Houston's comment on the affair was, "I was dying out once, and, had they taken me before a justice of the peace and fined me ten dollars for assault and battery, it would have killed me; but they gave me a national tribunal for a theatre and it set me up again." It did "set him up" in earnest.
"And next time, I'd advise you to have a little more bait, or else don't tackle so big a fish." It was Houston's last evening in Silver City, and he sat in the hotel lobby reading letters which had just come from his uncle and Van Dorn, under cover from the Chicago firm, as usual. Mr.
It was a question which haunted him during the days in which he cut into his bank account with the purchase of the bare necessities of a sawmill. It was a question which followed him back to Tabernacle, thence across country to camp. But it was one that was not to be answered. Things had happened again. Ba'tiste was not at the mill, where new foundations had appeared in Houston's absence.

Evidently he liked both, as he smiled and gave each a hearty hand. "And now for your story," he said. Obed nodded toward Ned. "He's the one who saw it all," he said, "and he's the one who brings the warning."
Houston's was the place of all others that she thought might make a favourable impression on her cousin. Her wish that this should prove to be the case was so strong, that, as they drove towards the door, she could not forbear from making an attempt to prepare Eve for what she was to meet.

I picked him up when he arrived and trailed him to young Houston's office. After that I saw them go to a cafe, and from there to a prize fight.
