It was that very night, too, I sat with Cowan, who had duty in one of the sentry boxes, and we heard a voice calling softly under us. Fearing treachery, Cowan cried out for a sign. Then the answer came back loudly to open to a runner with a message from Colonel Clark to Captain Harrod.
Though my fellow-men might not suspect me, He would know that I was engaged in unlawful work. Darkness is no darkness to Him. Day and night to Him are both alike." "I don't let myself think about those sort of things," answered Eban Cowan, in an angry tone. "I ask you again, will you be a sensible fellow and unite with us as I have invited you?" "No, I will not," said Michael.
"He shore did, all right; I seen him just afterward," laughed Billy Williams, pressing close upon Hopalong's heels. "Howdy, Lucas; an' there's that ol' coyote, Wood Wright. How's everybody feeling?" "Where's the rest of you fellers?" inquired Cowan. "Stayed home to-night," replied Hopalong. "Got any loose money, you two?" asked Billy, grinning at Lucas and Wright.
"What do they call it a bar for, then?" asked the beery person; "a bar's a bar, isn't it?" "Yes, a bar's a bar, and you've got a lot to learn yet. What do they call the speaker 'the speaker' for?" "Because he can speak, of course," said the beery gentleman. "Shut up, man," said Cowan; "don't show your ignorance, and let me go on with the argument. It's not that at all."
Always the way in this house!" Mrs. Penniman relapsed. "We don't know the party. Don't know him from Adam. She don't even sign her right name." Wilbur left the house of mourning and went out to the barn, where all that day he worked at the Can, fretting it at last into a decent activity. Dave Cowan that night became gay and tasteless on hearing the news.
"Come into the office," he said; "come in." "Mr. Cowan," said Mrs. French, "there is a poor Galician woman and her children outside the door, the wife and children of the man who was condemned yesterday. The Judge told them they could see the prisoner to-day." "The hour for visitors," said Mr. Cowan, "is three in the afternoon." "Could you not let her in now?
At noon, when he told Mrs. Cowan about it, he said it was queer how that answer of his seemed to hit the teacher. She went away laughing, and he could hear her for fully a quarter of a mile kind of chuckling to herself. "Sorry, sir," said the man in the box-office of the Grand, "but the house has been sold out for two days now. The standing room has gone too."
She has already waited for hours at the door this morning, and on being refused went home broken-hearted. She does not understand our ways and is very timid. I wish you could let her in now while I am here." Mr. Cowan hesitated. "I should greatly like to oblige you, Mrs. French. You know that. Sit down, and I will see. Let that woman and her children in," he said to the guard.
It was after one of these informative intervals, succeeding a brilliantly topped drive by the lecturer, that Patricia Whipple, full in the flooding current of Merle's discourse, turned her speckled face aside and flagrantly winked a greenish eye at Wilbur Cowan; whereupon Wilbur Cowan winked his own left eye, that one being farthest from the speaker.
Possibly night had brought counsel to Jerry Cowan; or perhaps his mother had put him up to it. At all events, he announced to us that he couldn't bring the red-covered history to school, but if we wanted to buy the picture outright he would tear it out of the book and sell it to us for fifty cents. We talked the matter over in serious conclave in the orchard that evening.
