Carter inquired solicitously concerning his visitor's well-being, Johnnie's dismay turned to amazement. With a heavy playfulness Mr. Carter at length remarked: "Well, my boy, you made a fizzle of it, didn't you?" The tone was almost complimentary. "Yes, sir, I'm a bright and shining failure," O'Reilly acknowledged, hopefully. "Now, don't 'yes, sir' me. We're friends, aren't we? Good!
But that one, as she grudgingly admitted, made up for the whole "shiftless crew." "She's Christian," she assured Felice solemnly, "A Christian." Which was the more delightful from the fact that her sect was one that Janet had hitherto scorned as "Irish Roman Catolic." But just to look at Molly O'Reilly was to know you'd love her.
Norine cast a startled glance at the big fellow. "It's a fact," he asserted, doggedly. "I might as well declare myself here and now. There's always a gang of eavesdroppers hanging around you." "He means you, Leslie," O'Reilly said. "Hadn't you better take a walk?" Branch rolled a hostile eye at the artilleryman, and his lip curled. "I'll not move. When he gets through, I'll propose."
Where is it?" "In my room." "Hm-m! Then I'm not sure you'll have a chance to destroy it." O'Reilly was thinking rapidly. "From what I was told I suspect you are being watched even there." "Bullets! I thought as much." "Would you mind using some other oath?" O'Reilly broke out, irritably. "I've always considered 'bullets' weak and ineffective, but it has a significance."
Anyhow, you mustn't think of returning to Matanzas," Norine faltered; her voice caught unexpectedly and she turned her face away. O'Reilly nodded shortly. "You're a sick man," he agreed. "There's no need for both of us to go." Esteban looked up. "Then you " "I leave at once. The Old Man has given me a commission to General Betancourt, and I'll be on my way in an hour.
Kathleen was perfectly ready to undertake the release of Dermot if she could accomplish it, and she promised at all events to enter the cavern and to communicate with him. "He is a wise lad, and it will be a wise thing to do as he bids me," she observed. "But you must be weary, Kathleen," said Miss O'Reilly; "you will want some refreshment before you set out again to-night."
Then, suddenly, she remembered Justin O'Reilly. A great desolation of loneliness swept over her. He would be sorry. But he was far away. When Clo telephoned, Ellen Blackburne did not even know that the Sands were out of New York. The message, however, instantly awoke her sleeping interest.
The men stared fixedly at each other, O'Reilly with his head thrown back, Cobo with his body propped rigidly upon wooden arms and that peculiar shocked inquiry in his glaring eyes. But slowly this expression changed; the colonel bent as if beneath a great weight, his head rose and turned back upon his neck, he filled his lungs with another wheezing sigh. "Christ! O Christ " he whispered.
Oh, Miss O'Reilly, even now she seems rushing forward to destruction." "Whereabouts is she?" asked Miss O'Reilly eagerly. "Not two hundred fathoms, it seems at this moment, from the reef," answered Kathleen. "If she can come about without difficulty, she will escape, but if not, in a few minutes she will be cast on the rocks, and then you know too well what will happen."
She lay flat and straight as a figure on a marble tomb, yet she could not rest for thinking of O'Reilly. His eyes seemed to be looking into hers. By shutting them, she could not shut him out. When she thought that the five minutes must have passed, she slid wearily off the bed. "I must go to Angel," she said half aloud.
