"P.S. Just as I finished writing I had a note from Judge Featherton offering me the court messengership at five dollars a week. I am twenty-five. The place was held before by a white boy of fifteen. I declined. 'Southward Ho!" Davis was not without sympathy as he read his friend's letter in a city some distance away.
Who are you?" demanded Featherton, alias Simpson, the man who had run the automobile that carried Tom away. "Me. I'm a special deputy sheriff for this county," answered the balloonist simply. "Here's my badge," and, throwing back his coat, he displayed it.
"Yes," said Halliday, rising, "it is different. There's a different bottom at which black and white young men should begin, and by a logical sequence, a different top to which they should aspire. However, Mr. Featherton, I'll ask you to hold your offer in abeyance. If I can find nothing else, I'll ask you to speak to the head-waiter. Good-morning." "I'll do so with pleasure," said Mr.
We'll deal with these fellows!" "Oh, you will, eh?" shouted Tom, and remembering his football days he made a dive between Morse and Happy Harry for the man with the bag, which he guessed contained the stolen money. The lad made a good tackle, and grabbed Featherton about the legs. He went down in a heap, with Tom on top.
But anything I should take would be hard. It's just like this, Mr. Featherton," he went on, "I am willing to work and to work hard, and I am not looking for any snap." Mr. Featherton was so unresponsive to this outburst that Bert was ashamed of it the minute it left his lips.
Featherton's generosity since he saw it was actuated by self-interest alone, but that in no wise destroyed the real worth of the opportunity that was now given into his hands. Featherton, he believed, would make an excellent judge, and he was glad that in working for his nomination his convictions so aptly fell in with his inclinations.
They picked me up, carried me to a hospital and have operated on me. I wonder if they took off an arm or leg? I wonder what hospital I'm in? Why is it so dark and cold?" As he asked himself these questions his brain gradually cleared from the haze caused by the cowardly blow, and from the chloroform that had been administered by Featherton.
Appleson, if you and Simpson I mean Featherton will carry young Swift, I'll shove his wheel along to the auto, and we can put it and him in." The two men, first looking through the hole in the shed to make sure they were not observed, went out, carrying Tom, who was no light load.
They were the same four who had been involved in the former theft Appleson, Featherton, Morse and Burke. Were there five of them? He recalled the man who had been caught tampering with his boat the man who had tried to bid on the ARROW at the auction. Where was he? "Boreck didn't get what he was after," resumed Happy Harry, "and I'm going to spoil his game for him.
He smiled now and then, and his smile was like a flash of winter lightning, so cold and quick it was. It went as suddenly as it came, leaving the face as marbly cold and impassive as ever. He rose and extended his hand, "Why why ah Bert, how de do, how are you?" "Very well, I thank you, Mr. Featherton." "Hum, I'm glad to see you back, sit down. Going to stay with us, you think?"
