As soon as Birney's and Whipple's divisions had come up, forming in columns of brigades behind the guns, Sickles was ordered to assail the enemy's right flank and check his advance. Just before midnight the attack was made, in two lines of battle, supported by strong columns.
He crossed the river, to the attack. Chief Joseph dodged him, crossed the river farther north, and circling southward cut his trail and his communications with Fort Lapwai; fell upon Captain S. G. Whipple's First Cavalry, which was in his path surrounded it, wiped out Lieutenant Sevier Rains and ten cavalrymen, scattered the reinforcements, and passed on, for the Road-to-the-buffalo.
"All right!" called Kenneth, but, to his surprise, his words were only hoarse whispers. Struggling to his knees, he seized Mr. Whipple's arm and strove to go on. But Grafton offered no assistance. He lay motionless where he had thrown himself on the landing. "Come on!" croaked Kenneth impatiently, and tugged at his double burden.
Then his eyes met Grafton's and he read his own horror reflected there. "Jasper's room is next to Mr. Whipple's," said Grafton hoarsely. "He must have seen something! Jasper, is Mr. Whipple up there now?" The lad's head nodded weakly. Then he broke again into great dry sobs that shook him from head to foot. Kenneth seized him beneath the shoulders and dragged him a few yards nearer the door.
I could lose my head when I think of Miss Carvel." "Miss Carvel was here, you say?" Stephen repeated, in a tone of inquiry. "Donner!" said Richter, disgusted, "you don't care." Stephen laughed, in spite of himself. "Why should I?" he answered. And becoming grave again, added: "Except on Judge Whipple's account. Have you heard from him to-day, Carl?"
Parting the bushes after her, Clarence found his cousin confronting a large man, whom he recognized as the carrier who brought messages from the South. "What's the matter, Jinny?" he demanded. "Pa has got through the lines," she said breathlessly. "He he came up to see me. Where is he, Robinson?" "He went to Judge Whipple's rooms, ma'am. They say the Judge is dying.

Instead of regaling Wilbur with this gossip she insinuated his need for flannel trousers, sport shirts with rolling collars, tennis shoes of white. She found him adamant in his resolve to buy no further clothes which could have but a spectacular value. To no one that day, except to Wilbur Cowan himself, had it occurred that Merle Whipple's birthday would also be the birthday of his twin brother.
It was quite possible for a skillful player to hole out on the next stroke from Whipple's lie. West, on the contrary, was too far distant to possess more than one chance in ten of winning the hole in one play. Whether to take that one chance or to use his next play in bettering his lie was the question.
And now, by the car window, looking out over the endless roll of the prairie, the memory of this was bitter within her. Suddenly she turned to her father. "Did you rent our house at Glencoe?" she asked. "No, Jinny." "I suppose Mr. Brice was too proud to accept it at your charitable rent, even to save Mr, Whipple's life." The Colonel turned to his daughter in mild surprise.
