As however I shall have to give a more detailed account of the mines of South Aust ralia, it may not be necessary for me to speak of them at length in this place. Captain Bagot is anxious to establish a township in the vicinity of Kapunda, and he will no doubt succeed, the very concourse of people round such a place being favourable to his views.
Tooting, giving Austen a friendly poke with his cigar. "You showed your usual acumen, Mr. Tooting," said Austen, as he rose to put on his coat. Mr. Tooting regarded him uneasily. "You're a deep one, Aust," he declared; "some day you and, me must get together." Mr. Billings' desire for ultimate justice not being any stronger than Austen suspected, in due time Mr. Meader got his money.
"Say, Aust, the Honourable Hilary wants to see you to-night," he whispered. "Did he send you with the message?" Austen demanded. "That's right," said Mr. Tooting. "I guess you know what's up." Austen did not answer. At the foot of the stairway was the tall form of Hilary Vane himself, and Austen crossed the rotunda. "Do you want to see me, Judge?" he asked.
Wait till you see how the Railroad Commission'll whitewash that case. It makes a man want to be independent. What?" "This sounds like virtue, Ham." "I've often thought, too," said Mr. Tooting, "that a man could make more money if he didn't wear the collar." "But not sleep as well, perhaps," said Austen. "Say, Aust, you're not on the level with me."
Hamilton Tooting became ashy pale. "I haven't done anything to you, Aust. Say you didn't ?" He did not finish. Terrified by something in Austen's eye, which may or may not have been there at the time of the Blodgett incident, Mr. Tooting fled without completing his inquiry.
He became then afraid wondrously much, and betook him to counsel and to some communing, that he would march to Aust, with all his host; forth by Lengres he would proceed, -of Arthur he had mickle care! Arthur caused soon his host to be assembled, stilly by night his best knights; and forth the king marched with his good folk.
"Say, Aust, the Honourable Hilary wants to see you to-night," he whispered. "Did he send you with the message?" Austen demanded. "That's right," said Mr. Tooting. "I guess you know what's up." Austen did not answer. At the foot of the stairway was the tall form of Hilary Vane himself, and Austen crossed the rotunda. "Do you want to see me, Judge?" he asked.
"There's no chance for young men in that system," he said. "Young men write the noble parts of the governor's inaugurals," said Austen. "Yes," said Mr. Tooting, bitterly, "but you never get to be governor and read 'em. You've got to be a 'come on' with thirty thousand dollars to be a Northeastern governor and live next door to the Honourable Hilary in the Pelican. Well, so long, Aust.
Hamilton Tooting, a young man of a sporting appearance and a free vocabulary, made the next attempt. It is a characteristic of Mr. Tooting's kind that, in their efforts to be genial, they often use an awkward diminutive of their friends' names. "Hello, Aust," said Mr. Tooting, "I dropped in to get those witnesses in that Meagre accident, before I forget it."
"Well, I suppose you know there's an anti-railroad feeling growing in that House, and that Redbrook has more influence with the farmers than any other man." "I didn't know anything about Mr. Redbrook's influence," said Austen. Mr. Tooting looked unconvinced. "Say, Aust, if anything's in the wind, I wish you'd let me know. I'll keep it quiet."
