All the Young Men in this Reub Town wore Derbies with their Evening Clothes and came to Dances with their White Gloves smelling of Gasoline, in addition to which they lacked Repose. If they had stopped to cultivate Repose, most of them would have landed in the Villa set aside for Paupers.
There's the interest one way, and I'm a gittin thinner the other way," he added with a piteous smile. "Perez," interrupted Fennell, in a feeble, whimpering voice, as he weakly endeavored to raise himself from the floor, "I wish you'd jess give me a boost on your shoulders, so I kin see out the winder. Reub uster to do it, but he ain't stout enough now. It's two months since I've seen out.
"My father and mother will take care of him, and bring him with em to York State, for I'm goin to get them right over there as soon as they're sold out. There's a chance for poor folks west; there's no chance here." "Perez, thar's my fist. By gosh I'm with ye." "Abner, it's a risky business, and you haven't got the call I've got, being as Reub isn't your brother.
Sterling Hopkins, the volunteer hangman of Casey, of the Vigilance police, came up and attempted the arrest of Reub. Maloney, a notorious politician, whose impudence of speech and reckless ways in partisan devices had made him an unenviable reputation. His bravery was in his mouth; his mouth beyond his own control.
We'll never forget what you are doing to-day. Yesterday I came home to find my father and mother waiting to be sold out by the sheriff, and go to the poor house; and Reub, I found my brother Reub, rotting to death in Barrington jail." "By gosh, I forgot baout Reub, I declar I did," exclaimed Meshech, contritely. "Give us yer hand," said Israel, "I forgot same ez Meshech, an I misdoubted ye.
"Where have ye been, Perez, all the time? I callated ye must be in jail, somewheres, like all the rest of the soldiers." "I had no money to get home with. But how came you here, Reub? Who put you here?" "Twas Deacon Nash done it. I tried to start a farm arter the war, and got in debt to Deacon for seed and stock, and there wasn't no crop, and the hard times come.
Man's clothes, you an' me, old women without a man betwixt us, except Moses, an' it bein' kep' secret from him still. If you tell him he'll tell the deacon, an' what the deacon knows belongs to the hull community." "I'll find them, Susanna; I'll send an order for all he needs by the morning stage." "Tell Reub Smith! My suz! Might as well proclaim it from the church steeple!" "No, indeed.
"Gosh!" exclaimed Abner, his rough features softening with a pensive cast, "I rekullec jess zif 'twar yes'dy, that rainy mornin wen we fellers set orf long with Squire Woodbridge fer Bennington. Thar wuz me, 'n Perez, an Reub, an Abe Konkapot, 'n lessee, yew went afore, didn't ye, Peleg?" "Yas, I went with Cap'n Stoddard," replied that individual.
And a faint gleam of hope came into his face. "Reub, Reub, I didn't know you was here," groaned Perez, as he put his arm about his brother, and supported his feeble figure. "How come ye here, then?" asked Reuben. "I was going home. I haven't been home since the war. Didn't you know? I heard o' George's being here, and came in to see him, but I didn't think o' you're being here."
As for the chest come to think, father sent it back to Trethake Water. Reckon it went in the sale." "What sale?" "Why, don't 'ee know? When Reub sold up. That would be about five years after the old folks died. The mill didn' pay after the war, so Reub sold up and emigrated." "Ah! What became of him?" "I did hear he was dead too," said Joshua Martin, "out in Canady somewhere.
