He did not add, though he might have, that Ridgway was tarred with the same brush as the enemy in this matter. "Then who is it to be?" "That's a secret. I can't tell even you that. But we have agreed on a man. Waring is to withdraw and throw his influence for him. The Democratic minority will swing in line for him, and we'll do the rest. That's the plan. It may not go through, however."
"Wouldn't I naturally be prejudiced?" "I suppose you would. Everybody in Mesa seems to have taken sides either with Mr. Ridgway or the Consolidated. Still, you have an option. Is he what his friends proclaim him the generous-hearted independent fighting against trust domination? Or is he merely an audacious ore-thief, as his enemies say? The truth must be somewhere."
Ridgway waved Harley to a chair without rising to meet him. The eyes of the two men fastened, wary and unwavering. They might have been jungle beasts of prey crouching for the attack, so tense was their attention. The man from Broadway was the first to speak. "I have called, Mr. Ridgway, to arrange, if possible, a compromise.
Ridgway, it is perhaps nearer the cormorant than anything else, although not executed with the detail necessary for its satisfactory recognition. It may pass, however, as a badly executed likeness of the tufted cardinal grosbeak or red-bird. The same is true of Figs. 174 and 175, which are also said to be "cherry-birds." To undertake to name the species would be the merest guess-work.
Ridgway informs the writer, was found there as late as 1861. Specimens are in the Smithsonian collection from points as far north as Chicago and Michigan. Over much of the region indicated the exact nature of its occurrence is not understood, whether resident or a more or less casual visitor.
"I have invested bought the whole outfit, lock, stock and barrel." "But why? What do you want with it if the property is no good?" asked Eaton in surprise. Ridgway laughed shortly. "I don't want it, but the Consolidated does. Two of their experts were up at Alpine last week, and both of them reported favorably.
I suggest the question to those whose business it is to be learned in such matters. Mr. Ridgway, in his Manual of North American Birds , had already described a subspecies of Florida redwings under the name of Agelaius phoeniceus bryanti. The tall grass about the borders of the island was alive with clapper rails.
Aline turned her pony townward, and they rode at a walk side by side. "Do you know much about the difficulty between Mr. Harley and Mr. Ridgway? I mean about the mines the Sherman Bell, I think they called it?" "I know something about the trouble in a general way. Both the Consolidated and Mr. Ridgway's company claim certain veins. That is true of several mines, I have been told."
For it was in a position to ruin almost any business man upon whom it fastened a grudge, and to make wealthy any upon whom it chose to cast its favors. Nevertheless, there were some not so sure that the Consolidated would succeed in electing its man. Since Ridgway had announced himself as a candidate there had been signs of defection on the part of some of those expected to vote for Warner.
A helmet creamer would be full of little rolls of twine, odd buttons, a wad of beeswax, a piece of asafetida, elastic bands, and corks. She had used a Ridgway platter with a view of the Hudson River on it, as a dinner plate for her hound, for we found it wrapped up, with "Nipper's platter" scrawled on the paper.
