Do you think, if you had ever seen that bill before, you would recognize it again, if it fell into your hands?" added the captain. "Certainly I should." "Well, it has been in my hands before. Do you remember the day that Michael had the sun-stroke?" "Yes, sir; and your tin box disappeared that day." "Precisely so; and this bill was in that tin box. Jacob Hasbrook, of Lincolnville, paid me a note.
He had nothing else to recommend him, and would not take advice from old veterans like Green, Mason, Bernard, Perry and Hasbrook men who had grown gray in frontier service. At 9 o'clock on the morning of the second day, Col. Green ordered an advance. The men answered with a cheer, and soon reached a position on top of the ridge next to Jack's camp.
Certainly it was not necessary to suspect him when the possibilities of guilt included two such persons as Laud and Hasbrook. Donald was rather distinguished, in school and out, as a good boy, and he ought to have the full benefit of his reputation. "You don't think Don John took the box do you, father?" asked Nellie, as her father was meditating on the circumstances.
A tin box, containing nearly fourteen hundred dollars in bills, and many valuable papers, was stolen from this room. Three persons, Jacob Hasbrook, Laud Cavendish, and Don John here, passed through the library when they left the house." "Hasbrook stole it; he is the biggest scoundrel of the three," added the wicked nabob. "Perhaps not," continued the good nabob.
His eyes were flaming and growing red; his face was splotched with colour, hot, angry colour; he was muttering to himself, little broken, feverish, illogical outpourings of the seething passion within him. He passed three men who were lounging and smoking. He did not turn his eyes toward them. They were the three big mining men, Madden and Hasbrook and Sothern.
From three sides the Indians poured into the camp a withering fire. As a result the entire command became panic stricken. Seven men were knocked down, almost at the first fire, and it has always been a matter of surprise to me that Hasbrook, old campaigner as he was, should be caught off his guard. It began to look like another Wright-Thomas massacre.
Lemarc and Sefton, speaking together, had dropped far behind; Hasbrook was close to Madden's elbow. So they passed down the street. Ygerne Bellaire, standing now in front of Marquette's, watched them wonderingly. Sothern came first to the dugout. The door being open, he passed in without stopping. He laid the inert form down gently and came back to the door.
I don't know whether he thinks I am the fellow that thrashed him, or not. He has pumped me dry about it. I happened to let on that I saw you, and Hasbrook wants to talk with you." By this time they reached Mr. Rodman's house, and to the surprise of Donald, Laud Cavendish coolly walked into the grounds with him. Laud Cavendish was at Donald's side when they entered the grounds of Mr.
Some day they'll throw him overboard altogether, and then he'll realize how they've played with him. That's what this Hasbrook case means, you know they simply want to frighten him with a threat of getting the company's affairs into the courts and the newspapers." Montague sat for a while in deep thought. "What would you think would be Wyman's relation to the matter?" he asked, at last.
"Well, what do you want here?" "I wish to see you, sir." "You do see me don't you?" growled the eccentric. "What's your business?" "On the morning after the Hasbrook outrage, Captain Shivernock, you were seen at Seal Harbor," said Laud. "Who says I was?" roared the captain, springing to his feet.
