In the dressing room, a little later, Grant came up quietly and put forth his uninjured left hand. "Put it there, partner," he begged. "You sure turned the trick, and you held them down handsomely. It was a great victory." Springer seized the proffered hand, laughing to hide the fact that joy threatened to blind his eyes with tears.
"I won't pitch any more to-day, Eliot." Sitting alone on the bleachers, Roy Hooker sourly watched the continuation of practice. He saw Springer take a turn at pitching, to be followed finally by Rodney Grant, who laughingly warned the boys that he intended to strike them all out.
She loved him and deceived him only to obtain roles. And when she deceived him, it was done on the spur of the moment. Afterward she never thought of it. A typical woman! But she was imprudent; she smiled upon Joseph Springer in the hope that he would make her a member of the Comedie Francaise. Dechartre left her.
It was a mean piece of business all the way through," said Springer, drawing his hand nervously across his forehead, "an' I am powerful glad that I am well out of it. Now, Mr. George, seein' as how you belong to the army, mebbe I had oughter tell you something. You remember them two Greasers who shot that cowboy down to Rio Grande City, an' was put in jail for it, don't you?
The setter may be preferable when the ground is hard and rough; for he does not soon become foot-sore. He may even answer the purpose of a springer for pheasants and woodcocks, and may be valuable in recovering a wounded bird.
"Yes, me; and I didn't have on a playing suit. If Grant hadn't managed to steady down at the last moment, I'd gone onto the slab. What made you skin out, Phil?" After a few moments of silence, Springer forced himself by a great effort to speak: "I tut-told you I thought the game was o-over." "You might have waited for the rest of the bunch. If you'd done that you'd known it wasn't over.
Look out for him, Roddy, or he'll add you to his list. List' to my warning." Rodney Grant did not strike out, but, nevertheless, he failed to meet one of Hooker's shoots squarely, and the grammar school shortstop gathered in an easy grounder and threw to first for the third put-out. Roger Eliot lingered to speak a word to Hooker, and Springer, still unnoticed, plainly heard what he said.
"I'm glad as far as he is concerned," Springer whispered to himself; "but I'm sus-sorry for the rest of the fellows. It's a rotten piece of business, and Rackliff ought to be ashamed of himself." Where was Rackliff?
A fellow who would take the chances he did to save Lela Barker from drowning couldn't be frightened by Springer." "I've heard about that, too, and, as near as I can make out, Grant took those chances because he had to." "Had to? Why " "He had to after he got caught by the current and carried over the dam with the girl. There couldn't be any backing out then.
There is a story that he was wounded under Charles le Temeraire on the stricken field of Nancy, and painted these gemlike pictures in return for the care and nursing that he received in the Hospital of St. Jean, but "this story," says Professor Anton Springer, "may be placed in the same category as those of Durer's malevolent spouse, and of the licentiousness of the later Dutch painters."
