Leigh is conscious and able to be seen," the physician reported to Detective Colquitt. "Bring your prisoner inside at once." Then there came a dramatic surprise. Farmer Leigh, when confronted by Tag, positively denied that Tag was the one who had assaulted him. Mr. Leigh, it will be remembered, was a newcomer in the neighborhood.
"Hibbert and his kee -I mean, his friend -are still talking earnestly. I wonder if they lock poor Hibbert up part of the time?" Colquitt and young Mr. Hibbert had now turned in at the Eagle Hotel. Dave glanced at his watch, remarking: "Fellows, it's ten minutes after six. Those of you who want any supper will do well to hurry home."
Both were brave, but Colquitt was fiercely so. Lumpkin was mild, but determined. Unaggressive himself, the dignity and gentleness of his character repelled it in others. The consequence was, that he passed through life without strife with his fellow-man, while Colquitt was frequently in personal conflict with those as impetuous as himself.
"And I tell you, Mr. Hibbert, that he isn't the boy at all," retorted Colquitt, with even greater positiveness. More was said, but the two passed out of hearing. "Greg," declared Tom Reade solemnly, "it appears that you're the million-dollar kid!" "I know it," grinned young Holmes. "I am! Also it seems equally certain that I am not!" "What do you make of the whole business, fellows?"
The two gentlemen then ran onward when they met Mr. Park, who had got out of the carriage on seeing them coming towards the road in such a hurry. They bade him "make haste, for Grayson was badly wounded." They then got into their carriage and told the coachman to drive back to Liverpool. The other driver asserted he heard Captain Colquitt say, "by G , it has done me good."
During the first days of the session, however, the resolution to ratify was introduced in the House by Representative J. B. Jackson of Jones county and in the Senate by Senator T. H. Parker of Colquitt county, both of whom explained that their action was taken in order to kill it.
"He is the boy," Hibbert repeated after a moment's hesitation. "Where do you live, young man?" asked Colquitt. Greg supplied the name of his street and the number. "Name of your family physician?" went on the stranger. "Dr. Bentley." "Has he always been your family physician?" "Ever since I can remember," Greg declared. "Thank you," and Colquitt turned to leave.
Tom asked, turning to the other chums. "I've my own idea," laughed Dave Darrin. "Give it us, quickly!" begged Danny Grin. "My idea," Dave declared, "is that Hibbert is a rather harmless lunatic, yet one who has to be watched a bit." "Then what about Colquitt?" urged Hazelton. "Colquitt," guessed Darry, "is Hibbert's keeper."
Alonzo Hibbert, minus his four-quart hat, and wearing a flat straw hat instead, as well as light clothes and silk negligee shirt, came in advance of Tom Colquitt, the man from Blinders' detective agency. Still to the rear of them was a third man, slightly bent and looking somewhat old, though there were no gray streaks in his light brown hair. "How do you do, boys?" called Mr.
Colquitt and Fitzgerald are in the first battalion, and had come down here to stay with me and Bellew. On the 25th we made a boating party, for them to visit one of our detachments about fifteen miles from hence, at Grand River, south-east.
