Then, beyond the many-shaded fields, woods again, spruce and tamarack, where the stream entered, and maple and beech on the higher levels. That was one way to the mill, the way the farmers took with their grist or their oats for old Charley Boyle to grind. The other way came in by the McKenzies' lane from the Concession Line, which ran at right angles to the sideroad.
"Are you in the habit of giving this information to ladies you meet in traveling?" she asked. "Well, no!" answered Boyle "for that's just where you have to keep your eyes open. Most of 'em wouldn't like it, and it's no use aggravating a possible customer. But you are not that kind." Miss Cantire was silent. She knew she was not of that kind, but she did not require his vulgar indorsement.
"Joey!" he said suddenly, his thoughts reverting to a chance remark made to him in Valparaiso by Isobel's father, "what did Mr. Baring mean by saying there was a difficulty about the insurance?" Joey gave it up, but he cocked his ears and looked towards the door. Christobal entered. "Boyle will recover," he said, when he had wiped the spray off his face.
"Your bluff don't go, Boyle!" said he. "You'd just as well get on your horse and light out; and if you want to bring it to a fight, then let it be a fight. We'll meet you on any ground you pick." "You're a fool!" snarled Boyle. "Then I'll be a bigger one big enough to call you to account before another day has passed over your head for your part in that dirty work in Comanche that night.
And naturally you were the first one I thought of. Do you want the job?" asked the detective. "I'd jump at the chance," Jack agreed eagerly. "It'd be more fun than enough. "But, Mr. Boyle, how do you know that the boxes are taken to the freight thieves' headquarters, unopened, and not broken into right at the railroad?"
His mouth stood open impotently; the gray of a sinking heart came over his face as he looked long at the battered man, who had dropped the reins to the ground and was coming toward them on unsteady legs. Then, in a flash, Boyle recovered his poise. "Quick! Quick!" he called to the clerk, thrusting an impatient hand through the window.
When Brasher repeated the question he shook his head absently. "What? Oh, yes, yes. If you mean that we have the murderer of Mr. Miller, Mr. Brasher, I am not at all certain that you are right. Would you mind asking this Boyle when he had this watch cleaned last?" Brasher looked at him in undisguised surprise. Professor Brierly was oblivious to this. He was peering intently at the watch.
But suppose again this innocent criminal happened to have an unshakable alibi? That could be arranged for too. The alibi could be made to look 'fishy', as my friend Hale would put it. "Former Police Commissioner McGuire knew that 'Chicago' Boyle, alias 'Lefty' Harris was in this neighborhood. 'Lefty' had been convicted of entering a house with rope, climbing irons, and so forth.
In this they were following the injunction of Boyle, who used the developing embryo as a vehicle in an attack upon the idea that mixed bodies are compounded of three principles, the obscurities of which operated to discourage quantification: How will this hypothesis teach us, how a chick is formed in the egg, or how the seminal principles of mint, pompions, and other vegetables ... can fashion water into various plants, each of them endowed with its peculiar and determinate shape, and with divers specifick and discriminating qualities?
That the Lake of the Dismal Swamp is to become the great centre of attraction there can be no reasonable doubt. Recent demonstrations in that direction go to prove beyond cavil the fact. The visit of John Boyle O'Reilly, editor of the Boston Herald, Mr. Mosely, of Washington, and several other distinguished persons, go to prove the fact.
