"I wouldn't talk that way, Laura," she remarked. "Even in fun. That same evening Jadwin came to dinner with the two sisters and their aunt. The usual evening drive with Laura was foregone for this occasion. Jadwin had stayed very late at his office, and from there was to come direct to the Dearborns. Besides that, Nip the trotters were named Nip and Tuck was lame.
One of the dead redskins was a Wanderer, and a dead white man was that good-for-nothing Baptiste Masson I have often mentioned to you." "The fellow who traveled with Jean Bevoir?" "The same. I am inclined to think that the attack was organized by Flat Nose, of the Wanderers, and Bevoir. If you'll remember, Jadwin said Flat Nose, Bevoir, and Valette were very friendly." "What about Sam?"
Have ye heard o' Henry, an' the others?" "Yes, Henry is safe and so are most of the others. Cass and Lampton are dead. We were afraid you had been killed, too, until Louis Glotte told us you were a prisoner." And then James Morris told of the manner in which Dave, Jadwin, and Sanderson had followed up the trail. "Glad ye got Glotte a prisoner," said Barringford.
I know it's a strain, old man, but you want to keep yourself in hand if you go on with this thing. If you should break down now well, I don't like to think of what would happen. You ought to see a doctor." "Oh-h, fiddlesticks," exclaimed Jadwin, "I'm all right. I don't need a doctor, haven't time to see one anyhow. Don't you bother about me. I'm all right." Was he?
Cressler, and young Miss Gretry, an awkward, plain-faced girl of about nineteen, dressed extravagantly in a decollete gown of blue silk. Curtis Jadwin and Cressler himself stood by the open fireplace smoking.
"When your boys come in for their orders, tell them for to-day just to support the market. If there's much wheat offered they'd better buy it. Tell them not to let the market go below a dollar twenty. When I come back we'll make out those cables." That day Jadwin carried out his programme so vehemently announced to his broker.
Jadwin turned to Hargus, with a solemn wink. "He did slam it after all, didn't he?" The old fellow, however, sat fingering the two checks in silence. Then he looked up at Jadwin, scared and trembling. "I I don't know," he murmured, feebly. "I am a very old man. This this is a great deal of money, sir. I I can't say; I I don't know. I'm an old man ... an old man." "You won't lose 'em, now?"
"No servants now, Laura, to carry our things down for us and open the door; and it's a hack, old girl, instead of the victoria." "What if it is?" she cried. "What do servants, money, and all amount to now?" As Jadwin laid his hand upon the knob of the front door, he all at once put down his valise and put his arm about his wife.
Jadwin was not home yet, and she was distressed at the thought of keeping dinner waiting. He usually came back from down town at five o'clock, and even earlier.
Jadwin was beaten, I guess they found out how they were mistaken. For a time there, we were just driving them. But then Mr. Gretry sent word to us in the Pit to sell, and we couldn't hold them. They came back at us like wolves; they beat the price down five cents, in as many minutes. We had to quit selling, and buy again. But then Mr. Jadwin went at them with a rush. Oh, it was grand!
