'Impossible, sir; my son could not slice the sleeve in her dress and inflict this priceless boon on her with affectionate violence. Even the hero of Dr. Therne failed there 'And rather irritated his pretty Jane, added Merton, who remembered this heroic adventure. 'It is a very hard case, he went on, 'but I fear that our methods are powerless. The only chance would be to divert young Mr.
Of him also the same question was asked, in answer to which he shook his head, whereon he was conducted, though without violence or being searched, to the coach, and shut into it with the plundered merchant. Then the thieves went to work with the next victim. "Dr. Therne," whispered Emma Becker, "you have a pistol, do you not?" I nodded my head. "Will you lend it me? You understand?"
At eight o'clock the ballot-boxes were sealed up and conveyed to the town-hall, where the counting commenced in the presence of the Mayor, the candidates, their agents, and the necessary officers and assistants. Box after box was opened and the papers counted out into separate heaps, those for Colford into one pile, those for Therne into another, the spoiled votes being kept by themselves.
I understand he told the Government that if they kept him waiting any longer he would stop his subscription to the party funds, and as that's 5000 pounds a year, they gave in, believing the seat to be a safe one. But that's just where they make their mistake, for if we get the right man the Rads will win." "And who is the right man?" "James Therne, Esq., M.D.," he answered quietly.
Strong, "Dr. Therne, whom they're trying at the court yonder, has come in for supper. Dr. Therne, that's my wife." Mrs. Strong rose and offered her hand. She was a thin person, with rather refined features, a weak mouth, and kindly blue eyes. "I'm sure you are welcome," she said in a small monotonous voice.
There were but seven papers left, and the candidate who secured four of them would be the winner of the election. "Twenty-three for Therne, twenty-four, twenty-five" a silence in which you could hear the breath of other men and the beating of your own heart. "Twenty-six for Therne, twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine, all for Therne."
"Oh, let be!" I answered angrily, "it is too late to talk of mistakes, we've got to see this thing through." "Yes, yes, Therne," he said with a dreary laugh, "unless it should happen to see us through." I left him, and went home just in time to dress. There were some people to dinner, at which Jane appeared.
A sudden impulse moved me to speak to him. "Sir Thomas," I began, "now that I have been acquitted by a jury " "Pray, Dr. Therne," he broke in, "say no more, for the less said the better. It is useless to offer explanations to a man whose wife you have murdered." "But, Sir Thomas, that is false. When I visited Lady Colford I knew nothing of my wife's condition."
"I guess," I said, "as much as you can tell me about 'the four. I have borne too long with those who have made your life that of a hunted therne, and rendered myself anxious and restless every day and hour that I have left you alone. Unless you will deny that they have done so Well, then, I will have peace for you and for myself.
The official opened the last packet and began to count aloud. The first vote was for "Therne," but bad, for the elector had written his name upon the paper. Then in succession came nine for "Colford." Now all interest in the result had died away, and a hum of talk arose from those present in the room, a whispered murmur of congratulations and condolences.
