Upon Dick as upon Harry, Shepard made the impression of power, not only of strength but of subtlety and courage. "I'm glad that man's on our side," said Dick to himself, as Shepard's figure disappeared among the trees.
Listen, they are buying and selling, making reports and laying out their work for the night." "Sssh!" cautioned Bob. "There's something important we want to get." Suddenly Mary gripped his hand. "That's Shepard's voice. I'd never forget it." They listened. The man told of the condition of Lorna, mentioning her by name now.
When the farmhand came to the station and demanded the money he had earned by carrying trunks, he turned away and went across a dusty road to the Shepard's house. After a year or two he paid no more attention to the dissolute farmhand who came occasionally to the station to mutter and swear at him; and, when he had earned a little money, gave it to the woman to keep for him.
Shepard's success, and the latent possibilities of this new field of American enterprise, Messrs. Francis H. Leggett & Co., of New York, have purchased from Dr. Shepard the entire crop of American Pinehurst teas for 1900, amounting in quantity to several thousand pounds. How Shall We Make Tea? How shall tea be drawn or infused? Is there but one standard method for all teas, or all persons?
Shepard's tea gardens the deficiency in rain fall is made good by deep pulverization of the soil and artificial irrigation; the natural shade of jungle or forest under which the seed germinates and grows where the plant is indigenous, is supplied by artificial shade; and the expensive process of picking the leaves is cheapened by employing children, who are paid in money, and also by being taught to read and write in a school maintained on the premises by Dr.
Baxter, Craig and Jimmie the Monk had followed the artful Shepard to the street by the side door. They assisted the chauffeur in picking up the bepummeled man from the sidewalk. "Say, Jimmie! There's somebody shadowing us. Get into that cab of Mike's and we'll chase him!" cried Baxter. They rushed for the other cab, leaving Craig to mop Shepard's wan face with a perfumed handkerchief.
With his work at the station, and in the garden back of Sarah Shepard's house, and the lessons in the afternoons, he had little idle time. On Sundays however things were different. Sarah Shepard did not go to church after she came to Mudcat Landing, but she would have no work done on Sundays.
It was characteristic of Colonel Winchester, a man of the finest feelings, that he should have Shepard instead of himself carry the map to General Sheridan. He wanted the spy to have the full measure of credit, including the outward show, for the triumph he had achieved with the aid of his sister. And Shepard's swift glance of thanks showed that he appreciated it.
Ye kine that were wont to be there were forced to keep holiday in the field." Then follows a minute account of how the fowls persisted in flying in and roosting over the table, scattering feathers and hay on the parsons beneath. "Mr. Shepard's face did turn very red and he catched up an apple and hurled it at ye birds.
Did Shepard really think that he could influence him in such a way, that he could plant in his mind a thought that would spread to others of his age and rank and weaken the cause for which he fought? It was a singular idea, but Shepard was a singular man. But perhaps pride in recalling the prediction that he had made long ago was Shepard's stronger motive, and Harry took fire at that also.
