So she nodded wisely at the cowboy and winked mischievously, and, taking advantage of Anderson's entering the car, she whispered in Jake's ear: "I'm finding out things. Tell you later." The cowboy looked anything but convinced; and he glanced with narrowed eyes at Nash as that worthy hurried back to the car. With a lurch and a leap the car left Palmer behind in a cloud of dust.
"Gosh! Did you land Mr. Farnsworth?" "It has nothing to do with insurance," hastily explained the agent. "I've heard something of vast importance to you." "You don't mean to say the troupe has busted?" "No no; it is in connection with with " and here Mr. Gregory leaned forward and whispered something in Anderson's ear. Mr. Crow promptly stopped dead still in his tracks, his eyes bulging.
Much of the time of Mary Anderson's European visit was spent in Paris. Through the kindness of General Sherman she obtained introductions to Ristori and other distinguished artists, and, to her delight, secured also the entree behind the scenes of the Theatre Francais.
Three babies were left on the doorstep two in one night their fond mothers confessing fessing by letters that they appreciated Anderson's well-known charitable inclinations and implored him to care for their offspring as if they were his own. The harassed marshal experienced some difficulty in forcing the mothers to take back their children.

"Then you are going to stay here all winter?" he said, in a low voice. "Oh, no, I think not," she replied. "I think we shall go away." Anderson's face fell. She had spoken very eagerly, almost as if she were anxious to go. She made it worse. "I don't think I should have come back if it had not been for that," she said.

Sherman readjusted his line, resting his right on a deep ravine running to Owl Creek, and keeping his left in connection with McClernand. Trabue was reinforced by General A.P.
