You be patient, chile," chuckled Uncle Rufus. "Dar was de long table, all set wid shinin' silber, an' glistenin' cut glass, an' de be-you-ti-ful ol' crockery dat Madam Colby das Mars' Colby's gre't-gran-mammy brought f'om Englan'. Dar was ten plates beside de famb'ly.
'Yo' didn't clap yo' han's at dat goose on de table! er, he! he! he!" And so Uncle Rufus finished the story of the Christmas goose. Ruth started the younger ones to bed immediately; but Tess called down from the stair: "Uncle Rufus! He didn't make her go see the field overseer, did he?" "Sho'ly not, chile. Dat wasn' Cunnel Mark Colby's way. My ol' mammy knowed wot would han'le him.
The word came sharply and loudly from Miss Colby's lips, giving evidence that in her dreams she was now behind her counter in the great department store of Sieber-Mason. Her head suddenly bobbed over sideways. She awoke, sat straight, and rubbed her eyes. The Man from Nome was gone. "Gee! I believe I've been asleep," said Miss Colby "Wonder what became of the White Wings!" Money talks.
Colby's Washington venture that she continued to publish her Woman's Tribune there for the next 16 years Harper, Anthony, II, p. 637. Woman's Tribune, Feb. 22, 1890. The credit for achieving union after two years of patient negotiation goes to Rachel Foster Avery, secretary of the National Association, and to Lucy Stone's daughter, Alice Stone Blackwell, secretary of the American Association.

"I will abide by the result, whatever it may be." "May I ask a few questions?" Maud timidly inquired. He turned to her with an air of relief. "Most certainly you may, Miss Stanton." "And you will answer them?" "I pledge myself to do so, if I am able." "Thank you," she said. "I am not going to interfere with Mr. Colby's plans, but I'd like to help you on my own account, if I may."
The young attorney still maintained his jaunty air, although red-eyed from his night's vigil, and when he saw the Stanton girls and their Aunt Jane having breakfast by an open window he eagerly begged permission to join them, somewhat to Uncle John's amusement. "Well?" demanded Maud, reading Colby's face with her clear eyes. "I made a night of it, as I promised," said he.
Another happy development was Clara Colby's decision to publish her Woman's Tribune in Washington during the conference. Mrs. Colby's Tribune, established in Beatrice, Nebraska, in 1883, had since then met in a measure Susan's need for a paper for the National Association and she welcomed its transfer to Washington.
For I found that Ben Nyland didn't brand them cattle at all it was another man, living down the basin. That nester near Colby's. He done it. But he sloped before we could get a rope on him.
