"I'm going to leave you, Pete," he said, as he put on his collar. "Where're you going?" "I've got to get up to the city to make the ten o'clock train. I'm going up to Ledyard to get the cribbing. Be back in a couple of days." He threw his shaving kit into his grip, put on his overcoat, said good-night, and went out.
Between such a man as Hapgood and Priscilla Glynn oh! can you not see my dear, dear girl?" "Yes, I begin to see. And I see I dare not trust even you!" The hard note in Priscilla's voice hurt Travers cruelly. "And you, you and Doctor Ledyard how would you stand?" she asked faintly. Travers held her at arm's length, and his face turned ashen gray.
The telephone rang sharply and Ledyard took up the receiver with trembling hand. "It's your mother," he said; "you had better speak for yourself." "So you are there, Dick?" "Yes, mother." "There was a message just now. Such a peculiar one. I thought you had better have it at once. It was only this: 'She knows' and a 'good-bye." "Thanks, mother. I understand."
Charlik is the proper king, but ever since a white man named Ledyard went to live with the Leassé people, they've refused to pay tribute. This Ledyard is the cause of all the trouble, and he has taught his natives how to fight European fashion. There's only about six hundred of 'em altogether men, women, and children eh, Charlik?"

They had written to me before I came and I had answered their letters, and on my arrival they gave me the warmest welcome. One was Catherine Ledyard Cogswell, daughter of the leading and best-beloved of Hartford physicians. The other was Georgiana May, daughter of a most lovely Christian woman who was a widow.
In the account given of this affair by Governor Trumbull to General Washington, he says, "The sword presented by Colonel Ledyard was immediately plunged into his bosom, and the carnage was kept up until the greater part of the garrison was killed or wounded." In this fierce assault, Colonel Eyre was killed, and Major Montgomery, the second in command, also fell, as he entered the American works.
He visited Cadiz, from thence took a passage to Brest, and from Brest to L'Orient, where he was successful in prevailing on some merchants to fit out a ship for his north-west adventure; but this project also failed, and Ledyard became once more the sport of accident. He now proceeded to Paris, where he was received with great kindness by Mr.

It was to seek the light, or And then Travers got up and left the room with bowed head, like one turning his back upon the dead. He went to Ledyard at once, and found that cheerful gentleman awaiting him. "At last!" he cried.
"If you feel like that," said Bannon, "we can fix things all comfortable in three minutes. All I want is cars." The superintendent shook his head. "There's where you stump me," he said. "I haven't got 'em." "Mr. Superintendent, that's what they told me in Chicago, and that's what they told me at Ledyard. I didn't come up here to Blake City to be told the same thing and then go back home."
Some one had told him, a time back, of Boswell's leaving the city, and he had been glad of the suspicion that arose in him when he heard it. Later in the day the forces Priscilla had set in motion touched and drew him into the maelstrom.
