Merwell will have no claim." The ranch owner's orders were carried out, and the next day a duplicate of the stockyard man's declaration, that the cattle were all of the Star Ranch brand, was delivered to Mr. Merwell. "Huh! needn't tell me!" he sniffed, after reading the paper. "I guess Harrison is playing into Endicott's hands."
Into the eyes of Mrs. Adair she looked earnestly for the glittering tear-veil, and upon her lips for the grief curve. To her surprise neither were there; but a cheerful light in the former and a gentle smile on the latter. "How are you this morning?" Mrs. Endicott's voice was low and sympathizing. "I feel a little stronger, to-day, thank you," answered Mrs. Adair, smiling as she spoke.
"He looked as if he wanted to eat somebody up," was Jessie's comment. "Oh, Dave, you must be careful!" "I wish his father's ranch wasn't so close to Mr. Endicott's," continued Dave's sister. "I declare, the more I think of it, the more nervous it makes me!" "Don't you worry, Laura, or you either, Jessie," answered Dave. "We'll take care of Link Merwell.
He pointed toward the winding trail. "Mebbe-so you hur' oop, you ketch." Without waiting for a reply the man slipped the revolver from his holster and pressed it into the astonished Endicott's hand, and catching him by the sleeve, hurried him to the rear of the stable where, tied to the fence of the corral, two horses stood saddled. Loosing one, the man passed him the bridle reins.
My conditions have nothing to do with what is past. If you do not prize my gift to you by all means throw it away." With a glance that would have broken Endicott's heart if he had not been too stubborn to look up, Michael slowly folded the check and put it back into his pocket. "I do prize it," he said, "and I prize it because you gave it to me. It meant and always will mean a great deal to me."
"The governor is a wise man a wise man, and a meek and moderate," said Endicott, setting his teeth grimly. "Nevertheless, I must do according to my own best judgment. There is neither man, woman nor child in New England but has a concern as dear as life in these tidings; and if John Endicott's voice be loud enough, man, woman and child shall hear them. Soldiers, wheel into a hollow square.
That had been one of Endicott's wishes that the boy should be like other boys. It meant something among a group of boys, most of whom were the sons of rich fathers, sent down to Florida on account of weak lungs or throats.
How soon can you honorably get away from where you are? Two weeks? Well, just wait a minute." Endicott called up a number on the telephone by his side, and there followed a conversation, brief, pointed, but in terms that Michael could barely follow. He gathered that a lawyer named Holt, a friend of Mr. Endicott's, was being asked to take him into his office to read law.
Endicott's deportation of the Browns and the report of the exclusiveness and exacting tests of membership in the colonial churches had early led the members of the Massachusetts Bay Company, resident in England, to fear that the emigrants had departed from their original intent and purpose.
Take your medicine now, and try to sleep until I come back from Stephen & Endicott's." "Do not go to-day." "I must. Those porcelain types were promised for a certain day, and they should be packed in time for the afternoon express going to Boston." "Beryl." "Well, mother?" "Come nearer to me. Give me your hand.
