I'm a lady and I have me rights first!" She struggled and squalled when the officer set his palms against her to push her away. Morrison dropped the Governor's hand, broke off his "duty speech," and with rueful smile pleaded for tolerance from the Corson party. "Hush, Mother Slattery!" he remonstrated. "Ah, that's orders from him as has the grand right to give 'em!
"No wonder there ain't ever anything worth readin' in that pickerune paper of his, Maggie," he growled to Margaret Slattery. "If ever I DO subscribe for a paper, it's goin' to be one that's got some git up and go about it. Some Injinapolis er Cincinnaty paper, b'gosh. There's Link Pollock settin' in there eatin' pancakes while a girl is bein' missed from one end of the township to the other.
The throng was in a turmoil; and in the midst of it, Lippman, who was the second victim appointed for the sacrifice, sprang upon the stump of an old tree, a little at one side, and shrieked at the top of his lungs: "Henry Hickman paid twenty thousand dollars to Slattery to beat the water bill; and now he and the Lockman estate are making ten thousand dollars a month out of it!
The rope had evidently fouled in the block and he was trying to detach it. "That's Hunchie Slattery!" gasped Betty, "What a chance he is taking!" For everything was sheathed in ice from the effect of the rain and frost of the night before. That timber was as slippery as glass. Ida Bellethorne set off on a run for the barn; but unlike Bobby she did not say a word.
"He made a speech at the college commencement about representative government; I suppose you read it in the Express. But all the same, when the Democrats got in, his nibs came round and made his terms with Slattery, the new boss; and they get along so well it'll be his money that will put them in again next year." "But WHY?" cried Samuel dazed.
They knew now what to do. The flagging must be removed at once, before any one should go by! The hole would be big enough to let them out! Old Man Andersen's heart leaped. It was over. They had won. Trust him to go where they'd never get him for the Slattery business! As for Detroit Jim, he already knew the next big trick that he would pull off out in Cleveland!
They sent their wives and daughters to hear the Slattery female defame women who had given up the pleasures of the world and were devoting their lives to the reclamation of such unclean creatures as herself. Slattery's last harangue was delivered to men only and the house was packed with Baptists and Baylorites at half-a-dollar a head.
He wanted to pile boxes on the sidewalks in front of his warehouse, and he had come to Slattery and paid him two hundred dollars. "And Mr. Wygant!" exclaimed Samuel, as a sudden thought came to him. "Is it true that he is back of the organization?" "Good God!" laughed Callahan. "Did you hear him say that?" "Some one else told me," was the reply.
"I knew it would come out, I felt that it would. You've heard of Slattery the author?" "Never." "He is wonderful at expressing himself. He wrote a book called `The Secret Solved; or, Letter-writing Made Easy. It gives you models of all sorts of letters." Ida burst out laughing. "So you actually copied one."
Slattery's going to stand by you, if he can get the money." The Teller only tried to move his free hand to the shoulder Barrett had shaken. "Slattery wants to know," repeated the surgeon, gently moving the hand back upon the sheet. "He'll divvy up, when he gets it. He'll stand by you, old man."
