Hazleton was celebrated with all the pomp which Grace and Rose could give it. It was followed by a great feast, and numberless rare presents. Jordan never showed off so well. The marriage exalted and transformed him. After the wedding, Mr. and Mrs. Jordan left for a month's visit to Scotland. The syndicate that bought the "Wedge of Gold" put some of the stock on the market.
But we we don't know what to guard against," he concluded, perplexed. "We'd like to know that's all. It's too big a risk." "I may see Mrs. Hazleton?" mused Kennedy. "Yes. Under the circumstances she can scarcely refuse to see anyone we send. I've arranged already for you to meet her within an hour. Is that all right?" "Certainly."
Some hundred odd souls were gathered there, where the stern-wheel steamers that ply the turgid Skeena reach the head of navigation. A land-recording office and a mining recorder Hazleton boasted as proof of its civic importance. The mining recorder, who combined in himself many capacities besides his governmental function, undertook to put through Bill's land deal. He knew Bill Wagstaff.
Mahler knew me and my mother. He knew her because she taught under him, and of course saw me often enough to know that I was her son, and so last week when he saw me in the store, I noticed that he looked very closely at me, and that in a few moments after he was in conversation with Mr. Hazleton.
Slush was winning. This seemed to surprise and puzzle both the Englishman and the Frenchman. It was hard work to draw the little man in when Hazleton or Montfort dealt. On his own deal or that of Bloodgood, he seemed ready for anything. "By Jove!" whispered Frank, in Diamond's ear. "That man is not such a fool as I thought!
In early March came a telegram from Whitey Lewis saying that he had staked the claims, both placer and lode; that he was bound out by the Telegraph Trail to file at Hazleton. Bill showed her the message wired from Station Six. "I wish I could have been in on it that was some trip," he said and there was a trace of discontent in his tone.
Hazleton loved him it was for her to tell him so. So he decided that the thing to do was to hurry the work in hand to culmination. The rainy season was pretty well over, and the material for the mill was pushed forward with reasonable dispatch. It was all on the ground, set up, and in motion in fifty days.
He was content to let what he had shown work in the man's mind. "For the sake of that baby would she would she forgive?" asked Hazleton, turning desperately toward Kennedy. Deliberately Kennedy faced him, not as scientist and millionaire, but as man and man. "From my psychanalysis," he said slowly, "I should say that it IS within your power, in time, to change those dreams."
To prevent this, the Coal and Iron Police have been brought to Hazleton to intimidate the miners and to suppress them by force if they make any concerted move looking toward bringing on a strike.
At last the betting stopped, and Slush picked up the pack to give out the cards. Hazleton called for two. He received them, and remained imperturbable. He had caught nothing with his three nines. Bloodgood had tumbled to the fact that he was "up against" threes, and he had discarded his pair of low cards, holding only the two aces. To these he drew a seven and two more aces!
