60747Anything the matter?
60747Bag? 60747 Cab?"
60747Can I help you?
60747Do you have my suitcase?
60747It''s all right now?
60747Now will you please tell me what this is all about?
60747One left over, eh?
60747See anybody go out of here with a little red bag and an old battered suitcase?
60747Were you really asleep that time?
60747Where are we?
60747Who is Joe?
60747Would it be all right if we did n''t bother to report it?
60747And then what?
60747Besides, what good would it do?
60747But he was eying me with a"well- why- don''t- you- get- along?"
60747But what could I do?
60747Ca n''t we walk a little?"
60747How many minutes-- or seconds-- were left?
60747I had to stay to keep the balance wheel stationary until-- until what?
60747I said gently,"Why would he want to do a thing like that?"
60747I said,"What happens if nobody claims it?"
60747I used to think that some day I''d make a lot of money out of it, but how?
60747I watched it for a moment, then walked back to the entranceway where Julia was standing with the redcap, who said,"That man steal them suitcases?"
60747She just said,"Why?"
60747Suitcase?"
60747The girl said,"Why?"
60747The officer said,"Yes, miss?"
60747Why?"
21791Am I on my right course? 21791 And now, please, will you explain your duties?"
21791And what can the Pilot do to save such a situation as that?
21791And who on earth are they?
21791But who in the name of blue sky is this?
21791Discipline is it?
21791Do you think you''re the only one with troubles? 21791 Elongate, you little devils, would you?"
21791How do you like the machine?
21791Ignition off?
21791Is this what you mean?
21791Jolly good gliding angle,says someone; and another,"Beautifully quick controls, what?"
21791Oh, now I begin to see light,said she;"but just exactly how does it work?"
21791Petrol on?
21791Suppose we think about finishing it now? 21791 That''s quite clear, though rather unexpected; but how do you counteract the effect of the gusts when they try to overturn the Aeroplane sideways?"
21791That''s very pretty,said the Observer,"but how about Mechanical Difficulties, and Efficiency in respect of Flight?
21791The real thing, is it?
21791Well, what result?
21791What can the Rudder have to do with you?
21791What''s going to happen to us then? 21791 Whatever do you mean?"
21791You''ll never leave me now, when at last there is no one between us?
21791A strain on the Pilot?
21791And Efficiency, blushing very prettily at the compliment, then asked,"And how does the Centre of Gravity affect matters?"
21791And Efficiency, smiling and blushing, but practical as ever, says:"And you will never throw those Compromises in my face?"
21791And a body to fix them in, and tanks for oil and petrol, and a tail, and,"archly,"one of those dashing young Pilots, what?"
21791And now will you tell me, please, how the greatest Speed may be secured?"
21791And the Blackboard obligingly showed them as follows:[ Illustration]"Well, what do you think of that?"
21791And the Fabric''s quite mixed in its mind, and ejaculates,"Now, who would have thought I got more Lift from the top of the Surface than its bottom?"
21791And then truculently to the Distance Pieces, which run from rib to rib,"Just keep the Ribs from rolling, will you?
21791And then--"Contact?"
21791And what''s the use of grousing?
21791And"How is the Engine running?"
21791And, anyway, why has n''t such an obvious thing been done already?"
21791Anxiously he wondered"Are tunnels always straight?"
21791But what is this stream of bad language from the Exhaust Pipe, accompanied by gouts of smoke and vapour?
21791But what''s this?
21791Ca n''t I do better than that?"
21791Can I see a good landing- ground within gliding distance?"
21791Dear me, there are a lot more of us to- day, are n''t there?
21791Deserted, did I say?
21791Do n''t you think I ought to have a glimmering of them too?"
21791Had n''t we better get the engine and body covers off, just in case it''s really so?"
21791Have n''t I been through it too?
21791Have n''t they been my life ever since I began striving for you ten long years ago?"
21791How are we going to keep our adjustments upon which good flying depends?"
21791How can I describe them?
21791How does that suit you?"
21791Invading the realms of fancy?
21791It really begins to look something like the real thing, eh?"
21791Just thrust that chalk along, will you?
21791Lives there the man who can adequately describe this Wonder?
21791Now do you see?
21791Now where can that lake be which the map shows so plainly?
21791Now which is it to be?"
21791Now who''s Master?"
21791Oh, where is he who will invent a contrivance to keep me supplied with air of right density and quality?
21791Special Reserve, you say?
21791The point is, you press a button and----""Look here,"said a Strut, rather pointedly,"where do you think you are going, anyway?"
21791There will have to be an Engine and Propeller, wo n''t there?
21791Turning to the Flight- Sergeant he inquires,"Tanks full of petrol and oil?"
21791What did he do?
21791What do you say?"
21791What is that bright silver streak all along the horizon?
21791What old hand among them is there who can not instance many a forced landing made pleasant by such hospitality?
21791What pilot is there indeed who has not many times experienced such unpleasant sensation?
21791What was that?
21791What''s your Regiment?
21791What_ will_ the Designer say?"
21791Where''s Efficiency?"
21791Who is bold enough to say what its limits shall be?
21791You wo n''t mind showing us your Calculations, Working Drawings, Stress Diagrams, etc., will you?"
21791[ 3] Eh?"
21791[ Footnote 12: Getting out of my depth?
21791[ Illustration] But Efficiency, growing rather critical with her newly gained knowledge, cried out:"But where''s the horizontal Tail Surface?
21791[ Illustration]"And now,"said Efficiency,"I have only to meet the Ailerons and the Rudder, have n''t I?"
21791cry all the Wires in unison,"have n''t we got our troubles too?
21791despairingly call the Planes;"it''s eloping with the Lift, and what in the name of Gravity will happen?
12947A bomb, you say? 12947 And what are you doing here?"
12947But Hugh, who could it be trying out this awful explosive, and wanting to do it where no curious eyes could watch the operation?
12947But I''m sure I read lately that there has been talk of limiting the activities of air craft in war times?
12947But Ralph, you said there were no bears around here any more, so how could that be?
12947But do n''t shooting stars generally fall in the summer time, Hugh?
12947But how do you know that that impression was n''t made twenty- four hours ago?
12947But what would a flier be doing away up here, going around and around in the dark of night?
12947But, Hugh, what could it have been then?
12947By going on and breaking in on him, you mean?
12947Can you fix him up, Ralph?
12947Did n''t you see that--- where were your eyes that you did n''t see what poked out of the open door just then?
12947Did you fetch a blanket along with you, Ralph?
12947Did you recognize that face, Ralph?
12947Do meteors explode when they hit the earth, Hugh?
12947Do you mean to tell me that it was n''t a meteor that made all that racket the last two nights?
12947Do you think after that bombardment that they''ll be apt to clear out and give over trying to learn what Uncle Sam is up to?
12947Eh? 12947 How about you going in and telling him his room is better than his company?"
12947How did you find the honey tree,---by tracking the bees up the usual way?
12947How long will it take you to get your little machine dismantled, so we can handle it, Bud?
12947How shall we put in the rest of the day?
12947How''ll we get him out of there?
12947Hugh, did n''t we close that door when we came away; seems to me I can remember doing the same, after you told me it was best?
12947I think you said he looked a little like the German type, was n''t that about it, Ralph?
12947I was wondering whether those two men you saw could have had anything to do with that queer crash and flash?
12947I wonder if you can be the same Lieutenant Fosdick I''ve heard so much about from our Scout Master, a retired army officer named Lieutenant Denmead?
12947Is that so?
12947Meaning an aeroplane?
12947No doubt about what happened now, is there?
12947Perhaps you''ll make it two, if we decide to stay that long, eh, Ralph?
12947See that tree lying there chopped down?
12947So that''s what you call a war aeroplane, is it?
12947Sure you left them there on the pile of blankets, are you?
12947Then it''s all right, after all?
12947Then they are different from all others, I take it?
12947Then what made it, Hugh?
12947Then what opened it, do you think?
12947Then you do n''t think it could be a hobo?
12947W--- what''s that?
12947We''re just as anxious as you are to make some sort of discovery, eh, Hugh?
12947Well, well, who''d think you would drop in on me as if you came from the skies?
12947Well, what are we going to do about it?
12947What are we going to do next?
12947What did you find out, Hugh?
12947What did you think I was, Bud, a mule, or a Chinese porter used to carrying as much as half a ton on his back?
12947What is it, Ralph?
12947What is that, my boy?
12947What''s doing now, Bud?
12947What''s the matter with you?
12947Whatever can he be doing all by himself up here?
12947Whatever can it mean?
12947Where would the genius of a Napoleon have been,remarked Lieutenant Fosdick in turn,"if aeroplanes had been in common use as far back as Waterloo?
12947Which is to add to his alarm, I suppose?
12947Which one, would you say?
12947Who in the dickens was it?
12947Whoever can it be?
12947Why, what else would you expect?
12947Would these foreign spies dare attempt to ruin your war aeroplane, or try to blow you all up with some of your own explosive?
12947Yes,added the other, quickly,"but if that''s what they were, why should they act so queer?
12947''Cause why?
12947And I toted that all the way up here from the road, did I?
12947And in this country of ours, who can say what the future holds for any lad?
12947And now, shall we gather it up again and carry it to the cabin?"
12947And say, does n''t it strike you as funny that just one solitary meteor should take a notion to explode each night?"
12947And so he is spending his spare time in teaching the young idea how to shoot, but with the arms of peace rather than those of bloody war?
12947And sounds can be heard a long way off after sunset, ca n''t they, Hugh?"
12947And would they send out a rank odor like that?"
12947And you say that they''ve clean disappeared, have they, Bud?"
12947Bears do n''t eat dried weeds, do they?
12947Bud remarked; and then quickly added:"But how about the tenth time, Ralph?"
12947But then, they were up here to enjoy themselves, and what better way could they find of doing this than by feasting on real camp cooking?
12947But what makes you ask that, Bud?"
12947But what was this you said about one of your mates inventing something in connection with the management of aeroplanes?
12947But you said your mother was not feeling well; and so perhaps the feast has been postponed at your house to a more convenient time?"
12947Could that have been a meteor bursting, do you think, Hugh?"
12947Do n''t forget to take that, will you?"
12947Do n''t you agree with me, Ralph?"
12947Do you see it yet, boys?
12947Does it strike you that way, too, Hugh?"
12947Get that, do n''t you, Bud?"
12947Have you got cups and such things along in your packs, boys?"
12947How about that, Ralph?"
12947How do you know that?"
12947I''m glad we got off as well as we did, are n''t you, Hugh?"
12947Indeed, it was hardly half a minute later when Bud came to a sudden halt, at the same time saying in a hoarse whisper:"Hugh, look there, will you?
12947Oh, Hugh, that was why the old aeroplane kept circling all around, was n''t it?
12947Say, Hugh, we did n''t expect such a bully treat as this, did we, when we aimed to get here in time to cook supper?"
12947Seems to me I get a whiff of cooking, do n''t you?"
12947Served me right, too, but, anyhow, she worked, Hugh, did n''t she?"
12947Suppose there happened to be some desperate men hiding up here in these woods, say counterfeiters, for instance?
12947There, what did I tell you, Ralph?"
12947They were not tramps, Ralph?"
12947Want to know why?"
12947What d''ye think he''ll do next?"
12947What did I lay down here?
12947What did they do that looked suspicious?"
12947What do you think of the meanness of that?
12947What does he seem to be doing now, Bud?"
12947What if she had dropped right down on top of this shanty, boys?
12947What was the use of spoiling his pleasure for that glorious day?
12947What was the use?
12947Whatever are you doing up here, Hugh and Bud?"
12947When you do, please put me wise, wo n''t you?"
12947Why do n''t we get a move on and chase after him?
12947Will we just try to shoo him away, or give him a few cold chunks\ of lead?"
12947Wonder if it would make him run any faster if you banged away a couple of times with your gun, Ralph?"
12947Would n''t two such men want to scrape an acquaintance with us scouts, so as to get a few pointers?
12947You agree with me, do n''t you, Hugh?"
12947did you see that, fellows?
12947do n''t I hope it turns out that way, though?
12947do you really think so, Hugh?"
12947that seems queer, does n''t it?"
45485Alive?
45485All set?
45485And then?
45485And will the radio detector work at that height?
45485Any news?
45485Anything of special value on tonight?
45485Anything that looks familiar?
45485Anything to show that Ralph was hurt?
45485Are n''t you going to telephone the Fort you''re coming?
45485Are you ill?
45485But how about Ralph?
45485But how?
45485Ca n''t you make it?
45485Can a bronco do stunts like that?
45485Can you start on another assignment right away?
45485Did n''t see anyone?
45485Did you hear any strange sounds?
45485Do n''t you want something to eat?
45485Do you still want to beat up on him?
45485Do you think they were caught in the wreckage?
45485Do you think this may have something to do with the old Sky Hawk gang?
45485Find anything else?
45485Find anything of the fireman?
45485Get them?
45485Going to try and run the fire?
45485Got enough pictures?
45485Have any idea what he wants?
45485Have they been warned to watch for us and get in the clear when we start dropping the bombs?
45485Have you any clues?
45485Have you found any trace of either of them, except the fingerprints, near the scene of the attempted robbery?
45485Have you planned your trip back?
45485Hello, Murphy,said the officer,"what''s this I hear about you fellows running through a piece of burning timber?"
45485How about an autogyro?
45485How about it, old man?
45485How about the chances you''ve been taking?
45485How are you? 45485 How did they happen to get so close?"
45485How did you find out about it?
45485How did you happen to fall out of the cab?
45485How did you like the ride?
45485How does the new engine sound?
45485How fast will you travel?
45485How is the mail?
45485How is the situation in the valley?
45485How much?
45485Interested?
45485Is it safe to go up on a picture assignment for photos of those burning oil tanks?
45485Is n''t Ralph in; have n''t you heard from him?
45485Is n''t my work up to standard?
45485Is the_ Good News_ in condition to fly?
45485Is there any chance that you''ll lend it to me for a few days?
45485Just what for?
45485Notice anything peculiar about the fire while you were lying here?
45485Plane all ready to go?
45485Remember how you chased the Sky Hawk when he had the death ray?
45485Say, what the dickens have you been doing to this plane?
45485See anything of Ralph?
45485Someone get caught in the mountains?
45485Stay here? 45485 Sure you want to get to the airport?"
45485Sure you''ve got warm enough clothes? 45485 Then the stories we''ve uncovered in the last year have justified the expense of the plane?"
45485Then you''ve guessed what they must be using?
45485Trying to read''footprints in the sands of time''?
45485Well, what do you think of that?
45485Were you trying to put us all in the ditch?
45485What about the condition of the_ Good News_?
45485What are the latest reports?
45485What are the people doing?
45485What are they doing?
45485What are you going to do now?
45485What are you going to do?
45485What are you looking so gloomy about?
45485What bank?
45485What did Carson say?
45485What did you find?
45485What direction did they head?
45485What do you mean?
45485What do you mean?
45485What do you say to accepting the invitation Hank Cummins extended to visit at the Circle Four ranch for a month?
45485What do you think of it?
45485What do you want?
45485What for?
45485What news now?
45485What news?
45485What will we do?
45485What''s clicking in the old bean?
45485What''s the idea?
45485What''s the matter, Carl?
45485What''s this about Ralph being kidnapped?
45485What''s this about an attempt at a million dollar robbery?
45485What''s wrong?
45485What''s your name?
45485Where am I? 45485 Where are you going to eat tonight?"
45485Where is the reporter you kidnapped?
45485Where to?
45485Where was it?
45485Who were on the ships?
45485Who''s talking?
45485Why did n''t you tell him about the strange marks we found?
45485Why not?
45485Will it bump and jump around badly?
45485Wo n''t they get suspicious of what you''re up to?
45485Would half an hour make a great deal of difference?
45485You did n''t waste much time when you first stopped for the fire did you?
45485You mean the Sky Hawk''s old gang?
45485You mean to tell me you let them steal your plane?
45485You say you needed two men?
45485You think it may be some members of the old Sky Hawk gang?
45485But what else can I do?"
45485How about writing the story for the_ News_ before you turn in?"
45485How did you ever get out alive?"
45485How did you find the Flint hills?"
45485How do you feel?"
45485How would you like to ride the cab of the mail down to Vinton?"
45485Is Lewis all right?"
45485K.?"
45485Pleasant prospect, is n''t it?"
45485Same color job as before?"
45485Supposing he struck a mud puddle and nosed over?
45485Turning to the field manager, he asked,"Have you got a spare wheel that will fit that ship?"
45485Was there a chance that the pilot had survived the crash?
45485What could Ralph have been doing; what had he run into that had resulted in his kidnapping?
45485What say, boys?"
45485What say?"
45485What''s happened?"
45485Where''s Ralph?
45485Who fired for the rest of the run?"
45485Who would want to kidnap him and how had they done it?
45494All ashore who are going ashore?
45494All set?
45494Anything interesting?
45494Are they getting specimens?
45494At what-- be yourself or tell me what has set you off-- I do n''t see anything to laugh at--"No?
45494Buddy, I say, Old Timer, where are you?
45494Bugs drive you out of the sky?
45494But suppose we do not find them, or find they have been killed?
45494Can all the natives speak English?
45494Can we get them out?
45494Can you walk now?
45494Did n''t you have a blooming thing?
45494Did one of them look into your eyes?
45494Did you happen to see the butterfly flight? 45494 Do n''t they know the professor will come back with their families?"
45494Do n''t those boys want something to eat?
45494Do n''t you think you''d better take word to the settlement? 45494 Do they mind being away off alone?"
45494Does he have to conduct the investigation in that particular spot?
45494Does he own the earth?
45494Does n''t she miss them?
45494Eh, why did n''t you tell him it was a relation of the green emerald rings?
45494Ever see him before?
45494Figuring that we tramped twelve or fifteen hours all together, how many miles do you believe we covered?
45494Good Heavens, what they got into?
45494Gordon, who the blazes is Gordon?
45494Got the luggage?
45494Great heavens, was he insane?
45494Have you got any guns aboard?
45494Hear it now?
45494Hey, Mills, what''s the matter with you?
45494His fortune, how do you make that out?
45494Hoping they''ll come out on that hill?
45494How are we going to do it?
45494How are we going to manage it?
45494How can you bring our children back?
45494How did you happen to be here?
45494I say, who else are you expecting?
45494I''ve been in these parts many years and I''ve seen queer things--"Jinks, is n''t there any end to the curse?
45494If we send air men in after him are they likely to be in danger?
45494Is he dead?
45494Is that a threat or a promise?
45494Is there likely to be more than one passage through the Black Woods?
45494Like to take one home?
45494No? 45494 No?"
45494No?
45494No?
45494O--"Is something the matter?
45494Oh, you do n''t? 45494 Or only an extra pair of socks?"
45494Remember the chart readings?
45494Say, am I so funny?
45494Say, how do you get that way?
45494Say, where do you think you are going to take us?
45494Say, you guys know the way outta here''cept by plane?
45494See anyone else?
45494Shall I give you a pinch so you''ll be sure you are awake?
45494Stopped and looked at Mills?
45494Suits me,answered Captain Seaman crisply, then he turned to his wife,"Care to hop home with me, dear?"
45494Suppose he''s alive?
45494Suppose it could be the top of some temple that''s been buried by earthquakes?
45494Suppose we were there more than one round of the clock?
45494Sure that water did n''t knock you out?
45494Sure, en ai nt they outta luck?
45494Taking them both?
45494Tell us about this thing, will you?
45494Thank God you are safe, but, what was the idea?
45494That''s the place Martin is managing, is n''t it?
45494The man you said that you left back there?
45494The thoughtful lad who carted the gas to the plane when we were on the Island coming down with your dad?
45494There''s a plane here--"A plane?
45494Think we been traveling for hours with nothing in our stomachs?
45494Think we''d better let him go?
45494Thinking of taking some of them off?
45494Those kids--"What you waiting for?
45494Those white butterflies flew over your head?
45494Turn that gat, you fool--"Who took it?
45494Until the last butterfly passes?
45494Well, what''s this?
45494What are you carrying?
45494What are you doing here?
45494What did he look like?
45494What do you expect to learn around here, Buddy? 45494 What for?"
45494What happened to you?
45494What in heck?
45494What in the name of cat- soup and fish is the matter with you?
45494What is it?
45494What you doing here?
45494What you fellows doing here?
45494What you got on your mind? 45494 What''s it all about?"
45494What''s left?
45494What''s the matter?
45494When do we eat?
45494Where have you been--"Are you hurt?
45494Where in the name of Mark Antony did he go?
45494Where is Professor Martin?
45494Where is it?
45494Where''s the rest of the stuff?
45494Why not wait until she is fixed up then come back in her?
45494Why remind us of that? 45494 Will you send to search for Mills?"
45494Wind, how do you make that out?
45494Would n''t you prefer to be flying?
45494Yeh, when we get out, then what?
45494Yes, his name is Mills and he''s gone crazy--"Crazy?
45494Yes?
45494You did n''t catch anything from Mills, did you?
45494You fellows want a bomb or two right in the middle of you?
45494You mean those with the professor?
45494You were beside your step- brother, would you please tell us this part of the story as you saw it?
45494All set, Old Man?"
45494Can you cover the machine up so if any one flies over she would n''t stick out like a sore thumb?"
45494Do you understand?"
45494GHOSTS"Hey, what are you waiting for?"
45494Going around by the woods?"
45494Got any more batteries?"
45494How do you feel since you had something to eat?"
45494How many women and children did they leave behind?"
45494I got you down without a smashup, did n''t I?
45494I was a baby and he and his wife have been most--""Why not skip that part?"
45494If the bugs forced you down, what you doing over here?
45494Is anyone in the house?"
45494It may be hours before we wake up and in the meantime there''s a white man back there--""A white man?"
45494Like to hop inside and freshen up a bit?"
45494Now, Doctor, how about that pilot-- should he be taken to a hospital?"
45494Now, where is that plane?
45494See that scaffolding way up high?"
45494See the other chap?"
45494Shall we leave it here, or one of us fly it?"
45494There is something about this Butterfly Flight; what is it Doc?"
45494Think we''d better stay here?"
45494We had a report tube we were taking home to Jim''s father, but you''re all wet-- too late--""What do you mean?"
45494Well, what do you reckon''s the matter with them rings?"
45494What''s the matter with the rings?"
45494When did he steal it?"
45494When do we eat?"
45494Where did you get those rings you are wearing?"
45494Where do you hail from?"
45494Where is that tube?"
45494Where''s Martin?"
45494Why in blazes did n''t you find out what was in it?"
41458And he heard the engine?
41458And leave it to be identified in a few hours''time by the engine marks?
41458And why do you want me?
41458Are you sure?
41458Better now?
41458But I wonder when and how it will be? 41458 But how did you know of him?"
41458But how have you managed that?
41458But how is it done?
41458But how on earth did he get there?
41458But how on earth did you learn I was in Fenways?
41458But how?
41458But what about Lympne?
41458But what could it have been?
41458But what kind of trap?
41458But what makes you so certain?
41458But, Professor,asked the Premier,"do you really mean that nothing whatever can be done to check or prevent this terrible malady?"
41458But, my dear Yvette,he stammered,"you do n''t mean to say you intend--?"
41458Can you come to Paris? 41458 Did n''t she tell you about it?"
41458Did you ever see a dog with hands, Dick?
41458Did you see?
41458Do you know a man named Lenart Gronvold?
41458Do you mean to say he is in it?
41458Do you mean to say that that is the room in the house on the opposite side of the road?
41458Do you mind telling me how you come to be in this?
41458Do you think Gronvold and the sailor have quarrelled?
41458Have you finished at Barcelona already?
41458Have you had him long?
41458Have you really?
41458He must have been running,said Renstoke,"and what kind of man could run over such a country as this?"
41458How did you know that I knew Barakoff?
41458How far away was Gaston when he saw it?
41458How long have we been flying?
41458How on earth did you learn this, Renstoke?
41458I hope you are satisfied, Lord Renstoke,said Erckmann at last,"that none of my pets is responsible for what has happened?"
41458I want to see Mr Erckmann; is he at home?
41458In which room do they meet?
41458Is it known at all?
41458Machinery,said Dick laconically,"but where?"
41458May we see it?
41458Mr Erckmann?
41458Now, Mr Manton,said the Count in fair English,"will you drive Miss Pasquet in my car to the Continental and register there?
41458On? 41458 That is Lockie?"
41458There?
41458To steal the jewels?
41458To what am I indebted for Monsieur''s very polite attentions?
41458Well, Fedor, what luck?
41458Well,said Regnier,"will you keep me posted?
41458What are you going to say at the inquest?
41458What are your intentions?
41458What can I do for you?
41458What do you know about it?
41458What do you make of that?
41458What else could have done it? 41458 What on earth brings you here?"
41458Whatever are you doing here, mademoiselle?
41458Whatever do you mean, Renstoke?
41458Whatever do you mean?
41458Where are we?
41458Who can go about all day and all night without being suspected? 41458 Who is behind this-- I mean who has made this discovery?
41458Whom will you get to help you? 41458 Why should it be published in the` Diario''?
41458Why, Manton, what brings you here?
41458Why-- who is he?
41458Will you take it in hand?
41458Would the messieurs require anything further?
41458Would you like to see what it can do?
41458You did n''t know I was an electrician, did you, Dick?
41458You mean,he said,"when the bank vaults were blown open with dynamite and half a million in gold stolen?"
41458And finally, who are the most secretive people in the world?
41458And, above all, why should such a message appear in an English code in an obscure paper published in Barcelona?
41458Are you good for something more exciting and decidedly more dangerous?
41458But he may have another ape which he has not shown us?"
41458But how about food?"
41458But how are we going to get it?"
41458But how long would he be and what might happen in the meantime?
41458But how was he to be captured?
41458But how was it to be done?
41458But surely you do n''t take me for a common thief?"
41458But what Bolshevik or Communist, others asked, would waste time and effort to inflict such absurd pinpricks on Society?
41458But what of the stranger?
41458But what was he to do?
41458But where could he be going?
41458But where was Barakoff?
41458But where was he hiding, and, above all, where was his machine?
41458But where was it?"
41458But which should they choose?
41458But who could it be, and what possible object could he have?
41458Can you tell me where any of the` Seven''are to- night?"
41458Could Jules and Yvette have been mistaken?
41458Could it possibly be hidden, Dick wondered, in the very heart of London?
41458Could they do it?
41458Could they get to Jules in time?
41458Could they induce radium to deliver in a few moments the power which, expending itself for centuries untold, never seemed to grow less?
41458Could they learn to accelerate the process?
41458Do n''t you really know Chalkley?"
41458Do you agree?"
41458Do you know Chalkley?"
41458Do you know where Barakoff is now?"
41458Do you remember the big bank robbery at Liverpool three years ago?"
41458Do you think I am likely to hesitate to rob a German thief when it means happiness for hundreds of French men and women and children?"
41458Had the men of the mystery craft a still greater secret up their sleeve?
41458How about trying a trap of some kind?"
