Wisner has been absent in Europe on important business connected with the war loan I read that far to Old Man Wright and then he broke out. "War loan!" says he. "It's a loan for his own self that he's looking for. He's lost four million dollars on that irrigation scheme of his when he bought our ranch. Now I'm going to foreclose and he knows it.
"I've got to see him!" says she over and over again. "Well, if you want to see him," says I, "you go on over there and, like enough, you will see him before long. You belong that side the wall now. Tonight is when Old Man Wright and me settles with Old Man Wisner, and settles permanent. We live on this side." She turns now and runs away so fast I couldn't catch her.
The girls by this time had got so sometimes they'd talk about the Wisners. Bonnie Bell says now: "Why don't you call on the Wisners any more?" "Oh, because," says Katherine. "We're friendly, of course, for the families have lived in here so long; but Mrs. Wisner and mommah haven't been very warm since the last Charity Ball business." "I don't know about that," says Bonnie Bell. "Oh, Lord!
A collie ain't no slouch in a scrap, and if this dog wouldn't of been so young he like enough could of licked Peanut, all right. But, you see, Peanut he was taking care of his own folks, according to the way he figured it, and this was a intrusion on the part of the Wisner dog.
I was almost down to our front gate, with half a notion to go over and have a talk with them Wisner people, when I heard our William calling to me; he'd got out of the room where we locked him up and run around the back of the house. "Oh, Mr. Wilson! Mr. Wilson!" says he. "Hi beg of you, don't!" says he; and he come running after me. "What's the matter with you?" I ast him.
"A dollar and a half is more than any dog is worth," says I, "especial a dog that has anything to do with someone like that Wisner woman." "A dollar and a half!" says he. "A hundred and fifty is what it cost; this was a swell dog a young collie about a year old. Well, Bonnie Bell, she sends it round by James, our chauffore, with her compliments. Their butler takes it in.
The best time was when we all rounded up one spring out there at the station to go out on the ranch for the spring round-up, and to start things running for the year. Old Man Wisner and the old lady was there, and Old Man Wright and Jimmie and Bonnie Bell and me me that was foreman now and, like enough, earning it, the way things had been let go to pieces.
Anyway, when she tried for the Dames they threw her down. Mommah was Regent or something of the Dames then too not that I think mommah would do anything that isn't fair. But Old Lady Wisner got her back up then, and she's been hard to curry ever since. We don't try." "Well," says Bonnie Bell, "isn't that strange? I thought everybody in the Row was friendly except except "
"He's gone back to the mountains," he announced. "Sent word for you to get to the port before dawn, if you have to walk. See Mr. Wisner there. He'll arrange everything." "Will Mr. Perk Dr. Pruyn be there?" asked Mr. Brewster. "He didn't say." "But he's gone without his coat!" "And goggles," said Cluff. "And his pass," added Sherwen. "Trust him to come back for them when he gets ready.
"No," says the old man, falling into one of them thinking spells. "No; they didn't." Then after about half a hour he says: "Nor they can't, neither. It'll cost that old miser, Dave Wisner, about three or four million dollars," says he.
