She looked about her, a little helplessly. Then she glanced at Keenan. "See, he's coming to!" "Are you ready?" Durkin demanded sharply. "Yes," she answered, in her dead and resigned voice, as she took up her hat and coat. "But where are we going?" "I'll tell you on the way down. Only you must get what you want, and hurry!" "But is it safe now?" she demurred, "and for you?"
Frank kept her eyes on Keenan. She, too, began to feel the sense of some vast finality in their moves and actions that night. Keenan laughed. It was a dry and joyless laugh, but it was discouraging. "What's on the floor above?" demanded Durkin, wheeling on him.
Tell the wharfinger to tell him to throw a few clothes into a suit case that he's to go to Papeete on mighty important business and to meet me at the head of Greenwich Street Dock at one-twenty, without fail, for his orders and his money. Having phoned these orders, Matt, take the office automobile and scorch to the water front to see that they're carried out. Take Miss Keenan with you. Good-bye."
"That is the reason Henig and Carr were beaten, that is the reason Feinberg and Roberts were beaten, that is the reason men and women were knocked down in the crowds, that is the reason that this boy, Schwartz, was taken out by McRae and chased zigzag down the road in mortal terror of being run down by the sheriff's automobile, that is the reason 'Sergeant' Keenan was hit over the head with a gun, that is the reason James Rowan was taken out and beaten black and blue.
I don't deny he isn't dangerous, but so is Pobloff, and so is Doogan, for that matter, and this man Keenan as well!" "But they would never crush and smash you, as MacNutt will, if the chance comes!" she persisted passionately. "You don't see and understand it, because you are so close to it and so deep in it. It's like traveling along this little Riviera railway.
As Durkin edged craftily round, with his back to the side wall, so that his eye commanded the silent trio before him, Frank made a movement to draw away from Keenan, who stood grotesquely petrified, his lean jaw fallen, the melancholy Celtic face touched more with wonder than with fear. "Don't move!" commanded her husband, as he saw the motion. "Stay where you are!"
Now and then a scurrying movement told of a gopher, hiding too, and on one mantel-piece, the black fireplace yawning below, sat a tiny tawny-tinted owl, whose motionless beadlike eyes met his with a stare of stolid surprise. After he had passed, its sudden ill-omened cry set the silence to shuddering. Keenan, leading the way, paused in displeasure.
To reach the greatest trial in the history of labor unionism, perhaps the greatest also in the number of defendants involved and the number of witnesses called, one had to ascend to the fourth floor of the court house and line up in the corridor under the watchful eyes of the I. W. W. "police," C. R. Griffin and J. J. Keenan, appointed by the organization at the request of the court.
"It is obvious that he isn't, for then it would be quite unnecessary to send out any such messages by wireless." "But supposing it's Pobloff?" "Didn't you say that Pobloff would never follow us out of Europe?" "But even if it's Keenan?" she persisted. "Then you must remember that you are Miss Allen, at your old trade of picking up little art relics for wealthy families in England and America.
"MacNutt!" ejaculated the listening woman. "Yes, MacNutt! He compromised with Penfield and swung in with him when the district-attorney started pounding at them both. The second man is a lawyer named Keenan, who was disbarred for conspiracy in the Brayton divorce case. Keenan and his papers are due at Genoa on Friday. I found some of this out on board the yacht.
