"Charley, I can't bear to have him win!" "I am afraid he will, for anything I can do, Betty," said Norton. "Mr. Carrington, can't you shoot? do take Hannibal's rifle and beat him," she coaxed. "Don't be too sure that I can!" said Carrington, laughing. "But I know you can!" urged Betty.
The judge slipped a hand under the child's chin and tilted his face back so that he might look into it. For a long moment he studied closely those small features, then with a shake of the head he handed the rifle to Carrington, and without a word strode forward. Carrington had been regarding Hannibal with a quickened interest. "Hello!" he said, as the judge moved off.
"I'm dashed!" he muttered, "absolutely jiggered!" All the while he shook his head and slashed with his walking stick through the air. There was no doubt that Mr. Carrington was thoroughly and genuinely puzzled. Carrington's soliloquy was interrupted by the appearance of someone on the pavement ahead of him.
Carrington, that there is no proof and probably never will be any; but all the evidence, positive and negative, together with the question of motive, points to nobody else.

Dr. Lacey is my cousin." "Indeed!" said Mr. Miller.
From the bow Bunker had been observing this singular phenomenon. Suddenly he bent and roused Slosson, who had fallen asleep. The tavern-keeper sprang to his feet and Bunker pointed without speaking. "Mebby you can tell me what that light back yonder means?" cried Slosson, addressing himself to Carrington; as he spoke he snatched up his rifle.
"The same," replied Carrington. "By all means hear him speak. He is the stumbling-block of the new President, who is to be allowed no peace unless he makes terms with Ratcliffe; and so every one thinks that the Prairie Giant of Peonia will have the choice of the State or Treasury Department.
An interesting character, slightly mad, I think; heard of such people, but I never met them." This was evidently true, for the lot of Colonel Carrington had not been cast among the alleys of a spinning town where the heavens are blackened by factory smoke, and as the silver value changes in the East there is hunger among the operatives.
She could only watch their gestures, and draw her own inferences therefrom. "My carriage, Mr. Carrington!" repeated Honoria; "why don't you call the servants?"
