The dress suit may come in here with street cars and passenger elevators, but it lacks a good deal of being here yet, except in the most sporadic and infrequent way. And this thing is to be so absolutely informal that it would make the natives stare. You wouldn't wear it if you had it, Al." "Who will come?" said Mrs. Barslow.
We offered as an excuse the lateness of the hour. "Why, you hain't seen my family yet, Mr. Barslow," said he. "They'll be disappointed if yeh don't come in." I suggested that we were staying for a few days at the Centropolis; and Alice added that we should be glad to see himself and Mrs. Trescott there at any time during our stay. Elkins promised that we should all drive out again.
"A terror; yes," said Jim. "What sort of time are we making?" "Just about holding our own," said Corcoran. "Not much to spare. Got to stop at Barslow for water. But there won't be any bad track from there on. This snow won't cut any figure for three hours yet, and mebbe not at all, there's so little of it." "Kittrick has been asking for an appropriation to rebuild the Elk Fork trestle," said Jim.
It's all right, Barslow, it's all right." "Up on the battlements, are you?" said I. "Well, I congratulate you, Giddings; and don't make such an ass of yourself, please, any more. I never noticed until this evening what a fine girl Laura is. You're really a very fortunate fellow indeed!" "You never noticed it!" said he with utter scorn. "Well, if "
"You don't know the situation, Barslow," he insisted, shaking his head gloomily, "and there's no use in trying to tell you. She's too exalted in her ideals ever to accept me. She's told me things about the qualities she must have in the one who should be nearest to her that just simply shut me out; and I haven't called since.
This mine for the historian will also disclose to him the fact that the rescued crew and passengers were brought home by a relief-train in charge of General Manager Kittrick, and that Mr. Elkins was taken directly to the home of Mr. Barslow, where he at once became subject to the jurisdiction of physicians and nurses and "could not be seen."
But I like to meet 'em out there the best; and I want to urge you to come often, Mrs. Barslow, while you're here. And in case you move here, I hope you'll like us and the farm well enough so that we'll see a good deal of you." I was presented to Mrs. Trescott, and reintroduced to the young lady, with whom Alice seemed already on friendly terms.
"No," said I, "unless you particularly wish it; we shall go home." "Mr. Barslow," said one of the maids, "you are wanted at the telephone." "Is this you, Al?" said Jim's voice over the wire. "I'm up here at Josie's, and I am afraid there's trouble with her father. When we got here we found him gone. Hadn't you better go out and look around for him?"
She arose, buttoned her jacket about her, and stood quietly as if to test her mastery of herself, once or twice moving as if to speak, but stopping short, with a long, quivering sigh. I longed to take her in my arms and comfort her; for, in a way, she attracted me strongly. "Mr. Barslow," said she at last, "I have no apology to make to you; for you are my friend. And I have no feeling toward Mr.
"In a word," said I, "the girl who gave you the flowers is the Empress!" "Albert Barslow!" said Alice. "Why " My wife was silent for a long time. "I knew we'd meet her," she said at last. "It is fate." I am Inducted into the Cave, and Enlist. "Here's the cave," said Jim, at the door of his office, next morning. "As prospective joint-proprietor and co-malefactor, I bid you welcome."
