Ladd's statement that these contractions assist the ear in the judgment of absolute pitch has already been cited. Studien, 1895, Vol. Jour. Psych., 1900, Vol.
Morris"; she pleaded for permission to take her first lesson immediately; she clasped her hands "Please say Yes!" "I can't say Yes, till you have complied with the rules." "Are they your rules?" Her eyes expressed the readiest submission in that case. He entirely failed to see it: he said they were Miss Ladd's rules and wished her good-evening. She watched him, walking away down the terrace.
"I'm getting hungry, Emily. Is the new girl asleep?" The new girl answered promptly and spitefully, "No, she isn't." Having a private object of their own in view, the five wise virgins of Miss Ladd's first class had waited an hour, in wakeful anticipation of the falling asleep of the stranger and it had ended in this way! A ripple of laughter ran round the room.
"I followed you back to the school; and, on pretense of having a daughter to educate, I got one of Miss Ladd's prospectuses from the porter at the lodge gate. I was in your neighborhood, you must know, on a sketching tour. I went back to my inn, and seriously considered what had happened to me. The result of my cogitations was that I went abroad.
And Jim talked about what a grand thing that was. Ladd had a good deal to say about Belding's horses. It took no keen judge of human nature to see that horses constituted Ladd's ruling passion. "I've had wimmen go back on me, but never no hoss!" declared Ladd, and manifestly that was a controlling truth with him. "Shore it's a cinch Beldin' is agoin' to lose some of them hosses," he said.
The truth was, some inarticulate moral instinct made him know that there would come a time when he would have to see her... During all that winter, when he sat, night after night, at Miss Ladd's dinner table, and Eleanor fended off Miss Moore and the widow, or when, in those long evenings in their own room they played solitaire, he was thinking of Lily, thinking of that inner summons to what he called "decency," which would, he knew, drive him in three months in two months in one month! to Lily's door.
Curley and his partner, Haines, kept a small wholesale liquor store in one of the most populous, where all were populous, quarters of the East Side; also Curley had a pull as a ward politician, which might very readily account for Muggy Ladd's diffidence; and Curley was credited with doing a thriving business both ways as ward heeler and liquor purveyor.
The wretched creature had entirely forgotten her own loose talk, after she had drunk Miss Ladd's good wine to the last drop in the bottle. As she was boasting now of her piety, so she had boasted then of her lost faith and hope, and had mockingly declared her free-thinking opinions to be the result of her ill-assorted marriage. Forgotten all forgotten, in this later time of pain and fear.
I'll be ridin' the job early. That's all." Ladd's cool, easy speech was scarcely significant of the perilous undertaking. Lash moved very slowly away, leading his horse. The soft pads of hoofs ceased to sound about the time the gray shape merged into the black shadows. Then Ladd touched Dick's arm, and turned back up the trail. But Dick tarried a moment.
A shot from in front, a rip of bullet through the choya, a spat of something hitting Ladd's face, a steel missle hissing onward these inseparably blended sounds were all registered by Gale's sensitive ear. With a curse Ladd tumbled down into the hole. His face showed a great gray blotch, and starting blood. Gale felt a sickening assurance of desperate injury to the ranger.
