"I laugh still," said Mrs. Landis, "when people say what a lot of work so many children make. In many ways, like sewing and cookin' for them they do, but in other ways they are a big help to me and to each other. If I had just one now I'd have to dress it, but with so many they help the littler ones and all I got to do is tell them what to do. It don't hurt them to work a little.
Gleason from Gleasonton?" exclaimed Min. "Why, I thought she had no children." "She hasn't but she adopts them annually. During July and August we had a dozen babies at their home. We went for them in the morning and took them back at night, and I gave each one of them a bath every day." This last was said triumphantly. "I've heard she was rather eccentric!" said Landis.
He saw Jack Landis, threatened him with death, and made Jack swear that he would hand over half of the profits of the mines to the gang of which, I suppose, Lester gets his due proportion. At the same time, Lord Nick attempted to persuade Jack that I, his adopted father, you might say, was really in the wrong, and that I had stolen the claims from this wretched Lester!"
Landis turned to Amanda "Now you stay a while and hear our new pieces on the Victrola." "I'll help you with the dishes," she offered. "Ach, no, it ain't necessary. Mary and I will get them done up in no time. You just go in the room and enjoy yourself." With little Katie leading the way and Martin following Amanda went to the sitting-room and sat down while Martin opened the Victrola.
"Yes, thank you," nodded Miss Landis coolly; "you may go now." "You're spoiled, that's what's the matter," retorted Ferrall wrathfully. "I thought I was to have this dance. You said " "I said 'perhaps, because I didn't see Mr. Plank coming to claim it. Thank you, Kemp, for finding him." Her nod and smile took the edge from her malice.
From the crowd there was a deep breath. And then Landis was seen to raise the muzzle of his gun again, and crouch over it, leveling it straight at Donnegan. He, at least, would send his bullet straight to the mark when that first chime went humming through the big room. But Donnegan? He made his last play to shatter the nerve of Landis.
Jasper went down the stairs and on the way he remembered a letter received from Yarnall a long time before. He remembered it with an accession of alarm. "I've probably let hell loose for your protégée, Jane; given your address, and incidentally hers, to a fellow who wants her pretty badly. His name's Pierre Landis. You're a pretty good judge of white men. Size him up and do what's best for Jane."
And then Donnegan skirted around the room and came to the table of Jack Landis at the very moment when the latter was tossing a gold piece to the waiter and giving a new order. Prodigal sons in the distance of thought are apt to be both silly: and disgusting, but at close hand they usually dazzle the eye. Even the cold brain of Donnegan was daunted a little as he drew near.
The country is a rolling plain, densely overgrown with small wood, with one or two streams running through it; with water obtainable at from fifteen to thirty feet every where, and perfectly healthy. Mr. Landis took possession in August, 1861, and at once began to develop the land according to his own ideas.
So far as I know, she has a very even temper, and is more than generous with all her possessions. She isn't selfish." "I can plainly see why Maud has another roommate. Of course you all do. It does seem a little hard." Here Landis' manner grew important. Her head was raised, and her lips curled. "But those of us who have a high sense of honor would not care to room with Miss O'Day.
