"Hallock?" said McCloskey; "and you said there was a woman in it? That fits down to the ground, John. Mr. Lidgerwood has found out something about Hallock's family tear-up, or he's likely to find out. That's what that means!" What more McCloskey said was said to an otherwise empty room. Judson had opened the door and closed it, and was gone.
If José had indeed been Hallock's informant, and the unscrupulous promoter had traced the legend to this latest source, his anger at being unable to bully the boy into further disclosures would be easily understood. That night, when the moon had risen, Thode crossed the plaza and started out on foot for the shack.
He approved Hallock's order Number Three excluding fugitives from the lines. He even permitted the poor old Hutchinsons to be sent away from the army very much as if they had been colored people, when trying to rouse "the boys" with their freedom songs. In many ways Mr.
Lidgerwood was frowning abstractedly up at the windows of Hallock's office in the head-quarters building. "I don't know," he said, half hesitantly. "But he is implicated in that murderous business of last night that we both know and now he is back here. McCloskey told you that, didn't he?" Judson nodded again, and Lidgerwood went on, irresistibly impelled to justify his own action.
Hallock's carrying double. He has fixed up some trouble-making message, or faked one, and signed your name to it, and then schemed to let it leak out through Dix." "It's making the trouble, all right," was Judson's comment. "When I left Biggs's a few minutes ago, Tryon was calling for volunteers to come down here and steal an engine.
"You are afraid of Hallock's friends as you were afraid of Rufford and his friends. But you must do your sworn duty." "Nein, nein, dot ain'd it," was the earnest denial. "Bud bud nobody vould serve a warrant on Mr. Hallock, Mr. Litchervood! "I'll find some one to serve it," said the complainant curtly, and Schleisinger made no further objections.
In the turning of a leaf he had fought his way to her. "Good heavens, Eleanor!" he gasped. "What are you doing here?" and he faced her about quickly and led her into the corridor lest she should see the distorted features of the victim of Hallock's vengeance. "I came they took the car away, and I I was left behind," she faltered. And then: "Oh, Howard! take me away; hide me somewhere!
"They tell me you have missed the step up again, Hallock," said the smoker lazily, when the purely technical matter that had brought him to Hallock's office had been settled.
Hallock's gaunt face, with the loose lips and the straggling, unkempt beard, was a blank; and the worst wreck of the three which promptly followed the introduction of the new rules, was noted in his reports with the calm indifference with which he might have jotted down the breakage of a section foreman's spike-maul.
Flemister, and a man whom Judson has identified as Hallock, were the two who ditched 204 at Silver Switch last night. The charge in Judson's warrant reads,'train-wrecking and murder." The trainmaster smote the desk with his fist. "I'll add one more strand to the rope Hallock's rope," he gritted ferociously.
