I'm out o' the game, an' I s'pose the Gen'ral jus' pinned this thing on my coat so I wouldn't take my discharge too much to heart." That was Joe Langley. Do you wonder they forgot he was once a milk-man, or that every resident of Dorfield swelled with pride at the very sight of him? Just one of "our soldier boys," just one of the boys the Liberty Girls were trying to assist.
Had she possessed sufficient money it might be best to ride past Dorfield and pay her fare to another station; but her funds were practically exhausted. Dorfield was a much bigger town than Beverly; it was quite a large city, indeed; perhaps she could escape the supervision of the detective, in some way, and by outwitting him find herself free to seek the Conant's home.
"Why don't you make your own discoveries?" retorted her confederate. Then, turning to O'Gorman, she continued: "So Hathaway's coming, is he? At last." "A little late, but according to program. How have you been getting along?" "Bored to death," asserted Nan. "Agatha has played the lady and I've done the dirty work. But tell me, why didn't you nab Hathaway at Dorfield?"
Colton approves it from a manufacturing standpoint, our company will secure an option for the sole right to manufacture it." "Mr. Kauffman has been in Dorfield several days," said Josie. "Why did he not show you the projectile before?" "I have been out of town," explained the manager. "I returned this afternoon, especially for this interview, and made the appointment for this evening.
Then he gave a little, forced laugh and said: "I'm obliged to make a trip to Washington, on business, and I thought perhaps I'd pick up the ah the box, there, and ship to Dorfield. The old desk isn't valuable, except except that it's ah antique and unusual. I'd like to get it back and I'll return to you the money you paid for it, and the freight charges.
Conant decided to take the Friday morning train back to Dorfield, saying it would not be possible for him to remain at the Lodge over Sunday, because important business might require his presence in town. "This demise of Mrs. Burrows," he said confidentially to his wife in the privacy of their room, "may have far-reaching results and turn the whole current of Colonel Weatherby's life."
Such an act on his part would prove that her suspicions were correct, in which case she would lead him straight to her grandfather, whom she would thus deliver into the power of his merciless enemies. No; that would not do, at all. If the man followed her from the train at Dorfield she dared not go to Peter Conant's house. Where, then, COULD she go?
The colonel and Jason Jones, being consulted, promised the use of the kitchen and highly approved the plan of the Liberty Girls. Mrs. Manton was telegraphed to come to Dorfield and the cookery class was soon formed.
He volunteered to drill and make soldiers of them, and so well did he perform this task perhaps because they admired him and were proud of their drill-master that when the last big lot of selected draft men marched away, the entire six companies of Liberty Girls marched with them to the train bands playing and banners flying and it was conceded to be one of the greatest days Dorfield had ever known, because everyone cheered until hoarse.
The detective's friendliness, so frankly expressed, pleased her, in a way, yet she realized his vigilance would not be relaxed and that he was still determined, through her, to discover where Gran'pa Jim was hidden. An uncomfortable degree of danger had already been incurred by her unconsciously leading the officer to Dorfield.
