When Horseley gets to hear that, you can't keep him here, he'll settle up, sell out, and realize on everything he's got to go after her agin, you bet. That's what Briggs said. Well, that's what sent me up to Horseley's to-night to get there, drop the news, and then pin him down to that contract." "It looked like a good stroke of business and a fair one," said the lady in an odd voice.
"No," said the lady, resting her cheek on her hand and gazing on the fire, "it's all very interesting; and so odd that you two men, with nearly the same experiences, should be neighbors." "Say buyer and seller, ma'am, not neighbors at least Scriptoorily nor friends. Well, now this is where the Speshal Providence comes in, only this afternoon Jim Briggs, hearin' me speak of Horseley's offishness"
"WHOSE offishness?" asked the lady. "Horseley's offishness, Horseley's the name of the man I'm talkin' about. Well, hearin' that, he says: 'You hold on, Hays, and he'll climb down. That wife of his has left the stage got sick of it and is driftin' round in 'Frisco with some fellow.
You're almost sure to be offered suthin' up at Horseley's, while if I have to cook you up suthin' now and still have the men's regular supper to get at seven, it makes all the expense of an extra meal." Hays hesitated. He would have preferred his supper now, and had his daughter pressed him would have accepted it.
"Ye kin put some things in my carpet bag agin the time the sled comes round," said her father meditatively, without looking up. "Then you're not coming back tonight?" asked the girl curiously. "What's goin' on at the summit, father?" "I am," he said grimly. "You don't reckon I kalkilate to stop thar! I'm going on as far as Horseley's to close up that contract afore the weather changes."
