Blatchford, of the 'Little Mary. I wish you'd phone your freight agent to see that it is properly taken care of, and that the freight bill is sent to me." Gantry made no reply, but he went obediently to the house telephone and gave the necessary instructions. The thing done, he turned shortly upon Blount, scowling morosely. "Come on in and let's have a drink," he said.
A spasm of alarm came over me. I had quite forgotten the two men. The look of warning I gave her brought forth a merry, amused smile. "Don't hesitate to speak before Blatchford and Hawkes," she said, to my astonishment. "They are to be trusted implicitly. Isn't it true, Hawkes?" "It is, Madam," said he.

"Damn his behaviour and education!" responded a burly fellow; "let him be a barber or shoe-black that is all niggers are good for. If he comes, we go that's so, ain't it, boys?"

Blatchford spoke particularly against my having playmates around in work hours; evenings I shall always be at home, and then you can come and see me as often as you like." Since his visit to Warmouth, Charlie had been much more particular respecting his personal appearance, dressed neater, and was much more careful of his clothes.
Their manoeuvre went on so vigorously that Blatchford became alarmed, and sent an ambassador to arrange a compromise; but by this time Crombie had determined to oust Blatchford himself and elect an entirely new set of men, to compose more than half the Board, and so control everything. He succeeded.
"Little item of news to interest you-all," drawled the Southerner. "I've just come down from the recorder's office. The deeds for the water lots have just been recorded." He paused. "Have a drink, Cal," urged Dick Blatchford, "and sit down. What of it?" "They were recorded in the names of Malcolm Neil and young Keith. I'll have a cocktail." "That so? Pretty shaky title.
