If you'll accept an invite from the hangee I'll be glad to have you stay an' " "Hanging him? What for? What's he done?" Tom Reeves found his voice. "He's the fellow done dirt to the li'l' Tolliver girl, ma'am. We've had a kinda trial an' " "Fiddlesticks!" interrupted the woman. She swept the group with an appraising eye. "I'm surprised to see you in this, Larson. Thought you had more sense.
"Boss, she's at the Larson; one of these boarding houses that calls themselves a name. Didn't I tell you Injun charms was strong? Tell me! Huh!" "All right, Jonas! I won't be home to dinner. Better sit up for me though, for I'll want to talk to you." "Did I ever not sit up for you?" demanded Jonas as he gave Enoch his coat.
Finally the former army man announced that the craft was ready for a flight. He had spent all the money Uncle Ezra would give him nearly ten thousand dollars and I suspect that Larson himself had lined his own pockets well. "She's ready," he announced to Uncle Ezra, one day. "Well, take her up." "Will you come?" "Not till I see how you fare. Go ahead."
"When my gyroscope worked fairly well, I presume Lieutenant Larson was professionally jealous. At any rate he, left me, and I am glad of it." "But he was around our workshop just before we made this last flight!" insisted Jack. "He came in pretending he had left some of his important drawings behind when he went away, but I noticed that he hung around the airship a good bit.
When Josie was included in the conversation Chester Hunt turned and looked at her curiously. In a spirit of mischief Josie assumed the dull expression she had used as the Swedish servant girl and looked at her one-time master with dull and fishy eyes. "By heavens, Miss Josie Larson!" he exclaimed. "What are you doing here?" "I bane dining with Captain and Mrs. Waller, sir."
With a sweet, almost motherly movement, Matt Larson curled his arm around the boy at his side. They at least would face death together. But the Indian was crawling slowly, silently up towards them, closer, closer. At last the slim, brown fingers touched Larry's shoulder, and the soft Chippewa voice whispered: "Larry, Jack, wake! See, see, the great thing I got. I got his revolver.
"You've learned it very well indeed," he said with a nod of dismissal to Olga, as Rose came up. "Don't try to change it. Stick to what you've got." Then, to Rosa, "Larson tells me you taught her. How did you do it?" "Why, I just taught her," said Rosa. "I showed her how I said each line, and I kept on showing her until she could do it." "How long did it take you all night?"
"Gave it to you! Where in the name of goodness has it been since?" "In the little cupboard in my room, behind the books." "Great snakes!" muttered Perry Larson, reaching out his hand and gingerly picking up one of the gold-pieces. David eyed him anxiously. "Won't they do?" he faltered. "There aren't a thousand; there's only a hundred and six; but " "Do!" cut in the man, excitedly.
And all the while he was a director and she was a chorus-girl and an unyielding etiquette of their respective professions forbade a word of human intercourse between them! He had violated it, as both of them had been aware, when he shook hands with her and thanked her for having taught Olga Larson to talk.
She sighed. "The idea!" Aunt Samantha murmured. "Goin' up in an airship. You'll fall and be killed, as sure as fate." "That's what I was afraid of first," said Uncle Ezra, "and I didn't want to go into the scheme. But this young feller, Lieutenant Larson, he proved to me different. They can't fall. If your engine stops all you got to do is to come down like a feather.
