This may be the fittest opportunity distinctly and definitely to settle the question, which has recently arisen, in reference to these resolutions. On the several occasions of Mr. Duffy's trial, they have been given in evidence as proof of his loyalty, on the assumption that they emanated from him, and that it was through his influence the body was led to adopt them.
I hate to go back on Tom Grogan, but there's no help for it. The ten cents a ton I'd save if she hauls the coal instead of McGaw would be eaten up in Duffy's short weights and rejections. I sent Sergeant Duffy's letter to her, so she can tell how the land lies, and I'm going up now to her house to see her, on my way to the fort.
Your Aunty Biddy's jealous to put her two eyes on you, an' we never getting the news you 'd come till late this morning. 'I 'll go fetch Nora for you, says I, to contint her. 'They 'll be tarked out at Duffy's by this time, says I." "Oh, I 'm full o' tark yet!" protested Nora gayly. "Coom on, then, Uncle Patsy!" and she gave him her strong young hand as he rose.
It was a long moment before he could speak, and when his hands were lowered, Glendin winced at what he saw in the other's face. "God knows I'm not," said Drew. "Suppose we let the shootin' of Calamity go. What of hoss-liftin', sir?" "Horse stealing? Impossible! Anthony he could not be guilty of it!" "Ask your man Duffy. Bard's ridin' Duffy's grey right now."
"Drink?" "Nope. I said I came on business." "What kind?" "Bard." "I thought so." "I want a posse." "What's he done?" "Killed Calamity Ben at Drew's place, started a fire that near burned the house, and lifted Duffy's hoss." Glendin whistled softly. "Nice little start." "Sure, and it's just a beginnin' for this Bard." "I'll go out to Drew's place and see what he's done."
Duffy, Martin, Meagher, Doheny, O'Doherty, and M'Gee were arrested all of whom, except Duffy and Martin, were shortly afterwards liberated. Duffy's trial was fixed for August, and this was the time appointed by the Confederates for the outbreak of the insurrection. There were some who advocated a more prompt mode of action.
He also, by letter to the village authorities at Duffy's Corners, Arkansas, gave order that the remains of the late twins be embalmed by some St. Louis expert and shipped at once to the usurper with bill.
Crane put down at the bottom of his letter to me that he was sorry not to give me the job, but that he must give it to Duffy's friend McGaw, or Duffy might reject the coal.
"Hum!" he was wont to say, looking suspiciously at our wet, sleek heads and general clean appearance clean for us, that is, for the Missouri River, sandy though it was, was vastly cleaner than Duffy's Pond or puddles of that ilk "been in swimming again, have you? In the river, I'll be bound." Two little boys, my brother and I would choke out some sort of a mumbling evasion in lieu of a reply.
It stood at the upper end of the field and played and played and played. The band never did things by halves. When it played it played; and, as Outfield West affirmed, "it played till the cows came home!" There were plenty of familiar faces here to-day; Professor Gibbs's, old "Peg-Leg" Duffy's, Professor Durkee's, the village postmaster's, "Old Joe" Pike's, and many, many others.
