"Atterbury," said he meditatively, "did I ever tell you why they do that?" "Yes," answered the man. "You told me once. The two metals in the electrolyte come down on the plates in alternate films as the current changes direction. But you never told me what the electrolyte was I don't suppose you would be willing to now, would you?" "H'm," said Bennie, "some time, maybe."
For a moment Emma seemed threatened with another attack of that inexplicable laughter. She choked it back resolutely. "No, Bennie; not too wide. I'll tell you to-morrow why I laughed. Then, perhaps, you'll laugh with me." Bennie, draping his despised skirt-model over one arm, had the courage to smile even now, though grimly. "I laugh sure," he said, showing his white teeth now.
She put Bennie down very gently, rose, and took the shaking little figure in her strong arms, and held it as though never to let it go again. There were little broken words of love and pity. She called her "Lammchen" and "little one," and so Frau Nirlanger and Blackie and I stole away, after a whispered consultation with the little probation officer.
I'll be back in a jiffy. What in thunder's the matter with that foolhead at the jib?" He seized the lantern and rushed to the bow. Bennie D. had dropped the halliard and was leaning over the rail screaming for help. Seth hoisted the jib himself, made it fast, and then turned his attention to the mutinous hand. "Shut up!" he bellowed, catching him by the arm.
Unsuccessful, but full of zeal and compassion, the poodle next bethought himself of finding her a stick or a stone to throw for him; Bennie was never tired of playing this game with him, and perhaps the baby might like it too. He ran sniffing about with his nose to the ground, and presently caught sight of something that glistened, lying in the grass near the cart. It was the little clog.
Although I would not for a great deal have given him the satisfaction of knowing it, I had been much vexed, secretly, by his rigidly ignoring me. "Bennie," he said in a low voice, "is there trouble brewing in the forecastle?" I was startled. "Why, no. I've seen no sign of trouble." "No one has talked to you, then?" "Not in such a way as you imply." "Hm!
He was hungry, having had nothing all day but a glass of beer and a free lunch. "They's a man up-stairs," said Bennie, shoving his empty plate up for another load of boiled beef. Mrs. Cowels smiled a faint smile, and her husband asked: "Who is this fellow?" "He's a plumber," was the reply, "and he seems like a very nice man." "Did he pay a month in advance?" "Yes."
An' Jim I ain't never seen him do nothin', but he always has a awful lot o' money. He must do his workin' at night after I'm asleep!" Rose-Marie, her mind working rapidly, realized that Bennie had given revelations of which he did not even dream. Pa his condition was what she had supposed it to be but Ella was drifting toward danger-shoals that she had never imagined!
An oscillatory spark discharge started off with a roar in a closed box, and the coil of wire became white hot. "Watch the plate!" shouted Bennie. And Thornton watched. For ten or fifteen seconds nothing happened, and then a faint beam of pale lavender light shot out from the capsule, and the metal plate swung away from the incandescent coil as if blown by a gentle breeze.
With one hand, Emma reached up and patted the fingers that rested protectingly on her shoulder. With the other, she wiped her eyes, then, all contrition, grasped the slender brown hand of the offended Koritz. "Bennie, please forgive me! I I didn't mean to laugh. I wasn't laughing at your new skirt." "You think it's too wide, maybe, huh?" Bennie Koritz said, and held it up doubtfully. "Too wide!"
