Then, noting that Colonel North had just stepped out on deck from his stateroom, Captain Cortland added hastily: "Pardon me; I wish to speak with the commanding officer." As colonel and captain met they exchanged salutes. "I told Draney, sir, that I wished to speak with you," Captain Cortland reported, in a low voice. "You don't like Draney?" smiled Colonel North, eying his captain shrewdly.
When it was finished the officers sat in silence for a few moments. "Well, gentlemen," inquired Captain Cortland at last, "have you anything to offer?" "Are you going to arrest the man, Draney?" inquired Captain Freeman, of C Company. "Frankly," replied Cortland, "that is what is puzzling me. What do you think, Freeman?"

Personally, I haven't a doubt that Draney is behind all the trouble of which we're hearing rumors." "What can be Draney's object?" asked Captain Freeman. "Perhaps he hasn't really a sane object," responded Cortland.
Never before had Larry driven so rapidly within New York City limits; he knew this, that any trailing taxicab would be lost behind. At Two-Hundred-and-Forty-Fifth Street the car swung into Van Cortland Park, and switched off all lights. Two minutes later they halted in a dark stretch of one of the by-roads of the Park.
I spent five months there supplying the pulpit of the Rev. Mr. Mitchell, who was absent to recruit his health. In the Autumn I received an invitation to take charge of the Presbyterian Church of Burlington, N.J., founded by the princely and philanthropic Dr. Cortland Van Rensellaer, son of the Patroon at Albany. It was the very place for a young preacher to begin his work.
At Cortland Academy I had seen young men and women assembled in the classrooms without difficulty or embarrassment, and at Yale I had seen that the two or three lecture-rooms which admitted women were the most orderly and decent of all; but perhaps the strongest influence in this matter was exercised upon me by my mother.
