Chapter XX
AT THE PRISON Mr. Woodward's actions had aroused me as I had never been aroused before. My eyes were wide open at last. I realized that if I ever expected to gain our family rights I must fight for them--and fight unflinchingly to the bitter end. It was nearly ten o'clock when I reached the Widow Canby's house. I met my Uncle Enos on the porch.
