"I would not address it," remarked the other girl. "It will be safer blank, for I shall give it into his hand." And ten minute later the mysterious girl departed, leaving Dorise to reflect over the curious encounter. So Hugh was in Malines. She went to the telephone, rang up Walter Brock, and told him the reassuring news. "In Malines?" he cried over the wire.
Brock to see before leaving the mountain country was the Crab Valley dam and irrigation canal, and the second day after the president's special entered the division it was side-tracked at a way station near Sleepy Cat for an inspection of the undertaking. The trip to the canal was by stage with four horses, and the ladies had been asked to go.
And, by way of further analogy, Brock was a thoroughly likable chap, beside being handsome and a thoroughbred to the core. It's not betraying a secret to affirm, cold-bloodedly, that Miss Fowler had not allied herself with the enterprise until after she had pinned Roxbury down to facts concerning Brock's antecedents.
"What!" said he. "Old Brock? The old thief has been more useful to me than many a better man. He is as brave in a row as a lion, as cunning in intrigue as a fox; he can nose a dun at an inconceivable distance, and scent out a pretty woman be she behind ever so many stone walls. If a gentleman wants a good rascal now, I can recommend him.
Brock was placed in a most peculiar position, for while the passive Prevost was still instructing him nearly three weeks after the declaration of war "to take no offensive measures, as none would be taken by the United States Government," General Hull, with a force of 2,500 tried soldiers, was on his way from Ohio through the Michigan forests to occupy Detroit and invade Canada.
And the excellent Chinaman took pride in the meal of welcome that he prepared. "Supper's now," said Drake to his men. "Sit anywhere you feel like. Don't mind whose chair you're taking and we'll keep our guns on." Thus they followed him, and sat. The boy took his customary perch at the head of the table, with Brock at his right. "I miss old Bolles," he told his foreman.
And I suspect that the artist Brock is also indifferent to Cowley: for has he not laid two other volumes handy on the shelf for the sure time when Cowley shall grow dull?
Then he went up to Loki and said, "I may not take your head, but I can do something with your lips that mock me." "What would you do, Dwarf?" asked Thor. "Sew Loki's lips together," said Brock, "so that he can do no more mischief with his talk. You Dwellers in Asgard cannot forbid me to do this. Down, Loki, on your knees before me."
It thus may be seen that Brock not only had been vilely imprisoned twice in the same night, but that he was very much in the dark, notwithstanding his attempt to make light of the situation. It occurred to him, at two o'clock, that pacing the floor in the agony of suspense was a very useless occupation. He would go to bed. Morning would bring relief and surcease to his troubled mind.
"I don't see but I can save up pretty much all I make," said Joe. "Certainly you can." In two days Joe, who was naturally quick and whose natural shrewdness was sharpened by his personal interest, mastered the details of the business, and felt that he could manage alone. "Mr. Brock," said he, "you promised to stay with me three days, but I won't insist upon the third day.
