He was tried before the United States Circuit Court, Judge McAlister presiding, for a violation of the sub-Treasury Act, but was acquitted.
At eleven o'clock, General McClernand moved out with his division, followed by the third brigade of General C.F. Smith's division. McClernand had two brigades, the first commanded by Colonel R.J. Oglesby, the second by Colonel W.H.L. Wallace. With each brigade were two batteries Schwartz and Dresser with the first brigade, Taylor and McAlister with the second.
When the town awakened next morning there were loud clamorings for the arrest of the showman who had dared to unfurl a circus advertisement from the top of the city's flag pole. The showmen guilty of the deed were many, many miles away by that time, engaged in other similar occupations. At McAlister, a booming western town, the opposition were still hard on the heels of Car Three.
McAlister could not swim a stroke, Phebe was powerless to do anything in such clothing as she wore, and Billy was not an expert swimmer. Hope's anguish was almost unbearable; yet, for the moment, Theodora's suffering was greater than that of her sister.
I only sneezed a great deal, and papa said somefing about rooty ceilings." In vain the stranger pondered over the last remark. He was unable to discover its application, and accordingly he passed to a more obvious question. "What is your name?" he asked. "What's yours?" "Gifford Barrett." "Mine is McAlister Holden." "Um-m. I think I haven't met you before."
Farrington, that tall woman with the handsome husband." "Sister to Mrs. Theodora McAlister Farrington, the novelist. Isn't she superb? But I hear she doesn't care a fig for society." So the buzz ran on, and Phebe passed by, heedless of it, heedless, too, of the gaze of a young man who stood alone, a little back of the line of awnings.
Then there was a thud and a bump, and Theodora was gripped tight in two strong boyish arms and felt a clumsy boyish kiss on her cheek, while she heard, not noisily, but quite low, "Oh, Teddy, you've come at last!" Phebe McAlister sat on the floor beside an open trunk.
Directly after their return to The Savins, the doctor had sent a package of Allyn's drawings to one of his old-time classmates, now the head of a famous school of technology. The answer which came back to him was prompt and full of enthusiasm, and Dr. McAlister, as he read it, felt his last regret leaving him that his son was to abandon his own profession.
I did what I could, and then went for help. When I came back, you were gone." "How came you there, anyway?" "I live there." "Oh! And the skull?" "I don't want it." "No; but where did you get it?" "I bought it." "Miss McAlister! Might I ask what for?" "To study. I'm going to be a doctor." "Oh, I wouldn't," he urged dispassionately. "You'll find it very messy." "But I like it.
The day will come that you will give up medicine and take a course in plain cooking, now mark my words." "Thanks; but I prefer tibias to tomatoes," Phebe responded. "When I am the great Dr. McAlister, you will change your tune." "There will never be but one great Dr. McAlister," Theodora answered loyally. "No, mother, I must not stay to lunch, not even if Babe would grill her tibia for me.
