their vigorous and daring energy, there was always 

 the chance of their fighting one another: but the 

 great majority, if given the chance to do hard or 

 dangerous work, availed themselves of it with the 

 utmost eagerness, and though fever sickened and 

 weakened them so that many died from it during the 

 few months following their return, yet, as a whole, 

 they are now doing fairly well. A few have shot 

 other men or been shot themselves; a few ran for 

 office and got elected, like Llewellen and Luna in 

 New Mexico, or defeated, like Brodie and Wilcox 

 in Arizona ; some have been trying hard to get to the 

 Philippines ; some have returned to college, or to the 

 law, or the factory, or the counting-room; most of 

 them have gone back to the mine, the ranch, and 

 the hunting camp; and the great majority have 

 taken up the threads of their lives where they 

 dropped them when the Maine was blown up and the 

 country called to arms.
