"It is hard to think how much I have suffered, and how much of woe there may be in the future for me," sobbed Mrs. Redburn. "Don't cry, mother. You know what it says on the watch 'All for the Best. Who knows but that all your sorrows are for the best?" "I hope they are; I will try to think they are. But it is time for you to go.
"You may now give me the particulars of the affair," Redburn said, rising and closing the door, for a chilly breeze was sweeping into the cabin. Alice proceeded to comply with his request by narrating what had occurred and, as nearly as possible, what had been said. When she had concluded, he gazed down for several moments thoughtfully into the face of Anita.
Then there was a long blank pause; not a sound was heard, not a voice spoke, nor a foot moved. This silence was speedily broken, however, by two heavy falls, followed almost immediately by the tramp of feet. Not till all was again quiet did Redburn venture to open the door and look out. All was dark and still. The road-agents had gone, and left no sign of their work behind.
Once he had the resolution to abandon the cup, fully determined to redeem his lost character, and make his family happy again. The better to accomplish this, he removed to Boston, where he obtained a good situation, and for more than a year he adhered to his resolution.

Redburn pondered deeply on this subject, as he left the girls together, and went out to see to his duties in the mines.

Ef the mine proves to be ekal ter the one thet I located on Spring creek, I'll take in a third fer my share uv the divys. Ef 'tain't good's I expect, I'll take a quarter." Redburn turned to Anita.
"I never had a sister, but it must be rather a good thing to live up to." "Yes. And to live with. Especially other fellows' sisters." "Are you ready to part with yours for that purpose?" "No. That's asking too much. By the way, I think we are in the same work. I'm in the office of Jarvis, Redburn and Saltus." "I'm trying it by myself." "You've been very lucky." "Yes.
Catamount Cass was a rough, illiterate "tough" of the mountain species, and possessed more brute courage than the general run of his type of men, and a bull-dog determination that made him all the more dangerous as an enemy. Harry Redburn kept close at Ned Harris' heels, a cocked "six" in either hand ready for any emergency.
The two shook hands: then Redburn turned and strode back to dismiss his forces, while Dick and his men took up their position at the place where the fissure opened into the gulch. Here they made preparations to camp.
Gordon rang the bell, and when Michael answered the summons, she attended him to the street door, where she instructed him to call upon Mrs. Redburn, and also to inquire of the grocer at the corner, and of her neighbors, what sort of a person she was.
