Van Dorn's raid upon General Grant's lines, previous to Sherman's departure from Memphis, had radically changed the military situation. Grant's advance being stopped, his co-operation by way of Yazoo City could not be given. At the same time, the Rebels were enabled to strengthen their forces at Vicksburg.
They shook hands, while Anderson boomed out: "Hello, son! I sure am glad to welcome you to 'Many Waters." No doubt as to the rancher's warm and hearty greeting! It warmed some of the coldness out of Dorn's face. "Thank you. It's good to come yet it's it's hard." Lenore saw his throat swell. His voice seemed low and full of emotion. "Bad news to tell," said Anderson.
The Calverts and Milburns have married into Mrs. Washington's kin. Does my wife love me?" When Levin Dennis awoke in the bottom of the old wagon it was being rapidly driven, and Van Dorn's voice from the driver's seat was heard to say, without its usual lisp and Spanish interjection: "Whitecar, is your brother at Dover sure of his game?" "Cock sure, Cap'n. Got 'em tree'd!
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.
Van Dorn's eyes sparkled as he saw the shining lumps from the Yankee Boy, and he and Lindlay exchanged quick glances. "Look at that," said the latter, quickly extracting from his pocket a sample of the Sunrise ore and placing it beside a piece taken at random from the dump; "does any one pretend to tell me that those are from the same vein?"
Its campaign fund was the dues paid in by its members and the profits from the New Day. Its financial books were open for free inspection. Not so the others and that in itself was proof enough of sinister intentions. Under Victor Dorn's shrewd direction, the League candidates published, each man in a sworn statement, a complete description of all the property owned by himself and by his wife.
He was the corporal of Dorn's outfit, a sort of foreman, I reckon. Anyway, he saw Dorn every day of the months they were in the service, an' the shell that done Dorn made a cripple of Owens. This fellow Owens said Dorn had not got so close to his bunk-mates until they reached France. Then he begun to have influence over them.
"I just never can get by this place," explained the rancher, as he came and stood so that he could put a hand on Dorn's knee. "Look, son an' Lenore, don't you miss this." "Never fear, dad," replied Lenore, "it was I who first told you to look here." "Terrible big and bare, but grand!" exclaimed Kathleen. Lenore looked first at Dorn's face as he gazed away across the length and breadth of land.
Van Dorn's whip-lash firmly covered a huge fly on the horse's ear, and laid it dead. "When the man departed, the boy raised his foot and uncovered the dollar; his master said, 'Smart boy! They divided the stolen dollar." "Jimmy Phoebus says the fust step is half of a journey," Levin noted. "The blacksmith's boy looked avariciously on travellers ever after, who might possess a dollar.
To Jane Victor Dorn's analysis of his feeling toward her and of the reasons against yielding to it seemed of no importance whatever. Side by side with Selma's "One may not trifle with love" she would have put "In matters of love one does not reason," as equally axiomatic. Victor was simply talking; love would conquer him as it had conquered every man and every woman it had ever entered.
