Belle took it up with Kate: "With him and John Lefever both nagging at me what can I do?" she demanded, greatly vexed. "I've got to marry a fat man anyway I fix it." When Lefever learned Belle's choice had fallen on his running mate he was naturally incensed: "I've been jobbed all 'round," he declared at Tenison's.
When he was finally dislodged, she sat down, still flushed from her walk and the nervousness Doctor Tenison's arrival caused her, and tried to bring the conversation into a normal channel. But an interruption occurred in the arrival of Harry and Julie in the runabout; the little boys swarmed down to examine it.
These pieces I have recounted, as they are ranged in Tenison's collection, because the editor has given no account of the time at which any of them were written. Some of them are of little value, more than as they gratify the mind with the picture of a great scholar, turning his learning into amusement; or show upon how great a variety of inquiries, the same mind has been successfully employed.
"This," repeated de Spain more than once, and somewhat testily, "is Henry de Spain speaking." "I'd like to have a little talk with you, Mr. de Spain." "Go ahead." "I don't mean over the telephone. Could you make it convenient to come down-town somewhere, say to Tenison's, any time this evening?"
You will hear many stories about me but you will say: 'I put the cartridges in his revolver with my own hands, and I know he won't abuse the means of defense I gave him myself. There can never be any real doubts or misunderstandings between us again, Nan, if you'll forgive me for making a fool of myself when I met you at Tenison's.
Scott gazed up the street through the rain lighted by yellow lamps on the obscure corners, and looked down the street toward the black reaches of the river. "If he's here, you'll find him in one of two places. Tenison's " "But we've just come from Tenison's," objected Lefever. "I mean, across the street, up-stairs; or at Jim Kitchen's barn.
De Spain heard him close. He closed his own instrument and began feverishly signalling central. "This is 101. Henry de Spain talking," he said briskly. "You just called me. Ten dollars for you, operator, if you can locate that call, quick!" There was a moment of delay at the central office, then the answer: "It came from 234 Tenison's saloon." "Give me your name, operator. Good.
Livery-stables were covered, the public resorts were put under observation, horsemen clattered up and down the street. Within an incredibly short time the town was rounded up, every outgoing trail watched, and search was under way for any one from Morgan's Gap, and especially for the sender of the telephone message. De Spain, after instructing Lefever, hastened to Tenison's.
It was the day after Tenison's big celebration that Kate rode into town for the mail, and after some shopping walked down to Belle's for lunch. Belle was at the butcher shop across the street, telephoning. She came in after a moment. "It seems to me you spend a good deal of time with that butcher," said Kate, significantly. "Oh, no, he's got a club foot. Has Harry Van Horn been shining up to you?"
"Ready to interview him now?" "I've got some telegrams to answer." "Those will keep. The Morgans are in town. We'll start out and find somebody." It was wet and sloppy outside, but Lefever was indifferent to the rain, and de Spain thought it would be undignified to complain of it. When, followed by Lefever, he walked into the lobby of Tenison's hotel a few moments later the office was empty.
