"I am faint and giddy," she said; "let me go to my bed." Miss Ladd instantly followed her. "Pray forgive me! I didn't see you were ill, when I spoke," she gently explained. "What can I do for you?" "Thank you kindly, ma'am. I want nothing but peace and quiet. I wish you good-night." Alban followed Miss Ladd to her study, on the front side of the house.
If they recognized him as a ranger comrade of Ladd and Lash, if they got a glimpse of Blanco Sol, then Gale would have no chance. These Mexicans had evidently been at the well some time. Their horses being in the corral meant that grazing had been done by day. Gale revolved questions in mind. Had this trio of outlaws run across Ladd?
Flake's location was considered best for a townsite and to it was given the name it now bears, honoring the visiting dignitary and the founder. The townsite was surveyed soon thereafter by Samuel G. Ladd of St. Joseph, who also laid out several ditch lines. Even before there was a town, there was a birth, that of William Taylor Gale, son of James Gale.
Ladd cast a sharp glance at Gale, snapped his fingers, and said: "Damn me if I ain't guessed it, too!" "What's wrong with you locoed gents?" bluntly demanded Belding. "Nell has slipped away on Sol," answered Dick. There was a blank pause, which presently Belding broke. "Well, that's all right, if Nell's on him. I was afraid we'd lost the horse."
The Guardian and Violet hastened down toward the main boat landing while the other twelve girls waited eagerly for a successful report on this part of the proposed program. Miss Ladd and Violet returned in about twenty minutes and reported that satisfactory arrangements had been made for a trip up the lake. They were to start in an hour and a half.
I stupidly forgot that you would be able to give me the right address in Switzerland. You don't object, I hope, to my making myself agreeable to our dear, beautiful, greedy girl? It is of such importance to me to surround myself with influential friends and, of course, I have given her your love. Don't look disgusted! Come, and see your room. Oh, never mind Miss Ladd.
Mrs. Ladd came over to him and put her hand on his arm and said, "That's splendid. We'll all go up to the ballroom and dance." And they did. And Buzz, who had learned to dance at places like Kearney's saloon, and at the mill shindigs, glided expertly about with Joyce Ladd of Madison Avenue, and found himself seated in a great cushioned window-seat, talking with her about Kipling.
"All my double rooms are filled." "Isn't 36 a double room?" Katherine inquired. "Yes, but it's occupied. I just sent a man up there." "Excuse the question," Miss Ladd said curiously; "but why did you put one person in a double room when it was the only double room you had and there were vacant single rooms in the house?"
Soda crackers put in the stove to get hot and brown, and the oysters poured over them, are very nice. From MRS. MIRA B. F. LADD, of New Hampshire, Lady Manager. Parboil one pint of oysters in their own liquor until they are plump. Drain thoroughly and have your cracker crumbs and white sauce ready.
When Belding and Gale hurried forth again the rangers were tending the tired horses. Upon returning to the house Jim Lash calmly lit his pipe, and Ladd declared that, hungry as he was, he had to tell his story. "Shore, Beldin'," began Ladd, "that was funny about Diablo catchin' Blanco Sol. Funny ain't the word. I nearly laughed myself to death. Well, I rode in Sol's tracks all the way to Casita.
