When the main street was reached the reckless youth scarcely slowed down at all to take the turn, and the car came near skidding into the gutter. "Isn't he the careless creature!" laughed Snead. "He always drives this way, and he's never had an accident."
The members of the batting team pranced up and down the side lines, giving a splendid imitation of cannibals celebrating the occasion of a feast. Once Snead stooped down to trap the "rabbit," and it slipped through his legs, for which his comrades jeered him unmercifully. Then a brawny batter sent up a tremendously high fly between short and third. "You take it!" yelled Gillinger to Bane.
"We'd like to see," the younger man spoke crisply and consulted a small leather-bound note-book, "Miss Hope Saunders or her sister. Miss Charity. Please take her our cards." He held out the two bits of pasteboard and Betty, looking over Bob's shoulder, was astonished to read, not "Cal Blosser" and "Jack Fluss," but "Irving Snead" and "George Elmer."
Next inning, after old man Hathaway had baffled the Canadians with his wide, tantalizing curves, my predictions began to be verified. Snead rapped one high and far to deep right field. To our infinite surprise, however, the right fielder ran with fleetness that made our own Deerfoot seem slow, and he got under the ball and caught it. Doran sent a sizzling grasscutter down toward left.
Gordon to her sister. "These gentlemen, Mr. Snead and Mr. Elmer," she consulted the cards in her hand "have called to see us about selling our farm." Mr. Gordon nodded curtly to the pair whose faces were as black as a thunder-cloud at the interruption. "I'm sure Mr. Gordon will excuse us if we go on with the business," said Blosser smoothly.
Rackliff tried to jump, but he was on the wrong side, and the tonneau door bothered him; however, as the machine fell, with Snead sitting paralyzed in his place and Foxhall clinging to the wheel, Herbert succeeded in flinging himself out over the side.
Justice had been done us, and we were unutterably happy. Crabe Bane stood on his head; Gillinger began a war dance; old man Hathaway hobbled out to the side lines and whooped like an Indian; Snead rolled over and over in the grass. All of us broke out into typical expressions of baseball frenzy, and individual ones illustrating our particular moods. Merritt got up and made a dive for the ball.
I am, very respectfully, yr. obt. svt. Thomas L. Snead, A.A.G. Commanding Beaureguard Scouts. I would like to know if he tried it and came to grief or abandoned the project. As letters can now get through to New Orleans, I wrote there. July 14th, 1863. Moved yesterday into a house I call "Fair Rosamond's bower" because it would take a clue of thread to go through it without getting lost.
"Don't talk that way," shivered Herbert. "I'm not anxious to shuffle off." He brought his overcoat from the wardrobe, and Newbert helped him into it, after which they descended the stairs together. Herbert was introduced to Foxhall and Snead.
"But some one must be in charge," urged Blosser, or Irving Snead, as he seemed to prefer to be known. "Isn't there some older person about?" "Miss Gordon and I" Betty thought that had a very nice sound as Bob said it "are taking care of them. It is hard to get help of any kind because of the demand for workers at the fields and in Flame City. If we can do anything for you " "You can't!"
