Her eyes were more obviously frightened and she whispered a message which was taken up to Mark. Mark lifted a haggard face to hear it, asked a question, bowed his head, and continued listening to the cross-examination of a man who said he had heard him threaten to kill Dolph the week before the murder down at Hagg's Mills.
"That's about it," said Tilda bravely, albeit with a wry little twist of her mouth. "But what'll you do?" "Oh, I dunno . . . We'll get along some'ow eh, 'Dolph? Fact is, I got a job to do, an' no time to lose worryin'. You just read that." Tilda produced and handed her scrap of paper to Mrs. Damper, who took it, unfolded it, and perused the writing slowly. "Goin' there?" she inquired at length.
"You've done this sort of thing before, I guess, Gage," said Reade quietly. "You bet I have. Find it all reg'lar, too, don't you?" "As nearly as I can tell, it is," agreed Tom. "And the claim is ours." "It's yours if you file the formal papers soon enough." "They'll be filed first thing tomorrow morning," grunted Dolph Gage. "Now, try a two-step off the dirt that goes with this claim."
"I'll have you killed when they get here with the guns!" cried Gage hoarsely. Tom continued to punish his opponent. Then Dolph, on regaining his feet, sought to run. Tom let him go a few steps, then bounded after him with the speed of the sprinter. Gage was caught by the shoulders, swung squarely around, and soundly pummelled. "Let up! Let up!" begged Gage. "I'm beaten. I admit it."
Percy secured the weapon. Escorting Shane to the camp, they soon had him safely trussed. Brittler was bellowing like a mad bull. "Now for Dolph and the skipper! Guess the three of us are good for 'em!" Leaving the four smugglers in the custody of Throppy and Filippo, the other boys proceeded down to the water. The shouting suddenly ceased. A rope splashed.
"Girls have been known to change their minds," he said. In spite of his sentimental regrets, Dolph laughed outright. "If you had been present at our interview, you wouldn't have predicted any change in this case. Olive was well, just as she always is, the soul of downright niceness; but she managed to leave me quite convinced once and for all that I might as well have wooed the woman in the moon.
"Yet I must be, if I don't tote a gun in a wild country," smiled Reade. "But to go back to the case of that good-for-nothing, Dolph Gage," Jim Ferrers resumed. "You advise me to forget that he shot at me?" "Oh, no, I don't," Tom retorted quietly. "But you don't have to go out and take your own revenge. There are laws in this state, aren't there?" "Of course." "And officers to execute the laws"
That same afternoon, Reed Opdyke was astounded to receive a long call from his recreant parson. "Where away?" With the question, Dolph Dennison flung himself into step at Olive Keltridge's side, one morning in late January.
At that moment Dolph Gage could be seen nailing a sheet of white paper to a board driven into the soil. "We've staked what you want, I reckon!" bellowed Gage laconically. "Staked it in due form, too, if you want to know." "I guess we've lost that claim," said Tom slowly. "Have we?" hissed Jim Ferrers. "Keep off this ground!" yelled Dolph Gage, snatching up his rifle.
Then, one day Prather is nothing, if not transparent he let out the fact that he was taking notes of me, for his next novel." "Of all the " Reed interrupted. "Not in my present ignominy, however; but as I must have been, he explained most considerately, in my prime. He must have had good confidence in his own imagination, though." "Of course," Dolph said serenely. "He's always banked on that.
