Elder Craigmile, how do you know that this testimony is not all made up between them? I will go home and ask Betty, and learn the truth." "And why does the young man come here under an assumed name, and when he is discovered, claim to be my son? The only claim he could make that could save him!
"He has forgotten to tell the court how he came by that scar above his temple, yet he makes the statement that he himself inflicted such a wound on the head of Richard Kildene the omission is remarkable in so clever an actor. Miss Ballard also admits having bound up that wound on the head of Richard Kildene, but still she claims that this man is her former fiancé, Peter Craigmile, Jr.
We're up to date, you see. 'Find out what people want and then give it to them. That's our motto." The young man leaned forward over the high railing that corralled the cashier in his pen apart from the public, smilingly oblivious of that dignitary's objections to an interview. "Expecting the return of Elder Craigmile soon?"
The young man neither moved nor spoke for a moment, and as he stood thus the sheriff took him by the arm, and roused him. "Richard Kildene, you are under arrest for the murder of your cousin, Peter Craigmile, Jr." With a quick, frantic movement, Harry King sprang back and thrust both men violently from him.
I've spent the greater part of my life here, so it's mostly the traditions I have they and the portraits." Thus it came about that owing to his desire to keep up the line of family portraits, Peter Craigmile engaged the artist to paint the picture of his gentle, sweet-faced wife.

Will you live here and take care of these things for me until my good aunt, Jean Craigmile, writes you? She'll tell you what to do with them and more than likely she'll take you under her wing anyway, work, man, work. The place is yours for the present perhaps for a good while, and you'll have a chance to make good.
Monday morning Elder Craigmile walked to the bank with the stubborn straightening of the knees at each step that always betokened irritation with him. Neither of the young men had appeared at breakfast, a matter peculiarly annoying to him.
And the ten thousand the Elder has set one side for the reward gives us twenty thousand we could not count on yesterday." "In all the history of this bank we never were in so tight a place. It's extraordinary, and quite unnecessary. That's a bright boy Sam Carter. I never thought of his putting such a construction on it when I admitted the fact that Mrs. Craigmile is to remain.
Robert closed and sealed the long letter he had been writing and tossed it on the table. "I want this mailed one week from to-day. Put it in your pocket so you won't lose it among the rubbish here. One week from to-day it must be mailed. It's to my great aunt, Jean Craigmile, who gave me the money to set up here the first year. I've paid that up last week with my last sou and with interest.
