The first of these was to Theodore Weld as authority, that "Professor Wright" had been told at New York by Dr. Deming of Ashland, Ohio, a story that Mr. Dickinson of Pittsburg had been told by Southern planters and slave dealers on an Ohio River steamboat.
"The sons of liberty, who are again called upon to contend with the sheltered aliens, who have, by the courtesy of our country, been permitted to remain among us, will give their support to the following ticket: "William Deming, Melancton Smith, Marinus Willet, and Aaron Burr." The federalists prevailed by an overwhelming majority. Such were the political cognomens of the day.
More bullets hit the keg than the can, and Carlsen was often called upon as umpire. But the tin gradually became ragged and blotched where the steel-jacketed missiles tore through. Beale and Deming both had five clean, undisputed hits, tying for first prize. Beale offered to shoot it off with six more shells apiece, and Deming consented. "Can't be done," declared Carlsen. "Not right now, anyway.
I'll have to have you there to read it over to me; savvy?" "What do you think Carlsen's game is, if it goes through?" "He's fox enough to think up a dozen ways. Run the schooner ashore somewhere in the night. Wreck her. Git 'em in the boats with the gold. Inside of a week, Deming an' one or two others would have won it all.
She felt his anger go to a white heat, but the others seemed blissfully unaware of the fact. The arrival of coffee made a diversion. "You and Hugh may have the pergola, Honora. I'll take Mr. Deming into the garden." "I really ought to go in a few minutes, Elsie," said Honora. "What nonsense!" exclaimed Mrs. Shorter. "If it's bridge at the Playfairs', I'll telephone and get you out of it." "No "
He saw Lund heave, saw his red face bob up, mouth open, roaring once more, saw his leg come up in a tremendous kick that caught Deming's outleveling arm close to the elbow, saw the gleam of the gun as it streaked up and overboard, and Deming staggering back, clutching at his broken limb, cursing with the pain, to bring up against the rail and shout to the seamen: "Get into it, you damned cowards!
Harris squirming under the look of Deming, which was aped by the sudden scrutiny of all the hunters, found speech: "How in hell did you know I was here?" he demanded of Lund. "I ain't opened my mouth yit!" "That ain't the truth, Harris," replied Lund composedly. "It's allus open. But if you want to know, I smelled ye." There was a guffaw at the sally. Carlsen's voice stopped it.
Deming was getting upset, confused besides by his inadequate vocabulary. "I don't know in German, but in English we say Secretary of the Cinderella Cotillion Coterie." "Ah, you say Secretary. It is English." And an enlightened satisfaction furrowed the hardened face of the interlocutor. Then, abruptly to Deming's relief: "You may go." As Jim rose to leave he found a court flunkey at either elbow.
He saw that she felt more at home with him. Wasn't she at last becoming like a "pal"? Yet sometimes the doubtful impression assailed him that she was merely acting in a sort of gratefulness for his having brought the stylish and princely James Alexander Deming of Erie, Pay, to Villa Elsa. Gard was quite happy when his invitation to the ball was accepted.
Beyond Chicago, in the new country, the work of distribution grows less intricate, but the powers of endurance of the clerks are severely tested. On the line between Kansas City, Missouri, and Deming, New Mexico, a distance of 1,147 miles, the clerks ship for a long voyage five days on the outward trip and the same on the inward, sleeping and eating on the train.
