Graeme, poor old chap, was gazing at him with a sad yearning in his dark eyes; big Sandy was sitting very stiff and staring harder than ever into the fire; Baptiste was trembling with excitement; Blaney was openly wiping the tears away, but the face that held my eyes was that of old man Nelson. It was white, fierce, hungry-looking, his sunken eyes burning, his lips parted as if to cry.
I want to know what you're up to with our stock." Blaney gazed at the laborers. "Here!" he called to a lazy Irishman, "get back there where you belong!" "Come now, Blaney, talk business." "What do you want to know about that stock?" "How are you going to vote it?" "I guess I can vote it." "Are you going to stick to me?" "I don't know whether I am or not. I'll do what the Council directs."
"I ain't, but I 'ain't been deaf and dumb and blind round here for three years. I can pick 'em every time. You're taking your stitch in time. You 'ain't even got a wheeze in you. Why, I bet you 'ain't never seen red!" "No!" she cried, with quick comprehension. "Sure you 'ain't!" More tears and laughter in her voice. "I'm going to-night, then at six, Mr. Blaney." "Good! And to-morrow?
I also became acquainted with Captain Blennerhassett, and sometimes took a cold dinner at a small house he rented on the banks of the Meuse. We dubbed it Frogmore Hall, in consequence of a vast quantity of those creatures infesting it. Lord Blaney, who once wrote a book, principally on the best mode of cooking, figured away here. He was a good-natured but not a very wise man.
There's a deal on, and Frederick McNally is the other party. He's for C. & S.C. of course. Do you know him?" Bridge shook his head. "Well, never mind. I'll watch him. But you worry Blaney. He's a little rattled now, I reckon McNally's soaked him, and if you're careful you ought to find out something. I want to know just how they've fixed it." Bridge nodded. "I'll keep an eye on him."
It was midnight when Jim Weeks reached Tillman City. The next morning at breakfast he recognized Mr. McNally, and though he nodded pleasantly, his thoughts were not the most amicable. He knew that McNally meant mischief, and he also knew that McNally's mischief could be accomplished only through one man, Michael Blaney. Heretofore Blaney had not troubled Jim.
"But come, Franks! lead the way, or all Bloomsbury will be here, and then the police! I shouldn't like to be shut up for offending Mr. Blaney!" Those near them heard and laughed. She took Franks's arm. Room was speedily made before them, and in a minute they were out of the crowd, and in one of the main thoroughfares.
Already a nearby section of the roof had caved in! How long would it be before the flames reached the office and burned the old man alive? At this point the figure of a boy in Scout uniform broke through the fire lines and rushed up to the side of Chief Blaney.
'Hooray! yelled Blaney, 'up wid yez! and grabbing the cook by the shoulders from behind, he faced him about. Mr. Craig was the first to respond, and seizing the cookee in the same way, called out, 'Squad, fall in! quick march! In a moment every man was in the procession.
But with Bridge on his side the field was clear and there could be no doubt as to the success of the scheme. The one thing that troubled Blaney was that Bridge might demand money; but there was no need of facing that issue yet, for Bridge had apparently not thought of it. "He's just getting even for something," thought Blaney. There was a long silence, which Blaney broke at last.
