At length, after what seemed an age of staring at his legs, the ground caved on him, and he would have smothered if we had not dragged him out by the heels, sputtering and all powdered brown. But there was the daylight under the log. Again Cowan shouted at Ray, and again, but he did not understand. It was then the miracle happened.
He looked again at Merle, fixing knife and fork in a juster alignment on his plate. "I dare say we needed him in the family." Late the following afternoon Sharon triumphantly brought his car to a stop before the gateway leading up to the red farmhouse. The front door proving unresponsive, he puffed about to the rear. He found a perturbed Patricia Cowan, in cap and apron, tidying the big kitchen.
While the corn ripened and the melons swelled and the flax flowered, our axes rang by the river's side; and sometimes, as we worked, Cowan and Terrell and McCann and other Long Hunters would come and jeer good-naturedly because we were turning civilized. Often they gave us a lift. It was September when the millstones arrived, and I spent a joyous morning of final bargaining with Mr.
The Major tells me that you are to get several new Spads in the next two or three days. Until that time, I won't disturb you. I'm driving back into town. Anyone want a lift?" "Thank you, Lieutenant," Hampden spoke up, "Siddons and I are going in. Have you room?" "Certainly. Glad to have you along. Major Cowan, how about you?"
George Cowan had been entrusted with the printed slips of "Uphill Work," and had tried it at two publishers without success. I had to delay any operations till I returned to London, and promised to visit the Cowans there. Jack Bakewell and Edward Lancelot Stirling went to see me off by the night train to Dunbar Station, five miles from Thornton-Loch, and I got there in time for breakfast.
The only satisfaction we had was that we had done the best we could to win and our confidence that with Cowan we could have won even if Holden had not been hurt. We had beaten Harvard the year before with essentially the same team that we played in this game."
Then he called Tom McChesney to him and questioned him closely about our journey, the signs we had seen, and, finally, the news in the Watauga settlements. While this was going on the others gathered round them. "What now?" asked Cowan, when he had finished. "Back to Harrodstown," answered the Colonel, shortly.
I hung around to watch his landin' and then hustled back to my flight." "Fuel up, fly back there and see what's wrong," Cowan ordered. "I've a sneaky suspicion that he wasn't as bad off as he made out." As Yancey turned toward his ship, McGee came up, smiling with pleasure over the success of the flight. "Just a minute, Yancey!" Cowan called. "I've changed my mind. You needn't go back."
Among other accomplishments Merle had been noted in college for his swiftness of foot. He ran well, heading for the north, skillfully avoiding those on the outskirts of the crowd who would have tackled him. Wilbur Cowan watched him out of sight, beyond the area of combat. Then he worked his own way from it and stood to watch the further disintegration of the now leaderless parade.
"What's this?" said he to Cowan, sharply, feeling me with his foot. "I reckon it's Davy, sir," said my friend, somewhat sheepishly. "We can't do nothin' with him. He's been up and down the line twenty times this night." "What doing?" says the Colonel. "Bread and powder and bullets," answered Bill. "But that's all over," says Clark. "He's the very devil to pry," answered Bill.
