That done, and he saw to the doing of it himself, he climbed the stair in the Crow's Nest, meaning to snatch a little sleep before the labors and hazards of a new day should claim him. But McCloskey, the dour-faced, was waiting for him in the upper corridor with news that would not wait. "The trouble-makers have sent us their ultimatum at last," he said gruffly.
"Louise," she said, in her halting French, "I've not been very much trouble to you, have I?" "Not more than the usual. Young ladies are born to be the trouble-makers," responded Louise. "Because I didn't want to. And I should like some one to be sorry I am going," said Anne. "Here is the silver piece Mr. Patterson gave me. You take it, Louise.
Simms explained that they were some men he had sent for to help protect the herd. He had ordered them to report after dark, so that the trouble-makers might know nothing about the increased force. The rancher was determined to teach the cattle men of the free-grass range a lesson they would not soon forget. "What do you wish us to do?" asked Walter. "We are anxious to get busy."
For another half minute they could hear the man's progress through the brush. After that all was so still that Darrin and the others halted, gazing perplexedly at each other. "Where is he?" gasped Tom. "Which way did he go?" breathed Dan. Though they listened, neither sight nor sound now aided them. "Of all the sneaks and trouble-makers!" cried Dave Darrin indignantly.
"She may be sent on the jump and within a few hours. I have orders to take you to sea at once and find the Kennebunk. Our operator is sending out feeler messages for the battleship right now." "Then you will do nothing toward looking into this nest of trouble-makers on the island if there is such immediately?" "Not until we return." "And then," said Mr.
They discharged more than a score of the trouble-makers; and when this news spread at noon-time, the whole place burst into a flame of wrath. "Strike! strike!" was the cry. Jimmie was one of many who started a procession through the yards, shouting, singing, hurling menaces at the bosses, challenging all who proposed to return to work.
"Then, while you're here, sir, I'd be glad if you'd look up some of these acquaintances in town and find out for yourself just how the sentiment stands. We don't wish you to feel that we're a pair of trouble-makers who are doing our best to ruin the road with its future customers." "I believe I will go into town," mused Mr. Ellsworth. "Is there an automobile anywhere about here?"
The superintendent's eyes narrowed. "Who was missing out of the Angels crowd of trouble-makers yesterday, Mac?" "I hate to say," said the trainmaster. "God knows I don't want to put it all over any man unless it belongs to him, but I'm locoed every time it comes to that kind of a guess. Every bunch of letters I see spells just one name." "Go on," said Lidgerwood sharply.
There had been an extensive inquiry into Dunnan's associates and accomplices; Duke Angus was still hoping for positive proof to implicate Omfray of Glaspyth in the piracy. Dunnan had with him a dozen and a half employees of the Gorram shipyards whom he had corrupted. There was some technical ability among them, but for the most part they were agitators and trouble-makers and incompetent workmen.
The so-called revolutionists are either imported loafers and trouble-makers, or else they are drawn from that class of "hooligans" who have always made a noise around the Quebec hotels at night. They shout much: they swear abominably: but they have no real fight in them. They can be hired and used up to a certain point but beyond that they are worthless. It is a waste of money to employ them.
