It was clear to him that he must anticipate Killen's disclosure of his visit to The Brakes and so draw the sting from it as far as possible. But his natural reluctance to shoulder blame made him begin with Killen's defection. "I told you to let me deal with the little traitor," Rawson exploded. "He was quite satisfied when I left him yesterday. They must have got at him again," Jeff suggested.
His shrewd eyes passed with whimsical disgust over Killen and rested on Farnum. The situation made for amusement, since Jeff knew that Big Tim had heard over the transom enough to show that Killen's vote had been recaptured for Hardy. "You've stumbled on a red hot Hardy ratification meeting. Did you come to get into the bandwagon while there is time, Tim?" Jeff asked with twinkling eyes.
"You spied on me," burst from Killen's lips. "Sure thing. And we caught you with the goods," sneered the red-faced politician. "I'll not stand it. I'll not support a man that won't trust me." "You won't, eh?" Rawson was across the floor in two jumps, worrying his victim as a terrier does a rat. "Forget it. You were elected to support R. K. Hardy, sewed up with a pledge tight and fast.
I'm not going to lie down before the Transcontinental. Not on your life, I ain't." They were walking toward the outer door as Killen's speech overflowed. "The Transcontinental doesn't own this state yet. No, sir! Nor Frome and Merrill either. We'll show 'em " The valor of the big voice collapsed like a rent balloon. For the office door had opened to let in Big Tim O'Brien.
