"And listen! there is something which may soon shatter all your plans, Mr. Sefton." She pointed backward, where the purplish clouds hung over the Wilderness, whence came the low, sullen mutter, almost as faint as the distant beat of waves on a coast. The Secretary smiled deprecatingly. "After all, you are like other women, Miss Catherwood.
James Lane Alien and Henry B. Fuller are particularly noted for their lucid English and literary style; Cable writes Creole stories of Louisiana; Mary Hartwell Catherwood, stories of French Canadians and the early French settlers in America; Bret Harte, stories of California mining camps; Mary Hallock Foote, civil engineering stories around the Rocky Mountains; Weir Mitchell, Quaker stories of Pennsylvania; and Charles Egbert Craddock lays her plots in the Tennessee mountains.
Gordon not to tell any one; but the farmer was so happy that he said he could not keep it back. It was only three hundred dollars, however." "Then I was misinformed," Catherwood hastened to say with a flush; "but I happen to know he is speculating in Wall Street, and betting on the races." "That is bad; is your information reliable?" "There can be no doubt of its truth."
I have always wished you well where your success was not at the cost of mine. Let us part in friendship, as we may not meet again." Prescott took the extended hand. "I am sorry that chance or fate ever made us rivals," the Secretary went on. "Maybe we shall not be so any longer, and since I retire from the scene I tell you I have known all the while that Miss Catherwood was not a spy.
She opened the door slowly, belief and unbelief competing in her mind, and when it was closed again Prescott insisted upon knowing at once if Miss Catherwood were still in the house. "Yes, she is here," Miss Grayson replied at last and reluctantly. "Then I must see her and see her now," said Prescott, as he quietly took a seat in the chair before her.
It was at tine very height of the festivities that Dorothy Carvel and Mr. Daniel Boone were making their way together to the porch when the giant gate-keeper of Kenilworth Castle came stalking up the steps out of the darkness, brandishing his club in their faces. Dorothy screamed, and even the doughty Daniel gave back a step. "Tom Catherwood! How dare you? You frightened me nearly to death."
"I am going back to Miss Grayson's, to the house and the city from which you helped me with so much trouble and danger to escape." "I am easier in my conscience because I did so," he said. "But Miss Catherwood, do you not fear for yourself? Are you not venturing into danger again?" She smiled once more and replied in a slightly humourous tone: "No; there is no danger.
You shall be a queen to me and to all the rest of the world, for I have much to offer you besides my poor self. However the war may end, I shall be rich, very rich, and we shall have a great career. Let it be here if you will, or in the North, or in Europe. You have only to say." There was then a feeling for him not all hate in the soul of Lucia Catherwood.
There stood the new double mansion Mr. Spencer Catherwood had built two years before on the outskirts of the town, with the wall at the side, and the brick stable and stable yard. As Stephen approached it, the thought came to him how little this world's goods avail in times of trouble.
His conduct drew forth enthusiastic praise from the gentlemen and ladies who had thronged Beauregard and Davis avenues, and honest admiration from the party which had broken up the camp. The boy had behaved well. There were many doting parents, like Mr. Catherwood, whose boys had accepted the parole, whose praise was a trifle lukewarm, to be sure.
