I stopped abruptly, realizing that this was not cricket. To make up, I put out my hand quite coolly; but she grasped it in both of hers and held it in a soft, warm clasp. "I shall never forget," she whispered. "Come back to us, Mr. Bayne!" For a moment I looked at her in the light of the candle, at her lovely face, at the ruddy hair framing it, at the tears heavy on her lashes.
Bayne had been about to conclude his own call, which concerned a matter of business, the claim of a reward which he considered fraudulent, but he turned at the door, his hat in his hand and came back, leaning against the mantel-piece opposite her. He noted that the tears stood deep in her eyes. "I can't bear to think of her unhappiness," she said, "when I consider all I owe to her."
RHODE ISLAND: Little Rhody needs some good, small bag limits; for now she has none! She should enact a Bayne law, a Pennsylvania law against aliens, and a New Jersey law against the automatic and pump guns. She should stop killing the beautiful wood-duck, and gray squirrel. She should stop all spring shooting of waterfowl. SOUTH CAROLINA: She should save her game while she still has some to save.
County legislation is twenty years behind the times! For ten full years, stop the killing of elk, mountain sheep, mountain goat, caribou, moose, and antelope. Regarding deer, I am in doubt. Prohibit the sale of all wild game, no matter where killed, by the enactment of a Bayne law, complete, which will also Promote the breeding, killing and sale of domestic game for food purposes.
I saw how strong the door was, what a lot of breaking it would take. And if they did force a way in, then I could try some sharp-shooting. But Miss Falconer was getting up slowly. "Now the papers, Mr. Bayne," said she. To be sure, the papers! I had temporarily forgotten them. "They can't be here," I said blankly, gazing about the room. "No, not here. In there." She motioned toward the inner door.
She found it, another, lesser ledge which she had almost missed, and knew that this way she had clambered upward with Bayne Trevors. If she could only find another step and another before Quinnion came upon her! She held her club in her teeth; she must not let that go. Quinnion was over the ledge, following her. She heard his heavy breathing, heard him cursing her again.
Alicia's letter was mailed next morning and to her surprise a reply arrived about noon, brought by a messenger. It said: My dear Miss Steele: Your welcome invitation is here. I cannot accept for to-morrow as I have an important engagement then, but I will do myself the pleasure of calling upon you TO-DAY at four o'clock, and trust I may find you at home. Sincerely yours, BAYNE CORIELL.
I wanted to see you, too, I wanted to say to you yourself again, that I was never guilty of murder, and that I only seemed to consent to your death to save your life! Do you believe this? On the word of a dying man it is truth!" "I do believe you, Donald Bayne," said Capitola, in a broken voice. "I hear that you have come into your estate. I am glad of it.
The man seemed singularly uneasy at being spoken to: however he made answer sullenly that he had seen better ones, and worse ones, and all. Henry was, however, aware, that the breaking of a large grindstone, while revolving by steam power, was a serious, and often a fatal thing; he therefore made a private mark upon the wall opposite the grindstone, and took his excited companion to Bayne.
Major Bayne followed him to the door, and outside: "Take my horse and Monroe with you, and good-bye, old man. All sorts of good luck. Remember that we all feel to-night that you are really one of us, and that we are better men because we have known you. Goodbye." Again Barry was conscious of that strange suggestion, almost of impending calamity. "I hate to go, major," he said.
