Judge Orcutt no longer published thin volumes of poetry. The bar said that he was now devoting himself more seriously to his profession. The truth was, perhaps, that in face of his accumulating knowledge of life and human beings, he no longer had the incentive to write lyrics.
Any sale or contract entered into with Orcutt or anyone else concerning title to these lands is, of course, void." Cameron continued to stare at his watch. "I do not understand it," he muttered. "I think I do," offered Hedin. "Was it Orcutt's watch you consulted?" "Yes, he laid it on the table, and we watched the hands mark off the time." "And you were an hour fast!
"I won't see anybody, Caldwell not even Orcutt just now. You understand. I've got to have a little time to do some letters. I won't be disturbed by any one for half an hour." Caldwell nodded. "All right, Mr. Ditmar." Ditmar went into his office, closing the door behind him.
So Adelle left the probate court, as she thought for the last time, wondering what the judge wanted to say to her, but had refrained from speaking. It would be interesting to know, also, what were the entries that Judge Orcutt made in his little note-book upon this, his final official act in the Clark's Field drama. But that we have no means of discovering.
"I waited here for a week for you or Orcutt to show up, and then I decided to hunt you. I followed you to Winnipeg, and from there to Ottawa, and back again to the head of the tote-road. Orcutt had left for the States the day before I got there, but they said you were down at the mill site. I rode down on a truck only to find that you had come over here for your outfit."
He called the strikers an unprintable name, and though Janet stood, with her back turned, directly before him, he gave no sign of being aware of her presence. "It wasn't the gatekeeper's fault," she heard Orcutt reply in a tone quivering with excitement and apprehension. "They really didn't give us a chance that's the truth. They were down Canal Street and over the bridge before we knew it."
I suppose, though, that that would have been the logical procedure." Old John chuckled. "You're right, it would, with Fred Orcutt mixed up in it. But they didn't catch me nappin', an' I slipped the word to the city dads that I'd sell out to 'em, lock, stock, an' barrel, at a figure that would have meant a loss to Orcutt's crowd to meet.
"That lass of John McNabb's has chosen another," answered Hedin in a dull tone. It was the seventh of June when Wentworth had dispatched the Indian with the reports to McNabb and to Orcutt, and thereafter he settled himself for three weeks of waiting. The activity at the post bored and annoyed him.
Yes, by marriage he assured himself after consulting again the stiff paper form that the lawyers had properly filled out; and he gave one of those funny little quirks to his eye which he did when not wholly satisfied with a "proposition" presented to him. And here was the characteristic difference between Judge Orcutt and any other probate judge.
Two days later, into the trading room of the Hudson's Bay Company's post on God's Lake, burst Orcutt, white of face, shaken of nerves, and with his disheveled garments bespeaking a frenzied dash through the timber. "What's the meaning of this?" he cried, holding out a telegram. McNabb reached for the message and read it. "It means just what it says," he answered. "Cameron has stated it plain."