41458How are we to hide it?
41458How did you get on?"
41458I suppose Simmons is on the look out for him?"
41458I''m sure of it?"
41458In any case, you will have Durham warned?"
41458Is the Mohawk ready?"
41458Myself?
41458None the less the problem remained-- where were the men?
41458Now, Dick, I want those jewels, and I am going to have them?"
41458Now, shall we go to- night?
41458Of course you will come, Yvette?"
41458Or,"she added mischievously,"is Norfolk and the motor business exciting and dangerous enough for you?"
41458Suppose Demidoff learned that his papers had fallen into Raoul Gregoire''s hands-- eh?"
41458There was, as he could see, a small electric motor fitted to it, but where could the necessary power come from?
41458Was the Mohawk fast enough to beat the pirate?
41458Were they high enough?
41458What better device could be employed than a fast aeroplane which could get to Durham and away before anyone could hope to stop it?
41458What could have become of Yvette and the manager?
41458What could it mean?
41458What was the object of the work?
41458When do we start?"
41458Where was Chalkley?
41458Who am I hurting?
41458Who can go into dens where your men hardly dare to venture?
41458Who know all the hidden haunts of which your men are utterly ignorant?
41458Who were Mataza, Wilson, and Greening?
41458Whom am I benefiting?
41458Why should n''t we try to fly her over tonight?
41458Will you come?"
41458Wo n''t you do it again?
41458Would any Frenchman or Frenchwoman hesitate a moment?
41458Would his own, he wondered, pass muster?
41458Would she be followed, and if so, could she win clear?
41458You know the story, of course?"
41458You must come with me-- or shall I call the police?"
41458You understand?"
41458You''ve heard something then?"
54973Afire?
54973Ah,exclaimed Jack,"prepared for action, eh?
54973And what are those crooks answering?
54973And who are they?
54973Are they prepared for such a trip-- for such an important mission, now?
54973Are you ready?
54973As simple as I- D- I- O- T. Where on the Atlantic? 54973 Believe you''ve got some papers on you we''d like to borrow for a little time?"
54973Better get rid of it if you have, do n''t you think?
54973But where would we get the snowshoes?
54973But who are they? 54973 By plane?"
54973Ca n''t we wash up a bit first?
54973Cigarette?
54973Do you know what that is?
54973Do you think he''s sleep- walking again?
54973Do you think we ought to wireless back that we were damaged and delayed by the storm?
54973Eh?
54973Euchre, what''s euchre?
54973Ever been a sailor?
54973For what?
54973Fred, let me have the glasses, will you?
54973Getting something?
54973Going any place in particular?
54973Got a pump and hose?
54973Got anybody?
54973Got what?
54973Halifax? 54973 Have you got them?"
54973Hear anything?
54973How are you going to load it?
54973How do we stand?
54973How long would it take that crew to come from Halifax to Washington?
54973How?
54973How?
54973Howdy?
54973I guess all this is sad news to the Huns, eh?
54973I suppose you do n''t know anything about that little job, eh?
54973In what?
54973Jack,he said, addressing himself to that rather worried individual,"I was n''t such a bad guesser this morning, after all, was I?
54973Meaning what?
54973Meaning?
54973No, who?
54973Now then,he exclaimed,"are you going to come across peacefully?"
54973Now, you pup, what were you doing here?
54973Oh, what''s the use of growling? 54973 Papers?"
54973Picked this up and relayed it,he radiographed,"but where''s it come from, and who are you?"
54973Ready?
54973Remember?
54973Same to you; what d''you want?
54973See anything further?
54973See thet old stump of a tree stickin''up out thar?
54973Smoke?
54973Snowstorm?
54973Sort of proud, eh?
54973Suppose we changed our course?
54973The juice?
54973Then you do expect something more to happen?
54973Transatlantic contest?
54973Trial on a day like this?
54973Want me to go for you?
54973Well, admitting all that, what are you going to do about it?
54973Well, what did he say?
54973Well, what do you think of that?
54973Well, what in the deuce are you going to do?
54973Well, where''s this here struggle to take place?
54973Well, why tell us about it now?
54973Well,Andy continued,"why, for instance, the machine gun?
54973Were you down to the freight station?
54973What about it, Don?
54973What are you using?
54973What do you mean?
54973What does this mean, anyway?
54973What for?
54973What happened at that time?
54973What happened?
54973What in Heck ye laffin''at, anyway?
54973What is it?
54973What is it?
54973What is the news? 54973 What is?"
54973What now?
54973What now?
54973What the deuce do you suppose it means, anyway?
54973What was it you were looking for?
54973What was that?
54973What''d I get?
54973What''d you get?
54973What''s T- K- R?
54973What''s that?
54973What''s that?
54973What''s the altimeter show?
54973What''s up now?
54973What?
54973Who are you?
54973Who discovered I was gone?
54973Who signed it?
54973Who signs it?
54973Whose is it?
54973Why not do it on snowshoes?
54973Why not here?
54973Why the reception committee and this rather unusual welcome?
54973Why the tail- dip?
54973Willing to put down a little money to make this flight interesting?
54973Wire here for me?
54973Yeh, wanted to loosen it up a little, so that the first wind would cause the whole plane to collapse, eh?
54973You have the documents?
54973You probably will instruct them to land on the field over near Fort Meyer?
54973You the mail crew?
54973You understand thoroughly the importance of these papers?
54973''Leggo''what?
54973Allerson ai n''t a whale of a sleuth, eh?"
54973And who do you want killed?"
54973Any accidents?"
54973Are you ready, Don?"
54973But after all, what was there to be said?
54973But the thought came to each, What would they have done had they not had pontoons for landing on the surface of the ocean?
54973CHAPTER XX KIDNAPED"What''s that?"
54973Can you spare any?"
54973Could he supply such men?
54973Did you get any?
54973Did you tell her we''re in an aeroplane?"
54973Do I make that clear?"
54973Do you know who that fellow was that I thought I recognized in that plane?"
54973Halifax?"
54973Have n''t sighted any of the others, have you?"
54973Here, then, was the message complete:"R- S-7: Give location-- situation critical-- when will you arrive?"
54973His spirits awakened, did we say?
54973How about the wireless, Fred?"
54973How do we stand with regard to the regular steamer route?"
54973It turned out later that that was not at all the case, but who could discern the real motives behind the demands of that critical time?
54973Men who could be trusted not only to get to Europe, but to get there with the documents?
54973Shall I answer?"
54973Such an aero crew?
54973That would be nice, would n''t it?"
54973Wanted to know what I meant by making a josh out of the S O S.""When ought we to come across them?"
54973Where are they?"
54973Whom could he recommend?
54973Why had not the pursuing plane been stopped?
54973Why not?
54973Will you do it?"
54973Would he?
54973murmured Don, skimming through the pages,"Where the deuce is my hat?
33976All ready?
33976All right, Jane?
33976And the girls?
33976And you turned that down?
33976And you turned that down?
33976Are you all right?
33976Are you both interested in going to Chicago and personally applying for positions with the Federated system?
33976Are you from Chicago?
33976Are you going to come out and see every ship off?
33976Are you hurt, Jane?
33976But did they invite me to see the pictures?
33976But do n''t you think it''s rather dangerous? 33976 But is n''t it dangerous for girls like you to be flying in those airplanes?"
33976But is n''t it true that Miss Cameron is one of your favorites?
33976But what will I tell them?
33976But what would Mrs. Van Verity Vanness and company officials say?
33976But what''s it all about?
33976But why was it following us? 33976 Ca n''t you see I''m all tired out?"
33976Can you take us aboard? 33976 Did anyone else touch the food?"
33976Did n''t they tell you?
33976Did you get a message out that we were crashing?
33976Did you prepare the food which was placed aboard the plane that day?
33976Did you really do that?
33976Do you know anyone who would do it as a grudge against you?
33976Do you know very much about the plans for using stewardesses?
33976Do you mean Gary Macklin is going to have the leading role in the picture here?
33976Do you mean to stand there and tell me that Roscoe James and the Mammoth Film Company are going to make a motion picture here at the Cheyenne field?
33976Do you really think you''d like flying?
33976Do you think his condition is serious?
33976Do you think the water''s deep?
33976Do you think we ought to have accepted the invitation?
33976Does anyone know what the story is about?
33976Does that mean we''ll have to try for a landing?
33976Either one of you girls decided what you''ll do when you leave tomorrow?
33976Everything all right?
33976Everything all right?
33976Feel the urge of a chocolate soda?
33976Going to write home?
33976Guess who I saw leaving the field?
33976Have any girls been hired?
33976Have n''t they been captured?
33976Have you been flying long?
33976How about it?
33976How about meals?
33976How about you, Miss Cameron?
33976How about$ 50?
33976How did you ever have the nerve to jump?
33976How do you know?
33976How do you know?
33976How far above ground are we?
33976How had Mrs. Van Verity Vanness acted when the bandit plane swooped down on them? 33976 How long have you known we were in danger?"
33976How much is the rent?
33976How''s Slim Bollei?
33976How''s he getting along?
33976How''s our famous passenger?
33976How''s the pilot and co- pilot?
33976How''s the weather?
33976I wonder how it happened?
33976I wonder if the folks will object?
33976I wonder who he was? 33976 I wonder who is going to get your place on the_ Coast to Coast?_"mused Sue.
33976I''d like that if I could keep on flying,said Jane,"but why do you think I have a chance?"
33976Is he nice?
33976Is she ill now?
33976It''s nice,admitted Sue,"but what on earth will you do with it?
33976Know what day this is?
33976Ransom?
33976Scared?
33976Then I''ll get my license?
33976Then you mean we''ve passed all right?
33976Think I''d forgotten all about you?
33976Think of the ransom they could demand if they captured your passenger?
33976Tuck me in for the night?
33976Was anyone badly injured?
33976Was anyone else in the commissary while you were working?
33976Well, what do you think of that?
33976Well, what do you think of that?
33976What about yourself?
33976What are we going to do now?
33976What are you going to do?
33976What assignment do we get?
33976What can I do for you?
33976What do you have to do?
33976What do you know about this, Miss Comstock?
33976What do you know about this?
33976What do you suppose Miss Hardy wants?
33976What do you think of Mattie''s attitude?
33976What do you think of it?
33976What do you think of the uniforms?
33976What does it mean?
33976What is your Chicago address?
33976What time do I start west?
33976What were the names of those men?
33976What''s going on out there?
33976What''s the matter?
33976What''s this I hear about you piloting one of the planes for the movie people?
33976When do you think we''ll go in?
33976When will you be back?
33976Where are we?
33976Where are you going right away?
33976Where''s Jane Cameron?
33976Which means what?
33976Who do you suppose came in with me?
33976Why did n''t you say so?
33976Why not let me fly one of the ships?
33976Will you bring us back if we go to the field?
33976Wonder if I''ll ever have this framed?
33976Would n''t you like to join me, traveling as my nurse and companion?
33976Would you mind pinching me to see if I am awake?
33976You going along?
33976You know what caused the illness aboard the plane?
33976You mean we''re getting$ 10,000 for this trip across the country?
33976You mean we''ve really got the jobs?
33976You would n''t have had any reason to place anything in the food, would you?
33976You''ve heard the service is to be enlarged?
33976You''ve what?
33976Ca n''t we do something?"
33976Can you get ready by that time?"
33976Chapter Twenty- two Promotion for Jane"What''s this I hear about your turning down an offer to go to Hollywood?"
33976Did the pilot know where he was?
33976Did you get a message through?"
33976Do you have a letter from your supervisor?"
33976Do you suppose I took well?"
33976Does that sound attractive?"
33976Had Miss Comstock only been talking bravely, attempting to reassure the girls?
33976Had Mrs. Van Verity Vanness commented on the financial situation?"
33976Have either of you flown much before?"
33976How about baggage?"
33976How about trading schedules?"
33976How about you?"
33976How about your story?
33976How do you like the uniforms?"
33976How had Jane felt?
33976How long before we''ll be in Chicago?"
33976Is there anything I can do?"
33976Is there anything I can do?"
33976Smell it?
33976Sold it to anyone yet?"
33976Then, aiming his question at Jane, he asked,"How would you like to come to Hollywood?
33976Think how much has happened?"
33976Think you understand everything?"
33976What do you think about it, Jane?"
33976What do you think about it?"
33976What had she served her passenger at mealtime?
33976What more is needed?"
33976What''s up?"
33976Why could n''t they land and wait for the bad weather to clear?
33976Why were n''t they out of the fog?
33976Why?"
33976Will you want a blanket so you can sleep?"
33976Wo n''t this be front page news?"
10584And desert my chum when he''s in trouble? 10584 And how about the plane business?"
10584And now, Tom, had n''t we better turn toward the shore?
10584Anything gone wrong with the motors, Tom?
10584Are you sure cabling would do no good, if we could manage to send an urgent message?
10584Are you worrying about your cousin?
10584Back home, Tom?
10584Berlin or bust?
10584Better separate, and attack''em from two different angles, had n''t we, Tom?
10584But ca n''t something be done, boys? 10584 But if it does n''t, what then?"
10584But not impossible?
10584But then what''s the use of sticking it out? 10584 But what about Bertrand Hale, Nellie?
10584But why could n''t you take the spin in his company, Tom? 10584 But why should it?
10584But, surely, you would n''t dare hint anything about the big trip we want to take, Tom?
10584But-- how could you have reached here so far ahead of me?
10584Can you make it perfectly safe again before half an hour passes?
10584Could n''t be bettered much, could it, Tom?
10584Could you feel any motion when you stood on that lower shelf of the berg?
10584Did n''t I know you could do it, Tom?
10584Did they get any of our crowd?
10584Did those shots seem to be over yonder to the right?
10584Did you learn anything about the job we''ve got on hand, Tom?
10584Did-- er, Bessie ask you to look me up?
10584Do you really mean that Bessie and Mrs. Gleason are so close as all that?
10584Do you suppose your cousin knows anything about this new development?
10584Do you think he suspected anything?
10584Does the hangar lie in that quarter, sir?
10584For a change of subject,Tom observed,"shall we tell Lieutenant Beverly about your troubles?
10584Glad to hear you say that, Jack, because I''m feeling particularly keen myself to be one of that bunch to- night"When do we start?
10584Have they tried to injure your plane, Colin?
10584Have you had bad news from home?
10584How about it if we should sight a steamer?
10584How can such wickedness exist when war had made so many heroes among our boys?
10584How do we know what the good fairy may do for you, so as to outwit the villain of the piece?
10584How far are we from land, Tom, would you say?
10584How long have we been here?
10584How would an iceberg fill the bill, Colin?
10584I suppose you''re counting now on getting that long flight off your mind? 10584 I wonder if that can be Virginia I see?"
10584I''d like to know how you make that out?
10584Is there anything else to confer about?
10584Is there anything else we can do for you, Lieutenant?
10584Is there anything to delay us further?
10584It is n''t about Bessie, I hope?
10584It was the_ Titanic_, was n''t it, that bumped into an iceberg, and went down with such a frightful loss of life?
10584It''s all right then, I take it, Tom?
10584It''s hinted that we are aiming at Berlin, do n''t you know?
10584It''s the supply pipe clogging then?
10584Jack, what''s wrong with you?
10584Just the thing, I''d say,the lieutenant answered,"only who ever heard of an iceberg floating down in mid- Atlantic at this season of the year?
10584No chance of our getting at it while afloat, is there?
10584No one dead, or sick, I hope, Jack?
10584Notice that road looking as if it might be pitted with shell- holes? 10584 Please explain what you mean by that?"
10584Pretty nearly through, Tom?
10584Running more into the south- southwest, you mean, I suppose, Tom?
10584Say, is it going to be anything serious, fellows? 10584 See here, is it anything connected with that Burson property-- has that matter come to a head at last?"
10584See how the old luck keeps hanging over us, will you? 10584 See who''s coming, will you?"
10584Spies hanging around, probably?
10584Tell me, is that the anchored light- ship''s siren, Tom, do you think?
10584That one spanning the river about twenty miles back of the German lines, do you mean?
10584That you, Tom, Jack?
10584Then the machine is still ready for business, is it?
10584Then you suspect he may already be on his way across, and will arrive before you can get there to put in your claim?
10584There, is n''t that a regular beauty to show?
10584This is Mrs. Parmly, I believe?
10584Tom, do you think the general would permit us to take our machine, and fly to Dunkirk?
10584Tom, would it be madness, do you think?
10584We veer to the left here, and pass out to sea over Queenstown, do n''t we, Colin?
10584We want to see Major Denning; can anybody direct us to him?
10584Well, is there any objection to breaking our fast again?
10584What about the plane, Colin?
10584What are you thinking about, Tom, for I can see a look in your face that we ought to know? 10584 What can I be doing in the meanwhile?"
10584What can I do for you?
10584What could stop him, since I''m utterly powerless to do anything?
10584What do you make of this thing, Tom?
10584What do you think of it, boys?
10584What do you think you see?
10584What does this mystery mean?
10584What have you found now?
10584What is that?
10584What makes it feel so queer at times?
10584What ought we do, Tom?
10584What''s happened to you?
10584What''s that?
10584What''s the idea of keeping so high, Lieutenant?
10584What''s the matter now, Tom?
10584What''s the verdict?
10584What''s wrong here?
10584When you have n''t the slightest thing to guide you, stars, sun, or earth, how can you tell which is up or which is down? 10584 Where is the big Martin bomber now, did you say?"
10584Why so, Major?
10584Why, what is the matter with you?
10584Wonder if the old chap has got a mate around?
10584You do n''t blame Jack, do you?
10584You do n''t glimpse any other chance further on, do you, Jack?
10584You doubtless know that I''ve got more money than is good for any single man to handle? 10584 You mean calculated to make every one feel timid about taking any extraordinary risk-- is that it?"
10584You mean the notifications might arrive while we were gone?
10584And just to think of the queer conditions of this hunt, too, will you?
10584And who would not have been under similar conditions?
10584Anything like a written message you would like to leave behind, to be sent in case we are never heard from again, boys?
10584Are you planning a trip to the moon, after Jules Verne''s yarn?"
10584Are you sure you''ve got the directions how to get to Dunkirk, and then how to find my secret hangar on the coast beyond the town, Tom?"
10584Besides, what do ten or twenty minutes amount to?"
10584Both of you will be free, do n''t you understand?
10584But Jack,--""Yes, Tom?"
10584But are the lands worth as much as it was believed, Jack?"
10584But had n''t we better be thinking of getting out of this soft marshy tract?"
10584But what ails you, Tom?
10584But why do you ask that?
10584CHAPTER IX CONVINCING PROOF"Are you sure about that?"
10584CHAPTER XI THE AMAZING PLAN"Tell us what you mean, please?"
10584CHAPTER XIII OFF FOR THE CHANNEL"Tom, do you think that spy left behind by my cousin could have learned in any way about our plan?"
10584Can it be they''re being attacked by a Hun undersea boat, do you think, boys?"
10584Can we do anything further for you right now, Lieutenant?"
10584Can you guess why any one should wish to do either of you such a wrong as that?"
10584Did he tell you anything that would be of interest to us?"
10584Do n''t you see how it acts, Tom?"
10584Do you think we''ve crossed the Channel, Lieutenant?"
10584Does n''t she look rather serious, Tom?"
10584Faster now grew their progress, but would the stretch of ice prove a long enough area to give them the necessary momentum?
10584Get that, do you, Jack?"
10584Has n''t anything been done to learn the truth, sir?"
10584Have n''t I known you to come to the front many times when things looked very black for us?"
10584Have you an idea-- is there yet a hope that we can get a grip on this danger, and choke it?"
10584How am I going to beat Randolph across the Atlantic?
10584How are you fixed, Jack?"
10584I suppose you know they''ve got a sort of''Y''hut running back here a bit?"
10584If you''ve a sharp knife what''s to hinder you from taking one of his claws for a trophy?"
10584Is everything going well, Colin?"
10584Is n''t that true?"
10584Let''s see-- two o''clock you said, did n''t you?
10584Must we just fold our hands, and meet our fate?"
10584Parmly?"
10584Ready, back there?
10584See here, what''s this mean?
10584So the boys picked you up, did they?
10584Sure you examined the ground ahead, and saw to it we''d hit no bumps that might give us trouble?"
10584Tell me, can you guess why this unknown person should want to injure you?"
10584Then it''s our only chance; if we miss this what else could we do?"
10584Tom, what do you say about it?"
10584Try to guess what would happen to that monster berg if we hit head on?"
10584Was Tom ever going to elevate the plane and attempt the rise from the flat surface of the ice?
10584Was not the miracle- worker of a monster plane doing remarkably fine work, and should they not continue to believe the end justified the means?
10584Was the ice floe about to break up?
10584Well, what does it matter?"
10584What can that mean?"
10584What do you say, Jack?"
10584What do you think about it, Tom?"
10584What do you think of the plane, Tom?"
10584What does that mean, Tom?"
10584What had we better do?"
10584What if it was ten minutes late?
10584What if something happens to hold up those notices until it''s too late for even Colin''s big bomber to catch up with the steamer?"
10584What if two thousand miles still lay between them and the goal of their hopes?
10584What under the sun can it be?"
10584What''s going on around here; nothing serious happened, I hope?"
10584What''s the matter with this fine big gap?"
10584What''s the use?
10584What''s your big scheme, Lieutenant?"
10584Worse than we at first thought?"
10584You do n''t think it''s possible that could be the_ La Bretagne_, Tom?"
10584You have n''t flunked, Tom?
10584You''ll agree to that, wo n''t you, Jack?"
10584but is n''t he a buster though?
10584did you?"
10584what''s that mean?"
10584who''s this but my English cousin, Major Denning?"
51127Ai n''t I tellin''ye?
51127An''grass am good an''long right up to de back ob de garden?
51127And do you mean to say, Matt, that those two pieces of cloth have guessed the riddle?
51127And what did Deacon do?
51127And what''s to become of me in the meantime?
51127And you know of two trustworthy men you can get to go with you?
51127Are ye goin''?
51127Are you the man who put that''ad''in the paper?
51127Begorry, what was thot?
51127Belong to what, Prebbles?
51127But what am I to do?
51127But wo n''t he suspect anything?
51127Ca n''t we go higher, Matt?
51127Did Traquair ever do much flying?
51127Did he? 51127 Did some men come here in an automobile, a little while ago, and take it away?"
51127Did the Chink throw the firecracker in the first place?
51127Did they?
51127Did you go, Rufe?
51127Do you know Benner, the post trader?
51127Do you know that the man who invented the aëroplane fell with one of the machines and was killed?
51127Do you know where Mr. Traquair lost his life in that flying machine?
51127Do you live there?
51127Do you mean to say,cried Matt, standing up in the car,"that you were going to wreck the aëroplane?"
51127Do you remember a young fellow called Ensign Glennie?
51127Do you think I do n''t know what you are trying to do for Mrs. Traquair? 51127 Do you want him to kill the Chinaman?"
51127Does Siwash Charley know Murgatroyd?
51127Fifteen per cent? 51127 Got er axe ter grind, hey?"
51127Had any experience with aëroplanes?
51127Has n''t got Dandy, I hope?
51127Have n''t got it?
51127Have you gone clean crazy?
51127Have you hired out to that Murgatroyd person as the human sky- rocket?
51127He asked for me, I suppose?
51127How did that happen?
51127How did the accident happen?
51127How did you know where we were coming?
51127How do you know that I was referring to you?
51127How do you reckon he found that out?
51127How high do you think we are now, Cameron?
51127How is he going to fight us, Prebbles?
51127How kin I tell whether I want it or not till ye explain what the work is?
51127How much do I owe you for drawing up these papers?
51127How much do you owe him?
51127How was I ter know that?
51127How''s that?
51127How?
51127I guess yuh do n''t live in Jimtown, do yuh?
51127I wonder what''s become of Ping?
51127If he gets his interest, he ca n''t make her any trouble, can he?
51127Is he the one that hit Siwash Charley with the stone?
51127Is thar any money in it, Murg?
51127Is that your bear?
51127Is the machine you have the one that killed Traquair?
51127It''s got to have a running start, eh?
51127Listen to this once,said he, and read aloud:"''How can a poor woman thank you for what you have done?
51127May I take the model?
51127Mr. Amos Murgatroyd?
51127Murgatroyd? 51127 My workee for you some mo''?"
51127Nervous, Matt?
51127Not Motor Matt?
51127Oh, y''are, eh? 51127 Oh, you know a heap about business, you do, do n''t you?"
51127Prebbles,said Matt,"do you know of any one, here in town, who has a good automobile we could hire?"
51127Quite sure?
51127Reckoned I could fix it for you, eh?
51127Remember Glennie?
51127Representing the government, was n''t he?
51127Shall we go on?
51127Shiwas Charley no killee Motol Matt? 51127 Sloughs?"
51127Slow up a little with that chug cart o''yourn, will ye? 51127 So they gave it accidental death?"
51127Sufferin''cats,cried McGlory, starting for one of the windows,"I wonder if that''s a fire?
51127That your picture?
51127That''s his name, hey? 51127 That''s right; but how did you know the vent was plugged?"
51127The point is, do you want to follow out my plans, and make the money I''m offering you?
51127Then I kin lay fer him around Totten, hey?
51127Then you got here on the same train we did?
51127Think I kain''t handle that outfit alone, Murg? 51127 Well?"
51127What are Siwash and his friends going to do at Totten?
51127What are you trying to do, Siwash Charley?
51127What are you willing to pay for the work you want done?
51127What d''ye want?
51127What did you say, Rufe?
51127What difference does that make, so long as I can do the work?
51127What do you think?
51127What do you work for the old skinflint for, if you want to do right?
51127What does this mean, Rufe?
51127What for should I git from my boss''land?
51127What good''s the flying machine, anyway? 51127 What happened then?"
51127What has he stopped for?
51127What have you got there?
51127What hotel yuh stoppin''to, mister?
51127What is it, Murg?
51127What kind of a machine did he have?
51127What murderous scoundrel could have done it?
51127What the dickens did you do?
51127What town''s that?
51127What were the bicycle wheels for?
51127What''s happened?
51127What''s the good, hey?
51127What''s the matter now?
51127What''s the matter with you, sarg?
51127What''s the matter with you?
51127What''s the matter, Prebbles?
51127What''s the matter?
51127What''s the ruction here?
51127What''s the trouble here?
51127What''s the use of getting mad at you, Ping?
51127What''s to pay?
51127When do you go North?
51127Where did you come from, Ping?
51127Where does Mrs. Traquair live?
51127Where does he live?
51127Where does the coincidence come in, lieutenant?
51127Where have you been keeping yourself?
51127Where have you been, Ping?
51127Where''s Ping?
51127Who are you?
51127Who is it?
51127Who''ll I ask for when I come to the hotel?
51127Who''ll pay''em?
51127Who''s a robber?
51127Who''s been tramping on you?
51127Who''s talking with your mother, Ted?
51127Who''s that with you?
51127Who''s that?
51127Why did n''t you tell me you were not going to stay there?
