"Did any one drive Sissy this mornin'?" asked Butler of Aileen, inquiring after a favorite family horse. Butler's plan, in case the detective was seen, was to give the impression that he was a horseman who had come either to buy or to sell. His name was Jonas Alderson, and be looked sufficiently like a horsetrader to be one. "I don't think so, father," replied Aileen. "I didn't. I'll find out."
Jimmy Stiles is the young gaffer I's trailin' that afternoon with that tan satchel from the Alderson Construction Company's office. No, the Chief didn't say anythin' to me 'bout him; but I knows where he is." "You do?" "Sure Mike! An' I proceeds to dry them tears the Queen's sheddin' by informin' her that the kid's within a few miles of her right now." "What? You mean he's " "Yep.
Presently I made out the sharp, imperious tones of Bothwell and the dogged persistent ones of Henry Fleming. "I'll do as I please. Understand that, my man!" The words were snapped out with a steel edge to them. "No, by thunder, you won't! I don't care about the cattleman, but Gallagher and Alderson were my shipmates. I'm no murderous pirate." "You'll hang for one, you fool, if you're not careful.
General Turner had borne the brunt of the fighting from the evening of the 22nd. He had not had a moment's rest night or day, all the troops along the broken section having been placed under his command. On Sunday evening General Alderson was superseded by General Plumer. At dusk we succeeded in gathering together most of our men that were about brigade headquarters.
Alderson himself is merely a figurehead of Nickleby's; for, as I told you before, the Alderson concern is ninety per cent. J. C. Nickleby. It was immediately after a secret meeting between these four men that the campaign fund contribution of fifty thousand dollars was made by the Alderson Construction Company. You know what happened to it.
He was pulled ashore again and returned two hours later with a second chest, this time leaving Yeager and Barbados on guard at the cache. Gallagher and Alderson were sent ashore later to join Tom's party for the night watch. A few more hours' work would be enough to lift the rest of the treasure.
Outside were Alderson with two other detectives and Mrs. Davis, standing perhaps five feet away. "Well," said Cowperwood, commandingly, looking at Alderson. "There's a gentleman down-stairs wishes to see the lady," said Alderson. "It's her father, I think," he added quietly. Cowperwood made way for Aileen, who swept by, furious at the presence of men and this exposure.
In such cases the opening may be large enough to allow a great part of the visceral constituents to pass into the thorax, sometimes seriously interfering with respiration and circulation by the pressure which ensues. Alderson reports a fatal case of diaphragmatic hernia with symptoms of pneumothorax. The stomach, spleen, omentum, and transverse colon were found lying in the left pleura.
Caine came to me this morning and asked me if I would go in with them." Dugan drove two nails into the shingle. "Do you know which of the men are stanch?" "No, sir. Can't say as I do, outside of Alderson. Tom's all right." "What about arms?" "They have plenty. They've been packed in a bulkhead, but Fleming and Caine gave them out to the men this morning." "The deuce! That looks ugly.
"Thought I saw him run down stairs when the beggars poured in on us here, sir," Alderson answered. Later the poor fellow was found in his berth, trembling like an aspen leaf. He had locked his door and buried his face in the pillows. A shock of red hair above a very white face appeared at the head of the companionway. "Is is it all over?" gasped a small voice. "Yes, Jimmie, right now it is.
