"Put that bar down!" commanded Jack Benson, standing unflinchingly before the angry rascal. "I'll put it down on your head, if you don't get out of here!" snarled the wretch. "Put it down, and consider yourself off duty here, for good and all," insisted Jack. "Are you going to get out of here, or shall I brain you?" screamed Truax, his face working in the height of his passion.
"It lies " Judge Truax began, and then stopped, and began again, in a more certain tone: "It lies at the discretion of this Court to sentence the prisoner to a term of imprisonment for two years, or for an indefinite period, or for life. Owing to On account of certain circumstances which were have arisen this sentence is suspended. This court stands adjourned."
The submarine boy felt confident that, in a stretch of trouble, he could thrash this guide of his in very short order. “Ah might jess well tell yo’ wheah we am gwine, sah,” volunteered the mulatto, presently. “Yes,” Benson retorted, drily. “I think you may.” “Marse Truax, sah, he done hab er powah ob trouble, sah, las’ wintah, wid rheumatiz, sah. He ’fraid he gwine cotch it again dis wintah, sah.
Harriet Fike of the Home Club, of dreams and work and the fight for suffrage. Una's marriage slipped away she was ardent and unstained again. Mamie's nod was worth months of Mr. Schwirtz's profuse masculine boasts. Within ten days, Mamie's friend, Mr. Fein, of Truax & Fein, the real-estate people, sent for Una and introduced her to Mr. Daniel T. Truax.
"For how long?" "Until ten o'clock to-night." "Be back by that hour, then," Jack replied. "If you're not, you'll find everything shut tight aboard here." Truax quickly signaled one of the hovering boats, and put off in it. Eph watched the boat for a few moments before he turned to Captain Jack to mutter: "Somehow, I wouldn't feel very badly about it if that fellow got lost on shore!"
As Eph and Truax crept forward over the arched upper hull of the "Farnum," Hal sounded the engine room signals and steered until the boat had gotten close enough to make the bow cable fast. Then the stern cable was made fast, with more line, to another buoy. "A neat hitch, Mr. Benson," came a voice from the bridge of the "Hudson," which lay a short distance away.
It is true that she quarreled with the engineer planning the walks and sewers, usurped authority and discharged him, and had to argue with Mr. Truax for three hours before he sustained her decision. Also, she spent an average of nine hours a day in waiting for people or in showing them about, and serving tea and biscuits to dusty female villa-hunters.
"This is where I go on smoking, anyway," declared Truax, insolently, striking a match and lighting his pipe again. Williamson reached over, snatching the pipe from between the other man's teeth and dumping out the coals, after which the machinist coolly dropped the pipe into one of his own pockets.
It was a state prison job, if the fellow had been caught at the time." "Well, there's one thing Truax was innocent of, anyway," laughed Captain Jack. "He didn't have any hand in the way I was tricked and robbed by the mulatto." "Blamed if I'm so sure he didn't have a hand in that, too," contended Eph Somers, stubbornly. "Yet Mr. Pollard recommended him," urged Jack.
That was all, and the submarine party had crossed the grounds to the gate through which they were to pass into the town of Annapolis. "Coming with us, Truax?" asked Williamson, as the party passed out into a dimly lighted street. "No," replied the fellow, sullenly. "I'll travel by myself." "You're welcome to," muttered Eph, under his breath.
