Yes, of course we must." "Well, now, let's just look over the matter once more," said Eddring. "Let us suppose that Decherd has stumbled on this knowledge of the unclaimed Loisson estate. He works every possible string to get hold of it. He tries to get tax title and that is where he uncovers his own hand. Meanwhile, he tries the still safer plan of finding a legal heir.
He knows that all his hope in this lawsuit was gone long ago. He's not a fool. But he is going to hunt me up some day. He's going to find me; and then he's going to kill me. He's killed Delphine, and he's going to kill me." The two white hands, trembling now as though with a palsy, fell on the table in front of her. Her eyes, not seeing Eddring, gazed staring straight in front of her.
"This was business, and you made it personal." "Oh, business!" said Blount. "Sir," said John Eddring, "the world never understands when a man has to choose between being a business man and a gentleman. It does not always come to just that, but you. see, a man has to do what he is paid to do. Can't you see it is a matter of duty? I can't afford to be a gentleman "
Oh, Lady, girl oh, is there no one, is there no one in all the world?" John Eddring took her firmly by the shoulders, and after a time half- quieted her.

Eddring, out of friendship, took his case, and promptly lost it, it being the argument of the prosecuting attorney that "we can't have shooting here on the streets by niggers."

Ellison might tell us, if we could find her, or if we cared to find her." "No, you don't," said Blount. "That woman stays off the map. The only one of the three we want to find is Miss Lady." "Yes," said Eddring, "if we had Miss Lady, and if we could get Mrs.

"What do you mean?" growled the clerk to the hurried arrivals, as the Queen slowly turned out into the stream. "Did a couple come aboard just now, a few minutes ahead of us?" cried Eddring, taking him by the shoulder in his excitement. "Why, yes. But they didn't come in such a hurry as you do. Where are you going?" "Wait," said Eddring. "What was the girl like?
