The watchful eye of the envious Alton would be fixed upon us, and not in vain; her triumph would outweigh her humiliation. I was at my wits' end. Love and luck, which have so favoured me throughout the course of my life, came to my aid. I had about me a small box containing hellebore. I opened it as if by instinct, and invited her to take a small pinch.
"Well," said Deringham, "I must endeavour if possible to return to England with you. When you spoke of being away a month you seemed to contemplate a possibility of being absent longer." Alton nodded. "I did," he said. "The man who found the silver is lying up there still, but I've provided for anything of that kind happening to me, as you will see in a day or two.
As he spoke there was a crash a little farther behind them, another ahead, and they stood still; Alton gripping the horse's bridle, Seaforth staring about him and scarcely breathing, while concussion answered concussion, until there was a silence that was almost bewildering again.
As it was, however, she shook his hand off, and looked at him with a sparkle in her eyes. "Why should you suppose that, and venture to presume upon it?" she said. "Would it be presuming?" "It would," said the girl very coldly. "Then," said Alton, "you can't tell me?" "No, of course not. Is there any reason why I should?"
"I'm glad to see you, Forel, for I've just come in from Victoria, and there's a good deal I want to know," he said. "You generally do," and Forel became suddenly grave. "You heard what happened to your kinsman?" "Yes," said Alton. "It was some time before I got your letter. I was back up there at the mine, you know. Very sudden, wasn't it?" Forel nodded. "Still, it was not altogether astonishing.
It was read by Miss Josephine M. McPike before the meeting of the Missouri Library Association at Joplin, Missouri, in October, 1915. Josephine Mary McPike was born in Alton, Illinois, and studied in Shurtleff College, Upper Alton, and in the University of Illinois. She became a member of the staff of the St. Louis Public Library in 1909.
Some mother's heart must be bursting for her! Hush thee! hush thee, little one; we will take thee home and clothe thee, and then thou shalt go to thy mother," she added, in better English than she had spoken four years earlier in Alton Wood. But the child still cried for her da-da, and the Princess asked again, "What is thy father's name, little maid?"
She may also have been aware that the picture had its attractions for a man who had lived a grim life of toil and self-denial, as this one had done. "It has occurred to me that this coffee is not the same that we had when we first came to Somasco," she said. Alton appeared a trifle embarrassed. "I had to go down and worry Horton about one or two little things," he said.
There may be other men who could do what is necessary better." Alton laughed a little. "You get right home every time," he said. "I've been thinking the same thing, but, though I wanted to, I couldn't find the man, and there isn't much use in running away from the work that's set out for you."
As regards Kingsley, in 1850 he had published tracts on "Christian Socialism." Alton Locke had already come out and met with scorn on the part of the Press, though working men who recognized Kingsley as their truest friend welcomed it gladly. He recognized that if a man is living in unsanitary conditions, it affects in a very real though inexplicable way his spiritual life.
