"Of course you can do it, Dick," continued his loyal friend, "but I never thought that anyone as young as you ever got the chance." "It came my way," Dick went on, "and I'm mighty glad it did. So " "Wow!" muttered Dave, suddenly, then started off at a sprint, as he muttered: "Here's Tip Scammon now!" Both boys moved along on a hot run.
But he's like most pups that hire other folks to do their tough work -they hain't 't got no nerve o' their own." Fred came stealthily out of the yard, after looking back at the house. He went straight up to young Scammon. "So here ye are, pal," laughed Tip. "Glad ye didn't keep me waitin'. Ye brought the wherewithal?"
"Is Tip Scammon back from the penitentiary?" "Got back this afternoon, and has been showing himself around town this evening," nodded Dave. "Say, I wonder if he could have been the one who ambushed you?" "I don't like to throw suspicion on anyone," Dick replied. "Still, I can't imagine anyone else who would have as much temptation to try to lay me up.
"You worked hard enough, and I spent money enough on the effort to prepare you." "You can't beat some people's luck -unless you do it with a club," grumbled Fred, absently. "Eh?" asked his father, looking up sharply from his plate. But the boy did not explain. Late that night, however, breaking training rules for the tenth time, Fred was out on the sly to meet Tip Scammon.
"No," he decided. "Cantwell may be erratic, and he certainly has a treacherous temper, and some mean ways. But this was hardly the sort of trick he'd go in for."

On the approach of the enemy Siber was withdrawn from Raleigh C. H. to Fayette, and Gilbert to Tompkins farm, three miles from Gauley Bridge, but the brigades were not united. On the 10th of September Loring attacked Siber at Fayette, in the intrenchments made by Scammon in the winter. Siber repulsed the efforts of Loring to drive him out of his position, and held it during the day.
"You've scored a point there, Prescott. Well, then, since I am the boy's father, and since I want to do him full justice on the side of mercy, if he'll have it -will you tell all of the truth that you know to that boy's father?" Dick glanced around at his chums. One after another they nodded. Then the High School pitcher unburdened himself. Tip Scammon sat up and took keen notice.
The organization therefore was as follows; namely, First Brigade, Colonel Scammon commanding, consisted of the Twelfth, Twenty-third, and Thirtieth Ohio and McMullin's Ohio Battery; Second Brigade, Colonel Moor commanding, consisted of the Eleventh, Twenty-eighth, and Thirty-sixth Ohio and Simmonds's Kentucky Battery.
This also was granted, and immediate promotion was given to Colonel Crook so that he might command the division, and a promise was made to do the like for Colonel Scammon, who would then be available for the command of the division still under Lightburn, whose retreat was strongly condemned as precipitate.
