Drop Rankin forget civilization ignore the slow practices of law and order! "Come on!" someone yelled. "We're enough to do the business. To the river!" Instantly the crowd burst through the single front door. Momentarily there followed a lull, while in the half darkness each rider found his mount.
The quick responsiveness that was at all times her most marked characteristic answered this rare mood of Nature with an intensity almost frightening in its visible joy. Rankin also said nothing, looking at her reflectively and stroking his close-clipped red beard. Above the faded brown of his work-shirt, his face glowed with color.
Every detective in Greater New York knows them. They had a wonderful game with that Englishman, Sir Arthur, this morning. Stripped him of half a pound of eight-inch leaves a neat little stack. A crooked game, of course. Those fellows are more nimble-fingered than Rance Rankin ever dared to be!" I sat staring at her. She was a mine of information, this girl.
Captain Rankin found his billet at the top of a house on the opposite side of the square from the laboratory; Captain Ellis found his in a house in the corner of the square, and mine proved to be a little room over a grocery shop on another corner of the square.
Rankin was among the first to be thus summarily rejected, and he joined the crowd outside the bar, only half contented with his release. He would have liked "to convict that beast." It was not much of a compliment to be retained on Rumpety's jury.
She drew the Judge hurriedly into the hall, and, "It was that Rankin!" she cried, the slam of the door underscoring her words, "and I believe Marius Melton knew he was going on that car and made Lydia late on purpose."

Rankin, satisfied, smiled and winked victoriously over to Tommers, who was listening from an adjacent table. "Of course your suggestion is out of order, my dear man, to this extent," said Quinny, who never surrendered, "in that I am talking of fundamentals and you are citing details.
Hanson couldn't help him till he'd helped himself. I don't know whether any one was kind enough to tell that tale to Hanson." "Hanson," said Maddox, "is too big a man to mind it if they did." "Anyhow, he hasn't helped him." "No," said Rankin; "but that's another story. That was quite enough to make Hanson jump on him. He was bound to do it by way of asserting his independence."
Miss Jeannette Rankin of Montana, the only woman member of Congress, was moved by these and similar revelations to introduce a resolution calling for a Congressional investigation of the workhouse. There were among the suffrage prisoners women of all shades of social opinion. The following letter by Miss Gvinter, the young Russian worker, was smuggled out of the workhouse.
"Someone must call for Rankin and Ben," suggested another, "Ben particularly. He ought to be there at the finish. Lord knows he's got grudge enough." "We'll let him pull the trap," broke in Stetson grimly. Of a sudden above the confusion there sounded a snarl, almost like the cry of an animal. Surprised, for the moment silenced, the men turned in the direction whence it had come. "Rankin!"
