"RUSSELL, that ain't going to heal without a A scar," Alf Russell consoled himself, as he studied his hurt with a little round pocket looking-glass, a screen of bushes concealing him from his unappreciative comrades. "It's more than Monty Scruggs nor Harry Joslyn nor Sandy Baker'll have to show for the fight. It's even more than Gid Mackall has, even though he is knocked out.
Keep marchin' distance 19 inches from back to breast. Come along, Pete. I ain't a-goin' to lose you, no matter what happens." "Sarjint," gasped flarry Joslyn, after they had gone a couple of miles, "don't you call this purty fast marchin'?" "Naah," said Si contemptuously. "We're just crawlin' along. Wait till we git where it's a little clear, and then we'll go.
The student of history will observe that the ablest constitutional arguments ever made in favor of the practical application of the great underlying principles of our government, were those of Benjamin F. Butler, A.G. Riddle, Henry R. Selden, William Loughridge, Francis Minor, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Matilda Joslyn Gage on the right of women to vote under the Fourteenth Amendment.
Si had kept to the path, firing coolly and with deadly aim as he kept pace with the line, which was fiercely forging through the brush. There had gathered behind him Jim Humphreys, Harry Joslyn, and Gid Mackall.
When they reached the lawn at the back of the house Rob kissed them all good-by, much to his sisters' amusement, and turned the indicator of the little instrument to the word "up." Immediately he began to rise into the air. "Don't worry about me!" he called down to them. "Good-by!" Mrs. Joslyn, with a scream of terror, hid her face in her hands.
Try, if I ain't," and Ben squared off in such scientific style that Joslyn responded with sudden amiability, "All right, let's see you do it." Bab huddled into her new equipage without the least fear, and Ben trundled her off at a good pace, while the boy retired to the shelter of a barn to watch their progress, glad to be rid of an irksome errand.
We're almost through, and then we'll salivate them whelps of damnation." A bullet came so nigh Si's face that it seemed to burn him, and then he heard it strike. Jim Humphreys fell without a groan a bullet through his brain. "Don't mind that. Forward, boys," shouted Si. "Here's the end of the abatis." Gid Mackall fell, and Harry Joslyn turned to help him. "Don't mind him.
'Tain't servin' the Government right for him to be careless about himself. Now here's 27 rations o' bread, meat, coffee, sugar, salt and beans three apiece for each of us. Harry Joslyn, you and Gid Mack divide them up into nine equal piles." Si and Shorty turned to give directions about packing up the shelter-tents and blankets for carrying.
"I guess I'm able to hold my tongue, even if they do say my sex never can. And Carl, you must let me know if anything happens to alter conditions, because I'm dreadfully interested. This is the first time in all my life I've been connected with a secret." "I certainly will let you know, Mrs. Joslyn," Carl promised.
"It makes me ashamed of my whole school to think there is one child in it cruel enough to do this thing;" then, amid the silent consternation of the scholars, Miss Joslyn rose, and leaving the half-emptied box, went home without another word. "What a fuss about nothing," said Ada Singer. "The idea of crying because you get a 'comic! What else could Alma Driscoll expect?"
