"That's my first good laugh to-day," returned Johnny. "I have no funds there." "Gresham thought you had," said Loring quietly. "A trap was laid to make him think so, and he walked right into it." "As soon as I have any place to keep a goat I'll get Gresham's," declared Johnny. "So he's really in on it." "He's scared," stated Loring. "I hope he's right," returned Johnny.
No effort will be spared, and no consideration of personal prominence will be allowed to deter us from clearing up this dastardly crime...." Rand swore again, with weary bitterness, wondering how much trouble he was going to have with District Attorney Charles P. Farnsworth, as he pulled to a stop in Stephen Gresham's driveway.
Sir Thomas Gresham's Exchange then alone dominated the open space at the entrance of the Poultry. The market was in full swing. Shopkeepers, hucksters and early risen housewives keen on buying first hand and so saving pennies were bargaining at the various stalls. Hannah went about those set apart for fruit and soon spotted some one she knew a waggoner of honest simple looks.
Gresham has since been cleared of any suspicion, but " "Who says he's been cleared?" Farnsworth snapped. "He's still a suspect." "Sergeant McKenna says so," Corporal Kavaalen declared. "He has been cleared. I guess we just didn't get around to telling you about that." He went on to explain about the long distance call that had furnished Stephen Gresham's alibi.
The Mosby man who lived with some farmer's family paid for his lodging with gifts of foodstuffs and blankets looted from the enemy. There was always a brisk trade in captured U. S. Army horses and mules. And there was a steady flow of United States currency into the section, so that in time Confederate money was driven out of circulation in a sort of reversal of Gresham's law.
About a half-mile from Gresham's he caught an advancing gleam of white on the highway ahead of him and pulled to the side of the road, waiting until the State Police car drew up and stopped. In it were Mick McKenna, Aarvo Kavaalen, and a third man, a Nordic type, in an untidy brown suit. "Hi, Jeff," McKenna greeted him, as Rand got out of his car and came across the road.
She and her brother had been living at Greshamsbury for the last two years, the living having been purchased for him such were Mr Gresham's necessities during the lifetime of the last old incumbent.
She would have looked upon his marriage with Iola as a mistake and feared that such an alliance would hurt the prospects of her daughters. During Iola's stay in the North, she had learned enough of the racial feeling to influence her decision in reference to Dr. Gresham's offer.
She was a type new to him, and, as such, absorbingly interesting. "How about Miss Gresham's brother?" he inquired idly. "How does he take it?" "Oh, Garry seems all upset, too; but then the more I talk to people, the more I think I'm the only level-headed one in the world. I haven't got a bit excited over it, have I?" "Not a bit. And now" Carroll rose and reached for the check "suppose we go?"
I was in fear, however, all the way lest those who had taken Overton and his companion into custody might come in search also of Aveline. On what account they did not seek her, I could not tell; but thankfully we reached Master Gresham's house in safety. Lady Anne's joy on seeing Aveline was very great, for news had been brought her of the fearful fate to which she had been destined.
