She half sprang toward them when Jack went down with a crash, after I had got them started on the last go. Drayton arose warily, the blood spurting from a nasty cut over the eye, where the heel of the other's glove had scraped. The "Boiler-plate" lumbered dangerously near just then, and Natica, despite her, uttered a cry of warning.
As I shut the door, she leaned to me and whispered: "Tell her for me she's a cat a cruel cat." I handed the driver a bill. "You've a very bad memory, cabby, haven't you?" I asked. "Extremely bad, sir," said he, touching his hat. "But, Maisie, I've got the swell's college shirt on," I heard "Boiler-plate" insist. Then the wheels moved.
I asked, coming back to her. For once I felt rebellious, and showed it, whereat she smiled. "Supper after the theater at Cherry's." "Oh, well, I don't mind that," I volunteered. "With 'Boiler-plate' Hartopp," she added. The searchlight dawned upon me. It swung around the room once or twice, and that was enough.
He's a human fox of the old military school, mustaches and all, and he can see through boiler-plate. But he's got a big heart. He has been a good friend of mine, so along with Derwent Conniston's story you've got to load up with a lot about McDowell, too. There are many things OH, GOD " He flung a hand to his chest. Grim horror settled in the little cabin as the cough convulsed him.
For short spans of sixty feet and under, two riveted boiler-plate girders under the track make a cheap and permanent bridge, and can be manufactured in any part of the country. For large spans there are several excellent forms of iron trusses, Bollman's, Fink's, or, still better, the wrought-iron lattice.
The Inspector sat behind a table covered with maps and papers, and instantly Keith was conscious of the penetrating inquisition of his gaze. He felt, for an instant, the disquieting tremor of the criminal. Then he met McDowell's eyes squarely. They were, as Conniston had warned him, eyes that could see through boiler-plate.
In any one of the forty-eight hours ensuing, I might have rung up the Draytons' on the telephone, and told her that I had come to my senses. But I didn't do anything of the sort. Instead, I hunted up a newspaper chap I knew, and he put me next to "Boiler-plate" Hartopp at the Metropole. The bruiser wasn't as bad sort as I had fancied him.
At the head of my department of publicity I put De Milt, a sort of cousin of Burbank's and a newspaper man. He attended to the subsidizing of news agencies that supplied thousands of country papers with boiler-plate matter to fill their inside pages. He also subsidized and otherwise won over many small town organs of the party.
Probably for some time you will alternate between the extremes of heavy crusts with doughy insides, and white weighty boiler-plate with no distinguishable crusts at all. Above all, do not lift the lid too often for the sake of taking a look. Have faith. There are other ways of baking bread. In the North Country forests, where you carry everything on your back, you will do it in the frying-pan.
"What fun!" she cried. "Jack, you're boxing against my champion." The "Boiler-plate," who had been regarding the work at hand with much gravity, again allowed his countenance to be relaxed by the old, foolish grin. "Oh, I say," he interposed. "That's all right, but so long as Maisie is in the room I'm fighting for her she's my wife, you know."
