"[...] "Fred, forgive me! Did I hurt you? No? In the joyful exuberance of my emotion the swelling tide of feeling overran its bounds and came-" "Oh, bother the swelling tide! I'm obliged to you for the news, though. Here, take the other hand; that's it! I thought I could convince 'em that a man can speak sometimes with his right arm strapped fast to his ribs. You're sure there's no mistake about it, Charley?"[...]."
"Battalion, right forward, fours right, march! Guide left!" The command was sharp, distinct, soldierly. The first set of fours moved straight to the front with unhesitating firmness and uniformity of step; the orderly sergeant took his place to the left of the set with ease and rapidity. The remainder of the battalion broke into fours, wheeling to the right with promptness and precision, and in the next moment the entire column was on the march.

CHAPTER II WHEN Hal McCormack came down to breakfast on the morning following Hallowe'en, he found that the other members of the family had almost completed their morning meal. But it was apparent, from the atmosphere surrounding the table, that something had gone wrong. His mother looked worried, his young sisters looked curious, and his father, who was captain of the local company of the National Guard, had a stern and military air. "Halpert," said Captain McCormack, "before you take your seat at the table you will please go to the front porch and see what is there." The request was such an unusual one that Hal stood for a moment wondering and motionless. But only for a moment. He had been accustomed from childhood to give ready obedience to his father's commands, and, without comment or question, he obeyed now. Two minutes later he again entered the dining-room. "Well," questioned his father, "what did you find there?" "Why," stammered the boy, "I found that marble statue; and it's broken in two." "So I discovered. Who broke it?" "Honest, father, I don't know. We didn't. It was perfectly all right when we left it." "Where did you leave it?" "On Jim Perry's porch." "When?" "I guess it was about twelve o'clock." "And where did you get it?" "From Mr. Barriscale's lawn." "I thought as much. I recognized it. Who helped you take it?" For the first time Hal hesitated. Hitherto his answers had been prompt and frank. But he could not betray his companions. He had promised not to do so. He would not have done so if he had not promised. "Well?" His father was looking at him sternly and questioningly. He knew that he must make some reply. "Well," he said, " you see, it's this way. We all promised not to peach on each other. And, if you'd just as soon, I'd rather not...
Excerpt from The Blind Brother: A Story of the Pennsylvania Coal Mines Up in the Lackawanna region a strike had been in progress for nearly two weeks. Efforts had been made by the strikers to persuade the miners down the valley to join them, but at first without success. Then a committee of one hundred came down to appeal and to intimidate. In squads of ten or more they visited the mines in the region, and, in the course of their journeyings, had come to the Dryden Slope. They had induced the miners to go out at all the workings they had thus far entered, and were no less successful here. It required persuasion, sometimes threats, sometimes, indeed, even blows, for the miners in Dryden Slope had no cause of complaint against their employers; they earned good wages, and were content.

On the second day of July in the year 1863 the Civil War in America was at its height. Late in the preceding month Lee had turned his face northward, and, with an army of a hundred thousand Confederate soldiers at his back, had marched up into Pennsylvania. There was little to hinder his advance. Refraining, by reason of strict orders, from wanton destruction of property, his soldiers nevertheless lived on the rich country through which they passed. York and Carlisle were in their grasp. Harrisburg was but a day's march away, and now, on this second day of July, flushed with fresh victories, they had turned and were giving desperate battle, through the streets and on the hills of Gettysburg, to the Union armies that had followed them.

Hoeing corn is not very hard work for one who is accustomed to it, but the circumstances of the hoeing may make the task an exceedingly laborious one. They did so in Joe Gaston's case. Joe Gaston thought he had never in his life before been put to such hard and disagreeable work. In the first place, the ground had been broken up only that spring, and it was very rough and stony. Next, the field was on a western slope, and the rays of the afternoon sun shone squarely on it. It was an unusually oppressive day, too, for the last of June. Finally, and chiefly: Joe was a fourteen-year-old boy, fond of sport and of[2] companionship, and he was working there alone.
