There had been so much raillery in the newspapers that McQuade became furious whenever it was mentioned. His dog was a professional fighter and had made three kills, and here a "pet" had given him his first licking. It rankled, and none of McQuade's friends dared refer to it. So Warrington remained alert and watchful; it was all he could do. In more ways than one Herculaneum became widely known.
He is so anxious to get me out of the political arena that he has sent a man down to New York to look into my past. Isn't that droll?" Patty stooped again to the fishing-tackle. "Such men as McQuade can invent. I should be very careful, if I were you.
When they were gone Morrissy turned savagely upon McQuade. "I told you you were a damn fool!" "Get out of here, both of you; and if you ever stick your heads in this office again, I'll smash you." McQuade dropped into his chair, once more alone. He sat there for an hour, thinking, ruminating, planning; but all his thinking and ruminating and planning had but one result: they had him licked.
There are some stories that can only be rumored, not printed, and this is one of them. If this appears, you have my word that every decent advertiser will cancel his contract forthwith." Walford looked at his employer in frank triumph. McQuade had great confidence in these two men. He ripped the manuscript into squares and filtered them through his fingers into the waste-basket.
He turned into the alley and tried to think of some plan by which he could borrow enough to make a new attempt at fickle fortune. To-morrow he could strike McQuade again, but to-night McQuade wouldn't listen to him. Every once in a while he would renew the searching of his pockets, but there was only the remainder of the ten the banker had given him.
"I haven't told you the woman's name yet," said Bolles, leering. "The woman's name? What's that got to do with it?" "A whole lot. It was Katherine Challoner, the actress, Bennington's wife; that's who it was!" McQuade sat very still. So still, that he could hear the clock ticking in the parlor. Bennington's wife!
More than all this, McQuade is back of this move; and if I can prove that you accepted a bribe from him, I'll have you both in court for conspiracy." "You're talking big. It won't do you any good." "Wait. I should be willing to wait ten years to call you a thief and a blackguard in public. But I say to you now, privately, you are both a thief and a blackguard."
I gave him ten dollars for something I'd have given ten hundred for just as quickly. If Henderson had sprung Warrington in September, we'd have been swamped. Now we have a good chance to hang on." "Force him to back down and withdraw?" McQuade nodded. "It's simply got to be done. I didn't give Henderson credit for so clever a move as this.
The paper read: "I, James Morrissy, the undersigned, do hereby declare that I have received $1,000, in two sums of $500 each, from Daniel McQuade, these sums being payment agreed upon for my bringing about the strike at the Bennington shops." Morrissy looked at the boss incredulously. "I say, Mac, have you gone crazy?" he cried. "Do you want evidence like this lying around in your safe?
From what he had observed of fashionable people, especially the new-rich, they endeavored to submerge altogether the evidences of past manual and menial labor. "Then you are not ashamed of the fact that you sold vegetables?" "In truth, I'm rather proud of it. It was the first step in the fight. And I tell you honestly, Mr. McQuade, that I have fought every inch of the way.
