Pender well I knew her before she married him " "And is she a cause, perhaps?" "Not in the least. She is devoted; a woman very well educated, though without being really intelligent, and with so little sense of humour herself that she always laughs at the wrong places.
For the moment Ben Hurdy, who had remained silent during the most of the talk, did nothing, but then he ran forward, and watching his chance, kicked Dick in the side of the head with his foot. The quarrel was now on in earnest, and in the midst of the melee a burly waiter came rushing from below, demanding to know what was the matter. "A pair of spies!" shouted Pender.
It was after ten o'clock when he dismissed the motor and entered the dingy little house with the latchkey provided by Pender. He found the hall gas turned low, and a fire in the study. Coils of fog rushed in after him through the open door and filled the hall and passage with its cold discomfort. The first thing Dr.
There was no visual hallucination. But in my mind there began to grow the vivid picture of a woman large, dark-skinned, with white teeth and masculine features, and one eye the left so drooping as to appear almost closed. Oh, such a face !" "A face you would recognise again?" Pender laughed dreadfully. "I wish I could forget it," he whispered, "I only wish I could forget it!"
Pender walked up to the stout wooden door, unfastened the iron chain, and threw the barrier back. One after the other the boys entered the opening beyond. At first they could see but little, but gradually their eyes became accustomed to the gloom and they made out a rocky chamber about twelve feet wide and running back in irregular shape for a hundred feet or more.

In the meantime Dick went to camp, to attend to his hurts, and a cadet was sent to Oakville for a doctor. "Hullo, here comes Rover!" whispered Lew Flapp to Pender, as Dick appeared. "Wonder what sort of a story he will have to tell?"

Pender stared as if his eyes would drop out upon the floor, and then led the way without another word into the adjoining room where his wife was awaiting them for tea.
"He's very tall, stoops quite a lot, uses snuff like they do down in North Carolina, and has small blue eyes and a queer nose. Some of the boys say it looks as if it had been broken. That man in the red car knew it when Jack called it a hooked nose, sir." Mr. Pender slapped his thigh as though in great glee. "Well, this is great luck, sure enough.
"That's the style, Jackson!" cried Lew Flapp. "Show 'em what you can do." "This is the day our crowd comes out on top," put in Pender. "Crowing rather early, seems to me," came from Fred Garrison dryly. It was now Tom's turn and he threw the hammer with all the force at his command. It fell just beyond the point reached by Jackson. "Good for you, Tom!" cried Sam. "That's the way to do it."
They advanced in three lines, each over a mile long, and in perfect order. Pickett's Virginians held the center, with on their left the North Carolinians of Pender and Pettigrew, and on their right the Alabama regiments of Wilcox; and there were also Georgian and Tennessee regiments in the attacking force. Pickett's division, however, was the only one able to press its charge home.
