The mare responded with the same gameness she always showed; but the situation had suddenly become so grave that Monteith Sterry assuredly would have been overwhelmed and cut off but for one of the most extraordinary occurrences that ever came to any person in the extremity of danger. It was the wonderful sagacity of the little mare which intervened at this crisis in the fate of her rider.
They asked for no explanation, for none was needed, and an instant later they were at her side, she slightly slackening her pace. The sight, while alarming, was not all that Fred and Monteith anticipated. Three or four gaunt animals were trotting along the ice near the left shore, but no others were visible.
"I have a secret to disclose to you," said he, "which cannot be divulged on any other spot." Unwilling to deny so small a favor, Wallace, as has been said before, consented; and accordingly was conducted by Monteith toward Douglas.
It was simply because she had seen that bewitching-looking girl riding with Mr. Monteith. And what of that? Was she foolish enough to believe that he cared for her, a simple country girl, just because he had given her a few flowers and called there. He probably considered these common attentions that he offered to many others.
"Utterly destitute of any feeling of respect for any power of any sort, human or divine," the Dean remarked, with clerical severity. "For my part," Monteith interposed, knocking his ash off savagely, "I think the man's a swindler; and the more I see of him, the less I like him. He's never explained to us how he came here at all, or what the dickens he came for.
Monteith who insists upon having him here." "He fascinates me," the General said frankly. "I don't at all wonder the women like him. As long as he was by, though I don't agree with one word he says, I couldn't help looking at him and listening to him intently." "So he does me," Philip answered, since the General gave him the cue. "And I notice it's the same with people in the train.
It was an ideal skating rink, and the particular overflow of spirits on that evening was due to the agreement that it was to be devoted to the exhilarating amusement. "We will leave the house at 8 o'clock," said Fred at the supper table, "and skate to the mouth of Wild Man's Creek and back." "How far is that?" inquired Monteith Sterry. "About ten miles."
Reaching that place, she buried the heels of her skate-runners in the ice, sending the particles about her in a misty shower, and quickly came to a halt. Then, standing motionless, she listened. In the distance sounded the howling of the animals so repeatedly disappointed of their prey, but none was nigh enough to cause her misgiving. "I hope no harm has come to Fred or Monteith," she murmured.
In three weeks the church of God revival was to begin in Bethany, according to previous arrangements made between Robert Davis and Evangelist Monteith. Meanwhile Robert Davis studied the church question assiduously. His study of the Bible led him to accept the Bible name church of God but he knew that the right name did not necessarily make a church right that had adopted it.
Ah! let me behold you, companion of my school-days, friend, leader, benefactor! till the sea wrests you forever from my eyes!" Exhausted and affected, Wallace gave his hand to Monteith; the tear of gratitude stood in his eye. He looked affectionately from Monteith to Edwin, from Edwin to Monteith: "Wallace shall yet live in the memory of the trusty of this land! you, my friend, prove it.
