Just a little tenderfoot scout. You have seen him up here. Alfred McCord is his name. "And when Hervey Willetts found this little scout hot upon the trail, he forgot about the Eagle award, forgot about his near triumph, braved the anger and disappointment of his friends and comrades " The troop of which Hervey was a member arose in a sudden, impetuous burst of cheering, but Mr.
"I don't hear what ye say," shouted Jim, putting his hand to his ear. "What is it?" repeated the young man. "I'll kill that fellow to-night," he added to Lige Willetts. "Some one ought to have done it long ago." "What?" "I say, WHAT IS IT?" "I only wanted to say me and you certainly did fool these here Hoosiers this morning, huh?
"It's a pretty piece," observed Lige after a time. John could have choked him, but he answered: "Yes, it is seraphic." "Who made it up?" pursued Mr. Willetts. "Beethoven." "Foreigner, I expect. Yet in some way or another makes me think of fishing down on the Wabash bend in Vigo, and camping out nights like this; it's a mighty pretty country around there especially at night."
"He already has, as you will remember, the arrow hidden somewhere about his person, and it is only a few steps to the edge of the tapestry behind which he has secreted the bow. If he takes a look opposite, it is at the moment when both Mrs. Taylor and Miss Willetts are screened from his view by one of the partitions separating the various sections.
He was showing strain by this time, and no delay was made to press their point. Giving the tapestry a pull, the Coroner bade him tell what he saw behind it. The answer came with much emotion. "The bow! The bow which sped the arrow which killed Miss Willetts. I do not want to see it. It hurts me hurts me physically. Let me go, I entreat." "Mr.
La Flèche's hand is similar in length and weight to the one found lying strung for use in the doorway back of where you are now standing. The arrow is from the same quiver as the one which entered Miss Willetts' breast.... Did you speak?" No, Mr.
He did not set the dish down when she put it in his hand, but held it straight out before him, just looking at it, until Mr. Willetts had a dangerous choking fit, for which Minnie was very proud of Lige; no one could have suspected that it was the veil of laughter.
There was a convulsive struggle, a hard flinging of arms, a straining wrestle, and then Willetts was in a dreadful position. Shefford held him in iron grasp. "You damned, white-livered hypocrite I'm liable to kill you!" cried Shefford. "I watched you and Glen Naspa that day up on the mountain. I saw you embrace her. I saw that she loved you. Tell THAT, you liar! That'll be enough."
Shefford saw another mustang, standing bridle down and carrying a pack behind the saddle. Some squaws with children hanging behind their skirts were standing at the door of Hosteen Doetin's hogan. Shefford glanced in to see Glen Naspa, pale, quiet, almost sullen. Willetts stood with his hands spread.
However, she seemed to attach no particular importance to it, and, instead of opening it, leaned toward him, still holding one of his hands. "These awful old men!" Harkless groaned inwardly as he handed the horses over to the judge. "I dare say he'll kiss her, too." But, when the editor and Mr. Willetts had gone, it was Helen who kissed Fisbee.
