Keeler hardly dared to let his fancy run on to logical conclusions. It seemed too much like condemning a man without giving him a trial. Yet he could not help being haunted by the thought that some thieves are too shrewd to assume the risks of highway robbery. In his own mind this thought constituted the one valid argument against capital punishment.
They wrapped a shawl around her, and I took her in my arms, rocked her gently and sang to her, very softly, the songs she loved best. She moved a little restlessly, and then lay very still with her head on my breast. So I rocked and sang to Bess, and the two women moved noiselessly about the room until Grandma Keeler came and looked down very intently into the little one's face.
But then she ought not to feel so. Why, there was time and time agin that I didn't git no letter from Bijonah Keeler when he was voyagin', and to be sure, they wasn't much better than nothin' when they did come; for pa" Grandma cast a calmly comprehensive glance at her unconscious mate "pa was a man that had a great many idees in general, but, when he set down to write a letter, somehow he seemed to consider that it wasn't no place for idees, a letter wasn't seemed as though he managed a'most a purpose not to get none in."
Much has been said of the effect of the comparative isolation of such a community, which is apt to be provocative of internal dissension. But this cause has not operated in the case of Holden's successors. Keeler became the second director in 1897, and administered his office with, so far as I know, universal satisfaction till his lamented death in 1900.
James E. Keeler demonstrated with the spectroscope, by means of the Doppler principle, already explained in the chapter on Venus, that the rings circulate about the planet with varying velocities according to their distance from Saturn's center, exactly as independent satellites would do.
"If I could scrape together the dust, I'd leave these mountains as he tried to." "Who do you suppose the robbers were?" "If I could make a good guess, I'd go after that ten thousand dollar reward," replied Keeler. "There's an awful tough gang over in Jim Crow Cañon," said Brown, throwing out another feeler. "Can you tell me of a place in these gold fields where you won't find a tough gang?
"Well, I might do it, if I only knew how to go about it." "Well, Keeler, I think I can give you a start. And while we eat some dinner I'll tell you a story that will surprise you." These Californians were certainly two of a kind; but then, two of a kind, though both be kings, is not a strong hand. An Old Sweetheart
"The boys set too stiff a pace out there, though," replied the ex-miner. "Why, many a Saturday night I've seen fellows drop into town with a hundred and fifty dollars in dust, and then borrow the money to take the stage out Monday morning." "I don't go in for sporting myself," said Keeler, "so I guess my character won't be ruined.
Probably no one would ever have been the wiser in regard to his old sweetheart and her sad history except for the escape of Cummins' murderers. And now it was not necessary that any man other than Keeler should know. "Glad to see you, Francis. What news from Moore's Flat?" Francis looked grave. "I suppose Keeler has told you all I know. Seven days gone and nothing heard of the robbers.
"You girls needn't stay up at all," said Rex. "Roy and I will stand guard." "Oh, I couldn't sleep if I went to bed," declared Jess. "I don't know as I can ever sleep again so long as we are in this house. Think how he must know all the ins and outs of it by this time!" "How silly you talk, Jess," interposed Eva. "One would think to hear you that Mr. Keeler was a common burglar.
