For a long time there was silence, and Larry Kildene sat with his head drooped on his breast. At last he took up the thread where he had left it. "Two days later I stood in the heavy parlor of that house, I stood there with their old portraits looking down on me, and my heart was filled with ice ice and fire.
Then although white to the lips, he spoke quietly: "Harry King the murderer be the son of Larry Kildene Larry Kildene I to slink away in the hills forever to hide " "No more of that. I'll show you a new life. Give me your hand, Harry King." And the young man extended both hands in a silence through which no words could have been heard.
The young man neither moved nor spoke for a moment, and as he stood thus the sheriff took him by the arm, and roused him. "Richard Kildene, you are under arrest for the murder of your cousin, Peter Craigmile, Jr." With a quick, frantic movement, Harry King sprang back and thrust both men violently from him.
Come and sit down and give an account of yourself to Mary, while I try to get hold of the rest," said Bertrand. "Mrs. Dean has gone for them, father. Mrs. Walters, the coffee's all right; come and sit down here and let's visit until the others come. You remember Richard Kildene, Mrs. Walters?" "Since he was a baby, but it's been so long since I've seen you, Richard.
The hole was made gradually, until, one morning about ten o'clock, a great mass of rock gold bearing, I tell you rich in nuggets I was crazed to lose it fell out into space, and there I stood on the very verge of eternity." They rounded the turn as he talked, and Larry Kildene stood forward under the stars and waved the torch over his head and held Harry back from the edge with his other hand.
She who had once crossed those very plains behind a jaded team now felt that the rushing train was crawling like a snail. Larry Kildene, seated facing her and watching her, leaned forward and touched her hand. "We're going at an awful pace," he said. "To think of ever crossing these plains with the speed of the wind!" She smiled a wan smile. "Yes, that is so.
Larry Kildene glanced no more at Harry King, but looked only in the fire, where the logs had fallen in a glowing heap. His pipe was out, but he still held it in his hand. "It was little I could do. I had my education, and could repeat poems and read Latin, but that would not feed hungry peasant children.
Ah, Sir Kildene, how it is beautiful to see your son does so very much resemble our friend." They arrived at the bank, and Larry entered while Richard and Amalia strolled on together. "We had a friend, Harry King," she paused and would have corrected herself, but then continued "he was very much like to you but he is here in trouble, and it is for that for which we have come here.
He thought the stick was his father's and wondered why so interesting a walking stick or staff; it could hardly be called a cane, he thought, because it was so large and oddly shaped should be hidden away there. Had his father seen it he would have recognized it instantly as one that had belonged to his brother-in-law, Larry Kildene, and it would have been cut up and used for lighting fires.
I can go later to my father's, and he will excuse you, and I'll take you to him before he leaves to-morrow. Come, I think I know where we may find Larry Kildene." So Peter led her away into the dusk, and they walked slowly slowly along the road leading to the river bluff but not to the top.
