We have now only one other place left in which there is a chance of finding a trace of her. I undertake to make the necessary investigation at the Craig Fernie inn." "The Craig Fernie inn? Uncle! you have forgotten what I told you." "Wait a little, my dear. Miss Silvester herself has left the inn, I grant you. That trace must be picked up at once, in case of accidents. You don't seem to follow me?
Before she had said three words, Lady Lundie's impatience to reach the end which she had kept in view from the time when Mrs. Glenarm had left the house burst the bounds which had successfully restrained it thus far. Stopping the landlady without ceremony, she fairly forced the conversation to the subject of Anne Silvester's proceedings at the Craig Fernie inn.
"I am sorry to hear that Sir Patrick has guessed wrong," she resumed. "My friend was anxious to recover the letter when I last saw her; and I hoped to hear news of it from you. However, right or wrong, Sir Patrick has some reasons for wishing to see you and I take the opportunity of telling you so. He has left a letter to wait for you at the Craig Fernie inn."
And I do so long to sympathize! It's very hard. I think I shall go to Arnold." Sir Patrick took his niece's hand. "Stop a minute, Blanche. About Miss Silvester? Have you heard from her to-day?" "No. I am more unhappy about her than words can say." "Suppose somebody went to Craig Fernie and tried to find out the cause of Miss Silvester's silence?
The truth is, Sir Patrick, I was fairly forced, at Craig Fernie, into deceiving Blanche in what might seem to her a very unfeeling, and a very unpardonable way." "That sounds awkward! What do you mean?" "I'll try and tell you. You remember when you went to the inn to see Miss Silvester? Well, being there privately at the time, of course I was obliged to keep out of your way." "I see!
"I will be back directly," she said. "I have forgotten something up stairs." Sir Patrick went in. The dining-room door closed; and Blanche returned alone to the library. Now on one pretense, and now on another, she had, for three days past, faithfully fulfilled the engagement she had made at Craig Fernie to wait ten minutes after luncheon-time in the library, on the chance of seeing Anne.
Bishopriggs was insolent on being remonstrated with, and Miss Silvester encouraged him and so on. The result will be now Miss Silvester has gone that Bishopriggs will return to Craig Fernie before the autumn is over. We are sailing with wind and tide, my dear. Come, and learn to play whist." He rose to join the card-players. Blanche detained him. "You haven't told me one thing yet," she said.
I only want to explain how it was I came to go to Craig Fernie at all and I challenge Mr. Geoffrey Delamayn to deny it, if he can." His voice rose at the last words, and his eyes brightened with indignation as he looked at Geoffrey. Mr. Moy appealed to his learned friend.
Inchbare that the so-called husband of Anne Silvester had joined her at Craig Fernie on the day when she arrived at the inn, and had left her again the next morning. Anne had made her escape from Windygates on the occasion of the lawn-party that is to say, on the fourteenth of August.
Other strikes occurred in 1896 and 1897 at Leadville, in 1899 in the Coeur d'Alène mining district, and in 1901 at Rossland and Fernie, British Columbia, and also in the San Juan district in California.
