Candidate Everett was finding this conversation hard to follow. "There's something here that isn't on the level, and I suspected it the minute I came into this room. Presson, is the State Committee behind me?" "It is, and it's behind you to stay," declared the chairman. Again he turned to Thornton. "It's up to you, now, whether Arba Spinney gets the nomination or not.
"You'll have a bath, a shave, four hot towels, and a big bromo-seltzer all in the morning, and you'll go into the State Convention and stick by the party, just as you always have done. But as for to-night why, Phon, I wouldn't be surprised to see you pledge yourself to Arba Spinney." He gayly shoved the man to one side and went on.
"The boys are coming!" cried one of his friends, and stepped out through the window upon a balcony. "Wait till after I call for the cheers, Arba!" he called back. "Step out when they strike up Hail to the Chief." "This will make the Everett bunch sit up and take notice," said a man at Harlan's elbow. "There'll be a thousand men in line behind that band when she swings into the square, here!
That thou mayst know the kiss that tells the love of women. "Janat! Janat! Janat!" Batouch stirred uneasily, pulled his hood from his eyes and looked into the storm gravely. Then he shifted on the camel's hump and said to Ali: "How shall we get to Arba? The wind is like all the Touaregs going to battle. And when we leave the oasis "
Besides these two main constituents of the Chaldaean race, there is reason to believe that both a Semitic and an Arian element existed in the early population of the country. The subjects of the early kings are continually designated in the inscriptions by the title of kiprat-arbat, "the four nations," or arba lisun, "the four tongues."
Moreover, one's youthful imagination associates Hebron with the giants, the sons of Anak, sons, that is, of the long neck; men of Arba, with broad, square shoulders. A sight of the place itself revives this memory. Ancient Hebron stood higher than the present city, but as things now are, though the hills of Judea reach their greatest elevation in the neighborhood, Hebron itself rests in a valley.
The cool wind of the night blows over the vast spaces of the Sahara and touches her cheek, reminding her of the wind that, at Arba, carried fire towards her as she sat before the tent, reminding her of her glorious days of liberty, of the passion that came to her soul like fire in the desert. But she does not rebel.
Now I want to ask you one question: Do you want Arba Spinney for the next Governor of this State sitting in the chair that you honored? You know him! You've heard his mouth go. You understand his calibre. Do you want him?" "No," admitted General Waymouth. "Well, you're going to get him if you don't accept that nomination.
There were giants in the old days, and every machine newspaper in the State hailed General Waymouth as chief of the giants. They contrasted the present with the past. General Waymouth's picture gazed forth in stately benignity from every broadside his life story filled the columns of newspapers and the mouths of men. With Arba Spinney's activities Thornton was in touch at all times.
But in the years since then, while I've sat at one side of the arena and looked on, I've had a chance to meditate and a chance to observe. I don't think matters have been running right in this State and now I'm not speaking of Arba Spinney or his ilk. You come to me to-night and you ask me to be the Governor of this State once more. You want me to come back into the game.
