What right have Pollard and the others to cut in on this coin? You and me, kid, can " "I don't hear you, Denver," interrupted Terry. "I don't hear you. We wouldn't have known where to find the stuff if it hadn't been for Pollard's friend Sandy. They get their share but you can have my part, Denver. I'm not doing this for money; it's only an object lesson to that fat-headed sheriff.
But David Pollard declined to go ashore, on the plea that he had some letters to write, which left a guard of two on board. It was eleven o'clock, just to the minute, as the automobile chartered by Mr. Farnum came around the corner of the hotel veranda. At that same instant another and handsomer car came rolling into sight. The door of the ladies' parlor opened, and Mlle.
Winifred, shaking hands warmly, asked King in, and remarking that her uncle was only reading, invited him into the office. Pollard, she knew, had no reason to suspect what she had in mind, and she would give him no reason. Before Bud left she would find a way to give him the note.
"I thought you had been invited, perhaps; Miss Pollard is going to be married this afternoon." Miss Pollard going to be married! Could any thing have been worse? Shocked, I drew back; Miss Pollard was a beautiful girl and totally innocent, in as far as I knew, of any of the wrong which had certainly been perpetrated by some members of her family.
"There's a tragedy going on over there, isn't there?" demanded another journalist, pointing out across the water. "I I'm afraid there is a chance of it," nodded Mr. Farnum, dejectedly, again looking at the watch in his hand. "It's getting on toward an hour since the 'Pollard' went down." "What are you going to do about it?" "Is there no way to rescue the crew?"
That owing to circumstances which I cannot explain, but greatly regret, this paper has been out of my hands for a short time, and in speaking as I did, I wished merely to state that it would be a satisfaction to me to know that no harm has befallen it, and that this is the very will in spirit and detail which you drew up and saw signed by Mr. Pollard."
I never quite knew what his plan was; but he would send a man off, generally alone, with a solid sum for travelling expenses. Thus Lestrange was sent for a month to Berlin when Joachim held court there, or to Dresden and Munich. I remember Pollard and Vincent being packed off to Switzerland together to climb mountains, with stern injunctions to be sociable. Rose went to Spain, to Paris, to St.
Don't let any one see. It is very important." Then she ran down stairs, slipping the note into the bosom of her dress, hastening to be at the door when the Bar X man knocked lest Henry Pollard turn him away, saying that she was not at home. As she opened the door, and Bud entered, hat in hand and flushed of face, Pollard came to the door of his office.
Just how many more there were, could not be clearly made out by those on board the "Pollard," for some had undoubtedly crouched below the deck bulwarks. But one man among the mutineers possessed the rough courage to advance to the rail, shouting in a husky voice: "You go on your way, and mind your own business, Mr. Navy!"
Immediately afterwards a noise of wings and talking announced the arrival of Kapchack, who came in full state, with eight of his finest guards. The king perched on the top of the pollard, just over the owl's window, and the eight magpies sat above and around, but always behind him. "What an ugly old fellow he is!" whispered Bevis, who had never before seen him. "Look at his ragged tail!"
