Clair in the Northwest, and again as a brigadier-general under Wayne. Even here the atmosphere of intrigue enveloped him, and he was accused of inciting discontent among the Kentucky troops and of trying to supplant Wayne.
Wayne, Arliss, and the rest of the administration had counted on self-interest holding most of the cops loyal to them. They'd been wrong. Legal forces already controlled about half the city. "So?" Gordon asked. He could have told Trench that the fund was good-enough reason for most police deserting. Trench put his coffee down and yelled for more. It was obvious he'd spent the night without sleep.
But you must come into the house, Captain Wayne; Edith will be overjoyed to see you again, although you know she is never demonstrative, as I am. It must be awfully nice to be always cool and calm, don't you think?" Determined that I would not be tempted, I yet hesitated, and my vivacious companion took everything for granted at once. "Oh, before we go in, won't you do me a favor?" she asked.
Can you get word to Big Bill to keep a close watch on Little Saxon? I'll ride him in the spring." "And you, Wayne? You can't stay here all winter!" "I can, if there is anything to be gained by it. But we'll wait until we hear from Brisbane. He'll find the evidence we want, dear. And until then hadn't you rather think of me waiting here than lying in jail?"
The older woman came across the room and sat down at her daughter's side, putting her arm about the slender form. "Wanda, dear," she said softly. "I am going to tell you something which you don't know yet. Wayne quarrelled with Arthur last night!" The girl's body stiffened convulsively. She wanted to spring up and run out of the house to some hiding place in the old orchard and be alone.
You see, Grace, my salary on the newspaper, during the summer, is a generous one, and, by managing carefully, I can pay my expenses in college for the year with it. I don't have to do that, however, for every week I write a story for the Sunday edition of our paper which more than pays my board at Wayne Hall.
For an instant she remained motionless, her eyes lowered upon the carpet, a flush on either cheek; then they were frankly lifted to mine, and she extended both hands. "How can I ever thank you?" she asked gravely. "Captain Wayne, you make me trust you utterly, and place me constantly in your debt." Her words and manner combined to make me realize the depth of her feeling.
"Why, we thought him engaged to the beauty and belle of last winter, Miss Agnes Lorton." "Well, yes, Leta, old girls like you and I are rather off the cards: we don't expect to catch the prizes generally we leave that for these younger ones, like Jennie and Lucille," said Percy, coolly. "A Roland for your Oliver, Leta!" laughed Jennie Wayne.
Hansen had arrived, but alas, he had brought no trunk with him. He knew nothing about the matter at all. He could remember no trunk being on the back of his car when he left the repair shop in Ft. Wayne, but then, he had not looked particularly. He had made several stops on the way home on business he was a traveling salesman and that was how they had passed him on the road.
They had received no pay for many months, were without sufficient clothing to protect them from the weather, and sometimes without food. If they had not been fighting for freedom and their country's rights, they never could have stood it out." "One of the best things Wayne ever did," said Smith, "was that manoeuvre of his in Virginia, where the British thought they had him surely in a net."