51127Why do n''t you chase him away, then?
51127Why has n''t Rufe written?
51127Will you help me?
51127Would n''t that knock you slabsided?
51127You Rufe?
51127You are positive Siwash Charley was one of the men who knocked you down, here at the camp, and carried you into the woods?
51127You did n''t intend to stay in Madison any of the time, did you?
51127You got money, ai n''t you?
51127You had a flying machine called the_ Hawk_, quite a while ago, did n''t you?
51127You remember that wagon we passed?
51127You want to pass that car, then,said he,"and you want to dodge trouble?"
51127You''re banking on that?
51127You''re pretty well acquainted up around Devil''s Lake, are n''t you?
51127You? 51127 You?"
51127*****"Any letter for George Hatfield?"
51127All ready?"
51127And do you think I wo n''t do as much as I can to help her?
51127And how can you guide the blooming thing skyward, or on a level, or come down?"
51127And how in Sam Hill did that bear pick up his trail?"
51127Are you one of the lot that chased up Jake?"
51127At this rate, how long''ll that stake last that you picked up in Madison?"
51127Benner?"
51127Black?"
51127Black?"
51127But-- but the very machine that was to make our fortune has taken his life, and-- and what am I to do?"
51127By the way, young man, what''s your name?"
51127Can I take that model with me to the hotel?
51127Did he come over yesterday morning?"
51127Dis am de time for burning de woods, ai n''t it?"
51127Do n''t you notice how much smoother we''re gliding?"
51127Do yez want thim insoide?"
51127Do you know whether Mr. Traquair protected the ideas with patents?"
51127Five years''penitentiary, is n''t it?
51127Have you any drawings, or papers from the patent office, that I can look at to get an idea of what the aëroplane is like?"
51127How did he get here?
51127How had he come there?
51127How long do you think my loan business would last if I was found out in a job like this?
51127I think Glennie wrote me you had had some experience with a dirigible balloon?"
51127If that do n''t work, I''ll go under the car and take off the fuel pipe, and----""It''s a gravity feed, is n''t it?"
51127Know anything about the Traquair aëroplane?"
51127Looks like fate had something to do with this, eh?"
51127May I read this?"
51127Murgatroyd?"
51127Page 19, changed single to double quote after"destroy that aëroplane?"
51127Savvy fly?
51127Siwash and Murgatroyd talked about me?"
51127Suppose you let me look at the goods?"
51127Tell me, is Deacon in possession?"
51127That ought to be enough, had n''t it?"
51127That''s what I''m along for, savvy?"
51127The government, I presume,"he added,"merely buys the aëroplane?
51127Then he said very quietly:"Oliver, what''s the punishment for horse stealing?
51127Then, again, if we go up will we stay up?
51127There''s no doubt about the sale to the government?"
51127This is the only way I can get back the loan, you see?"
51127Traquair?"
51127Traquair?"
51127Traquair?"
51127What could I do agin''the lot of''em, and armed like they was?
51127What could I do?"
51127What d''ye reckon we''re going to do about that?"
51127What did you set off that cannon cracker under the bear for?"
51127What good were choice prayers, painted on rice paper, and burned to the heathen deities?
51127What it pays for the machine is n''t a purchase of Traquair''s patents?"
51127What made the fellow such an enemy of yours, Matt?"
51127What more do you expect?"
51127What of it?"
51127What was the matter?
51127What you do now, huh?"
51127When are you going to put the aëroplane together?"
51127Who are you?"
51127Why do n''t you go around this place with a duster, once in a while?
51127Why was he bound, and why was the cloth tied between his jaws?
51127Why you no callee him_ Fan Tan_, huh?"
51127Will you take hold of this aëroplane matter, learn how to run the Traquair invention, and then test it out at Fort Totten, two weeks from to- day?"
51127Will you?"
51127You boys belong?"
51127You can do that, ca n''t you?"
51127You going to build a new house soon, ai n''t you?"
51127You heap mad with Ping?"
51127You will not sign it, of course?"
51127You wo n''t tell anybody about me giving Murg away to you?
51127You''re watching the time?"
6459A divining rod?
6459A halo? 6459 A medical interest, I suppose?"
6459Ai n''t gittin''on yer nerves, be I?
6459Almost human sometimes, eh?
6459And his name was?
6459And if not?
6459Anything else to be done, miss?
6459Anything happened?
6459Are there wild horses hereabouts then?
6459Are we going to have a storm?
6459As Peggy says, if anything went wrong what could you do alone?
6459Bad-- is it?''
6459But Senor Bell and the senoritas?
6459But about that other man,said Roy, returning to the charge when he had finished his narrative,"did n''t you see him?"
6459But how are you going to get water in this desert?
6459But how will you explain it? 6459 But the coyotes?"
6459But the stock and Alverado?
6459But where?
6459But wo n''t the poor man become lost or starve?
6459Can you see anything of the town yet?
6459Come in handy sometimes, do n''t it?
6459Dancing poison?
6459Did-- did the man with the red auto catch it?
6459Do n''t eh?
6459Do n''t they take any servants or help?
6459Do you know the name of the men who attacked you and treated you so cruelly?
6459Do you reckon it was gold?
6459Do you think I did right in coming?
6459Do you think that they are-- that they are Red Bill''s men?
6459Do you think that we are in serious danger?
6459Does it portend anything?
6459Forgot I used to be ventriloquist with a medicine show, eh?
6459Frightened, girlie? 6459 Frightened?
6459Get the radiator fixed yet?
6459Get you, Bill?
6459Good thing for them, eh?
6459Got a pencil and a bit of paper, Buck?
6459Got any of that thar gum you''s always achewin''so as ter be agreeable to ther ladies?
6459Got that, did you?
6459Grub all right?
6459Here, here, what''s all this?
6459How about airships?
6459How did you find it?
6459How is that?
6459How''s that?
6459How? 6459 Hullo, kid; what''s biting you?"
6459Hurt?
6459Hurt?
6459I wonder if he''s acting a part?
6459I wonder if they got through?
6459I''d like to accept,said Roy, with vast cunning as he thought,"but what would your partner say?"
6459If they are?
6459Is he trying to kill us?
6459Is it poisonous?
6459Is this the end?
6459Is-- is it all over, Roy?
6459Look here, Mr. Bell,he exclaimed, pointing downward,"what do you make of that?"
6459Make a good signal, would n''t it?
6459My dear child, what is it?
6459My partner?
6459No such thing,said Peggy in her briskest tones;"what if anything happened to you?
6459No, not exactly-- but-- oh, Roy,even plucky Peggy''s voice broke and quavered,"it''s so lonely, and whatever are we to do?"
6459Not even at the cost of your own life?
6459Not fer me, thanks,was the easy response,"ef you want to hunt spooks--""Who said it wuz a spook or any such pack uv nonsense?"
6459Now then, my dear,he said,"what is it?"
6459Now will you do as I say?
6459Of what?
6459Oh, Peggy, is it perfectly safe?
6459Oh, Peggy, you darling, is it really you?
6459Oh, Roy, you''re not going alone?
6459Oh, indeed,sniffed the embattled Peggy scornfully;"I suppose you think I ca n''t handle a man''s size gun?"
6459Oh, is it you, Peggy? 6459 Ortermobiles?"
6459Roy, do you know where you are going?
6459Say, look at that Chinaman eyeing us,broke off Roy suddenly;"wonder what''s the matter with him?"
6459Say, what''s ther matter with you, Buck?
6459Selling something?
6459Should n''t everybody have an opportunity to develop natural resources?
6459Sis, do you mean you are going to try it?
6459So Jess was right after all,breathed Peggy softly;"but who could have done such a thing?
6459So you were in Blue Creek recently, eh?
6459So you''re after that ornery varmint, Red Bill, are yer?
6459Something else missing?
6459That''s quite true, Roy,struck in Jess,"and besides if-- if anything has gone wrong with Jimsy who has a better right to be near him than I?"
6459The gal, too?
6459The water is almost all gone?
6459Then you really think, sir, that somebody may have wind of the object of our journey and molest us?
6459This is it,nodded her brother Roy;"what do you think of it, sis?"
6459Tramp over those old hills that look as baked as a loaf of overdone bread?
6459True, my brave girl,rejoined Mr. Bell,"but of what use would that be?
6459W- w- w- what speed are we making?
6459Wa- al, Jim Bell,he demanded,"for the third an''last time, air you goin''ter give in peaceable?
6459Wa- al, what''s all ther trouble hyar?
6459Wa- al, what''s up?
6459Waal, ef you know so much, let''s hear it?
6459Want to come, Jimsy?
6459Was n''t that a shout? 6459 Was that one of Red Bill''s men?"
6459We do n''t know yet, Roy dear,Peggy found time to whisper, and then:"Who else was looking for the assayer?"
6459We must be close to the place now,she said;"it''s somewhere off there, is n''t it?"
6459Well I am, ai n''t I?
6459Well, sis, what about it?
6459Well, what are we going to do about it?
6459Well, what do you make of that?
6459Well?
6459Were there any tracks?
6459Whar wa''ar you all ther forenoon?
6459Whar''s Buck Bellew?
6459Whar''s the United States Assayer''s office?
6459What am I to do, Aunt Sally?
6459What beats me is, if those are Red Bill''s men what are they doing in this direction?
6459What can a girl do?
6459What can be happening?
6459What did he run like that for?
6459What do you mean, my dear?
6459What do you wish with me, senor?
6459What does this mean?
6459What in the name of Kit Carson wuz that?
6459What is it, Alverado?
6459What is it, Roy?
6459What is it? 6459 What papers?"
6459What would cowboys be doing away out here where there is n''t a cow or a calf or even an old mule in sight?
6459What''s that you''re saying, boy,he exclaimed;"what do you know about Red Bill Summers?"
6459What''s that?
6459What''s the hurry?
6459What''s the matter with you two, you mean? 6459 What''s the trouble, sis; bad news?"
6459Whatever will Aunt Sally and the rest be thinking?
6459Where are the twin fairies of light that used to dance in your eyes?
6459Where can we be going?
6459Where''s the corral?
6459Who is he?
6459Why hal- lo, stranger,he said,"whar you bin hidin''all these moons?
6459Why that''s so, is n''t it?
6459Why, when he spoke about that Red Billy whatever his name was, did you see how different he looked? 6459 Wish what, Peggy dear?"
6459Wo n''t you please stand aside?
6459Wonder what kind of weather the ponies are making of it?
6459Yes-- yes, what is it?
6459You are to escort a party of gringos headed by a Senor Bell as far as Steer Wells, are you not?
6459You can make him obey you then?
6459You give me lilly joss now, missee?
6459You know him?
6459You mean if we can file those papers first they stand good in law?
6459You mean you could n''t hear any sound of the ponies''hoofs?
6459You say that Bell and his outfit start to- morrow?
6459You say that the tall chap yonder is Jim, Bell?
6459You say the vehicle is n''t invented that will cross that stretch of alkali?
6459You''ll help us escape?
6459You''re a girl of real grit,he said,"but the others?"
6459You''re certain?
6459And why?"
6459Any of you heard what Jim Bell''s doing in Blue Creek?"
6459Bell?"
6459Bell?"
6459But how far ahead?
6459But what could have become of them?
6459But who can it be?"
6459By the way, reckon you could imitate a coyote, Buck?"
6459CHAPTER IX AGAINST HEAVY ODDS"Any sign of them yet, Roy?"
6459CHAPTER X RESCUED BY AEROPLANE"What''s that down there?"
6459CHAPTER XXIV WHAT CHEWING GUM DID"But, Bud, how?"
6459Could she be losing her mind in the whirling confusion and elemental fury that waged all about her?
6459Did n''t know as you was a sky pilot feller?"
6459Do n''t they eat it or do something with it and then have beautiful dreams?
6459Do you s''pose that any man''ud be foolish enough to locate a rich mine an''then not file a claim to it?"
6459Does it meet with your approval?"
6459Evidently, then, he had been mounted at some time-- presumably recently, but where was his horse?
6459Frightened of what?"
6459From the bottom of the chassis Roy demanded:"Are we too late?"
6459He is--""Will you do what I tell you?"
6459Hot or cold?"
6459How so?"
6459Hyar,"he exclaimed, looking back at the horsemen behind him,"whar''s that dude Chick Berry?"
6459I wonder if that could be what-- what that Mongolian was regarding so closely?"
6459I wonder what he wants?"
6459If not--""If not senor--?"
6459Immediately after breakfast Mr. Bell called the boys aside and said:"How long will it take to get an aeroplane ready?"
6459Is there a storm coming?"
6459It is agreed, is it not, that not a word of our suspicions are to be breathed to the ladies?"
6459Now then, you rascal,"addressing the"romantic bandit,"who had scrambled to his feet,"where are the rest of Red Bill''s precious gang?"
6459Of what dear?"
6459Only Peggy remarked with withering scorn:"I think you might have waited till you were asked, do n''t you?"
6459Peggy, you do n''t think it was anything supernatural, do you?"
6459Say, boys, I wonder ef that''s what Jim Bell''s in Blue Creek fur?"
6459That''s plain enough, eh?"
6459There might be a train leaving within a reasonable time:"Can we get a train there?"
6459Want ter hear about it?"
6459Was it fancy, or as he switched abruptly about did he actually see a dark object duck behind a rock?
6459Was it possible that the coyotes--?
6459What can have happened?"
6459What can he be doing out in this desert country without a horse?"
6459What can it be?"
6459What do you suppose he wants?"
6459What if he should turn out in real earnest to be a desperate character?"
6459What nex''?"
6459What was it he was crying out?
6459What would their next be?
6459What''s all that dust?"
6459Which of you shot it?"
6459Who could be the sharers of their excursion into the untraveled wastes?
6459Who would run the machine if we were n''t along?"
6459Whose-- Roy''s?"
6459Wo n''t they kill you when they find the ponies are gone?"
6459Wonder ef thet feller Juan is learning much?"
6459Would n''t think he wuz a millionaire ter look at him, would yer?"
6459You alters wuz a good tracker?"
6459You know that little jade god that Clara Cummings brought back from China with her when her father resigned as consul there?"
6459You rec''lect that red- hot basin we come through?"
6459You surely do n''t believe all the rot those superstitious Mexicans talk, do you?"
6459You understand?"
6459are you badly hurt, dear?"
6459drawled Bud, as his followers came loping up;"anything I kin do?
6459he demanded;"your sky bronco foundered?
6459inquired Mr. Bell,"you think he''d make an interesting study?"
6459what is the matter with the Senor Bell?"
52025Ai n''t either one o''''em George Hobbes?
52025Ai n''t in no rush, are ye?
52025An''thar''s a thousand out fer him?
52025And those forged I O U''s-- where did you learn about them?
52025Are we going to St. Paul for an interview?
52025Are you Newt Prebbles?
52025Are you going to let yourself be bluffed by a fellow of his size?
52025Are you willing to take a little risk, Prebbles?
52025Aëroplanes are built to sell, are n''t they?
52025B''ar, painter, ur catamount?
52025By night as well as by day?
52025Can you hang on?
52025Cheat?
52025Depends on what?
52025Did n''t Matt get away in great shape?
52025Did n''t you find out last night that you had been cheated?
52025Did n''t you hear me say I had work to do? 52025 Did you bring the money?"
52025Do you know any one, in these parts, by the name of Newt Prebbles?
52025Do you know the country between here and Totten?
52025Do you know where we was lame, Ping?
52025Do you live here?
52025Do you think saving my life gives you a right to do that?
52025Go free?
52025Goin''somewheres?
52025Hallo,said the backwoodsman, as he lowered his rifle,"is that so?
52025Has what you''ve got to say anything to do with Murgatroyd?
52025Have n''t you forgotten something, Newt?
52025Have you got any matches?
52025He cheated you?
52025Hev we got ter waste our vallyble time pusson''ly conductin''sich a missable galoot across the border?
52025How are the police going to locate Murgatroyd?
52025How are we going to know we''re keeping the course, pard?
52025How are you?
52025How can you make any profit off them if you do n''t sell them?
52025How did he happen to come here, Newt?
52025How did you happen to be around here in that flying machine?
52025How long have we been in the air, Ping?
52025How many I O U''s for gambling debts did you leave in Jamestown, Prebbles, when you left there?
52025How so?
52025How will the roads be after this rain?
52025How''ll you get from here to Bismarck?
52025How''s Prebbles, O''Hara?
52025How?
52025I guess I was of some use, after all, eh, Matt? 52025 I wonder if you really mean to shell out enough to take me that far?"
52025Is he there, now?
52025Is that the truth?
52025Is the sickness serious?
52025It''u''d be a feather in yer cap if ye toted him in, would n''t it?
52025Jest takin''a leetle fly fer the fun o''the thing?
52025Jump on when she''s goin''sixty miles an hour?
52025Kin you swim?
52025Mebbyso Melican men makee chase fo''McGloly and Ping, huh?
52025Motor Matt,said he,"are you telling me the truth about my father?
52025Ping comes in on the deal, does he?
52025Plaps we lun, ketchee Matt, no lettee Melican men ketchee us?
52025Risk? 52025 Say, what d''ye think my scalp''s wuth?"
52025Say, you,he cried angrily,"what you putting up this kind of a deal on us for?
52025Sit me up in a chair, ca n''t you?
52025Sounds easy, do n''t it? 52025 Speak to me about that, will you?
52025Spearman,he went on,"are you such a fool you think you can punish me by allowing this man his freedom?"
52025Suppose Prebbles does n''t care to risk his neck in the machine?
52025Suppose an accident happens to the flying machine,said he,"and you are dropped on the open prairie, fifty miles from anywhere?
52025Suppose we let this Motor Matt, as you call him, go free? 52025 Tell me, Hen,"he proceeded,"what we''re goin''ter do to the low- down tinhorn who run in them fancy tricks on us at the bunk house?"
52025That''s your brand, is it?
52025Then,continued Matt,"how did it happen that Murgatroyd had several duebills, signed by you?"
52025Then,said Cameron, with sudden animation,"I''m to get leave and go with you by train, to- morrow morning, to Bismarck, on our way to Burnt Creek?"
52025Was n''t expecting to find me here, eh?
52025We''ll have to wait here till ye git back, wo n''t we?
52025Well, then,bristled McGlory,"maybe you''ll explain why you helped Murgatroyd down Matt, in the first place?"
52025Whar ye goin''? 52025 What are you doing that for?"
52025What are you trying to pry into my business affairs for?
52025What are you, by profession-- a cowboy or a gambler?
52025What did you stop us for?
52025What do you think, pard?
52025What have I been paying you, for? 52025 What have you got to say?"
52025What in thunder''s the matter now?
52025What is it, O''Hara?
52025What is it, old feller?
52025What made you come so slow?
52025What next, Matt?
52025What of that?
52025What other way is there?
52025What sort of a looking man was this Hobbes?
52025What was that, pard?
52025What were you intending to do here?
52025What will you do with Prebbles, if he''s well enough to go?
52025What you got thar, Bull?
52025What you shorthorns gassin''about?
52025What''s doin''?
52025What''s that?
52025What''s that?
52025What''s that?
52025What''s to be done?
52025What''s yer bizness in these parts?
52025When d''ye leave thar?
52025When did you get here, Murg?
52025When did you leave Jamestown?
52025When did you see him? 52025 When will he be back?"
52025Where is Newt now?
52025Where''ll we come down?
52025Where''s the old man, Prebbles?
52025Which ye''d git?
52025Who are you?
52025Who is he?
52025Who told you about those duebills?
52025Who''s Leftenant Cameron?
52025Who''s got the money that was won at the bunk house?
52025Why did it break?
52025Why did n''t you fellows hurry up?
52025Why did n''t you wait in the town until the rain was over?
52025Why did you jump on him like that?
52025Why do n''t you go hunting for Murgatroyd?
52025Why kain''t I git in thar with him,asked Spearman,"an''travel with the machine right from the start?"
52025Why not get an automobile from Devil''s Lake City,suggested Cameron,"and reach Jamestown in time to connect with an earlier train?"
52025Why not leave him here and let me go with you?
52025Why not leave the Chinaman behind and take me?
52025Why so?
52025Why were you chasing me in that air ship, then?
52025Will I? 52025 Wonder what folks''ll invent next?
52025Ye''re purty good at jumpin'',jeered another,"so why do n''t ye jump aboard?
52025You know this fellow, then?
52025You''ll see that it is returned?
52025You''re still determined to go into the show business, Matt?
52025And how did he happen to tell you anything like that?"
52025And how has the spark worked?
52025And what sort of a trail are we leaving?"
52025And_ draw_?
52025Are you any better off?"
52025As a soldier in the ranks, had he the right to take this advantage of his employer?
52025But was it a false step?
52025But what''s Newt writing to_ him_ for?
52025But what''s he doing here?
52025But who cares?
52025But who is it ye have along?"
52025But ye heered me say we''d cut our eyeteeth, did n''t ye?
52025Do you know the man?"
52025Ever get a hunch like that and not be able to explain how you got it?"
52025Got any weppins among ye?"
52025Has it been make or break with him?
52025Have you a lantern, Newt?"
52025He can gouge and strip a man, while sayin''he''s actin''for Hobbes, see?"
52025He is dangerously sick at Fort Totten?
52025Hey, pard?"
52025Hey?
52025How did he pass the night?"
52025How does it hit ye?"
52025How far do you make it, Matt, to where we''re going?"
52025How fast are we going?"
52025How shall I get back to Bismarck after you release me?"
52025I did what I could for you-- remember that?
52025I reckon the boot''s on the other leg, this deal, hey, Slim?"
52025I reckon ye''ve laughed a- considerable about that, hey?
52025I reckon, Motor Matt, ye''re plumb anxious ter take him ter Totten, ai n''t ye?"
52025I wonder if you know how hard it is for a man like me to bring up a boy without a good woman to help?
52025If that''s so, why are you afraid to face the music?
52025Is it worth while to take hush money from him?
52025Is that yerself, Motor Matt?"
52025Is the scoundrel worth protecting?
52025Know what that is, do n''t you, Matt?
52025Matt, you old sphinx, why did n''t you say something about this before?"
52025McGlory,"and here the lieutenant turned to the cowboy,"do you feel as much like flying, this morning, as you did last night?"
52025Never reckoned nothin'', did we?
52025Now what would you be afther thinkin''av that?
52025Now, what''s been going on here?"
52025Or have you a partnership interest in it?
52025Pris''ner, hev ye got anythin''ter say?"
52025Say, do you think he''s come to tell us something about Murg?"
52025Share and share alike?
52025Take him up to Cameron''s quarters at once, will you?"
52025That is your name, is it?"
52025Think you can manage it?"
52025WHAT NEXT?
52025WHAT NEXT?
52025Waal, now, ai n''t this here a pleasin''surprise-- fer us?
52025Was Prebbles to send that letter on without first seeing what was inside it?
52025Was it the handle of his revolver?"
52025Whar d''ye hail from?"
52025What are you about?"
52025What could he, and McGlory, and Ping do against six armed cowboys who, because of their hostility, would not listen to reason?
52025What do you say?"
52025What does Newt know about Murgatroyd?
52025What in thunder ur you doin''up thar?"
52025What kinder way is that ter treat a feller?
52025What more do you want?"
52025What say, Slim?"
52025What sort of way is that to act toward the man who saved you from drowning?"
52025What was the amount of money you stole from the Tin Cup outfit?"
52025What''s the use of hoofin''it, or ridin''in railroad cars, when you can pick up a pair of wings and a motor and go gallywhooping through the air?"
52025What''s this about the accident to Traquair?
52025What''s your business with Newt Prebbles?"
52025Where did you find the sheriff, Cameron?"
52025Which of you uses that name?
52025While we were losing all this time, what will Murgatroyd be doing?"
52025Who asked for your help?
52025Who is he?"
52025Who''d''a''thort it possible?"
52025Who''s the gent on the floor?"
52025Why did it break?"
52025Why do you want to shirk the consequences?"
52025Will he and young Prebbles stay at Burnt Creek until we arrive?
52025Wonder how Matt''s getting along, advancing that spark?
52025Would the jolt disengage the man''s hands, or have any serious effect on the_ Comet_?
52025You can trust me to advance the spark of friendship, ca n''t you?"
52025You got my letter all right?"
52025You''ve found out a lot about me, but how much have you told me about yourself?
52025roared McGlory, as the air ship swept downward to within fifty feet of the ground,"what town is this?"
51343Air line?
51343And how far are you from Minnewaukon?
51343And how,went on Matt,"can Murgatroyd hope to make Mrs. Traquair give up the claim?"
51343And your claim does n''t join the Traquair quarter section?
51343Anythin''else you want ter know?
51343Anything else?
51343Are you acquainted with the country around here?
51343Are you hurt?
51343But what good''s a cool head and plenty of pluck if a flying machine up- ends with you a couple of hundred feet in the air?
51343But what has Phillips to do with Fortescue and the plans?
51343But what makes that rusty piece of steel so important?
51343But,cried Matt,"does Siwash Charley look like Ca nt Phillips?"
51343Cloud Joss no makee come, huh?
51343Could you tell me where Harry Traquair used to live?
51343Did I? 51343 Did that coyote of a Pecos Jones set ye loose?"
51343Did ye see that?
51343Did-- did he take anything else?
51343Do n''t I allers have grub?
51343Do n''t you think the Traquair machine will ever be used for commercial purposes? 51343 Do you hear it?"
51343Do you know Matthews very well, Matt?
51343Do you know what that is, Siwash?
51343Do you mean Siwash Charley, Matt?
51343Do you remember counting your gold this morning, Siwash?
51343Got any grub, Siwash?
51343Got away from''em?
51343Got yer ottermobill fixin''s on, eh?
51343Have I got to answer that? 51343 Have you any proof of it?"
51343Have you got one handy?
51343He does n''t look like a rascal, or----"Will you mind?
51343He says he has a claim joining Traquair''s on the----"Yes, I know what he says, but where is the proof that what he says is true? 51343 Hear what?"
51343Him?
51343How are you, pard?
51343How could Siwash Charley get hold of the knife?
51343How does Pecos Jones happen to be here?
51343How does the handwriting compare? 51343 How far is it to Sykestown?"
51343How in the world could Murgatroyd lure Mrs. Traquair away from Jamestown?
51343How many letters ye goin''ter write, Murg?
51343How much money did that fellow get from you, Matt?
51343How much too long is that pipe?
51343How''n thunder did ye make it, then?
51343How''s that?
51343I reckon,he observed as he ate,"I ought ter have a good bit o''money fer what I done, eh, Siwash?"
51343Is Pecos Jones known at Fort Totten?
51343Is he done for?
51343Is he far from here?
51343Is n''t Mrs. Traquair at the homestead?
51343It will take you an hour or two, I suppose, to get the machine repaired?
51343Matt has n''t got here yet?
51343Murg wo n''t, but what does Siwash Charley care? 51343 No sign of Matt yet, eh?"
51343Phillips?
51343Sho,muttered the horseman;"hit it first clatter out o''the box, did n''t I?"
