There was, besides, something exceedingly annoying in the manner of her who communicated the intelligence, and secretly Carrie felt glad that the dreaded "Miss Blackheart" had, of course, no Lenora to bring with her! "Do you know all this to be true?" asked Kate. "Perfectly true," said Lenora.
That Lenora was not all bad was shown by the unselfish affection she ever manifested for Willie, although her untimely interference between him and her mother oftentimes made matters worse. Thus, on the occasion of which we have been speaking, Mrs.
Besides, we're using up these fellows' hospitality." "We'll get everything in order to-night," Laura decided, "and start first thing to-morrow." They busied themselves for the next hour or two in making preparations. After their evening meal, the two men walked with Lenora and Laura to their tent. "I think you girls had better go to bed," Quest suggested. "Try and get a long night's sleep."
There were half-finished houses, little piles of building materials, heaps of stones, a watchman's shed, and all the dreary paraphernalia of an abandoned building enterprise. Quest wasted very little time before arriving at a decision. "The discovery of the bone so near the Professor's house," he decided, "cannot be coincidence only. We will waste no time out here, Lenora.
The cowboy, riding a little behind the two others, had unlimbered his lariat, and, while they watched, swung it over his head and secured the runaway. Quest galloped up to where Laura and the Professor were waving frantically. "Say, that's some fire!" Quest exclaimed. "Did you people come out to see it?" "No, we came to find Lenora!" Laura answered breathlessly. "That's her horse.
Suddenly Lenora, whose face was turned towards the entrance doors, gave a little cry. She took a quick step forward. "Laura!" she exclaimed, wonderingly. "Why, it's Laura!" They all turned around. A young woman had just entered the hotel, followed by a porter carrying some luggage. Her arm was in a sling and there was a bandage around her forehead. She walked, too, with the help of a stick.
Would you like to know what I am telling her?" The man shivered. His eyes, as though fascinated, watched the little instrument. "I am saying this, Craig," Quest continued. "Craig is here and in my power. He is sitting within a few feet of me and will not leave this room alive until he has told me your whereabouts. Keep up your courage, Lenora. You shall be free in an hour."
Ere Willie had time to repeat his assertion Lenora, who all the time had been standing by the door, appeared, saying, "You may believe him, for he has never been whipped to make him lie. I did do it, and I would do it again." "Lenora," said Mr. Hamilton, rather sternly, "you should not interfere in that manner. You will spoil the child."
She is a strange girl, as I always told you, and no one can manage her as well as myself." Then kissing Willie in token of forgiveness, she left the room, drawing Lenora after her and whispering fiercely in her ear, "How can you ever expect to succeed with the son, if you show off this way before the father." With a mocking laugh Lenora replied, "Pshaw!
"No," answered Lenora bitterly. "She has taught me enough of evil, but my memories of you were too sweet, too pleasant, for me to despise you, though I do not think you always did right, more than mother." The stranger groaned, and murmured: "It's true, all true;" while Lenora continued: "But where have you been all these years, and how came we to hear of your death?" "I have been in St.
