I see the President is making himself very unpopular, Wolf I don't know why they all make it so hard for the poor man! Mrs. McCrea was in the market this morning " "If I win this game, Rose, by this time next year," Norma said, in an undertone, "you'll have " "Norma Sheridan!" "Yes, Aunt Kate!" "Do you want me to speak to you again?" "No, ma'am!"
Eph, not being a user of tobacco, went below to find that Doctor McCrea, from the gunboat, was sitting in the cabin, reading a book he had chosen from the book-case. "I've brought the young men around somewhat," reported the physician. "I've made them throw off the drug, and now I've left some stuff with the nurse to help brace them up.
"I'm betting you'll find him at the yards till after No. 2 comes in the Flyer that's due at 12.40." And so it happened that, as the clocks were pointing to the quarter after midnight, Lieutenant Ralph McCrea and the newly appointed subaltern, both in plain travelling dress, once more appeared at the Union Station, and presently learned that Mr. Anthony was about the yard.
"How?" inquired Doctor McCrea, looking up with interest. "Why, I'd " Jack hesitated, glancing in the direction of the gunboat's commanding officer. "I I guess I had better go and see how the midshipmen are coming on," muttered Mr. Mayhew, rising. Yet there was a twinkle in his eye as he turned away. For some minutes Jack Benson talked with Doctor McCrea.
McCrea might feel more like laughing, if it weren't for the fact that his brother officers insist on doing his laughing for him," chuckled the admiral. The talk now turned upon the "Pollard's" construction, which the inventor explained, while Jacob Farnum threw in a few words now and then. Captain Jack had the good taste to remain silent during this discussion.
And on the side, I expect, he does plain and fancy spyin', eh?" "We should be much interested to have you furnish proof of that," says McCrea. "What we suspect, however, is something slightly different. We believe that the place is rather a clearing house for spy information. News seems to reach there and to leave there. What we wish to know is, how." "Had anyone on the inside?" I asks.
"There are some men, pressing back astern, yet seemingly not wholly liking to risk revolver fire," went on Commander Ennerling. "I don't believe I can make out all the mutineers, from this point of view." "What shall we do, sir, when we get alongside?" "Quell the mutiny," retorted Commander Ennerling, with emphasis. "It's the one choice a Naval officer has in a case of this sort. Briscoe! McCrea!"
The question where Rose and Rodney were going to live after their lease on the McCrea house ended, had begun to press for an answer. October first was when the lease expired and it wasn't far from the date at which they expected the baby. Rose wouldn't be in any condition for house hunting during the hot summer months. Things would have to be settled somehow before then.
Let me give you a pointer you've got a West Pointer. I've known you for a square man ever since we were stationed at Russell," and, linking his arm in that of the astonished official, McCrea drew him a few paces away from the point where they found him, with a great passenger-engine hissing and throbbing close at hand, waiting to take the Flyer whirling eastward toward the Missouri.
And by the twinkle in Old Hickory's eye I can see he's enjoyin' it just as much as McCrea. Nothing partial about the boss. His sympathies are always with the good performer. And rather than let this top-liner sleuth put it over me so easy I takes a chance on shootin' a little more bull. "Oh, if you're goin' to feel bad over it," says I, "course I got to help you out.
