This, however, does not prevent him from striving to help his friend. He said to me, 'Batoche, if you must make a prisoner of Joseph Bouchette, go first to Sieur Sarpy and ask him whether he would receive him in his house on parole.
As the morning dawned the whole of the Continental army, with the exception of 160 men who were left at Levis, was safe in the recess of Wolfe's Cove, and Arnold had won another stake in the lottery of war. Very early that same morning, Zulma Sarpy drove into Quebec, accompanied by a single servant.
Hardy, Publicity; Mrs. Edna M. Barkley, Speakers; Mrs. A. H. Dorris, Press. Headquarters were opened Jan. 3, 1913, in the Brandeis Theater Building, Omaha, and maintained through the winter of 1912-13. Mrs. Draper Smith had at once assumed her duties as president and appointed Mrs. W. C. Sunderland chairman for the second congressional district, including Douglas, Sarpy and Washington counties.
It was Easter Monday, a calmer day, but perhaps more enjoyable from the palpable assurance it afforded that the promises of its predecessor were really being fulfilled. The weather was magnificent, and the whole country resounded with the voices of men and women preparing for their work. Zulma Sarpy and Cary Singleton walked alone on the bank of the St. Lawrence, directly in front of the mansion.
"He is not here, my dear, but may return to-night." "I have a letter for him." "A letter for Batoche?" "That is, a letter which I would wish him to carry?" "For whom?" "For Zulma Sarpy." "Oh, that is very well. Write to Zulma. Cultivate her friendship. She is a grand girl."
When she was seated, Batoche immediately resumed: "You are aware that Governor Carleton has arrived in Quebec?" "Yes, we heard the guns of the Citadel proclaiming the event," replied Sieur Sarpy. "That happened just ten days ago. It was the most terrible blow yet struck against our cause." "Your cause, Batoche?" said Sieur Sarpy, looking up. "Aye, my cause, your cause, the cause of us all.
Thus appealed to, Zulma declared promptly that she had no opinion on the advisability of M. Belmont remaining out of the town, but that if he resolved upon doing so, she offered him, in the name of her father and in her own, a welcome home in the Sarpy mansion. In fact, she insisted that she would allow her to live nowhere else. Cary smiled and thanked Zulma with an approving nod.
Who can tell what will happen? War is a whirlwind. It may blow him out of sight and remembrance before we know it." "Never fear," interrupted Zulma with a magnificent wave of her white arm. "I have a presentiment that we shall meet again. I have my eye on him and " "He has his eye on you," added Sieur Sarpy, breaking out into a little merriment which was unusual with him.
Much as she might change, Pauline Belmont could never be Zulma Sarpy, and if the dear child only knew it, it was not desirable that she should be. She had her own claims to admiration and love. Zulma had hers. These were almost radically different, but precisely their contrast enhanced the value of each. "I wonder if Zulma received my letter," added Pauline after finishing her toilet.
Let me say it again, mademoiselle. Not my own mother, not my own sisters, not even Zulma Sarpy herself could do more for me than I receive at your hands, and if I recover, as I now believe I shall, I will always hold that I owe my life to Pauline Belmont." This little speech thrilled the listener.
