I 'lowed the student doctors would 'a' had you, long ago." Pros ventured no reply, save a wagging of the head. "That's Blaylock's cousin," he muttered to Johnnie. "Mighty glad we never went near 'em last night." Once or twice they were delayed to talk. Johnnie would have hurried on, but her uncle warned her with a look to do nothing unusual. Everybody spoke to them of Gray Stoddard.
Thus "justice" was perverted to the vile ends of the conscienceless scoundrels who posed as "officers of the law." Charles Warren Stoddard, one of California's sweetest poets, realized to the full the mercenary treatment the Missions and the Indians had received, and one of the latest and also most powerful poems he ever wrote, "The Bells of San Gabriel," deals with this spoliation as a theme.
Stoddard was summoned, and the last barrier was lifted in the hearty greeting between the manly boy and a veteran of their mutual occupation. The shipment sold early in the day. An hour before noon, an interested party left the commission office and sauntered forth to watch the beeves cross the scale.
Agatha walked into the parlor, in spite of the girl's hesitation In inviting her, and directed her to say to Mrs. Stoddard that Miss Redmond, from the old red house, wished particularly to see her. The girl's face assumed an expression of intelligent and ecstatic curiosity. "Oh!" she breathed. Then, "She's putting up plums, but she can come out in a few minutes."
She was with him, that was enough; let the stock gamblers rage. He had won in the very first bout. "But my dear Miss Fortune," began Stoddard, still smiling, "do you realize what you have done? You have rejected a profit, at the very least, of one or two million dollars." "That may be," she said, "but I prefer not to take it unless we give something in return."
"I've never been inside the old red house since he died," said Mrs. Stoddard. "I'm sorry!" cried Agatha. "It is hard for you to come there, I know." "He maketh the rough places plain," chanted Susan Stoddard. "Hercules was a good brother and a good man!" Agatha laid her arm about the older woman's shoulder, and thus was led out to Little Simon's buggy.
I I don't want to speak harshly of John, but I must in truth say that she's the one among my Uplift Club girls that has been least satisfactory to me." "In what way?" inquired Stoddard in an even, quiet tone.
I " she hesitated "I thought maybe we could get your brother Hartley's car. I could run it I could run a car." The bitterness that had racked Lydia Sessions's heart for more than forty-eight hours culminated. She had been instrumental in putting Gray Stoddard in mortal danger and now if he was to be helped, assistance would come through Johnnie Consadine! It was more than she could bear.
Of the latter, the poet Stoddard says: "Beyond all the women of the Victorian era, she is the most of an Elizabethan.... She has tracked the ocean journeyings of Drake, Raleigh, and Frobisher, and others to whom the Spanish main was a second home, the El Dorado of which Columbus and his followers dreamed in their stormy slumbers.... The first of her poems in this volume, Rosamund, is a masterly battle idyl."
In 1912 the annual convention was held at New Haven, where after much difficulty Miss Pierson had organized a flourishing Equal Franchise League with Mrs. Carlos F. Stoddard president. A Political Equality Club had existed here from before the opening of the century but its membership was small and it made no appeal to a large number of women who were ready to come out for suffrage.
