And now I suppose he'll get all the profit of it!" Fairchilds could not quite keep down the rising indignation in his voice. "No," said Tillie, quietly, though the color burned in her face. "Walter! I'm going to refuse to give father my salary if I am elected to a school. I mean to save my money to go to the Normal where Miss Margaret is."
Vane is so taken up, and no wonder, with her husband, and Rosalys is as busy as she can be, helping and seeing to everything. There came a little voice from the other side of the table: the Fairchilds were at tea. 'Mother, do you think I might go to see her? it asked. 'I'd be very quiet. 'I'll ask, Mrs. Fairchild answered.
"My girl goes home along with me!" retorted the furious Getz. "And YOU you 'll lose your job at next Board Meetin', Saturday night! So you might as well pack your trunk! Here!" He laid his hand on Tillie's arm, but Fairchilds drew her to him and held his arm about her waist, while Absalom, darkly scowling, stood uncertainly by. "Leave her with me. I must talk with her. MUST, I say. Do you hear me?
We only know that the ill-fated train was destroyed, the members murdered and their wagons burned. Scarface Charley told John Fairchilds that when he was a little boy the Indians killed a great many white people at this point. The charred remains of the wagons and moldering bones of the owners were yet visible when I visited the spot during the Modoc war.
"Now, come, Doc," protested Fairchilds, disgusted, "you know better you know that to almost any sort of a woman marriage means something more than getting herself 'well fixed, as you put it. And to a woman like Tillie!" "Yes yes I guess," answered the doctor, pulling briskly at his pipe. "It's the same with a male he mostly looks to somepin besides a good housekeeper.
The order of march and battle was as follows: The command of Fairchilds and Dorris occupied the extreme left along the lake shore; Mason's infantry battalion, with mountain howitzers packed, joined Fairchild's right; Captain Kelley's command occupied the center with his left resting on Mason's right; Captain Applegate connected with Kelley's right and Perry's left, who occupied the extreme left wing; while Donald McKay's Indians formed a skirmish line in advance.
Abe Wackernagel, of the New Canaan hotel, was very fond, in the years that followed, of bragging to his transient guests of his niece who was the wife of "such a Millersville Normal perfessor Perfessor Fairchilds." And Mr. Jake Getz was scarcely less given to referring to his daughter "where is married to such a perfessor at the Normal." "But what do I get out of it?" he was wont ruefully to add.
Then the teacher he tried him with such a Algebry. But Absalom he'd get so mixed up! he couldn't keep them x's spotted." "I have a method," Mr. Fairchilds began, "which I trust " It was very hard to have to obey. She longed so to stay till Fairchilds should come safely through his fiery ordeal.
"It is a very becoming garb, certainly," Fairchilds smiled, gazing down upon the fair young girl with a puzzled look in his own face, for he recognized, not only in her delicate features, and in the light of her beautiful eyes, but also in her speech, a something that set her apart from the rest of this household. Tillie colored deeply at his words, and the doctor laughed outright. "By gum!
In the first place, Fairchilds was "an UNbeliever," and therefore his influence was baneful; he was Jacob Getz's enemy, and therefore no fit person to be writing friendly letters to his daughter; he asked Tillie, in his letter, to write to him, and this would involve the buying of stationery and wasting of time that might be better spent; and finally, he and Tillie, as he painfully gathered from the letter, were "making up" to a degree that might end in her wanting to marry the fellow.
