Not illustrated.1909 Excerpt: ... XXXII. JACKSON IN THE FOREGROUND The wedding journey was not without some delicacies of humor. Hundreds had come from the wilderness, and their oddities of dress and manners were a source of amusement. Katharine was especially drawn to a lanky frontiersman who had ridden on horseback all the way from Tennessee. He sat at the same table in the hotel and his conversation was an overflow of naive good nature. He wore a flannel shirt under a suit of new clothes, the stiffness of which made him fidget like a man in sackcloth. Mah lady made me go tuh the tailor''s an'' get somethin'' spruce, he informed them. ''Spose the General should ast yuh tuh stop an'' take a meal at the White House,'' sez she, ''yuh''d be in an almighty mux o''misery, ah''ll allow, with all them eastern folk a-sniggerin'' at yuh.'' Ah rared up agen it, but it warn''t no y-use. But ah balked, ah did, at one o'' these yere sta-ched shirts that chokes yuh win''pipe an'' tousles every time yuh turn yuh haid. I understand that you used some of the Adams fellows pretty roughly down in Tennessee, remarked George. Yes, sir-ee! The westerner chuckled with delight. We-uns was all a-boastin'' that oweh cyounty would go u-nanimous foh Ole Hick-o-ry, an'' when we discovered that tyew varmints had voted foh the grandee an'' the squire-archy, we got aftah them, ah''ll allow, with shootin'' irons in both hands. If they hadn''t scuttled foh the brush an'' laid low till owah feelin''s cooled down, they''d a-floated in tah, suh, at the least reckonin''. Katharine plied him with questions. In spite of his uncouthness, he unfailingly addressed her with a deference which revealed a fine grain of sentiment. Through him she obtained her first glimpse into the domestic life of Jackson at The Hermitage. The General kin swe-ah, he ...

THE FIRST APPEARANCE OF YOUNG AMERICA They fought in a bit of woodland within a ring of partisans. Neither had any science. It was a conflict of mere physical resources. George had compact bulk and driving strength against the agile movements and longer reach of his adversary. He took some punishment, but he lasted better, and finally, smashing through Frank's guard, he went into him like a bull into a ramshackle fence. Thorton reeled and fell on the exposed roots of a walnut tree. " Take back your slander of Lottie Benard," cried the victor, bending over. " I won't. It's true." He arose again, unbeaten, but he could not stand erect one minute before that pounding. Once more he went down, dazed and quivering. " Take it back," repeated George. " I won't, if I die for it. It's true," his foe cried with grit in his agony. " I'm whipped, though." George put on his coat. To wage battle further would be brutality. While his arms were entangled in his sleeves, Frank leaped up and struck him a last terrific blow on the cheek. ," Take that, you ragamuffin." Thornton slipped out of reach. Surprised, with swimming senses, George felt a barbaric lust to rush and avenge this treachery after surrender. However, he endured stoically the spasm of pain. " That will hurt you longer than me," he shouted, laughing with a wry face. The outburst of contempt from the boys forced Frank to slink away in shame. George went home with a new consciousness of power. He had put Frank Thornton to silence, he believed, and conquered a tacit respect. There could be no more scorn after that defeat. As he came through Ninth Street, he passed the University. Oh, how his heart thumped with the remembrance of Master Tisdell's words. And the desire to be a student there was energi.
