The bible says: "All liars shall have their part in the lake that burns with fire;" so the Murdocks of Wichita ought to tremble. I associate the name "Murdock" with murderer. The real depravity of such people was shown, when a lone old woman with a love of humanity, was in a cell suffering so unjustly, that these people should have left nothing undone to prejudice the people against her.
To tell the truth, Mr. Gilbert was not a favorite with Mr. Murdock. He understood his business, to be sure, and, so far as Mr. Murdock knew, kept the books correctly. But personally he was not agreeable, and the head salesman doubted whether his integrity was what it should have been.
If these three elements, representing the city fathers, the contractors and the laborers, were all satisfied with the way the city's work was being done, who remained to cavil? Certainly not the citizens. St. Etienne's wheels moved almost without friction. But Murdock went further than this. His was a fine instinct for organization.
First, Mrs. Murdock called, at Billy’s request, at his rooms on Mount Vernon Street. Granny and Maida were there to meet her. Mrs. Murdock was a tall, thin, erect old lady. Her bright black eyes were piercing enough, but it seemed to Maida that the round-glassed spectacles, through which she examined them all, were even more so.
Dick proceeded to give an account of the manner in which he had rescued little Johnny from drowning, as related in the adventures of "Ragged Dick." "It was a brave act," said Mr. Murdock. "It was nothing at all," said Dick, modestly. "I could swim like a duck, and I didn't mind the wetting." "But you ran the risk of drowning." "I didn't think of that."
The Democrats sent their most persuasive orator, President Wilson's friend, Dudley Field Malone, Collector of the Port of New York. Allan Benson, candidate for the Presidency on the Socialist ticket, represented the Socialist Party. Edward Polling, Prohibition leader, spoke for the Prohibition Party, arid Victor Murdock and Gifford Pinchot for The Progressive Party.
Hunt for her, if she isn't downstairs she may be at Cobb's getting something to eat. Quick, now!" Then he turned to Katie "You better go home, Miss Murdock. You're tired, maybe: anyhow, you're way off. Miss Parker'll get what we want, she isn't so thin-skinned. Here, take that stuff with you, it's no use to me."
He was playing the violin for a faker on the town common this afternoon." "Yes; it was there I met him." "Good heavens! and you invited him to your party?" "Why not?" demanded Hugh coldly. "The assistant and companion of a wandering faker!" "No, Mr. Murdock, I did not invite him, for my sister saved me the trouble." "I don't see how you could sanction her doing it."
He called upon Mr Murdock, his partner, in the evening, explaining the arrangement which he had made to pay a visit to Cuba, including the rather singular proposal of Senor Montijo to which he had consented, as to the apparent ownership of the new yacht; and listened patiently but unconvinced to all Murdock's arguments against what the canny Northumbrian unhesitatingly denounced as an utterly hare-brained scheme.
He figured out the possibilities and came up with an answer which would smear Ross Murdock all over any map. If Kurt were waiting to meet friends out here, they could only be of one brand. For most of his short life Ross had been engaged in a private war against the restrictions imposed upon him by a set of legal rules to which something within him would not conform.
