Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER HI THAT fellow, that impertinent beggar who had taken a joke in earnest! Gone to Bannister and bought a newspaper! But why was he turning his cannon upon Dunleigh Mansfield? If he wanted Betty, why attack the father in this manner? The infernal blackguard! Mansfield picked up a cigarette. It would spoil his dinner, but the sudden craving for tobacco would not be denied. Of course he had purchased the invention outright, at an absurd figure. That was merely good business. If the inventor hadn't the brains and foresight to guard himself, that was none of Dunleigh Mansfield's affair. After a certain number of years, if the production reached a certain height, the inventor was to receive royalty. If a "certain height" had signified a computation beyond the possibilities of production, why hadn't the inventor looked into the facts and registered a protest? A perfectly legal business deal; the moral side of it was negligible. It just happened to be one of those newspaper sensations for which the American public clamoured. Spite, probably. The young fool had suddenly realized that Betty was as farout of his reach as the stars, and had now embarked upon a campaign of spite. But for all that, the madman had gone to Bannister; and madmen who accomplished things were dangerous. Of all the insane projects! But there occurred to Mansfield that there was a sinister phase to the affair. The young anarchist must be suppressed before he made any headway. He must find out how long the fool had been in Bannister and what success he was making of the sheet. Actually gone to Bannister to become a force! Very good. Mansfield knew all about editors and newspapers. He had eliminated more than one editor from the affairs of Bannister. Another was now due to follow his predecessors. An ana...

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III A PLASTER STATUETTE FITZGERALD'S view from his club window afforded the same impersonal outlook as from a window in a car. It was the two living currents, moving in opposite directions, each making toward a similar goal, only in a million different ways, that absorbed him. Subconsciously he was always counting, counting, now by fives, now by tens, but invariably found new entertainment ere he reached the respectable three numerals of an even hundred. Sometimes it was a silk hat which he followed till it became lost up the Avenue; and as often as not he would single out a waiting cabman and speculate on the quality of his fare; and other whimsies. That this was such and such a woman, or that was such and such a man never led him into any of that gossip so common among club-men who areout of touch with the vital things in life. Even when he espied a friend in this mysterious flow of souls, there was only a transient flash of recognition in his eyes. When he wasn't in the tennis-courts, or the billiard- or card-rooms, he was generally to be found in this corner. He had seen all manner of crowds, armies pursuing and retreating, vast concords in public squares, at coronations, at catastrophes, at play, and he never lost interest in watching them; they were the great expressions of humanity. This is perhaps the reason why his articles were always so rich in color. No two crowds were ever alike to him, consequently he never was at loss fof a fresh description. To-day the Italian vender of plaster statuettes Caught his eye. For an hour now the poor wretch hadn't even drawn the attention of one of the thousands passing. Fitzgerald felt sorry for him, and once the desire came to go over and buy out the Neapolitan; but he was too comfortable where he was, and beyond t...

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: in The Princess Hildegarde of Barscheit! My gloves and riding-crop slipped from my nerveless fingers to the floor. A numbing, wilting sensation wrinkled my spine. The Princess Hildegarde of Barscheit! She stood opposite me, the womanought I not to say girl?for whom I had been seeking, after a fashion, all these months! The beautiful madcap who took the duchy by the ears, every now and then, and tweaked them! The princess herself, here in this lonely old castle into which I had so carelessly stumbled! Romance, enchantment! Oddly enough, the picture of her riding a bicycle flashed through my brain, and this was followed by another, equally engaging, of the hussar who rode cross-country, to the horror of the conservative element at court. "The Princess Hildegarde!" I murmured stupidly. "Yes. I have asked you a question, sir. Or shall I put the question in French?"ironically. "Was it the duke who sent you here?" There was a look in her superb eyes which told me that it would have been to her infinite pleasure to run a sword through my black and villainous heart. Presently I recovered. With forced calm I stooped and collected my gloves and crop. "Your Highness, what the deuce has the duke to do with my affairs, or I with his ? As an American, you would scarcely expect me to meddle with your private affairs. You are the last person in the world I thought to meet this night. I represent the United States in this country, and though I am inordinately young, I have acquired the habit of attending to my own affairs." From the angry face in front of me I turned to the dismayed face beyond. There must have been a question in my glance. The young woman drew herself up proudly. "I am the Honorable Betty Moore." (The princess' schoolmate in England!) Her Highness st...
