Nasmyth has placed this sketch at our disposal, thus earning the gratitude of our readers, and we have reproduced as nearly as possible, but to a somewhat enlarged scale, this invaluable link in the history of the locomotive. Mr.
For a moment the girl was startled by what she read in the Canadian's face. It was, however, invisible to Millicent. Turning suddenly round without speaking he strode away, followed by Nasmyth. Stopping when he was hidden from the camp among the rocks Lisle turned savagely to his companion. "You heard what Bella said!" "I did!" replied Nasmyth. "The hound! It must be stopped!"
It was wetter than was comfortable near the fall, and, scrambling back across the staging, they sat down among the boulders near the foot of the rapid that swirled out of the pool. Nasmyth looked at Laura, who smiled. "I am afraid I have taken you away from your work, and I haven't Gordon's excuse," she said. "He, at least, is able to drill." Nasmyth laughed.
They told him and he looked thoughtful. "So Lisle started at once! Which way did he and Nasmyth go?" "Up the ridge behind us, but they turned down-stream when they reached the top," Carew replied. Batley scented a mystery. "Well," he said, "I think I'll go after them; I might be useful.
She was attempting to do a great deal more than was good for her when I last saw her. They have no longer a hired man at the ranch. Waynefleet, I understand, is rather tightly fixed for money, and, as you know, he isn't the kind of man who would deny himself. He was talking of selling some stock." Nasmyth suddenly straightened himself, and closed one hand rather hard on the arm of his chair.
"Now, I'm going to buy that land Waynefleet sold from you or, rather, he's going to give you your money back for it. You can arrange the thing with Hutton who, I believe, supplied the money afterwards as best you can." Nasmyth fancied Hames was relieved that no more was expected from him. "I guess I'm in your hands," observed Hames.
He was unpleasantly conscious that the light was on his face. Then the girl laid down her sewing and turned fully towards him. "I saw Mr. Gordon cross the clearing. He has told you why we are living here?" she said. "I think," said Nasmyth, with a slowness that was very expressive, "it was not done out of unkindness."
"I believe I understand," he said. For a minute or two there was silence which was broken only by the snapping of the branches on the fire and the hollow roar of the rapid. The latter had a curious, irritating effect on Nasmyth, who hitherto had scarcely noticed the insistent pulsatory clamor. At length Lisle spoke again, laying a strong restraint upon himself.
Waynefleet made the young man a little inclination that was formally courteous. "I am glad to see you are evidently recovering," he said. "I hope they have made you at home here." Then he turned to his daughter. "If you could get me some supper " Laura busied herself about the stove, while Waynefleet sat down and talked to Nasmyth about generalities.
There's just one way of putting anything through here, and that's to take hold and hang right on, no matter what it costs. I guess there's one of the boys wanting you." A man stood knee-deep in the river waving his hand. Nasmyth rose and stretched himself. "They seem to want me all the time from sun-up until it's dark," he said.
