There were many others to relieve him, but he declined them and kept his vigil alone. What memories were with him; what thoughts attended him through those lonely hours, who can tell! General Keith went immediately to Ridgely on hearing of General Huntington's death. He took Gordon with him, thinking that he would help to comfort the little orphaned girl.
Huntington's instructions four years when the country began to be convulsed with the whispers of secession one State after another passing that miserable ordinance my grandfather said: "'Paul, my boy, if Mississippi goes out, I shall go, too not only out of the Union, but out of this world of sorrow and trouble. I cannot live.
Huntington's assistant not only rejected my bribe, but flew into a passion to boot, and it was all my powers of pleading could do to have her promise me not to report the matter to her principal I learned that Huntington was a member of the Elks and a frequenter of their local club-house, but, unfortunately, I was not a member of that order I went to the Yiddish-speaking quarter of St.
Presently, lo and behold! Loeb entered the restaurant and walked straight up to Huntington's table, evidently by appointment. I nearly groaned. I knew that Loeb had a spacious sample-room at his hotel, with scores of garments hung out, and even with wire figures. It was clear that Huntington had visited it or was going to, while I could not even get him to hear my prices. Was that fair?
Keith's eyes fell on Dave Dennison, where he stood on the outer edge of the crowd. His face was sphinx-like; but his bosom heaved twice, and Keith knew that two men waited to meet Wickersham. As the crowd melted away, whispering among themselves, Keith crossed over and laid a rose on General Huntington's grave. Keith had been making up his mind for some time to go to Brookford.
"Well, I'm damned if you haven't got some sporting blood in you!" he said, smiling at Huntington. "How much was in your roll?" Huntington's first impulse was to tell Haig that it was none of his business. But he was deceived by Haig's manner, having expected his enemy to fall upon him like a thunderbolt. His surprise was shared, indeed, by most of the men, who had expected gun-play on the jump.
"Yes," she answered, in a voice that echoed a tragic calm. "But it was due." "Seth kept saying we'd have a hard and early winter." "Huntington's not such a fool as he looks," retorted Haig drily, as he lay back to look up resignedly into the foliage, where white now mingled with the green. For some time there was no more speech. Marion arose, and went silently about her work.
Miller, was superintending some men who were laying a plank walk in the rear of his premises. Some half dozen of us were invited to an early tea at good Deacon Huntington's. Immediately after dinner, Miss Fitzhugh and Miss Van Schaack decided to take a nap, that they might appear as brilliant as possible during the evening.
In a few minutes she had emerged again from the woods, descended the hill, and regained the main-traveled road along the Brightwater. Still she rode slowly, forgetting that she had learned at last to ride like a cowboy. She was reluctant to return to Huntington's, reluctant to relate her experiences as she had always related them until to-day. Haig had sent a warning to Huntington.
She had come suddenly upon a team hitched at the side of the road, the sorrels and the trap in which Philip Haig had driven her to Huntington's that terrible evening. For a moment she was bereft of thought and feeling. At that very instant she had been thinking of him; what instant was she not thinking of him?
