"You always look just the same to me," Dan said, as he helped her on with her coat and adjusted the collar with gentle, painstaking deference. She sighed. The remark to a person who ardently desired to look different was crushing. "I think Mrs. Purdy's an awful old fogey!" she said petulantly by way of venting her pique.
When the Mayor began his oration Purdy's eyes flashed rapidly over the crowd and seeing that neither Cinnabar Joe nor the doctor were present, slipped his horse around the end of the lumber pile and dashed for the doctor's office. "That damn Doc'll wisht he hadn't never double-crossed me!" he growled, as he swung from the saddle before the horse had come to a stop.
"His blood be on old Purdy's head, then!" says O'Connor. "The mine boss has said he will put her out in the street. She's already months back in her rent." Trueman passes on as if he has not heard O'Connor, who is at the Court House as one of the witnesses.
Accessories after the fact, is what the law calls them." "Oh Lord," groaned the Texan inwardly. "If I can steer through all this without ridin' into my own loop, I'll be some liar. This on top of what I told 'em in Wolf River, an' since, an' about Purdy's funeral I dastn't bog down, now!" "No," he answered, as he lighted another cigarette. "There comes in your politics again.
Preliminary to enforcing the order that debars such an army of men of the means of support, the Coal Magnates, at Purdy's suggestion, have massed three hundred of the Coal and Iron Police in the town of Hazleton.

They were all genuinely pleased when Nell Purdy's brother and John Finley's son, Sam, forsook their wild ways and "joined church."
In front rode Bat Lajune with Purdy's horse snubbed to his saddle-horn, and immediately following him were the girl and Endicott riding side by side. Tex saw that the girl was crying, and that Endicott's hands were manacled, and that he rode the missing horse.
But in an incautious hour for himself and his backer, Flash Purdy, owner of Purdy's Dixieland Bar, he had permitted himself to be entered for a match before an athletic club at Louisville against one Max Schorrer, a welter-weight appearing professionally under the nom de puge of Slugging Fogarty. It was to have been a match of twelve rounds, but early in the second round Mr.
Whereas Mahony had sat his horse the whole night through, had never ceased to balance himself in an imaginary saddle. And when at daybreak he had fallen into a deeper sleep, he was either reviewing outrageous females on Purdy's behalf, or accepting wagers to kiss them. Hence, diverting as were the sights of the city, he did not come to them with the naive receptivity of Purdy.
A committee came to me and asked if I would head a procession to come here and demand the body. We came and were refused it. Then we broke into the house and got Metz's body. "Some one started the cry, 'Find Purdy's body and bury it in Potter's field! This set the crowd crazy. I could not prevent their seizing it." Harvey Trueman listens to the stories of the men.