51343Siwash,he asked,"what''s going to be done with that flying machine?"
51343Talks big, do n''t he, Murg?
51343The aëroplane?
51343The knife belonged to Captain Goff Fortescue?
51343Then you''re from Jamestown?
51343This must be the very satchel, do n''t you think,he added,"that the drummer received by mistake, over in Devil''s Lake City?"
51343Those other two fellows who helped you at Totten-- where are they, Siwash?
51343Toy?
51343Trouble? 51343 Tryin''ter git loose, hey?"
51343Was he to meet you in Sykestown?
51343Was that story of yours a lie?
51343We no ketchee Matt, mebbyso we ketchee Murg, huh?
51343What are the initials? 51343 What are the other conditions?"
51343What are you doing in this part of the country?
51343What did Mrs. Traquair say to you?
51343What did he play that bloomin''trick on me fer? 51343 What did that coyote do?"
51343What do you suppose that swatty is after, Cameron?
51343What do you want to''get''him fer?
51343What does it say?
51343What else do you think I mean?
51343What in Sam Hill is the matter, McGlory?
51343What is it to you, or that scoundrel with you, whether I am hurt or not?
51343What is the meaning of this?
51343What is your answer?
51343What kind of a place is this?
51343What tleleglam say, huh?
51343What ye goin''ter do, Motor Matt?
51343What you fellers roughin''things up with me fer? 51343 What''s Murgatroyd up to, Siwash?"
51343What''s the matter with you, Ping?
51343What''s the use of waiting?
51343What''s up, Matt?
51343What''s wanted?
51343What''s yer scheme?
51343Where are you taking me?
51343Where did the telegram come from?
51343Where did you get this, Ping?
51343Where have you been, Ping?
51343Where''s McGlory?
51343Where''s Ping?
51343Which is the road to Jessup''s?
51343Who ever heard of the like of that?
51343Who warned you?
51343Who''ll make us pay?
51343Who''s thar?
51343Who''s that?
51343Why did n''t I hit him?
51343Why did n''t she let Hackberry bring the deputy sheriff from Sykestown? 51343 Why did n''t ye tell me he was at the winder?"
51343Why did n''t you let me hit him, Cameron, or else hit him yourself?
51343Why did you do that, Uncle Amos?
51343Why did you try to bring him down, anyhow?
51343Why do n''t you take after Pecos, Siwash?
51343Why had he the plans and memoranda in his possession? 51343 Why is he writing to Mrs. Traquair if she''s a prisoner of his, out on the Traquair homestead?"
51343Why should I?
51343Why wo n''t ye?
51343Why, you little wart,he answered,"how much pay d''ye want fer goin''ter Totten an''back?
51343Why?
51343Will ye go right on ter Sykestown ter- night?
51343Will you let me have this for a little while, Matt?
51343Ye did n''t think it would take me more''n a day and a night to git back from Totten, did ye? 51343 Ye know whar that cache is?"
51343Ye''ll go by the way of Sykestown?
51343Yes?
51343You ca n''t?
51343You got a letter from Mrs. Traquair the other day, did n''t you, Matt?
51343You got me into this,begged Matt,"and why not set me at liberty?"
51343You savvy knife, Motol Matt?
51343You took the girl away and got Siwash Charley, eh, Murgatroyd?
51343You will take it up with your superior officer at Fort Totten?
51343Your name Murgatroyd?
5134325 AUG. 14, 1909 FIVE CENTS MOTOR MATT''S REVERSE OR CAUGHT IN A LOSING CAUSE_ BY THE AUTHOR OF"MOTOR MATT"_[ Illustration:_"Are you hurt"?
51343Ai n''t sixty dollars enough?"
51343And the scheme worked, hey?"
51343And where were the suit case and the plans?"
51343And why should a letter be written to Mrs. Traquair when she, like Matt, was supposed to be a prisoner of Murgatroyd''s?
51343Bein''such a friend o''Harry Traquair''s, why should n''t I try ter help his wife?
51343But, how in Heaven''s name, was it possible for Mrs. Traquair to let herself be spirited away?"
51343Ca n''t you do any better than this, Cameron?"
51343Calm down a little, ca n''t you?
51343Can you make them out?"
51343Did you ever run into anything like this before?"
51343Hackberry?"
51343Hackberry?"
51343Had Cameron got the matter right?
51343Hear that, Cameron?
51343Hit her up, ca n''t you, Cameron?
51343How about you, McGlory?"
51343How could I help knowing when Pecos Jones rifled it under my eyes?"
51343How long''ll ye be?"
51343How was he to free himself?
51343How''s Siwash?"
51343Hungry?"
51343I felt fairly certain, Siwash, that you would be here, so----""Well, what''s your scheme?"
51343I reckon we''d better go back the same way I come, hey?"
51343If she was a prisoner at the homestead, why was Murgatroyd writing a letter?
51343If the girl felt in this way, why had Murgatroyd had her along while pursuing his dark schemes against Mrs. Traquair?
51343Is it the same in the letter as it is in these two scraps brought in by Hackberry?"
51343Is it your intention to go there?"
51343Is n''t that a horse I see against the background of a hill, over there?"
51343Murgatroyd?"
51343Page 21, corrected"himstlf"to"himself"("How was he to free himself?
51343Say, what sort of a lookin''feller is this Siwash Charley?"
51343Sixty cases, eh?"
51343Suppose Siwash Charley had dropped the knife?"
51343Suppose we give it a closer inspection?"
51343That do n''t make Murg feel anyways good, does it?
51343Them fellers at Totten arter you, too, Murg?"
51343There were some hills, but what were hills and roads to him while in the air?
51343Traquair?"
51343Traquair?"
51343Traquair?"
51343Traquair?"
51343Was Siwash Charley really the deserter, Ca nt Phillips?
51343Was n''t luck ever to turn for him?
51343Was there to be no end to this reverse which had come his way?
51343Whar''d he go?"
51343Whar''s that coyote?
51343What d''ye think he wants me fer?"
51343What did they contain?
51343What did ye accomplish, huh?
51343What do you say, Cameron?"
51343What do you think it was?"
51343What kind o''trouble kin she make?"
51343What sort of a place is this, anyhow?"
51343What''ll Mr. Murgatroyd do with his car?"
51343What''s he wasting ammunition like that for?"
51343What''s the result if Murg and Siwash get Matt in their clutches?"
51343What''s this game you''ve put up on Motor Matt?"
51343When''ll ye start?"
51343Where is Motor Matt?"
51343Where is it?"
51343Where''ll we meet in case we get separated?"
51343Which is him?"
51343Who is this fellow Hackberry?"
51343Why did n''t ye tell me afore?"
51343Why did n''t you come by train?"
51343Why had he not gone there?
51343Why had the broker written the letters to Cameron, McGlory, and Mrs. Traquair?
51343Wonder if there''s anythin''else in there?"
51343Would anything happen to the machine while he was a prisoner in the hands of Murgatroyd and Siwash?
51343Would the new aëroplane be easy or difficult to learn?
51343Ye see, I got a claim over there, an''---- But say, are ye plumb sure it''s safe fer us ter talk?
51343You found the dagger there?"
51343You savvy place Siwash cally Ping one piecee night he fool with Flying Joss?"
52138Ai n''t you going on with us to look up the Hindoos and Haidee?
52138All ready, Haidee?
52138Am I to understand,he went on, taking a look at the gathering crowds,"that you''ll break your contract rather than take Haidee up with you?"
52138And I''m giving the fifty on top of that for taking the girl up with you?
52138And then he locked Carl inside?
52138And took off his turban and embroidered coat and replaced them with another hat and coat?
52138And you agreed to it?
52138And you do n''t want to see Haidee killed before your eyes, do you?
52138And you gave her something to be used in setting the aëroplane afire?
52138And you''ll scatter the paper?
52138Any one coming on either road?
52138Anything but the letters?
52138Are n''t you going to take me up with the_ Comet_?
52138Are we on the wrong track, after all, in spite of your Dutch friend and his paper trail, and McGlory''s reading the signs at the monkey wagon?
52138Are you all ready for me, Motor Matt?
52138Are you all right?
52138Are you mad at me, Motor Matt?
52138Are you mad?
52138But you wo n''t be more than two days here, will you, Matt?
52138Can you savvy it?
52138Did n''t you discover the trick Boss Burton played on me with the help of Haidee and Le Bon, Joe?
52138Did she know how to perform on the trapeze-- she, the niece of a powerful rajah and daughter of an English gentleman?
52138Did you ever know me to shy at a meal?
52138Do n''t you feel well?
52138Do you know where Aurung Zeeb and Haidee went?
52138Do you remember what happened during the parade?
52138Do?
52138Don''d you like der song, shink?
52138Don''d you vas going to pay me someding?
52138Going to hang back before we run out the trail, Burton?
52138Have you seen Ping, Haidee?
52138How about something to eat?
52138How are you feeling, Haidee?
52138How can it be a long chase when we''re going like this? 52138 How can that be?"
52138How do you figure it, Matt?
52138How much have you made at the business, Carl?
52138How you vas?
52138How''d Ben Ali ever manage to do that?
52138How- do, sahib?
52138I wonder if I could pick up the trail and find which way the outfit went?
52138I''m paying you five hundred a week for the stunt you pull off with the flying machine, ai n''t I?
52138If you do n''t want to take Haidee, will you take Archie le Bon?
52138Is she subject to spells of that kind?
52138Is this what you call treating me square?
52138Iss der any vone connected mit der show vat has a shtrawperry mark on der arm?
52138Iss dere a girl mit der name oof Markaret Manners?
52138Knows where the girl is?
52138Matter?
52138Me?
52138Motor Matt, you''re not going to keep me from making that extra money? 52138 My workee fo''Motol Matt,"whispered Ping, who had likewise been given a push by the cowboy;"Dutchy boy no workee, huh?"
52138On Haidee''s account?
52138Pay?
52138Run away?
52138Say, misder, iss dis der shteam cantalope tent?
52138See any one?
52138She was n''t hurt, was she?
52138So? 52138 Strawberry mark on the arm?"
52138Sure of that?
52138Telegrams?
52138Then, first, who are you?
52138There is n''t another show trying to hire you away from me, is there? 52138 Vat oof der Hindoos ged avay from you und come ad me?"
52138Vat''s dose?
52138Vat''s dot? 52138 Was she hypnotized when she came to the aëroplane and played that trick to go up in the machine with me?"
52138Was that your Dutch pard?
52138We must have been three or four hundred feet away from you, Joe,returned Matt,"and how could you see it was a hatpin?"
52138What ails that brown rascal?
52138What are you leading up to by this sort of talk?
52138What could have gone wrong with him?
52138What did Ben Ali do?
52138What do you make of it, Joe?
52138What do you make out of that move of Haidee''s?
52138What do you s''pose Motor Matt would think of this, Ping?
52138What do you suppose Ben Ali was listening to Carl''s talk for, there on the inside of the menagerie tent?
52138What do you think of it, Matt?
52138What does your uncle, Ben Ali, think of it, Haidee?
52138What else is there in the box, Joe?
52138What happened?
52138What is it?
52138What is it?
52138What is that, sahib?
52138What is your uncle looking this way for, Haidee?
52138What sort of a cowboy are you, anyhow?
52138What sort of a job did they give you, Carl?
52138What the dickens did Ben Ali want to run off Carl for?
52138What was it, pard?
52138What was it?
52138What''s amiss?
52138What''s an aëroplane? 52138 What''s become of Ping?"
52138What''s inside?
52138What''s on your mind?
52138What''s that white object in the road?
52138What''s that?
52138What''s that?
52138What''s the matter with Ben Ali?
52138What''s the matter with the girl?
52138What''s the matter with you two kids?
52138What''s the matter with you, pard?
52138What''s the matter with you?
52138What''s the matter with your niece?
52138What''s the matter?
52138What''s the trouble here, boys?
52138What''s the use of being put out with you? 52138 What''s to pay, sis?"
52138When was this?
52138Where am I? 52138 Where did Haidee go?"
52138Where did the call come from?
52138Where did the girl come in?
52138Where did you get the runabout, Carl?
52138Where did you pick up Ben Ali and Haidee?
52138Where was Ben Ali?
52138Where''d that ijut come from?
52138Where''d you leave the memorandum book?
52138Where''s Ben Ali?
52138Where''s Carl?
52138Where''s Haidee?
52138Who could have started the fire, if it was n''t the girl?
52138Who left der cage toor oben?
52138Who was the fellow? 52138 Why ca n''t you understand that I''m just as able as ever to do my trapeze work?
52138Why did n''t Carl yell again?
52138Why did you join a show and take the girl with you?
52138Why did you want her to go up on the flying machine?
52138Why not?
52138Why was that?
52138Why?
52138Will you talk with me frankly and answer my questions, Ben Ali,proceeded Matt,"providing we promise to let you go?"
52138Worth?
52138Would n''t that rattle your spurs, pard?
52138You can run one of these here buzz- wagons, ca n''t you, Matt?
52138You do n''t mean to say that you want the girl to ride a trapeze under the_ Comet_?
52138You have to do something, do n''t you, before you get the money?
52138You hear me,_ meetoowah_? 52138 You hypnotized her before the parade and told her to do something to make me trouble?"
52138You know pooty near efery vone dot vorks for der show, hey?
52138You say Ben Ali drove up in a wagon?
52138Ah, is that you, Motor Matt?
52138And what happened while I was in the air with Motor Matt?
52138Are you going to try and keep me from dropping under the machine with the trapeze?"
52138But the girl was clear- headed, was n''t she?
52138But where are we going?
52138But, tell me this, what has that old elephant driver, Ben Ali, got to do with Haidee?
52138Ca n''t you see?
52138Can I come in a minute?"
52138Can you do it in time for an ascent to- night?
52138Could he drop to earth, the young motorist was asking himself, before the fire struck either of the gasoline tanks?
52138Could you recognize him?"
52138Crossed wires, or something?"
52138Den vat?
52138Do n''t you know how to take care of a horse?"
52138Do n''t you know who we are?"
52138Do you think he ought to be bounced?"
52138Eh, Joe?"
52138Great spark plugs, old chap, where did you drop from?"
52138Haf- a you seen- a der gal?"
52138Haf- a you seen- a der girl aroundt loose some- a- veres?"
52138Have you any notion what he means by that sort of work?"
52138Have you written to London to secure further information?"
52138He did n''t look like himself, so why not be some one else?
52138How do you account for that?"
52138How in the world did the machine take fire?
52138How long will it take you to fix up the machine?

52138How_ could_ he drop''em?
52138I wonder if Haidee knows what she''s about?"
52138If he is, just how much has the girl''s queer actions to do with Ben Ali?
52138Modor Matt?
52138Say, vonce, iss Modor Matt aroundt der blace?"
52138Suppose she were to have one while we''re in the air?
52138That trapeze act on the aëroplane will make a great hit, do n''t you think?"
52138That''s fair, ai n''t it?"

52138WAS IT TREACHERY?
52138WAS IT TREACHERY?
52138Was he making a fool of himself or not?
52138What are we doing here?
52138What did he say about her?
52138What did you run away from us for?"
52138What do you think of that Haidee girl to do a thing like this?
52138What does an elephant driver know about hypnotism?
52138What happened during the parade this morning?
52138What has that crafty mahout got at the back of his head?
52138What possessed the girl?"
52138What was passing in her mind?
52138What will you do with the aëroplane?"
52138What would Motor Matt think of his nerve if he could know the game he had embarked upon, and how he had been stampeded in playing it?
52138What''s her notion about it?
52138What''s the matter with you?
52138What''s this?"
52138When and how, Ping?"
52138When are you going to get busy with the repairs?"
52138When you come to that, why should she want to take her own life?
52138Where are the other two?"
52138Where did they come from?"
52138Where''ll I send it?"
52138Why have you got the rig here?
52138Why should she want to destroy the_ Comet_, or me?
52138Why?"
52138Will I do?"
52138Would a trained detective have proceeded in that manner?
52138Would she want to burn the aëroplane and drop herself and me plump into the show grounds?
52138You forget all that, huh?"
52138You understan''?
52138You understand that, do n''t you?"
52138You understand,_ meetoowah_?"
52138You understand?"
52138You understand?"

52138You''ll bring along the automobile, Matt?"
52138_ Kabultah, meetoowah?_""Yes, yes,"breathed the girl,"I understand.
52138jested the showman impatiently;"in the monkey wagon?"
52138she exclaimed, with a sharp cry,"where am I?"
52891Afraidt?
52891Ai n''t you fer the Rapids?
52891And it was from Ben Ali?
52891And that Pard Matt trailed after him?
52891And where does he want to meet Dhondaram?
52891Are you Matt King,he asked,"the fellow they call Motor Matt?"
52891Are you flagging me?
52891Are you going to try that, all alone, in the_ Comet_?
52891Are you holding on, Miss Manners?
52891Be back there in time to take the aëroplane aloft at six- thirty? 52891 But, look here, do you see the station yonder?"
52891By Jerry,he cried,"what am I giving you your salary for?
52891Ca n''t you tell me what you''re going to do?
52891Can he read that Hindoostanee lingo? 52891 Den it_ vas_ you, hey?
52891Dhondaram did n''t get the money?
52891Did either of you ever see a prettier bit of traveling? 52891 Did we?"
52891Did you see the look Dhondaram gave him while he was handing us that long palaver? 52891 Did you set that Roman candle to goin''?"
52891Didju fall off?
52891Disappeared?
52891Ditn''t I findt dot Margaret Manners vat vas draveling mit der show? 52891 Do you think,"asked Matt,"that we could go to that place on the Elgin road and meet Ben Ali instead of letting Dhondaram do it?"
52891Does Ben Ali know about this house of yours?
52891Does he think I can read Hindoostanee?
52891Doing an aëroplane stunt with the show?
52891From what you said at that house with the green shutters, I take it you''re not going back to the show with me?
52891Haf you prought der money?
52891Has Bill Wily any right to it?
52891Have you any idea that Ben Ali is mixed up in the affair?
52891Have you any idea who the man was that called on the English woman in Lafayette and took Miss Manners away?
52891He treated you well?
52891Hit the trail?
52891How are you going about it?
52891How could you expect me to do a thing like that without getting a nick or two? 52891 How did he know we wanted Wily?"
52891How did you happen to be here?
52891How dit der gandle go off mit itseluf? 52891 How do you know the opening is big enough for you to come down in?
52891How you like der pooty firevorks?
52891How you was, Dutch?
52891How''ll Ben Ali think Dhondaram is running the_ Comet_, pard?
52891Hurt?
52891I do n''t have to tell what''s in the letter in order to prove it''s mine, see? 52891 I know dot, aber vill I ged it?
52891Is he crazy, or what?
52891Is n''t the envelope addressed?
52891Is n''t there a name on the letter?
52891Is that so, Carl?
52891Is there no way out of this hole, sahib?
52891Join the show?
52891Just how sorry are you? 52891 Just where is that cot, my dear sir?"
52891Load that machine into the runabout and drive this rig back to the show grounds for me, will you?
52891Markley, do you know you are going at the rate of sixty miles an hour?
52891Matter?
52891Now what?
52891So that''s it, eh?
52891So you put the kibosh on our brown friend all by yourself, did you?
52891Somebody''s blunder?
52891Speak to me about it, will you? 52891 Suppose Ben Ali sees only one man on the machine, and thinks that the man is Dhondaram?"
52891Suppose we should come in on him from both sides at once?
52891That''s your game, is it?
52891Then there''s no telling how long Bill Wily has carried it in his pocket?
52891Then where did they go?
52891Then you went in, looked around, and could n''t see anything of either of them?
52891There are others, you say?
52891They made tracks for a house with green blinds? 52891 Too much weather for the flyin''machine to- day, huh?
52891Vas you looking for me to pay ofer dot rewart?
52891Vat iss dot?
52891Vat''s to pay?

52891We allee same fliends, huh?
52891Well, anyhow, what are we going to do? 52891 Well?"
52891What can we do for you?
52891What did he jump from the car for if he wanted to go on with us? 52891 What did you do with your part of the letter?"
52891What do you think of yourself, hey?
52891What does that mean?
52891What does the letter say?
52891What good''s a flying machine, pard, when a spell of weather puts it down and out? 52891 What had Ben Ali to say to you?"
52891What have you got to do with this house?
52891What have you got up your sleeve?
52891What is it?
52891What letter?
52891What sort of a way is that to act, Bill Wily?
52891What sort of writing is this?
52891What the nation was he following Wily for?
52891What was Dhondaram''s work?
52891What was the matter?
52891What was you chasin''me for, Motor Matt?
52891What yuh got there?
52891What''re you making a run from the show grounds for without saying a word to Matt?
52891What''re you roughing things up like this for, Wily?
52891What''s he givin''us?
52891What''s our next jump, your highness?
52891What''s the good?
52891What''s the matter when you set out in an automobile and do n''t arrive where you''re going? 52891 What''s the matter?"
52891What''s the price for a trip on the_ Comet_?
52891What''s to pay?
52891What''s up?
52891What''ve I done?
52891What''ve you got to say for yourself?
52891Where did Ben Ali send his letter from?
52891Where did he get it?
52891Where did the man take you?
52891Where does your air- ship line run?
52891Where''d yuh git that paper?
52891Where''s Matt?
52891Where''s Motor Matt?
52891Where''s the Hindoo?
52891Where?
52891Who are you, my friend?
52891Who else besides McGlory?
52891Who knows whether there''s an opening there or not?
52891Who was he?
52891Who was the man who impersonated the agent of the British ambassador?
52891Who''s it for?
52891Why are you treating me like this?
52891Why did n''t you grab him,demanded Burton,"and turn him over to me?"
52891Why did n''t you wait and give us a chance?
52891Why does n''t the ambassador agree to send some one to meet Ben Ali? 52891 Why my makee jump my wanchee go Glan''Lapids?"
52891Why my makee tlouble fo''fliend?
52891Why should n''t I?
52891Why were you running away from me?
52891Why, where the nation is he? 52891 Would he run, then?"
52891Yeou tew kids aire chums, huh?
52891You heap mad with Ping, huh?
52891You know him makee shoot Loman candle, play plenty hob with side show? 52891 You no pullee pin on China boy?"
52891You saw what was goin''on?
52891You say,remarked McGlory, giving the house a swift sizing,"that Wily Bill ran into the house?"
52891You vant to choin in mit me, hey?
52891You''ll make a couple of flights to- day, wo n''t you?
52891You''re crazy?
52891You''re going to make up for the part?
52891You''re not afraid?
52891You''re not goin''to bear down too hard on me, are you, Burton?
52891Yuh goin''to give me that?
52891Aber he von''t say vat iss in der ledder, so how could I know?"
52891Am I correct?"
52891And the girl-- who was she?
52891And was there any one at home?
52891And where''s Pard Matt?"
52891Backsliding, eh?"
52891But what are you making the flight for, if not to please the people?"
52891Can you give any information, Motor Matt, that will help us find Ben Ali, or Miss Manners?"
52891Chadwick''s?"
52891Come back to earth now, and tell me what''s on your mind?"
52891Dhondaram, I make no doubt, is highly gifted, but will Ben Ali credit him with skill enough to operate the aëroplane?"
52891Did n''t I just tell you it was lost?
52891Did you see me coming back from the oak opening?"
52891Did you think I was Dhondaram?
52891Dit you make all der drouples?
52891Ditn''t I get dot Ben Ali Hindoo feller on der run?
52891Ditn''t I vin fife tousant tollars?"
52891Everything''s lovely, eh?"
52891Had he lost his matches in taking that header from the street car?
52891Hey?"
52891How could I lose somet''ing vat I do n''t got?"
52891How could Matt make him?
52891How could he have done that and then shown up in Kalamazoo the morning we got there?"
52891How''s tricks, huh?"
52891I suppose Ping and Carl are at the show grounds and are looking after the aëroplane?"
52891I used to live in Grand Rapids, and the home town was a good place for me to cut loose from the show, see?"
52891If that''s the case, what''s he doing with the letter?"
52891If there was any one in the place, would they talk with him and tell him whether they had seen Matt or the side- show man?
52891In other words, I''m to tell my business, eh?
52891Iss it shink wriding, Ping?"
52891Motor Matt was afeared to go up, I reckon, Dutch?"
52891Page 1, corrected?
52891Page 18, changed"go"to"got"in"What have you got to do with this house?"
52891Perhaps Wily had rushed out of a rear door, and Matt had followed him?
52891Sit here and wait, or hit the trail ourselves and find out what''s doing?"
52891So that''s what you passed up the afternoon flight for, eh?"
52891Sorry enough to make a clean breast of everything?"
52891Speak to me about this, will you?
52891Subbose we findt oudt vat der ledder iss aboudt?"
52891Then, glad that he was able to change the subject, he remarked:"You losee one piecee papel in tent, Clal?"
52891There was only one idea just then in the Dutch boy''s mind, and that was this:"How dit dot Roman gandle go off mit itseluf?
52891There, how''s that?"
52891They went up the bank and into the woods, you say?"
52891Twomley?"
52891Was he being hypnotized in spite of himself?
52891Was it possible,_ could_ it be possible, that the girl was Margaret Manners?
52891Wha''ju jump onto our stage for?"
52891What about the automobile?"
52891What d''you take me for?
52891What do you think?"
52891What else could I do but make myself safe?"
52891What had become of Motor Matt?
52891What was that?"
52891What was the blunder?
52891What we do?"
52891When''ll you get back to the grounds?"
52891Where did you get the thing, Carl?"
52891Where was the automobile?
52891Where''d you come from, Ping?
52891Where''s Ping?
52891Where''s this house?"
52891Who lived in the house?
52891Who will go?"
52891Who''s the Chinaman?"
52891Why not send''em to jail, where they belong?"
52891Why should we hit it, and what shall we hit it with?"
52891Will you let me take your motorcycle?"
52891Wo n''t he think it queer that Dhondaram is navigating the flying machine?
52891Yet what did that strange weakness mean?
52891You are sure,"the girl asked tremblingly,"that this other agent of the British ambassador is really the person he pretends to be?"
52891You have saved me again, Motor Matt, but what is the use of it all if I ca n''t leave this country and go to England, or back to India?
52891whooped Carl,"vas it you dot douched him off ven der gandle vas my pack pehindt und I don''d see?
45547''I ca n''t, eh? 45547 ''Where''s the best place to hit you?''
45547Alive?
45547And did you get him out?
45547And hunt the lion? 45547 And is he here-- alive?"
45547And these runaway boys have done about all of it, have n''t they?
45547And we could take some grapple hooks--"We?
45547And who shot him?
45547Are you goin''to fix up your aeroplane again, or get a new one?
45547Are you going to quit flying?
45547Behind what?
45547Break the ground?
45547But what''s become of the boy? 45547 But why not find the gun first?
45547C- can''t we break the ground here and make the stone fall down?
45547Ca n''t one of you offer a possible explanation?
45547Ca n''t we go with you and hunt for Hal?
45547Can I?
45547Can you tell me where you got it?
