If I ever attempted to set down a story in words, it would be concerning the time when I was much the same as a slave among the Dutch of New Amsterdam, meaning a certain part of the world in that America where so many of my father's countrymen came after they left England, because of the King's not allowing them to worship God in the way they believed to be right. It sounds odd to say that an English boy was ever held as slave by the Dutch, and perhaps I have no right to make such statement, because it is not strictly true, although there were many years in my life when I did the same work, and received the same fare, as did the negroes in the early days of New Amsterdam.

Excerpt: ...I haven't yet despaired of holding the whole wicked crew in check. It doesn't seem possible that God would withhold His hand while we are being beaten." "And yet it has been that many people in this country, whose cause was as just as ours, have been overcome by the same merciless foe who await us." "Ay, Sue, and since we can only take what comes as stoutly as decent English people should, we'll seem to be brave, however timorous our hearts may become when the last moment is at hand." Then these two children, striving to fill the places of their parents, began that vigil which both believed would be ended with their death. Mark made the announcement to his mother and aunt, after the gate had been shut and closely barred, that they and the children should remain in the dwelling until the moment came when they could be of assistance in loading the weapons, and in the meanwhile the task of guarding the stockade would devolve upon his brother, cousin, and himself. "We are not so much worse off than before, except that many more will come against us," he said, as the women and children went toward the Pemberton house. "We shall fight until the last, and, if God is kind, it may be we can hold the villains in check four and twenty hours, if no more. Get what rest you can, and remember that tears are of no avail when bullets are needed." Return to Contents CHAPTER IV. AN ATTACK When the women and smaller children were inside the dwelling, Mark said to his companions: "It is better to have something in the way of work on hand than remain idle, and it has come into my mind that we might improve our condition if we raised the top of the stockade so that we could stand on the platforms without being seen by those outside." "How would you set about it?" Luke asked, with mild curiosity. "A heavy timber might be made fast to the top of the palisade, and, by making loopholes between the upper ends of the logs, we would be hidden from view, and at the same time be...

Excerpt: ...though," Seth said thoughtfully, speaking half to himself, and then taking some coins from his pocket, he added, "You go out and buy the stuff. I'll wait here." "Why don't you come with me?" "I'm 'fraid if Ninety-four's men should see me they'd think I was runnin' 'round swellin'." "Well, s'posen they should? Haven't you got the right? Wouldn't most any feller who's got as near into the Department as you have?" "Mr. Davis said I was to go down-town to-morrow mornin', an' perhaps that's all he thought I ought'er do, so I'll hang on here instead of goin' out ag'in." Dan was not averse to making the purchases, and so deeply occupied was Seth with pleasant thoughts that it seemed to him Master Roberts had no more than left the room before he returned laden with packages. As on the previous night he was accompanied by Bill Dean, who exclaimed in a tone of satisfaction as he entered the room: "It seems like as if I'm allers 'round when you fellers are puttin' up swell lay-outs, don't it?" Then getting a full view of Seth for the first time he cried in an accent of unquestionable admiration, "Well, I'll be jiggered! Dan said you was lookin' mighty fine; but I never thought you could flash up like this! Why, you're a reg'lar fireman already." "You wouldn't think that if you could hear what Ninety-four's men say, an', besides, there's no brass buttons on this uniform, you know." "I ain't certain but it looks better without 'em. Anyhow, you're way up in G." "He ought'er know it by this time," Dan added with a laugh. "Everybody has been tellin' him so, an' he come mighty near paralyzin' Miss Hanson. She jest threw up both hands when we opened the door." "Well, I don't wonder; but say, I didn't come round to sponge off you fellers, 'cause I never thought of your havin' two such lay-outs one right after the other. I didn't know but you'd like to hear how we'd left Jip, an' then agin I wanted to talk 'bout bunkin' in here with you fellers." "This is Seth's...

1893. The story begins: Between Fox Peak and Smoke Creek Desert, on the western edge of the State of Nevada, is a beautiful valley, carpeted with bunch grass, which looks particularly bright and green to the venturesome traveler who has just crossed either of the two deserts lying toward the east. Buffalo Meadows the Indians named it, because of the vast herds of American bison found there before the white men hunted simply for the sport of killing; but those who halt at the last watercourse prior to crossing the wide stretches of sand on the journey east, speak of it as Comfort Hollow.

Three years ago last August, it is unnecessary to specify the exact date, Teddy Wright was not only a very lonely fellow, but considered himself abused by circumstances. During the previous season he had studied very hard at the military school on the Hudson which he often referred to slightingly as "the barracks," and as a reward for the flattering reports sent home by his teachers, had been promised a long vacation in the Adirondacks with a schoolmate who lived in the northern portion of New York state.

