I'm sad. Oh, God, what a mess!" They walked into the park. A sudden matter-of-factness came into Dorn's mind. He had sung something from his heart. Yet he remembered with astonishment it had been a wary song. He had not asked her to stay. Had he asked her she would have remained. Curious, how he acquiesced in her going. A sense of drama seemed to demand it.
This faith in a great purpose of the ages!" Lenore trembled in the exquisite pain of the faith which she prayed was beginning to illumine Dorn's dark and tragic soul.
The farmer said they had had a big funeral out of Memphis, but when it reached his house, the coffin was found to contain a fine assortment of medicines for the use of Van Dorn's army. Thus under the pretense of a first-class funeral, they had carried through our guards the very things we had tried to prevent. It was a good trick, but diminished our respect for such pageants afterward.
"I'm not so sure of that," replied Kelly, who was wise enough to realize the value of a bogey like Dorn its usefulness for purposes of "throwing a scare into the silk-stocking crowd." "Dorn's getting mighty strong with the people." "Stuff and nonsense!" retorted Hastings. "They'll listen to any slick tongued rascal that roasts those that are more prosperous than they are.
"Do you suspect," he presently asked, "that she's in love with Victor Dorn?" "Perhaps," said Jane reflectively. "Probably. But I'd not feel discouraged by that if I were you." "Dorn's a rather attractive chap in some ways." Davy's manner was so superior that Jane almost laughed in his face. What fools men were.
Van Dorn's northward movement was checked, and our stores at Grand Junction and Lagrange were saved, by the gallantry of this little force. General Grant subsequently gave special compliment to the bravery of these soldiers and their officers, in an order which was read to every regiment in the Army of the Tennessee. Our plans were completely deranged by this movement of the enemy.
Lenore was permitted to see him a few minutes every day, for which fleeting interval she must endure the endless hours. But she discovered that only when he was rational and free from pain would they let her go in. What Dorn's condition was all the rest of the time she could not guess. But she began to get inklings that it was very bad.
His eyes swept piercingly over, and apparently through, the men nearest at hand. At this juncture Jake and Bill, with two other cowboys, strode up to Anderson. "Another accident, boss," said Jake, sarcastically. "Ain't it about time we corralled some of this outfit?" Anderson did not reply. He had suddenly imitated Lenore, who had become solely bent upon Dorn's look.
"Fetch on your young wheat-sowers, dad, and I'll pick out a husband." "An' you, son?" finished Anderson, as if wistfully, yet heartily playing his last card. He was remembering Jim the wild but beloved son the dead soldier. He was fearful for the crowning hope of his years. "As ye sow so shall ye reap!" was Dorn's reply, strong and thrilling.
"I was a LEETLE afraid he was going to be scared by that document of Dorn's and was going to do something crazy." Again Kelly emitted his queer grunting laugh. "I guess he was a LEETLE afraid he would, too, and ran away and hid to get back his nerve." "Oh, he's all right. He's a pushing, level-headed fellow, and won't make no trouble. Don't you think so?" "Trouble? I should say not.
