I've been through the post-office department from the information window here to the postmaster-general in Washington, and nobody'll help me find Mortimer Morley." "Then let me introduce him; Algy, this is Mortimer Morley; in less private life Mr. Tim Farley, and his wife, Mrs. Farley, Mr. Spofford." "Well, I'll be Billy-be-dashed," exploded Mr. Spofford. "How did you work it out, Average?"
It would have been difficult for an outsider to understand the sudden plunge from decent comfort to actual poverty in this small mill town. Strange to say, it was upon the smaller families that the strain fell the worst in Farley, and upon men and women who had nobody to look to but themselves.
The leisurely chase led the round of the great gates first, and thence through the deserted and ruined coke yard to the foot of the huge slag dump, cold now from the long shut-down. Tom looked to see Farley turn back from the toe of the dump. There were no gates on that side of the yard, and consequently no guards.
When he had helped her out, she thanked him and gave him her hand quite in the old way; and he held it while he asked a single blunt question. "Tell me one thing more, Ardea: do you love Vincent Farley?" Her swift blush answered him, and he did not wait for her word. "That settles it; you needn't say it in so many words. Isn't it a hell of a world, Ardea?
Lennon began to fire as fast as he could take aim. His mark was the group of Apaches on the cliff foot. One fell and lay motionless. Another tumbled over, but rebounded to join in the dash of his companions down the slope. The bare ledges of the cliff foot offered no shelter. The nearest cover was the ruined Farley ranch hut, a hundred yards or more away, in the direction of the reservoir.
He put his horse into a sharp trot. Skirting the edge of the green, he rode down a rutted cart lane farm buildings and well-filled rickyards on the left and forded the shallow, brown stream which separates the parish of Farley from that of Sandyfield and the tithing of Brockhurst.
She put her immediate belongings into a bag and left the house. She had decided to go to Mrs. Earle's lodgings where she would be certain to find shelter and sympathy. Were she to go to her aunt's she would be exposed to importunity on her husband's behalf from Mrs. Farley, who was partial to Lewis. Her mind was entirely made up that there could be no question of reconciliation.
Avoiding a presentation, she proceeded at once to the "Rehearsal," and dismissed the carriage, assuring Farley that it was wrong to keep the horses out in such inclement weather; and as she was provided with "waterproof," overshoes, and umbrella, would walk home. The musical exercises were unusually tedious, the choruses were halting and uneven, and the repetition seemed endless.
Dave glanced at the pair in some astonishment, for it was weeks since he had been on speaking terms with either of them, and now both looked as though about to address him. "One moment gentlemen, all, if you please," called out Midshipman Farley. "Let no one leave just now. I have something to say that I wish to make as public as possible." Then, turning toward the astonished Darrin, Mr.
"Yes, and we're up the tree with the commandant," grunted Dalzell bitterly. "Yell again?" asked Farley. "No," retorted Dave, shaking his head. "We've seen the uselessness of asking help from outside. Let's supply our own help. Now, then altogether! Shoulder the door!" A savage assault they hurled upon the door. But they merely caused it to vibrate.
