"He was either going against Shields at Luray, or King at Catlett's, or Doubleday at Fredericksburg, or going to Richmond." On the 16th it was absolutely certain that he was within striking distance of Front Royal. On the 18th he had gone to Richmond, but Ewell was still in the Valley with 40,000 men.
From time to time he looked quickly at Stone the foreman was in condition to do anything. "Look here, Tom," exclaimed Van Horn in low tones, "suppose you go downstairs and give him a talk yourself. What do you say, Barb?" He shot the words at Doubleday like bullets. Doubleday understood and his teeth clicked sharply. He said nothing -only stared at the foreman with his stony gray eyes.
I can tell you all I'm pretty peckish, too." "So am I, rather," said Crow, winking at the company generally, who all laughed. Awful thought! Suppose there's not enough for them to eat after all! I began to pour out the coffee wildly, hardly venturing to look round. At last, however, I recollected my duties. "That's an eel-pie in front of you, Doubleday," I said.
P. A. Barnett's series of "Song and Story," published by Adam Black, and "The Posy Ring," chosen and classified by Kate Douglas Wiggin and Nora Archibald Smith, published by Doubleday. For older children, "The Call of the Homeland," selected and arranged by Dr.
"Now then," said Doubleday, "make up your fours there, but for goodness' sake don't let both the patriarchs get at the same table! You with the paper and Crow, and Paddy and I we'll have this table, and you other four take the other;" and before I knew where I was I found myself seated at a table, opposite Whipcord, with thirteen cards in my hand. I did not know what to do.
To both which observations I listened respectfully, and returned once more to my desk. The morning passed quickly and busily. I had made a plunge into the difficult task so considerately saved up for me by Doubleday, and felt quite refreshed by the array of figures to be dealt with.
I had my own department of work to attend to, and very little communication with any one else in the doing of it, except with Doubleday, who, as the reader knows, usually favoured me when anything specially uninviting wanted doing. Of Hawkesbury I now saw and heard less than any one.
When Van Horn announced he would ride out with Stone to examine the road hole, Doubleday, whose expression had grown colder and colder, broke in: "Needn't waste any time on that," he said with a snap of his jaw. Stone snorted: "Maybe you think he wasn't hit." "Hit!" exclaimed Barb. "Hit!" he repeated, raising a long forefinger with deep-drawn disgust.
They had all been taken over except the one where she worked at Sleepy Cat Junction and this would be taken soon, Belle thought. "That's the trouble with Barb Doubleday," she went on. "He's got too many irons in the fire head over heels in debt. There's no money now-a-days in cattle, anyway. What are you going up to Doubleday's for?" "He's my father." "Your father? Well!
Meantime she spent a week of delight at the ranch, mostly on horseback, learning the Western horse and Western riding. After her outing, Doubleday took Kate down to the Junction. He went on to Sleepy Cat, but that night he came back ill. In the morning he was not able to get up. Kate telephoned, as he directed, to Sleepy Cat, for Doctor Carpy.