45547Could n''t you find him?
45547Did Smash fall off his ear?
45547Did a burglar break in?
45547Did anybody see Hal or hear his voice on the way back?
45547Did he break his neck?
45547Did n''t you ever know anything you could n''t prove?
45547Did n''t you have any with you, or had n''t you gathered any yet?
45547Did you find anything in the cave that tended to prove your suspicion?
45547Did you find the gun?
45547Did you meet him afterward?
45547Did you put me in it or did Pepper?
45547Do n''t you believe he had a bag of souvenirs?
45547Do n''t you hear it?
45547Do n''t you see we''re standing on granite? 45547 Do you think he swallowed it?"
45547Do you think he''s comin''here?
45547Does everybody call it that?
45547Everybody here?
45547First, do you all know what a biplane is?
45547Frank, Frank, what is the matter? 45547 Frank, what_ is_ the matter?"
45547Have you found a way down?
45547Hello, Hal, what''s the matter?
45547How about that weight?
45547How about the fish?
45547How did it get into the cave then?
45547How do you know he took them?
45547How do you know?
45547How do you suppose they got up here?
45547How in the world are we ever going to get out of this?
45547How we going to go?
45547How would it get there?
45547How?
45547How?
45547How?
45547I do n''t, eh?
45547If he did, what became of it? 45547 If it''s a panther or a lynx, where do you suppose it is?"
45547In the airship?
45547In the airship?
45547In the cañon?
45547Is he killed?
45547Is that so?
45547Is that so?
45547Is that true?
45547It came near being a pretty serious trap, did n''t it? 45547 It may explain, may it not, what became of Hal?"
45547Just so we do n''t call you down, eh?
45547Kenyon missing? 45547 Like the one you fell in?"
45547Make it up yourself?
45547Maxwell was his name?
45547Not_ Bad_?
45547Nothing? 45547 Now what are we going to do next?"
45547Now, who''s going to tell us a story about the mummy?
45547Oh!--when will it be here?
45547Oh- h--groaned Bad,"what shall I do?
45547Out o''the water? 45547 Out o''where-- the cave?"
45547Ready to go now?
45547See? 45547 The Boy Scouts_ of the Air_?"
45547Was Dr. Edwards hurt?
45547Was n''t that a funny place for cliff dwellers to build their homes?
45547Well, boys,he said slowly, wiping his glasses with his handkerchief,"what do you think of yourselves?
45547Well, what do you think of it, boys?
45547Well, what''s the difference? 45547 Well, where would you suggest that we hunt first?"
45547Well, who has something more to add to the story of Flathead?
45547What became of your specimens?
45547What do the rest of you think?
45547What do you mean?
45547What do you think it is-- a ghost?
45547What else have we here?
45547What for? 45547 What good will that do us?"
45547What have you to say to it, Hal?
45547What in the world does that mean?
45547What is a plane?
45547What is it?
45547What kind is it going to be?
45547What then?
45547What will the new aeroplane look like?
45547What would I do here without you? 45547 What you going to do?
45547What you going to do? 45547 What you kids up to?"
45547What''s his name?
45547What''s that?
45547What''s that?
45547What''s that?
45547What''s the Ozone?
45547What''s the difference between a biplane and a monoplane?
45547What''s the matter?
45547What''s the matter?
45547What''s the name of this cañon?
45547What''s up, Bad?
45547When are we going?
45547When are you going to begin work?
45547When you goin'', Hal?
45547Where are the others?
45547Where are the rest of them?
45547Where are you, Hal?
45547Where did you get it?
45547Where have you been?
45547Where is Hal?
45547Where is it?
45547Where you found my bag of souvenirs?
45547Where you going to- night?
45547Where you going-- home?
45547Where you going?
45547Where''d you get that story?
45547Where''s Frank?
45547Where''s the lion?
45547Where''s your gun?
45547Who is he?
45547Why did n''t you say something about it? 45547 Why did n''t you throw it away?"
45547Why did n''t you turn it over to me with the bag?
45547Why me? 45547 Why not, Hal?"
45547Wo n''t do what any more?
45547Would he jump at me or would he jump back? 45547 Yes, why not?"
45547You can make''em all in half an hour, ca n''t you?
45547You did n''t find any rubies or garnets or streaks of gold there, did you?
45547You found a nugget in the cave, did you?
45547You hit the horse, did n''t you?
45547You mean that the beast killed him?
45547You think it fell to the ground with the aeroplane?
45547You think somebody put it there?
45547You was n''t?
45547You will know it all, will you?
45547And can we all have a ride?"
45547And yet, it''s as simple as A- B- C.""In what way?"
45547Are you proud of what you have done, or do you agree that such an escapade deserves something of a reckoning?"
45547As they were leaving the cañon, Dr. Byrd inquired:"What kind of place is that cave, Hal?"
45547But Mr. Porter had a high, shrill voice, and when he sang out with all his strength"Oh, Hal, where are you?"
45547But do n''t you think you made a mistake by running away?
45547But what are we going to eat?
45547But what does all this mean?"
45547But what you going to run away for, Hal?
45547But where should they make their home?
45547Buy another airship?"
45547CHAPTER VIII HAL''S DISCOVERY Meanwhile, what had become of Hal Kenyon?
45547CHAPTER XIX THE RESCUING AIRSHIP"How do you know?"
45547CHAPTER XXIV MOUNTAIN LION BRIDGE"How you going to spend your holiday?"
45547Can you explain that so we can understand how it keeps the ship from turning over?"
45547Can you make yourself comfortable in there until morning?
45547Dared he risk it?
45547Did it just happen to come untied from the strut at that time?
45547Did n''t you find them?"
45547Do you mean to say that I stole it?"
45547For a while they did nothing but eat and drink, but at last Pickles inquired:"How did you know we was here?"
45547Frank nodded understandingly, and Hal continued in the same manner as before:"Do you see that thing on the floor of the cave?
45547Frankland?"
45547Hence, what are the rest of us?
45547His only hope-- but was there any hope at all?
45547How could he, unless somebody found one of our arrows?
45547How could it have been a boy?"
45547How would you boys like to visit the top of Flathead again?"
45547How-- in the world did you get out?"
45547I''ll--""Clout it in the jaw?"
45547Is it the nugget?"
45547Is that what made you run away so fast?
45547Is that what makes you look so sick?
45547Miles looked with keen amusement at the last questioner and replied with a wink:"Do I look like a quitter?"
45547Nothing left, is there?"
45547Oh, what will I do?
45547Pickles, you''re not afraid to go first, are you?"
45547Porter?"
45547Save my life by running away and getting the cat to follow you?"
45547Should n''t you have remained here and faced the music?"
45547The idea seemed ridiculous; and yet what other explanation of their manner and actions could be given?
45547Then he added in a tone of astonishment:"And where did you get that gun?"
45547There was a general note of approval, and Dr. Byrd inquired:"Well, what shall it be first?"
45547They passed beyond his vision, as on former occasions, and before long he caught Mr. Porter''s shrill"Oh, Hal, where are you?"
45547Try to grapple it first or dive?"
45547Understand?"
45547Was it possible that they did not know where he was?
45547Was it you that shot?
45547Were the contents of the bag valuable?"
45547What could have happened to Frank?
45547What could he do?
45547What could they do?
45547What could this mean?
45547What did I tell you?"
45547What did I tell you?"
45547What does this mean?"
45547What for?"
45547What shall we call the waterfall itself?"
45547What will I do?
45547What would he think when he came out and found no Bad in the water?
45547What you been doing with the gun?"
45547What''d you do?
45547What''s that?"
45547Where did you drop them?"
45547Where is he?"
45547Who has an idea now?"
45547Who''s going on the next trip?"
45547Why did they not ford the river at once and come up on the other side?
45547Why did you decide to run away, Hal?"
45547Why did you hide it in your pocket and keep still?
45547Why not stop here, build a fire, and sit around and talk a while?"
45547Why not?
45547Why should they not share the glory alike?
45547Why, what''s the matter?"
45547Would n''t it be a lark to climb up under the bridge and stretch himself out along the timbers and wait there for Hal?
45547You''ll be here when I come back?"
45549A crab?
45549All O.K.?
45549All O.K.?
45549All quiet on the front?
45549Any idea where they go?
45549Any more turkey''s stolen, Uncle Norman?
45549Any rocks or islands near?
45549Any special reason?
45549Anyone in our cots?
45549Anything I can do to help?
45549Are they all right, Aunt Belle?
45549Are they laying for him?
45549Are we here?
45549Are you getting enough to eat, Bob?
45549Begun to wish you had brought your rubbers?
45549Bob? 45549 Burnam left?"
45549Can I get something to eat here?
45549Can you run a plane?
45549Did they get it back?
45549Did you do all that this morning?
45549Did you drop a little box here?
45549Did you get any sleep back there?
45549Did your Aunt think we had flown to the bottom of the lake?
45549Do all these peddlers have wagons like that?
45549Do you get dizzy easily, that is, does it make you sick to your stomach when you get on a high place and look over?
45549Do you have to send them back?
45549Do you know where your uncle is working?
45549Does he pick up American goods to take back?
45549Does he seem to be doing it, Uncle Norman?
45549Does it get much higher than it is now?
45549Enjoy your dinner?
45549Ever been up in a plane, sir?
45549Going to have a look about Isle La Motte?
45549Gosh, Buddy, remember that story of the brothers who watched the smoke go up the chimney?
45549Got enough gas?
45549Got good locks?
45549Got something on your mind besides your cap?
45549Great guns-- oh, what happened to Pedro?
45549Have many raids like that?
45549Have we been dreaming, or_ did_ we come back from Burlington in the teeth of a rip- snorting gale?
45549He can the English speak?
45549Hey, what the blazes do you think you''re doing?
45549Hezzy?
45549How about your own umbrella?
45549How are you, Burley? 45549 How did those old boys ever get anywhere or have time to do anything?"
45549How did you chaps discover this bunch?
45549How did you like Hezzy?
45549How do you explain the title, Bradshaw?
45549How do you like flying, Uncle Norman?
45549How long has he been coming?
45549How long would it take you to get me to Burlington?
45549How many demerits did they give you?
45549How soon are you starting?
45549How''s Pat?
45549I got them here all right,he muttered,"But how can I get them away?
45549I say, Buddy, did you hear anyone call?
45549I say, did n''t you have enough of it?
45549I say, is n''t that a light over there on Fisher''s?
45549I say, what are you thinking about? 45549 If we land on the water will that be all right for you, can you get to your place easily?"
45549Intend to eat sparingly?
45549Is he a Vermonter, Uncle Norman?
45549Is n''t your aunt the woman who raises such a flock of turkeys?
45549Is that a threat or a promise?
45549Is that for the cattle?
45549Is that you, Norman?
45549Is that you, boys?
45549Is this place near enough?
45549It ai n''t Bob?
45549It is good?
45549It''s O. K.,answered Bob, then added,"See that road?"
45549Jimmm?
45549Know anything about cars?
45549Let''s get some clothes on, I ca n''t sleep any more, can you?
45549Like to go up again?
45549Little Greaser?
45549Looks as if it''s working all right, does n''t it?
45549Maybe, but holy hoofs, what''s this kid doing it for?
45549My goodness, boys, what on earth did he do?
45549Need any assistance, boys?
45549Need any help?
45549No doubt, but I hope Her Highness does n''t do any more--"More?
45549No?
45549Now, how do you expect to eat your meal if you talk so much? 45549 Now, keep your shirt on, ca n''t you?
45549Of course not, Bob, but where will you sleep?
45549Same ones all the time?
45549Say Jim, know what this makes me think of, these people I mean?
45549Say, Buddy, suppose we''ll ever be lucky enough to meet that kid again?
45549Say, know what that looks like?
45549Say, what''s your rush?
45549Say, where''s that Carrying Point?
45549Shall I get in now, Jim?
45549She does n''t look much like the paper bags they made their first experiments with, does she?
45549Spot anything, Buddy?
45549Suppose they can climb up that wall?
45549Sure Hezzy is n''t putting his own brand on them?
45549Think there is room-- I mean think it''s wide enough so we can get into it without smashing the wings?
45549Thunder and Mars, why did n''t you let me do part of it?
45549Thundering rattlers, is he the thief?
45549Want me to pilot, old man?
45549Want to build a fire and toast some of these marshmallows?
45549Want to have a look at him?
45549Want to look around now?
45549We want a basket again, do n''t we? 45549 Well, I say, where does this Burnam come in?"
45549Well, go on and search me if you want to, you half- baked nut--"I say, how do you get that way?
45549Well, how''s the tooth, Aunt Belle?
45549Well, you lads get a good look at Vermont?
45549Were you frightened during the storm?
45549What did they do that for?
45549What do you make of that?
45549What do you mean?
45549What do you think you''re doing?
45549What in heck are they up to?
45549What is the boy doing with the mud hole?
45549What sort of chap is he, about your size?
45549What the heck can we do?
45549What the heck is he doing?
45549What you American kids doing here anyway? 45549 What you doing here anyway?"
45549What''ll we do with Her Highness? 45549 What''s all the shouting about?"
45549What''s eating you besides the man''s looks and his reception of us the other day?
45549What''s the matter with her?
45549What''s the matter?
45549What?
45549Where did you learn to do that?
45549Where they stopping?
45549Who is Her Highness?
45549Who is it?
45549Why do n''t you go back above the shore?
45549Why put fish in, do they expect to raise sardines?
45549Will he mind if we go closer?
45549Will the plane carry three of us?
45549Will you answer it? 45549 Would it be too much trouble for you to take me?"
45549Yes, I know you did--"And did n''t you enjoy air traveling?
45549Yes, but how the blazes do you expect to pick up the trail in Canada?
45549Yes, now, is this right? 45549 You can come down on the water to speak to the men we''ll have there?"
45549You covered up?
45549You never did cotton up to Hezzy did you?
45549You want the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
45549A book of bed- time stories?"
45549And is n''t he the grand lad for keeping his eyes open and his wits about him?"
45549Anything left in that basket?"
45549Are they good?"
45549Can you understand that?"
45549Come along-- that is-- is there anything we can do to help you, sir?"
45549Could you drop food to them?"
45549Did Bradshaw tell you that it was fitted up like a war- time trench, with living quarters, periscopes and what- not?"
45549Did n''t we slide down on the lightning the other day?"
45549Did you hear your Aunt say whether the turkeys are dying off because of the dampness?"
45549Did you know, Fenton, that the Carrying Point is covered?
45549Do n''t we want to go up tomorrow?
45549Do these storms last very long?"
45549Do you know that out- post right on the line?"
45549Do you think that pair are batty?"
45549Fenton?"
45549Got a permit a fly into Canada?"
45549Got plenty of gas?
45549Great job, is n''t it?"
45549How about it, light meat or dark, Jim?"
45549How are your air- legs, wobbly?"
45549How did you boys happen to get that man and his folks?
45549How did you happen to be out there?"
45549How did you happen to come down right here just as those lads were getting funny?"
45549How did you happen to get into the scrap?"
45549How did you like the ride?"
45549How do you like air traveling?"
45549How do you like air- traveling, Uncle Norman?"
45549How will you let us know if you receive it O.K.?"
45549I say, did you happen to notice the number of that limousine?
45549I''ll make a hitch here, so you''ll come just under me--""Sure that will hold us both?"
45549If it was all right, what the heck did he dodge us for?"
45549Is it usually so?"
45549Is she all right, or has something gone wrong with her?"
45549Is that what Burnam''s after?"
45549Is that what you do when you have a good meal at home?"
45549Is the house afloat?"
45549Is the water very rough?"
45549It ends in a rock cliff about a half mile below here?"
45549Jim?"
45549Know what he reminds me of, Bob?"
45549Know what that means?"
45549Know where that is?"
45549Now, can you get her out of this trap?"
45549Put her under arrest?"
45549Remember how long it is?"
45549Remember the day we were coming up and you noticed a neck of land, lake on both sides, that connected the two larger sections of North Hero?"
45549Right?"
45549Run along, old boy-- don''t you know your onions, or have n''t you got any this load?"
45549Savvy?"
45549Say, Jim did you notice the lake when we got home?"
45549Say, Jim, what do you suppose he is?"
45549See those fellows?"
45549Suppose your aunt would mind letting us take a lunch to eat in the air, or some nice place we pick out?"
45549That voice sounded as if it''s a little north, did n''t you think so?"
45549There is n''t any harm in trying to make friends with the boy, but I wouldn''t--""Butt- in?
45549They both told us to have a good time, and helping you looks to me like a good time--""Besides, what would we risk?
45549Want to know the readings back here?"
45549We have an extra helmet--""Shall I need rubbers?"
45549We were all at our place--""And Bob was to be sent to school?"
45549Well, we ca n''t lose all your aunt''s baskets and expect her to pack grub stakes for us, can we?"
45549What are you doing here and what have you got a green cover on your bus for?
45549What are you doing here?
45549What are you smuggling in that car?"
45549What day is it?"
45549What do you do with strangers?"
45549What do you know about that?"
45549What do you think?"
45549What do you want to do over here?"
45549What do_ you_ think of him?"
45549What shall we do with them?"
45549What sort of crab do you think she is?"
45549Where can we take you?"
45549Where in blazes is Pedro?"
45549Where was I?"
45549Why do n''t they have a good warm place to keep them when the weather is had?"
45549Why not have one of the men help him in what he is doing?
45549Will that help?"
45549Wonder if there was anything the matter with them when they arrived, or if some one over there did n''t want watch dogs?"
45549Would n''t that ravine down there be a corker place for bootleggers or smugglers to go sneaking from one side to the other?
45549You boys seen enough to satisfy you for the time being?"
45549You do n''t mind, do you?"
45549You look after your end here--""Well, I''ve been looking after my end, but blast it all, how can I keep the gang-- ten new ones, under cover?
45549You want to drive?"
45549Your pa was all spruced up-- and the next year they were in Texas--""You boys coming?"
33605A car, eh?
33605A dreadful fix? 33605 All ready behind?"
33605All ready?
33605And Roy, where is Roy?
33605And so this is the wonderful Golden Butterfly that you wrote to me about?
33605And so you are acting as chauffeur?
33605And suppose I wo n''t accept that offer?
33605And you were afraid of robbers holding you up?
33605Any answer?
33605At this rate we ought to be at the grounds in----But what was this?
33605But how in the world did you come to get in there?
33605But if that were so, why did Fanning fit up a shop out at Gid Gibbons''s place?
33605But what are you doing in town? 33605 But what of my securities in----and----and----?"
33605But where can we land?
33605But you, Peggy?
33605But, auntie,burst out Peggy, blankly,"does the man mean to say that there is nothing, absolutely nothing, on which we can realize anything?"
33605By the way, Morgan,the girl asked, suddenly,"has anything more been heard of the missing jewels?"
33605Ca n''t you delay the start for five minutes?
33605Can I come in?
33605Could what? 33605 Did what?"
33605Did you ever hear such a yarn in all your born days?
33605Do n''t they stop anywhere between here and the junction?
33605Do you mean you are actually building an aeroplane?
33605Do you think she can suspect anything?
33605Does he know you have the jewels?
33605Found out what''s the trouble, Roy?
33605From the clouds?
33605Gee, Roy, you mean it?
33605Go back with you? 33605 Good gracious, is that fashionable looking old man a hermit?"
33605Good gracious, what''s been happening?
33605Good gracious, whatever has happened?
33605Good morning, Fanning,said Jimsy, bottling up his temper at the other''s insulting manners,"can you give me a few minutes of private conversation?"
33605Good morning,he said, doffing his sombrero with a sweep and a flourish;"can I have a word with you?"
33605Had enough?
33605Have you looked everywhere for it?
33605Heard anything of Fanning Harding?
33605Here I am, sis,--what''s up?
33605How dare you say such things? 33605 How long does it take to get there?
33605How?
33605I believe that,said Peggy,"but what do you know about the disappearance of the diamonds?"
33605I guess that that sign gave you a kind of a start, eh?
33605I suppose that is why you have the horse and cart?
33605I tell you I''ll do nothing of the sort,the man was saying;"why should I go and own up that I''m a thief or the next thing to it?
33605I wonder if any one passed on this road while we were unconscious?
33605I wonder if he''ll enter for the prize?
33605I wonder who that can be so late?
33605I''ll never be able to make it in time without an automobile,moaned Roy to himself;"what shall I do?"
33605I''m getting there, ai n''t I?
33605Is that so?
33605Is your father very deeply implicated in the matter?
33605It makes no difference to you, does it?
33605It''s my-- our aeroplane,went on Roy;"who can be in it?
33605Just as you did that day at school when poor little Henry Willis was being beaten by that big bully Hank Jones?
33605Land o''Goshen, what''s that?
33605Look,cried Peggy suddenly,"is n''t that a small island below there?
33605Lost a wallet with jewelry in it, eh?
33605Maybe you know some one who is handsomer?
33605Mr. Bell, it''s Roy Prescott,he shouted;"can you get a rope and get me out?"
33605My dear Jess, whatever has happened?
33605My dear Roy,rejoined Peggy, with dignity,"do n''t you think that I am capable of taking care of myself?"
33605No, dear, not one word,she said;"is n''t it queer?
33605Not in the least,said Peggy, hastily, realizing that none of them had perhaps looked very cordial,"wo n''t you come in?"
33605Now, Mr. Harding,he concluded,"is there no way in which this matter can be straightened out?"
33605Now, then, Jeff, if you are ready will you get in?
33605Now, what could he be up to?
33605Oh, Roy, that''s it?
33605Oh, Roy, what has happened to you? 33605 Oh, Roy, what shall we do?"
33605Oh, doctor,cried Peggy, entreatingly,"ca n''t we persuade you to go back with us in the Golden Butterfly?"
33605Oh, is n''t that pretty?
33605Oh, then, you do go into town sometimes?
33605Oh, will it rise?
33605Oh, you do, eh? 33605 Oh, you mean the time you saw him in the air at night, the time we went to Washington?"
33605Oh, you poor dears,exclaimed Peggy,"and if you do n''t get there at that time?"
33605Say Peggy,spoke up Fan Harding, suddenly,"ai n''t you going to introduce me to your friends?
33605Say, Roy,he exclaimed,"you did n''t happen to put that jewel case in your pocket for safe keeping after the accident, did you?"
33605Say, who are you, and what are you doing with my aeroplane?
33605Shall I come with you?
33605So you''re trying to win out Jess Bancroft, are you?
33605So,he muttered,"that''s your scheme, is it?
33605That''s it,rejoined the boy proudly, lifting a bit of sacking from the contents of the opened crate,"is n''t it a beauty?"
33605There''s a train leaves Central Riverview junction at six, is n''t there?
33605Three minutes to starting time,cried Hal Homer anxiously;"where can Miss Prescott be?"
33605Trust to you to find Roy?
33605Trust to you?
33605Unless what?
33605Want me to take the helm?
33605Well, are you going to answer me?
33605Well, can you suggest any solution?
33605Well, doctor, how do you like it?
33605Well, here we are,exclaimed Roy, looking about him at the sylvan scene as they alighted;"and now what comes next?"
33605Well, may be you are and then again you may not be,was the Sandy Bay youngster''s cautious reply;"but how does it interest you?"
33605Well, what do you say?
33605Well, what if I do?
33605Well, what if I have?
33605Well, what would you say if I told you that that ai n''t Roy Prescott in the Golden Butterfly at all?
33605Wh- wh- when are we going up?
33605What a question, you goose?
33605What are you going to do now?
33605What are you going to do?
33605What can Fan Harding be doing with him?
33605What can have become of the jewels?
33605What can he be doing?
33605What did you see, my lad?
33605What do I mean?
33605What do you mean by saying''a lot depends on it,''girlie?
33605What do you mean, Roy? 33605 What do you mean?"
33605What do you mean?
33605What do you mean?
33605What do you mean?
33605What do you suppose they came to the island for?
33605What field did you come down in? 33605 What is it?
33605What is it?
33605What is the matter? 33605 What is the matter?"
33605What time did that aviator fellow say he would show up?
33605What was the last you saw of the jewels?
33605What''s the matter with Number Six?
33605What''s the trouble?
33605What? 33605 Where are you going?"
33605Where has the thing been?
33605Where is that young scamp? 33605 Why is it so late?"
33605Why not send it by wireless?
33605Why on earth should the thief want to return the wallet? 33605 Why, Morgan, whatever are you doing here?"
33605Why, Peggy, what is the matter with you? 33605 Why, what are you talking about?"
33605Why, what do you know about it?
33605Why, what ever brings you here?
33605Why?
33605Wonder where that girl went to on her tryout spin?
33605Would I?
33605Would n''t Roy like to go in the aeroplane?
33605Would what? 33605 Would you like to try a little flight, Jeff?"
33605Yes, and she''s pretty as a picture, too,put in Gid Gibbons;"guess you were stuck on her once, were n''t you, Fan?"
33605Yes, but how? 33605 Yes, but what?
33605Yes, do n''t I make a nice one?
33605Yes, very fine talk, but what can you do?
33605Yes, where is he? 33605 You chaps are nervous as kittens,"he was saying,"who on earth would come to this island?
33605You have no idea who the men were?
33605You really mean that, Fanning?
33605You would, eh?
33605You''ll promise no harm will come to me or my father through this?
33605You''re not, eh? 33605 You''ve got auctioneering, the Supreme Court and war times, mixed up a bit, have n''t you?"
33605After all, they were true;"what could he do?"
33605After some more conversation the group was about to break up, when Jess exclaimed suddenly:"Oh, by the way, did you hear about Jeff Stokes?
33605And how about inviting us all to have some of those strawberries Pop and I noticed as we came down the path?"
33605And now having expended a wicked sum for the engine of this flying thing where do you expect to reap your profit?"
33605Are we in any very serious danger?"
33605At last he spoke:"I understand that you have built an aeroplane which is a success?"
33605Beasley?"
33605Bell?"
33605But how was he to proceed to make money with his knowledge?
33605But if he did why would he place that wallet on the porch of Jess''s home?"
33605But not too old for Peter and I to have many happy days together yet, eh, Peter?"
33605But that contest is not to come off for more than a month and-- and supposing someone should have a better machine than you?"
33605But that does n''t matter, for you wear goggles and a helmet in driving that thing, anyway, do n''t you?"
33605But who is the old gentleman?"
33605But''as yer''ad han h''accident?"
33605Can you do it for her right away?"
33605Can you hold on for a time?"
33605Come now, do n''t you recognize me?"
33605Do n''t you read every day in the papers about girls and women making almost as good flights as the men?
33605Do you think we could?"
33605For instance, who would know that you had valuables in the car?"
33605Got the files?"
33605Has every place been searched thoroughly?"
33605Have found it?"
33605Have you a comfortable chair, miss?
33605He practically made it his life work, you see, and----""And you beggared yourself carrying those ideas out, eh?"
33605He----""Oh, you mean to imply that I do, eh?"
33605How do I know where he is?"
33605How do you account for it?"
33605How do you know he has n''t gone off with those jewels?"
