But when she saw a shadow darken the doorway of the room in which she was working she stood suddenly erect and with rapidly beating heart stole softly forward and peered around the door-jamb. Of course it could be no one but Hollis. He had taken the Coyote trail to-night. He would be surprised to see her. But it was she who was surprised.
"By Jove! Did it ever strike you, Mr. Taggett, that there is such a thing as being too clever?" "It has occurred to me recently." "Here is the house." Two sallow-skinned children, with wide, wistful black eyes, who were sitting on the stone step, shyly crowded themselves together against the door-jamb to make passage-way for Richard and Mr. Taggett.
Samson told how his mother had turned pallid, and stretched out her arm gropingly for support against the door-jamb. Then the man had found his voice with clumsy directness. "They've got him." The small boy had reached her in time to break her fall as she fainted, but, later, when they brought in the limp, unconscious man, she was awaiting them with regained composure.
She turned and fled, leaving the master of the ranch in the middle of the floor, bewildered, but a bit inclined to be happy. A moment later the plump face of Berkeley Fresno appeared cautiously around the door-jamb. He coughed again gravely. "I happened to be passing," said he. "You'll pardon me?" "This is the most thickly settled spot in New Mexico!"
I took the wee little man and placed him in the greenroom doorway, leaning with his back against the door-jamb. When he saw Mr. Daly in the distance, he simply was to turn his bright red patch toward us we would do the rest. It was a glorious success. We kept an eye on the picket, and when the red patch danger signal was shown, silence fell upon the room. Forfeits ceased for a long time.
Monsieur, if I was foolish and frightened and indiscreet, do not punish the lad for my wrong-doing." Mayenne was still holding out his hand for her. "I wish you sweet dreams, my cousin Lorance." "Monsieur," she cried, shrinking back till she stood against the door-jamb, "will you not let the boy go?"
They shook hands cordially at parting, and were still smiling their baby smiles in each other's faces when they did it. Paul leaned against the door-jamb, while the genial Harry and his wife followed his new-found friend to the carriage, where they were duly presented to its occupants said occupants promising to place Thespian Lodge upon their list. As the carriage whirled away, Miss.
He had heard the unsteady footsteps on the stair, but had not allowed them to disturb him. Now the prowler paused, steadied himself against the door-jamb, coughed, hiccoughed, hello'd in a whisper, and Moran looked up. "Well, Greene," said Dan, "what brings you abroad on a night like this?" "Business!" was the half-whispered reply, "Business, ol' man."
She was speechless with fright, but came on so recklessly that I began to suspect the cause of her determination. It was, in truth, behind her as my groom of the front yard soon let me know. Again the elfin face and the wiry pompadour leaned round the door-jamb "One more pupil, letty, dthe girl's modther."
Bolton knocked on the door-jamb of the room where Annie sat. "What is it, Mrs. Bolton?" "You in bed yet?" "No; I'm here by the window. What is it?" "Well, I don't know but what you'll think it's pretty late for callers, but Mr. Peck is down in the library. I guess he wants to speak with you about Idella. I told him he better see you."
