"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, little missy. 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 gotta go somewhere at two o'clock to-morrow afternoon, Mr. Mr. Blaney; but I can go in the morning if it ain't going to look like I'm a freshie." "In the morning! Swell! But where who " She scribbled on a slip of paper and fluttered it into his hand. "Sara Juke! Some little name. Gee! I know right where you live. I know a lot of cases that come from round there.
"I won't monkey with Bridge," said Blaney, sullenly; "but I'll tell you, you're making a big mistake to take any stock in him. He's been lying to you. I never saw that contract before. He came to me and tried to get me to go up against you, and when I wouldn't he must have got up that contract to get even with me. That's what made me so mad about that story in the papers."
Jim took a copy of the contract out of his pocket and read it aloud, while Blaney listened in stupid amazement. "McNally is a smart man," Jim went on, folding the contract and replacing it, "and he sized you up just about right when he figured he could take you in with a fake like this, that isn't worth the paper it is written on.
Jim turned his horses and went back through the town and out toward the country. He found Blaney just inside the city limits, sitting on a curb and overseeing two bosses and a gang of laborers, who were tearing up the macadam with the destructive enthusiasm of the hired sewer digger. "How are you, Blaney?" called Jim, pulling up. Blaney nodded sourly.
which I heard by my Lord Arlington and Lord Blaney so much commended, and intend to buy it, but did not now, but home, where at the office did some business, as much as my eyes would give leave, and so home to supper, Mercer with us talking and singing, and so to bed. 18th.
This roused the Highlander, and saying, 'I'll settle you afterwards, Mister Keefe, he rushed in again at Slavin. Again Slavin met him again with his left, staggered him, and, before he fell, took a step forward and delivered a terrific right-hand blow on his jaw. Poor Sandy went down in a heap amid the yells of Blaney, Keefe, and some others of the gang.
When taken by surprise Mr. Bridge usually said nothing; that is why he had risen to the leadership of a faction. "I don't know just what's happened," Jim went on, "but there's trouble ahead." "Does Blaney say he's going to vote against you?" "No," said Jim, "but he gave himself away." "Can you block him?" Jim passed over the question. "I wish you'd watch him, Bridge.
"I guess," he said cautiously, "that if you want to tip Weeks over, you'll find there'll be some to help you." Bridge laughed bitterly. "There are plenty who'd be glad enough to do it if they could. He's had his grip on all of us long enough for that; but I'm afraid it's no good. We can't beat him. He's got us in a vise." "I don't know about that," said Blaney.
These were the only signs of life about the place. For Charlie, after displaying an unusual taciturnity, had taken himself off for the day, upon work which he had declared to be imperative, and Kid Blaney, after feeding and watering his horses, had done the same thing, on a similar excuse. Now, Bill felt he must do one of those very big "thinks," which, on occasion, he had been known to achieve.
