A cheeky gopher, exploring about the door of her tent, ventured in, and, sitting bolt upright, sent his shrill whistle boldly forth. She watched his fine bravery for a minute, then clapped her hands together, and laughed as he fled. "Therein we have the figures of both Transley and Linder," she mused to herself. "Upright, Transley; horizontal, Linder.
"If Linder is his name," Whistler said, when the boys were afterward talking it over among themselves, "I hope I'll see him again some time. He was never blown up with the dam, that is sure." "You don't think he was 'hoist with his own petard, then?" suggested Torry. "Hear the high-brow!" sniffed Frenchy. "Oi, oi!" cried Ikey. "He means was he blown up, too? I bet not!"
He was one of the most eloquent of the gifted Whig leaders of the State when the list included such names as Lincoln, Stuart, Hardin, Browning, Baker, and Linder. He was the earnest champion of General Zachary Taylor for the Presidency in 1848, and his party devotion was rewarded by appointment to the commissionership of the General Land Office. The only appointment for which Mr.
It was a chance if the line was not out of business, but he lifted the receiver and listened to the thump of his heart as he waited. Presently came a voice as calm and still as though it spoke from another world, "Number?" He gave the number of Linder's rooms in town; it was likely Linder had remained in town, but it was a question whether the telephone bell would waken him.
He was finding progress so much easier than he had expected. It was evident that he had made a tremendous hit with Y.D.'s daughter. What a story to tell Linder! What would Transley say? He was shaking with excitement. "It's an awful hard life," he went on, "an' there comes a time, Miss, when a man wants to quit it. There comes a time when every decent man wants to settle down.
Linder admired as he was directed, and then the two men fell into a discussion of business matters. Eventually Grant cooked supper, and just as they had finished Mrs. Transley drove up in her motor. "Here we are!" she cried, cheerily. "Glad to see you, Mr. Linder. Wilson has his teddy-bear and his knife and his pyjamas, and is a little put out, I think, that I wouldn't let him bring the pig."
But why this sudden worry over me? I was merely spending the evening at a neighbor's." "Yes at Transley's. Transley was in town, and Mrs. Transley is not responsible where you are concerned." "Linder!" "I saw it all that night at dinner there. Some things are plain to everyone except those most involved.
"I don't figure you're exactly serious, Dad, in your talk about Transley. You're just feeling out. Well let me do a little feeling out. How about Linder?" "Linder's all right," Y.D. replied. "Better than the average, I admit. But he's not the man Transley is. If he was, he wouldn't be workin' for Transley. You can't keep a man down, Zen, if he's got the goods in him.
The idea of either Transley or Linder thinking he could gallop home with HER! For the moment she forgot to do Linder the justice of remembering that nothing was further from his thoughts. She would show them. She would make a race of it ALMOST to the wire. In the home stretch she would make the leap, out and over the fence. She was in it for the race, not for the finish.
At the end of an hour's talk Arbuthnot, alias Ransom, agreed to everything that Average Jones proposed. "Mind you," he said, "I don't promise I won't kill him later. But meantime it'll be some satisfaction to put him down and out politically. You can find me here any time you want me. You say you'll see Linder to-morrow?" "To-morrow," said Average Jones.
