The two friends had turned into Sixth Street and as they drew near the corner of Sixth and Grace, almost ran into Rob Stanard now a prominent lawyer and one of the leading gentlemen of the town. "Eddie Poe, as I'm alive!" he exclaimed, with a hearty hand-clasp. "My, my, what a pleasure! I'm on my way home to dinner, boys. Come in, both of you and take pot-luck with us.
They stood so for a moment, looking at each other, united by a hand-clasp which was not merely passive on her side. "That's right," she said very kindly, almost tenderly. "You'll lose nothing by being a reasonable man." "But I'll come back, wherever you are, two years hence," he returned with characteristic grimness.
He did not appear to bear me any hard feelings, I was glad to see, for my unkindness of the morning. He nodded affably, and said "'do!" to me, in his usual way, as if he had not met me before.

"God bless you, my boy, and good-night." There was a warm hand-clasp, and Cardo left his father sitting by the flickering candle, which had burnt down to its socket. A blue mug containing a little over half a pint. Dear sweetheart. "Oh, dear! what shall I do?"

The smile had a little touch of the old archness which was hers as a child, yet, too, a little of the sadness belonging to the woman. But her hand-clasp was firm and strong; and her touch thrilled him. Power was there, power with infinite gentleness. And he understood her; which was more than all. He turned at the door.
The former, with a warm hand-clasp, faltered a few words of thanks; and Moose, with some embarrassment, said in an undertone, "I'm much obliged, ma'am, fer what you and 'Scotty''s done fer the kid an' the dog.

She put out her hand and took his, as if the hand-clasp were a compact. "Trust God and see," she said.
Then, as soon as might be, Dick entered the wagon, and the hand-clasp from his father was sufficient reward for all his sufferings in the desert. It was midnight before he finished telling of his journey, and reception by the men of Antelope Spring.
