"Beats a holler log in a snowstorm," he replied, looking about the room. "Must have shipped all this truck from the States, it never was built out here it would take me a couple of months to earn a whole outfit like this, wouldn't it?" She remained serious. "Mose, I want to tell you " "Wait a minute," he interrupted; "let's start fair. My name is Harold Excell, and I'm going to call you Mrs.
Excell sat beside Lawyer Brown, motionless as a statue, save when now and again he leaned forward to whisper a suggestion. He did not look at his son, and Harold seldom looked at him. Jack Burns sat as near the prisoner as the sheriff would permit, and his homely, good face, and the face of the judge were to Harold the only spots of light in the otherwise dark room.
The lonely youth walked back to his hotel with manner so changed his mountain companions would have marveled at it. A visit which had seemed so simple on the Arickaree became each moment more complicated in civilization. The refined young minister with the brown pointed beard, so kindly and thoughtful and wholesome of manner, was a new sort of man to such as Harold Excell.
"I got into rough gangs out there, but I reckon they got as good as they sent." "I suppose the newspapers have greatly exaggerated about your conflicts?" Harold was a little disposed to shock his father. "Oh, yes, I don't think I really killed as many men as they tell about; I don't know that I killed any." "I hope you did not lightly resort to the use of deadly weapons," said Mr. Excell sadly.
No one will go further than I in admiration of the Reverend Mr. Excell, but the fact of the son's lawless life can not be gainsaid." Slocum repeated his story on the stand and was unshaken by Bradley's cross-examination. Suddenly the defense said: "Stand, please." Slocum arose a powerful, full-grown man. Bradley nodded at Harold. "Stand also." "I object," shrieked the prosecution.
Burns," she replied, quite as formally as he. He fell into step with her and walked on. "You know my chum " he began, breathing hard, "my chum, Harry Excell, is in jail. You see, he had a fight with a great big chap, Clint Slocum, and Clint struck Harry with a whip.
Thursday evening came in spite of what the girls must have regarded as an interminably dragging day. It was easy to differentiate their attitudes toward this party. Sally wanted to look beautiful, to excell all the young ladies who were to attend, to attach to her train all the young men, and have them fighting to dance with her.
Blodget's not advancing more than precisely 1/4 part of the outsets is what I never before understood; I am sure by his situation that he can do but a little part of the Business and therefore think he ought to excell in his proportion of Supplys rather than to fall short."
Excell ran down to the kitchen where Harold crouched and said: "Harold, dear, you'd better go out to Mr. Burns' right away." Harold understood perfectly what she meant and fled. For hours neither Mrs. Excell nor Maud spoke above a whisper. When the minister came down to tea he made no comment on Harry's absence. He had worn out his white-hot rage, but was not yet in full control of himself.
"My love is fixt I will not range, I like my choice I will not change"; while on the other is engraved: "Witt, wealth, and beauty all doe well But constant love doth fair excell. 1676." The early uses of knives in association with religious rites are interesting, as, for instance, the golden knife with which the old Druids cut the mistletoe with pomp and much mystic ceremony.
