Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Her Father's Daughter"

I believe he had a dirty job he
wanted done and preferred to save his position and avoid risks by
getting some other Jap who had no family and no interests here,
to do it for him. I don't BELIEVE that your car, having run all
right Friday night, was shot to pieces Saturday morning so that
Donald went smash with it in a manner that might very easily have
killed him, or sent him to the hospital for months, while Oka
Sayye carried off the honors without competition I want to ask
you to find out whether your regular gardener truly was ill,
whether he has a family and interests to protect here, or whether
he is a man who could disappear in a night as Japs who have
leased land and have families cannot. I want to know about the
man who took your gardener's place, and I want the man who is
repairing your car interviewed very carefully as to what he found
the trouble with it."
Linda paused. Judge Whiting sat in deep thought, then he looked
at Linda.
"I see," he said at last. "Thank you very much for coming to me.
All these things and anything that develops from them shall be
handled carefully. Of course you know that Donald is my only son
and you can realize what he is to me and to his mother and
sister."
"It is because I do realize that," said Linda, "that I am here.
I appreciate his friendship, but it is not for my own interests
that I am asking to have him taken care of while he wages his
mental war with this Jap.
