Rives may have thought it not in accordance with ancestral dignity that the mother of so distinguished a son should have been burdened with so commonplace and homely a name as Nelly. But we are afraid it is true that Nelly was her name. No other biographer than Mr. Rives, that we know of, calls her Eleanor.
He opened the door, motioned to the Indian woman, and, in a few moments, the broken-hearted Lucy Rives and her companion were hidden in the pines; and Pretty Pierre also disappeared into the shadow of the woods as Shon McGann appeared on the crest of the hill.
His reputation finally had ostracised him into other fields of endeavor. Those had been the days! If only he and Rives had been working together! If he had been managing Rives' campaigns there would have been no crude mistakes to land the "people's idol" behind the bars, Waring or no Waring.
The office door opened and a bulky man with a black mustache entered, beating the snow from his overcoat with a battered porkpie hat and commenting blasphemously on the weather. He advanced into the room until he saw the woman in the chair beside the desk, and then started to back out. "Come on in, Sid," Melroy told him. "Dr. Rives, this is our general foreman, Sid Keating.

"I am going to ask you to help me to-night in paying the highest tribute to General Lee in our power." Gordon responded promptly. "We shall honor ourselves in honoring him, sir." "Always," Alexander agreed. Rives plunged into the heart of his mission. "Gentlemen, so desperate is the situation of the South that our only hope lies in our great Commander.
Spirit is what counts, and the Yankees haven't got it, I was made to-day a Captain of Cavalry under Colonel Rives. I ride a great, raw-boned horse like an elephant. He jolts me until I am sore, not quite as easy as my thoroughbred, Jefferson. Tell Jinny to care for him, and have him ready when we march into St. Louis." "COWSKIN PRAIRIE, 9th July.
"He was to have told it to-night," she said. There was silence for a moment, then a thought flashed into his eyes, and he rejoined with a jarring laugh, "Well, I will play a game to-night, Lucy Rives; such a game that Pretty Pierre will never be forgotten in the Pipi Valley a beautiful game, just for two.
Melroy suggest to you that any specific employee or employees of his were undesirable and ought to be eliminated?" Fields asked. "Certainly not!" Doris Rives became angry.
