Somebody who offered to take us as boarders. We went back to Mrs. McCay's, to tell her of our determination, and in the morning took leave of her and came back home.

The Virginia news, after being so great and cheering, has suddenly ceased to come.
CLINTON, September 9th, Tuesday. Back again! For how long, I know not. At sunset Saturday, Eliza and Miriam returned to Mrs. McCay's with Nannie Davidson.

"Well, I don't want 'em to. What do yo' intend to do, sah?" The elder McCay's face was very red. His fingers, as he tore the insolent letter to bits, were trembling with anger. "I say let 'em hop to it!" he jerked out. "I ain't givin' in to anybody!" The others cheered. And it was a fighting group of men who gathered for a conference as to the defense of the store.

That's right, isn't it? 'Sure, said Archibald. 'When does it start? 'Next Saturday. 'That's me. 'Good for you. Oh, Archie. 'Hello? 'A man I met today told me you were engaged. Is that a fact? 'Sure, murmured Archibald, blushfully. The wire hummed with McCay's congratulations. 'Thanks, said Archibald. 'Thanks, old man. What? Oh, yes. Milsom's her name.
