A few days after her interview with Monte Pearce, Dan came to her with an offer to do some office work at the bottle factory. The regular stenographer was off on a vacation, and a substitute was wanted for the month of September.
One word more about the race, all but extinct, of the people opprobriously called prize-fighters. Some of them have been as noble, kindly men as the world ever produced. Can the rolls of the English aristocracy exhibit names belonging to more noble, more heroic men than those who were called respectively Pearce, Cribb, and Spring?
"I suppose, colonel, that you can give me a shake down," said Harry; "I have got leave to remain on shore." Her cousin's remaining prevented Alice from speaking to her father that night. Harry showed no intention of going to bed till Pearce had taken his leave, and Alice had retired.
"Howdy boys!" said Kells, wanly. Gulden cursed in amaze while Pearce dropped to his knee with an exclamation of concern. Then both began to talk at once.

I'll be quiet," responded Cleve, cautiously. "Joan, you're to answer a few questions." Then a soft hand touched Joan, and a voice differently keyed from any she had heard on the border addressed her.
Pearce could not benefit him now, how could he later? Still his only alternative seemed to be to surrender, upon the condition that he be given fair treatment at the hands of the government. But notwithstanding this stipulation, no sooner had he signified his intention of yielding without resistance than he was roughly siezed and bound.

"Harry Verner and I are old shipmates I suspect, unless there are two of the name very much like each other," said Pearce, rising and putting out his hand.
Writing from the Capital to Pearce, December, 1795, regarding a young negro, Washington says: "If Cyrus continues to give evidence of such qualities as would fit him for a waiting man, encourage him to persevere in them; and if they should appear to be sincere and permanent, I will receive him in that character when I retire from public life if not sooner.
