This was the only side of the rug question we ever heard in our office until Miss Larrabee came; then she told us that one of the first requirements of a howling dervish was to be able to quote from Priscilla Winthrop's Rug book from memory. The Rug book, the China book and the Old Furniture book were the three sacred scrolls of the sect. All this was news to us.
The danger was over; the Larrabee trick had failed; he must go to bed now, and in the morning they would make a search together. At the same time she had inwardly resolved to rise before him and make another search of the wood, and perhaps fearful joy as she recalled her promise! find Jack alive and well, awaiting her! Salomy Jane slept little that night, nor did her father.
"'Wa'al, he says, givin' a hitch, 'of course I don't know jest what I would have said, but I guess, he says, ''t I'd 'a' said if you'll make it one-fifty you c'n have the hoss. "'Wa'al, now, I says, 's'posin' I was to send Dick Larrabee up here in the mornin' with the money, what do you s'pose you'd do? "'I s'pose I'd let him go, says 'Lizer. "'All right, I says, an' off I put.
Ham whistled his favorite air as he went through all the letters in the pigeon-holes, from A to Z. He did not find it, and Miss Larrabee was in despair. She had made all her preparations to visit "Jim's folks," and had intended to start that day. "It's a shame!" exclaimed she. "I know Ethan sent the letter. He wouldn't play no sech trick on me.
The girls who crossed on the boys' backs weren't considered quite proper by the girls who were carried over in the boys' arms. And they didn't dance in the same set." Miss Larrabee says she looked into the elder woman's eyes to find which crowd Aunt Martha belonged to, when she flashed out: "Oh, child, you needn't look at me I did both; it depended on who was looking!
This cost him the goodwill of the preachers, and he gave a Japanese garden party for the Epworth League to restore himself in the church where he was accustomed to pass the plate on Sundays. Miss Larrabee used to call him the first aid to the ennuied. But the Young Prince, who chased runaways teams and wrote personal items, never referred to him except as "Queen of the Hand-holders."
But when I think of him as Larrabee Harman, I am full of misgivings." "Louise isn't," she put in eagerly, and with something oddly like the manner of argument. "His wife isn't!" "Oh, I know. Perhaps one reason is that she never saw him at quite his worst. I did.
"Hasn't that letter come yet, Captain Fishley?" asked an ancient maiden lady, who entered the store while I was polishing Ham's boots. "I haven't seen anything of it yet, Miss Larrabee," replied the postmaster. "Dear me! What shall I do!" exclaimed the venerable spinster. "My brother, down in Ohio, promised to send me forty dollars; and I want the money awfully.
However, the remark had been made more to himself than to me and I did not respond. The morning papers flared once more with the name of Larrabee Harman, and we read that there was "no hope of his surviving." Ironic phrase! There was not a soul on earth that day who could have hoped for his recovery, or who for his sake cared two straws whether he lived or died.
"Ef it was that sneak Larrabee, and he fired them shots to lure me out, he might have potted me, without a show, a dozen times in the last five minutes." She had not thought since of her father's enemy! It might indeed have been he who had attacked Jack. But she made a quick point of the suggestion. "Run in, dad, run in and find the gun; you've got no show out here without it."
