He had been duly sworn in by the Colonel, and was justified in laying hands on the fugitive, although the wisdom of tackling a man, who was in such desperate straits, of his own accord and alone was questioned. Not once during the sharp cross examination, to which he was subjected by Emlie and the side-judge, was Aileen's name mentioned nor did he mention it to Father Honoré.
For the first time within the memory of Elmer Wiggins and Lawyer Emlie, who heard the Colonel's ejaculation, his words and tone proclaimed the fact that he was not in his seemingly unfailing good spirits. He was standing with the two at the door of the drug shop and watching the crowds of men gathered in groups along the main street.
"It looks to me as if some sort of a gun had been fired already," said Mr. Wiggins, pointing to the increasing crowd before the hall. "Something's up," said Emlie, startled at the sight of the gathering hundreds. "Then there's my place," said the Colonel the other two thought they heard him sigh and started up the street. Emlie turned to Mr. Wiggins.
He stepped into the trap that had been hitched in front of the drug store, and Emlie took the reins. Elmer Wiggins reached up his hand to the Colonel, who gripped it hard. "Yes, Elmer," he said in answer to the other's mute question, "this is one of the days when a man, who is a man, may wish he'd never been born "
The nurse told me she was one of the witnesses, she and Emlie and the doctor catch her letting me see any of her papers!" He reined into the road that led to the sheds. "I hope to God she'll do him justice this time," he spoke aloud, but evidently to himself. "How do you mean, Tave?" "I mean by giving him what's his by rights; that's what I mean." He spoke emphatically.
"I guess it'll be just as well not to spread the matter much among the men they might kick; besides he isn't, of course, a union man." "There's one thing in his favor," it was Emlie who spoke, "the management and the men have changed since it occurred, and there are very few except our home folks that would be apt to mention it and they can be trusted where Champney Googe is concerned."
I think it will satisfy him. "I have determined since talking with you, although the scheme has been long in my mind and I have spoken to Mr. Emlie about it, to apply the remainder of the estate for the benefit of the quarrymen, the stone-cutters, their families and, incidentally, the city of Flamsted.
"I'm glad you had it, mother." "Besides, this great industry is so many-sided that it keeps me interested in every new development in spite of myself." "By the way, mother, you wrote me that you had invested most of that twenty thousand from the quarry lands in bank stock, didn't you?" "Yes; Mr. Emlie is president now; he is considered safe.
Emlie and Wiggins remained a few minutes to explain as best they could the situation to the stranger guests, and the cause of the excitement. "I remember now hearing about this affair; I read it in the newspapers it must have been seven or eight years ago." "Six years and four months." Mr. Wiggins corrected him.
The influx of foreigners with their families was causing a shortage of houses and housing. Emlie proposed the establishment of a Loan and Mortgage Company to help out the newcomers. Poggi laid before them his plan for an Italian House to receive the unmarried men on their arrival.
