That his word was law aboard ship, and that he enforced it in the fewest words possible, was evident in every line of his face and every tone of his voice. If he deserved an overhauling it certainly would not come from any one on board least of all from Carhart the Man-Who-Knew-It-All.
The second was from New York: "Deal off come to New York immediately Carhart." Within a week things had happened. Hamil quarrelled furiously and violently defended his scheme. He was summoned to New York and spent a bad half-hour on the carpet in Peter Carhart's office.
"You long-winded dude. You got our land take that for Peter Carhart!" He swung from the shoulder quick as lightning and down went Samuel in a heap. Dimly he heard steps in the doorway and knew that some one was holding McIntyre, but there was no need. The rancher had sunk down in his chair, and dropped his head in his hands. Samuel's brain was whirring.
"I've been afraid you're getting a bit stale." "Stale?" Samuel was puzzled. "You've done no work outside the office for nearly ten years?" "But I've had vacations, in the Adiron " Carhart waved this aside. "I mean outside work. Seeing the things move that we've always pulled the strings of here." "No " admitted Samuel; "I haven't."
"I'll bear witness for one," offered Dr. Rankin, looking up from his work, "and on a good many things." "Look out, damn you!" muttered Carhart. "I've been called to a good many cases of gunshot wounds," continued the doctor steadily, "and I've kept quiet because I was given to understand that my life was worth nothing if I spoke." "You'd better keep your mouth shut!" warned the bandit.
Are you handy with a gun?" "Why?" "Nothing I'm only asking." Carhart, the Man-Who-Knew-It-All, here lounged over from his seat by the table and dropped into a chair beside them, cutting short his reply. The Texan gave a significant look at the Actor, enforcing his silence, and then buried his face in a newspaper a month old.
Some one starts "Little drops of water," and big drops of perspiration appear on truly good foreheads for fear proof will be adduced to show that money has been obtained under false pretenses. And this goes by the name of religion! There should be honor among ministers. Both of the principals in this suit should be bounced. If the charges are true, Carhart should emigrate.
Brother Carhart entered the traveling connection in the Troy Conference, and came to the Wisconsin Conference by transfer in 1871, being stationed at Racine. He had just completed a full term, and hence Oshkosh is his second appointment in the Conference. He is a man of superior culture, fine preaching ability, and cannot fail to give character to the pulpit, wherever he may be stationed. Rev.
There are two children, Sylvia, the younger, and a son, Carhart, a fine-looking blond fellow when I knew him, but who got into some bad scrape the year after he left college, a gambling debt, I think, that his father repudiated, and sent him to try ranch life in the West.
If anything was really the matter the Captain would not be dancing jigs, nor would he leave the bridge for his meals. This, like all other counter-currents wave or otherwise tossed up a bobble of dispute when the two clashed. There was no doubt about it: Carhart had been "talking through his hat" "shooting off his mouth" the man was "a gas bag," etc., etc.