33605How does the offer strike you?"
33605I do n''t want anything to do with you, do you understand?
33605I''ll bet----""How dare you?"
33605If the Golden Butterfly can win that prize----""By Jove, sis, it''s five thousand dollars, is n''t it?"
33605Is n''t it, Fred?"
33605Maybe we can make that?"
33605Morgan and Giles----""What, Morgan and Giles were there?"
33605Now who could have stolen the wallet in that time?"
33605Now, are you on?"
33605Right, ai n''t I?"
33605Roy, where are you?"
33605That one by the clump of woods round the bend in the road?"
33605There was the gold all right, but how was I to get it out?"
33605There, what do you think of that?"
33605We can make it?"
33605What business could this old man-- in some respects a power financially and otherwise in Sandy Beach-- have with their aunt?
33605What could it be?
33605What did that mean?
33605What had become of them?
33605What had been his mission there?
33605What has happened?"
33605What if nobody heard him and he was compelled to remain at the bottom of the old well?
33605What if she were dead?
33605What of it?"
33605What was he trying to conceal?
33605What''s it about?"
33605What''s the trouble?"
33605What, then, could have become of the jewel case?
33605Whatever do you want one for?"
33605Whatever kind of a game of bluff has Fanning Harding been playing?"
33605Where could such a man as Gid Gibbons be getting such large amounts of money as he seemed to have recently?
33605Where could they be taking him?
33605Where is Jimsy?"
33605Who could it be?
33605Why do n''t you take that rod there?
33605Why, I think----Why, whatever was that?"
33605Why, ca n''t you see that the very first thing that happens is a chance to win$ 5,000?"
33605Will one of you help me catch old Dobbin and harness him?
33605Wo n''t she be pleased?"
33605Wonder if it''s true?"
33605Would it arrive in time to participate in the start and thus qualify?
33605Would it have been possible for Fanning to enter the field while they lay unconscious there?
33605Would the occupant of the aeroplane see his frantic signals?
33605You have n''t got a revolver with you, have you?"
33605You say you want a third?
33605asked Fanning with a sudden accession of interest;"then he ca n''t race to- day, can he?"
33605asked the other;"do you know where my brother is?"
33605cried his aunt, admiringly,"do you think you''ll be able to get a position?"
33605echoed Peggy,"and nobody knows how it came there?"
33605echoed the youth;"will a duck swim?"
33605exclaimed Peggy to herself,"what shall I do?"
33605exclaimed the boy, as he scanned the news- sheet,"why this is just what we were wishing for, is n''t it?
33605she cried triumphantly,"as good a sky pilot as you are, Roy?"
33605where are you?"
33605you indefinite person?"
33605young folks, what''s the trouble?
46656About Smith-- the mail flyer?
46656Alone?
46656And was it you who flew over in the helicopter, out of the swamp, and tried to drive us out of control with rockets?
46656And what did I do that for?
46656And what did I get to guard us against spooks?
46656And what of it?
46656And what was''what?''
46656And you found it, in a pilots''locker-- whose?
46656Are you just doing it to try and save this mail flyer?
46656Besides a drawing of an airplane-- what could it be, I wonder?
46656But how could he get away?
46656But how do you know?
46656But how does that help?
46656But what about the map?
46656But what did he use it for-- and how did he use it?
46656But what is a helicopter doing over the swamp?
46656But who can they be after?
46656But why should he hide it in the swamp, and need it at all? 46656 But-- was that still the shadow of the spook''plane, that I just saw?"
46656C- can''t you-- Scott, ca n''t you t- turn and go out on the bay?
46656Ca n''t Garry and Chick go along?
46656Called himself Morgan-- let''s see----"''Doc''Morgan?
46656Can he climb away in time?
46656Can you lift me up, make a''back''for me, do you think?
46656Can you?
46656Clever, is n''t it?
46656Could n''t he?
46656Did he say who was calling?
46656Did you ever fly a helicopter before?
46656Did you find anybody-- see anything?
46656Did you hear a shout?
46656Did you notice how that Thing looked while Chick''s flare burned?
46656Did you telephone-- and get the answer we expected?
46656Do n''t you think this''A''and the figure''one''might help?
46656Do you happen to recall that pirates used to sail in brigantines, and such- like ships? 46656 Do you see how taking this tracing fits in with the spectre in the sky?"
46656Do you suppose it could be help-- for us?
46656Do you?
46656Doc, you''re pretty interested in that, are n''t you? 46656 Doc-- Mr. Vance-- has anything been done about the Dart?"
46656Does that helicopter have anything to do with the mystery?
46656Ever read the''Proceedings''and other books of the Society for Psychical Research?
46656Feel all good?
46656Garry!--where did Chick go?
46656Get him?
46656Going back?
46656Has Doc come back?
46656Have you any other clues? 46656 How about another test, from the inner end of the roll?"
46656How about doing this?
46656How about it, Garry? 46656 How about some football tactics?"
46656How can it help that I know about streamlining the body, and the struts, and even the flying wires?
46656How can you say you are n''t a traitor?
46656How did he know?
46656How did you know I had troubles?
46656How do you know?
46656How was he''all wrong?''
46656How was that so''wrong?''
46656How?
46656I can tell you that you will be getting close to trouble if you start accusing me----"What''s all the excitement this time?
46656I can-- but how does Scott pick up the mail?
46656I have-- but how did you know that?
46656I suppose you think he''d have everything standing right out for everybody to see?
46656I wonder what for?
46656I''m glad you came, after all-- aren''t you?
46656If it is n''t an airplane-- what is it?
46656In that queer light, and with your minds keyed up to expect something----"But how would it help if that did explain the spook tonight? 46656 Is it one mystery-- or two?"
46656Is that so?
46656Is there a place near where they can take care of this pilot?
46656It was just put in the fixing bath-- how do you know the fumes of the chemicals in the smoke bomb did n''t ruin it-- stain it or fog it?
46656John,asked Garry,"what do these mean?
46656Mr. Tew, did you see anything-- hear anything?
46656Notice anything odd about it?
46656Now-- how?
46656Old Ti- O- Ga? 46656 One thing?
46656Or the blue- print Chick made-- that had some sort of complicated figures on it--"Where is it-- where is either one?
46656See anything, Garry? 46656 Sort of spooky, hey?
46656Sup-- supposing it is n''t a h- human being?
46656Suppose that hair- brained nephew of yours decides to''put on his act''just as it is coming in?
46656Then how did you know, Garry? 46656 Think we can make it?"
46656Un-- film that has n''t been exposed?
46656Was it sheet lightning?
46656Was that a step?
46656Well, now, you do, do you? 46656 Well, then-- where shall we look next?"
46656What are you doing that for?
46656What did they decide?
46656What did you do about it?
46656What did you find?
46656What did you mean by saying you thought we were the ones who had stolen a map?
46656What did you mean by throwing that smoke flare in on us?
46656What did you tell him?
46656What do you want this crate for, then? 46656 What had he lost?
46656What happened?
46656What has happened on four successive Friday nights, around Mystery Airport?
46656What has struck you?
46656What have you got in the way of evidence, clues or proofs?
46656What in the world?
46656What made you blow out the lantern?
46656What morning is this?
46656What of it?
46656What was I to do with it?
46656What will we find on the ground?
46656What''s going on?
46656What''s it all about?
46656What''s that, you got there?
46656What''s that?
46656What''s the matter?
46656What''s this?
46656Where are we?
46656Where is it coming from?
46656Where you think you find?
46656Where? 46656 White wings or red?"
46656Who was he?
46656Who was that?
46656Who would know better than a Morgan?
46656Who''ll go with me?
46656Who''s there?
46656Why did he have only the least important plan-- the sketch? 46656 Why do n''t you tell him to dive?"
46656Why not come up in the Dragonfly, and let Don fly the Dart, too?
46656Why not try again?
46656Why?
46656Why?
46656Why?
46656Why?
46656Will red wings get away from white wings?
46656Wo n''t the idiot ever give up?
46656Would n''t it be odd if my study of airplane design had some good effect in clearing up our mysteries?
46656Yes-- and there''s a man''s shout-- hear him?
46656Yes-- and what was last night?
46656You and Don got lost, did n''t you?
46656You do? 46656 You feel like walk?"
46656You find?
46656You know what sort of crime that is? 46656 You like rest?"
46656You mean by showing what we had clipped out of the film?
46656You mean-- Smith?
46656And how could your father help him locate anything?"
46656And the other ships-- had they dived, fallen?
46656And what for?
46656And with that he added a third mystery-- or did n''t he?
46656Besides-- where will we get the light?"
46656But how-- and by whom?"
46656But one thing Mother did tell us--""What?"
46656But what was he doing there, in the supposably untenanted boat shack?
46656But where does he get his light?"
46656But where is the control room crew, and the hangar man, and Doc, and-- Chick?"
46656But-- that old one is smart-- only--- why would they haunt the swamp, around here?
46656CHAPTER IX ONE MYSTERY-- OR TWO?
46656Ca n''t Don take her aloft?
46656Ca n''t he fly the mail?"
46656Chick bent down,"''Doc''--are you hurt?"
46656Did n''t the culprit walk into the trap?"
46656Did they echo with such caution because they belonged to a guilty body?
46656Did you recover-- the film?"
46656Don, will you and Garry help me to my boarding place?
46656For what?
46656For what?"
46656Garry pushed past the crowd assembling around Don and Chick,"Don, do you hear what they''re saying in the crowd?"
46656Had Vance made up all that story?
46656Had it been forced to settle there?
46656Had someone picked the lock?
46656Had something struck the hovel?
46656Had the"other man"come?
46656He had cheated, falsified his errand, imposed on my mother''s good nature----""Just a minute,"Scott broke in,"who told you he was coming in?"
46656He had it under some other papers----""Was he sure he remembered just how it had been left?"
46656He said he was a mail pilot, and he gave the name----""What?"
46656He would n''t want other pilots coming along to catch him flying to and fro-- but, at that-- how would he know what to look for-- and where?"
46656How about it?"
46656How about the shadow?"
46656How does he know anything, and what does old Ti know?"
46656How''d you get them?"
46656How, he proposed, could a man in a helicopter throw a picture on a cloud without being seen?
46656I do n''t suppose you searched the boathouse thoroughly-- or the helicopter, maybe?"
46656I guess it got mixed up with the regular stuff and was brought in here-- but how did it get to the swamps?"
46656If so, he thought, for what purpose?
46656In any maneuver they could execute, Don wondered, what would that Thing do?
46656In the name of all- possessed, though, who would of come up through my trap door with oilskins and green rubber gloves and a bathing cap on?
46656Is that so?"
46656It do n''t mean a thing, does it?"
46656Let''s have a look, what do you say?"
46656Let''s see it again, eh?"
46656Now, I like spooks!---""Yes?"
46656Or, Don wondered, was Chick himself in danger?
46656Or, were they but the phantoms of over- stimulated imagination?
46656Or-- did someone keep it there?
46656See how the shore curves in and out-- and the beginnings of Crab Channel and the other smaller inlets?"
46656Should he go back, or go on and get the blue- print?
46656Showing a light-- who are you?"
46656The Indian!--had he put something in the cocoa?
46656The airport?
46656Then you saw it?"
46656They ought to be kept in a locker, anyway-- like the others----""What others?"
46656Want to know what I dug up?"
46656Was it he who had played ghost?
46656Was that queerly disguised tracery of lines more than an airplane design?
46656Were they hesitating?
46656What are the other two doing?"
46656What are you doing in my boathouse?"
46656What did he want to find?
46656What is it-- besides a sketch of a new aircraft?"
46656What made you turn on us?"
46656What proved you did n''t project it?"
46656What shall we do?"
46656What then?
46656What were you doing at the airport, just before the film was stolen from our young friends?
46656What''s that, Doc?"
46656What''s to prove this is a picture of our swamp?
46656When do you''spring''the advertising part, eh, Toby?"
46656Where are the others?"
46656Where did that searchlight beam come from?
46656Where had the mystery ship gone?
46656Where''s the Dart?"
46656Which one?"
46656Who could be so mean?
46656Who had it?
46656Who''s in there?"
46656Why had that coppery face shown astonishment?
46656Why was it there at all?
46656Why?
46656Wo n''t the steamship company give us another trial?"
46656Would n''t that be awful?"
46656Would there be a crash?
46656You do n''t say?
46656You got it back, anyhow, so what''s the odds how it went?
46656You sleep, huh?"
46656You think you read that traced chart?
46656croaked the figure,"who else?"
46656he asked himself,"or what can I make of wing- taper, and camber, and all that?"
46656he exclaimed to himself,"I wonder if there are any more of those plans in the drawer of that table?
46656he wondered,"and where did it come from?"
46656muttered Don,"did you see what I saw?"
52397''Where else could these coins have come from?'' 52397 ''Where in the world did they come from?''
52397A S. and W., eh?
52397All right, Archie?
52397And I shall escape the arm of the_ feringhi_ law?
52397And if I am?
52397And so your sister''s going to spend the winter at Nassau, for her health, eh? 52397 Another snake in it, Burton?"
52397Anything in the bag, Archie?
52397Are they any graver,asked Matt,"than the charges you made against Carl?"
52397Are you going to stop and put back after him?
52397Are you sorry you did it?
52397Are you subject to attacks like that?
52397Are you trying to bulldoze me?
52397Burra Burton ca n''t give me a job in the big show?
52397Burton,and he leveled a quick gaze at the showman,"are you going to let this upstart come in here and insult me?"
52397But what good is it going to do me to tell you all this?
52397But what the nation is he coming with?
52397Can you prove it to me?
52397Dark skinned man in a turban?
52397Den Modor Matt don''d haf to vork four veeks for nodding, schust for me?
52397Den for vy he shleep in der ganvas wagon ven you tell him to drail der Hintoo?
52397Dhondaram?
52397Did it bite any one in the crowd?
52397Did n''t he tell you that? 52397 Did that infernal scoundrel tell you all this?"
52397Did you hunt for the fellow?
52397Did you see any one near the wagons when you led the ticket man in between them?
52397Did you see it, McGlory?
52397Did you see that snake come out of it and crawl up onto the lower plane? 52397 Did you see who did it?
52397Do n''t know?
52397Do n''t you know any better than to fool with that big lump of iniquity?
52397Do n''t you think he was telling the truth, pard?
52397Do you mean to say,asked Carter, rising up on the blanket,"that I was n''t knocked down?"
52397Do you see anything wrong with the machine?
52397Do you want a job as Rajah''s_ mahout_?
52397Does he look like a Hindoo?
52397Feeling all right now?
52397For vy iss dot?
52397For vy you cut loose from me, hey?
52397Furthermore,proceeded Matt,"if Carl is one of the thieves, or the only thief, why did he come in here at all?
52397Go ahead,said Matt, leaning back against one of the calliope wheels;"what about Carl?"
52397Got it now?
52397Had Motor Matt the power to do this when he saved Haidee?
52397Have you brought the basket, sahib?
52397Have you seen anything of Dhondaram lately?
52397Have you seen anything of Ping, Joe?
52397He''s a friend of Motor Matt''s, is n''t he?
52397Hold my basket, sahib?
52397Honk?
52397How did that bag get into his pocket?
52397How did this happen?
52397How do you figure it?
52397How much money did the Dutchman have when he came here this morning?
52397How much money did you have, Andy?
52397How vas dot?
52397How was that?
52397How you like to buy my cane, sahib?
52397How''s that for a double deal?
52397I suppose you''re through with me, now?
52397I vant to know somet''ing,Carl went on,"und dot iss, was I innocend or guildy?
52397I wonder where Andy is?
52397If you come to that, why is n''t there some of the stolen money in the bag? 52397 Innocent or guilty?"
52397Is Ping so grouchy that he''s trying to make people believe Carl''s a thief?
52397Is he square?
52397Is there a bag there?
52397Iss he grazy?
52397It may be,said Dhondaram,"that Burton Sahib has secured another keeper for the bad elephant, Rajah?
52397Know of any one who can handle an elephant?
52397Much of a crowd, Burton?
52397Not bitten?
52397Not exactly the day to worry, eh?
52397Of course I ca n''t work for the show any longer?
52397Oh, do n''t I?
52397Or Aurung Zeeb?
52397Ping told you-- what?
52397Sahib recognize the peg when he find him? 52397 Sick?"
52397So? 52397 Square?"
52397Surprise to you, eh, Motor Matt?
52397The theft of that money was the result of a plot between the Hindoo and Carter here----"And I struck myself in the head and cut my face, eh?
52397The way you fooled the cobra? 52397 Think the weather is shaping up for a gale this afternoon, Joe?"
52397Think you can attend to that?
52397Vat dit I do mit der money oof I took it, hey? 52397 Vat it iss?"
52397Vat''s der odds aboudt der tifference, anyvay?
52397Vere iss der shnake?
52397Was it Rajah?
52397Well, what?
52397What about it, Matt?
52397What ails the blooming motor?
52397What am I to do?
52397What can we do now, pard?
52397What did Ping talk to me like that for?
52397What did the new owner do,the king of the motor boys inquired,"without the peg to keep the basket shut?"
52397What did you do with the snake basket?
52397What did you want to speak with him about?
52397What do you mean, Horton?
52397What do you mean?
52397What do you want the boy for?
52397What else is written in your forehead?
52397What fool would want to buy a thing like that?
52397What had Ben Ali to do with the affair?
52397What had Dhondaram got against the_ Comet_?
52397What happened between the wagons, Carl?
52397What have you done, Carl?
52397What is it, Carl?
52397What kind of a snake tamer are you, anyhow? 52397 What makes you think he might give us a clue?
52397What sort of way is that to come out of a tent, Le Bon?
52397What was the reason?
52397What will we do for somebody to manage Rajah?
52397What''ll you do with Dhondaram?
52397What''s Ping tied up for?
52397What''s all the hurry?
52397What''s on your mind, pard?
52397What''s the Hindoo coming for?
52397What''s the Hindoo trailing you for?
52397What''s the answer?
52397What''s the joke?
52397What''s the matter with McGlory?
52397What''s the matter with you, Dhondaram?
52397What''s the matter, up there?
52397What''s the matter?
52397What''s the notion?
52397What''s to pay?
52397What''s up?
52397What''s wrong with you?
52397What''s your name?
52397What''s your notion about this, pard?
52397Whatee want, Motol Matt?
52397Where did that one come from?
52397Where did you find him?
52397Where did you hide that money?
52397Where were you to meet Dhondaram, and at what time?
52397Where''s Harris?
52397Where''s that confounded Hindoo?
52397Where''s the cobra, Dhondaram?
52397Where''s the money that was stolen this afternoon, Carter?
52397Where''s the money?
52397Who can say, sahib?
52397Who did it?
52397Who helped you steal it?
52397Who vas der feller vat left dot pucket oof vater in der vay?
52397Who''ll take him?
52397Why did n''t Carter see the Dutchman when he came to? 52397 Why did you ask Carter to step in between the wagons, Carl?"
52397Why did you leave the trail? 52397 Why have you brought me here?"
52397Why should n''t you have seen what happened?
52397Why?
52397Why?
52397Wonder just how much that bit of a backset means for us, pard?
52397You Burton Sahib?
52397You admit the whole business, eh, Andy?
52397You can not do this yourself?
52397You can?
52397You did n''t lose the trail?
52397You do n''t intend presenting Burton with our wages for a month, do you?
52397You do n''t mean to say,expostulated Matt,"that you''re going to keep Dhondaram with the show just to take charge of Rajah?"
52397You have lost the niece you called Haidee?
52397You look, see what I can do?
52397You mean that I''d better be watching Dhondaram?
52397You quit following the Hindoo?
52397You saw it?
52397You see what I''ve got? 52397 You want to see me?"
52397You were going to try and ride the elephant in the parade, Carl?
52397You''ll not take any legal action against me?
52397You''ve been taking a snooze, eh?
52397You''ve got to have a reason for everything? 52397 You''ve had enough?"
52397''I did n''t suppose your old brig carried such a cargo, did you?''
52397And did n''t we see him fling out his arm with the snake hanging to his wrist?
52397And why is he staying with the show?"
52397Anything in the bag, McGlory?"
52397Are you good at the job?"
52397Are you ready to drop with the trapeze?"
52397But what was the use of indulging in hope?
52397Ca n''t you think of_ some_ clue, Andy?
52397Did I see the Hindoo when he hitched that bag with the snake to the aëroplane?
52397Did he get Rajah under control again, Burton?"
52397Did n''t you see him?"
52397Did you follow the Hindoo, as I told you?"
52397Did you lose it?"
52397Did you see that?"
52397Did you see the man who knocked Carter down?"
52397Do you follow me?"
52397Do you suppose for a minute that the cobra could hang to Motor Matt''s arm without biting?
52397Do you use the little smokes?
52397Dot''s all aboudt it, und oof I shtole some money, vere it iss, und vy don''d I got it?
52397Eh, Matt?
52397Has he a cause to dislike the bird- wagon?
52397How are you and Ping getting along together?"
52397How could I tell dot?"
52397How did it get there?"
52397How do you account for that if, as you say, you were struck from behind?"
52397How he died, and his wife perished in the_ ghats_, by_ suttee_?
52397How iss dot, bard?"
52397How many could have kept their wits in such a situation?
52397How mooch you gif me oof I findt der t''ieves und recofer der money?
52397How our sister married the_ feringhi_, Captain Lionel Manners, of the English army?
52397How we traveled with the show of Burton Sahib?"
52397How well do I watch things?
52397How''s Le Bon?"
52397How, out of hatred to the rajah, I brought the girl to this country and destroyed her will by the power of the eyes?
52397Huh?"
52397If he really stole the money, who helped him?
52397If that''s the case, why was n''t your Dutch pard in the plot, too?"
52397Is it the one you got from the Dutchman?"
52397It is permitted?
52397It is permitted?"
52397It''s about time we all turned in, do n''t you think?"
52397Just drop this business, right here?"
52397Luck''s on our side after all, eh?"
52397Of the daughter they left, Margaret Manners?
52397Or why did n''t the Dutchman see Carter, if he got back his wits first?"
52397Page 17, changed?
52397Suppose you would have to come back here to testify against the Hindoo?
52397Tell me, do you know a countryman of yours named Ben Ali?"
52397Und ven dit I take it, und vere it vas?
52397Understand?
52397Vat I tell you ven ve vas at subber, hey?
52397Vat iss to be dit mit der Hintoo?"
52397Vat you say, Misder Purton?"
52397Well,"and he threw a look at Burton, chagrined but defiant,"what are you going to do about it?"
52397What am I to do?
52397What are you givin''us?"
52397What are you going to do now?"
52397What caused him to make such a dead set at this flying machine the moment you dropped off his back?"
52397What did you do it for?"
52397What do you say, Matt?"
52397What do you take me for?"
52397What gave you the idea he was crooked?"
52397What time is it, Burton?"
52397What was the bag?
52397What would the new owner do with the serpent unless he had the place to keep him?
52397What''s become of Ping, McGlory?"
52397What''s happened to you?"
52397What''s his reason for actin''like that?"
52397What''s that bag hanging under the wing for?"
52397What''s the answer?"
52397What''s the harm?"
52397What''s the use of trying to do anything with them?
52397Where did you come from?"
52397Where did you nab the Hindoo?
52397Where you pick it up, sahib?"
52397Where''s a doctor?"
52397Who did it, Carter?"
52397Who is your enemy, Aurung Zeeb?"
52397Why did n''t he make a run of it as soon as he got his hands on the money?"
52397Why should he keep the bag, and then come in here with it in his pocket?"
52397Why?
52397Why?"
52397You ask me the reason our brave young friend is in a normal condition?
52397You knew of my brother, the rajah?
52397You''re the manager of this show, are you?"
52397the cowboy asked himself, and how did it chance to be swinging there?
15773A mile a minute, what?
15773A visitor this time of day? 15773 Across ze sea?"
15773Ah, but you see, Mother, he hasn''t--"Has n''t what-- Fifteen two, fifteen four-- Well, Kate?
15773All the stuff onboard?
15773And how often has it broken down?
15773And the Reds, sir?
15773And what''s this horrible smell? 15773 Any explanation?"
15773Any petrol to be got here?
15773Are you hurt, Roddy?
15773Are you pulling my leg, now?
15773Are you quite comfortable, Miss Bunce?
15773But I may have a cup of tea?
15773But do you know how far it is? 15773 But how did you know I had gone out to the Solomons?"
15773But now, how do we stand? 15773 But now, what''s it all mean, you beggar?
15773But what about the petrol?
15773But you, Charley?
15773But, hang it all, Mary, do you understand what it means? 15773 But-- I do n''t understand-- mid- ocean-- an aeroplane?
15773But-- but-- then you have been_ round the world_, sir-- in_ how_ long?
15773But-- from Port Darwin-- across the sea?
15773Ca n''t you get off in your boats?
15773Come from Sydney?
15773Could n''t we fetch him?
15773D''you want to see a blaze?
15773Did you tell him that Mr. Charley is not at home?
15773Do n''t you see I''ve had an accident?
15773Do n''t you think you had better go to bed, Kate?
15773Do n''t you think you have better give up the idea of returning at once, and come with us? 15773 Do n''t you think, Mr. Smith, you are going a little too far?"
15773Do you mean to tell me, seriously, you have been to the South Pacific?
15773Dry work, ai n''t it?
15773Eh bien, monsieur?
15773Eh, what?
15773Excellence, are we to accept as samples two dozen left- hand gloves? 15773 For Honolulu, sir?"
15773Got it, Roddy?
15773Had n''t we better wait till to- morrow night?
15773Has never been quite so late home on his last night of leave, has he, Mother?
15773Have a banana?
15773Have a sandwich?
15773Have n''t you got a megaphone?
15773Have you got the stuff?
15773Hear what?
15773Hi, boys,called Mr. Martin;"can tell where Ching- Fu keeps?"
15773How are you getting on, Roddy?
15773How d''e do? 15773 How in the world did you know about us?"
15773How much longer, Roddy?
15773How shall we explain to Mother? 15773 How will you go?"
15773How''s that?
15773How_ can_ you sleep when you''re in such terrible danger?
15773I dare say I can,replied the other laughing,"but where do you spring from?
15773I say,said one of the officers,"is your man stuffing us up?
15773I suppose I had better send on your things to the Leslies in the morning?
15773I suppose you''ll wire ahead for petrol to be held ready for you? 15773 In that what- you- may- call- it, sir?"
15773In the aeroplane, you mean?
15773In the-- what?
15773Is it Admiralty business, Charley?
15773Is that a fact? 15773 Is the Director- General here?"
15773Is there anything fresh and frothy on the tape?
15773It took ye a week, I suppose?
15773Jenkinson sahib? 15773 Just receipt your bill, w- will you?
15773Many passengers?
15773My dear chap, are you mad? 15773 Nearly done, Roddy?"
15773Nearly done, Roddy?
15773Not in that machine?
15773Now, old fellow, what is the best you can do for me?
15773Oh, I say, can you speak English?
15773Played the burglar?
