It was not public advertising; it was money cunningly expended where it would do most good. Fifty per cent of the money the gang earned was laid away to make future returns surer. In twenty places Allister had his paid men who, working from behind the scenes, gained priceless information and sent word of it to the outlaw. Trusted officials in great companies were in communication with him.
"I want to see him because I love him, and because he loves me, and because " He paused. "Have you anything to say to him that I could tell him afterwards? But he will be sure to come." "You could write and ask him, Shenac." "Yes; oh yes. Only Allister could do it better," said Shenac; "but I could let him know that you are longing to see him again."
When it was suggested that she and little Flora should pay a long-promised visit to their uncle, at whose house Hamish had passed so many weeks, and that they should go soon, that they might have the advantage of the fine autumn weather, she shrank from the proposal in dismay. "Not yet, Allister," she pleaded; "I shall like it by-and-by, but not yet." So nothing of the kind was urged again.
It was not at all like Allister, and Christina was filled with anxiety. What if Sandy and Neil had to be stopped in their college course? And Allister had furnished many a comfort on the farm that made life easier for them all and especially for John and had hinted that there might be a car in the Spring. If his money all went with the war, there would be never again any chance for her.
A thousand stories clustered about him: of how he killed Watkins; of how Langley, the famous Federal marshal, trailed him for five years and was finally killed in the duel which left Allister with that scar; of how he broke jail at Garrisonville and again at St. Luke City. In the imagination of Andrew he had loomed like a giant, some seven-foot prodigy, whiskered, savage of eye, terrible of voice.
"I know it now, Cousin Shenac," said Allister's sister; and in a moment Allister's arms were round them both. It was Angus Dhu's turn to be surprised now. He had not been so startled since the day that Shenac Bhan told him her mind down by the creek. The girls escaped, and Allister explained how matters stood.
Why, my half-brother 'd been 'most a hundred; I don't know but more." Captain Ball spoke in a cheerful tone; the audience meditated, and Captain Allister mentioned meekly that time did slip away. "Ever see any of 'em?" he inquired. In some way public interest was aroused in the niece. "Ever see any of 'em?" repeated the captain, in a loud tone.
I know he's more devil than man when it comes to gun play, but we'll meet him together. Give me your hand!" There was a riot in the brain of Andrew Lanning. The words of the outlaw had struck something in him that was like metal chiming on metal. Iron dust? That was it! The call of one blood to another, and he realized the truth of what Allister said.
Kirsty!" it cried; "open the door directly." "No, no, Kirsty!" I objected. "She'll shake wee Davie to bits, and haul Allister through the snow. She's afraid to touch me." Turkey thrust the poker in the fire; but Kirsty snatched it out, threw it down, and boxed his ears, which rough proceeding he took with the pleasantest laugh in the world. Kirsty could do what she pleased, for she was no tyrant.
Archibald is one of them." "Any way and every way, this marriage is a great sorrow to me." "I am not disputing that, Madame; but I am sure you remember what the minister was saying to you at his last visitation that every sorrow you got the mastery over was a benefactor." "The minister is not always orthodox, Allister." "He is a very good man; every one is saying that."
