"Y'u shore did your part.
Grayson, Hobart, Blaisdell, the state politicians, and, all the others came out to meet them, and for a while there was a turmoil of voices asking questions and answering them. Presently Sylvia slipped from the group, and Mr. Plummer followed her towards the hotel. "Sylvia," he said, "wait for me. I have some thing to say." She recognized an unusual tone in his voice and she was frightened.
As he took off his hat and came nearer, it was seen that his eyes were blue and friendly, and that his hair was reddish-brown, and rather scanty on top of his head. "I am looking for Mr. Blaisdell Mr. James Blaisdell," he murmured hesitatingly. Something in the stranger's deferential manner sent a warm glow of importance to the woman's heart.

John Blaisdell, the husband of the woman whom I had cured of the dropsy, in accordance, as she believed at the time, with her prophetic dream. Blaisdell didn't know me at first; then he wanted to know what my bill was; I told him one hundred dollars, to say nothing of six years' interest; he said he had no money, though he was regarded as a rich man, and in fact was.
"Not especially," said Houston, "I have paid no attention to it, as it was not one in which our company was interested, nor one of which I was in charge. Since the recent change, I have visited the mine once with Mr. Blaisdell, but we only went in a short distance, and he informed me there was but little work done there, and but few men employed."
"This letter states that you expect one hundred and twenty-five dollars a month." "Then the letter is correct, sir." "All right, Mr. Black; we'll put you at work and let you prove that you're worth it," smiled Mr. Thurston pleasantly. "How soon shall I go to work, sir?" asked Black. "I expect my assistant, Mr. Blaisdell, here in about an hour. I'll send you out with him when he returns to field."

Frank Blaisdell had plenty to retire upon, but nothing to retire to. But I'm glad if he's happy now." "And he isn't the only one that that forty-thousand-dollar loss has done a good turn to," nodded Miss Maggie. "Mellicent has just been here. You know she's home from school. It's the Easter vacation, anyway, but she isn't going back. It's too expensive."
Tom told him all that had taken place, adding the caution that nothing was to be said about the matter for the present. "Whew! I wish Mr. Blaisdell had let me go along," murmured Hazelton. "I'd like to have seen his face when he finds out!" Hearing footsteps approaching outside, Reade signaled for silence. Then the flap of the tent was pulled back and Bad Pete glanced in.
