Keating?" he exclaimed. "It's impossible for me to sit still while those men die?" "I don't know about your sitting still," said the other. "All I know is that all your moving about isn't going to do them any good." Hal turned to Edstrom and MacKellar. "Gentlemen," he said, "listen to me for a minute."
As a matter of fact, all that Mr. Gilgan was saying was decidedly true. A henchman of young MacDonald's who was beginning to learn to play politics an alderman by the name of Klemm had been scheduled as a kind of field-marshal, and it was MacDonald not Gilgan, Tiernan, Kerrigan, or Edstrom who was to round up the recalcitrant aldermen, telling them their duty.
Tiernan, Kerrigan, and Edstrom were friendly as yet; but they were already making extravagant demands; and the reformers those who had been led by the newspapers to believe that Cowperwood was a scoundrel and all his works vile were demanding that a strictly moral programme be adhered to in all the doings of council, and that no jobs, contracts, or deals of any kind be entered into without the full knowledge of the newspapers and of the public.
That was all there was to the story except that Edstrom had refrained from sending to MacKellar for help, because he had felt sure they were all working to get the mine open, and he did not feel he had the right to put his troubles upon them. Hal listened to the old man's feeble statements, and there came back to him a surge of that fury which his North Valley experience had generated in him.
Hal pressed the big hand; but then suddenly, remembering his brother stalking solemnly in the rear, he relinquished the clasp, and failed to say all the fine things he had in his mind. He called himself a rebel, but not enough to be sentimental before Edward! They came to the house where John Edstrom was staying. The labouring man's wife opened the door.
Brother Edstrom of the Y. M. C. A. speaks "Let us all heartily join in singing, 'Pass me not, O gentle Savior, Gospel Hymns No. 27." How they sing! and what beautiful voices some of the prisoners have! "Brother St. John, will you lead in prayer?" Words and music by Mrs. Oh, help me live near thee, my Savior, Oh, keep thou me 2. I love thee, my Fa ther, and Sav ior, For what thou hast
During this long period of waiting, Hal had talks with members of his check-weighman group. They told what had happened while he was in jail, and this reminded him of something which had been driven from his mind by the explosion. Poor old John Edstrom was down in Pedro, perhaps in dire need. Hal went to the old Swede's cabin that night, climbed through a window, and dug up the buried money.
He was one of the bunch." "No," said Hal, "you're mistaken. Edstrom has a different philosophy. But others did, I've no doubt. And since I've been here, I can understand their point of view entirely. When they set fire to the buildings, it was because they thought you and Alec Stone might be inside." The marshal did not smile.
