There were cases of a different caliber. Yet Burke could see in them what Balzac called "social coördination." Now a middle-aged woman, with hair unkempt, and hat awry, maudlin tears in her swollen eyes, and swaying as she held the rail, looked shiftily up into the magistrate's immobile face. "You've been drunk again, Mrs. Rafferty? This is twice during the last fortnight that I've had you here."
Tim had not yet espied either, nor did he till Dick addressed him. "Are you round collectin' fiddles this mornin'?" he asked. Tim looked up, and, seeing that his victim had found an able champion, felt anxious to withdraw. He was about to turn back, but Dick advanced with a determined air. "Jest stop a minute, Tim Rafferty," said he. "I'm a-goin' to intervoo you for the Herald.
Riggs looked grave indeed. "You say you may have to prove it was not you. Don't you know you'll have to if these witnesses are further sustained?" "Fully, sir, and when my need is known there will be witnesses for the defense. The doctors tell me Rafferty may not come round in less than a week. When the time arrives I'll be ready." And that was the way it had to be left.
"I was asleep, and you have waked me up." "Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Mills," said Dick; "but I come on business." "What business can you have with me?" demanded the blind man. "Who are you?" "I am Dick Rafferty. I black boots in the Park," replied Dick. "Well, I haven't got any money to pay for blacking boots." "I didn't expect you had. I hear your boy has left you." "Yes, the young rascal!
Till then both men threw themselves down and slept. As the clock indicated midnight, Rafferty shook Hogan roughly. The latter sat up and gazed, in terrified bewilderment, at Jack, who was leaning over him, forgetting for the moment the compact into which he had entered. "What do you want?" he ejaculated. "It's time we were about our business," growled Jack. "It's struck twelve."
He would do this thing and that all of which had for their object apparently just that one goal. It was a direct personal appeal to every man toiler. In addition to this, Rafferty let drop a hint or two that Sweeney had jobs in his own business which he filled discreetly from the ranks of the wavering.
I made six hundred dollars by that. Everything Rafferty touched now seemed to turn to money. One reason was that he was thrown in contact with money-makers all of whom were anxious to help him. He received any number of tips from those eager to win his favor.
He turned and they went on, Rafferty disturbed in his mind and much put about by the manner of the other in whom he began to divine something more than a casual guest, Phyl almost as much put out as Rafferty.
After all he has been up at the Treasure to-day," said Eames to himself. But he did not stir till the messenger had been to him, nor even then at once. "All right, Rafferty," he said; "I'll go in just now." Then he took half-a-dozen more whiffs from the cigar, threw the remainder into the fire, and opened the door which communicated between his room and Sir Raffle's.
He ain't goin' into the musical line, is he?" "He was angry because I didn't want to lend it to him." Just then Tim Rafferty himself turned the corner. There was a lull in his business, and he was wandering along the street eating an apple. "There he is," said Phil, suddenly espying his enemy. Dick looked up, and saw with satisfaction that Phil was right.
