The Service is merely the tool of the people on the Projects. "Oscar, it's up to you and me. In antagonizing you farmers, I've opened the way for the enemies of the Service to reach you. And you, in being reached, are endangering the Service. Is it true that you are going to help Saradokis and Fleckenstein get your honest debts repudiated?"
"That Greek shall never come inside this house again, Michael!" Dennis nodded as he walked the floor. "I don't know what to do about the matter. As a lawyer, I'd say, drop it. As Jim's best friend, I feel like making trouble for Saradokis, though I know Jim will refuse to have anything to do with it." Jim's mother looked thoughtfully at the sock she was darning.
"How did it happen?" asked the Secretary. Uncle Denny began to walk the floor. Pen answered. "A week ago, Mr. Secretary, a farmer named Marshall at a Fleckenstein meeting suggested that a petition be sent you to keep Mr. Manning here." Uncle Denny interrupted. "Mrs. Saradokis here already had telegraphed us to do that same thing, Mr.
"Now don't get excited," said Williams. "Remember this here is all speculation on my part. You stay right here. If it wasn't your husband, it would be someone else and I'd rather it would be someone that has you to watch 'em! And that ain't the most important part of your job, either. Mrs. Saradokis, somehow the Boss ain't getting the grip on things he'd ought to. I don't mean in engineering.
"Do you remember the 'Wood-carver of Olympus'? How he was hurt like Sara and how he blasphemed God and was embittered for years? He was reconciled to his lot after a time and people loved him. I have so hoped for that change in poor Sara, but none has come." "Pen!" cried Jim suddenly. "I gave you my sign and seal! Why did you marry Saradokis?"
Saradokis." Pen held out her hand and the two women looked at each other in the quick appraising way of women. Mrs. Ames was perhaps fifty years old. She was small and thin and brown, with thin gray hair under her dusty hat and a thin throat showing under her linen duster. Her face was heavily lined.
What would we have done with our fearful trails and distance and heavy freight without the mule? Some day when I get time, I'll write a rhapsody on the mule." The men laughed and made way for the doctor on his horse. But the doctor stopped and spoke very gravely to Uncle Denny. "Mrs. Saradokis wants you. Her husband is very low." "Love is the speaking voice of the Great Hunger.
His lips were stiff as he looked at Sara and said: "You are fully even now, Saradokis. I've a notion to kill you as I would a rattler." The tent was bright with lamplight. The red and black Navajo across Sara's cot was as motionless over the outline of his great legs as though it covered a dead man. Uncle Denny stared at Jim without stirring.
All her tired, yearning youth stood in her eyes. Jim spoke very slowly and clearly. "Penelope, I love you. Will you leave Saradokis and marry me?" Pen did not answer for a long moment. A to-hee trilled from the cedar: "O yahee! O yahai! Sweet as arrow weed in spring!" The Elephant lay motionless. The flag rippled and fluttered, a faint red spot far below on the mountainside.
"Oh, come!" said Freet, "I didn't know you had anything personal in this, Mr. Saradokis. Manning and I are engineers, out for the good of the Projects." "Whatever your motives are, Mr. Freet," said Jim, "I don't like your methods and haven't since the Makon days. The water power will be opened to public bids and if you try to force me I'll tell what I guess." Freet laughed.
