"Gallant," he said, "you really don't think it happened that way, do you? Don't let your credulousness put you on the wrong track. Who do you suppose it was who told Gibson's investigators that it was his crusade that was closing up the town? Remember, the 'Gink' is the mayor's enemy and he isn't going to do anything unless it's against the mayor.
I am waiting for one of them to swing over to my side and tell exactly what his position is." John remembered the interview Brennan and he had had with the mayor, and in his mind, as vivid as it was when it occurred, he saw the mayor solemnly pledge himself to seek to establish what he suspected that Gibson was in league with "Gink" Cummings. "What will be your next move?" he asked.
"I can't quite make that gink out," he mused. "Either he's a mighty good loser or else he's a deep one who'll wait a year to get me the way he wants to get me." And Pesita a few moments later was saying to Captain Rozales: "I should have shot him if I could spare such a man; but it is seldom I find one with the courage and effrontery he possesses.
What reason could I give for firing him?" "Say it's for the good of the service, that's all." "And give him a chance to wail that I fired him because I am afraid of him, that I did it in desperation to save myself. Why, it would give him 10,000 votes of sympathy. No, Brennan, I must get something real to show that Gibson and 'Gink' Cummings are partners."
By the way what became of him?" the doctor asked of Detective Carroll, who had strolled out of the detectives' private room and was listening to the conversation. "Oh, that gink? He made a big howl about getting back his watch, and as he had a perfectly good alibi, and we could fasten nothing on him, we give it back to him and told him to beat it. He did, I guess."
"Dat's what I figured," said Murphy. "So last night I find a place near da door I seen them go in and waits for them, see? I wait all night, but nobody shows up. I figures dat if it's Gibson meetin' da 'Gink' you boys will want to be in on it, see? I know dat joint like it's my own, see?" "We see, Murphy, perfectly," interposed Brennan. "So, I know there's a basement, see?
And it appeared, in fact, that you couldn't, for Jimsy King's team went into the second half like happy young tigers, against men who were a little tired, a little overconfident, and in the first ten minutes of play the King Gink, mud-smeared beyond recognition, grinning, went over the line for a touchdown, and nobody minded much Burke's missing the goal because they had won anyway: GREENMOUNT 4 L. A. HIGH 5
"'Rainbow's the chap who deserves your approval, says Mr. Van, pointin' to the hoss. "'Indeed, he does the old precious! she says, 'n' rubs her face against Rainbow's nose. Just then Ferguson rides up with a English gink who's a friend of Mr. Van's, 'n' the dame beats it into the club-house. This Englishman is a lord or a duke or somethin', 'n' he's visitin' Mr. Van's brother.
'E never washes and never changes 'is clothes, so what can yer expect?" The "Gink" flared up at once: "Yer god-damn son of a bitch it's youss guys that never washes. I bet yer me borram dollar I ant got a god-damn chat on me...." A long wrangle ensued. Wild threats and foul insults were flung about. But the quarrel, like nearly all our quarrels, did not go beyond violent words.
"Ferguson nods to him 'n' rides off. "The English gink has heard the bet, 'n' when Ferguson beats it he shakes his head. "'Aw, old chap! he says. 'That's a bit raw don't you think? I'm sorry you let him draw you. It's a beastly mess. "'I'm not afraid of him and his horse! says Mr. Van. But I can see he ain't feelin' joyous. "'Damn him and his hawss and you too! says the English gink.
