Before long Jack's eyes ceased to sting and his vision once more became almost normal. By then, too, Kearns had come to his senses, with Perk keeping him subdued by means of prodding a weapon in his ribs. Jack hunted around and found some rope with which they temporarily bound the arms and ankles of their prisoner.
Kearns had dealt, and French Louis had opened the pot with one marker in his case one hundred dollars. Campbell had merely "seen" it, but Elam Harnish, corning next, had tossed in five hundred dollars, with the remark to MacDonald that he was letting him in easy. MacDonald, glancing again at his hand, put in a thousand in markers. Kearns, debating a long time over his hand, finally "saw."
Would your others have as much nerve as that?" "Maybe she has someone to double in those places," suggested the screen-wise Tessie Kearns. "Not Beulah Baxter. Didn't I see her personal appearance that time I went to Peoria last spring on purpose to see it?
"That may be," agreed Jack, "I understood he ran in that groove but just the same they say this Kearns is a real he-man an' can put up a warm scrap when necessary the dude racket is only a thin veneer hiding the genuine article.
After that, Kearns had fallen back on his posts at Forty Mile and Sixty Mile and changed the direction of his ventures by sending out to the States for a small sawmill and a river steamer. The former was even then being sledded across Chilcoot Pass by Indians and dogs, and would come down the Yukon in the early summer after the ice-run.
When the report of the apostle's candidacy had first reached Washington, the President had summoned to the White House Senator Thomas Kearns of Utah and Senator Mark Hanna, who was chairman of the National Republican committee; and to these two men he had declared his opposition to the candidacy of a Mormon apostle as a Republican aspirant for a Senatorship.
A book's title had lodged in his mind, remained there, and was now curiously stirring in some direct relation to his present perplexities. But it kept its face averted. He could not read it. Vaguely he identified the nameless book with Tessie Kearns; he could not divine how, because it was not her book and he had never seen it except on the library shelf.
And for not an ounce less'n that will I go out of the country." Again his statement was received with an outburst of derision. Not only had the total gold output of the Yukon up to date been below five millions, but no man had ever made a strike of a hundred thousand, much less of a million. "You-all listen to me. You seen Jack Kearns get a hunch to-night. We had him sure beat before the draw.
If she were going into that branch of the art she ought to take lessons, the way Tessie Kearns did.
This resulted in giving him a quick survey of the interior he could see what had come before his vision on his previous survey but at first he failed to discover any human presence. The fact gave him a feeling of chagrin, under the impression that Kearns might in some mysterious way have been able to quit the rock house without being discovered and that they had been outwitted.
