He's a common clod, but he represents authority he represents the law, and we must respect that fact, however his personal manner offends us." "All right, Alvord, I understand; but there's no use in my seeing him again. Can't you and Mason settle up things and let Aunt Abby and me go to our rooms?" "No, Eunice," Hendricks' voice was grave. "You must stay here.
We were courteously met by Major Alvord, the agent in charge of the entire estate. I explained the object of my visit, and he kindly gave us a few moments, showing us through the different barns and stables. Our eyes grew large with wonder as we saw the complete appliances for carrying on an immense stock-farm.
"If we were fools enough to take along a shotgun it'd be many a day before we'd get leave to go on another camping jaunt." So better counsel prevailed, and Joe Miller was not asked to loan his shotgun. In due time Joe drove around to the door of the store, and the work of loading began. "Hey, you fellows, where are you going?" hailed Ben Alvord, stopping and gaping in wonder.
"Poor little fellow! and to think that she doesn't care for him!" sighed Amy, pityingly; and they all laughed so heartily that she bent her head over her work to hide the rich color that stole into her face all laughed except Mr. Alvord, who, as usual, was an attentive and quiet listener, sitting a little in the background, so that his face was in partial shadow.
Everybody realized that Alvord Hendricks was a villain through and through that he had killed his friend though not by his own hand. Eunice never saw Hendricks again. She and Aunt Abby went away for a year's stay. They traveled in lovely lands, where the scenery and climate brought rest and peace to Eunice's troubled heart, and where she learned, by honest effort, to control her quick temper.
Alvord murmured; but, even to his morbid fancy, the deep silence of the night remained unbroken. He returned to his home, and sat down in the firelight. A golden-haired child again leaned upon his shoulder, and asked, "What else did He come for but to help people who are in trouble, and who have done wrong?" He started up.
Seeing the interest developing in his neighbor's face, Leonard said, briskly: "Mr. Alvord, here's an investment that will pay you to consider. The care of poultry involves light and intelligent labor, and therefore is adapted to those who cannot well meet the rough and heavy phases of outdoor work.
The tenderer ones had long since been taken up and prepared for winter blooming. To Amy's inquiry where Johnnie was, Maggie had replied that she had gone nutting by previous engagement with Mr. Alvord, and as the party returned in the glowing evening they met the oddly assorted friends with their baskets well filled.
She was pale as a girl could be and looked so ill that I asked her if she was well enough to be out alone; but she gave me no reply and left the store as soon as possible. That is all I can tell you about her." With this was enclosed his card: PHINEAS COX, Millinery, Trimmed and Untrimmed Hats, Sixth Avenue. "Now, what does this mean?" asked Mr. Alvord.
"Sanford is getting himself disliked in some quarters, influential ones, too, and he's making life-long enemies not Alvord, but others and it is all because he has the real interests of the club at heart. Al Hendricks is running it into into a mud-puddle! Isn't he, San?" "Well, yes, though I shouldn't have thought of using that word.
