Full of blissful hope that it was Edith he jumped up and hurried out. But his longing eyes sought in vain for Captain Irwin's widow. Instead of her whom he sought he perceived a tall female form in the short jacket and short-cut coloured dress which he had seen on his journeys among the inhabitants of the Georgian mountains.
Thomas Reese, whose ministerial labors were chiefly performed in Pendleton District, S.C., where he ended his days, and is buried in the Stone Church graveyard. He was the Major in Colonel Robert Irwin's regiment at the battle of the Hanging Rock, and elsewhere performed important services during the war.
He had made a guess, but he knew now that he had hit the bull's-eye with his shot in the dark. "Some things don't need telling.

The small brandy cask was also conspicuously present. Jake Irwin's quick eye fell upon it. Said he to Roger: "Before we go, sir, let's have one more drink, `to the Isla de Corsarios'; for I'm sure 't has proved a very good friend to us."