15773Rather less, is n''t it?
15773Ready, Roddy?
15773Remember I googlied you for a duck at Lord''s last year?
15773See that, Roddy?
15773Shall we fire at them?
15773Shall we walk down to the sheds? 15773 So soon as that?
15773Sounds simple, do n''t it?
15773Sree sousand miles?
15773Sure you would n''t be after declining to answer a question or two-- to be worked up into an interview, you know?
15773That you, Daventry?
15773That you, Martin?
15773That''s Toronto over yonder?
15773The question is, what are we to do now? 15773 Then our boat did not go down?"
15773There''s no other way, is there?
15773Tigers, eh?
15773To- night, eh?
15773Tout va bien, mademoiselle?
15773Vat is it? 15773 Vous n''avez pas peur?"
15773Was sagt er?
15773Well, Mr.--Jones, is it? 15773 Well, mate,"he said, eyeing Smith curiously by the light of the door lamp;"what can I do for you?"
15773Well, put that right, and hurry up, will you?
15773What are your bearings?
15773What can we do then?
15773What distance, mister,he said,"from here to there-- to the cannibals?"
15773What do ye want, man?
15773What do you mean? 15773 What do you mean?"
15773What do you think of that, Davis?
15773What does he say?
15773What is it, Father?
15773What is this b- b- bill for d- d- damages you speak of?
15773What time do you want to go?
15773What''s that ye were saying?
15773What''s the ha''penny?
15773What''s this, mister?
15773What''s wrong, mister?
15773What''s your little game?
15773What, mister?
15773Where are we?
15773Where are we?
15773Where did you get that old rattler?
15773Where is Mr. Jenkinson''s godown?
15773Where''s it to be taken, sir?
15773Where''s the fleet? 15773 Where?"
15773Who are you?
15773Who are you?
15773Who is he, Betts?
15773Why are you so restless to- night, Kate?
15773Why_ do_ you pretend so?
15773Yes; chocolate, bovril, the whole boiling; but--"And the maps?
15773You are sure you are not hurt much?
15773You do n''t say so?
15773You got a cable from London ordering eighty gallons of petrol to be held ready for Lieutenant Smith?
15773You have heard from Charley?
15773You really mean it, then?
15773You there, Daniels? 15773 You there, Kate?
15773You think we ca n''t hope for relief?
15773You will try to send help to Father?
15773You will, will you?
15773You wish to see my brother?
15773You''ll forgive my presumption?
15773You''ll look after my gal, sir?
15773You''re sure we can rely on you?
15773You''re two hours in advance of it, are n''t you?
15773Your name''s not Smith?
15773Your name, sir, is Lieutenant Smith?
15773A clean shave, mister, hein?"
15773After the interval usual in trunk calls, he began--"That you, Billy?
15773All ready, Roddy?"
15773An earthquake?"
15773And there, far in the west, what is that?
15773And what about getting back?"
15773Are n''t you very tired?"
15773Are you Lieutenant Smith, may I ask?"
15773Are you off to reorganize the Turkish navy or something?"
15773Are you policing these seas?"
15773Are you ready?"
15773As yet he had been flying for only three hours: could he live through seven days of it?
15773Besides, we might have to go a long way, and how could we find our way back again?"
15773Bring him to the''phone to take a note.... That you, Davis?
15773But is it safe?
15773But surely she will be there before you?"
15773But why did n''t we get it before, man?
15773By the b- bye, Mr. Smith did n''t pay you anything on account?"
15773By the way, Kate, I suppose nothing of importance has come for me?"
15773By the way, can you lend me two or three men for half- an- hour or so at five shillings an hour?"
15773By the way, will you ask Daventry, in case I forget it, to send a cable to my sister to say that I''m all right?"
15773Can you describe the spot?"
15773Can you give me an hour or two?...
15773Can you provide them at such short notice?"
15773Can you tell me the latitude and longitude of this place?"
15773Come to my room in ten minutes, will you?
15773Could you cable me to the address in Constantinople the names of firms at those places?"
15773D''you mean to say you''ve come pretty near two thousand five hundred miles to- day?"
15773Day''s work done?"
15773De quoi mêlez- vous?
15773Did n''t you see it or hear it?"
15773Do you really mean to say you''ve got here in eight hours from London?"
15773Do you see him?"
15773Eight hours''run; a record, is n''t it?
15773Finished, Roddy?"
15773For vy should I take oil for a motor- boat up country?
15773Get out a special edition at once.... Where''s Davis?
15773Go straight on, stranger; you see that constable there?
15773Had any trouble?"
15773Had some rival appeared on the scene at the very moment when he saw the crown of his long toil?
15773Had they been enticed forth by the savages?
15773Has not the administration of the French Republic arranged it?
15773Have n''t you heard about it?"
15773Have you got yesterday''s paper, Kate?"
15773Have you heard from Charley lately?"
15773Have you?"
15773Hawley, d''you mind getting your men to clear the course?
15773He cleared his throat,"If I med make so bold, sir, meanin''no offence--""What n- now?"
15773He hesitated; should he go back?
15773How are you?
15773How did you come to be by the Andamans?
15773How does that strike you, Roddy?"
15773How far have we to go?"
15773How far is it across the Atlantic?"
15773Hullo, Jenkins, what''s the matter?"
15773I ca n''t make a name in geology, but why should n''t I go down to posterity as the first man to fly round the world?"
15773I hoped to make Apia; that is it, yonder, I suppose?"
15773I suppose I can get some petrol somewhere about here?"
15773I suppose it''s for a motor- boat you want it?
15773I''m not often surprised, but-- what are you grinning at?"
15773Is it your opinion, now, that we''ll have a war in the air one of these days?"
15773Is this the Admiralty''s latest?"
15773Is your aeroplane outside, old man?"
15773It''s nearly two thousand miles from here to Ysabel Island, I think?"
15773Know you not that I-- oui, moi qui vous parle-- have alone the right of entry into this_ tell_?
15773M- m- my name?
15773McWhirter?"
15773Mr. Smith wo n''t do it quite so quick-- not this journey, at any rate-- but who knows what these young scientific fellows will be a- doing of next?
15773No names again?"
15773Now can you get the captain to clear the course for me?"
15773Now shall we go?"
15773Now, is there anything I can do for you before you go?"
15773Nuisance having to change again, is n''t it?"
15773Of course it''s a different matter to keep it up for days on end, but how long have you had your motor- car?"
15773Over the sea?"
15773Petrol, is it?
15773Pond?"
15773Qu''importe?"
15773Raising himself, and dashing the clinging hay wisps from his face, he shouted--"Is she smashed, Roddy?"
15773Say, what''s up?"
15773Smith?"
15773Smoke, or a cloud?
15773Suppose you_ do_ come down; what then?"
15773Take a wee drappie?
15773That all right?...
15773The chief difficulty is that we do n''t know the exact direction of their camp, but why should n''t I go out to- night and locate it?"
15773The people do not speak French, I suppose?"
15773The spectators held their breath: could she live out the storm?
15773There be summat to wet our whistles on to- night, eh, men?"
15773There''s some ordered by wire from a man named Benzonana; can you put me in the way of getting it quickly?"
15773They must be one or other of the opposing fleets, either the Reds or the Blues; but which?
15773This was written nearly five thousand years ago; what is the aeroplane, a thing of yesterday, in comparison with this glorious relic of antiquity?"
15773Was it possible that they were making reprisals on the enemy who had previously attacked them?
15773Was there any use in struggling further?
15773Well, now, is there a smith in the village?
15773Well, now, what will your best course be?"
15773What about your man, by the way?"
15773What aeroplane?"
15773What chance was there in this dense forest of finding what he sought?
15773What do you call that vessel of yours?"
15773What had we better do?"
15773What have I to do with aeroplanes?
15773What in the world are you after?"
15773What is it this time?"
15773What is that?"
15773What is your friend''s hurry?"
15773What''s the amount of your b- b- bill?"
15773What''s the matter?"
15773What''s your name, mister?"
15773What''s your speed?"
15773What?"
15773What?...
15773When are you due back?"
15773When do you think you will get there?"
15773Where did you come from?"
15773Where do you hail from?"
15773Where is it?"
15773Where shall I find you in Penang, sir, if I get there safe?"
15773Whereabouts was the wreck, sir?"
15773Who are you?
15773Who are you?"
15773Who are you?"
15773Who are you?"
15773Who knew if they would have strength or sanity for the task after another sweltering day?
15773Why had the party left their fort?
15773Why should you imperil your life, perhaps in vain?"
15773Why, I suppose you''ve had no breakfast?"
15773Why?"
15773Why?"
15773Will you send a wire to Barracombe for me, Johnson?
15773Withdraw: yes, certainly, at the quickest possible: but how?
15773Would you mind running down to the shed and-- cleaning the engine?"
15773Yes, I know my time''s up: I''ll renew.--You there, Billy?
15773Yet why was the fort deserted?
15773You always read the Mater''s letters to her, do n''t you?
15773You are playing games vid me?"
15773You can tell me where to get what I want?"
15773You did n''t get my telegram, then?
15773You do n''t suppose I came down here on purpose?
15773You have come all the way from London since Friday morning?"
15773You know Charley Smith?
15773You know what I mean: a blacksmith, a man who makes iron things?"
15773You know your room?"
15773You wo n''t forget?"
15773You wo n''t mind me ringing up a few particular friends, and inviting them out to see you?"
15773You''d like a wash, eh?
15773You''ll manage it?
15773are you there?...
15773exclaimed Mr. Daventry;"what have you been doing to yourself, Smith?"
15773when did you start?
10599''Oo cares for the bloomin''''eathen? 10599 A tiger in the Arctic?"
10599A tiger?
10599A wolf?
10599All life belts on?
10599And the Province, the Red Riders?
10599And the company?
10599And you got the wheat from them?
10599Any heirs?
10599Are all prisons up here made of ivory inlaid with gold?
10599Are you hurt?
10599Believe it''s that seal- fishery business?
10599But I say,ejaculated Barney,"you can stow the remains of our plane somewhere below, ca n''t you?"
10599But how much do you really know about airplanes?
10599But the ensign?
10599But the wheat?
10599But what would his pal have to do with it?
10599Can we do it?
10599Can you understand their jargon?
10599D''y''see it, lad?
10599D''y''see it? 10599 D''y''see''i m?"
10599Dead?
10599Did y''see that?
10599Did you fellows wake up last night?
10599Did you get it?
10599Do n''t see anything down there in the ruins, do you?
10599Do n''t we start for the Pole at once?
10599Do you remember the obstacle- races they used to have at county fairs when you were a boy?
10599Do you_ know_ her?
10599Fer if ye be,continued the man,"ye''s be keepin''a lookout fer Timmie noo, would n''t ye though?"
10599Four or five days? 10599 Going back?
10599Going back?
10599Have we any extra steel plate?
10599Have you gone due south by west instead of north by west?
10599Heirs? 10599 How are we going to tell that schooner when we see it?"
10599How did that happen?
10599How?
10599I wonder?
10599Ice beneath the ocean? 10599 Is-- is that true?"
10599Kill''em?
10599La Vaune?
10599Landed?
10599Looks like the bones of a man?
10599Make of it?
10599Meat?
10599Might I ask the nature of your proposed trip?
10599Now I suppose the remaining questions are: Will you be at liberty to take up aviation again and-- do you want to?
10599Now, why did n''t you say''Yes''on the spot?
10599Ow is she?
10599Pardon me,interrupted the Major,"but were some of the reindeer white?"
10599Rainey, get my case from the locker, will you?
10599Return?
10599Rifles?
10599Say, you do n''t suppose,exclaimed Barney that night at supper--"you remember those awful wide planes of the Major''s?
10599See what?
10599Shall we attempt to go on or turn back?
10599Speaking of rewards,said the Major quickly,"how about that ten thousand which comes to some of us?
10599Tell me,Jarvis whispered,"do my h''old h''eyes deceive me, or h''is there a line of dark h''over t''th''right of y''?"
10599That explains why we circled three times during our first day''s flight? 10599 That money?"
10599The logging company?
10599The question?
10599The stuff-- blankets, grub and the like, yes, but--Barney smiled in spite of himself--"why the plane?
10599Then what''s happened?
10599Then you did n''t see it?
10599Think we can save him?
10599Tiger?
10599Timmie? 10599 Too close ashore?"
10599Understand Mill''s grenades?
10599Was he your boy?
10599Well, what then?
10599Well,he asked, when the native had finished,"what do you make of it?"
10599What d''y''think of that?
10599What did I tell you?
10599What do you make of it?
10599What do you suppose they want to know that for?
10599What happened?
10599What happened?
10599What now?
10599What puzzles me is, where''s the remains of the fellow''s generator and wireless?
10599What was that?
10599What were you making?
10599What with?
10599What you doing?
10599What''s all this rumpus?
10599What''s on your mind, Bruce?
10599What''s that tangle above the cliffs there?
10599What''s that?
10599What''s that?
10599What''s the idea?
10599What''s the matter with you?
10599What''s this?
10599What''s up?
10599What? 10599 What?"
10599What?
10599Where can we be?
10599Who ever thought of going to the Pole in a plane through Canada?
10599Who were the three strange- appearing natives who had attacked him and his companion in the jail? 10599 Who''s Timmie?"
10599Who''s he, she, it?
10599Why, what could be fairer?
10599Why? 10599 Will h''I?
10599Will h''I?
10599Will he beat me again?
10599Will she rise again?
10599Wo n''t she be buried in snow?
10599Would you mind letting me know where you are located?
10599Would you mind mentioning my name in the message?
10599Ye''ll pardon an old man''s foolish questions?
10599You are a Canadian, are you not?
10599You do n''t think,said Dave,"that we''d attempt the Pole?"
10599You thought what?
10599You? 10599 A sail? 10599 A thousand times? 10599 Am I right?
10599An''ye''ll be lookin''fer it noo, wo n''t ye?
10599And Timmie?
10599And if they closed, one after the other, more rapidly than the advance of the submarine, what was finally to become of the submarine crew?
10599And if we were to find ourselves in the center of such a vast field of ice with oxygen exhausted, what chance would we have?"
10599And now I wonder-- I just wonder, did they have anything to do with the disappearance of our friend Dave and the engineer?"
10599And the bear, if he were still there?
10599And what was that protruding above what remained of the snow?
10599And where were they going?
10599And why not?
10599Apparently not, for from Bruce through the receiver came a groan, then;"What''s happened?
10599Ar''ye that blind?
10599Are you going back?
10599Are you ready?
10599Are you?"
10599As for houses, did they not have their deerskins and walrus- pelts?
10599Barney''s friend, Dave Tower, who had gone North in a submarine on a mission as mysterious as their own; would they ever meet?
10599Bruce exclaimed,"would n''t it be great to take packs, rifles and mosquito- bar netting and go hunting that fellow in that Northern wilderness?"
10599But Jarvis?
10599But honest, does n''t he look natural standing there in the ice?"
10599But how was that stretch of tumbled icefloe to be crossed?
10599But the plane?
10599But twelve years?
10599But what else could it have been?
10599But what was this that reached his ears?
10599But what was this?
10599But what was this?
10599But what was this?
10599But what was to be done?
10599But why freight the junk?
10599But, after all, what good does a big expedition do?
10599But, as for this present journey, you are perhaps aware that an illegal wireless station has been operating somewhere in these woods and hills?"
10599But, for that matter, who would even dream of a wolf large enough to carry off a two hundred pound deer?"
10599But-- where were they?
10599Ca n''t be a whale up here, can it?"
10599Ca n''t ye see''ow th''thing''d work?"
10599Ca n''t ye see''ow they do n''t want the h''Americans or th''Roosians to git t''the treasure of this peninsula?
10599Charting Northeast Passage?
10599Could he play the part of the mole, as the tiger was sure to play the part of the cat?
10599Could it be only a bit of bent timber lodged there on the log- roof of a long- abandoned Indian shack?
10599Could it be possible they had seized the submarine and deserted the party for the sake of gain to themselves?
10599Could it have been an Indian dressed in white, tanned deerskin?
10599Dave, who had been studying the shore with the glass, handed it to Jarvis:"Do you see something like a village?"
10599Dave, who knew that the old seaman was acquainted with several native dialects, said:"What do you make of it?"
10599Did he see shadows flitting across the ice?
10599Did he sense the dark shadow which always presaged open water?
10599Did they see dark figures dancing about the ruins?
10599Did you shoot him?"
10599Do n''t ye know all the time the three rascals we well- nigh killed was Japs?
10599Do n''t you suppose that solves the problem of Peary''s white reindeer?"
10599Do n''t you think-- think, he and I might manage the sub for you-- your trip?"
10599Eat?
10599For a second he hesitated; should he return and call his companions, or should he attempt to anchor the plane, temporarily at least, unaided?
10599Four or five, did you say?
10599Going back, did y''say?
10599Going to quit construction here and use planes the rest of the way?
10599Had he really been misdirected by the compass on the plane?
10599Had some Indian tribe taken to farming?
10599Had the cold benumbed his senses?
10599Hae ye never hearn o''Timmie?
10599How did they chance to have a jail at all?
10599How did they happen to have such a strange jail?
10599How did you come?
10599How had he fared?
10599How had he lived?
10599How long will it take to complete the repairs?"
10599How many more times would he do this?
10599How was it to be done?
10599If so, who was the person whose bones lay in the ruins?
10599If the Major''s suppositions were correct; if, indeed, this trader was the hired agent of a fanatical clan, would he not be armed and on the alert?
10599If the ice did not pile when the floes came together, why was it?
10599If they wandered this far, might they not easily have gone on to the other side of the continent?"
10599In another moment the crew found themselves outside clinging to the tilted and unsteady craft, blinking in the sunlight, and seeing--?
10599No one had a ready answer, and at last the Doctor spoke again:"In the meantime, what are we going to do about it?
10599No one would be coming up here for a high altitude test, would he?"
10599North Pole?
10599Now he shouted through the telephone to Barney;"What''ll I do if I catch a square of light below?"
10599Or was it-- was it what he knew Bruce hoped it might be-- a supply- house for gasoline, or perhaps a motor- boat with a supply of gasoline on board?
10599Or, what if it had been abandoned?
10599Rope- handed spiking hammers or pick- axes?"
10599Russian gold?
10599So if ye''ll be goin''to the woods ye''ll be watchin''noo, wo n''t ye?"
10599So then I have the good fortune to be speaking to the very man I seek?"
10599So they walked the ridge and had passed the willow clump, when Rainey gripped his companion''s arm, whispering:"What''s that down there to the right?
10599So why not up here?"
10599Suddenly the old engineer started:"Did you see''i m?"
10599The Major and Bruce; had they been blown into eternity?
10599The Pole; you do n''t suppose he''d try it?"
10599The only question in his optimistic young mind was, which would arrive first?
10599The sun soon set and a long night began, but what of that?
10599The wireless station offers an excuse, do n''t you see?"
10599Then Bruce voiced their thoughts:"Do you suppose this Major What- you- may- call- him is bringing up his plane for some commission like that?"
10599Then, with a smile, he said briskly:"Of course, you''ll have breakfast?
10599There was a peculiar twinkle in the Major''s eye, as he asked:"How do you make that out?"
10599There was an eager, questioning look in his kindly eyes, as he said in quaint Scotch accent:"Ye''ll noo be goin''to the woods a''soon?"
10599There''s gold in Russia, on the Kamchatkan peninsula; you know that, do n''t you?"
10599This wheat- field now?
10599To the partners?
10599Took us for a whale, do n''t you see?
10599Was he asleep and dreaming?
10599Was he seeing things?
10599Was the infernal- machine a genuine affair, and if so, would it explode?
10599Was the man who had been accidentally shot the night before the anarchist trader?
10599Was the motor simply dead, or was the propeller gone?
10599Was there much of it to be found?"
10599What are they up to?
10599What awaited them on the surface?
10599What could cause this fright, save the sound and sight of our plane hovering over them?
10599What did it mean if they were successful?
10599What do you suppose that means?"
10599What if the machine- gun jammed?
10599What if this trading station was one of those myths that float down from the North?
10599What of the stranger?
10599What was it that he had just concluded?
10599What was it?
10599What was it?
10599What was that?
10599What was the answer?
10599What weapons do you choose?
10599What were they doing here?
10599What will you do with your twelve hours?"
10599What''s doing now?
10599What''s that out in the center?"
10599What''s the grand idea?"
10599Whence had come the seed wheat?
10599Where did the gold come from that had been used to inlay the ivory?
10599Where did they come from?
10599Where was he?
10599Where?"
10599Who was this Major, anyway?
10599Who''d ever thought of that for a prison?"
10599Who''s in possession of that peninsula at the present time?
10599Why might not Timmie have camped here and planted this wheat?
10599Will you forget your flag and your shipmates for gold?"
10599Will you take the money to the little girl, La Vaune?"
10599Will you take us both?"
10599Wo n''t we, Bruce?"
10599Wolves, grizzlies, some unknown terror, perhaps?
10599Would he not, perhaps, have Indians and half- breeds hired to help guard his secret?
10599Would his companion understand and risk a shot as the tiger prepared for another spring?
10599Would she rise?
10599Would the craft stand the test?
10599Would they ever be able to help him blot the stain from his name?
10599Would they ever return to La Vaune with the money which was rightfully hers?
10599Would they not perish for lack of air?
10599Ye''ll be kenin''the lass thet helps in the boardin''shack where you and the bosses eat?"
10599Yet, here was, after all, another problem: What was this white- coated creature?
10599exclaimed Bruce suddenly,"who''s this Major chap, anyway?
10599exclaimed Dave,"who is this doctor of ours, anyway?"
10599he said, at last,"who''d marvel at that?
10936''Ai n''t much on conversation, be yer?'' 10936 ''Gwan, you fool nigger, don''you know dat dem flying boys an''gals is to be hayr ter- day?"
10936''I''m a peddler,''I explained,''could I get something to eat and a room here for the night?'' 10936 ''Peddler?''
10936''What you tradin''in?'' 10936 ''What you tradin''in?''
10936''Where you going?'' 10936 ''Where''d you come from?''
10936A month''s time?
10936A trip to North Carolina? 10936 Ai n''t you frum the guv- ment?"
10936All right?
10936And how did you solve the problem of what to do with the rest of the summer?
10936And hunt up missing heiresses?
10936And let those kids get away with what they did? 10936 And then?"
10936And what''s that,--lie in hammocks and indulge in ice- cream sodas and chocolates?
10936And what''s that?
10936And why, pray, Roy Prescott?
10936Any idea where the young folks have gone?
10936Anybody been around, Tam?
10936Anybody laughing?
10936Are you good with a shovel?
10936Are you really better?
10936Busted?
10936But how could I go?
10936But how could they know that she was here?
10936But if it did n''t fly, how in tarnation did it git here?
10936But if not?
10936But the guard outside?
10936But what is your plan?
10936But what on earth have two shovels to do with stopping a bunch of kids from entering in an aëroplane race?
10936But who''ll go?
10936But, my dear children, do you realize what such a trip means?
10936But-- but who would drive the car?
10936Ca n''t we stay and help?
10936D''ye think it was stolen?
10936Did n''t say anything else?
10936Did they say they were going to watch all night?
10936Did you have any success with the telephone?
10936Did you see anything? 10936 Do n''t be a goose, Aunt Sally,"comforted Peggy;"do n''t you know that lightning never strikes twice in the same place?"
10936Do n''t know; but he''s all right, depend upon it,said Jimsy cheerfully;"hello, what''s that coming now?"
10936Do you know what happened to that plug, Carlos?
10936Do you think she was stolen from somewhere?
10936Done what?
10936Everything ready?
10936Flap its wings and all that like a burd?
10936Going to tell the girls anything about Kelly and his remarks?
10936Goodness, then you have n''t any right now?
10936Got a mortgage on it, eh?
10936Got any spark plugs?
10936Gracious, are we in for more trouble?
10936Great Scot, what''s happening?
10936Had n''t we better be getting on?
10936Have you any suspicions as to who did it?
10936Have you no other name?
10936Have you telephoned them?
10936How are we going to get out of this?
10936How can you say so? 10936 How do you know?"
10936How does it go anyway?
10936How fast can the engines get back?
10936How is that?
10936How long would it take us to get to Marysville?
10936How much do you think the lease of your field for an hour or so is worth?
10936How much do you want?
10936How was it, Jimsy?
10936How''d you alls get hyar?
10936How''s that?
10936How?
10936I daon''t, hey? 10936 I do n''t know what to do about her,"admitted Peggy;"suppose we ask Aunt Sally?
10936I reckon so, son,grinned the red- faced man, in response to this elegant speech;"now, then, are you going to give up that chair or not?"
10936I wonder where Roy is?
10936If what?
10936In just what way?
10936In just what way?
10936In what way?
10936Is he alive?
10936Is n''t there any fire apparatus near here?
10936Is that so, Mr. Roy Prescott? 10936 Is the window open?"
10936It do n''t never do to be too sure,murmured the melancholy Jake,"''cos why?
10936It''s grand, is n''t it?
10936Jiggered if I know,spoke Jimsy;"ca n''t you or Roy think of anything?"
10936My dear child, do you actually contemplate taking me flying through the air at my time of life?
10936No danger of that,responded Peggy, from the vantage of the tonneau of the car;"but how are you going to rope him?"
10936No; what good would that do? 10936 Nonsense; what harm can he do us anyhow?
10936Notice anything peculiar about it?
10936Now, what''s he trying to do, I wonder?
10936Of course; who else could go?
10936Oh, Peggy, what are you going to do with it?
10936Oh, they did, eh? 10936 Oh, you know me, eh?"
10936On the other hand, how are we to look after her?
10936Peggy Prescott, you mean me?
10936Ready?
10936Remember what?
10936Said nothing about coming back?
10936See here, Jim Bancroft, this wo n''t do,he sharply admonished himself,"you''re on duty, understand?
10936See that sign?
10936So you ai n''t going to stay out?
10936So you''ve been fired, eh?
10936Surely you ca n''t refuse now?
10936Taking a stroll, eh?
10936Tell you what,cried Jimsy suddenly,"what''s the matter with Miss Prescott going along in an automobile?
10936That''s plain enough,struck in Roy;"but how do you propose to do it?"
10936The idea just came to me in a second,explained Roy modestly, in answer to the ladies''congratulations and praise,"it worked, though, did n''t it?"
10936The mayor of the town has asked us to take part,came from Jimsy;"what have you got to do with it?"
10936Then I''m to stay with you?
10936Then how kin it fly?
10936Then we can do nothing more?
10936Then what are we to do with her?
10936Then what did they do?
10936Then you are going to fly out there?
10936Ther law? 10936 There''s another thing, what are we to do with this little Wren?"
10936Three what?
10936Wa''al, it ai n''t flyin'', is it?
10936Wake you up?
10936Want to buy him?
10936We set out for a quiet trip and encounter nothing but troubles--"Adventures, Aunt Sally,laughingly corrected Roy;"what is life without adventures?"
