|
I was about to do this when cooler judgment prevailed.
|
|
It occurred to me that there would have to be an accounting.
|
|
To my surprise he began to show actual enthusiasm in my favor.
|
|
Robbery, bribery, fraud,

|
|
I suppose you wonder why she is coming up here.
|
|
How could he explain his possession of the sketch.
|
|
It seemed nearer to him since he had seen and talked with Gregson.
|
|
Her own betrayal of herself was like tonic to Philip.
|
|
He moved away as quietly as he had come.
|
|
The girl faced him, her eyes shining with sudden fear.
|
|
Close beside him gleamed the white fangs of the wolf-dog.
|
|
He looked at the handkerchief more, closely.
|
|
The lace was of a delicate ivory color, faintly tinted with yellow.
|
|
Philip stood undecided, his ears strained to catch the slightest sound.
|
|
Pearce's little eyes were fixed on him shrewdly.
|
|
I came for information more out of curiosity than anything else.
|
|
His immaculate appearance was gone.
|
|
Anyway, no one saw her like that.
|
|
Philip snatched at the letter which Gregson held out to him.
|
|
The men stared into each other's face.
|
|
Yes, it was a man who asked, a stranger.
|
|
The fourth and fifth days passed without any developments.
|
|
They closed now until his fingers were like cords of steel.

|
In a flash Philip followed its direction.
|
|
He would first hunt up Gregson and begin his work there.
|
|
What was the object of your little sensation.
|
|
But who was Eileen's double.
|
|
The promoter's eyes were heavy, with little puffy bags under them.
|
|
And now, down there, Eileen was waiting for him.
|
|
Then, and at supper, he tried to fathom her.
|
|
It was a large canoe.
|
|
What if she did not come to the rock.
|
|
A shadow was creeping over Pierre's eyes.
|
|
A trickle of fresh blood ran over his face.
|
|
Death had come with terrible suddenness.
|
|
Philip bent lower, and stared into the face of the dead man.
|
|
The singing voice approached rapidly.
|
|
He went down in midstream, searching the shadows of both shores.
|
|
For a full minute he crouched and listened.
|
|
He had barely entered this when he saw the glow of a fire.
|
|
A big canvas tent was the first thing to come within his vision.
|
|
Then you can arrange yourself comfortably among these robes in the bow.
|
|
Shall I carry you.
|
|
A maddening joy pounded in his brain.
|
|
You must sleep, he urged.
|
|
You, you would not keep the truth from me.
|
|
But there came no promise from the bow of the canoe.
|
|
She was sleeping under his protection as sweetly as a child.
|
|
Only, it is so wonderful, so almost impossible to believe.
|
|
If you only could know how I thank you.
|
|
Much, replied Jeanne, as tersely.
|
|
Instead, he joined her; and they ate like two hungry children.
|
|
I suppose you picked that lingo up among the Indians.
|
|
Was it the rendezvous of those who were striving to work his ruin.
|
|
Pierre obeys me when we are together.
|
|

|
|
A cry of joy burst from Philip's lips.
|
|
Philip began to feel that he had foolishly overestimated his strength.
|
|

|
|
He told himself that as he washed himself and groomed his disheveled clothes.

|
Ah, I had forgotten, he exclaimed.
|
|
But there was something even more startling than this resemblance.
|
|
I have to be careful of them, as they tear very easily.
|
|
Now these things had been struck dead within him.
|
|
For an instant he saw Pierre drawn like a silhouette against the sky.
|
|
Goodbye, Pierre, he shouted.
|
|
And MacDougall was beyond the trail, with three weeks to spare.

|

|
|
He was smooth-shaven, and his hair and eyes were black.
|
|

|
A strange fire burned in his eyes when Thorpe turned.
|
|
They look as though he had been drumming a piano all his life.
|
|
You want to go over and see his gang throw dirt.
