At the end of one of his dissertations she leaned her elbow on the arm of the chair, with her cheek resting against her hand, and said: "How very clear you make everything, Mr. Renmark." "Do you think so?" he said with a smile. "It's my business, you know." "I think it's a shame that girls are not allowed to go to the university; don't you?"
"I take that back, too," cried the professor hastily. "I didn't mean it." "It strikes me you've become awfully funny all of a sudden. Don't you think it's about time we took to our bunks? It's late." Renmark agreed with him but did not turn in. He walked to the friendly fence, laid his arms along the top rail, and gazed at the friendly stars.
"In this world, Miss Howard," he continued, "true merit rarely finds its reward; at least, the reward shows some reluctance in making itself visible in time for man to enjoy it. Professor Renmark is a man so worthy that I was rather astonished to learn that you knew of him. I am glad for his sake that it is so, for no man more thoroughly deserves fame than he."
"Don't shoot," he shouted to the man on horseback; "it is all a little mistake that will be quickly put right. You are three armed and mounted men, and we are only two, unarmed and on foot. There is no need of any revolver practice. Now, Renmark, you are more of a rebel at the present moment than O'Neill. He owes no allegiance, and you do. Have you no respect for the forms of law and order?
Young Hiram threw an ax and a spade among the canvas folds, mounted to his place, and drove up the lane leading to the forest, followed by Yates and Renmark on foot, leaving the farmer in his barnyard with a cheery good-by, which he did not see fit to return.
The baroness made a narrow-minded renmark. "That is always the way with these journals," said she. "Austrians! Prussians! when it's Egypt one wants to hear about." "No, not a word about Egypt," said the doctor; "but there is a whole column about the Rhine, where Colonel Dujardin is and Dard. If I was dictator, the first nuisance I would put down is small type."
I have paid a good deal of attention to it, and will show you how it is done, if you care to know." "Oh, I wish you would." "How do you keep a record of the volumes that are out?" "I just write the name of the person, the title, and the date in this blank book. When the volume is returned, I score out the record." "I see," said Renmark dubiously. "That isn't right, is it? Is there a better way?"
Ask me in the morning. What have you been prowling after all night?" There was no answer. Renmark was evidently asleep. "I'll ask you in the morning," muttered Yates drowsily after which there was silence in the tent. Yates had stubbornly refused to give up his search for rest and quiet in spite of the discomfort of living in a leaky and battered tent.
"He doesn't admit it, he brags of it," said the latter before Renmark could speak. "You can't scare him; so quit this fooling, and let us know how long we are to stand here trussed up like this." "I propose, captain," said the red-headed man, "that we shoot these men where they stand, and report to the general. They are spies. They are armed, and they denied it.
"That's a nice way to carry bound books, as if they were a lot of bricks. I'll warrant you have lost a dozen between Mallory's and here. But easy come, easy go. It's plain to be seen they didn't cost you anything. I don't know what the world's a-coming to when the township spends its money in books, as if taxes weren't heavy enough already. Won't you come in, Mr. Renmark? Tea's on the table."
