Good Lord! most of them just children that Will Cleave, for instance, that used to beg a ride on my load of hay! Four companies of them marched away at noon, with their muskets shining in the sun. All the town was up and out the minister blessing them, and the people crying and cheering! Major T. J. Jackson led them." "The Thunder Run men are going in Richard Cleave's company.
The ball whizzed past Cleave's temple; a second might have found his heart but that Allan Gold, entering somehow the cleared circle made by the furious horse, hung upon the arm sleeved in fine blue cloth, and wrenched the Colt's from the gauntleted hand. Cleave, at the bridle, laughed and took his hands away. "Christmas Carols again!" he said. God save you, merry gentlemen! Let nothing you dismay
He says he'll be a brigadier the first vacancy, and that, if the war lasts, he won't stop there. He'll go very high. You know Carewe? how he talks? 'Yes, by God, sir, Dick Cleave's son's got the stuff in him! Always was a kind of dumb, heroic race. Lot of iron ore in that soil, some gold, too. Only needed the prospector, Big Public Interest, to come along.
It came now as though between eyelid and ball. The eyes, weary and tragic, had rested upon him with intentness as he stood and spoke with Jackson. Maury Stafford Maury Stafford! Cleave's hand struck the sun-warmed stone impatiently. He was not fond of deep unhappiness no, not even in the face of his foe! Why was it necessary that the man should have felt thus, have thought thus, acted thus?
He pointed with his gauntleted hand, turning as he did so in the saddle. The action brought recognition of Cleave's presence upon the road. Stafford ceased speaking and sat still, observing the other with narrowed eyes. Cleave addressed the figure, which, there being no help for it, had come from behind the caisson. "You, Dagg, of course! Straggling or deserting I wonder which this time!
"William 'e give hisself an 'oliday," he explained, "to take the little dorgs and ferrets up to Butcher Cleave's ratting. Powerful sight of varmin there allers be round they sheds and places. Comes after the innards and trimmings they do, as bold as you please." "Oh, yes no doubt.
His eyes, shifting from side to side, met those of Stafford. "Gawd, I'm lost " Stafford regarded his quondam prisoner curiously enough. His gaze had in it something of cruelty, of pondering, and of question. Steve writhed. "I ain't any better 'n anybody else. Life's awful! Everybody in the world's agin me. Gawd knows Major Cleave's so " Cleave made a sound of contempt. Stafford spoke.
Thurgood corroborating as to their presence during the trance and as to Mr. Cleave's statement when he awoke. Mr. Cleave added that he made experiments "for five nights running" before seeing the lady. But the lady mentions her first vision of Mr. "I was so frightened that I nearly fainted." These are all young people. It may be said that all five were concerned in a complicated hoax on Mr.
"Who locked the door?" "Why why " "Take the key out of your pocket and go open it. Faugh! What's your brigade?" "The Stonewall, sir." "Humph! They'd better stone you out of it. Regiment?" "65th, sir. Company A. If you'd be so good just to look at my foot, sir, you'd see for yourself that I couldn't march " "We'll try it with the Rogue's March. 65th. Company A. Richard Cleave's old company."
Suddenly, from High Street, wrapped in mist, a bugle rang out. The order the order the order to the front! It called again, sounding the assembly. Fall in, men, fall in! At sunrise Richard Cleave's company went away. There was a dense crowd in the misty street, weeping, cheering.
