It seemed to March that in the old man's warped and toughened heart he perceived a disappointed love for his son greater than for his other children; but this might have been fancy.

Lindau came in with some copy while Dryfoos was there, and March introduced them.

When Lindau went out, March explained to Dryfoos that he had lost his hand in the war; and he told him something of Lindau's career as he had known it.

Dryfoos appeared greatly pleased that 'Every Other Week' was giving Lindau work.

He said that he had helped to enlist a good many fellows for the war, and had paid money to fill up the Moffitt County quota under the later calls for troops.
