But you will find that Mr. Hasbrook knows a good deal about the law himself. And he has already had a lot of work done. You must understand that it is very easy to get legal advice about such a matter what is sought is some one to take the conduct of the case." "I see," said Montague; and the Judge added, with a smile, "Some one to get up on horseback, and draw the fire of the enemy!"
"For my arrest!" gasped Captain Shivernock, dismounting from his high horse, for he had a wholesome fear of the penalties of violated law. "Here is the document," added the sheriff, producing a paper. "For what?" "For breaking and entering in the night time, in the first place, and for an aggravated assault on Jacob Hasbrook in the second." "What assault? You can't prove it."
And after that came the Havens and the Wymans and the Todds it was midnight before she got through with them all. The newspapers said nothing more about the Hasbrook suit; but in financial circles Montague had attained considerable notoriety because of it. And this was the means of bringing him a number of new cases. But alas, there were no more fifty-thousand-dollar clients!
It was more probable that Hasbrook, angry and disappointed at his failure, had put the box into his wagon, and returned to the neighboring town, where, as before stated, his reputation was not first class, though, perhaps, not many people believed him capable of stealing outright, without the formality of getting up a mining company, or making a trade of some sort.
Hasbrook couldn't make him out; but likely it's some one the rogue has cheated." "Hasbrook must have seen him," suggested Donald. "The ruffian was disguised with his head in a bit of a bag, or something of that sort, and he never spoke a word from first to last," added Kennedy, looking over the article in the paper. Donald wondered if Captain Shivernock had any dealings with Hasbrook.
One fool of a woman is worth a dozen men at times like this." He pocketed his fee, bestowed upon Sothern a gratuitous wink with the words, "I guess it's a good investment for you, eh? Madden and Hasbrook look as sore as saddle boils." Drennen slept much but restlessly.
The sheriff paddled the skiff out from the shore in the direction of Seal Island. The water was clear, and they could see the bottom, which they examined very carefully as they proceeded. "I see it," suddenly exclaimed Hasbrook, as he grasped the boat-hook. "Lay hold of it," added the sheriff. "I knew I was right." "I have it."
"If I don't, it will be because I can't prove what is the truth." Mr. Beardsley reported the result of the search, and handed the captain the four fifty-dollar bills with the papers. "I have no doubt all these were in the tin box," said the nabob, sadly. "The bills are like those paid me by Hasbrook, and these notes are certainly mine. I don't ask you to commit yourself, Don John, but "
"Well, that is a good joke; but I want to say that I respect the man who did it, whoever he is." "Self-respect is a gentlemanly quality. The man who don't respect himself will not be respected by others," said Laud, stroking his chin. "Eh?" Laud confidently repeated the proposition. "You respect yourself, and of course you respect the man that pounded Hasbrook," he added.
He did not deny what I said." "This was the morning after the Hasbrook outrage was it?" asked Mr. Beardsley. "Yes, it was; but I knew nothing about that till night." "We can easily understand why the captain did not want to be seen near Lincolnville," added the sheriff. "It was he who pounded Hasbrook for swindling him." "No, sir; I think not," interposed Donald.
