Rosenblatt sprang to the cave mouth, came back again, furtively treading upon the match. The perspiration was standing out upon his forehead. "It is a terrible night," he said. "Let us proceed. We can't wait for my partner. Read, read." With fingers that trembled so that he could hardly hold the papers, he thrust the documents into Kalman's hand. "Read," he cried, "I cannot see."
Brown all they can," and this message Irma wrote to Kalman with religious care, telling him too how sad the dear sweet face had grown in sending the message. But when Mrs. French reached her home, she read again parts out of the letter which the same mail had brought her from the Night Hawk Ranch, read them in the light of Kalman's letter, while the shadows deepened on her face.
Brown lifted her and laid her in Portnoff's arms. The dying man lay silent, gathering his strength. He was breathing now with great difficulty. "My son! I cannot see you " Brown came and took Kalman's place. "Here I am, father," said Kalman, kneeling beside him and holding his two hands. "Bid my daughter Irma farewell! She will be safe with you." Then after a pause he whispered, "In my pocket."
But the song was only postponed. In every social function of the foreign colony, Kalman's singing was a feature. The boy loved to sing and was ever ready to respond to any request for a song. So when the cry for a song rose once more, Kalman was ready and eager. He sprang upon a beer keg and cried, "What shall it be?" "My song," said Irma, who stood close to him. The boy shook his head. "Not yet."
Even to Kalman's inexperienced eyes it was a deplorable outfit. There was little done in the way of cultivation of the soil upon the Night Hawk Ranch. The market was far away, and it was almost impossible to secure farm labour. The wants of French and his household were few.
Let us appoint a committee to find out how much money has been paid and where it is." With enthusiasm Kalman's suggestion was carried into effect. A committee was appointed and instructed to secure the information with all speed. Next day Klazowski was not to be found in the colony.
"It is the hand of a brave man and good." Her tone was one of warm and genuine admiration. All Kalman's practised self-control deserted him. He felt the hot blood rising in his face. With a great effort he regained command of himself and began pointing out the features of interest in the mine.
Menzies has a company all organized and in his pocket, waiting only approval of the owner of the mine." "And the party will arrive in about three weeks, I think you said, French," remarked Brown, with a tone of elaborate carelessness. Kalman's face flushed hot. The eyes of both men were upon him. "Yes, in about three weeks," replied French.
Aunt Janet was quite captivated, and before she knew it, she had accepted the invitation for the party. "Oh, good!" cried Miss Marjorie in ecstasy; "we shall come to-morrow, Mr. French." And with this news French drove back to the ranch, to the disgust of old Mackenzie, who dreaded "women folks," and to Kalman's alternating delight and dismay.
"How could I know you could ever love a foreigner, the son of a " "The son of a hero, who paid out his life for a great cause," she cried with a sob. "Oh, Kalman, I have been there. I have seen the people, your father's people." Kalman's face was pale, his voice shaking. "You have seen? You understand? You do not shrink from me?" He felt his very soul trembling in the balance.
