Gaviller say no. Gaviller say steamboat only carry Company freight. Gaviller say: 'Come to me for what you want and I get it at regular prices." "And this is supposed to be a free country," said Ambrose. "The men are mad," continued Tole. "They do not'ing. Only Jean Bateese Gagnon. He is the mos' mad. He say he don' care. He send the money for a plow las' summer.
"Well, now that you have seen Fort Enterprise," said Gaviller dryly, "you may go on or go back. I do not care so long as you do not linger." Ambrose frowned. "If you were a younger man " he began. "You need not consider my age," said Gaviller. Ambrose measured his man. He had to confess he had good pluck. The idea of a set-to with Colina's father was unthinkable.
"Most of the trouble with them comes from the fact that anybody can lead them into mischief, just like boys. If we think of what we were like ourselves before we put on long trousers it helps to understand them." Gaviller raised his eyebrows a little at hearing the law laid down by twenty-five years old. "Ah!" he said quizzically.
"Of course I don't always agree with him on matters of policy," Strange went on. "Curious, isn't it, how a man's ruling characteristic begins to get the better of him as he grows old. "Mr. Gaviller is always just but, well, a leetle hard. He's pushing the people a little too far lately. I tell him so to his face I oppose him all I can. But of course he's the boss."
"Dad," said Colina suddenly, "what did you come north for in the first place, thirty years ago?" The question caught him a little off his guard. "A natural love of adventure, I suppose," he said carelessly. "Perfectly natural!" said Colina. "Was your father pleased?" Gaviller began to see her drift. "No!" he said testily.
"I got trouble wit' Gaviller. He starve me and my children. They sick." "Starve you!" "Gaviller say give no more debt till I bring him my black fox," Alexander went on apathetically. "Give no flour, no sugar, no meat, no tea. My brot'er feed us some. Gaviller say to him better not. So now we have nothing. We ongry." This promised difficulties. Ambrose frowned. "Tell me the whole story," he said.
Not until Tole had covered everything else did he say casually: "Colina Gaviller rides all around on her yellow horse. She is proud now. Never speaks to the people." That was all. Ambrose's heart stirred with compassion for the one, who by her loyalty was forced to embrace the wrong cause. Another time Tole remarked: "Gordon Strange run the store all summer." "So!" said Ambrose.
"Nonsense!" said Strange, laughing. "We don't carry our business war as far as that. Why, we want to show you free-traders what a fine place we have, so we can crow over you a little. Anyway, you dined with Mr. Gaviller, didn't you?" "John Gaviller would never let himself off any of the duties of hospitality," said Ambrose cautiously.
John Gaviller, Gordon Strange, Inspector Egerton; there was no man connected with the case but betrayed something of the same agitation. "Admit Miss Gaviller," commanded the judge. The two policemen, with herculean exertions, made an opening in the crowd for Colina and two companions to enter and kept every one else out. The doors were then closed.
The old man took the question as a matter of course. "There is the policeman, the doctor and the parson," he said. "The parson is best for praying. There is the engineer and the captain of the steamboat; there is young Duncan Greer. "In summer he is purser on the steamboat; in winter he is the miller. That is six white men. John Gaviller is no good yet.
