Her heart sank suddenly with misgivings. She halted as the unknown visitor addressed himself to Bostwick. "May I speak to you a moment privately?" Bostwick bristled with suspicions at once. "I have nothing of a private nature to discuss with you," he answered. "If you have anything to say to me, please say it and be prompt."
She blubbered right heartily, and, being really weary after her walk from the port, she fell back into the spring rocker, which squeaked almost as protestingly as she did, put her beringed hands before her face, and gave herself to grief. Sheila Macklin's expression did not change. She revealed no sympathy for Ida May Bostwick.
"That's the point I'm making at present." "It's just this side of the reservation, from what I hear," replied the gambler, "but if there's nothing on the reservation even near the 'Laughing Water' ground " Bostwick interrupted impatiently: "What's the matter with the 'Laughing Water' being on the reservation?" McCoppet was sharp but he failed to grasp his associate's meaning.
He could see that if he were blind. When we captured Bostwick and they got a confession out of him, that started the landslide against him. It began to be noised abroad that the government was going to wipe him out. Folks began to lose their terror of him, and after that his whole outfit began to want to turn State's evidence.
I'll write him a letter at once." Bostwick started, alertly, as she ran in her girlish pleasure to a stand where she had placed her materials for writing. "Good," he commented drily, "I'll mail it with one of my own." She dashed off a bright effusion with all her spontaneous enthusiasm. Bostwick supplied her with the address, and presently took the letter in his hand.
One wild, sweeping glance Van cast about, for a horse or something to ride. Suvy was stabled, unsaddled, up the street. Bostwick and his cloud of dust were dropping away in a swiftly narrowing perspective. And there stood a powerful, dusty-red car empty its motor in motion! There was no time to search for its owner. There were half a dozen different cars with which Van Buren was familiar.
And with those words the burnt sailor fell back in a dead faint. "He has fainted, poor fellow!" said Dick, as he bent over the unconscious form of Bostwick. "We ought to git back to the house at once!" put in old Jerry. "We must warn the cap'n and the others of what Lesher and his crowd intend to do." "That is true, but we can't leave this poor chap here.
Ida May Bostwick could not, in the first place, imagine any sane girl "falling for the two old hicks." Prudence could seldom show herself other than kindly toward any person whether she exactly approved of that person or not. So she chatted cheerfully at Ida May, if not with her.
From somebody, he felt sure, she would hear about this other girl who had appeared to claim kinship with the Balls and demand that Sheila give over to her the place she had with Cap'n Ira and Prudence. For Ida May Bostwick was going to talk. Tunis knew that well enough.
He had suddenly conceived a new estimate of the man who had come from New York. Bostwick again leaned forward, continuing: "No one will be aware of the facts but ourselves therefore no one will think of attempting to relocate the 'Laughing Water' ground, lawfully, at six o'clock on the morning of the rush.
