The little smile worked its way; and half in idleness, half in acquiescence, Mr. Gartney took the pencil and noted down a short list of items. "It's very little, Faith, you see." They ran thus: New York Central Railroad 20 shares. Michigan Central " 15 " Kinnicutt Branch " 10 " Mishaumok Insurance Co. 15 " Merchants Bank 30 "
The party disappeared upon its defeat in November, 1862, and Judge Thomas disappeared from politics. Mr. Kinnicutt, the Speaker, in 1842, was a gentleman of agreeable manners, fair presence, and respectable, moderate abilities. He administered the office with entire fairness.
Philip Rushleigh were, and where he was to leave her for the remainder of their stay. Margaret liked Kinnicutt better than any watering-place; and she and her father had made a little plan of their own, which, if Faith would go back with him, they would explain to her. So Faith went over to Lakeside to tea, and heard the plan.
"Whenst ye fust spoke o' digging" said Kinnicutt, interrupting a lengthening account of the bear's mental and moral graces, "I 'lowed ez ye mought be sayin' ez they air layin' off ter work agin in the Tanglefoot Mine." Ozias Crann lifted a scornful chin.
How I wish," Ozias Crann broke off fervently, "how I wish I could jes' git my hands on that money once!" He held out his hands, long and sinewy, and opened and shut them very fast. "Why, that would be stealin'!" exclaimed Kinnicutt with repulsion. "How so? 't ain't his'n now, sure he war jes' the agent ter pay it out," argued Crann, volubly. "It belongs ter the mine owners, then the company."
Faith had not known. She thought him very good. "Yes; he would do anything, I believe, for me or anybody I cared for." Faith was silent; and the strange fear came up in heart and throat. "I like Kinnicutt, thoroughly." "Yes," said Faith. "It is very beautiful here." "Not only that. I like the people. I like their simple fashions. One gets at human life and human nature here.
"Call off yer hound-dogs, Rufe," he cried irritably, "or I'll gin 'em a bullet ter swallow." "Ye air a plumb fool about that thar bar, Pete," Kinnicutt said sourly, calling off the hounds nevertheless. "That thar bar?" exclaimed Swofford. "Why, thar never war sech a bar!
Kinnicutt has begun to grow; and when places or people once take a start, there's no knowing what they may come to. Here's something for you, Faithie, that I dare say tells all about it." And he tossed over her shoulder, upon the table, a letter, bearing her name, in Margaret Rushleigh's chirography, upon the cover.
She and Paul had been so charmed with Kinnicutt and Lakeside; and there had happened to be a furnished house to let for the season close by the Morrises, and they had persuaded papa to take it. They were tired of the seashore, and Conway was getting crowded to death. They wanted a real summer in the country. And then this had turned up about the mills!
I'm sure Kinnicutt would seem nothing without him, now." "Faith! Will you help me to make a home here?" She could not speak. A great shock had fallen upon her whole nature, as if a thunderbolt she had had presentiment of, burst from a clear blue sky. They drove on for minutes, without another word. "Faith! You don't answer me. Must I take silence as I please?
