The baby's blue eyes looked up into her own in wonder, but her soft cooing and the clasp of her little soft, warm fingers could not comfort Dorothy. After luncheon she was called into Mrs. Garner's room. "I am not feeling well," she said, motioning Dorothy to a seat. "I should like you to read to me until I fall asleep. Take any of the books from the book-case in the library. I have no choice."
It takes bribery for granted. Men meet on the street and ask what the price of votes is this morning. Everybody feels prosperous." "I heard that a chambermaid at the Quartzite Hotel found seven thousand dollars in big bills pinned to the bottom of a mattress in Garner's room yesterday. He didn't dare bank it, of course." "Poor devil!
The patients submitted like lambs, only Walter grumbled a little, but at last confessed to a headache and sudden weariness. Julia Clifford took special charge of Grace Hope, the doctor of William Hope, and Colonel Clifford sat by Walter, congratulating, soothing, and encouraging him, until he began to doze. Doctor Garner's estimate of his patients proved correct.
With trembling hands Dorothy clasped the necklace around Miss Staples' firm white throat. "They are very beautiful don't you think so?" she asked, looking at Dorothy with the old-time burst of enthusiasm which she remembered so well. "Yes," returned Dorothy, in a low voice. "They are Mr. Garner's gift to me. To-day is my birthday," she went on, "and this is Mr. Garner's gift beautiful, is it not?"
Garner's boudoir one night, when I heard the sound of voices. "Playfully I drew back, for I had recognized Jack's voice. I had a little gift for him, and I was hesitating a moment as to whether I should take it in and lay it on his lap, or wait until the next morning and give it to him in the library.
"'Twould jest make it yeller 'n what 'tis now. Won't I be a pretty sight when I puts on long pants with these here yaller curls stuck on topper my head? I'd 'nuther sight ruther be bal'headed." "Bennie Dick's got 'bout the kinkiest head they is." Bennie Dick was the two-year-old baby of Mrs. Garner's cook, Sarah Jane. "It sho' is," replied Billy.
In view of the author's demand to have at least his sincere love of truth recognized, we can but throw up our hands out of sheer astonishment. With a wonderful elasticity he passes over the differences. It is so simply monstrous, that even Garner's famous book of ape-speech, cannot surpass it.
I have said nothing about Professor R. L. Garner's researches into the language of apes, because they have not yet been so far verified and accepted as to make it safe to rely upon them; but when he lays it down that all voluntary sounds are the products of thought, and that, if they convey a meaning to another, they perform the functions of human speech, he says what I believe will commend itself to any unsophisticated mind.
When we once become convinced who you are, and your motive for this crime, then we will know how to proceed against you. In the first place, I order you to remove both the wig and glasses which we have discovered that you are wearing. Your identity is the first step in this matter." Like a flash Dorothy flung herself at Jack Garner's feet.
The golden beams of the early summer sun were leaping from top to top of the wonderful Badland Buttes, when an old Coyote might have been seen trotting homeward along the Garner's Creek Trail with a Rabbit in her jaws to supply her family's breakfast. Fierce war had for a long time been waged against the Coyote kind by the cattlemen of Billings County.
