Are you in on this with me?" Culver Rann's reply was as quick and sharp as a pistol shot. "I am." For another moment there was silence. Then Quade asked: "Any need of writin', Culver?" "No. There can't be a written agreement in this deal because it's dangerous. There won't be much said about old MacDonald. But questions, a good many of them, will be asked about this man Aldous.
NOT VOTING Messrs. Ancona, Delos R. Ashley, Culver, Driggs, Dumont, Glossbrenner, Goodyear, Henderson, Higby, Jones, Loan, McRuer, Newell, Radford, Trowbridge, and Winfield 16. Two-thirds having voted in the affirmative, the Speaker declared the joint resolution adopted. The strong vote by which this measure was passed, after so general an expression of dissent from it, excited some surprise.
Culver said, "Just you wait, folkses; this will be fun to remember some day." And Mrs. Culver called it "our school" and told Helen that they must both strive to know the best and easiest way of doing everything while they had to do all for themselves.
"I am glad you came," she began, their eyes meeting once more. He bowed. "Mr. Culver brought me your message." "I heard that you it was reported you were dead." "I was wounded; that was all, and soon took to the field again." The suspense that fell between them was oppressive. "You should have let your friends know," she said at length.
She turned her blue eyes upon him appealingly, and the young man was lost. "I'll take ten chances," he said. "Where does the raffle come off?" "Oh, it isn't a raffle, it's a foot-race. You must run with that Centipede cook." "I! Run a race!" exclaimed the young college man, aghast. "Yes, I've promised that you would. You see, this isn't like a college event, and Culver isn't here yet."
Perhaps you can use some of it between ballots to-morrow." Then, sharply to Culver: "You've telegraphed Mr. Dumont?" "Of course," said Culver. "And it took some time as I had to put the whole story into cipher." As Culver and Merriweather were seated, with the dinner before them which Culver did not touch, and which Merriweather ate placidly, Culver asked him whether there was "any hope at all."
"Better than nothing," suggested Culver, with a pitiful attempt to be hopeful. Merriweather shrugged his shoulders. "Let's get some supper," he said to Culver. Then to Larkin: "Well, Joe, you'll have to try promises. Will you keep this cash or shall I?" "You might as well keep it," replied Larkin, with a string of oaths. "It'd be ruination to pay one without paying all.
Harry was learning to become a good observer, and he watched them closely as they read. He saw a look of pleasure come on the face of every one, and presently Yancey beckoned to him. "These are fine assurances," said the orator, "and they have been brought by the worthy son of a worthy father. Colonel Kenton, Senator Culver and others, have no doubt that Kentucky will go out with us.
Minnie watched them from a side window in the big house but they did not see her. Minnie was pleased. She had heard what Mrs. Horton had said about some child coming to play with Rosanna. Minnie being wiser than Rosanna and grown up, knew very well that Mrs. Horton did not mean Helen Culver.
A few more mouthfuls and with his small, icy, mirthless laugh, he added: "I've got one something like her at home. I keep her there." Culver decided to spend the night at the hotel. He hung round the hotel office until two in the morning, expecting and dreading Dumont's reply to his telegram. But nothing came either for him or for Merriweather.
