In this affair my wife and I were almost helpless, but Mr. Jones and Bagley were on hand, and proved themselves veterans, while Mrs. Jones stood by my wife until the dressed animals were transformed into souse, head- cheese, sausage, and well-salted pork. The children feasted and exulted through all the processes, especially enjoying some sweet spareribs.
There, by a pretended accident, he contrived to introduce the question of the money; but you had no light to volunteer on the subject, Larcher, and Davenport didn't see fit to press you. As for your knowing him to have the money in his possession, and your eventual inferences if he should disappear without using it for Bagley, the fact would come out anyhow as soon as Bagley returned to New York.
"The papers," he added, "will be ready for your signature to-morrow at this time, and I'll have a cheque ready for the entire amount. Good-day." Mr. Bagley entered. Ryder bowed to Herts, who slowly retired. When the door had closed on him Ryder went back to his desk, a smile of triumph on his face. Then he turned to his secretary: "Let Sergeant Ellison come up," he said.
"Connect me with the Bagley ranch," Judith directed the Rocky Mountain operator. "That's right, isn't it, Doc?" "Yes," answered Tripp. "That's the nearest case of cholera." "Hello," said Judith when the connection had been established. "Mr. Bagley? This is Judith Sanford, Blue Lake ranch. I've got a case of hog-cholera here, too. I want some information." She asked her questions, got her answers.
He'll explain everything to you." "He'll explain nothing," rejoined the senator grimly. "Mr. Bagley returns to England to-night. He won't have time to explain anything." "Returns to England?" echoed Kate dismayed. "Yes, and you go with me to Washington at once." The senator turned to Ryder. "Good-bye Ryder. The little domestic comedy is ended. I'm grateful it didn't turn out a drama.
I'm awfully sorry if you have to be afflicted with any more visits from Mr. Bagley." "I'll see him as rarely as I can. I should hate him for the injuries he did Murray, even if he were possible otherwise." When Edna saw Larcher, the next time he called at the flat, she first sent him into a mood of self-blame by telling what had resulted from the introduction of Bagley.
I didn't explain, of course, that the decision would be my own. If the money goes back to Bagley, I must depend solely upon what I can earn. I made up my mind not to be versatile in my vocations, as Davenport had been; to rely entirely on the one which seemed to promise most.
As Rollins suggested, I'd rather take my chances with the lightning than with a vicious neighbor. Bagley acted the part of a good friend to-night." Then, seeing that we could do nothing more, Merton and I entered the house. I clapped the boy on the shoulder as I said: "You acted like a man in the emergency, and I'm proud of you.
Don't ye know that when quiet, peaceable neighbors git riled up to our pitch, they mean what they say? Sw'ar, as I said, and be mighty sudden about it." "Don't be a fool," added his wife, who stood trembling behind him. "Can't you see?" "Very well, I sw'ar it," said the man, in some trepidation. "Now, Bagley," said Mr.
Before the three newcomers had finished their survey of the room, Larcher saw Barry Tompkins signalling, with a raised glass and a grinning countenance, from a far corner. He mentioned the fact to his companions. "Let's go over to him," said Bagley, abruptly. "I see there's room there." Larcher was nothing loath, nor was Turl in the least unwilling.
