"How d'ye do, Miss Herron?" said Fraser, apparently much embarrassed. "Lucy " "Is that machine really broken?" The joyful hope in Miss Agatha's voice was quite unconcealed. "Smashed?" "There's something wrong, certainly," the boy confessed, ruefully. His regard sought Lucy's. "But just what's amiss I can't see." The old lady shook her head warningly.
The congregation and many other people followed him there, and he later took to the street corners because he found that the shabbiest men liked that best. Professor Herron filled to overflowing a downtown hall every noon with a series of talks entitled "Between Caesar and Jesus" an attempt to apply the teachings of the Gospel to the situations of modern commerce.
My service at Herron was not very profitable, the road being in the hands of receivers, and for four months none of us received a cent of wages. The road was called the "International & Great Northern," but we facetiously dubbed it the "Independent & Got Nothing." Some months after this I was transferred down to the southern division, and made night operator at Mankato.
And he took out a gold cigarette case and lighted a large, expensive-looking cigarette with a match from a gold safe. "Go on, dear lady! Herron should get you to write our prospectus when we're ready to unload on the public. The dear public! How it does yearn for a share in any piratical enterprise that flies the snowy flag of respectability." He rose. "Who'll play English billiards?"
It's not very different after all from your Sunday editor's suggestion except in the spirit of its making." "Still, there is a difference," he assured her. "The footlights are between and they give a sense of separation and protection. Was Herron the Sunday man particularly obnoxious? He's not human, you know he's just an efficient machine."
The machine was to be abandoned, they had arranged in that runaway afternoon when Miss Herron kept her room; the carriage was to overtake him in his distress; he was to drive home with the two ladies, holding Lucy's hand on the back seat, and convincing Miss Herron of his superior qualifications to marry into her family. But all this had in the sequel come to less than nothing.
The Harvester led the guest to the lake room and arranged for the night. Then he went to the telephone and sent a message to an address he had been furnished, asking for an immediate reply. It went to Philadelphia and contained a description of the lawyer, and asked if he had been sent by Mr. Herron to escort his grand-daughter to his home.
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.
Glancing over, Miss Herron perceived that their rival had drawn ahead a yard or more, that the girls were crying taunts at her. Not far away now there showed a gleam of the river. And then Archie encountered the greatest surprise of his life. "Saucy things!" remarked his passenger, and fell silent again. "Come on!" called the prettiest of the three, through her hollowed hands. "Old freight car!"
"GENERAL: On the 27th day of March last I removed from office Judge E. Abell, of the Criminal Court of New Orleans; Andrew S. Herron, Attorney-General of the State of Louisiana; and John T. Monroe, Mayor of the City of New Orleans. These removals were made under the powers granted me in what is usually termed the 'military bill, passed March 2, 1867, by the Congress of the United States.
