As soon as Jim gets well enough every cent will be paid, If I live." The crowd received this little speech in silence. One or two said, in low voices: "That's business. She'll do it, too, if anyone can." Barney pushed his way through the crowd with contemptuous. curses. "The she will!" he said. "We'll see 't you have a chance," McPhall and McIlvaine assured Mrs. Sanford.
Sanford, of February 15, 1867: "If Government thinks seriously of purchasing the Telegraph, and at this late day adopting my early suggestion that it ought to belong to the Post-Office Department, be it so if they will now pay for it. They must now pay millions for that which I offered to them for one hundred thousand dollars, and gave them a year for consideration ere they adopted it."
It was early the next morning that a young lady, very much perturbed, called on us at our hotel, scarcely waiting even the introduction of her plainly engraved card bearing the name, Miss Norma Sanford. "Perhaps you know of my sister, Asta Sanford, Mrs. Orrin Everson," she began, speaking very rapidly as if under stress. "We're down here on Asta's honeymoon in Orrin's yacht, the Belle Aventure."
Emma was a woman. We couldn't throw her out. We couldn't even get her to listen to parliamentary rules. And the worst of it was, she was telling the truth. That was something no one presumes to tell in local elections. To do it breaks the first commandment of politics; but what do the women, bless 'em, care for our commandments? The president of the school board at that time was Sanford Jones.
"You can't do a thing like this!" snapped Trevors, after one swift glance at the papers he had whisked out of their covering. "I can't, can't I?" she jeered at him. "Don't you fool yourself for one little minute! Pack your little trunk and hammer the trail." "I'll do nothing of the kind. Why, I don't know even who you are! You say that you are Judith Sanford." He shrugged his massive shoulders.
This kind of intimacy soon led to a declaration of love on the part of Sanford, which was fully responded to by the foolish girl. The former had much, he thought, to hope for in in a union with Miss Meadows. Her father was well off, and in a very excellent business. His fortune would be made if he could rise to the position of his son-in-law.
"Not yet. I sold my motor and some other things." "Had to live like a gentleman, whatever your salary, didn't you?" "I ought not to have done it," the boy admitted. "Nothing of the sort," Sanford sputtered, again resorting to his favorite phrase. "My son has to live like a gentleman, that's what I educated him for.
Strolling homeward about ten o'clock, having been joined by one of the young infantry officers, Mr. Gleason suggested their stopping at the store and refreshing themselves with a lemonade. Miss Sanford would have declined with thanks, but silently waited for her hostess to speak; and Mrs.
Hanlon, they're still suspecting Eunice Mrs, Embury and I must save her! She didn't do it truly she didn't, and I think I did." "What!" "Yes, I truly think so. But I wasn't myself, you know I was hypnotized " "Hypnotized! By whom?" "I don't know by some awful person who wanted Sanford dead, I suppose." "But that's ridiculous, Miss Ames " "No, it isn't. I'm a very easy subject "
Now help me off with my coat, and tell me all the damn fool things you've been doing." Their conference lasted well into the afternoon, an afternoon filled with surprises for them both. For the first time Allen found his father an interested, sympathetic listener; for the first time Stephen Sanford came to know his son.
