More to my own inconvenience, I found that Major von Heiser had taken the privilege of riding my mare Lucy so hard that she was unfit to use for two days. At last my aunt's chicken-coops suffered, and the voice of her pet rooster was no more heard in the land. I did hear that, as this raid of some privates interfered with the Dutch general's diet, one of the offenders got the strappado.
I am proud to say that I rode it all, but was thankful when it was behind us. Heiser's horse this day got three of his feet over the edge and rolled down eighty or ninety feet, Heiser having jumped off in time to let his mount go alone. It was fortunate for him that this particular cliff was not the scene of this fall.
"Je ne foume pas chamais, madame," he said; "mais le Cheneral, il foume touchours, et Von Heiser le meme," which was true. The count knew her London friends, and grieved that he was sent on a service he did not relish, and in which later he was to lose his life. My aunt fed them well, and won at piquet, and declared they were much to be pitied, although Von Heiser was a horror.
However, the conditions for combating cholera were now far more favourable than in 1902. Major E. C. Carter had at his own request been relieved from duty as commissioner of public health, and Dr. Victor G. Heiser, passed assistant surgeon of the United States public health and marine hospital service, had been appointed to succeed him on April 5, 1905. Dr.
We saw much dancing later on in our trip, but none that equalled this in intensity and character, apart from its being of a totally different kind, Heiser managed, with some difficulty, to take a photograph of the tense phase of one of the dances; it gives a better idea of the phase than my imperfect description.
His tenure of office has been long enough to enable him to inaugurate and carry out policies, and thus get results. Seldom, if ever, have health officials been more viciously and persistently attacked than have Dr. Heiser and myself.
There, not at all to my satisfaction, I saw the small Hessian, Captain von Heiser, our third and least pleasant boarder, the aide of General Knyphausen. Worse still, he was on Lucy. It was long before I knew how this came to pass.
She had been seized by the Hessian, Von Heiser, and was in my aunt's stable. I had not asked about the mare without a purpose; I was in a state of intense mental clearness, with all my wits in order. In the few minutes that followed I told Tom not to let any one know of my coming, and then, pushing off, I dropped quietly down the creek.
This year the party was made up of Mr. Cameron Forbes, the Governor-General of the Philippine Islands; Mr. Worcester, Secretary of the Interior; Dr. Heiser, Director of Health; Dr. Strong, Chief of the Biological Laboratory; Mr.
"You'd be steppin' square on Bud's soul if you was to josh him about that piano," said Lorry. "I wouldn't. But thank you just the same. You have a neat place here, Adams." "When you say 'neat' you say it all." "I detest a fussy camp. One gets enough of that sort of thing in town. Is that a Gallup saddle or a Frazier?" "Frazier." "I used a Heiser when I was in Mexico. They're all good."
