Nor had the brilliancy of his sister's exploits eclipsed those of the King, for the son of Ælfred was a vigorous and active ruler; he had repulsed a dangerous inroad of the northmen from France, summoned no doubt by the cry of distress from their brethren in England, and had bridled East-Anglia to the south by the erection of forts at Hertford and Witham.
Her legs, too short for her feet to touch the pedals as they made a complete revolution, stuck out at an angle; but she guided the wheel and rode past Tim Reardon and the colonel, triumphantly. When the wheel stopped, she let it fall and landed on her feet, laughing. "Here it is, Colonel Witham," said she, rolling it back to where he stood. "Let's see you ride it."
"I hated to tell you that we were in danger of losing the mill." "Well, I'm going," declared John Ellison, and Mrs. Ellison gave reluctant consent. Still, she might have saved herself the trouble of objecting, and let Colonel Witham settle the matter which he did, summarily.
And for all his being there voluntarily, one might have seen by the pallor of his face that he was half afraid. There, in the shadow, just beyond the rim of his own lantern light, was the desk where Jim Ellison used to sit and sneer at him. Did Colonel Witham recall that? Perhaps. He lifted the lantern and let the light fall on the spot. The place was certainly empty.
It would be a big load, or at least a lofty one. Grandmother Ruth began to fear lest the girls should fall off, and, calling on Elder Witham to catch them, she bade them slide down cautiously to the ground at the rear end of the cart. She then went on laying the load alone.
Had he been fooled? He did not know. It was certainly strange: how the voice had described his hotel a big house with a porch and he looking out and the other man the man that had hidden the papers. No, there was something remarkable about it all. He would surely get them. Colonel Witham emerged from the tent.
The Sixth Commandment is suspended by one medical diploma from the North of England to the South. But, by the new system of interrogation, a man may be admitted into Orders at Barnet, rejected at Stevenage, readmitted at Buckden, kicked out as a Calvinist at Witham Common, and hailed as an ardent Arminian on his arrival at York."
"Colonel Witham," said Grannie Thornton, as her employer entered the hotel, a few minutes later, "here's a note for you, from Mr. Ellison. Guess he wants to see you about something." "Hm!" exclaimed the colonel, opening the note, and dampening it much in doing so, "Jim Ellison, eh? More of his queer business doings, I reckon.
Colonel Witham, grasping one of the handle-bars, eyed the velocipede almost longingly. "No," he said. "I'm too old and stout now. Guess my riding days are over. But I used to make it go once, I tell you." "Go ahead, get on. You can ride it," urged Tim Reardon. "It won't break." "Oh no, it will hold me, all right," said Colonel Witham. "We didn't have any busted tires in our day.
There was a huge heap of loose hay on the ground, fully ten feet high, but she was nowhere to be seen in it. Nor did she speak or stir. "Great Lord, I'm afraid it's killed her!" Elder Witham exclaimed. Jim and Asa stood horrified, and the girls burst out crying. The old Squire had turned white. "Ruth! Ruth!" he cried. "Are you badly hurt? Do you hear? Can't you answer?"
