Then his own cheek received a slap which made his head ring, and the hall echoed with a shrill scream. "Labe!" shrieked Azuba. "Oh, Labe! Help! Come quick!" Mr. Ginn came up the back stairs three steps at a time. "What is it? What's the matter, Zuby?" he demanded. "A man! A man! He he " "Where is he? What's he doin'?" "He there he is. Hear him? There!" Mr.
Labe slowly spread open the paper; the big black headlines shrieked the crime aloud. "Good God Almighty!" exclaimed the little bookkeeper. Captain Zelotes snorted. "He didn't have anything to do with it," he declared. "The bunch that pulled that off was handled from the other end of the line. And I wish to thunder I was young enough to help send 'em back there," he added, savagely.
Queen Labe next took up some of the water in a vessel, and poured it into a basin, where there was flour, with which she made a paste, and kneaded it for a long time: then she mixed with it certain drugs, which she took from different boxes, and made a cake, which she put into a covered baking-pan.
In one respect the reigning sovereign was in advance of his age. In his devotion to the Madonna he claimed the same miraculous origin for her mother as for herself. When the prayer "O Sancta Maria sine labe originali concepta" was chanted, he would exclaim with emotion that the words embodied his devoutest aspirations.
"From Laban, is it?" asked Mr. Bangs casually. "Yup, it's from Labe." "There was another from him, then. At any rate there was one addressed in the same hen-tracks to Azuba. I met her as I was coming out of the post-office and gave it to her; she was on her way to the grocery store, she said." Daniel nodded, but made no comment. He was doing his best to decipher Mr. Ginn's hieroglyphics.
"Ah hum! Well! . . . Labe, how long has this bill of Abner Parker's been hangin' on? For thunder sakes, why don't he pay up? He must think we're runnin' a meetin'-house Christmas tree." The letter from the lawyer had come first.
"Bully for you, Grandfather!" he exclaimed. "You couldn't do a better thing for Labe or for the firm. And he deserves it, too." "Ye-es, I think he does. Labe's a mighty faithful, capable feller, and now that he's sworn off on those vacations of his he can be trusted anywheres. Yes, I've as good as made up my mind to take him in.
The condition I was in, through the enchantment of the Princess Jehaun-ara, and from which I was delivered only to fall almost immediately into the power of another, has made me look upon such a fate with horror." His tears hindered him from going on, and sufficiently shewed with what repugnance he beheld himself under the fatal necessity of being delivered to queen Labe.
Labe says Hapgood told him that Percy was keepin' company now with another woman there in Scarford, a young woman with money, of course he wouldn't chase any other kind. Well, Hapgood he's a healthy specimen for my husband to be in with, he is Hapgood knows a lot about Hungerford and his goin's on in the past, and he's got a lot of the Percy man's old letters from other girls.
"Let him be!" ordered the young lady, rushing to the rescue. "Don't! don't! Azuba, stop him!" "Labe! stop! stop!" pleaded the housekeeper. "You My soul! it's Mr. Hungerford." It was what there was left of Mr. Hungerford. Mr. Ginn extended the disheveled, whimpering remnant at arm's length and regarded it. "Humph!" he grunted. "You know him, do you?" "Know him! Of course I do. But but I must say "
