Or, rather, “the Waye bird—and marry the other bird? | No man had ever yet scored off Mr. James, in or man-handled him (as this Waye had done) and lived to brag about it. Suppose he were to bump Waye off, run away with the Lauderdell skirt, “marry” her and settle down on the 100,000 coming to Her on her twenty-first birthday? Once married to him. she'd scon come across with the dough, too—all of it. He had a way with women, all right. Treat 'em rough and treat ’em often. And the girl would be glad enouga to marry him—or anybody else—to get away from the Monastery ... . if she were properly handled. .. . Jump at the chance. What girl in her right senses would refuse an honorable offer of marriage from Mr. James—apart from any ques- | tion of ‘the alternative—an incurable “iliness”? She'd certainly jump at the | chance if it were only to shortem her stay in that bed room by a.single | month. Yes—but what would the boss do? | What could he d r.
