Eyes rushing water and one profile now resembling a slab of bloodied liver, the man reeled about in a circle as if bereft of sight. "Oh-hh! Ooh! No-o! Ah-hh!" The wild, moaning cry for quarter came gaspingly out of puffed, blood-foamed lips. But there was no mercy in Slavin. He looked round at the wrecked bar, the glass-slashed bleeding faces of his men and the rest of the saloon's occupants.
Here was a child, forming its first judgments of the world, finding the saloon a delightful and desirable place. Stores, nor public buildings, nor all the dwellings of men ever opened their doors to me and let me warm by their fires or permitted me to eat the food of the gods from narrow shelves against the wall. Their doors were ever closed to me; the saloon's doors were ever open.
Parr got a corporation lawyer named Langmaid he's another one of your millionnaire crooks to fix it up and get around the law and keep him out of jail. And then they had to settle with Tim Beatty for something like three hundred thousand. You know who Beatty is he owns this city his saloon's around here on Elm Street. All the crooks had to be squared.
If the Pippin was just as surely brought to book that way, why do old Carruthers and his sheet out of a "scoop"! Jimmie Dale made his way rapidly now over to the Bowery, and here headed in an uptown direction. Two blocks further along, however, on the corner occupied by the Crescent saloon, he turned into the cross street, and passed in through the saloon's side entrance.
"If you all will please excuse me, I think I shall go back to the cabin. Helena!" "Go with Mrs. Daniver at once, Jimmy," said I to L'Olonnois. "Aye, aye, Sir!" saluted he joyously; and added aside as he passed me, "Hope the old girl's going to be good an' sick!" I could see Peterson standing near the saloon's door, and bethought me to send Jean Lafitte up to aid him in making all shipshape.
"It goes right on down to the saloon. You see," she added slyly, "the saloon's about the most important building in the town. Good-bye." Without another word she walked off down the slope, and, in a moment, was lost among the generous growth of shrubs. This was the scene to which his mind always reverted.
