And that means that everything we do at Lima will be watched and reported." "Reported to whom?" asked Leroy. "Probably to this military person, Senor Lopez, who is on the job with both hands out," suggested Jimmie. "Well? What about it?" "I think," Leroy cut in, "that we'd better be getting out of this. They can't follow us after we get up in the air."
You have taken the liberty to assume I was going to sell you out. I'll not stand that from any man alive. To-morrow night I'll get back from Tucson. We'll dig up the loot and divide it. And right then we quit company. You go your way and I go mine." And with that as a parting shot, Leroy turned on his heel and went direct to his horse.
Then he shook himself from his unaccustomed reverie; Adrien Leroy, the popular idol of fashionable society, was not given long to introspection. "What next?" he asked himself. It was Norgate who answered the unspoken query, by announcing that the motor was at the door. As Adrien descended the stairs, Jasper Vermont entered the hall below him. "Ah, just in time!" he said with his amicable smile.
They were more varied, to be sure, than those of an errand-boy, or shop-boy, but even a telegraph messenger does not have an adventure every day. Twice in the next three weeks our hero was summoned by Mrs. Leroy to give her pet dog an airing. It was not hard work, but Frank did not fancy it, though he never failed to receive a handsome fee from the mistress of Fido.
An awkward silence ensued, when Leroy, pressing her hand, exclaimed: "This is the hand that plucked me from the grave, and I am going to retain it as mine; mine to guard with my care until death us do part." Leroy looked earnestly into her eyes, which fell beneath his ardent gaze.
"Miss Leroy, you have a large and rich experience; you possess a vivid imagination and glowing fancy. Write, out of the fullness of your heart, a book to inspire men and women with a deeper sense of justice and humanity." "Doctor," replied Iola, "I would do it if I could, not for the money it might bring, but for the good it might do. But who believes any good can come out of the black Nazareth?"
This may be true of him at some stage of the proceedings, but when he is looking for a spot at which to let fly an arrow, he could play schoolmaster to Argus, of the many eyes. Ensal and Earl departed, Ensal going home to live the evening over through the night, while Earl called upon Leroy Crutcher and engaged him to use Tiara Merlow as a clue to trace the unknown young woman.
He may be very frank, but he doesn't tell all one thinks. Now I know where he gets his nice manner. I ought to have recognized the Harvard finish." "When did you last hear from the D'Allois?" asked Miss Leroy. "Not since they sailed," said Peter, wincing internally. "Not really?" said the bridesmaid. "Surely you've heard of the baby?" "No."
When Miss Leroy was married, and first as an elderly woman became known to me, she was very inconsequential in her opinions, or at least appeared so to our eyes. She must have been much more so when she was younger. In our town we were all formed upon recognised patterns, and those who possessed any one mark of the pattern, had all.
His companion trembled with suppressed eagerness. "What do you meant?" she exclaimed. "Can you prevent it?" "I both can and will," was the quiet answer. "But, come, let us seek a more retired spot."
