On the slopes of "Jako" the wooded eminence that rises above the town the enterprising German establishes his concert-hall and his beer-garden; among the rhododendron trees Madame Blavatzky, Colonel Olcott and Mr.
These aims seem thoroughly worthy, though the last mentioned, under its original founders, led to mystical claptrap, and to the abuse of the strong superstitious instincts of India. The society was founded by a Russian adventuress, Madame Blavatsky, and by an American soldier, Colonel Olcott, who was the easy tool, if not the accomplice, of his clever and unscrupulous associate.
"Now, boys," said Fred, "be careful. We don't want any innocent man hurt, but if you find any one tampering with the fence give him a chance to cut just one wire to establish his guilt and then call a halt. If he doesn't hold up open fire on him, and keep firing until he comes down. Both Olcott and I will be moving about the greater part of the night.
That evening, as Evelyn and the elder Elon girl were standing out on the forward deck, gazing at the stars, Terry came up and joined them. "Mr. Olcott," said the New Orleans beauty, "you are just the kind of a man that I have been looking for for three or four years. Please tell me how I can induce you to come courting." "Too late," laughed Terry, "I'm already mortgaged." "Oh, my! Just my luck."
"That's poor Craig," he would say, "corporal, Third Michigan. They tell me he can't live," and "That's Olcott, Eleventh Indiana. Good God!" cried the General, when they were out in the air again, "how I wish some of these cotton traders could get a taste of this fever. They keep well the vultures And by the way, Brinsmade, the man who gave me no peace at all at Memphis was from your city.
Fearnot, he would have fared even worse; for Fred is probably one of the strongest men of his size in the United States, so far as physical abilities are concerned." Of course, there was no more shooting that day. The ship's surgeon said that the man who had tackled Olcott would not be able to appear on deck that day.
Olcott has agreed to shoot, and I am ready to cover any amount you want to put up, unless you have put up more than I have." The original bettor offered to put up three hundred dollars. "All right," said Tom. "I'll cover that." Then several others put up one and two hundred each.
"That Denver Galloway was sure a relief to the eye. Six feet two he was, red-headed and pink-gilled as a sun-perch. And the air he had! Court of Saint James, Chauncy Olcott, Kentucky colonels, Count of Monte Cristo, grand opera all these things he reminded you of when he was doing the honours.
"All right; take your time," and, while he was standing around waiting he asked the young lady who was holding the money who the young man was. "Why, he is Mr. Olcott. Haven't you heard of him?" "No, I never did. At least not that I can remember." The young lady seemed to be quite surprised, and asked him if he had ever heard of Fred Fearnot.
He knew Fred and Terry, for he had frequently stopped at their ranch, so he, on his way to town, notified every farmer and ranchman whom he passed that Fearnot and Olcott were going to hang four cattle thieves down at the lower end of their ranch. Everybody who heard the news wanted to see the lynching, so they came down there.
