But she tells me," the priest continued, with a twinkle in his eye, "that she doles out the food and money prudently, and lectures once a week on the virtues of total abstinence and hard work." Even the doctor could not refrain from a dry chuckle at this aspect of Molly Healy's almsgiving. "Then the lectures are as fruitless as your sermons," he said. "If Michael O'Connor had copied Joe Sheahan ."
At the first sound of exploding revolvers, Phyllis had grown rigid, but the fusillade had not died away before she was flying along the hall to the porch. Brill Healy's voice, cold and cruel, came to her in even tones: "I reckon I've done this job right, boys. If he hadn't winged me, and if Jim hadn't butted in, I'd a-done it more thorough, though."
The Chinese call them "cow-cows" and understand them better than the Tagals, as they understand better the rice and the paddies. Once Thirteen was yanked out of Healy's hand as no volley of native shots had ever disordered. The mules were in a gorge trotting into the town of Indang.
For the first heavy bullet from Healy's .44 had crashed into the shoulder of his foe. The shock of it unsteadied the nester's aim. When the smoke cleared it showed the Bear Creek man sinking to the ground, and the right arm of the other hanging limply at his side.
His friend drew rein and looked with level eyes at him. "Phil, it's come to a show-down! Are you for Brill Healy or are you for me?" "I'm through with Brill." "Dead sure of that?" "Dead sure. Why?" "Because you've got to make your choice to-night whether you're going to stand with honest men or thieves. Healy's gang is rustling a bunch of cows gathered at the round-up.
Leutze's "Columbus Before the Council at Salamanca" is justly deemed one of the gems of the Old World, and has given him an imperishable name. Among the really great works of our own country is Healy's painting, "Webster's Reply to Hayne," now in Faneuil Hall. So with sculpture.
This put a crimp in Healy's story of having seen Keller in the Pass on the animal. Furthermore, it opened a new field for surmise. Brill Healy said that he had seen the horse with a wound in its flank. Now, how did he know it was wounded, since Slim had not mentioned this when he had telephoned?
I tell you he's a white man clear through. In my opinion, he's neither a rustler nor a bank robber." He was flushed and excited, but his gaze met that of his former friend and challenged him defiantly. Healy's eyes narrowed. He gazed at the boy darkly, as if he meant to read him through and through.
Mr Healy's newspaper and influence took a similar bent. Mr Dillon's majority, as usual helpless and indecisive, promulgated no particular policy. For Mr O'Brien and the United Irish League there could be no such balancings or doubts. It is good also to be able to say of Mr Davitt that he assisted in fighting the insidious attempt to denationalize the County and District Councils.
"I see you have quite made up your mind I'm a skunk," the wounded man told him amiably. "You robbed the bank at Noches and shot up three men that hadn't hurt you any," the boy retorted defiantly. "Not unless Jim Yeager is a liar." "Oh, Jim! No use going into that. He's your friend. I don't know why, but he is." "And you're Brill Healy's.
