"Did you know that it was he who beat the child-labor bill that he named the State senator on purpose to do it?" The doctor was staring at him. "The child-labor bill!" he gasped. "Is THAT what you mean?" "Yes, Dr. Vince," said Samuel. "Surely you didn't know that!" "Why, I know that Mr. Wygant is very much opposed to the bill. He has opposed it openly.
Rick tensed. If the houseboaters were going to contact the barber, they would naturally try to choose a time when they could see him alone. Maybe there had been an earlier contact, and the barber had told them he would be alone today. That might account for the houseboat's moving closer to Whiteside. "Vince had gone fishing." The editor grinned.
Vince? "he persisted. "Yes, I see that," said the doctor. "And you told me that the only way to escape from that was to live for others to serve them and help them. And isn't that what I'm trying to do?" "Yes, my boy, that is so. But what can we do?" "Why, doctor, aren't you the head of the church? And the people come to you to be taught.
"I dare you!" he cried. "I am going," said the boy simply; and the burglar slapped his thigh in delight. "Go on!" he chuckled. "Sock it to him, Sammy! And come back and tell me about it!" "Dr. Vince is at lunch," said the maid who answered the bell. "Please tell him I must see him at once," said Samuel. "It's something very important."
Vince, a great wave of desolation swept over him. He was alone again, and all the world was against him! For a moment he had an impulse to turn back. After all, he was only a boy; and who was he, to set himself up against the wise and great? But then like a stab, came again the thought which drove him always the thought of the people, suffering and starving!
Standing on the quarter-deck where but an hour or two before Captain Christopher Vince had stood commanding his fine corvette as she sailed down upon her pirate enemy, Blackbeard had brought before him all the survivors of the Badger's crew. "Well, you're a lot of damnable knaves," said he, "and you have cost me many a good man this day.
And she ran halfway down the hall, exclaiming: "He's come! I told you he'd come! Papa!" A man appeared at the dining room door, and stood staring at Samuel. "There he is, papa!" cried Ethel beside herself with delight. "There's my burglar!" Dr. Vince came down the hall. He was a stockily built gentleman with a rather florid complexion and bushy beard. "Good morning," he said.
Scott, hatefully conscious of his inability to help on account of his injured leg, admits that he could not think of any further means to render assistance, but he says, 'as was always my experience in the Discovery, my companions were never wanting in resource. Soon the shrill screams of the siren were echoing among the hills, and in ten minutes after the suggestion had been made, a whaler was swinging alongside ready to search the cliffs on the chance of finding Vince.
Even in the infrequent event of the detection of them there was no evidence to justify the suspicion that the proprietors of the weighing machine were accessories to the pocket looting. Vince Marr was like that always playing safe for himself, always thinking a jump ahead of his crowd and a jump and a half ahead of the police. He was never the one to get into a rut and stay there.
"I should be glad to have you come to the church," said the other. "I'd like to very much," replied the boy. "I didn't know exactly if I ought to, you know." "I am sorry you got that impression," said Dr. Vince. "The church holds out its arms to everyone." "Well," began Samuel apologetically, "I knew that all the rich people went to St. Matthew's "
