"Chauffeur, what's your name?" asked Haggerty of Killigrew's man, as the car rolled quietly on to Brooklyn Bridge. "Harrigan," promptly. "That's good enough for me," jovially. "Fill up th' gas-tank. I'm going t' keep y' busy for twenty-four hours, mebbe. An' if I win, a hundred for yours. All y' got t' do is t' act as I say. Let 'er go. Th' Great White Way first, where th' hotels hang out."
"Haggerty says " "Is that a rabbit or a squirrel? Something has caught the eye of our Mumbles," interrupted the Major, pointing vaguely across the mesa. "Haggerty says " "I wonder if Mumbles could catch 'em," remarked the Major, with complacence. "He says that every mile we travel brings us nearer the scent of the orange blossoms and the glare of the yellow poppies," persisted Uncle John.
"I ain't a detective," murmured Haggerty, breaking in on the silence which ensued. "I'm only fit t' chase dagos selling bananas without licenses. But I'm aching t' see this other chap. I kinda see through his game. He's going t' interest me a hull lot." Crawford consulted his watch again. Nine. "Haggerty, suppose you and I knock the billiard balls around for half an hour?" "Huh?" "Half an hour."
Haggerty fell just in front of Ned, who was loading and firing with the precision of a machine. If he had a soul he didn't know it now. The men were ordered to lie down and fire from the ground. Haggerty caught Ned's eye as it glanced along his musket searching for his foe through the cloud of blue black smoke that veiled the world.
The elevator-boy informed Haggerty that Mr. Forbes had just returned from the theater. Alone? Yes. Haggerty pushed the bell-button. A dog bayed. "Why, Haggerty, what's up? Come on in. Be still, Fritz!" The dachel's growl ended in a friendly snuffle, and he began to dance upon Haggerty's broad-toed shoes. "Bottle of beer? Cigar? Take that easy chair. What's on your mind tonight?"
Edwards, past president of the league, sat on the rostrum in the Senate Chamber beside Lieutenant Governor Edgar D. Bush, and in the House beside Speaker Jesse Eschbach, while the vote was being taken. The Senators enjoyed what was termed "the last wail" of the three anti-suffragists who voted no Kline, Haggerty and Franklin McCray of Indianapolis. Forty-three votes were cast in favor.
The door opened again. "The patrol has come," said the officer who entered. "Let it wait," growled the chief. "Haggerty has evidently got us all balled up. I don't believe his fashionable thief has materialized at all; just a common crook. Well, he's got him, at any rate, and the gems." "You have, of course, the general invitation?" said Hamilton.
Lieutenant-Colonel Haggerty was killed about noon, before we had effected a junction with Colonel Hunter's division. Colonel Cameron was mortally wounded leading his regiment in the charge, and Colonel Corcoran has been missing since the cavalry-charge near the building used as a hospital. For names, rank, etc., of the above, I refer to the lists herewith.
Instead of being a performance typical of the strange woods genius, it was merely an atrocious bit of cheap sentimentalism, badly rendered. The audience listened politely. When the song was finished it murmured faint thanks. "Oh, give us 'Jack Haggerty, Archie," urged Thorpe. But the woodsman rose, nodded his head awkwardly, and made his escape.
One of the enemy, in full view, at short range, shot Haggerty, and he fell dead from his horse. The Sixty-ninth opened fire on this party, which was returned; but, determined to effect our junction with Hunter's division, I ordered this fire to cease, and we proceeded with caution toward the field where we then plainly saw our forces engaged.
