"We must find father as soon as possible, and rescue him from the hands of the British. I think we can do so, don't you?" "I surely think so, Tom." "Oh, you'll be certain to find out where he is, and before very long, then you can rescue him," proposed Ben, confidently. "And after that we can thrash Zeke and Lem with a good heart," suggested Tom.
"I'll rouse th' world ag'in ye!" she exclaimed, so tensely that even Lorey looked at her with alarmed amazement. "I'll rouse th' world ag'in ye, for I'm standin' face to face with my own father's murderer Lem Lindsay!"

I am going back to Lem and Pappy Lon to Ithaca because you and Pappy Lon said as how I must or they would kill Brother Horace. But I hate you, I hate you and I will always hate you. Like a brand of fire, every word seared the reader's brain. As his hand crushed the letter, Horace's head dropped down on his arm, and deep sobs shook him.
"An' it's about Beasley." Auchincloss started violently, and a flame of red shot into his face. Then he raised a big hand that shook. Dale saw in a flash how the old man's nerves had gone. "Don't mention thet thet greaser to me!" burst out the rancher. "It makes me see red.... Dale, I ain't overlookin' that you spoke up fer me to-day stood fer my side. Lem Harden told me. I was glad.

He warn't hearing a word Lem Beebe was saying; and when he got through he was still in that brown-study, just the same. Our lawyer joggled him, and then he looked up startled, and says, "Take the witness if you want him. Lemme alone I want to think." Well, that beat me.
After loading up at the store, Lem Hallowell, instead of heading for Brampton, drove to the tannery house, left his horses standing as he ran in, and presently emerged with a little cowhide trunk that bore the letter W. Following the trunk came a radiant Cynthia, following Cynthia, Jethro Bass in a stove-pipe hat, with a carpetbag, and hobbling after Jethro, Ephraim Prescott, with another carpet-bag.

"Give me that package!" cried the colonel. "Stop! where are you going?" Lem Wacker had bolted. The colonel stared in marveling astonishment as his cohort sprang through the open doorway.
