That's the only place any lumber-jack could have known me. Here. Come up here. Stand out. Show yourself. And I'll hand the boys your pedigree. It'll be easy. It's the trouble with us just now, we've got too many stiffs from the Skandinavia, and you've got our own good boys paralysed.
There was a contented smile in his eyes, and an atmosphere of unruffled confidence about him that was rather inspiring. The girl felt its influence. "You mean he figures to have you join up with the Skandinavia?" Bull shook his head as the waiter set the next course on the table. "No. He guesses the Skandinavia can buy me." "I see." Nancy waited.
He had, yielded his place to this man who was master of the Skandinavia. Now he looked down at the square-headed creature with his gross, squat body. It was a figure and face bristling with venom and purpose; and somehow he was conscious of a sudden lack of his usual assurance. "Oh, yes," he replied thoughtfully. "I've planned sure. But I guess I'm in the dark a bit. It's going to cost a deal.
"How?" he demanded again in his sharp way. Bull laughed. "Here," he cried, holding out the letters he had found. "I best pass you these. That's from Peterman. There's not much written, but a deal lies under the writing. You'll see he asks permission for a representative of the Skandinavia to wait on us.
"It means the work of the Skandinavia has been well and truly done." The hush of dawn was unbroken. The shadows of night receded slowly, reluctantly renouncing their long reign in favour of the brief winter daylight. The shores of the Cove lay hidden under a haze of fog. There were no sounds of life. The world was desperately still. No cry of wild fowl rose to greet the day.
He thinks to buy the Skandinavia like he's buying up all the mills he can lay hands on. But he bit off a chunk when he handed that stuff to me. He's as ready to fight as to laugh. Well, I guess he's going to get all the fight he needs. He'll get it plenty." "Then you mean to smash him?" "Just as sure as it's started to snow right now," the man exclaimed, pointing at the window.
It was not for the man's madness in shooting, but for the hurt inflicted. Then a grim, vengeful smile lit his eyes. "Why, I guess there ain't a single agent of the Skandinavia down there left with a puff of wind in his rotten carcase. The boys were plumb crazed for their blood an' got right up to their necks in it. I'm glad. I'm " "Oh, forget it, man." Bull spoke sharply.
You'll talk this over with Sternford. And when you've talked it some, you'll keep that place running, and let them talk. It's best that way. But I've got tab of most of the speakers, and I've located where they come from. Most of them have sometime worked for the Skandinavia. Maybe that's the reason of their talk. Maybe even Skandinavia's glad they're talking that way here on Labrador.
Fascinated, dreading, every act of it seared the girl's soul as with a red hot brand. It was the Skandinavia's work. The agents of the Skandinavia. And she knew that she, perhaps, was their principal agent. The rattle of machine guns. The human slaughter. She had witnessed the terror of it all in the fierce light of the conflagration which looked to be devouring the whole world of the mills.
She can put up at the visitor's house. It 'ud do me good for her to pass the news on to the folk she comes from." But Bat's manner had none of the light confidence of the other. Bitter hatred of the Skandinavia was deeply ingrained in him. He shook his head. "Keep 'em guessin'," he said. "It'll worry 'em that way." Then he passed the letters back, and dropped into the chair that was always his.
