"Fever," said the doctor gently, as he laid his hand upon the boy's burning forehead and looked down in his wild eyes. "Yes," he said softly, "fever. He must have suffered terribly to have been brought to this." Doctor Grayson's book stood still.
Eddy picked up a stone, and threw it at a thrush. "It's bigger than Dr Grayson's," said Dexter, after a pause. Eddy picked a flower, gave a chew at the stalk; then picked it to pieces, and threw it away. Then he began to sidle along again in and out among the trees, and on and on, never once looking at his companion till they were at the bottom of the garden.
Grayson and Miss Morgan, and always he led the applause, which in reality needed no leading, the triumph at Chicago being repeated in full degree. Harley, watching him from his desk, saw that the big man was filled with sanguine expectation of triumph, and, with the glow of Jimmy Grayson's oratory upon him, could not see any such result as defeat.
The old man's face softened a little, and even Harley, though a prey to anxieties, felt the influence of Jimmy Grayson's spell. The little dining-room where they sat was at the rear of the house. Harley saw the golden sunshine of a perfect October day, and the wind that sang across the plain had the soft strain of a girl's voice.
Harley knew that he was thinking of Kalapoosa, the spell of Grayson's eloquence being gone for the moment. "Tired, Mr. Plover?" said Harley, putting a friendly hand on his shoulder. "A little bit," replied Plover. "But it's a great day," continued Harley. "I tell you, old man, it's one to be remembered. There never was such a campaign.
We stop just at the edge of the Indian reservation, and a lot of the braves, with their squaws, too, I suppose, will attend. Of course they will be duly impressed by Jimmy Grayson's oratory." Sylvia Morgan was present when this news was announced, and Hobart suddenly stopped short and glanced at her.
You were right about that, as you are about everything. If you hadn't had this experience with Godolphin, you wouldn't have known how to appreciate Mr. Grayson's reception of you, and you might have been unreasonable. I can see now that it's all been for the best, and that we needed just this discipline to prepare us for prosperity. But I guess Godolphin will wish, when he hears that Mr.
Grayson's success," said Hobart, "and, as she intimates, it will come pretty near to breaking her heart if he fails." In the lobby Harley met Churchill, of the Monitor, and Churchill, as usual, was sneering. "I imagine that Grayson will make a display of provincialism to-night," he said. "America will have to blush for herself.
What right had Jimmy Grayson or Jimmy Grayson's wife, which was the same thing, to interfere in his private affairs? And it was only a step from one's private life to one's public life. Wrong in one, wrong in the other. Mr. Crayon, watching him keenly though covertly, was pleased with the varying expressions that passed over the unbearded portions of the "King's" face.
Bridge hesitated. "Oh, put me down as L. Bridge," he said. "Where from?" asked the ranch foreman. "El Orobo Rancho," answered Bridge. Grayson shot a quick glance at the man. The answer confirmed his suspicions that the stranger was probably a horse thief, which, in Grayson's estimation, was the worst thing a man could be. "Where did you get that pony you come in on?" he demanded.
