Beasley's hints were not long in bearing the fruit he desired. Some one recollected the women who had been participants in their earlier frolic, and instantly there was a clamor for their presence. Beasley grinned. He was feeling almost joyous. The women readily answered the summons. They came garbed in long, flowing, tawdry wrappers, the hallmark of the lives they lived.
Then she proceeded to give her reminiscences of the Thayers, and it did not take long for the disappointed teacher to discover that, for all practical purposes, these reminiscences were valueless. Mrs. Beasley remembered many things, but nothing at all concerning John Thayer's life in the West, nor the name of the ship he sailed in, nor who his shipmates were.
Helen had made changes in the house by altering the arrangement of rooms and adding a new section. Only once had she ventured into the old dining-room where Las Vegas Carmichael had sat down to that fatal dinner for Beasley. She made a store-room of it, and a place she would never again enter.
Why, Nell and I couldn't even walk to the store in the village. He rode after me out on the range chased me.... For that Carmichael called Riggs's bluff down in Turner's saloon. Dared him to draw! Cussed him every name on the range! Slapped and beat and kicked him! Drove him out of Pine!... And now, whatever he has said to Beasley or you, it's a dead sure bet he's playing his own game.
Nan had to laugh again at this, and even Bess grew less embarrassed. When Mrs. Beasley came back with the coffee and pie, Nan drew her into conversation. "Inez, here, says she introduced two other girls from the country to your home a few days ago," said Nan. "Two girls who were looking for jobs with the movies." "Were they?" asked Mrs. Beasley, placidly. "My girls are always looking for jobs.
The first person who compared painting and poetry with one another was a man of refined feeling, who became aware of a similar effect produced upon himself by both arts. He felt both represent what is absent as if it were present, and appearance as if it were reality; that both deceived, and that the deception of both is pleasing. Translated by E. C. Beasley and Helen Zimmern.
During this time, many reinforcement officers arrived and two large drafts of other ranks. Two of our original officers returned Capt. Beasley, who now took command of "B" Company, and Lieut. Knighton, who returned to "D" as 2nd in Command. The remainder were new to us, and were posted as follows: "A" Company 2nd Lieuts. M.A. Hepworth, C.H. Pickworth, and G. Russell; "B" Company 2nd Lieuts.
"Sure," he said, draining his glass. "What about Pete?" Ike looked sharply into the other's grinning face. Then he banged his glass angrily on the counter and moved toward the door. "Pete ken go plumb to hell!" he cried furiously over his shoulder as he passed out. Beasley dropped nimbly from his counter and looked after him through the window.
In the firelight Snake Anson's face looked lean and serpent-like, his eyes glittered, and his long neck and all of his long length carried out the analogy of his name. "Snake, what's this here deal with Beasley?" inquired Jim. "Reckon you'll l'arn when I do," replied the leader. He appeared tired and thoughtful.
Then Beasley came forward to the fire, stretching his hands to the blaze. "Nothin' to do with sheep," replied he. "Wal, I reckoned not," assented the other. "An' say whatever your game is, I ain't likin' the way you kept me waitin' an' ridin' around. We waited near all day at Big Spring. Then thet greaser rode up an' sent us here. We're a long way from camp with no grub an' no blankets."
