"You are very foolish not to go this morning and let your writing wait. We shall be certain to have something worth listening to; it is a strange time to select for absence."
This was strange, for the marshal was a very talkative man, and talkative men are not popular on the desert; but it has been discovered that on occasion his six-gun could speak as rapidly and much more accurately than his tongue. So Marshal Calkins waxed in favour. He set the household at ease upon his arrival by announcing that "they hadn't nothin' for him there."
Her moral nature was stirred to resentment, and she sat spell-bound, seeking in vain for a point of consolation. Meantime Lyons, like a good American, had sent for an evening paper, and was deep in its perusal. A startled ejaculation from him aroused Selma from her nightmare. Her husband was saying to her across the table: "My dear, Senator Calkins is dead." He spoke in a solemn, excited whisper.

Calkins will see by the intent of his very lessons, that he does not contemplate any such thing as 'sensation' or 'observation, as being a faculty: but, on the other hand, that he is so regarding certain individual powers of mind, by which we know in nature Color and Form and Number and Change and so on.
That is Binks, or Calkins, or Shivers, or any one of those worried gray-haired men who sit in the outer office behind a desk strewn with papers and make sure that no mistakes have been made. To them every doubtful question of practise is referred and they answer instantly sometimes wrongly, but always instantly.
