He couldn't tell what it was, but he knew it was there. He heard one of the over-haired ones call her Ellabelle, and he committed the name to memory. "He also remembered the book she was reading. He come back with a copy he'd bought at Spokane and kept it on his bureau. Not that he read it much. It was harder to get into than 'Peck's Bad Boy, which was his favourite reading just then.
He just looked puzzled and kept on laughing, being bright to see I could play the game, too. Only he saw it wasn't so good a game as he'd thought. I wonder what made me think of that, now! I don't know. Come from yonder doorway we can see him as he dances. "And Ellabelle was saying gently to one and all, with her merry peal of laughter, 'Ah, yes once a Scotchman, always "My land!
"So that was settled reasonably, and Angus went on showing what to do with your mine instead of selling it to a shark, and the baby fatted up, being stall-fed, and Ellabelle got out into the world again, with more money than ever to spend, but fewer things to buy, because in Wallace she couldn't think of any more. Trust her, though! First the International Hotel wasn't good enough.
"Pretty soon another load of steers is ready my sakes, what scrubby runts we sent off the range in them days compared to now! and Angus pleads to go, so Lysander John makes a place for him and, coming back, here's Ellabelle handing the hot things along same as ever, with 'Lucile' at hand for idle moments. This time Angus again made certain there was something about her.
But a son my son why, look at the chest on him already, projecting outward like a clock shelf and you would name him but no matter! I was forehanded, thank God. Oh, you saw plainly that in case a girl ever come along Ellabelle would have the privilege of naming it anything in the world she wanted to that Angus thought suitable.
"A year later the new mansion was done, setting in the centre of sixty acres of well-manicured land as flat as a floor and naturally called Hillcrest. Angus asked me down for another visit. There had been grand doings to open the new house, and Ellabelle felt she was on the way to ruling things social with an iron hand if she was just careful and didn't overbet her cards.
Old Angus caught her and boxed her ears soundly. And again she drove them through the avenues of a colony of fine old families with money a little bit older, by a few days, and up the drive to their own door. "Ellabelle was peeking between the plush curtains on this occasion, for some heartless busybody during the day had told her that her son and husband was both renegades now.
Was he here this minute I make no doubt I'd go to the mat with him, unequal as we are in prowess. He dribbled off into vicious mutterings of what he'd say to the boy if he was to come to the door. "Then dear Ellabelle pipes up: 'And doesn't the dear boy say who was with him in this prank?
Angus had never been there except to pass from a Clyde liner to Jersey City, and they do say that when he heard the rates, exclusive of board, at the one Ellabelle had picked out from reading the papers, he timidly asked her if they hadn't ought to go to the other hotel. She told him there wasn't any other not for them.
'And I wish I had a silver dollar, he says, 'for every door like that one there that I've grained to resemble the natural wood so cunningly you'd never guess it hardly. "At that his break didn't faze any one but Ellabelle.
