Thus they saw nothing of Albany, but on the tenth day they reached Fort Edward, and for the first time viewed the great Hudson. Here they stayed as short a time as might be, pushed on by Glen's Falls, and on the eleventh night of the journey they passed the old, abandoned fort, and sighted the long stretch of Lake George, with its wooded shore, and glimpses of the mountains farther north.
It was understood that these powers were not to be exercised unless special conditions made it necessary for them to step in and take charge of the boy. "Mrs. Hutchins wants to find out now whether such conditions exist. At the time of the death of Glen's father, he lived in Baltimore, and his uncle and aunt, who took charge of him, lived there, too.
"I'd be more excited if they found a gushing spring, my boy. I don't excite easily over buried gold." "Well, we'll soon see. If I get hold of that pick I'll soon have that box loose." Matt Burton did not really relish Glen's aid, but he could offer no valid objection. A few rapid and accurate strokes with the pick loosened the hard earth, and Apple and Matt quickly spaded it out.
Looking down she saw her father approaching with such visible signs in face and demeanor of strong excitement that she arose and went to him. "Why, father, what can be the matter?" she said, stopping in front of him, with the open book pressed to her breast. "Matter enough, I'm afraid, Rachel. There's been a battle near a place called Rich Mountain, in Western Virginia, and Harry Glen's "
"I'm not worryin' about yer dad, or anyone else," Curly replied. "He'll have all he can attend to without botherin' about me. Most likely he's in a hotter place now than ever he struck on earth." Into Glen's eyes leaped an expression of wild fear, as the meaning of Curly's words dawned upon her. "Ye understand?" Curly sneered. "Two can play at this game, remember, an' mebbe more'n two."
She placed the baby in Glen's arms. The father somewhat awkwardly tossed him up and down. "Now be careful," admonished the mother, "don't muss his clothes up like that. Today is his first public appearance, you know." "Your coming out, eh?" he asked of the baby. "Well, we'll have to be good, won't we." This was in the front room.
"The boy's all right," replied Mr. Gates. "I have something to say to him, that's all. If he will come over here we will drive on a few feet while I say it." Glen's thoughts flew back to the folded newspaper and he was instantly suspicious. "I don't want to get down," he said. "This gentleman's agreed to give me a ride to town and I don't want to keep him." "But I want you to stay," replied Mr.

Perhaps the reputed mining property was likewise a myth or if such a property existed, Glen might never have heard of it at all. But Glen's letter she was always forgetting that letter the one he had written to Searle. She said: "Where is this mine that Glen has found?" He colored slightly. "We have all agreed not to talk too much about it yet. It's not very far from here I can tell you that.
From the first there had been a feeling of ill-will between them, a feeling that had been manifest in looks and silent expressions as well as in one sharp interchange of words. Now, to Glen's disgust, he found himself assigned to Burton's patrol, and the very first work for which he was detailed was that of camp cleaning.
