The challenge to argue the question of slavery from the Bible was thrown down on the floor of the Assembly, as stated. Presently I took up the gauntlet, and made this argument. The challenger never claimed his glove, then nor since; nor has anybody, so far as I know, attempted to refute this speech. Dr. Wisner having said that he would argue the question on the Bible at a following time, Dr.
Them people went away at last even our little Dutch band, though they give up hard. The Wisner house was dark, while ours was all lit up everything in it, including me, Curly. The papers said that the new alderman kept open house until a late hour. There was some truth in that the door was open all night long. At breakfast Old Man Wright was hungry, though he hadn't been to bed.
Yet, when you come to figure about it, I'd been responsible for a good many of those things and the way they come out, and I didn't get no credit for it. No foreman ever does. Old Lady Wisner, like I said, she was setting there and saying mostly: "Gawd bless me!" and "Gawd bless my soul!" nobody paying much attention to her.
How could his son be his hired man, and where was the hired man if this wasn't him? I felt myself begin to get sweaty on my face and all over. I'd been one awful fool, me. "Dave Wisner," says Old Man Wright, "I come acrost to settle things with you. Our account is some long. You've made it hard for me awful hard! when you made your hired man run off with my girl. Your son!
That leaves only one payment more. Somebody's going to be out in the cold before long; but it won't be us." "No," says I; "it'll be them grangers." "It ain't them that's going to get the worst of it it's Old Man Wisner," says he. "As for us, we can't go back there no more we're city folks now. I've got to stay here to watch Old Man Wisner a while and you've got to ride that fence.
Then he went out to where the brougham was standing in the street. One of the girls inside opened the door for him to get in maybe Sally Henderson. A paper come out, with a picture of the Wisner fence, showing the place where the hole had been broke through. It was marked with a star to show where it was at. The man that wrote the story said here was a modern case of Pyramus and Thisbe.
For she knowed, even if we didn't, like I told you just now she must of knowed it somehow there's one particular game that God Almighty plays so He can't lose." He groaned like I hated to hear. But he didn't weaken. I knowed he couldn't quit. Today was the day Old Man Wisner was to get home; and that evening me and Old Man Wright laid out to go over there and have a talk with him.
They made out some papers about houses and lots and stocks and things, how they was to be distributed in case of the deemise of the said John William Wright. Then after a while they come around to the papers in the big case we had against Old Man Wisner for the last deferred payment on the Circle Arrow trade that hadn't been paid yet and wouldn't be.
I sent the kid up stairs to her room to think things over. Then I set down in our ranch room to think things over myself, because I didn't hardly know what to do. While I was setting there in come Old Man Wright hisself from down town, and he was so happy I was shore he'd thought out some new devilment for his neighbor Wisner. "Well, Curly," says he, "what do you know?"
So far as the newcomer was concerned, however, he might as well not have been there; so he felt, with unwonted injury. The scientist, disregarding him wholly, shook hands with Sherwen. "Have you heard from Wisner yet?" "Yes. An hour ago." "What was his message?" "All right, any time to-day." "Good! Better get them down to-night, then, so they can start to- morrow morning." "Will Stark pass them?"
