It was a considerable tax on Reginald's temper to be addressed in language like this, even by a lady, and he could not help retorting rather hotly, "I'm glad you are only a woman, Mrs Wrigley, for I wouldn't stand being called a thief by a man, I assure you!" "Oh, don't let that make any difference!" said she, fairly in a rage, and advancing up to him. "Knock me down and welcome!
The exact figures are as follows: MILES. Edmonton to Athabasca Landing 40 To Port McMurray 240 Fort Chippewyan 185 Smith Landing 102 Fort Smith 16 Fort Resolution 194 Fort Providence 168 Fort Simpson 161 Fort Wrigley 136 Fort Norman 184 Fort Good Hope 174 Fort Macpherson 282 Total 1882
He drew his chair confidentially beside that of the injured Mrs Wrigley, and drank in the story of her woes with an interest that quite won her heart.
"We've been imposing on no one," said Reginald warmly. "You have no right to say that, Mrs Wrigley." His honest indignation startled the good lady. "Then why don't you send the things?" she demanded, in a milder tone. "There are a great many orders to attend to, and they have to be taken in order as we receive them.

He impounded the document, envelope and all, cross-examined and brow-beat his own witness in fact, did all a rising young lawyer ought to do, and concluded in judicial tones, "Very good, Mrs Wrigley; I think we can do something for you. I think we know something of the parties. Leave it to us, madam; we will put you right." "I hope you will," said the lady.
"But Jimmy, he gave us a swell new lead on the story. Schurman was murdered. Everybody here said he had committed suicide. As for Wrigley, that appears to have been an honest drowning. He was really drowned. We're looking it up just the same, but we have the old bird's word for it that he died by drowning. Say, Jimmy doesn't that bird ever sleep. He was busy as a bee all night.
But I thought you might make a story out of the way a guy like me with all my experience dogin' coppers can play himself for a sucker.
