I didn't figure it would do any good to tell Mannix I'd taken in the show, an' I was on my way to the desert. I'd be there now if Carlisle hadn't overstepped the mark in that Red Feather place." Sautee pricked up his ears. "You let them arrest you," he said. "Why " "Because I knew Mannix didn't know who I was an' didn't have anything on me," said Rathburn quickly.
Maybe he didn't feel sure of it, and maybe he's just naturally jealous of The Coyote and wants to bring him in himself. Carlisle is a gunman, as you know, and a good one." "I know it," snapped out Mannix; "and I know both Carlisle an' you are a pair of bunglers. I guess you wanted to show me up, but you've gone about it in a way that won't get you anything nor hurt me, I'll see to that."
Dupré spoke warmly of the tone of the house, that indefinable quality which in the eyes of a faithful schoolmaster is more precious than rubies. It was Mannix, prefect and member of the lower sixth, who more than any one else deserved credit for the fact that Edmonstone stood second to no house in the school in the matter of tone.
It's quite a jolly thing to do." It was a thing which Frank Mannix was quite determined not to do. The suggestion that he should behave in such a way struck him as "cheeky" in a very high degree. A lower schoolboy in Edmondstone House, if he had ventured to speak in such a way, would have been beaten with a fives bat. But Priscilla was a girl and, as Frank understood, girls are not beaten.
She was smiling faintly through her tears when he slipped out. Deputy Sheriff Mannix was sitting in his little office alone. It was nearly sunset. A faint glow of crimson shot across the carpet. Mannix was scowling thoughtfully. On the desk before him were two pieces of paper.
Mannix, one of the earliest to depart, went off from the midst of a group of admirers. It was understood by his friends that he was to spend the summer fishing in the west of Ireland salmon fishing. There would be grouse shooting too. Mannix had mentioned casually a salmon rod and a new gun. Happy Mannix! The west of Ireland is a remote region, wild no doubt, half barbarous perhaps. Even Mr.
The Dixie Queen people and most of the other mines are fighting the present county administration as a matter of policy. They want certain changes, and well, keep this to yourself privileges. Mannix has been instructed by the sheriff of this county that he is not here to act as a guard for the Dixie Queen. See?" Rathburn frowned and built another cigarette.
"It's hot water," he said, "that's best for the like of that." "It could be," said the ticket-collector, "that it's broke on him." "Cold water," said Mannix firmly. "With a sup of whiskey in it," said the attendant "If it's broke," said the ticket-collector, "and you go putting whiskey and water on it it's likely that the young gentleman will be lame for life."
Mannix turned on Carlisle with a scowl, and Carlisle shrugged impatiently, his eyes still glaring balefully at Rathburn. The deputy again confronted Rathburn. "Had your supper?" he asked. "Best steak I've had in two months," Rathburn replied cheerfully. "Horse taken care of?" "First thing." There was a note of derision in Rathburn's tone. "Service at the hotel barn is high grade."
"Christian Science," said Frank bitterly, "wouldn't be of any use if you kept it for centuries. What's the use of saying a thing isn't swelled when it is?" A night's rest restored self-respect to Frank Mannix. He felt when his clothes were brought to him in the morning by a respectful footman that he had to some extent sacrificed his dignity in his confidential talk with Priscilla the day before.
