What became of Mr. Garcia afterward?" "I don't know that," said Frisbie ingenuously. "Only, I guess I shall find out when I go back. He is likely to be a little irritated, I'm afraid. But there are compensations, even in Pete: like most Mexicans, he can neither tell the truth nor shoot straight." Then again to Ford: "What is to be done about the Riley mix-up?" "Oh, the same old thing.
"I'm taking no chances," he said to Frisbie; and truly it seemed that all the hindrances had been carefully forestalled when he finally boarded the "01" and ordered his flagman to give Olson the signal.
Consequently they sat at the lower end of the chapel. Lord Vincent's height enabled him to look over the heads of most persons present. And he looked around for Frisbie. At length he found him. The condemned pew was immediately before the pulpit, facing the preacher. In it sat Frisbie, unfettered, but guarded by two turnkeys, one of whom sat on each side of him.
Isn't that splendid? Mr. Ashurst bought all the Croppys, and gave twenty-five cents a piece for them." "Let us see, let us see!" cried the little girls, precipitating themselves on the money. "Look here, now, Mary Frisbie no snatching!" protested Jack, "I haven't told you the best yet. Mr. Ashurst says we're such good farmers, that he'll give us work whenever we like to take it.
"Never mind," she said; "you can't tell the truth, either, with Mr. Ford looking on. But I shall find it out." Frisbie looked horrified. "You you certainly will, Miss Adair; if Mr. Colbrith insists upon having his car dragged over the range." Then, being quite willing to make his escape, he turned to his chief. "Is there anything else?
Some could give him no news at all; others could tell him something; but they differed in their accounts of Frisbie one saying that he had asked for the prison chaplain, who had gone in to him; a second that he was very contrite; a third that he was only terribly frightened; a fourth that he was as firm as a rock, declined to confess his guilt and persisted in declaring his innocence.
Ford a report not made by your engineers." Ford and Frisbie exchanged swift glances of intelligence. The presence of the strange engineering party in the canyon was sufficiently explained. At first sight the president's expedient seemed childishly puerile to Ford.
It was a rather sorry mount at that, and when he was dragging it out into the street, Jack Benson, the youngest member of his staff, rode up, that moment in from the tie-camp above Cow Mountain. "Don't dismount, Jack," he ordered curtly. "You're just in time to save me eight or ten miles, when the inches are worth dollars. Ride for the end-of-track and Frisbie on a dead run.
"You dare to seek my acquaintance! You dare to take me to church! Why if there was a policeman in sight, I'd report you, I'd send you to jail!" And actually she looked around for a policeman! But it is well known that there never is a policeman in sight when you look for one; so Miss Frisbie stamped her foot again and snorted in Peter's face. "Goodbye, Comrade Gudge!"
Whether Katie had been kidnaped and sent away; or immured in one of the underground dungeons of the castle; or murdered; or whether the perpetrators of either of these crimes were Lord Vincent and Faustina; or Lord Vincent and Frisbie; or Faustina and Frisbie; or finally, whether all three were implicated, she could not determine. And the whole question overwhelmed her with horror.
