“
Third
and
last
time
.
”
“
No
.
”
“
Oh
,
go
to
the
devil
!
”
“
I
don
’
t
like
your
tone
,
Mr
.
Annixter
,
”
returned
Ruggles
,
flushing
angrily
.
“
I
don
’
t
give
a
curse
whether
you
like
it
or
not
,
”
retorted
Annixter
,
rising
and
thrusting
the
check
into
his
pocket
,
“
but
never
you
mind
,
Mr
.
Ruggles
,
you
and
S
.
Behrman
and
Genslinger
and
Shelgrim
and
the
whole
gang
of
thieves
of
you
—
you
’
ll
wake
this
State
of
California
up
some
of
these
days
by
going
just
one
little
bit
too
far
,
and
there
’
ll
be
an
election
of
Railroad
Commissioners
of
,
by
,
and
for
the
people
,
that
’
ll
get
a
twist
of
you
,
my
bunco
-
steering
friend
—
you
and
your
backers
and
cappers
and
swindlers
and
thimble
-
riggers
,
and
smash
you
,
lock
,
stock
,
and
barrel
.
That
’
s
my
tip
to
you
and
be
damned
to
you
,
Mr
.
Cyrus
Blackleg
Ruggles
.
”
Annixter
stormed
out
of
the
room
,
slamming
the
door
behind
him
,
and
Ruggles
,
trembling
with
anger
,
turned
to
his
desk
and
to
the
blotting
pad
written
all
over
with
the
words
LANDS
,
TWENTY
DOLLARS
,
TWO
AND
A
HALF
,
OPTION
,
and
,
over
and
over
again
,
with
great
swelling
curves
and
flourishes
,
RAILROAD
,
RAILROAD
,
RAILROAD
.
But
as
Annixter
passed
into
the
outside
office
,
on
the
other
side
of
the
wire
partition
he
noted
the
figure
of
a
man
at
the
counter
in
conversation
with
one
of
the
clerks
.
There
was
something
familiar
to
Annixter
’
s
eye
about
the
man
’
s
heavy
built
frame
,
his
great
shoulders
and
massive
back
,
and
as
he
spoke
to
the
clerk
in
a
tremendous
,
rumbling
voice
,
Annixter
promptly
recognised
Dyke
.
There
was
a
meeting
.
Annixter
liked
Dyke
,
as
did
every
one
else
in
and
about
Bonneville
.
He
paused
now
to
shake
hands
with
the
discharged
engineer
and
to
ask
about
his
little
daughter
,
Sidney
,
to
whom
he
knew
Dyke
was
devotedly
attached
.
“
Smartest
little
tad
in
Tulare
County
,
”
asserted
Dyke
.
“
She
’
s
getting
prettier
every
day
,
Mr
.
Annixter
.
THERE
’
S
a
little
tad
that
was
just
born
to
be
a
lady
.
Can
recite
the
whole
of
’
Snow
Bound
’
without
ever
stopping
.
You
don
’
t
believe
that
,
maybe
,
hey
?
Well
,
it
’
s
true
.
She
’
ll
be
just
old
enough
to
enter
the
Seminary
up
at
Marysville
next
winter
,
and
if
my
hop
business
pays
two
per
cent
.
on
the
investment
,
there
’
s
where
she
’
s
going
to
go
.
