and a monogram, held in a hand that was white and carefully manicured. In his surprise, Canby said: "Good evening," almost amiably.
Parsons, take him away." "I shall see you later," whispered Mr. Woodward in my ear as the constable hurried me off. The next instant we were on the street. Arrests in Darbyville were rare, and by the time we reached the jail we had a goodly following of boys and idle men, all anxious to know what was up. "He stole the Widow Canby's money," I heard one man whisper, to which another replied:
The captain derived some satisfaction from the talk; it seemed to him that their daughter's declaration of independence had startled Serena somewhat. She even went so far as to admit that, in spite of Mrs. Black's explanations and gracious commendations, she, herself, had not been impressed by Miss Canby's guests. She and Gertrude would have an interview in the morning, she declared.
His ears grew red to the rims as he thought of it. But she had resented Canby's dishonesty for him that was something; and Wallie was in a mood to be grateful for anything. The cow grunted as she lay down to her slumbers Wallie ground his teeth as he heard her.
