Sherwood's story seem probable?" now remarked the judge. "I am convinced that it is true," said the colonel promptly. The judge saw how matters stood and discharged the prisoner. "We're left!" said Crane, in a tragic whisper. "Now, Mr. Sherwood," said the colonel, taking Walter's arm, "you must accompany me to Shelby." At length they reached Shelby.
He would talk to his mother occasionally, to keep her mind away from her horrible dream. "About the 1st of October we learned of the movements of large bodies of the enemy's cavalry in Tennessee, raiding the railroads to the rear of Sherwood's army.
Sherwood's eyes rested on the figure and read the lines beneath, shout after shout of laughter rang through the room, and when Gussie stepped over to see what the paper contained her shrill laughter joined the chorus. "Well, it serves you just right, Mr. Plaisted," said she. "I told you she would make you repent it if you used her name so freely. But I wonder how she found out your name?

Barlow had a mind which functioned with amazing rapidity on matters pertaining to his own interest. He realized on the instant how it might count for him in the future if he were in a position to ask a favor of a person of Miss Sherwood's standing; and he spoke without hesitation: "I don't know anything about this Sherwood matter.

There was that trend to Nan Sherwood's character, however.
"Hilloa," quoth he, "what art thou doing here, thou naughty fellow? Who art thou that comest ranging Sherwood's paths? In very sooth thou hast an evil cast of countenance, and I do think, truly, that thou art no better than a thief, and comest after our good King's deer."

"Well, I want to know how it would strike you. Should you be horrified?" "No; but astonished." "Very well. The fact of the matter is then," said Warburton, with an uneasy smile, "that for a couple of years I have been doing that.
