But those who were sucked into the vortex of the rough world, what of these? Were they not right in their attempts to organize, to rebel, to fight in the open, to secure a larger share of freedom and power? But if these were Myra's feelings and thoughts a sense of outrage, of being trampled on they were little things compared with the agony in Rhona's breast.
She glanced around for help, shunning the evil monkey eyes. Then she saw the policeman under the lamp. He was still nonchalantly swinging his club. She gave a gasping sob, pushing away Myra's offered help, and struggled over to him. He did not move. She stood, until he glanced at her. Then she caught his eye, and held him, and spoke with strange repression, as the crowd drew about them.
It was then that fresh hope, and the complete acceptance of a better point of view, came to Jim Airth. As he sat on the ledge, hugging his lonely misery, he suddenly became strangely conscious of Myra's presence.
And, where my slide begins, is a blessed ledge four foot by six." He pulled out a huge clasp-knife, opened the largest blade, and commenced hacking steps in the face of the cliff. "We must climb," said Jim Airth. "I have never climbed," whispered Myra's voice behind him. "You must climb to-day," said Jim Airth. "I could never even climb trees," whispered Myra. "You must climb a cliff to-night.
Myra's natural courage began to reassert itself, and she was ashamed of having displayed any signs of fear. "Displayed" is hardly the word, for the inside of the car, which was hurtling along at great speed, was so dark that she could not even see the shape of the man whose arm encircled her, and she knew he could not see her.
"Why should I take the risk of having to surrender Miss Rostrevor to you? It is an absurd proposal, although you may think it is a sporty offer. I'm not afraid to fight you, but I've got to consider Miss Rostrevor." "Does this proposal appeal to Miss Rostrevor?" inquired Don Carlos, turning his hooded head in Myra's direction.
I take-it thar ain't much doubt but Myra's his wife that a-way, in which event my idee is he only borrys Thompson's pinto. Which nacherally, as I freely concedes, this last depends on Myra's bein' his wife. "'Oh, not necessarily, says Texas Thompson; 'thar's a heap of wives who don't jestify hosstealiil' a little bit.
Through the corridors they went again, and Myra's heart seemed to miss a beat as he paused at her bedroom and opened the door. She looked up at him with dread and appeal in her dilated blue eyes, to see him smiling exultantly. "Mine! Mine at last, Myra!" he said in a low, vibrant voice, as he slipped his arm around her waist and drew her into the room.
God's hand alone leads surely, out of darkness into light." She put a kind arm firmly around her friend, for a moment. Then: "I will send him to you in an hour," she said, and left the room. Lady Ingleby was alone. The door of Myra's sitting-room opened quietly, and Jim Airth came in. She awaited him upon the couch, sitting very still, her hands folded in her lap.
She drew back, seeing Myra's seamed face, white and drawn. "Ye be sick, Myry?" "Nope!" "Air it the brat, then?" "Nope, it air Ben Letts. He were hurt by the Brindle Bull at Kennedy's Farm. Ezy and 'Satisfied' found him near dead on the tracks and took him home." Tess stood waiting, wide-eyed, without a word.
