It was Hegan, prolific of resource and suggestion, who opened Daylight's eyes to undreamed possibilities in twentieth-century warfare; and it was Daylight, rejecting, accepting, and elaborating, who planned the campaigns and prosecuted them.
And old Dan Waterman organised the Steel Trust, and watches it all the time." "But what's that got to do with Hegan?" "Simply that Jim Hegan works with Waterman in everything." Montague stared in dismay. "I see," he said. "Of course!" said the Major. "My dear fellow, why don't you come to me before you do things like that?
He paused a moment. "Miss Hegan," he began, "I have had a painful experience in this panic. I have lived through it in a very dreadful way. I cannot get over it I cannot get the images of suffering out of my mind. It is a very real and a very awful thing to me this wrecking of the lives of tens of thousands of people. And so I am hardly fitted for the amenities of social life just at present."
Montague smiled to himself as he read this letter. He did not go with Curtiss. But the heat of the city was stifling, and the thought of the surf and the country was alluring, and he went up by way of the Sound one Friday night. He was invited to dinner at the Hegans'. Jim Hegan was there himself for the first occasion in three years. Mrs.
He noticed her gentle and caressing voice, with the least touch of the South in it; and he was glad to find that it was possible for her to talk without breaking the spell of her serene and noble beauty. Montague stayed as long as he had any right to stay. And all the way as he rode home he was thinking about Laura Hegan.
He had met him as one gentleman meets another, had shaken hands with him, had gone and talked with him freely and frankly! And then Hegan had sent a detective to worm his secrets from him, and had even tried to get at the contents of his trash basket! There was only one resort that Montague could think of, in a case so perplexing.
He called up others. He ordered his motor-car. To Jones he gave instructions for the forwarding of Bob and Wolf to Glen Ellen. Hegan he surprised by asking him to look up the deed of the Glen Ellen ranch and make out a new one in Dede Mason's name. "Who?" Hegan demanded. "Dede Mason," Daylight replied imperturbably the 'phone must be indistinct this morning. "D-e-d-e M-a-s o-n. Got it?"
She confirmed the good news of the papers, and said that her uncle was resting quietly. Instead she said that he had mentioned Montague's kindness particularly, and asked her to thank him. Montague was cynical enough to doubt this. It was the first time that he had ever had any occasion to talk with Miss Hegan.
It's the biggest, best dream I ever had, and I'm going after it to get it " "By losing all you've got," Hegan exploded at him. "Sure by losing all I've got that I don't want. But I'm hanging on to them hundred and forty hair bridles just the same. Now you'd better hustle out to Unwin and Harrison and get on down town. I'll be at the hotel, and you can call me up any time."
No matter what happens to me or the paper, them three hundred thousand folks are coming in the same. And there'll be cars to carry them around, and houses to hold them, and good water for them to drink and electricity to give them light, and all the rest." By this time Hegan had arrived in an automobile.
