For an instant, even in the semi-darkness, Roy saw the other's face grow white as ashes. "He thinks that Lieut. Bradbury has caught my impersonator," was the thought that flashed through the boy's mind. But the same sudden radiance that had betrayed Mortlake's agitation also showed him that it was the real Roy Prescott he was facing.
Barclay was conscious of a feeling of exhilaration such as he had not known for many weeks, as he swung into Bradbury Avenue late that afternoon on his way to the Rathbawne residence. The duties of the day had been inordinately petty and vexatious, but he had dispatched them one and all with something approaching enthusiasm, a touch of the old Quixotic energy with which he had taken office.
The air seemed to vibrate under the sound as if a battery of gatling guns had been discharged. Fascinated, brother and sister watched the spectacle intently. They saw Mortlake clamber heavily into the machine, followed by Lieut. Bradbury. A mechanic started for the front of the plane and began swinging the propeller.
"There was Lieut. Bradbury, of the United States Navy " Harding and Mortlake exchanged annoyed glances. This was confirmation of their fears. "Yes, go on," urged the sheriff. "And myself, and Mr. Bancroft here and his sister, and later my brother came." "Do you recall the safe being opened while you were in the room?
When I left the hospitable shelter of Colonel Elliot's home I moved to Rosario, Sinaloa, where was situated the famous Tajo mine which has made the fortunes of the Bradbury family. It was owned then by Don Luis Bradbury, senior, the same Bradbury whose son is now such a prominent figure in the social and commercial life of San Francisco and Los Angeles.
But presently the next boy fidgeted, or a spider let himself down from the roof, or a bird flew past the window, or a slanting ray of sunlight revealed a multitude of dusty dancing motes, and the little lads forgot Mr. Bradbury, who had forgotten them and was busy with somebody else. It might be with the pope: Mr. Bradbury was fond of providing for the pope.
Suddenly the disgruntled youth spied Lieut. Bradbury. "A moment," he cried. As the young officer turned, Fanning, without a word of greeting, bellowed out: "Ain't it against the rules for a girl to drive an aeroplane in this contest." "Not that I am aware of," rejoined the officer. He reached over to a stack of pink booklets. "Here's a book of rules. Read it."
The indignant Judge fixed the Colonel, Peter Bradbury, and Squire Buckalew with his glittering eye, yet the hammering continued unabated; and the offenders surely would have been conducted forth in ignominy, had not gallantry prevailed, even in that formal place.
Abraham Bradbury had of course been present at the arrival, and the Friends upon the adjoining farms had kindly given their assistance, although it was a busy time of the year. While, therefore, no one suspected that the farmer could possibly accept a tenant of doubtful character, a general sentiment of curious expectancy went forth to meet the Donnelly family.
Bradbury, in the course of a morning's excursion, shot nearly three hundred with a fowling-piece. He gives a curious, though apparently a faithful, account of the kind of discipline observed in these immense flocks, so that each may have a chance of picking up food.
