Bok now devoted his attention to strengthening the fiction in his magazine. He sought Mark Twain, and bought his two new stories; he secured from Bret Harte a tale which he had just finished; and then ran the gamut of the best fiction writers of the day, and secured their best output. Marion Crawford, Conan Doyle, Sarah Orne Jewett, John Kendrick Bangs, Kate Douglas Wiggin, Hamlin Garland, Mrs.
Tutt to Miss Wiggin when he returned to the office upon the adjournment of court in the afternoon and replaced that ancient object in its accustomed resting-place "regarding that precious hat of mine" he eyed it affectionately "I can only say that I would as soon send myself to a dry-cleaning establishment as to permit its profanation by the iron of a haberdasher." Miss Wiggin laughed lightly.
Tutt rose and pointed toward the door. "Kindly remove yourself before I call the police," he said coldly. "I advise the firm of Scherer, Hunn, Greenbaum & Beck to retain criminal counsel. Your ten thousand may come in handy for that purpose." Mr. Tobias Greenbaum went. "And now, Miss Wiggin, how about a cup of tea?" said Mr. Tutt.
I remember his emerging from one of these placid interviews straight into the hands of his tormentors. "If she don't notice your clothes, Texas," said the Virginian, "just mention them to her." "Now yer've done offended her," shrilled Manassas Donohoe. "She heard that." "She'll hear you singin' sooprano," said Honey Wiggin.
"This is the cut-off trail," said McLean to me. "The same he brought her in by." The tracks were very clear, and evidently had been made by a person moving slowly. Whatever theories our various minds were now shaping, no one spoke a word to his neighbor, but we went along with a hush over us. After some walking, Wiggin suddenly stopped and pointed.
And while our innocent young Launcelot trudging uptown hardened his heart against Sadie Burch, by chance that lady figured in a short but poignant conversation between Mr. Ephraim Tutt and Miss Minerva Wiggin on the threshold of the room from which he had just departed. Miss Wiggin never trusted anybody but herself to lock up the offices, not even Mr.
Now this free, almost vulgar manner of speech was in reality foreign to both Tutt and Miss Wiggin and it was born of the instant, due doubtless to some peculiar juxtaposition of astral bodies in Cupid's horoscope unknown to them, but which none the less had its influence. Strange things happen on the eve of St. Agnes and on Midsummer Night even in law offices. Mrs.
Tutt pressed the button that summoned Willie. "When you haven't anything better to do," he said to her, "why don't you go round and see what has become of of Horse's Neck Extension?" "I will," assented Miss Wiggin. "It makes me feel rich just to talk about such things. I just love it." "Many a slick crook has taken advantage of just that kind of feeling," mused Mr. Tutt.
It is believed that the two men got away with at least four thousand dollars' worth of goods of various kinds during their recent campaign, of which none has been recovered except that stolen from Black and Wiggin.
Now Tutt would have liked to go to Atlantic City could he have gone by himself, but the idea of taking Abigail along robbed the idea of its attraction. She had got more than ever on his nerves of late.
