"I'll take you over to his office," nodded Foreman Payson. "I'm going, too," announced another workman. "So'm I," added another. "One at a time, men," advised Payson. "I think Bellas feels that he's capable of talking for all of you." The other foremen restrained the crowd, while Mr. Payson led Bellas over to the headquarters shack.
He dropped, instantly, as he leaped forward, making a low tackle and rising with both arms wrapped around Bellas's knees. Tom took two swift steps forward, then heaved his man, head first, out through the open doorway. Bellas landed about eight feet away. He was not hurt, beyond a jolting, and leaped to his feet, shaking both fists.
Omnis bella bellabilis in bellerio bellando, bellans, bellativo, bellare facit, bellabiliter bellantes. Parisius habet bellas. Ergo gluc, Ha, ha, ha. This is spoken to some purpose. It is in tertio primae, in Darii, or elsewhere.
Bellas, you have been drinking over in town, haven't you?" "If I have, it's my own business. I'm no slave." "Ben gambling, too?" "None of your " "You're in error," Tom answered pleasantly, though firmly. "The gamblers over in Paloma are leagued with the dive keepers against us, Bellas. You know what they did out at the big sink of the Man-killer last night.
But Anne was indignant. "It's like Bella," she snapped. "Well, she has made her bed and she can lie on it. I'm sure I shan't make it for her. But if you want to know my opinion, Mr. Harbison may be a fool, but you can't ram two Bellas, both NEE Knowles, down Miss Caruthers' throat with a stick." We had not thought of that before and every one looked blank.
Tom looked up from a handful of old letters as the two men entered. "See here, you!" was Bellas's form of greeting. "Try it again," smiled Tom pleasantly.

Tom took a step forward, his open hands hanging at his sides. He didn't look by any means alarmed, though Bellas appeared to be about twice the young chief engineer's size. So prompt had been Reade's action that, for a moment, Bellas looked astounded. Then, with a roar, he leaped forward, swinging both arms and closing in. Tom Reade had had his best physical training on the football gridiron.
Any man who goes away from camp and 'enjoys' himself for hours among those who are trying to put us out of business shows himself to be a friend to the enemies of this camp. Therefore the man who does that shows himself to be one of our enemies, in sympathy if not in fact." "I'm no lawyer," growled Bellas sullenly, "and I can't follow your flow of gab."
The supporters of the bill of rights feel no niceties of composition, nor dexterities of sophistry; their faculties are better proportioned to the bawl of Bellas, or barbarity of Beckford; but they are told, that Junius is on their side, and they are, therefore, sure that Junius is infallible.
