Oh, I guess she comforted him quite some." M'Ginnis stared before him, worrying his nails with sharp white teeth. "Ravenslee's a well man again, I hear, an' they're honeymoonin' at his place on the Hudson devotion ain't the word, Bud! 'S funny," said Soapy, "but th' bullet as downed this guy drove Hermy into his arms. 'S funny, ain't it, Bud?"
"So we kinder want t' know," continued M'Ginnis, heedless always of those baleful watching eyes, "we just want t' get on t' how you " "Oh, say give it a rest!" cried Spike desperately. "Give it a rest, can't ye?" "Why, then, Kid, what about comin' over t' O'Rourke's t'night?" Spike wrung his hands. "If Hermy finds out, she'll cry, I guess "
Half-stunned by a blow from Joe's mighty fist, M'Ginnis saw Heine felled by Spider, who, having promptly and scientifically kicked him unconscious, snatched the revolver from his lax fingers and turned to pursue. As he came M'Ginnis fired rapidly but, dazed by the blow, his aim was wild, so he turned and ran, with the Spider in hot pursuit.
"Why, every one's beginnin' t' notice as they're always meetin' on th' stairs an' him goin' into her flat, an' them talkin' an' laughin' together when you're out o' th' way ah," growled M'Ginnis, between grinding white teeth, "an' likely as not kissin' an' squeezin' in corners " "That's enough that's enough!" cried the boy, fronting M'Ginnis, fierce-eyed.
Ravenslee's voice was soft and pleasant as usual, but before the burning ferocity of his eyes, the merciless line of that grim, implacable mouth, before all the hush and deadly purpose of him, the loud hectoring of M'Ginnis seemed a thing of no account.
Miners lay in wait for Billy with a "greenhorn," or new-comer, whom they would put up to challenge the animal by some indiscreet gesture. In this way hardly a cartload of "pay-gravel" ever arrived safely at its destination, and the unfortunate M'Ginnis was compelled to withdraw Billy as a beast of burden.
"An' now," said M'Ginnis, leaning against a corner of the desk, "sit down here, nice an' close, an' write that letter there's pen an' ink an' paper an' quick about it or by " M'Ginnis sprang up and turned as the glass of the window splintered to fragments, and, almost with the crash, Ravenslee leapt a fierce twist, a vicious wrench, and the deadly weapon had changed hands.
I know as you're always hangin' around her flat, and if Hermy don't care about losing her good name " Even as Ravenslee's long arm shot out, M'Ginnis side-stepped the blow, and Ravenslee found himself staring into the muzzle of a revolver. "Ah I thought so!" he breathed, and shrank away. "Kind of alters things, don't it?" enquired M'Ginnis, hoarse and jeering.
But Ravenslee strode along in silence, and the Spider, heeding the pale, set ferocity of his expression, grew troubled. "Say," said he at last, "this don't happen t' be th' night as you've fixed up t' smash th' gang, does it?" "No only M'Ginnis." "S'posin' he ain't at O'Rourke's?" "He'll be somewhere else." "Bo, if I was your ma, I should be prayin' you don't find Bud, yes, sir!
And lo! within this gloom the woodpecker was before them a most persistent bird, this, tap-tapping louder than ever, whereat Hermione, seized of sudden terror, struggled in his embrace and, pointing upward, cried aloud, and was gone from him. Then, looking where she had pointed, he beheld no woodpecker, but the hated face of Bud M'Ginnis
