Quarter-back started with the ball, and it looked as though he would dash for the right. The quarter took one step, then wheeled like lightning, and rushed after Darrin, who already was in swift motion. Gridley's whole line switched for the left. Tottenville found out the trick after the heaviest fellows in its line had started for Gridley's right. "Oh, Darrin -sprint! Oh, you Prescott!"
He appeals to me as being anything but a scoundrel." "Well, perhaps the word is a bit too savage," admitted Gridley's accuser. "What I meant was that he has capabilities that way, and not much moral restraint. He is the kind of man to wade through fire and blood to gain his object, without the slightest thought of the consequences to others. Ever hear the story of his marriage? No?
Gridley's all right. We mustn't forget that his department, thus far, is the only one that hasn't given us trouble and doesn't seem likely to give us trouble. I wish I could say as much for the force here in the Crows' Nest." "With a single exception, you can to-day," said McCloskey quickly. "I've cleaned house.
The "chuckle-headed fool" of Gridley's malediction was Richard Rufford, the "Killer's" younger brother. Lidgerwood said nothing of this incident to Dawson, whom he found patrolling the roundhouse. Here, as at the shops and in the yard, everything was quiet and orderly.
Few feminine faces appeared on the Cobber stand. The Cobber colors, brown and gray, floated here and there on the breeze in the form of small banners. Gridley's stand was brilliant with the crimson and gold banners of Gridley H.S. These bright-hued bits of bunting waved deliriously as the band's strains floated forth.
That was Gridley's specialty for this game, one long planned and worked for. Quarter-back Winters again got the ball. With a handsome forward pass he made it Thompson's, and it went to the enemy's seven-yard line. "Question -four!" appealed Cheer-Master Prescott, through the megaphone. Back from twenty boys on the home stand came the heavy query: "Where's Cobber? Where's Cobber?"
A whistle sounded. Then the ball was put swiftly into play. Tottenville put up a sturdy resistance against Gridley's left end. Dave Darrin had the ball, and appeared to be trying to break through the Tottenville line, well backed by Gridley's interference.
The evening was made pleasant with sacred music, and the fatigues of two long services repaired by such simple refections as would not turn the holy day into a day of labor. A large paper copy of the new edition of Byles Gridley's remarkable work was lying on the table. He never looked so happy, could anything fill his cup fuller?
Look here, Gifted, here is something to please you. We are going to visit the gay world together. See what has been left here this forenoon." He showed him two elegant notes of invitation requesting the pleasure of Professor Byles Gridley's and of Mr. Gifted Hopkins's company on Thursday evening, as the guests of Mrs. Clymer Ketchum, of 24 Carat Place.
In another instant her face whitened, the scrap of paper fluttered to the floor, and she would have followed it but for the support of both Mr. Gridley's arms. He disengaged one of them presently, and felt in his pocket for the sal volatile. It served him excellently well, and stung her back again to her senses very quickly. All her defiant aspect had gone.
