This scheme was adopted so that the original companies and platoons would not sink their identities in that of a sister company. This re-organisation was completed, equipment made up, and all necessary stores given out within twenty-four hours, and the Battalion was again ready for action.
And she also knew that both identities were one with another. The beating of her heart and the wild surging of her blood told her all. She was afraid to speak lest her voice should betray her. She could not even think. She would have to be alone for that. Mrs. Stonehouse, with the wisdom and power of age, waited, suspending judgment.
Rather it is their likenesses that precipitate wars, their resemblances and identities in being the same in ambition, and having the same conceptions of national honor and the same motives for war and desiring the same objects. Nations in general do not go to war over principles because they are not motivated by principles in their historical course.
As he was leaving the parlor car he saw a man emerge from its drawing-room, make a hasty descent to the platform, hurriedly engage a station hack and drive away. De Milt had an amazing memory for identities something far rarer than memory merely for faces.
He had believed their identities were unsuspected. If this man could draw so clever a deduction, then their two other prisoners could do likewise. Moreover, if they carried out their original plan and went to rebel headquarters to enlist, would they not there, too, be suspected? "Do the others guess who we are?" he asked. "Don't know," said Stone.
And over it the wind shrieked again, swallowing up the yapping of the foxes and the rumble of the ice. That night, in the yellow sputter of the seal-oil lamp, the fight began. Grim-faced one realizing the nearness of death and struggling to hold it back, the other praying for time two men went through the amazing process of trading their identities. From the beginning it was Conniston's fight.
There were other things which age and long bondage in the pocket had brought to such passes that one could scarcely determine their identities. From all this Jerome selected one undoubted treasure a great jagged cut of sassafras root. It had been nicely scraped, too, and looked white and clean. "Here," said Jerome. "Don't you want it?" asked Lucina, shyly.
Cameron met the gaze unflinchingly, and again began to speak: "You know, of course, how men out here somehow lose old names, old identities. It won't surprise you much to learn my name really isn't Cameron, as I once told you." Warren stiffened upright. It seemed that there might have been a blank, a suspension, between his grave interest and some strange mood to come.
The same great law of duty over-arches every man, and the same heaven of God bends above him. Religion has to do with the deep-seated identities and not with the superficial differences.
After a moment, during which their brains reeled with an amazement so utter that they doubted the evidence of their senses doubted even their own existence and identities, there had simultaneously flashed over the minds of Paul and Miss Ludington the explanation of what they beheld.
