She run off in de night some time nobody don't know jis' when; run off to get married to dat young Harney Shepherdson, you know leastways, so dey 'spec. De fambly foun' it out 'bout half an hour ago maybe a little mo' en' I TELL you dey warn't no time los'. Sich another hurryin' up guns en hosses YOU never see!
At this point Alice stepped forward, and taking Rocket's bridle, laid it across Hugh's lap, saying, softly: "It means that Rocket is yours, purchased by a friend, saved from Harney, for you. Mount him, and see if he rides as easily as ever. I am impatient to be off." But had Hugh's life depended upon it, he could not have mounted Rocket then.
Worthington replied, "I fancy he begins to look old and worn with this perpetual call for money from us. We must economize." "Never mind, when I get Bob Harney I'll pay off old scores," 'Lina said, laughingly, as she arose from the table, and went to look over her wardrobe. Meanwhile Hugh had returned, meeting in the kitchen with Lulu. "Well, Lu, what is it? What's happened?"
Miles had seen her there at the very moment when Charity and Harney were sitting in the Hyatts' hovel, between a drunkard and a half-witted old woman!
"Oh!" said Bolles, comprehending. "Didn't you see that was their game? But he will not go after it." "The flesh is all they seem to understand," murmured Bolles. Half-past Full did not go to Harney City for the tabooed whiskey, nor did any one. Drake read his buccaroos like the children that they were. After the late encounter of grit, the atmosphere was relieved of storm.
"Thet gal thar," drawled a tall mountaineer who supported himself against the chimney and spat with placid regularity into the fire. "They tell me thet gal thar hes writ things as hes been in print. They say she's powerful smart arns her livin' by it. 'T least thet's what Jake Harney says, 'n they's a-boardin' at Harney's.
But everybody knew that "going with a city fellow" was a different and less straightforward affair: almost every village could show a victim of the perilous venture. And her dread of Mr. Royall's intervention gave a sharpened joy to the hours she spent with young Harney, and made her, at the same time, shy of being too generally seen with him.
General Harney was to command the expedition. Col. Albert Sidney Johnston, afterward killed at Shiloh, where he fought on the Confederate side, was in charge of the expedition to which the earliest trains were to be sent. Many of the soldiers had already pushed on ahead. Russell, Majors & Waddell were awarded the contract for taking them supplies and beef cattle.
Harney seemed to find nothing to say and she went on: "I saw you take out a dollar to give to that poor woman. Why did you put it back?" He reddened, and leaned forward to flick a swamp-fly from the horse's neck. "I wasn't sure " "Was it because you knew they were my folks, and thought I'd be ashamed to see you give them money?" He turned to her with eyes full of reproach.
There were thousands who for over a year had never realized what a full meal meant; children by the hundreds "endured the gnawings of hunger until hunger had become to them a second nature"; yet despite this condition of affairs the orders issued to General Harney from Washington display a lamentable ignorance, or a determination to compel the Mormons to feed the troops on the basis of the miracle of "the loaves and fishes."
