Timmins got telling us about the big sale he was going to make at Kewaukee," continued Hiram, "and how the Star Aero people were bidders for the same contract, you warned him against the Dawsons, and the people they are working for!" "I know I did. That was because the Dawsons are stunting for the Star people." "Exactly.
There was Drummond's, of course, but to deal with him was out of the question. "Hello, Hiram boy!" Lucy called sweetly as he walked past the shooting gallery. "You look worried. Whassa malla? Jo fired you?" "Not yet," said Hiram briefly. "I was looking for a machine so that I could catch up with the outfit, but can't seem to locate one." "Not many about town this time of year," she commented.
"Dost Thou desire to dispute?" interrupted Hiram, irritated. "How dispute? Rabsun, say if I am disputing." "Better talk of business, your worthinesses," replied the host.

Between Hiram and Frank there was a very cordial adieu. "I likes yer, young fellow," the boatman said; "you will make your way, never fear, some day, if you get a chance.
"That pitiful creature has refused gold and a precious goblet, which I carried to her." "She did, for she thought that Thou hadst the wish to deceive her," remarked Rabsun. Hiram nodded. "There is no cause for trouble," said he. "Where gold has not power, then the father, the mother, or the mistress may have it. And if the mistress is powerless, there is still."

Hiram had a considerable quantity of wheat which he had bought upon speculation and which was then lying idle in a Philadelphia storehouse. This he had sold at public sale and at a very great sacrifice; he realized barely one hundred pounds upon it.
In his regiment he had a number of his own Hiram boys, over whom he watched as an elder brother. The affection of the young men for their friend and teacher was unbounded, and with him to lead them there were few perils from which they shrank.
