The young man struggled a moment for self-mastery, rose with a sigh and a stern look, and put on his hat. "It is about bail?" said he, in a whisper. "Yes," Darrel answered. Trove hurried away. A woman met him at the door, within which Polly boarded. "Is she better?" Trove asked. "Yes; but has asked me to say that she does not wish to see you."
Here comes a detective who says under oath that one night he saw you come out of your lodgings, about eleven o'clock, and walk to the middle of the bridge and throw something into the water. Next morning bar and shot were found. As nearly as he could make out they lay directly under the place where you halted." Darrel sat looking thoughtfully at the speaker.
"Once upon a time," said Darrel, as he held the hand of the player, "a weary traveller came to the gate o' Heaven, seeking entrance. "'What hast thou in thy heart? said the good St. Peter. "'The record o' great suffering an' many prayers, said the poor man. 'I pray thee now, give me the happiness o' Heaven. "'Good man, we have none to spare, said the keeper.
A faint light entered the place from between iron bars that spanned a narrow window, far above the head of little Nell Darrel. The only furniture in this cellar was a straw cot, on which Nell had been laid, and a low stool. The girl felt terribly sick and weak when she came to realize her condition.
Besides, Mrs. Darrel and Eddy are talking to her, Nora. Are you sure that big dog is safe? Did you hear him growl? It was an awfully fierce-sounding growl! And, Nora, I think one of the snakes is loose. There were six in the box and I can count only five yes, Lady Margaret, the tea is quite right. It is delicious."
The change had been made at a way station, without causing remark among the passengers, the most of whom were not through for the great city. Once New York whelmed them, the scheming villain and poor Nell would be lost forever to the man-tracker of the West. There was a suspicion in the brain of Dyke Darrel that he scarcely dared whisper to his own consciousness.
Even yet some of the boy's relatives and friends doubted if he were possessed. Not so Darrel. He at once undertook to pray and fast for the boy. According to his own account his efforts were singularly blessed. At all events the boy gradually improved and Darrel claimed the credit.
They bowed ceremoniously to Lys as we rode up. "The trail is horrible it is a river," said the mayor in his squeaky voice. "Monsieur Darrel, I think perhaps madame would scarcely care to come any nearer." Lys drew bridle and looked at me. "It is horrible!" said Durand, walking up beside me; "it looks as though a bleeding regiment had passed this way.
"It isn't pleasant, to say the least, having matters turn out in this way. I wish to see you in regard to this Dyke Darrel." "I'm all ears, pard." "He must never see Chicago again." "Wal?" "I want you to see to it, Nick." "I don't know about that," muttered the grosser villain. "I've shed 'bout enough blood, I reckin." "It is for your own safety that I speak, Nick.
Anyhow, you will have to use it with Natasha, for in the Circle she has no other name, and to call her Miss Darrel there would be to produce something like an earthquake." "Oh, in that case, I daresay I shall be able to avoid the calamity, though there will seem to be a presumption about it that will not make me very comfortable at first." "Too much like addressing one's sweetheart, eh?"
