Then his mind turned back a page in the book of his life and he lay considering the events of the previous evening: the scene with Barney and Old Jimmie and Maggie, their all denouncing him as a police stool-pigeon and a squealer, and Maggie's defiant departure to begin her long-dreamed-of career as a leading-woman and perhaps star in what she saw as great and thrilling adventures; his own enforced and frenzied flight; his strange method of reaching this splendid apartment; his meeting with the handsome, drink-befuddled young man in evening clothes; his meeting with the exquisitely gowned patrician Miss Sherwood, who had received him with the poise and frank friendliness of a democratic queen, and had immediately ordered him off to bed.
"As to the rest of it, the street of this town has usually been free for a man to think as he pleased." "You're a traitor and a squealer!" cried Barkley. "You're a damned cad!" retorted Dan Anderson, calmly. He stepped close to the other now, although his hands remained in his pockets.
Trubus whirled around and would have struck Clemm had not White intervened. "You squealer! You've betrayed me!" "No, I didn't!" cried Clemm, shrinking back. "I swear I didn't!" Sawyer reached for the phonograph records and held them up with a laconic smile. "There's no use in accusing anyone else, Trubus.
"That's the way to make it spurt," said the major, laughing. "The hot water-works don't approve of stones, Master Mark." The men were delighted with the hot springs, and after the fashion of sailors were pretty ready at giving them names according to their peculiarities. One was "The Grumbler;" another "The Bear-pit." A whistling hissing spring became "The Squealer."
While he spoke a figure had moved from Larry's closet with the silence of a swift shadow. It's thin hand gripped Barney's shoulder. "I guess I've got something on you!" it said. Barney whirled. "Red Hannigan!" he gasped. "Yes, Red Hannigan! you stool you squealer!" said Red Hannigan. "I heard you brag about being Barlow's stool, and I heard everything else you bragged about to Joe Ellison's girl.
One of them was this: that women like Grace Irving did not betray their lovers; that the code of the underworld was "death to the squealer"; that one played the game, and won or lost, and if he lost, took his medicine. If not Grace, then who? Somebody else in the hospital who knew her story, of course. But who? And again why?
The train rolled into the depot. We all bid the lady and gentleman and "Tommy" good-bye and got off. "Selah." A kicker, or squealer, always speaks of the money he has lost, against any game, as his money; while the gambler considers the money he loses, against any game, as lost; and it belongs to the person who won it, and you never hear one of them do any kicking.
She jerked away from him, and instantly she was the old Maggie: the Maggie who had jeered at him and defied him the night of his return from prison when he had announced his new plan the Maggie who had flaunted him as "stool" and "squealer" the evening she had left the Duchess's to enter upon this new career. "No, you're not going to take me out of this!" she flung at him.
Squinty made up his little mind that he was going to be very careful. Now that he was safely out of the pen again he did not want to be caught the second time. He did not want Don, or the farmer, to see him, so he crawled along, keeping as much out of sight as he could. "I wish my brothers, Wuff-Wuff or Squealer were with me," said Squinty softly to himself, in pig language.
