"There was no time to be lost, and I felt sure that the comrades would back me. I now move that the local take charge of the meeting to-morrow evening, and that the two thousand circulars I have here be given out secretly to-night." "I second that motion," said Mrs. Barton. "It must be understood," added Everley, "that we can't expect help from the papers.
He reached for his coat. "Come," he said. "I vill take you to see Tom Everley." "Who is Tom Everley?" asked the boy. "He's a lawyer, and he vill tell you. He's the secretary of the local." "A Socialist!" exclaimed Samuel, startled. Again it was the Socialists! Everley sat in a little office in an out-of-the-way street.
"You must be careful how you give out those circulars," put in Johann. "They will nip you there, if they can." "That's all right," laughed Everley. "You trust the comrades for that! We know a printer we can rely on!" Samuel drew a deep breath of satisfaction. Here was a man who understood things, and took hold with conviction a man who was really willing to do something.
It was clear that the peace of both was endangered, perhaps gone; and that it had become the painful duty of friendship to awaken them from their too bewitching dream. We had made an excursion, on one sunny summer's day, as far as the Everley Hills.
Two of the most interesting of these flower-formed acquaintances, were my little friends Harry and Bessy Leigh. Every year I go to the Everley woods to gather wild lilies of the valley.

Also he noted that there were women present, and that one of them presided at the meeting. Everley made a speech, reading Samuel's manifesto, and telling how it had been given out. Then he called upon Samuel.
It was very disconcerting that he happened to be a Socialist! Everley took up a pencil and wrote the new announcement: PEOPLE OF LOCKMANVILLE! "Having made the discovery that members of the vestry of St. Matthew's Church had been bribing the city council, I demanded an investigation, and I was turned out of the church.
"You'd better wait until you've seen what the "Express" prints." "What do you mean?" asked the boy. But Everley would not explain he merely told Samuel to wait. He did not seem to be as much excited as he should have been. Samuel went home again. And later on in the afternoon, while Mrs.
And even as he spoke, the two saw the man stoop, and pick up a brick- bat, and fling it into the center of the crowd, where the police were massing. "Arrest that man!" shouted Everley indignantly, and leaped forward and plunged through the throng to reach him.
All the while that Everley was telling his story the boy was staring at her, and trying to straighten out the tangle of perplexity that was caused in his mind by the idea of her being a Socialist speaker! By and by the doctor came in, and the story had to be told yet again. They were so much interested and excited that they begged their visitors to remain to luncheon.
