There was more of pleasure than of embarrassment in that first look in which he recognised the wife of Curtis Jadwin. The artist had changed no whit in the four years since last she had seen him.
He wanted to go on a search for the old frontiersman, yet he did not deem it advisable to leave the trading-post, fearing that an attack might come during his absence. "I will go out for you," said Jadwin "I'd do 'most anything fer Sam Barringford. We have hunted and fit Injuns fer twenty-five years and more." "And I'll go with Tony," put in Ira Sanderson.
It ran as follows: MY DEAR MR. JADWIN: "When you asked me to become your wife this evening, you deserved a straightforward answer, and instead I replied in a spirit of capriciousness and disingenuousness, which I now earnestly regret, and which ask you to pardon and to ignore. "I allowed myself to tell you that you might find encouragement in my foolishly spoken words.
For a wonder, Jadwin was able to be present. Laura had prevailed upon him to give her this evening and the evening of the following Wednesday on which latter occasion she had planned that they were to take a long drive in the park in the buggy, just the two of them, as it had been in the days of their courtship. Corthell came to the Cresslers quite as a matter of course.
Surely, surely, this locality had once before impressed itself upon her imagination. She turned to her husband, an exclamation upon her lips; but Jadwin, by the dim light of the carriage lanterns, was studying a railroad folder. All at once, intuitively, Laura turned in her place, and raising the flap that covered the little window at the back of the carriage, looked behind.
I'll admit, for the sake of argument, that just now there's a pause. But nobody can tell whether it will turn up or down yet. Now's the time to be conservative, to play it cautious." "If I was conservative and cautious," answered Jadwin, "I wouldn't be in this game at all. I'd be buying U.S. four percents. That's the big mistake so many of these fellows down here make.
Not another order goes up to that floor." "It's a lie!" Jadwin cried, "keep on buying, I tell you! Take all they'll offer. I tell you we'll touch the two dollar mark before noon." "It's useless, Mr. Jadwin," said the banker quietly, "You were practically beaten two days ago." But Jadwin was beyond all appeal. He threw off Gretry's hand. "Get out of my way!" he shouted. "Do you hear?
What had been taken away was removed under the directions of Bevoir and taken to an Indian village "many miles away," as he expressed it. He said the red men were about a hundred and fifty strong, and had made Sam Barringford a prisoner. Of course he knew nothing of the visit of Dave, Jadwin, and Sanderson to the place, nor did James Morris enlighten him.
"Oh, well," answered Laura deprecatingly, as if to say that that did not count for much with her. "And that you were simply beautiful. He said that he never remembered to have seen a more beautiful woman." Laura turned her head away, a hand shielding her cheek. She did not answer immediately, then at length: "Has he this Mr. Jadwin has he ever been married before?" "No, no.
A little good contributed by everybody to the race is of more, infinitely more, importance than a great deal of good contributed by one individual to another." "Yes," she admitted, beginning at last to be convinced, "I see what you mean. But one must think very large to see that. It never occurred to me before. The individual I, Laura Jadwin counts for nothing.
