Our flyers had lost no time upon landing in refitting, and when they saw the Clarion take off, they speeded up operations so fast that they were able to depart only fifteen minutes later. Almost straight eastward they headed, bearing just a little to the southward, so as to strike Singapore on a bee-line.
"I am Richard Graveling, M.P.," the young man announced, with a certain emphasis on those last two letters, "M.P. for Poplar East. We expected you at the Clarion to-night." "I had other business," Maraton remarked calmly. The young man appeared a trifle disconcerted. "I don't see what business you can have here till we've talked things out and laid our plans," he declared.
"Oh, out east of here," she answered evasively. Again she said to him once, "What I like about the 'Clarion' is that it's trying to do something for folks. That's all the religion I could ever get into my head: that human beings are mostly worth treating decently. That counts for more than all your laws and rules and church regulations. I don't like rules much," she added, twinkling up at him.
Again he saw the Colonel, tall and erect, the personification of manhood, indomitable will and courage, seated upon his horse at the head of his regiment, and heard the ringing, clarion notes of the bugle the signal for the charge. Yes, he would make one more supreme effort, and if that failed, well.... His cigar had burned low.
It was such an auspicious moment that Paul went and aroused John and Tom, so that they could see the Sky-Bird overtake and pass her adversary. Those two worthies grumbled a whole lot for a few moments, being half asleep, but when they grasped the situation and saw the Clarion just ahead, they were as much interested as anybody. Slowly, surely the Sky-Bird overtook the rival machine.
When it costs you more to print a thing than not to print it, it's bad business to print it." "I'm sorry, Dad, but the 'Clarion' is going to carry this to-morrow." "In case you're nervous about Mr. Pierce," put in McGuire Ellis with Machiavellian innuendo, "I can pass it on to him that you're in no way responsible for the 'Clarion's' policy." "Me, afraid of Elias M. Pierce?"
Without this blessed religious experience, the experience of those who are "called to be saints," this world would be a poor place to live in. I may perhaps be pardoned for adding that in my judgment even the earnest redemptive endeavours of men like the editor of the Clarion have indirectly been made possible by it.
To Sir George Grey, who was in the splendid crowd, came the wife of an eminent member of the Government, carrying to an old friend a woman's eager news of her own dinner. 'Oh, she whispered in that still small voice which rises a clarion note above a general buzz, 'oh, everything went off admirably, and Bob's delighted. But the soup was just a little cold.
Outside the subtle clarion of autumn's dying glory flamed in the torches of the maples and smoldered in the burgundy of the oaks. It trailed a veil of rose-ash and mystery along the slopes of the White Mountains, and inside the crumbling school-house the children droned sleepily over their books like prisoners in a lethargic mutiny.
The article was prominently displayed, and was to the effect that the Clarion disagreed very strongly with the attitude adopted by its contemporary, the Daily Independent, in regard to around-the-world routes.
