So to bed. 8th.
"Hold! on your lives!" exclaimed Lyon Berners, rushing between the opponents, and with swift hands striking up the pistol of Robert Munson, and turning aside the musket of Farmer Nye. "Would you shed each other's blood so recklessly? Here is some mistake. Farmer, whom did you take us for?" "Who did I take you for, is it?
"Nay, it's you old Agamemnons, or old fellows, who gave him that name " "Ye'll please to excuse me, sir," interrupted Lyon, a little dogmatically "ye've never heard me call him anything but my lord, since His Majesty, God bless him! was graciously pleased to elevate him to the peerage nothing but 'my lord, and the 'rear-admiral'; naval rank being entitled to its privileges even on the throne.
Hargrove, there are other reasons why your person must be free from violence where I am." "This is a bad place for you, Lyon," said Mr. Hargrove; "and I've said so to you a good many times."

He could not, however, feel otherwise than pleased at all these eulogies bestowed upon him.
"You know I happen to be connected with a business house on Main Street myself." "Sure, I know it, and there's Marshall Field's on State Street, and Lyon & Healy's on Wabash Avenue, and Hart, Schaffner & Marx over by the Chicago River; just the same as here.

"I did, and the description given, both by the landlord and his clerk, corresponded in a singular manner with the appearance of Mr. Lyon. He arrived by the southern line, and appeared hurried in manner. Almost as soon as his name was registered, he inquired at what hour the cars started on the road. He went out in an hour after his arrival, and did not return until late in the evening.
