"Oh, business; this building and loan association of mine." "Oh, I know it can't be that. Why don't you let Mr. Gretry manage your " But at this point Jadwin, the warning of Gretry still fresh in his mind, interrupted quickly: "I must hang up now, Laura. Good-by. I'll see you to-morrow noon and explain it all to you. Good-by.... Laura.... Hello! ... Are you there yet? ... Hello, hello!"
They two the beaten general and his young armour bearer heard it coming; hissing, raging, bellowing, it swept down upon them. Landry uttered a cry. Flesh and blood could not stand this strain. He cowered at his chief's side, his shoulders bent, one arm above his head, as if to ward off an actual physical force. But Jadwin, iron to the end, stood erect.
He was fine, he was noble; and all at once this fineness and nobility of his so affected her that she began to cry again. Then suddenly came the words: "... That in the world to come ye may have life everlasting. Amen." There was a moment's silence, then the group about the altar rail broke up. Come, and kiss your sister Mrs. Jadwin."
Dave and Henry were to go with him, and likewise Sam Barringford and three other frontiersmen named Lukins, Sanderson, and Jadwin. The party was likewise to contain four Indians of the Delaware tribe under White Buffalo. The whites were all to go mounted and were to take six pack-horses in addition.
I'll let you have the balance of that wheat at a dollar forty. Make the check payable to bearer as before." For a second Scannel hesitated, his face purple, his teeth grinding together, then muttering his rage beneath his breath, opened his check book again. "Thank you," said Jadwin as he took the check. He touched his call bell.
It was as though he were struggling with a fog in the interior of his brain; or again it was a numbness, a weight, or sometimes it had more of the feeling of a heavy, tight-drawn band across his temples.

It was in seventy-eight.... The secretary of the Board announced our suspension at ten in the morning. If the Board had not voted to make wheat in the cars 'regular' " He went on and on, in an impassive monotone, repeating, word for word, the same phrases he had used for so long that they had lost all significance.

Then, as an ultimate disaster, she declared that she herself looked "Dutchy." There was no style, no smartness to her dress; her hair was arranged unbecomingly; she was growing thin, peaked. In a word, she looked "Dutchy." All at once she flung off her roses and dropped into a chair. "I will not go down to-night," she cried. "You and Aunt Wess' must make out to receive Mr. Jadwin.
Why, we'll say fifteen per cent., if you like." "I don't lend my money," exclaimed Hargus, shaking his head. "I ain't got any to lend," and with the words took himself off. One source of help alone Jadwin left untried. Sorely tempted, he nevertheless kept himself from involving his wife's money in the hazard.
