The island offered an ideal retreat for one bent on shunning his own kind, if he did not object to the close proximity of a restive volcano. Clearly, Leavitt did not. He had a scientific interest in the phenomena exhibited by volcanic regions and was versed in geological lore, but the rumours about Leavitt practically no one ever visited Muloa did not stop at that.
Master Leavitt gives me great encouragement in regard to advancing the money, but stipulates that he shall be made a partner in the enterprise, you to pay him interest on the entire amount until your debt of one-half is discharged."
An elderly man had charge of it a Mr. Parmenter. "Can I take out a book?" asked Harry. "Do you live in town?" "Yes, sir." "I don't remember seeing you before. You don't live in this village, do you?" "No, sir. I live in the lower village." "What is your name?" "Harry Walton." "I don't remember any Walton family." "My father lives in Granton. I am working for Mr. James Leavitt."
But there was then one thing which has now ceased: in many of the greater hotels public prayers were held every evening, some eminent clergyman officiating; and a leader in these services was David Leavitt, a famous New York bank president, shrewd, but pious.
Old Branscomb is goin' home tea-ed up reg'lar, and Al Leavitt and Pud Follansby and a half a dozen others are settin' there all times of night, playin' cards and makin' a reg'lar ha'nt of it. If Ferd ain't shet up it will be said" the constable looked into the snapping eyes of the first selectman and halted apprehensively.
There aren't any berries around here to pick, and Dad won't let me hunt centipedes and scorpions to sell for specimens, like the boys do. Jack Leavitt has earned more than ten dollars that way. Jimmy Gates kills rattlesnakes for pay, but I'm afraid to do that, and I suppose Dad would object to that, too. There is really nothing on the desert that a girl can do to earn money."
Simonds, that's certain," and the Major thrummed upon the table as he spoke. "Why, it would take a regiment to do any good, and I have barely fifty men in all. But I am going to send him a supply of guns and ammunition. They must go on the Polly, and you are to give Leavitt strict instructions to see that they are delivered to Davidson as speedily as possible. That is the best I can do."
Leavitt as a source of information regarding the missing Farquharson seemed preposterous when one reflected how out of touch with the world he had been, but, to my astonishment, Major Stanleigh's clue was right, for he had at last stumbled upon a man who had known Farquharson well and who was voluminous about him quite willingly so.
It was a bizarre and preposterous intimacy, in which Leavitt seemed to find a wholly acceptable substitute for human society, and there was something repellant about the man's eccentricity.
Harry took the bank note with secret self-congratulation, for he had given up the debt as bad, and never expected to realize a cent of it. "I am glad to get it," he said. "I have a use for all my money. Are you working in this town?" "Yes. The shoe business is carried on here considerably. Are you still working for Mr. Leavitt?" "No; I've left him." "What are you doing, then?"
