And we boys of the U. E. Loyalist settlement cheered and cheered, thrilled with an intense vague knowledge that the old army of Wellington kept ghostly step with John, while aerial trumpets and drums pealed and beat with rejoicing at the fresh glory of the race and the union of English-speaking men unconsciously celebrated and symbolized by the little rustic parade.
A startling interest was now created among the Indians; for, as the savage warrior neared the forest, his lips pealed forth that peculiar cry which is meant to announce some intelligence of alarm. Scarcely had its echoes died away in the forest, when the whole of the warriors rushed from the encampment towards the clearing.
It came from in front of the store. It was followed by revolver shots, heavy, booming. Three he counted, and the rest were too close together to enumerate. A single hoarse yell pealed out, somehow trenchant and triumphant. Other yells, not so wild and strange, muffled the first one. Then silence clapped down on the store and the open square.
"Just then at eleven o'clock at night the door bell rang. Such a ring it pealed all over the house above the roar of the storm. Susan couldn't go she dared not lay Jims down so I rushed downstairs. In the hall I paused just a minute I was suddenly overcome by an absurd dread. I thought of a weird story Gertrude had told me once.

Miss Terry was leaning on the mantel-shelf looking into the fire, when the bell pealed furiously. She started and turned pale. "Lord 'a' mercy!" ejaculated Norah, who was still admiring the effect of the window-decoration. "What's that? Who can be calling here to-night, making such a noise?" "Go to the door, Norah," said Miss Terry with a strange note in her voice. "It may be some one to see me.
With violence he strode to the bell and pealed it vigorously. On the instant Nap turned. "So long, Lady Carfax!" She looked up at him. Her lips said nothing, but for that instant her eyes entreated, and his eyes made swift response. He was smiling with baffling good humour as he turned round to Sir Giles. "Good-bye, sir! Delighted to have met you. I'll give your message to my brother.
The organ pealed out in loud flute tones that mounted like a lark, higher, higher, higher, winging its way in the clear morning air. It was the chant of a returning angel scaling heaven. Then came the long sweeps of a more solem harmony. Peace, peace! And rest! And rest!
The yell pealed forth by the Indians, when the second boat came in view, was deafening in the extreme; and every thing became commotion along the bank, while the little fleet of canoes, which still lay resting on the beach, put off one after the other to the scene of action.
