They were, many of them, ingloriously hanged, it is true, but it was by the King's officers, and not by the people. However, not to defend pirates, or indeed to condemn them, I will tell you what my grandfather narrated about his father, who was Capt. John Redfield. He was a gallant seaman, who consorted with Charles Vane and other doughty corsairs of those days of romance upon the seas.
I realize that his salary is too small; but there are other places for him. Perhaps when he knows that I have a special note to him from the chief he will reconsider. He's quite capable of the Supervisor's position, and Mr. Redfield is willing to resign in his favor. I'm telling you all this because Mr. Redfield has told me of your interest in Mr. Cavanagh or rather his interest in you."
He said that, upon the arrival of the other men, the matter would be discussed with the Captain, and meantime he would take no steps toward providing a defense for him in a conflict which was not likely to occur. This disclosure was startling, and a shock to the spirit which had upheld Captain Redfield.
Nor did days of urging and threatening turn him from his purpose. Brisbau was released, and given to understand that the men were in control of affairs; and that his animosity towards Captain Redfield must cease. The woods were scoured for the treasure. Days passed, and weeks, and the search was incessant; but there was no discovery made.
Ross had not yet arrived at the cabin, but Redfield had warned Lee not to expect him till after dark. "He probably slept late, and, besides, there are always delays on the trail. But don't worry. Swenson will ride to the top of the divide with him, and if it seems necessary will come all the way." This feeling of anxiety helped to steady Lize, and she got through the meal very well.
When he managed to get up he had nearly all the hay on him, as well as the molasses. "Cousin Redfield was really a little walking haystack; and scared at his condition, because he thought he would probably never be a bear any more. He was so scared that he wanted his father to come and do something for him, and started to meet him, as fast as he could, with all that load of hay and molasses.
Brisbau alighted, and, extending his hand to Captain Redfield with suave complacency, stated that he had came upon a little service for Captain Kidd, and would later communicate his object. He showered courtly attentions upon his host, who exhibited unfeigned pleasure in welcoming him.
"Aren't scientific men rather divided about it?" "Yes, there are those who deny that there is any inheritance of the spirit, of character, insisting that the laws of transmission affect the body only. Lee is certainly like her father in looks. He was a handsome rascal." "Ross is terribly smitten with her." Redfield coughed, uneasily. "I hope not. Of course he admires her, as any man must.
Seeing that Redfield was really in earnest, the proprietor obeyed the order promptly, and in half an hour the boy reappeared, rather red, a little uncertain, but decidedly altered for the better. "Now go," cried the cynic, with a smile, and a shake of his hand, "and thank your stars the fool-killer did not come along before you." "Nineteen dollars and a half! Bless me! what am I coming to?
Besides, Reddie was sick for several days. But Uncle Brownwood put up the bear-ladder much stronger than before, and set the empty molasses-jug in the middle of the table, and kept it there a long time, and when Cousin Redfield tried even to look at it, it gave him such a sick turn that he nearly died." Once upon a time Mr.
