It was then that Harvey noticed and admired what had never struck him before his father's curious power of getting at the heart of new matters as learned from men in the street. "How d'you make 'em tell you everything without opening your head?" demanded the son, as they came out of a rigger's loft. "I've dealt with quite a few men in my time, Harve, and one sizes 'em up somehow, I guess.
The moment had reddened his face, brightened his eyes, made his action strong. "I'm safer here with this outlaw gang," she replied. "You won't come!" His color began to lighten then, and his face to distort. He dropped his hold on the saddles. "Harve Riggs, I'd rather become a toy and a rag for these ruffians than spend an hour alone with you," she flashed at him, in unquenchable hate.
I never stopped being afraid of you till I found out that in reality you were afraid of me. You know you are. You are afraid of all women." "He isn't a bit afraid of women," affirmed Leonore. Just then Mr. Beekman came up. "Er Mrs. Rivington. You know this is er a sort of house-warming, and they tell me we are to go over the house, don't you know, if we wish. May I harve the pleasure?"
The darkness hid all six, the two policemen, the four men behind them the only sounds were the OFFICERS' footsteps dying away in the distance. Jimmie Dale's fingers were mechanically testing the mechanism of the automatic in his pocket. "The Skeeter's gang!" he muttered to himself. "Red Mose, the Midget, Harve Thoms and the Skeeter!
"Give him a chance to know a few leadin' principles. Sailin's an art, Harvey, as I'd show you if I had ye in the fore-top o' the " "I know ut. Ye'd talk him dead an' cowld. Silince, Tom Platt! Now, after all I've said, how'd you reef the foresail, Harve? Take your time answerin'." "Haul that in," said Harvey, pointing to leeward. "Fwhat? The North Atlantuc?" "No, the boom.
But he was a fool about money and he got mixed up in things and died. I was twenty-five years old then, and I took to hats. "Well, Harve Granger was my father's law-clerk before father was elected judge. I used to see him night and morning. And, as I say, I know him all the way through. He knows I know him, and that's what he can't get over."
Helen had never seen him detached from her home surroundings, and now the difference struck cold upon her heart. "Hello, Nell!" he said. "Surprised to see me?" "No," she replied, coldly. "I'll gamble you are." "Harve Riggs, I told you the day before I left home that nothing you could do or say mattered to me." "Reckon that ain't so, Nell. Any woman I keep track of has reason to think.
"Harve never could have handled stock none," interposed the cattleman. "He hadn't it in him to be sharp. Do you remember when he bought Sander's mules for eight-year olds, when everybody in town knew that Sander's father-in-law give 'em to his wife for a wedding present eighteen years before, an' they was full-grown mules then?"
Then Bo sat bolt-upright, with pale face and flashing eyes. "Harve Riggs, you leave Nell alone," she burst out, in ringing, brave young voice. "I'll tell you what I'll bet if you follow her and nag her any more, my uncle Al or some cowboy will run you out of the country." "Hello, Pepper!" replied Riggs, coolly. "I see your manners haven't improved an' you're still wild about cowboys."
All in a flash it had come to me that it would be fairer than ever for me to take part in this thing, because in the first place the Tatums would be two against one if Harve should get back upon his feet and get into the fight; and in the second place Dudley Stackpole didn't know the first thing about shooting a pistol.
