She saw him and stopped in the vestibule, quaking a little as she felt she must always quake until the impassable chasm of wedlock with another should be safely opened between them. "Just a moment," he said abruptly. "There was a time when I said I would spare Vincent Farley and his kin for your sake. Do you remember it?" She bowed her head without speaking. Her lips were dry.
Now, to be sure, I came near to having words with Farley last night, but that wouldn't be the basis for any action by the fourth class. That, if anything, would be wholly a personal matter. Then what am I accused of doing? It must be some fierce sort of lie when the fellows talk of taking it up as a class matter." For ten minutes more Dave puzzled and pondered over the problem.
Why Mr. Duxbury Farley spared the iron-master in the freezing-out process was an unsolved riddle to many. But there were reasons. For one, there was the lease of the coal lands, renewable year by year this was Caleb's own honest provision inserted in the contract for the Major's protection and renewable only by the Major's friend.
"Where's Dalzell?" inquired Farley, after having closed the door behind him. "Until this moment I thought that he was in your room." "I haven't seen him all evening," Farley responded.

In those days a story was set afloat which, though false, gave voice to the popular notion.

It's it's more than two whole months since since Vincent Farley broke the engagement, and " He held her at arm's length to look at her, but she hid her face in her hands.
"Cold feet!" grinned Dan. "Not exactly," Farley answered, with a slight flush. "But it's a big thing to play on the Navy's fighting eleven. It seems almost too big a responsibility for any but a demi-god." "Demi-gods don't play football," jeered Dan. "They're nothing but idols, anyway, and they're two thousand years out of date. What we want on the Navy line is real human flesh and blood."
At breakfast they discussed the robbery after their guests had left the house. "I don't understand what became of the money," said Ted. "It looks to me like one of those mysterious robberies, and the capture of Farley puts it up to the Riley and Creviss gang.
