"Cumberland went to you when he got out of the valley?" queried Purvis with a grin. "Straight." "And then where did Cumberland go?" "I s'pose he went home an' joined his gal." "He didn't," said Purvis drily. "Then where is he? An' who the hell cares where he is?" "They're both at Buck Daniels's house." "Look here, Purvis, ain't Buck one of your own men?
Daniels's uniform I put 'em right behind the widow and the marine and me. "Well, it appears that one of 'em talks French good real good, I mean, sir like a frawg waiter or a coacher." "Or a what?" interjected Erskine. "Or a coacher," repeated Steve, with dignity. "The fact is, he talked it so good that well, never mind that yet. He's a smart fellow, though, Mr. Erskine, by the name of Rathbone.
Thus viewing his prey, the aviator descends and drops a depth-bomb into the water. Our airmen have already won great commendation from the British Admiralty and aerial commanders. Whatever may have been the delays in airplane production in this country, the American Navy has not been at fault, and Secretary Daniels's young men went into British seaplanes when American planes were not at hand.
All day at the Daniels's house the fever grew perceptibly, and that night the family held a long consultation. "They's got to be somethin' done," said Buck. "I'm goin' to ride into town tomorrow an' get ahold of Doc Geary." "There ain't no use of gettin' that fraud Geary," said Mrs. Daniels scornfully. "I think that if the boy c'n be saved I c'n do it as well as that doctor.
Daniels's uniform and the rooster on my sleeve, and I guess decides that I'm eligible to the club. Anyway, she sorta nodded at me and pretty soon begun to snuffle and look for her handkerchief. It wasn't no use, though, for she didn't have any. "Meanwhile we was crossin' one of them bridges just crawlin' along like one of the motors had quit and the other was hittin' only on three.
The young man demurred a little at thrusting himself upon the hospitality of the Daniels's home, but Keziah assured him that his unexpected coming would cause no trouble. So he entered the now dark study and came out wearing his coat and carrying his hat and valise in his hand. "I'm sure I'm ever so much obliged to you," he said.
He worked hard in his study and at his pastoral duties, and was conscious of a pleasant feeling that he was gaining his people's confidence and esteem. A week from the following Sunday he dined in state at the Daniels's table. Captain Elkanah was gracious and condescending. Annabel was more than that.
Of course nobody knew that Nat was goin' to marry Keziah then, but they did know that he wa'n't goin' to marry Grace Van Horne, and had given her up to the minister of his own accord. So Daniels's guns was spiked and he didn't stand no chance at all. However, you'd never have guessed it to look at him.
But Captain Daniels's voice caused her to halt once more. "There! there!" it said in a tone of relief. "That's better. Set still now. Be quiet, that's it. Shall I get some water?" "No, no! let me be. Just let me be. I ain't what I used to be and this I'm all right, I tell you. Grace! And and What was it you just said? I I don't b'lieve I heard it right."
To Secretary Daniels's narrative may be added a brief account of the terms in which the French official journal cited the 4th American Brigade under Brigadier-General Harbord on December 8. The citation says the brigade, in full battle array, was thrown on a front which the enemy was attacking violently and at once proved itself a unit of the finest quality.
