But a few minutes of daylight were left and the swarthy Louisianian looked at the great losses in his own ranks. He believed that the army of Buell was so far away that it could not arrive that night and he withheld the charge. The Southern army withdrew a little into the woods, the night rushed down, and Shiloh's terrible first day was over.
Shiloh's color came in the healthful exercise, and even Bull Run began to look out keenly from his dull eyes. After lunch Shiloh went to sleep on a soft carpet of Bermuda grass with the old man's coat for a blanket, while the other children waded in the branch, and gathered nuts till time to go back home. It was nearly sun-down when they reached the gate of the little hut on the mountain.
The old man laughed and took the revolver from him. "It's hard, I know, Jack, to give up old ways. I must have made po' Cap'n Tom's and Shiloh's case out terrible to tempt you like that. But not even for them no no not even for them. Set down." Jack sat down, subdued. Then the Bishop pulled out a paper from his pocket and chuckled.
Seven o'clock eight o'clock Shiloh's head swam her shoulders ached, her ears quivered with sensitiveness, and seemed not to catch sounds any more, but sharp and shooting pains. She was dazed already and weak; but still the Steam Thing cheered its steel legions on.
Armand is too young to bear arms. He can only come home and do a soldier's duty later. By family influence, Maxime Valois finds himself soon a major in a Louisiana regiment. He wears his gray uniform at the head of men already veterans. Shiloh's disputed laurels are theirs. They are tigers who have tasted blood.
Shiloh's narrow escape from death had forever settled the child-labor question with him he would starve, "by the Grace of God," as he expressed it, before one of them should ever go into the mill again. He had a bitter quarrel about it with Mrs.
"Hail the day so long expected, Hail the year of full release; Zion's walls are now erected, And the watchmen publish peace. "Now on Shiloh's wide dominion, Hear the trumpets loudly roar: Babylon's fallen, is fallen, is fallen, Babylon's fallen to rise no more."
Watts; but the good old man's fighting blood was up at last that hatred of child-slavery, which had been so long choked by the smoke of want, now burst into a blaze when the shock of it came in Shiloh's collapse a blaze which was indeed destined "to light the valley with a torch of fire."
That's the cracker-jack trick." Shiloh's eyes opened wide: "Why, do they lay eggs, Archie B.? Real eggs like a hen or a duck?" Archie B. laughed: "Well, I should say so an' away up in a tree, an' in the funniest little baskets you ever saw. An' some of the eggs is white, an' some blue, and some green, an' some speckled an' oh, so many kind.
