"I ain't nothin' that belongs to ye, and ye'd better go back where ye comed from, Mister and don't come no nearer!" As the squatter spoke, his lips spread wide over his teeth, and he began picking up and laying down the bits of white wood. He did it deliberately, and no one present imagined how the sight of Vandecar tore at his heartstrings.
He did not forget to add that he believed Shellington had lied to him the night he came into the dining-room and discovered Fledra and Floyd with the two little animals. When a shade passed over the governor's face, Everett quickly noted that he had made a mistake in the drawing of conclusions. "Don't be too hasty, Everett," cautioned Vandecar, shaking an ash deliberately from his cigar.
Wee Mildred Vandecar was ushered into the world during one of the worst March storms ever known in the western part of New York. As she lay snuggled in laces in her father's home, a tall man walked down a lane, four miles from Ithaca, with her sleeping sister in his arms. The dark baby head was covered by a ragged shawl; two tender, naked feet protruded from under a coarse skirt.
They came to Ann and Horace " Fledra Vandecar gave a glad little cry. "It was he, then, the pretty boy that prayed! Oh, Floyd, something told me! But you said he was here alone. Where is my girl?" "That's what I want to tell you, Fledra. Look at me, dear heart." The eyes, wandering first from his face, then to the door, fell upon him.
I didn't mean to hurt you " She stopped speaking, and the pain in his heart reached hers. "Floyd," she cried again, "is there anything the matter with with " "Hush, Fledra darling, little wife, will you be brave for my sake and for the sake of her?" His eyes were still full of tears as he touched the bundle on the bed. "But my babies!" moaned Mrs. Vandecar.
"Then you brought her back here, and I discovered that she was mine, and I came for her. Lon Cronk, you give me back my girl, and I'll," he whitened to the very lips, and repeated, "and I'll give you back yours!" With a sweep of the arm Vandecar pushed Katherine forward. The very air grew dense with anxiety.
As she attempted to rise, Vandecar pushed her gently back into the chair and said: "I'm going for her, Beloved, and Horace has already gone Wait wait!" Vandecar was at the door in an instant, and when he opened it Ann appeared, leading Floyd by the hand. Mrs. Vandecar's eyes fastened themselves upon the boy, and, when Ann pushed him toward her, she rose and held out her arms.
Don't you think he'll do everything in his power to save her?... Don't don't sob that way!" Of a sudden Vandecar leaped to his feet. Brushing a lock of white hair from his damp brow, he turned to Floyd. "Before I do anything else, I must take you to your mother." "But ain't ye goin' for Flea?" demanded Floyd. "Of course, I am going for my girl," cried Vandecar, "as fast as a train can take me!"
Not more than half an hour after Everett had reached Sherwoods Lane, Governor Vandecar's train came to a halt at the same place, and the party, consisting of the governor, Ann Shellington, and Katherine Vandecar, made ready to step out into the night. "Please draw up to the switch," the governor instructed the conductor, "and I'll hail you as soon as we return. Keep an ear out for my call."
Her face expressed such commanding hauteur, she looked so like Floyd Vandecar when she threw up her head defiantly, that Cronk's big chest heaved with satisfaction. To take his grudge out upon her would be enough. He would cause her to suffer even more than had Midge. He waited for a few moments, with his eyes fastened upon her face, before he spoke.
