Hello, Fred" this to Dawson, who had at that moment let himself in through the deserted outer office "we were just talking about your boss, and wondering how he got here from Copah on Two-three without my seeing him." "He didn't come from Copah," said the draftsman briefly. "He came in with me from the west, on the wrecking-train.
But there was a message, all right, and with your name signed to it. Callahan saw it on Dix's hook this morning before the boy came down. It was in code, your private code." "Call up the Copah offices and have it repeated back," ordered the superintendent. "Let's find out what somebody has been signing my name to." McCloskey shook his grizzled head.
Brissac, here, over in the '01' I came across the mountain in North's car, you know dosing him with things out of Doctor Van Bruce's traveling case, and trying to get him in shape to show me the way to Copah.
The folkses are playing dummy whist in the Nadia; and Gridley is holding the fort at the shops with the toughest-looking lot of myrmidons you ever laid your eyes on." Once again Lidgerwood was making tiny squares on his desk blotter. "I'm thankful that the news of the strike got to Copah in time to bring Gridley over on 203," he said. Benson's boyish eyes opened to their widest angle.
But the bronco from the Copah stable, with the flash and crash of the pistol-shot to madden it, took the bit between its teeth and bolted safely through the shallows of the stream crossing and up to the level of the railroad yard beyond, but swerving aside at the first of the car shadows to fling its rider out of the saddle. Ford gathered himself quickly and rolled under a car.
I can give you the exact date when we reach Copah, though you will permit me to say that it is none of your business." Mr. Colbrith exploded like a hastily fired bomb. "I propose to make it some of my business! Was it before or after your purchase here that you decided upon the change of route? Answer me that, Mr. Ford!" Ford wheeled his bronchos and closed the shouting gap. "Sit down, Mr.
What time the other personality, the elemental barbarian, yawned, stretched itself, and came awake, the unspeakable dens of the Copah lower quarter engulfed him until the nether-man had gorged himself on degradation. To his men, Gridley was a tyrant, exacting, but just; ruling them, as the men of the desert could only be ruled, with the mailed fist.
Being the practical as well as the nominal head of the Red Butte line, and the only official with complete authority west of Copah, his daily mail was always heavy, and during his frequent absences the accumulations stored up work for every spare hour he could devote to it.
This was one of Ford's peg-drivings for the day; and another was timed for the moment of outsetting. For conveyances for the party there were the two double-seated buckboards used on the canyon trip the previous day, and one other with a single seat; but there were only two drivers, the third man, who had brought the single-seated rig from Copah, having been prevailed upon by Ford to disappear.
"But tell me how it happened?" "I don't know unless the devil planned it," said Ford bitterly. "I bought the mine one day last summer when I was in Copah, without premeditation, without seeing it without knowing where it was situated, just as I have told you. Some little time afterward, Frisbie came to me with the plan for the change of route. I had considered it before, but had made no estimates.
