James' Cemetery, and thence through the shady ravine and up the hill beyond. Very few persons, we believe, could point out the exact site of the old "castle." It is, however easily discoverable by any one who chooses to search for it. A few yards to the right of the fence which is the boundary line between St. James' Cemetery and Mr. McKenzie's property is a slight depression in the sandy soil.
I beg the House for unanimous consent for its immediate consideration." The House was convulsed; no objection was interposed, the bill was considered and passed, and McKenzie's seat was safe for many years to come. Has there ever been a more feeling two-minutes' speech, than that of McKenzie in the National Convention of 1892, when he arose to second the nomination of Cleveland?
"But come, Jasper," said the artist, "let's hear about your affair, and I'll tell you about mine some other time." "Well, there is not much to tell, but I'll give ye all that's of it. You must know, then, that about two years ago I was in the service of the Hudson's Bay Company, at one o' their outposts in the McKenzie's River district.
"If you must have it you must!" exclaimed the first German. His hand flashed up and in it was a revolver. McKenzie's revolver flashed. The German dropped back. The man at the wheel released his hold on the steering apparatus and also reached for a gun. Hal dropped him without changing his position.
You wouldn't believe it, General, but when I was a little girl, I used to stand in front of shop windows and wonder if other girls really wore the slippers and fans and parasols. And when I went to Dr. McKenzie's, and saw Jean in her silk dressing gowns, and her pink slippers and her lace caps, she seemed to me like a lady in a play.
The long and able opinion delivered by Judge Ross covers the entire history of the Wild Goose litigation, and incidentally refers to Mr. McKenzie's relations with the Alaska Gold Mining Company.
There were lights upstairs and down. Was Jean McKenzie's room behind the two golden windows above the balcony? Was she there, or in the room below, where shaded lamps shone softly among the shadows? He yearned to go in to speak with her to learn her thoughts to read her heart and mind. As yet he knew only the message of her beauty.
"One word more than I ask you, and I'll blow your brains out. Now, what's your name?" "Justin McKenzie's my name. Fearless Frank generally answers me the purpose of a nom de plume," was the reply. "Very good," and the stranger drew near enough for the Scarlet Boy to perceive that he was clad in buck-skin; well armed; wore a Spanish sombrero, and hair long, down over the square shoulders.
General Rentzel sat up and wiped his face with a handkerchief. "Shoot them!" he cried. From the rear of the crowd there was a flash of fire and a report. A bullet sped over Hal's head. McKenzie's revolver flashed and a German fell to rise no more. At this moment McKenzie took command. "Up the steps!" he cried. Hal realized that to hesitate meant instant death.
What might have been the closing words of McKenzie's speech, with such a beginning, can never be known. The effect of his opening, however, was instantaneous. It was the immediate prelude to the overwhelming nomination of his candidate. The Hon. John E. Kenna, of West Virginia, was just at the beginning of a remarkably brilliant career.
