Can't you see don't you understand that you've helped kill that Essie Tisdale that blundering, ignorant Essie Tisdale who liked everybody and believed in everybody as she thought they liked and believed in her?" "Dear me! oh, dear me!" Mrs. Terriberry rubbed her forehead and groaned pathetically. Any consecutive line of thought outside the usual channels pulled Mrs.
Tutts when he opened a book and sat down by the open window. A murmur of voices which began shortly underneath his window did not disturb him, though subconsciously he was aware that one of them belonged to Essie Tisdale. It was not until he heard his own name that he lifted his eyes from the interesting pages before him. "You lak him I t'ink dat loafer dat fellow Van Lennop?"
She had, she felt sure, safeguarded herself so far as Essie Tisdale was concerned, yet she was not satisfied, for she seemed no nearer overcoming Van Lennop's prejudice than the day she had aroused it. He distinctly avoided her, and she did not believe in forcing issues.
He said he would take the risk; that right hand was more than half of him, his 'better half." Involuntarily Foster smiled in recognition of that dominant note in Tisdale. "But he never seemed more physically fit than on the night I left Seattle," he expostulated. "And there isn't a man in Alaska who understands the dangers and the precautions of frostbite better than Hollis Tisdale does."
There never was anything like it, but we called it The Fairy Isles." Tisdale nodded. "It was near the end of that reach I found myself. The channels gather below, you remember, and pour down a steep declivity under a natural causeway. But the charm and grandeur were lost on me that day.

It was difficult to interest large capital with competition so close." Tisdale paused; his glance moved from Mr. Bromley to the jury, his voice took its minor note. "Stuart Foster did hold himself responsible to those young fellows.
Even before he finished speaking her brows arched in protest, and he felt the invisible barrier stiffen hard as a wall. "We really must hurry, Mr. Tisdale," she said, rising. "Though it may be impossible to reach Wenatchee to-night, we must find some sort of house. And where there is a house, there must be housekeeping and" her voice wavered "a woman." "Of course," he answered.
"But her life was wrecked," she said at last. "She never could forget. Think of it! The terror of those weeks; the long-drawn suspense. She should not have stayed in Alaska. She should have gone home at the beginning. She was not able to help her husband. Her influence was lost." "True," Tisdale answered slowly. "Long before that day I found her, she must have known it was a losing fight.
"Go on," said Jimmie recklessly. "Let's have it over with." And Geraldine launched quickly into the story. It had been mercilessly and skilfully abridged. All those undercurrents of feeling, which Jimmie had faithfully noted, had been suppressed; and of David Weatherbee, whom Tisdale had made the hero of the adventure, there was not a word.
And the Press representative smiled. He had gathered little information in regard to the coal question, but in that notebook, buttoned snugly away in his coat, he had set down the papoose story, word for word. Tisdale did not follow the lieutenant aft. When the Aquila turned into Port Orchard, he still remained looking off her bows.
