"Only till midnight," said Billie, "when I'll relieve you." "And I'll relieve the señora," said Josie. "Where do I come in?" queried Mr. Black. "You are the general, Dad. You can be everywhere." Sentry duty is always nerve-racking business.

It was late in the afternoon, and he mechanically tramped over the trail to the pipe line, where, when hope ran higher, he had dared to dream. The whole situation had become a nerve-racking tragedy of mind and action.
As we waited feverishly for the first nerve-racking part of the journey to be over, we spoke of the hopes and dangers of the great adventure upon which we were finally embarked.
