The son of Governor Gist, the last Executive of South Carolina just previous to Secession, fell while leading his regiment, the Fifteenth, of our brigade, in the assault at Fort Loudon, at Knoxville. Scarcely was there a member of the convention that passed the Ordinance of Secession who had not a son or near kinsman in the ranks of the army.
"Loudon," said my father, as he met me at the depot, with a smiling countenance, "if you were to go to Paris, how long would it take you to become an experienced sculptor?" "How do you mean, father," I cried "experienced?" "A man that could be entrusted with the highest styles," he answered; "the nude, for instance; and the patriotic and emblematical styles."
They were, it seemed, journeying homeward from the 88 whither they had gone in an endeavour to persuade Lanpher and Tweezy to sell the Dale mortgage. "Tweezy, huh?" said Racey. "He's just left here." "He must 'a' rode like the devil," said Mr. Saltoun. "He was in the office with Lanpher when we left." "I thought I noticed a feller off to the south of us as we come along," observed Loudon.
Powhatan Bloodgood, who lives in Loudon County, and whose husband is as rich as a real lord, begs her to be married in hers; and everybody in Yorkburg I mean the coat-of-arms everybodies has invited her to have the wedding in their home. But she just smiles and says no to them all.
Easy for Soltikof to have seized this key-point, key of the real road to Glogau; easy for Loudon and the new 10,000 to have rendezvoused there: but nobody has thought of doing it. A few Croats were in the place, who could make no debate. From Sagan Friedrich and Henri are at length in free communication; Sagan to the Landskron at Gorlitz is some fifty miles of country, now fallen vacant.
"And perhaps you bought a wreck?" asked another. "Yes, sir," said Loudon. "How did that pan out?" pursued the questioner. "Well, mine was a peculiar kind of wreck," replied Loudon. "I don't know, on the whole, that I can recommend that branch of industry." "Did she break up?" asked some one. "I guess it was rather I that broke down," says Loudon. "Head not big enough."
Loudon also, I presume. If you intercept them, the Russians will be in your rear; if you remain by the Oder, Haddeck will surround you. I nevertheless believe, were Loudon to come to Berlin, you could attack and defeat him. This, were it possible, would give you time to arrange matters, and I can assure you, time is every thing, in such desperate circumstances as ours.
"Then I won't," said Tom Loudon, his tongue in his cheek. "Where you think yo're going?" Mr. Saltoun queried presently. "This ain't the way to the ranch." "I know it ain't. It's the way to Farewell." "Whyfor Farewell?" "It's just possible Racey may need a li'l help before he's through with this job." "You're right," Mr. Saltoun said, contritely.
Here he is; just listen: 'Circuit Court. Judge Day. Hugh Wolfe, operative in Kirby & John's Loudon Mills. Charge, grand larceny. Sentence, nineteen years hard labor in penitentiary. Scoundrel! Serves him right! After all our kindness that night! Picking Mitchell's pocket at the very time!"
The object of the meeting was to agree as to the best means of driving the common enemy out of Loudon and its neighbourhood. Urbain's life was so well ordered that it presented little which his enemies could use as a handle for their purpose.
