"That is," continued the other as an afterthought, "McGinnis and I. I don't suppose he can be kept quiet." Wilbur grinned. "But he usually knows what he is talking about, I should think," he hazarded. "He does on lumber."
"In some ways this fellow has talent," said Billy Hudgens, as he looked in on McGinnis later; "but like enough he's come to a show-down now." Until noon the next day McGinnis slept soundly. Then he sat up on the floor. "How're you feelin' now, man?" asked Billy Hudgens.
The gentility of our neighbor suffered a blight from the unwholesome vicinity of McGinnis Court. This court was a kind of cul de sac that, on being penetrated, discovered a primitive people living in a state of barbarous freedom, and apparently spending the greater portion of their lives on their own door-steps.
You ought to get fifteen dollars out of it, anyhow. And it'll cost you only about four dollars. You'll make a clear profit of eleven." "How will it cost me four dollars?" I asked, suspiciously. "One dollar to Mrs. McGinnis," Tripp answered, promptly, "and two dollars to pay the girl's fare back home." "And the fourth dimension?" I inquired, making a rapid mental calculation.

"Put the men in your cars, Chief," said McGinnis, "and smash your way through. They can't stop you." "Yes, and kill a dozen or so," said the Chief. "Why not? Aren't they breaking the law?"

To-morrow we'd be sorry for it."
"But for revenge?" "A Frenchy pea-jammer isn't goin' to lose any dollars unless he has to," said McGinnis. "I don't think you need to be afraid of that." Then, following along the train of thought that had been suggested, he told the boy some lurid stories of life in the lumber camps of Michigan and Wisconsin in the early days.

But ye don't know Biddy McGinnis ye don't! If yees wants to go paceable, pay the dollar and a half. But until this is done, ye shall not cross my door-stone." "I can't stay here! What good will it do?" said Mrs. Lane, wringing her hand. "It's all the money I've got; and remaining won't increase the sum, while it adds to the debt. Better let me go now." "Indade, and ye'll not go, thin, my lady!
"The unions will take an Arbitration Committee, which the employers decline to give, but they will not ask for a Conciliation Board." "My governor says it's a bluff," said Vic. "The unions know quite well that McGinnis et hoc genus omne will have nothing to do with an Arbitration Committee. Hence they are all for an Arbitration Committee.
