The contagion of warlike patriotism reached the most peacefully inclined young persons. "My country calls me," Gifted Hopkins said to Susan Posey, "and I am preparing to obey her summons. If I can pass the medical examination, which it is possible I may, though I fear my constitution may be thought too weak, and if no obstacle impedes me, I think of marching in the ranks of the Oxbow Invincibles.
Master Gridley guessed sagaciously what would be the effect of his revelation, when he told her of the particular attentions the minister had paid to pretty Susan Posey and various other young women. The Rev. Mr. Stoker had parted his hair wonderfully that morning, and made himself as captivating as his professional costume allowed.
He took down "Thoughts on the Universe," and got so much interested, reading on page after page, that he did not hear the little tea-bell, and Susan Posey volunteered to run up to his study and call him down to tea. Miss Suzan Posey knocked timidly at his door and informed him that tea was waiting. He rather liked Susan Posey.
Wants you to introduce him, Mr. Bradshaw." The bell rang presently, and Murray Bradshaw slipped out into the entry to meet the two lovers. "How are you, my fortunate friend?" he said, as he met them at the door. "Of course you're well and happy as mortal man can be in this vale of tears. Charming, ravishing, quite delicious, that way of dressing your hair, Miss Posey!
Let me take the letter again a moment, Susan Posey. What is the date of it? June 16th. Yes, yes, yes!"

Shorty appreciated very properly the dignity and responsibilities of his two stripes.

He hasn't written to me for I don't know but it's a month. And O Mr. Gridley! he's such a great man, and I am such a simple person, I can't help thinking he would be happier with somebody else than poor little Susan Posey!"

"Oh, dear, I wish I would meet with a fairy, as Uncle Wiggily did! But I don't s'pose I ever will. I never have any good luck! Only last week I lost my ring with the blue stone in it."
He was certainly longer in the back than we care for nowadays, and his head also was shorter, and his jaw more snipy than is now seen, but his portrait clearly shows he was a genuine Scottish Terrier, and there is no doubt that he, with his kennel mates, Tartan, Crofter, Syringa, Cavack, and Posey, conferred benefit upon the breed.
