In less than a week we of Captain Harrod's little company stood on a forest-clad bank, gazing spellbound at the troubled waters of a mighty river. That river was the Ohio, and it divided us from the strange north country whence the savages came. From below, the angry voice of the Great Falls cried out to us unceasingly.
But they have been wonderful this time wonderful. I love them all the bus-conductors, the ticket-punchers, the lift-girls one of them nearly shot me right through the roof of Harrod's the other day and the window-cleaners and the page-girls and the railway-portresses! I divide my elderly heart among them. And I met a bunch of munition girls the other day, Bobby, coming home from work.
My thoughts were chiefly on Polly Ann and the child we had left in the fort now so far to the south of us, and in my fancy I saw her cheerful, ever helpful to those around her, despite the load that must rest on her heart. I saw her simple joy at our return. But should we return? My chest tightened, and I sped along the ranks to Harrod's company and caught Tom by the wrist.
Between us we developed this incontrovertible proposition. "Then why," said Barbara, "don't you go at once to Harrod's Stores and purchase a comfortable home?" "Because, my dear Barbara," said Jaffery, "I'm starting off for the interior of China the day after to-morrow." "China?" echoed Barbara vaguely. "The interior of China?" I reëchoed, with masculine definiteness. "Why not?
After that February day he never appeared again, nor did word of him come back. But in 1774 he had founded Harrodsburg or Harrod's Fort, as it was known. Daniel Boone visited with him and his thirty. A company was formed of North Carolina and Virginia settlers, who by treaty with the Cherokees purchased all southern Kentucky.
But if it is true, it is true because the tribe or the city can really declare all land to be common land, not because Harrod's Stores exist and the commonwealth must copy them. Female suffrage may be just. But if it is just, it is just because women are women, not because women are sweated workers and white slaves and all sorts of things that they ought never to have been.
Here he died, aged about forty-four, or in 1800, an old man before his time, but with his years crammed to over-flowing with brave memories. Following the last attack, in 1778, upon Boonesborough, Colonel John Bowman of Harrod's Station had led a revenge expedition into the Ohio country.
Harrod's fort was then defended by only sixty-five men, and Boonsborough by twenty-two, there being no more forts or white men in the country, except at the Falls, a considerable distance from these, and all taken collectively, were but a handful to the numerous warriors that were every where dispersed through the country, intent upon doing all the mischief that savage barbarity could invent.
"What shall I draw, ma'am?" she said, taking the pencil and feeling nervous again. "Oh, anything you like." Now it happened that her drawing lessons had always given her more pleasure than anything else at school, but owing to Joe Harrod's having taken her away as soon as he was allowed to do so, they had not continued long.
If I were you, Edith, I think I should get ill too; it will be the only way to get him out. What a perfect wife you are! 'I should like to go back with you a little, said Edith. 'Well, can't you? I'm going to Harrod's, of course. I'm always going to Harrod's; it's the only place I ever do go. As Bruce has a friend he'll let you go. Bruce made no objection.
