Nor were Sigel's dispositions a brilliant example of offensive tactics. His three divisions, Schurz', Schenck's, and Steinwehr's, supported by Milroy's independent brigade, advanced to the attack along a wide front.

Porter's masses, stretching far to right and left, had already passed the Dogan House; Hatch was entering the Groveton wood; Ricketts was moving forward along Bull Run, and the way seemed clear before them; when loud and clear above the roar of the artillery rang out the Confederate bugles, and along the whole length of the ridge beyond the railroad long lines of infantry, streaming forward from the woods, ran down to the embankment.
I wish you could go with me, but I am afraid you can't sell papers or peanuts enough which is it? to pay expenses. How long are you going to be away?

"It has been thought wise," the Honourable Hilary continued, "to send an annual to the Groveton News. Roberts, his name is.

"No doubt you wonder why I sent for you," said Mr. Armstrong. "Is it about the robbery of the Groveton Bank?" "You have guessed it. You know, I suppose, that I am the owner of the missing box of bonds?" "So I was told.

"If I don't find James Harding, it's because I can't," he said to himself resolutely. Leaving Luke on his way to the Black Hills, we will go back to Groveton, to see how matters are moving on there.
Larkin, leaving Luke to follow. "What sort of a man is this Mr. Duncan?" he asked abruptly. "Squire Duncan?" "Yes, if that is his title." "He is, upon the whole, our foremost citizen," answered the widow, after a slight hesitation. "Is he popular?" "I can hardly say that." "He is president of the bank, is he not?" "Yes." "How long has he lived in Groveton?" "Nearly twenty years."
