Then followed a mangled report of the officer's visit to Beverly on government business, his recognition of Colonel Weatherby who was none other than the noted criminal, James J. Hathaway on the street in front of Cooper's Hotel, how the officer wired Washington for instructions and how Hathaway, alias Weatherby, escaped in the dead of night and had so far successfully eluded all pursuit.
Weatherby might be dead, but Kirby could have reached the headquarters camp and already be well on his way back with reinforcements. Hatch's gurgling was louder. And now Jas' had transferred his attention to the broken windows and what might be beyond them. There was a creaking above. Drew tried to deduce from those sounds whether one man or two moved overhead. The fire was dying fast.
Weatherby dropped the mare's hoof and raised a breathless question to Cynthia's face, while Lila asked quickly: "Does she know?" "Know what?" demanded Cynthia, turning grimly upon her. "Of course she knows that Jim is his father's son."
The whistle had a pleasant, cheery sound." "It must have been Jim Weatherby, I think: old Jacob's son." "Is he over here?" "To see Christopher yes." "Well, be sure to remind the servants to give him something to eat in the kitchen before he goes back, and I think, if he's a decent young man, I should like to have a little talk with him about his family.
Together we may be able to clear the name of James J. Hathaway who now calls himself Colonel James Weatherby from all reproach and so restore him to the esteem of his fellow men." "But we must not do that, even if we could!" cried Irene, quite distressed by the suggestion. "Why not, my dear?" The tone was so soft and cat-like that it alarmed Irene instantly.
There's but one thing I've ever seen that could compare with her for colour, and that's a damask rose that blooms in May on an old bush in the front yard. When all is said, however, that young Weatherby is no clodhopper, you know, and I'm not sure that he isn't worthier of her than any highsounding somebody across the water would have been.
At the store the usual group of loungers welcomed him, and among them he saw to his surprise the cheerful face of Jim Weatherby, a little clouded by the important news he was evidently seeking to hold back. "I tried to keep them from sending for you, Christopher," the young man explained. "It is no business of yours that is what I said."
"Well, well, this is all very interesting, mother," said Christopher, rising from his seat, "but I've promised old Jacob Weatherby to pass my word on his tobacco. On the way down, however, I'll cast my eyes about for a wife." "Between here and the Weatherbys' farm? Why, Christopher!"
