"Beat 'em!" she ordered truculently. He stuck blindly to his point: "Lucy?" "Beat 'em! Show me," she declaimed, in trumpet tones, "that the man who wants to marry a Herron has some courage in him. Now!" The road narrowed just ahead, where it led through a cut in the hill and then down to the bridge. On either side the banks rose eight or ten feet, and very steep, and beyond was a sharp curve.
If he lived he would be president only until the next annual meeting less than two months away; and the Herron crowd had won over enough of his board of directors to make him meanwhile powerless where he had been autocrat. Toward noon the next day Dumont emerged from the stupor into which Doctor Sackett's opiate had plunged him.
This division was about 2,500 strong, and Herron, being ill, had just turned over the command to Dana, when on the 29th of September Green swept down with Speight's and Mouton's brigades and the battalions of Waller and Rountree upon the outposts on Bayou Fordoche, at Sterling's plantation, killed 16, wounded 45, and took 454 prisoners, including nearly the full strength of the 19th Iowa and 26th Indiana.
"Splendidly," he replied, "thanks to our worthy chaplain, Herron, who secures us the blessing and protection of the law." "That gives me an appetite!" exclaimed Langdon. "I feared something might miscarry in these last hours of our months of plotting. Heaven be praised, the people won't have so much to waste hereafter.
We have called you because you have the reputation of never having failed. That is not much for you, Herron, because you are young. Still we believe in you. But you, Bolton, are an old hand on the Trail, and it means a good deal." Galen Albret stirred. MacDonald shot a glance in his direction and hastened on. "I am going to tell you what we want.
One by one they are cast out of the Church Father McGlynn, George D. Herron, Alexander Irvine, J. Stitt Wilson, Austin Adams, Algernon Crapsey, Bouck White; but their voices are not silenced they are like the leaven, to which Jesus compared the kingdom of God a woman took it and hid it in three measures of meal till the whole was leavened.
Bolton's eyes were already clouded with the trouble of his speculation. Dick Herron glanced at his comrade quizzically, the strange cast flickering in the wind of his thought. "Oh, Sam!" said he. "What?" asked the older man, rousing. "Strikes me that by the time we get through drawin' that double pay on this job, we'll be rich men and old!" The men stood looking vaguely upward at the stars.
"'Madam Herron," said the Harvester gently, as he set a foot on the step, reached in and bodily picked up a little old lady and started up the walk with her in his arms. "Careful there, sir!" roared a voice after him. The Harvester could feel the quake of the laughing woman and he smiled broadly as he entered the cabin, and placed her in a large chair before the fire.
By the time the two columns were ready to set out for San Antonio and Houston, General Frank Herron, with one division of the Thirteenth Corps, occupied Galveston, and another division under General Fred Steele had gone to Brazos Santiago, to hold Brownsville and the line of the Rio Grande, the object being to prevent, as far as possible, the escaping Confederates from joining Maximilian.
No American Socialist has more ably summarized the dangers opportunism brings to the movement than Professor George D. Herron in his pamphlet, "From Revolution to Revolution," taken from a speech made as early as 1903. Later events, it will be noted, have strikingly verified his predictions as to the growing popularity of the word "Socialism" with nearly all political elements in this country.
