I think, after that, she will not only come back to me, but she will love me all the more for having known Frank Woods. No matter how badly a leg or an arm may be shattered, a quick, clean operation may cause the parts to grow together again, stronger than they were before. I think I win, Bupps." "Still, I believe you ought to carry a gun, in case he gets nasty."
He asked you to go out with him so he could try to borrow money of you, to save his rotten hide." "But, Bupps, he didn't ask me to go riding with him. I asked him to take me." "You asked him to take you?" I cried. "Don't talk so loud, Bupps! The people on the street will hear you." If there was anything she could have said that would have made me angrier than I already was, it was that.
"Why, Bupps, I was hunting the same proof that you were. I felt all along that Frank was guilty." "I'm a brute!" "You're a foolish boy," she said, twisting one of my few locks of hair. She snuggled closer. "Dearest of dearests, when are you going to stop teasing me?" I asked. "Never, Buppkins!" she replied. "I just discovered that it brings out your strong points."
"The papers gave a long account, but said it was an accident." "Zalnitch did it, Mary. At least, I'm almost sure it was he." I told her what I had learned during the morning, and as I talked, I finally touched on Frank Woods' strange words of the night before. "You don't think he had anything to do with it, do you, Bupps?" "No," I said.
I went over to him and almost hugged him. "Jim, you're such a peach dammit all " I heard a light step behind me. "Oh, Bupps!" laughed Mary, "if you'd only make love to me in that ardent fashion, I'd drag you to the altar by your few remaining hairs." I stood up, blushing in spite of myself. She can always make me feel that whatever I am doing is either stupid or foolish.
Mary's face was a study in suppressed nervousness. "Couldn't you go in there with me, Bupps?" she asked. "No, Mary, the grand jury does its work in secret." A clerk called the coroner and as he passed from the room, Robinson and Pickering came in. Robinson didn't even glance in my direction, but Pickering walked over quickly and shook hands.
"Of course I won't say anything," I said a little haughtily. "You have a perfect right to go with any one you care to." "It's Frank Woods." "Mary," I gasped, "do you mean to say you'd be seen with that man, after what he did to Jim?" "Now, Bupps, you promised not to say anything." "I know but this is different.
The end of the war and the wholesale cancellation of government contracts killed that. To cover his deficits, he borrowed from the Capitol Loan and Trust, and they are hunting for their money now." "How did you find all this out, Jim?" I demanded breathlessly. "From friends, good friends, Bupps.
Felderson that's wanted," Annie said with just a touch of asperity. "Yes, you two better stay here and amuse each other," said Jim. "Bupps, you carve!" "If Bupps carves, I'm sure to be amused," laughed Mary. Jim left, and I went around to his place. If there is one thing I do more badly than another, it is carving.
This is the day of days for me." There were several letters and telegrams lying on the table. Jim pointed exultantly to them and cried: "I've got him, Bupps! There is enough evidence there to send Woods up for twenty years. I wouldn't have used such underhand methods against any one else, against anything but a snake, but I had to win, I had to win!"
