When it was over, John and Helen found themselves in the midst of a densely packed crowd, and separated from Miss Briscoe and Lige. People were pushing and shoving, and he saw her face grow pale. He realized with a pang of sympathy how helpless he would feel if he were as small as she, and at his utmost height could only see big, suffocating backs and huge shoulders pressing down from above.
"I could sell the goods to Texas buyers who are here in the store right now." "Until I get instructions from one of the concern," vowed Captain Lige, "I shall do as I always have done, sir. What is your position here, Mr. Hopper?" "I am manager, I callate." The Captain's fist was heard to come down on the desk. "You don't manage me," he said, "and I reckon you don't manage the Colonel." Mr.
'Lige Curtis, whose lands and property have enriched you! 'Lige Curtis, who would have shared it with you freely at the time, but whom your father juggled and defrauded of it! 'Lige Curtis, branded by him as a drunken outcast and suicide! 'Lige Curtis" "Hush!"
This was filled in by the words, "Five hundred dollars." The handwriting did not seem like his father's, nor yet entirely like 'Lige Curtis's. What it meant he did not know, he would not try to think. He should forget it, as he had tried to forget what had happened before, and he should never tell it to any one!
Lige shortened the hitch about the tree, until the line drew taut. After winding the end tightly about his own arm, he handed a lighted torch to Tad. It was a trying moment for all of them, and naturally more so for the boy who was about to descend into the unknown depths of the mountain canyou. "Right!" announced the guide in a reassuring voice.
Strange that the face which in anger withered cowards and made men look grave, was capable of such infinite tenderness, tenderness and sorrow. The Colonel took Virginia in his arms, and she sobbed against his shoulder, as of old. "Jinny, did he ?" "Yes " "Lige was right, and and you, Jinny I should never have trusted him. The sneak!" Virginia raised her head.
Ward, she that was Miss Lucy Barnes, and there was a reunion of "C" Company that night, and a camp-fire in Culpepper Hall, and the next day Lige Bemis was painting a sign which read "Philemon R. Ward, Attorney-at-Law, Pension Matters Promptly Attended To." And the first little Ward was born at the Thayer House and named Eli Thayer Ward.
"I don't catch your idea, Lige," stammered the Professor. "I understand that you have picked up a stone. What has that to do with Walter?" "Why, don't you see? He must have dislodged it when he fell off the mountain." "No; I do not see why you say that."
You didn't let the Yankees frighten you But where is Jackson?" And so the whole miserable tale has to be told over again, between laughter and tears on Virginia's part, and laughter and strong language on Colonel Carvel's. What blessing that Lige met them, else the Colonel might now be starting for the Cumberland River in search of his daughter.
Mine contented herself with simply turning over, without hurting either myself or fireman much to my satisfaction. 'Lige fared worse. His reverse lever caught in his clothing and before he could get loose, the engine had stopped on her side, with 'Lige's feet and legs under her. He was not badly hurt except for the scalding water that poured upon him.
