"Darling, you wouldn't believe me if I told you how much rot-gut Scotch it took to put me under, but that filthy bootlegging hotel clerk would have charged me twice what he did for the stuff if he had known how much good it would do me." "Hotel?" Penny snatched at the vital word. "Where did you go to get drunk, Ralph?"
The first voice was Ann's, the second Hite's. "Say, Jimmy, I got an idea. You know there's bootlegging in Canada. Fact is where sale of liquor is permitted up to certain hours, there are birds who sell it after hours and are subject to fine and imprisonment mebbe.
Instead, you are to get him into jail at once." "How?" "The simplest and most direct way possible. You have that Poole tribe under your thumb, have you not?" "Bootlegging, chicken-stealing, sneak-thieving, arson, and perjury. And they are ripe for any deviltry, without compulsion. All I need to do is to show them a piece of money and give instructions."
"You wouldn't think it to look at him, but he surely has thrown a monkey wrench into as pretty a bootlegging machine as there is in the country. It's such confidential stuff, of course, that you may call it absolutely secret. But for once I'm telling the truth about it. "Your husband, Mrs. Casey Ryan, holds a commission from headquarters as a prohibition officer.
I hate Reformers; They raise my blood pressure. There are the Prohibitionists; The Fathers of Bootlegging. They made us what we are to-day I hope they're satisfied. They can prove that the Johnstown flood, And the blizzard of 1888, And the destruction of Pompeii Were all due to alcohol.
Instead of a fairy maiden, sweet and demure, a grown-up child as he had vaguely pictured her, he had found a brazen, painted, slangy, gum-chewing flapper, a modern of moderns such as would have broken old Ike Brandon's heart as it doubtless had. The last of the old-timers were a bootlegging bartender and a half-crazy and wholly vicious prospector.
They had prohibition there, too ... long before it won nation-wide power ... consequently the negroes drove a vast trade in bootlegging ... and a concomitant prostitution of coloured women and girls throve. One or two students on the hill had, to my knowledge, negro mistresses of whom they were fond....
Rather than give up his share of the loot, he chose to risk the great danger to his little foster-daughter. The realization that Slade was even more of a criminal than the moonshining and bootlegging had indicated, quickened Lennon's compassion for the girl. She was so artless and clinging and helpless He put his free arm about her quivering shoulders.
Casey had not intended to speed, either. He was merely keeping pace unconsciously with his thoughts. He had been told just what he must do if he were arrested for bootlegging, but he was not at all certain that his instructions would cover an arrest for stealing an automobile. Nolan had forgotten about that, he guessed.
Just at half-past eight that evening Tom, Harry, the superintendent and the foremen entered camp. They went, first, to a shack which they knew to be occupied by orderly, respectable blacks. "Come, men," said Tom, halting in the doorway. "I've an idea we may need you." Six negroes rose and came forward. "There are gambling and bootlegging going on in this camp to-night, aren't there?"
