"They are sending soldiers to the Midas to lie in ambush, and you must warn the Vigilantes." Cherry paled at this and ejaculated: "Good Lord! Roy said he'd lead an attack to-night." The two stared at each other. "If I succeed with Struve I can stop it all all of this injustice and crime everything." "Do you realize what you're risking?" Cherry demanded. "That man is an animal.
Dunke, that you are now looking for to murder!" She gave it to him straight from the shoulder, her eyes holding his steadily. "Struve?" he gasped, taken completely aback. "No, not Struve. The man who stood beside Lieutenant Fraser, the one you threatened to kill because he backed the law." "I guess you don't know all the facts, Miss Kinney."
The politician had worked with incredible swiftness and system, and a fortnight after landing he had made good his boast to Struve, and was in charge of every good claim in the district, the owners were ousted, their appeals argued and denied, and the court gone for thirty days, leaving him a clear field for his operations.
He, too, was now listening intently. Again the low murmur, beyond a possibility of doubt. Both of them caught it. The girl opened her throat in a loud cry for help. An answering shout came back clear and strong. Struve wheeled and started up the arroyo, bending in and out among the cactus till he disappeared over the brow.
The measurement of the distance even of the nearest stars evaded astronomical research until Bessel and Struve arose in the early part of the present century. On some aspects of the problem of the extent of the universe light is being thrown even now.
"Those are my stockholders and that is their share in the venture. Oh, yes; we're incorporated under the laws of Arizona secret, of course; it would never do for the names to get out. I'm showing you this only because I want you to be satisfied who's behind me." "Lord! I'm satisfied," said Struve, laughing nervously.
"I'll let Struve think I have to make a call at Las Estrellas. I'll be out in five minutes." He thanked her with his eyes, opened the hall door, and went out. Virginia, having changed swiftly to her riding-togs, took up her little black emergency kit, which would lend an air of business urgency to her nocturnal ride with Norton, and stepped out into the hall.
Her mind was busy piecing out the facts of her brother's misspent life. As a little girl she remembered her big brother before he went away, good-natured, friendly, always ready to play with her. She was sure he had not been bad, only fatally weak. Even this man who had slain him was ready to testify to that. She came back from her absorption to find Struve outlining what he meant to do.
Struve fought and wrenched while his breath caught in his throat with horrid, sickening sounds, but gradually his eyes rolled farther and farther back till they stared out of his blackened visage, straight up towards the ceiling, towards the hole through which Glenister peered. His struggles lessened, his chin sagged, and his tongue protruded, then he sat loose and still.
Petersburg, ten or twelve miles north, is distinctly visible, and Struve told me that during the Crimean war he could see, through the great telescope, the men on the decks of the British ships besieging Kronstadt, thirty miles away. One drawback from which the astronomers suffer is the isolation of the place.
