The Vigilantes would probably look upon his part as traitorous; and, at the very least, he had cut himself off from their support, the only support the Northland offered him. Henceforth he was a renegade, a pariah, hated alike by both factions. He purposely avoided sight of Stillman and turned his back when the Judge extended his hand with expressions of gratitude.
And I'm tired of dropping checks along the trail of public stenographers.... Suppose we talk terms. We haven't fixed on any salary, yet." Claire felt a rising impatience. His subterfuge seemed too childish and obvious. "That will depend on how much of my time you expect, Mr. Stillman." "Well, three times a week, anyway ... to start with.
All homely men are not suspicious characters. If they were, how would we be judged?" and the professor laughed in a jolly way. "You have quite decided to go through to Fremont this evening?" "Yes; I want to reach Stillman on Saturday there is to be a county fair there and to make it in time we must be moving to-night." Of course, there was no more to be said.
Stillman, standing between the camera, where the artist was burying his head under a black cloth, and the object to be photographed, "when we lived in Bartholomew county 'twas the year after we moved f'm Johnson county Foster and John they was little fellers then, and I did want the'r picters that bad, so I did. But the'r pap he 'lowed it was a waste o' money.
"I'm afraid that's out of the question, so long as the rain keeps up, Miss Robson," he said, in a tone of implied objection. "Perhaps if it should stop...." Claire settled back in her seat. Stillman was right. The storm was too furious to be lightly braved.
"Oh, my wife, if I had known, I would have taken better care of you." Ah, Mr. Stillman, you are not the only one who with remorseful heart cries, "If I had only known, if I had only known!" Life went on as usual at Stillman's after the mother had left them. For a while the father was kinder, but as time went on the old habit was resumed.
Associating the name of Lily Condor with his covert charities, he was almost persuaded that they lay back of this preposterous habit. And the more he thought about it the more he muttered and became convinced that Lily Condor was usually the topic of these vocal self-communings. Ned Stillman had always prided himself upon his sense of personal freedom concerning the trivial circumstances of life.
She took the satchel, and kissed her aunt on her thin, sallow cheek. "Good-morning, Miss Stillman," said Lily, sweetly, as she followed Maria. Aunt Maria said nothing at all; she gave Lily a grim nod, while her lips were tightly compressed. She turned the key in the door with an audible snap. "Well, good-bye, dear," said Lily to Maria.
"Peggy!" he cried; "Peggy, by all that's holy!" "Excuse me," I said, "Mr. and Mrs. Stillman Dane! And I must firmly request every one except Mr. and Mrs. Talbert, senior, to come with me at once to see the second steward about the seats in the dining-saloon." We got a good place at the end of the pier to watch the big boat swing out into the river.
The farm is a large one, the buildings substantial, and everything has a prosperous, well-to-do look. Mr. Stillman, the owner of these broad acres and the father of these three, Tom, Rachel, and Susy, as well as of three more girls and another stalwart son, is a stout, comfortable-looking man of forty-five or fifty.
