At the same time there rang out on the apparatus in Cole's barn, the number of a box located near the Stockton mansion. "There's another fire at the house of mystery," cried Cole, for the boys had given the mansion that designation. "Come on, fellows. Let's see if we can't do better this time than we did with our hand engine."
"May have been dead a couple o' days," he continued. "What was the sense in killin' him? What for? How did he come into it?" Cole's boyish face wrinkled in perplexity. "I don't make head or tail of this thing. Cunningham's enemies couldn't be his enemies, too, do you reckon?" "More likely he knew too much an' had to be got out of the road."
This was done, and Bert's plan, of having a part of the force stay on duty in Cole's barn every night, met with instant approval. In fact they had to draw lots to see which boys would take the first three nights, as every one wanted that honor. It was arranged that those in the barn would rush out with the engine, as soon as they heard the alarm on the church bell.
John Vallance, also born in Scotland, died in Philadelphia in 1823, was one of the founders of the Association of Artists in America, and Treasurer of the Society of Artists in Philadelphia in 1810. Among his best works are Cole's series "The Voyage of Life," and Bierstadt's "Rocky Mountains." Dr. John Geikie Wellstood, born in Edinburgh in 1813, was another eminent engraver.

This position was one of immense strength, being a long ridge, with a very deep valley in front.
He neither cringed nor cowered, but scrutinized Farmer Cole's hired man with an alert gravity, as if demanding that he show his credentials. "Mis' Cole sent you over this here truck," Joe explained, "and she says she'll have Annie bring the bread, after she's through baking. Where d'you want this hen?"
She meant to be very happy, in spite of the scene being laid at Mr. Cole's; and without being able to forget that among the failings of Mr. Elton, even in the days of his favour, none had disturbed her more than his propensity to dine with Mr. Cole. Her father's comfort was amply secured, Mrs. Bates as well as Mrs.
A cold perspiration bedewed his very back, when he recollected that the chief constable would be present at Cole's examination, and supply the link, even if there should be one missing. He had serious thoughts of leaving the country at once. Finding himself unobserved, he walked out of the room, and paced up and down the hall. His thoughts now took a practical form.
I believe Captain Tooke engaged him from having known him when he himself was a young man, and from believing that he could keep him sober. He succeeded pretty well, but not always; and more than once, in consequence of old Cole's neglect of his duty, we very nearly lost our lives, as many lives have been lost before and since.
"Most sincerely yours, R. E. Lee. "Mrs. R. E. Lee." After visiting Cumberland Island and going up to the St. John's River as far as Palatka, and spending the night at Colonel Cole's place near there, they returned to Savannah.
