There were two possibilities, however; one, that the election close at hand might reverse the sympathies of those in power; the other, that Squeaks might find it unwise to use the weapon in his hands. Now was the Cedar Mountain House in peril, for Shay's support was essential. At a word from him, the police might call the club a disorderly house, and order it shut up.
Everywhere life was stirring; everywhere cries, calls, squeaks, chirps, rustlings, which only the wood-dweller knows how to interpret, broke in upon the twilight stillness. Kagax grinned and showed all his wicked little teeth as the many voices went up from lake and stream and forest. "Mine, all mine to kill," he snarled, and his eyes began to glow deep red.
Scarcely was her head resting on the pillow when there came from down the street the riffle of drums and the squeaks of fifes, and half in fright, and half in curiosity, the girl sprang up and pushed open her blinds. Toward the river she could see what looked like an approaching mob, but behind them could be distinguished horsemen.
