"I'd look pretty, wouldn't I, going to old MacBride with my tail between my legs, telling him that the job was too much for me and I couldn't get it done on time. He'd look me over and say: 'Bannon, you're a liar. You've never had to lay down yet, and you don't now. Go back and get that job done before New Year's or I'll shoot you."
Bannon's next move was to write to Minneapolis for information and instructions, but MacBride, who seemed to have all the information there was, happened to be in Duluth, and Brown's instructions were consequently foggy. So, after waiting a few days for something more definite, Bannon disappeared one afternoon and was gone more than an hour.
On the twenty-second of November Bannon received this telegram: MR. CHARLES BANNON, care of MacBride & Company, South Chicago: We send to-day complete drawings for marine tower which you will build in the middle of spouting house. Harahan Company are building the Leg. Bannon read it carefully, folded it, opened it and read it again, then tossed it on the desk.
But Dr. MacBride never thought once of the lives of these waifs. Like himself, like all mankind, they were invisible dots in creation; like him, they were to feel as nothing, to be swept up in the potent heat of his faith. So he thrust out to them none of the sweet but all the bitter of his creed, naked and stern as iron.
No, if MacBride & Company offer you a holiday, the best thing you can do is to grab it, and run, and saw off the telegraph poles behind you. And you couldn't be sure of yourself then." He turned the letter over in his hand. "I might go up on the St. Lawrence," he went on. "That's the only place for spending the winter that ever struck me." "Isn't it pretty cold?" "It ain't so bad.
Rumors of the way things were going at Calumet under the hands of his younger co-laborer had reached Bannon, and he was not greatly surprised when MacBride told him to go to Chicago Sunday night and supersede Peterson.
Send the bill to MacBride. I knew your name would go down and mine wouldn't." The delay had proved costly, and it was half-past seven before they reached the Manistogee hotel. "Now," said Bannon, "we'll have time to rub down the mare and feed her before I'm ready to go back." Sloan stared at him for a moment in unfeigned amazement. Then slowly he shook his head. "All right, I'm no quitter.
And Philip Cabot collects U.S. Martials, flintlock to automatic, and also enemy and Allied Army weapons from all our wars. And Colin MacBride collects nothing but Colts. Odd how a Scot, who's only been in this country twenty years, should become interested in so distinctively American a type."
They ain't happy except when they've just put me in a hole and told me to climb out. Generally before I'm out they pick me up and chuck me down another one. Old MacBride wouldn't think the Company was prosperous if I wasn't working nights and Sundays." "You won't be doing that down here." "I don't know about that. Why, when I first went to work for 'em, they hired me by the day.
I'm willing to bet that thing simply shoved the whole electron system of the mercury out a notch that it simply hasn't any K-ring of electrons now. I'm trying some other metals. Douglass is going to have MacBride make up half a dozen more machines. Machines they need a name. This ah this is an 'atostor. MacBride's going to make up half a dozen of 'em, and try half a dozen metals.
