It was evident that the Canibas result had stiffened backbones in many quarters, but more new men than usual were coming forward with nominations in their fists. Many of these men were not telling any one how they felt on the big questions that were agitating the State. Some announced themselves with the usual grandiloquent generalities.
"Why, Harlan Thornton went away with him Thelismer's grandson! Some one told me who saw them in the carriage together. What do you mean by Canibas moose?" "Can't you see that I'm all stirred up by the excitement of this convention?" he demanded. "I don't know what I'm saying. I'll explain to you later, Lucretia." "I think you'd better. Where did General Waymouth go?" "To the hotel, I suppose."
I like it frosted. But I'll be d d if I want it all frosting. Run up into the hall. Come along, Luke. We'll miss the text if we don't get in." The last of the stragglers followed them up the stairs. The earlier arrivals had pushed the settees of the Fort Canibas town hall to one side. They were piled against an end wall. There were not enough of them to furnish seats for that mob.
To 2 savages come from the river of Medoctic to bring some letters of Father Simon to Mon. de Villebon, flour, 12 lbs.; tobacco, 8 oz. "July 10, 1696. M. Thury, missionary, having arrived with Taxous, chief of the Canibas and other savages from Pentagouet; brandy, 1 gallon; tobacco, 2 lbs."
The day was full of cares, duties, annoyances, and the nagging pleadings of persistent petitioners. Harlan Thornton, now representative-elect from the Fort Canibas district, became still more indispensable in General Waymouth's daily life. Duties at a desk had worn upon him. This everlasting mingling with men was more to his taste. He had natural adaptability. He was a good judge of human nature.
If each other's company makes you so impolite, I'll be compelled to separate you. Come, Mr. Harlan Thornton, baron of Fort Canibas, you have volunteered to see me safely home." He offered his arm, and they followed Mrs. Presson, who had already started for the carriage. He rode with them to the station, flushed and silent, and the girl studied his face covertly and with some curiosity.
"I'll go back and let the old woods talk to me," he whispered to himself. Then he tore up the letter he had written to Clare Kavanagh. It had occurred to him that he could tell it to her so much better. So when he came to Fort Canibas in the evening of the second day he mounted his horse and rode across the big bridge.
They might have hit him with that whole stockin'ful of mud they've been collectin', and he wouldn't have staggered. But when they go to hit the young feller, there, with it, he's down and out." "Eh!" barked the magnate of Canibas, catching the last words. "I am? Not by a " He broke off, ashamed of wasting effort in mere boasts.
Then he out with the story that he picked up when he was in Fort Canibas. I do not listen to gossip, Mr. Thornton, but it is plain that Spinney has facts. I have inquired in a prudent way of other men from your section. He has the story, but what they say confirms it." Harlan listened, his blank amazement depriving him of speech. "I've said enough now, haven't I?" asked Linton, significantly.
"I'll endure no more of this foolery, Luke! If you propose to make a plaything of your own wife from now on " "I'm telling you the truth. General Waymouth hurried out of the hall before I could get to him. That devilish Canibas bull moose picked him up, like he's been picking up " But the astonishment in his wife's eyes stopped him. He was revealing too much of his secret.
