"How could you know I was here?" she said, in bewilderment. "I didn't know," he said, slowly. "But, thank God, I have met you. I dread to think of your fatigue, but you will be glad just to see him again just to give him his last wish won't you?" he said, pleadingly. "Here is the telegraph-office. Shall I do it for you?" "No, thank you. I I must think how to word it. Please wait."
Michele returned to the Telegraph-Office, and sent a message to Chicacola asking for help. Before an answer came, he received a deputation of the elders of Tibasu, telling him that the Sub-Judge said his actions generally were "unconstitional," and trying to bully him.
An accident had occurred far down on the railway line, and the operator of the telegraph-office had that very day been stricken down with pleurisy and pneumonia. In despair the manager had sent to Jim, eagerly hoping that he might help them, for the Riders of the Plains were a sort of court of appeal for every trouble in the Far North. Instantly Jim was in the saddle with his troop.
"I'll be good," he murmured, as Lyndon Hobart came into the room. His goodness took the form of a speedy departure. She followed him to the door for a parting fling at him. "In your automobile you may reach a telegraph-office in about five minutes. With luck you may be engaged inside of an hour." "You have the advantage of me by fifty-five minutes," he flung back.
Flashes of light, the raising and lowering of a flag, the tapping of a finger, the long and short blasts of a steam whistle, spell out the words of the English language as readily as does the sounder in a telegraph-office. It may be interpreted by sight, touch, taste, hearing. With a wire, a battery and Vail's alphabet, telegraphy is entirely possible without any other appliances.
The telephone was close at hand. He called up the telegraph-office, dictated it and directed it to be sent immediately. He had been so engrossed in this task that he had noticed nothing else. Now he looked up. The room was still filled with children, but they were all laughing. It was a soundless laugh, and yet he heard it.
The lightning flashed from a good many eyes in the telegraph-office when the morning members of the associated press inquired why they had not been served with the latest news, why, in fact, the only item of any significance was reserved for the evening papers of the day.
Mitchell wanted to come, and so I brought him on." The old man tottered forward. For once he had no comment to make. He passed them, slowly ascended the steps, went into the waiting-room and sat down, leaning forward on his stout cane, which he held upright between his knees. "We'd have got here sooner, but he stopped at the telegraph-office.
"And now go; our time for further conversation will come later." But I did not stir. I read aloud the line she had given me and then said: "Madam, this address is either a true or a false one. Which, I shall soon know. For upon leaving here, I shall proceed immediately to the telegraph-office, from which I shall telegraph to the police station nearest to this address, for the information I desire.
Can we feel surprised that he was both astonished and perplexed? Proceeding to the booking-office he held a brief conversation with the clerks there; then he sauntered into the telegraph-office and delivered a message, after which he left the station with a quiet smile on his sedate countenance. Meanwhile let us fly through space with greater than railway speed and overtake the "Flying Dutchman."