杰克猛烈地努力工作，直到呼吸短促时才喘息，以至于他被迫缓慢行走，然后再次向前推，仿佛期望农夫普拉特 正全力以赴，他因担心小路易斯会被敦促而迅速出行。带到贫穷的农场。沿着长长的陡峭山丘，经过火车站，直到三条道路在他面前伸展开：一条直线向前，另一条在右边，第三条在左边。他认为没有时间可以犹豫了。通往南部的那条路最引人入胜，因为树木在其边缘四处散落，他转过身去，直接离开了路易的母亲等待亲爱的朋友来的城市。由于高温和灰尘，孩子变得烦躁不安，小驼背在努力使他安静的过程中没有注意自己的疲劳。在他的沉重负担下，他走了过去，直到黄色的道路似乎融化成薄雾，然后飞舞而下，然后再次起身跳起舞，直到进一步的进步几乎是不可能的。杰克猛烈地努力工作，直到呼吸短促时才喘息，以至于他被迫缓慢行走，然后再次向前推，仿佛期望农夫普拉特 正全力以赴，他因担心小路易斯会被敦促而迅速出行。带到贫穷的农场。沿着长长的陡峭山丘，经过火车站，直到三条道路在他面前伸展开：一条直线向前，另一条在右边，第三条在左边。他认为没有时间可以犹豫了。通往南部的那条路最引人入胜，因为树木在其边缘四处散落，他转过身去，直接离开了路易的母亲等待亲爱的朋友来的城市。由于高温和灰尘，孩子变得烦躁不安，小驼背在努力使他安静的过程中没有注意自己的疲劳。在他的沉重负担下，他走了过去，直到黄色的道路似乎融化成薄雾，然后飞舞而下，然后再次起身跳起舞，直到进一步的进步几乎是不可能的。

"我将尝试一下。迪肯-琼斯说，我有权利以十美元的价格同时经营这两种产品，内森叔叔将借给我足够的钱来买股票。" "你现在想出什么计划了，泰迪-哈格里夫斯？" 太太看着眼镜，看着她丧偶姐姐的儿子，姐姐激动得气喘吁吁。 "我将在"桃子底"交易会上经营一个甘蔗刀板，并设法赚钱以支付母亲在该地方欠下的债务。" "你疯了-像三月野兔一样疯了！一个像你这样的孩子的想法使你自己赚了三，四百美元，而你的父亲一生都在工作，彼此相处得太少了。" Fernald太太确实似乎很生气，她真的相信有充分的理由使她发脾气。小泰迪（她叫他"惠特勒"）的想法应该引起他对长辈的这种看法，并试图在一个赛季中赚到塞思-哈格里夫斯在三十六年来从未偿还的金额。生活中如此荒谬，好女人把男孩的断言看作是积极的证据，证明他不仅准备好而且愿意"面对普罗维登斯飞翔"。

1882. A Sequel to Toby Tyler. Illustrated. The story begins: Why, we could start a circus jest as easy as a wink, Toby, 'cause you know all about one; an' all you'd have to do would be to tell us fellers what to do, an' we'd 'tend to the rest. Yes; but you see we hain't got a tent, or hosses, or wagons, or nothin', an' I don't see how you could get a circus up that way; and the speaker hugged his knees as he rocked himself to and fro in a musing way on the rather sharp point of a large rock, on which he had seated himself in order to hear what his companion had to say that was so important.

"If that 'ere ain't a boat, Cap'n Eph, I'll agree to eat this buff-skin, an' wash it down with a pint of Uncle Sam's best oil," and Mr. Samuel Peters, first assistant of Carys' Ledge light, flattened his nose against the glass of the lantern as he peered out over the surging waters which surrounded the light-house on every hand. An odd-looking man was Mr. Peters (better known to his companions in the service as "Sammy"), because of the fact that a bullet from the works of Petersburg had ploughed a deep furrow across his left cheek, and carried away a goodly portion of one ear. Thus indelibly branded as a veteran of the Civil War, Mr. Peters had been glad to accept the position of first assistant keeper of Carys' Ledge light, under the command of his old comrade-in-arms, Captain Ephraim Downs.

Archie Hemming is as straight-headed a boy as was ever raised in Boston town, and he insists that, while we are seemingly idling our time away here in the Cambridge camp, I ought to set down what small share we lads of Boston have had in beating the lobster backs, for certain it is we have done our share, and no less a man than General Israel Putnam has told us plainly that we have already been of great aid to the Cause. After such praise as that it would not be strange if we allowed ourselves to be puffed up with pride, more especially because we can recall many a time since a baker's dozen of us took the high sounding name of "Minute Boys of Boston," when we have come off best in a tussle with the king's soldiers or the rascally Tories.

It is not for one like me to make any pretense at trying to fashion a scholar's story out of the poor efforts of Sidney Hubbard, and myself, Clare Butler, to second the brave work of those noble men who, by enduring countless hardships and sparing not their own blood, finally rid the Carolinas of those leeches who claimed to be the king's servants-Governor William Tryon, Edmund Fanning and others of like brood. I count to set down on these pages such an account as I may be able to give concerning what we of the Carolinas did in those dark days eight years before the first patriot blood was shed at Lexington, and this task is to be performed simply that my descendants may, by reading our story, use their utmost efforts to preserve the fair country which has cost their forefathers so much of blood, anguish and bodily suffering.
