To what end? May God be merciful to America while she answers the question! He sat, rubbing his cracked, bleeding feet, glancing stealthily at the southern hills. Beyond them lay all that was past; in an hour he would follow Lamar back to what? He lifted his hands up to the sky, in his silly way sobbing hot tears. "Gor-a'mighty, Mars' Lord, I'se tired," was all the prayer he made.
The earliest entry was scrawled in the plump, bulbous hand of a sixteen-year-old girl it was the name, Bob Lamar, and a word she could not decipher. Then she knew what it was and, knowing, she found her eyes misty with tears. There in a graying blur was the record of her first kiss, faded as its intimate afternoon, on a rainy veranda seven years before.
All the more sharply he was excited, near the year 1879, in Washington, by hearing Lamar begin a story after dinner, which, little by little, became dramatic, recalling the scene in the House of Commons. The story, as well as one remembered, began with Lamar's failure to reach St. Petersburg at all, and his consequent detention in Paris waiting instructions.
All told 'The Black Terror' is costing us a hundred thousand dollars over our original estimate. "And now" it seemed to me that Manton literally groaned "with Stella Lamar dead excuse me looking at it this way, but, after all, it is business and I'm the executive at the head of the company now we must find a new star, Lord knows where, and we must retake every scene in which Stella appeared.
And yet, it was not God's fault, surely, that there were such tools in the North, any more than that in the South Ben was Ben. Something was rotten in freer States than Denmark, he thought. One of the men went into the hedge, and brought out a child's golden ringlet as a trophy. Lamar glanced in, and saw the small face in its woollen hood, dimpled yet, though dead for days. He remembered it.
Senators Lamar and Butler, and Ransom and Hampton, were all in their seats, and on the sofa behind them were ex-Senators Gordon and Withers, and a dozen or more Democratic Representatives. After prayer had been offered and the President's proclamation had been read, Senator Pendleton offered a resolution declaring Mr. Bayard President pro tem.
"Shall I lift you up, Captain Lamar?" asked Dave Hall, who stood leaning on his rifle. He spoke in a subdued tone, Babylon being far off for the moment. Lamar dozed again before he could answer. "Don't try to move him, it is too late," said Dorr, sharply. The moonlight steeped mountain and sky in a fresh whiteness.
It was inconceivable that Stella Lamar, idol of the screen, beloved of millions, could have been taken from the world which worshiped her. I felt keenly for the district attorney. He was a portly little man of the sort prone to emphasize his own importance and so, true to type, he had been upset completely by a case of genuine magnitude.
No one of the newly elected Senators had been approached. It was not deemed necessary. It was not anticipated that any one of them would do otherwise than support the program that had been agreed upon by the older members of the Senate. Senator Morton was to submit the memorial and make the motion when the name of Mr. Lamar was called to take the oath of office.
As a matter of fact, if I had not been so confused yesterday by all the details of the case, by the many people involved, I would have noticed at a glance that the blood spots on the towel could not come from some one using it to wipe the needle. And any hypothesis that it had been used out in Tarrytown was ridiculous, because Miss Lamar was only scratched faintly and lost no blood.
