"Fill her up with the same!" he ordered loudly, looking suddenly, and for the first time, very much like the rough-looking customer who had tackled Peter Maginnis in defense of his dog. "An' I'll have you know, Mister Ryan I'll have you know, my fine, big, bouncin' buck, that Jim Hackley ain't afeared of anythink that walks." Ryan filled her up again, though this time more conservatively.
Millard proceeded in a straightforward, businesslike voice, "Tell me, please, what Mrs. Maginnis had to do with Miss Callender's faith-cures?" "Her relation to them came about through Mrs. Frankland." "No doubt," said Millard; "I expected to find her clever hand in it." The mordant tone in which this was said disconcerted Mrs. Hilbrough.
Maginnis did not appear disconcerted in the least. He began speaking with a pertinence and ease which rather surprised his friend Varney down in the audience, and with words which instantly let the dullest know that something unusual was taking place.
The speaker was resuming, not yet through with his tributes. His eye flitting over the shouting crowd had fallen upon a face. "I know that both honesty and logic were on the side which Mr. Maginnis, coming here a stranger, elected to support. But honesty does not always make a winning cause, nor does logic. What I may call sympathy is often better than both. The splendid help that we got from Mr.

'It's an honest fact that I gave up the chase because I felt all along that you two fellows couldn't possibly be mixed up in anything underhanded. Aha! thinks me to myself ... Eh, Laurence?" "Just exactly." "Well, cheer up. It's done every day by our best families.
"From Mrs. Maginnis Mrs. California Maginnis," she added for the sake of explicitness and with an impulse to relax the tension of Millard's mind by playfulness. "Mrs. Maginnis?" he said with something like a start. "How does Mrs. Maginnis know anything about what takes place in Mackerelville?"
"I'll interdooce myself to 'em!" said Hackley savagely. "And whoever says that Maginnis licked me's a liar. You hear me? Tripped my toe on a rock, I did, and banged all the sense outen my head " "I understand, Jim," interrupted Ryan suavely. "Just what I told the boys. O' course, just between you an me, I have been kinder took by surprise that you've waited so long to get your evens.
How he obscured his lieutenants, though they themselves loomed large and serious, blue of chin and important of mien, with hands buried deep in the pockets of their short overcoats! But Billy oh, what small avail are words to paint for you his glory as seen by Ikey Snigglefritz! The Cafe Maginnis rang to the note of victory.
To this shrinking the revolt of her taste against such getters-on as Miss Bowyer had contributed, for her mind was after all that of a young woman, and in a young woman's mind taste is likely to go for more than logic.
