Stickney walked close to the desk and displayed a flash of curiosity when Britt laid his forearm over his writing. "Spring pome, or only a novel?" queried Stickney, genially, figuring that such a question was the height of humor when put to a man of Tasper Britt's flinty, practical nature. Mr.
In fact, an itinerant evangelist who called himself "The Light of the World" had come to town and was trying to exhort the inhabitants into rebellion against conditions, and in his crack-brained hysteria was having some success in exciting "The Children" to protest against the domination by Tasper Britt. Mr.
In order to impress a peddler or other transient guest the creditor was in the habit of calling in Files and ordering him to recook portions. In his new sense of expansion as a magnate, Tasper Britt took his time about eating and allowed men with whom he had dealings to come into the dining room and sit down opposite and state their cases.
Britt's expression when the banker replied to a question as to how she was getting on with her work. "Yes, siree, she's a smart girl," corroborated the father, "and I have always impressed on her mind that some day she was bound to rise high and get what she deserves to have. Come early, Tasper, and we'll make a pleasant evening of it." Mr.
But when he came back from the field in the afternoon, he returned from conferences with Egyptian skeptics who had not seen Tasper Britt in his new form, and therefore, perhaps, their assertions had caused Elias to doubt the evidences of his own senses. At any rate, the Prophet resolved to put the reform of Pharaoh to the test of texts, and he raised his voice and declaimed.
"I simply state that His Honor the Mayor is under-somewhere! I never saw any signs of his being a coward but a lot of us have never been tested by a real crisis, you know!" "You say he has no power in politics! Could he do anything in a case like this?" Tasper clawed his hand over his head and the crest of his pompadour bristled more horrently.
Therefore the Squire's tactics were successful, and the talk at the supper table over the hot biscuits and the cold chicken and the damson preserves was concerned merely with the characters of the brothers Britt. Squire Hexter did mention, casually, that Frank had succeeded in inducing Tasper to stop whipping Usial. Xoa reached and patted the young man's arm and blessed him with her eyes.
As in the instance of other pent-up explosives, only the right kind of a jar was needed to "trip" the mass. The threat of a rival even of such a preposterous rival as Tasper Britt served as detonator in the case of Frank Vaniman, and the explosion of his emotions produced sympathetic results in the girl across the table from him.
A smutted heading in wood type was smeared across the top of the page. It counseled: VOTE FOR BRITT. GIVE PHARAOH HIS KINGLY CROWN There was a broad, blank space in one of the upper corners of the sheet. Under the space was this explanation: Portrait of Tasper Britt, with his latest improvements. But, on second thought, out of regard for the feelings of our readers, we omit the portrait.
Coventry Daunt, on the watch for her, opened the limousine's door and she plunged in. "Wallace! To the State House! Quick!" she commanded. When Tasper returned to the city-room he was told that somebody was waiting on the telephone. It was one of the men assigned to the matter on Capitol Hill; he was calling from a drug-store booth in that neighborhood.
