He pitched sideways, saving himself by grasping a projection with one hand; then, in his struggles to get up, both feet became entangled in the rope litter, and there he lay kicking and shouting to the girls to go after the unfortunate Hazel. Jane McCarthy already had got into action. Without an instant's hesitation she clambered down the rocks and made her way to the base of the mountain tree.
Monsieur X had of course honored the waiting world with a message. Who are ye that ye shall strive to take me? Vanity and foolishness is your portion. Now ye know my power and ye will listen unto my words as to the words of the Master. Ye must hunt down this man McCarthy and deliver him over unto me. If every one of you gives himself to the task, lo! it is quickly done.
There were four of these, couched in almost identical language. The fifth and last message was shorter: "McCarthy: Flee from the wrath to come. "What," said Darrow, "is to prevent the other operators who must have caught this message from giving it to the public? What, indeed, is to prevent M.'s appealing direct to the public?" "I don't know," confessed McCarthy miserably. "Do you?"
Sir Charles McCarthy saw that the day was lost, and that it would be but an inglorious sacrifice of his own staff, and the few soldiers that yet remained, to continue on the field. He, therefore, prepared to retire; but this resolution which, in the breast of so brave an officer, was slow to find a place was taken too late.
One was an old woman, whose name is not mentioned, and the other was William Crowder, a game-keeper in the employ of Mr. Turner. Both these witnesses depose that Mr. McCarthy was walking alone. The game-keeper adds that within a few minutes of his seeing Mr. McCarthy pass he had seen his son, Mr. James McCarthy, going the same way with a gun under his arm.
"Perhaps, if you would tell us where you wish to go, we might be of some assistance to you," suggested Jane McCarthy. "You can't get the secret from me, Jane," answered the guardian smilingly. "I am going to keep that little secret to myself at all costs. Don't tease me, for I shall not tell you." "It hath cotht a good deal already," piped Tommy. "Let me thee.
We must send messages back. The case is out of private hands; it has become important to the people. Will you agree on your honor faithfully to transmit?" He leaned forward, his indolent frame startlingly tense. "Are you afraid of McCarthy?" "He's been good to me it's a family matter," muttered the operator. "Well " Darrow arose, crossed to the operator, and whispered to him for a moment.
Somebody did hear, however; for at that moment, Frank Harness who had been told to go below along with McCarthy and Adams at midnight by the unfortunate captain, who said he would take the sole duty of the ship on himself until the morning watch was called rushed up the companion way on to the poop. "Did you call, Captain Dinks Mr Meldrum!" he cried, looking about and seeing nobody there.
Soon after the departure of General Sheridan's party, General Carr started out on a twenty days' scout, not so much for the purpose of fighting Indians, but more for the object of taking some friends on a hunt. His guests were a couple of Englishmen whose names I cannot now remember and Mr. McCarthy of New York, who was a relative of General Emory.
There was undisguised admiration in the eyes of Jane McCarthy. Not a sound could she hear from her companion, so silently did the latter move away. After Harriet had gone, Jane called down to her friends that she was going to move from the spot and that they should keep quiet. The hours passed slowly for Jane.
