Indeed, it may be as well to state that he was a widower and had paid Widow Canby much attention, which, however, I well knew that good lady heartily resented. No doubt he thought if he could render her any assistance it would help along his suit. "We must catch the fellow at once," he said. "Parsons, you must catch him without fail."
"'Even the worthy Homer sometimes nods," he was quoting gayly. "Wake up, Roger. Visitors!" I started to my feet in much embarrassment. "Miss Van Wyck, Miss Gore Mr. Canby," said Jerry, and I found myself bowing to a very handsome young person, dressed in an outdoor suit of a vivid, cherry color.
Then he realized that it was merely his own excitement and extreme tension of both mind and body. Canby was taking the train forward so gently that its sounds were drowned two hundred yards away in the swirl of wind and rain. The men marched, each line keeping abreast of the train, but fifty yards or more to one side.
The most generous and gratifying letters have been received from Miss Canby by Helen's friends, a few extracts from which are given: Under date of February 24, 1892, after mentioning the order of the publication of the stories in the magazine, she writes: "All the stories were revised before publishing them in book form; additions were made to the number as first published, I think, and some of the titles may have been changed."
Hungerford was, for a wonder, not in when the callers came. He went out very little nowadays, except when Miss Dott and her mother went; then he was always ready to go. Annette declared that the Canby "At Home" was certain to be a most unusual affair. "So er well, so different," she explained. "Miss Canby is a very unusual woman, a unique woman, and her affairs are always as unique as she is.
Ever since you started on the last campaign, and before, I have been attempting to get something done in the West, both to cooperate with you and to take advantage of the enemy's weakness there to accomplish results favorable to us. Knowing Thomas to be slow beyond excuse, I depleted his army to reinforce Canby, so that he might act from Mobile Bay on the interior.
His force will consist of about twenty thousand men, besides A. J. Smith's command. The cavalry you have sent to Canby will be debarked at Vicksburg. It, with the available cavalry already in that section, will move from there eastward, in co-operation.
A little anxiously Pinkey asked: "Don't you bleeve he's had enough?" "Too much scrap left in him yet," Wallie replied, unmoved. Canby shrieked at last: "I'll pay! Let me up!" "You mean that?" "Good God YES!" Pinkey led the horse back and in no gentle fashion Canby was pulled over the edge for the second time, where he lay limp. When his breath and strength returned he struggled to his feet.
Her wide gaze was full upon me. "You what?" "I warned her." "Against what?" "Against Jerry." She straightened and a sound came from her throat. "You " She gave a short laugh. "You'll pardon me, Mr. Canby, but I was on the point of calling you a fool." "I warned her," I muttered. "Jerry isn't like other men. She's playing with fire."
Meeks ran nearly one hundred yards, when he fell, and the squaw escaped unhurt, but badly scared, I presume. As soon as Gen. Canby had fallen George Jones asked if he had better go to headquarters and give the alarm. I told him to go with all possible speed. George reached camp twenty minutes ahead of me.
