When he could no longer see her he drew a gusty sigh and turned away. As he stood at the street entrance of the big station, waiting for Johnny Caruthers and the Green Imp, this is what he was saying to himself: "Red, you've made more than one woman unhappy, to say nothing of yourself, by making love to her because she was a beauty and your head swam.
It would have been a happy conceit on the part of Caruthers if he had started with his neck and broken that first; but since he has seen fit to choose a different policy and string himself out as long as possible, I do not think we ought to upbraid him for it if he has enjoyed it. We must do the best we can under the circumstances, and try not to feel exasperated at him.
We shall have any amount to say to each other." There was a scarcely noticeable pause before Travers answered: "I think it would be better if I went. I know a short cut, and could get there and back with Miss Caruthers in half an hour. Would you mind telling the Colonel what I have done?" "Certainly. In the meantime, I'll have a talk with the Rajah about this mining business.
A slight, daintily-clad figure had detached itself from a group of guests and came running toward them. Mrs. Carmichael's deeply lined, somewhat severe face lighted up. "That is my husband's ward, Lois Caruthers," she said. "She has been with me all her life, practically. As you are so fond of genuine India, you must let her show you over the place.
And, my God, Caruthers, you did look an ass when you missed that catch." Lovelace roared with laughter at the thought of it. "The way you juggled with it, and old Bull tearing his hair, oh, it was damned funny." "But, you see, 'the Bull' thinks games are everything, and, damn it all, they are the things that really matter. We each may have our own private interests. But games are the thing.
It was a note for one hundred dollars and appended were the names of John Caruthers and Samuel Lyman. "Understand, Sammy, that I don't want you to pay it; I simply want you to know that the feller has used your name wrong." "It is a forgery," said Lyman. "Yes, that's what I have been believing for some time past, but I didn't say anything about it to mother.
Caruthers has brought a root of mint and some cuttings of granadilla, which have been set out along the arbor. It seems absolutely impossible to get anything sent up to us from Apia. Lists and notes go flying, but, except from Krause the butcher, with no results.
"Never mind, your men put up a good fight; the luck was all on our side," said "the Bull" to Caruthers. "Let's see, it's Sunday to-morrow, isn't it? Well, on Monday, then, come round to the nets; you want to practise getting that left foot across. Look here, just get your bat and I'll toss you up one or two now at the nets!"
In this dilemma she turns to me for help, and supplicates for my guidance and instruction with a moving eloquence that would touch the heart of a statue. Hear her sad story: She says that when she was sixteen years old she met and loved, with all the devotion of a passionate nature, a young man from New Jersey, named Williamson Breckinridge Caruthers, who was some six years her senior.
But we were not so badly defeated; you got him off with one year, and he deserved two. To cut a thief's sentence in two ought to help us." "Among the other thieves," Lyman suggested. "Oh, yes," Caruthers spoke up cheerfully. "A lawyer's success depends largely upon his reputation among thieves." "Or at least among the men who intend to stretch the law.
