While here, large reinforcements were received, being an entire brigade, composed of the following regiments, namely: Fourteenth, Seventeenth and Thirty-eighth Ohio; Thirty-third Indiana; First Kentucky; First and Second Tennessee; all Infantry, and a small detachment of Woolford's Cavalry, with our own and Kinney's Batteries, of the First Ohio Artillery.
"That will be difficult," suggested Bartley, with an air of thoughtful impartiality, "for the wife of a newspaper man." "No, no! It needn't be! It mustn't be! If you will only tell me " She stopped, as if she feared to repeat her offence. Bartley leaned back in his chair and looked at her intense face with a smile. "Tell you that in some way I had Kinney's authority to use his facts?
Her sense of honesty would not let her do otherwise. It was long before anybody but Angy Plummer understood the meaning of these intervals. The rest supposed she knew parts of the sermon by heart. But at last came a day when her soul was so stirred within her, that she rose up boldly before her people and said, "I have not brought any sermon of Mr. Kinney's to read to you to-day.
"But you don't get the point," said Senator Mullens, in his deliberate tones, tapping Kinney's glass with his long forefinger. "I have my own doubts as to what the picture is intended to represent, a bullfight or a Japanese allegory, but I want this legislature to make an appropriation to purchase.
Tell Elizabeth I will be very careful of them." "Shall I tell her you'll take Miss Kinney's part?" "No, indeed," was the hasty answer.

They'll come a-rushin', for they like the boss. "There's forty men in that gang that's hidin' ahead of us, tryin' to wipe us out. But if they was a hundred we could keep 'em from makin' any time, an' if you'll burn the breeze some, you can have Barthman an' the others at the trail near Kinney's cañon before these guys get there!"

Having first known him as "Joe," I occasionally forget. "My name is NOT Joe," he said sternly, "and I have as much right to carry a second-hand bag as a new one.
