There is some trouble about that, I think " "Oh, now we know why she is so anxious to be a little cow girl," teased Grace, while the others regarded Betty's pretty color gleefully. "Oh, Betty, Betty!" cried Mollie, shaking her head dolefully, "you are altogether hopeless!" For Allen Washburn, of whom Betty had spoken in connection with the ranch, was a very promising young lawyer.
Washburn, and I hope we shall see you often at the Hostess House." "It's very good of you," said Allen, still very much in the dark, and totally unable to keep his eyes from Betty's face. "Did you say the Hostess House?" "Yes. That's what we came down for," said Mollie, who had been quiet just about as long as she could. "To help run it, you know and everything."
I went to the steward, and gave him directions in regard to the lunch and dinner for the next day. Cornwood was smoking his cigar on the forecastle. I took the precaution to tell him that I wanted to see him in about half an hour or less, that he might not come into my room while I was engaged with Washburn. I had done some thinking over the matter of eavesdroppers on board.
They were on deck, next to the rail, where they could see the windows of my room. There was a skylight in the hurricane-deck overhead, which was always open in this climate when it did not rain. I said nothing about this opening, because I could hear any person's footsteps on the deck over me. Washburn came on deck soon after I had made this little arrangement.
"No, I didn't," said Mrs. Nelson, smiling as she pressed Betty's hand. "Now you will see what a schemer your mother is, my dear. I told him I hadn't definitely decided yet on any course, that I had already had a very good offer for my ranch, and that he would have to see Allen Washburn, our attorney.
I inquired, rather amused by the manner of my friend. "Since I came on board, I have found out something more than I knew before. Last evening, while you were ashore, Cornwood called a boat that was passing, and sent a letter ashore by the boatman," continued Washburn, as much dissatisfied as though he had been personally injured. "Of course that note went to Captain Boomsby."
Westerfelt, an' ef I ain't quick enough make a dash on foot fer that strip o' woods over thar in the field. The fences would keep 'em from followin', an' you might dodge 'em." When Washburn had gone into the stable, Westerfelt looked towards Harriet. She had walked only a few yards down the street and stood under the trees.
"Nonsense, Colonel Washburn. I tell you it is impossible to burst my gun impossible, sir! I have allowed for every emergency, and calculated every strain. I have a margin of safety equal to fifty per cent." "Very well, I hope it proves a success." "Of course it will. It is impossible to burst my gun! Now, are we ready for the test."
"I'll go for Washburn," said my father; "if I am quick I shall catch him at the dispensary." Five minutes later my father came back panting, followed by the doctor. This was a big, black-bearded man; added to which he had the knack of looking bigger than even he really was. He came down the kitchen stairs two at a time, shaking the whole house.
Israel Washburn represented Maine, Elihu B. Washburne represented Illinois, Cadwalader C. Washburne represented Wisconsin. They were descended of sturdy stock and inherited the ability and manly characteristics which had received consideration in four different States.
