I can't see much satisfaction in occupying a pigeon-hole in a girl's heart when, another fellow's got the key to it." The captain, was concerned with something far more serious than Andy's matrimonial failures. "What makes you think it's Hascombe?" he asked. "What makes everybody think so?" asked Andy. "What makes him think so himself?" The captain lost no time in finding Mrs.
It all looked suspicious and corroborative of Andy's story, and the Happy Family shifted their feet uneasily in the loose snow.
"I'm goin' to take the three hunderd outright and borrow the rest. I'm goin' to pay you, too, Andy." Andy's face, in the light of the setting sun, grew almost mellow. He turned it slowly. "When you goin' to pay me, Willum?" "To-morrow," answered William, promptly, "or mebbe next day. I reckoned we'd all go down and see about the boat together." Andy looked at him helplessly.
"No, there are not," said Andy. "I 'as took good care of that. You may scream as loud as you please, but no one will hear; and if we go farther into the underwood no one will see. Come, my purty miss; it's my turn now. It's my turn at last. Come along." Nora was strong and fearless, but she had not Andy's brute strength.
"Glad to have yuh!" came an instant duet. "And if I can scare up a horse " "Oh, we'll look after that. You can come right on out with us. The boys'll be plumb tickled to death to meet you." "Are they all farmers, same as you these boys you mention?" Luck looked up into Andy's eyes when he asked the question. Andy grinned.
Andy's faith in her return was as strong as ever, but Richard's had all died out. Ethie was dead, and when asked by Dr. Hayes if he had a wife, he answered sadly: "I had one, but I lost her."
"The little one to the north-east of the field," explained Andy. "I should think it held between two and three tons." Farmer Dale dropped the lines and jumped down into the road from the wagon, whip in hand. All his jubilant slyness deserted him. He began to get frightfully worked up over Andy's news. "Wait a minute," pleaded Andy. "Don't get excited till I explain.
It was pleasant to see Andy's sensitive face glow with delight at being thus publicly commended by that potentate of the family, his mother. Mrs. O'Callaghan saw it. "And did you think I wasn't noticin' because I didn't say nothin'?" she asked him.
He'd see himself kissing Jennie gude-bye in the morn, as he went off to work, and her waiting for him when he came hame at nicht, and waving to him as soon as she recognized him. And he'd think, too, sometimes, of Jennie wi' a bairn of theirs in her arms, looking like her, but wi' Andy's nose maybe, or his chin.
They resumed work on the RED CLOUD, and that night Tom announced that they would start in the morning. Meanwhile Andy's craft had disappeared from sight. There was no further evidence of the Indians. "I don't reckon they'll come back," spoke Abe, grimly. "They think we are sure-enough spirits, now, able to call creatures out of the air whenever we want 'em. But still we must be on our guard."