10936Well, I''ll leave him to you now,rejoined Roy;"is there a hospital near here?"
10936Well, Tam,he said,"lost your job?"
10936Well, girls, was it an exciting battle?
10936Well, girls, what''s up now?
10936Well, is n''t that being fired? 10936 Well, never mind, I''ve got another for you,"replied Jim Cassell, in what was for him an unwontedly amiable tone;"can you go to work at once?"
10936Well, there was n''t anything to do but fight, unless we''d run away,laughed Roy,"and now what about the cause of all the trouble?"
10936Well, what do you make of that?
10936Well, what next?
10936Well, what''s to be done now?
10936Well, why not? 10936 Well,"he said,"what do you think now?"
10936Well,said he,"are you going to fly?"
10936Well?
10936Wha''de matter?
10936Wha''s true,--dat you all''s crazy?
10936What are the facts?
10936What are we to do?
10936What are you doing here?
10936What are you doing to this child?
10936What are you going to do?
10936What did you say?
10936What do you mean to do?
10936What do you mean?
10936What do you mean?
10936What gift of second sight have you?
10936What if anyone pounces on us?
10936What is it, dear? 10936 What is it?"
10936What is it?
10936What is your name, dear?
10936What next?
10936What next?
10936What next?
10936What on earth is up now?
10936What will we do about it?
10936What will we do; go back for reënforcements?
10936What you alls want hyar?
10936What''s his name?
10936What''s the country coming to?
10936What''s the danger if we keep on?
10936What''s the matter with it?
10936What''s the matter?
10936What''s the trouble?
10936What''s the trouble?
10936What''s thet, Jed?
10936What''s up now, Roy?
10936What''s up, father?
10936What''s up? 10936 What''s your idea, sis?"
10936What, camp out every night? 10936 Where are the aviation grounds?"
10936Where did those boys come from?
10936Where is my machine?
10936Where under the sun did you find them, Beppo?
10936Where?
10936Who are you?
10936Who can have done that?
10936Who can have done this?
10936Who is going to take care of Wren?
10936Who is he?
10936Who''ll make it?
10936Whom do you mean by they?
10936Why do n''t you box the nasty thing''s ears for riding in our car?
10936Why do n''t you put him on the stage as the boxing ram, or something like that?
10936Why not go after them now, while the trail is hot?
10936Why not? 10936 Why not?"
10936Why, does n''t he wear glasses, have a hawk- like nose and smoke a pipe?
10936Why, what''s the matter? 10936 Why?
10936Why?
10936Why?
10936Will it last five minutes longer?
10936Wo n''t, hey? 10936 Wonder how far we are from Meadville?"
10936Wonder who that man is who is monkeying with the_ Red Dragon_?
10936Would you care to hear about it?
10936Wren, do you know that you are a very bad young lady?
10936Yes, and there are wonderful, long- distance migrations of birds, so why not a cross- country flight of motor butterflies?
10936Yes, and what then?
10936Yes; and what did you tell them?
10936Yes; do you know any reason why I should n''t be?
10936You bane want me no more?
10936You kin?
10936You will, eh?
10936Afraid of the lightning?"
10936Ai n''t likely dat ef de Lawd had meant us ter fly he''d have give us wings, would n''t he?"
10936And then with the same sickly grin:"Say, miss, does it really fly?"
10936Are you dreaming?"
10936Are you there?"
10936But how can you free us?"
10936But, say, who can have done this?"
10936Could she make it ahead of her rival?
10936Get me?"
10936Got everything ready?"
10936How about you, Jimsy?"
10936How comes it you have that monkey wrench in your hands if you were n''t tampering with the machinery?"
10936How do you suppose that gun came to be there?"
10936How soon can you get the engines there?"
10936How was he to confess that he had failed in his trust-- had slept while danger threatened?
10936I guess you feel pretty sore, Tam, do n''t you?"
10936I never heard of gals flyin'', although, come to think of it, why should n''t they?"
10936Illustration:"What are you doing to this child?"
10936Is there any doubt in your mind that that fellow Cassell is at the bottom of all this?"
10936It was not altogether an accident, eh?"
10936No harm in that, is there?"
10936See it?"
10936See that deep cañon?
10936Seems funny, does n''t it, to stable aëroplanes in a livery stable?"
10936So I see,"was the rejoinder;"how be you goin''ter git out of thar?"
10936That one with the fallen tree across it?"
10936That''s so,"cried Roy, snapping his fingers;"it would leave an odd track too, would n''t it?"
10936Then, with a sudden change of front:"See here, Tam, do you want to make some money?"
10936WHAT''S TO BE DONE WITH THE WREN?
10936Was it very wrong of me?
10936Was n''t Pegasus, the first flying machine on record, a horse?"
10936Was this Sky Cruise that they had looked forward to with such eager anticipation to be nothing but a series of mishaps?
10936We''re not hurting anything,"objected Roy;"surely you do n''t mind our occupying the field for an hour or so till the storm blows over?"
10936Well, they''ll see that they ai n''t everything around here,"responded the lad;"I reckon Jim Cassell has some say here, eh, dad?"
10936What are you doing there?"
10936What did they tell you when they let you go?"
10936What did they want to know?"
10936What did they want?"
10936What did you say?"
10936What do you mean?
10936What happened?"
10936What sort of stuff?"
10936What will we do now?"
10936What''ll stop me?"
10936What''s To Be Done with The Wren?
10936What''s that?"
10936What''s the trouble?"
10936Which would win the$ 500 race?
10936Who are you, anyhow?"
10936Who could have attempted such a thing?"
10936Who''ll bid?
10936Who''ll bid?
10936Why should we stay out of it?"
10936You do not like it?"
10936You''ll take me with you, wo n''t you?"
10936demanded his wife, noticing his wildly staring eyes and open mouth;"you gone fool crazy?"
10936exclaimed Roy heartily, glancing approvingly at his sister,"what''s your idea?"
10936punned Roy;"he ramified all over, did n''t he?"
10936roared the sheep man;"ai n''t hurt, be you?"
10936she exclaimed,"what is all this?
10936she hailed, as the porch party hastily adjourned and ran to welcome her,"how''s that for a novice only recently out of the Mineola School?"
10936sighed the child;"am I going to stay with you as long as that?"
10936what''s this?"
10936yelled Jimsy;"Has n''t had enough of it yet, eh?"
6827''Sw''at?
6827About what?
6827And go back on the_ Skyrocket_? 6827 Anything else gone wrong?"
6827Apples? 6827 Are you coming?"
6827Back again?
6827Big news? 6827 Boy who was drowned?
6827But did n''t you tell Tod''s dad about what we-- found out?
6827But might n''t it just have been snagged or shoaled up above, and finally worked loose?
6827But there were two of you on the island after me, were n''t there? 6827 But there''s one thing that puzzles me-- do you notice how much water there is in the boat?
6827But what do you want to get onto the island for? 6827 But what was the idea in thumping us because you thought we were from the island?"
6827But where''s the-- the body, then?
6827But why do n''t you let us look on the island? 6827 But why do n''t you want us to look for our friend?
6827But why,Jerry wanted to know,"did n''t you come back home right away-- if you were n''t hurt?"
6827But wo n''t you tell me about Tod?
6827Ca n''t you beg off and get a little more time?
6827Ca n''t you slow her down a little?
6827Ca n''t you tune her down?
6827Course I did-- but we''re going, are n''t we? 6827 Did n''t it look like something blackish in the bottom of the boat?"
6827Did n''t we see you slinking along through the bushes?
6827Did someone tell you he was there, then?
6827Did you ask my father about him?
6827Did you ever run it before?
6827Did you hear it?
6827Do n''t you think we''ve wasted enough time, without losing some more by going back?
6827Do we get a front seat at the circus when the man puts his head in the lion''s mouth-- and a ride on the elephant?
6827Do you care if we come over and look along the shore of the island?
6827Do you have to have such skilled mechanics to make those repairs?
6827Do you hear anything?
6827Do you know what I think?
6827Do you suppose Mr. Aikens took the mill boat?
6827Do you suppose,he began with a kind of despairing eagerness,"that he could have stayed in the boat?"
6827Do you think it''s a sin to steal?
6827Do you think it''s wrong to punish criminals?
6827Do you_ need_ me along, Jerry?
6827Down river?
6827Eats?
6827Eh? 6827 Eh?"
6827Ever been over this road before?
6827Fall down? 6827 Find her?
6827Get them? 6827 Got any plan?"
6827Groaning? 6827 Guessing, huh?
6827Have all the river towns been telegraphed?
6827Have any trouble?
6827Have you seen anything of our friend?
6827He swims well, does n''t he?
6827How can we do it? 6827 How did he happen to get into this?"
6827How do you know then that this is the right road?
6827How far do you s''pose the boat''s drifted by now, Jerry?
6827I believe that Tod Fulton is----"Not alive?
6827I s''pose I''ll have to stay here and help the Scouts mount guard over the relics here-- when will you be back?
6827I say, Phil,he called guardedly;"you ready to listen to the wildest kind of a notion?"
6827I suppose you came to look for a lock of hair from your drowned friend''s head?
6827Is a half million dollars worth while?
6827Is he alive?
6827Is there a gun in the house?
6827Is your mind wandering, or what? 6827 It belongs to Mr. Fulton, I suppose?"
6827It seems a shame----began Tod, when they were once more outside, then asked abruptly:"Willing to take a licking, Jerry?"
6827It turned in toward the river, did n''t it? 6827 Jerry, do n''t you think we''d better be getting on home?"
6827Know anybody there by the name of Tod Fulton? 6827 Looks like some big crouching animal, does n''t it?"
6827Lost Island?
6827Luck was sure breaking our way this morning, was n''t it?
6827Lunch time already?
6827Mind if I come out and try my luck beside you?
6827Mr. Billings came and got you, did n''t he?
6827Mr. Fulton just came home, pa, and Tod told me to tell him----"Guess it''ll keep till morning, wo n''t it? 6827 Not swearing, I take it?"
6827Noticed? 6827 Now what?"
6827Oh, well, the machine''s still here, so why grouch over a couple hours''sleep?
6827Oh, you here, too, little one?
6827On Lost Island?
6827Phil Fulton and his Boy Scouts----"My nephew, you mean, from Chester? 6827 Put''em in jail you mean?"
6827Shall I tie you up?
6827Shall we call?
6827Shall we risk going closer?
6827Suppose it does get dark: there''s such a thing as flying by night, is n''t there? 6827 Suppose my mother wo n''t let me?"
6827Suppose you tell her we''ve got to go and get our boat? 6827 Supposing,"hesitated Dave,"supposing the boat''s grounded on Lost Island itself----""It''s the boat we''re looking for, is n''t it?"
6827That you, Jerry? 6827 Then what you after him for-- if he''s your chum?"
6827They? 6827 Think I''m going to let you go up alone, with a twisted wing that might give out?"
6827To the island? 6827 Tod could help a lot, and I suppose you are one of the dubs, but where are the rest?"
6827Tod----he gasped--"where''s Tod?"
6827Trying to get onto it? 6827 Two hours at a stretch, turn and turn about?"
6827Two men, you say? 6827 Wake me up at twelve, will you, ma?"
6827Want it?
6827Watch the old_ Skyrocket_ till I get back, will you, Jerry?
6827Water sure is filling up, is n''t she? 6827 We could swim, could n''t we?"
6827We- l- l-- Son, can you make a stretcher?
6827Well what? 6827 Well, what I want to know is: How did it get out?
6827Well, what in thunder''s Fulton got in a safe that any robber would want?
6827Well, what''s the idea of our coming over here every night to sleep, when there''s oodles of room there on Lost Island, where we''re needed? 6827 Well, who does?"
6827Well?
6827Were you scared?
6827Wha-- what bucket?
6827What are they made of? 6827 What are you doing, son?"
6827What can we do?
6827What difference does it make to you? 6827 What difference does that make, if they''ve already got the blueprints''?"
6827What do you mean? 6827 What has happened?"
6827What in the world do you mean?
6827What is it, Tod?
6827What is it-- a riot?
6827What is it? 6827 What is it?"
6827What is it?
6827What next? 6827 What was that?"
6827What was the matter with you back there on the island? 6827 What will you say to your conscience when your enemy drops destruction onto your brave countrymen in the trenches from the Fulton Aeroplane?
6827What ye driving at? 6827 What you going to do, Jerry?
6827What''ll it be?
6827What''s all the excitement?
6827What''s eating you? 6827 What''s got into you?"
6827What''s happened?
6827What''s happened?
6827What''s that''huh''? 6827 What''s that?"
6827What''s that?
6827What''s that?
6827What''s the cause of the delay now?
6827What''s the idea?
6827What''s the idea?
6827What''s the matter with you, Dave?
6827What''s the matter, Phil?
6827What''s the meaning of that rumpus out there?
6827What''s the program?
6827What''s the trouble?
6827What? 6827 What?"
6827Where are you-- so I can call you back?
6827Where can you?
6827Where were you, that you knew there were two of us?
6827Where will I find you after breakfast?
6827Where you going to turn in?
6827Where''s dad?
6827Where''s the morning gone to?
6827Where''s your boat?
6827Where-- where''d you learn to do things like that?
6827Who could n''t?
6827Who''s going to help you handle it? 6827 Who''s the best swimmer in the crowd?"
6827Why in thunder did n''t you wake us in time so I could have got a drink?
6827Why locked in, if Mr. Billings had gone to bring your father? 6827 Why not just get into our boat and row over?
6827Why not take her all apart while we''re at it, Jerry?
6827Why not take the boat and go down the middle?
6827Why, Frank Ellery, seventh son of a seventh son? 6827 Why, nothing, Jerry----""Then what you talking about going on home when I''m running down a clew like that?"
6827Will you promise me to come back and let me pick the birdshot out of you after you''ve made a landing on Lost Island?
6827Wing?
6827Wonder what that man was doing on Lost Island?
6827You came alone?
6827You came in the airship?
6827You do n''t mean to tell me that you''re hungry?
6827You mean_ bass_ lake, do n''t you?
6827You remember last week when we were out, and the storm caught us and pretty nearly swamped the boat? 6827 You think he''ll try to patch up the_ Skyrocket?_"asked Jerry.
6827You think_ they_ did it?
6827You waiting for gasoline?
6827You will snore away like six buzz- saws on circus day, huh?
6827You wo n''t mind if I do n''t get back till late?
6827You''re going to swim over, are n''t you, Jerry? 6827 You''re surely not going to make us try to swim it?"
6827You?
6827Your wetting did n''t tame you down any, did it? 6827 _ Dave!_ Dave-- do you remember?
6827_ Where_ is he? 6827 A sin? 6827 Afraid you''d up and rescue yourself?
6827All set now?
6827And an officer''s been looking for you----""Police?"
6827And if you got hold of that boat- seat, for instance, you''d pretty near hang on, would n''t you?
6827And leave the machine here for anybody to come along and study out-- or steal?
6827And why, why had Mr. Fulton laughed at Jerry''s story-- and yet followed his clue in this stealthy way?
6827Anybody got any objections?
6827Are we going to let them?"
6827Are you game to go along?"
6827At last Phil quieted down his dancing mob and put the question Jerry had been awaiting:"How did you do it?"
6827At the same time he was conscious of a disappointed feeling in his heart; why could it not have been the United States that had bought the invention?
6827Boy Scout for sir?"
6827But if they could steal the plans in the meanwhile-- get me?"
6827But suppose somebody just ahead of you made it his business to buy the hundred-- how about that?"
6827But what became of your friend-- if there_ were_ two of you?"
6827But who was the man in the boat?
6827But-- but-- how do you know?
6827Can you blame us for being sore?"
6827Carry my clothes along the bank, will you?
6827Dave, do you mean to tell me you did n''t hear what the man said?"
6827Did he go after a doctor?"
6827Did n''t you hear him say:''Where was young Fulton drowned?''"
6827Did you get the doctor?"
6827Did you see it?
6827Did you think we were going any other way?
6827Do n''t you see?
6827Do n''t you understand?
6827Do you blame us for wanting to lay you out?"
6827First off he''d try to bale her out, would n''t he?
6827For, why should Tod be rescued in this weird fashion?
6827Going along, Dave-- with me?"
6827Harris?"
6827Have you found his-- his body?"
6827He here?
6827He''s a cousin of mine-- why, what''s the matter?"
6827His eyebrows almost met in a frown as he repeated mechanically:"On Lost Island, you say?
6827Hopes?
6827How about it, Jerry?"
6827How are we going to get over?"
6827How do we know?"
6827How far have we gone?"
6827How many times did you fall down?"
6827How''s the knife brigade coming on?"
6827Huh?"
6827Hustle up, Tod-- what you standing there gaping for?"
6827I heard Daisy going on out here like the devil before day-- or was it you two who were pestering her?
6827I laugh like a billygoat, do I?
6827I suppose I could get him, but just what are these Boy Scouts?"
6827In fact, I rather enjoyed your little visit-- though I will admit you scared me a bit when you held the knob of the door to the hangar----""Hangar?
6827Is that a go, Tod?"
6827Is yet, is n''t he, Tod?"
6827It''s a good ten inches from the top-- how full would it have been when she popped up from under the falls at the dam?"
6827It''s about time for the boys to-- listen to those Indians, would you?
6827Jerry repeated, puzzled, to himself:"Left plane-- what in thunder''s that?"
6827Jerry votes for the dam, do n''t you, Jerry?"
6827Jerry yelled, louder this time,"and get her level?"
6827Just outside the ring of light cast by the deserted camp fire, however, Jerry halted and asked:"Thought what you''ll tell_ them?_""Why, no.
6827Me groaning?
6827Never heard of the Boy Scouts?"
6827No?
6827Of-- of Tod?"
6827Remember how you always used to be telling Tod and me to grin hardest when we were getting licked worst?"
6827Ring?"
6827Shall we get your dad?"
6827Shall we go on?"
6827Some scheme, eh?"
6827Suppose there was no one there-- had been no one there?
6827Suppose we could come down in your back lot?
6827Suppose_ they_ are at the house by now?"
6827That friend of yours could n''t very well be on my island without my knowing it, could he?"
6827There are n''t any falls down this way, are there?"
6827There''s at least a mile of bare copper wire about the place-- what you two standing with your mouths wide open for?
6827They were perhaps halfway across when Jerry asked, anxiously, it seemed:"Ca n''t you get any more speed out of her, fellows?"
6827Think you''re going to have the nerve to go up with me, son?"
6827This?"
6827Tod, take a squint at the sun-- five- thirty, is n''t it?
6827Two blooming foreigners trying to steal an airship out of Mr. Fulton''s safe down there in his cellar-- wasn''t that what you said, boys?"
6827Want to hear it?
6827We can tell that chump over there----""Thought you told us good Scouts were always respectful to our elders?"
6827Well, then, Boss Jerry, what''s orders?"
6827What do you think?"
6827What does it all mean?"
6827What good would it do them?"
6827What in tarnation you up to anyhow?"
6827What in thunder''s got into you?
6827What kind of fish can you take in old Roundy after eight o''clock?"
6827What new bug has bitten you?"
6827What say we sneak back, see if there''s a gun at the cabin, and take them by surprise when they start burglarizing the hangar?"
6827What shall we do?
6827What was that thing that just sailed over the house?
6827What you kids doing?"
6827What you mean, fall down?
6827What you trying to hide, you two?"
6827What''d we say if we came back with a bag of pot metal for our money?"
6827What''ll you say?"
6827What''s fishing got to do with it?"
6827What''s next?"
6827What''s orders?"
6827What''s our plan?"
6827What''s that contraption you''re sitting on?"
6827What''s that pinned to your blanket?"
6827What''s that?"
6827What''s the idea?
6827What''s your plan?"
6827When''d your dad get to be an inventor?"
6827Where are we now?"
6827Where are you from, anyhow?"
6827Where away, boatman?"
6827Where do you put it all?"
6827Where in thunder are all those boys?"
6827Where is he?"
6827Where was young Fulton drowned, anyway?"
6827Where''d you get onto it?"
6827Where''ll we land?"
6827Where''ll you try it, below or above?
6827Where''s the nearest farmhouse?"
6827Who is_ she_--and where?
6827Who was the other hero?"
6827Who''s going along with me?"
6827Who''s got a heavy knife with a sharp big blade in it?"
6827Who''s the goat you had in mind?"
6827Why did n''t you invite them into the house, son?
6827Why had the man refused to let Tod''s friends come on the island?
6827Why should n''t he ask that?"
6827Why, Jerry?"
6827Why?"
6827Will you buy the machine and the idea on approval?
6827Will you do this?
6827Will you leave it to me?"
6827Wo n''t you fellows go along with me?
6827Wood?"
6827Would the man never get there?
6827You say you do n''t belong on the island?"
6827You told me you''d let me go camping with the bunch, do n''t you remember?
6827You were n''t_ on_ Lost Island, were you?"
6827You will not be long?"
6827You''ll blow the factory whistle when it''s time to get up, wo n''t you?"
6827cried Mr. Fulton, despair in his voice,"do n''t you see?
6827shouted Phil,"where''s the meat- axe?"
10954A flight?
10954A large red one?
10954After this affecting tableau, is there anything you wish to say to me, hey?
10954Ai n''t tryin''ter fool us, are yer?
10954All is not lost yet, Mortlake, hey, hey, hey?
10954And Jess and Jimsy and----"And that other young fellow? 10954 And a nice, lonely sort of place, too, hey?"
10954And if not?
10954Are n''t you afraid of burglars coming and blowing the door of the safe off?
10954Are n''t you going to ask us in?
10954Are we far from Cape Charles?
10954Are you Miss Margaret Prescott, the girl aviator I have read so much about in the technical publications?
10954Are you going to keep on, Roy?
10954Are you going to tell him, Peggy?
10954Are you going to try for it?
10954But what about the_ Butterfly_?
10954But what are we to do with those two rascals now that we have caught them?
10954But what if, as you fear, the Prescotts have a superior aeroplane?
10954But what''s it all for?
10954But where are the folks who own it?
10954Can I help you fix the machine?
10954Can we do anything to help you?
10954Can we leave a message for you at your shops, or would you like a lift home with us?
10954Can you direct me to Mr. Mortlake''s aeroplane factory?
10954Can you guide us, my boy?
10954Can you read the printing on that sign?
10954Come, are you going to answer?
10954Confound it,he thought,"is this chit of a girl making fun of me?"
10954Did any of those bills have an identifying mark on it?
10954Did you come in an aeroplane, too?
10954Discharged you, eh? 10954 Do I have to answer that question, now?"
10954Do n''t mind if I have a look at it, do you?
10954Do you deny that this was your wallet?
10954Do you mean Mortlake?
10954Do you mean to say that Mortlake is scoundrel enough to plot against her, too?
10954Do you mind getting out?
10954Do you recall the safe being opened while you were in the room? 10954 Do you think I''ve got nothing to do but talk to you fellows all day?
10954Do you think it possible that he is also going to take in that outfit down the road?
10954Do you think that odious boy suspects anything?
10954Do you think we can overhaul her, Roy?
10954From yonder sky,grinned Jimsy, trying, not very successfully, to assume an inanely cheerful tone,"not badly hurt, old man, are you?"
10954Good gracious, Peggy, what are you trying to do?
10954Good heavens, is n''t there any good in the world?
10954Had an accident?
10954Had n''t you better shut down a bit? 10954 Have I?
10954Have you any idea at all as to the direction of the light, Peggy?
10954Have you got der plans?
10954Have you got your course?
10954He is in Hampton-- why?
10954He''s polite about it, is n''t he?
10954Heard the news?
10954Hey, girls, seen a package on the road?
10954Hey? 10954 How did it all happen?"
10954How did you ever come to make such a mistake?
10954How did you hear of it?
10954How far from here is the place where your partner is?
10954How long will that take, do you think?
10954How on earth did you happen to do that, Mortlake?
10954I agree with you,was the dry and rasping reply;"at least, they have put us in possession of one valuable bit of knowledge, hey?"
10954I beg your pardon?
10954I know, Sis, but what possible way have we to prove it? 10954 I suppose you fellows know that you are breaking the law and in danger of imprisonment if you are caught?"
10954I understand that you folks was in this house yesterday afternoon?
10954I wonder if he''ll have the face to brazen it out?
10954I wonder what mischief those young cubs are hatching up now?
10954I wonder who the fourth can be?
10954I-- here, what are you trying to do? 10954 Is n''t it against the rules for women or girls to drive machines in this contest?"
10954Is n''t it? 10954 Is n''t that just like a brother?
10954Is the island inhabited?
10954Is this enough?
10954Is this lieutenant going to stay long in Sandy Beach?
10954Is-- is the baby all right?
10954It''s too bad,repeated Fanning,"but ca n''t I do something?"
10954Let''s see,said Roy thoughtfully,"you''re one of the workmen at the Mortlake plant, are n''t you?"
10954Like to see how that was done?
10954Look here,cried Roy, indignantly wiggling in the officer''s strong grasp,"ca n''t you see that this is all a mistake?
10954Looks rather too warm to be comfortable, does n''t it?
10954Lost Brig Island,echoed Jess in an alarmed tone;"is this an island?"
10954Magnificently handled, do n''t you think so, Mortlake?
10954My dear Peggy,exclaimed Jess, with a smile that showed all her white even teeth,"what will you do next?
10954My dear, little girl,said James Bell,"can you trust me?"
10954No, but no doubt we shall when we reach the farm- house,put in Jess;"is n''t it thrilling, though?"
10954Not in there?
10954Now, what is there that''s familiar about that voice?
10954Oh, do you like it?
10954Oh, so you got the boy, hey?
10954Oh, were n''t they taken aback, though, at the idea?
10954Oh, you did, eh? 10954 Pardon me,"he said,"but is your name Regina?"
10954Pressing her a bit, are n''t you?
10954Queer, is n''t it?
10954Ready?
10954Ready?
10954Really? 10954 Roy Prescott here?"
10954Smart as a steel trap, with teeth that bite and hold, hey, hey, hey?
10954So the government really means to give us an opportunity to show the worth of our machines?
10954So,said Mortlake,"I''m left alone at last, eh?
10954Strong language?
10954Sure? 10954 That message you sent me-- what does it mean?"
10954That would be an easy bill to identify,commented Palmer, uneasily,"wonder if this can be a trap?"
10954The half- hour signal,cried Jimsy;"everything ready?"
10954Then what was it doing in your possession?
10954Then your brother did n''t see the safe opened?
10954There''s nothing serious the matter, is there?
10954They are actually selling stock?
10954They told me----"Oh, come in, wo n''t you?
10954This is a very unfortunate business, hey?
10954To what am I indebted for the pleasure of this visit?
10954We trust you absolutely,said Peggy,"and you''ll trust us?"
10954We understand, guv''ner,he rasped out in a hoarse voice;"Slim, here, and me do n''t take long ter catch on, eh, Slim?"
10954Well, I may have some work for you to do----"Work, guv''ner? 10954 Well, do you want to race then?"
10954Well, this is a nice fix, is n''t it?
10954Well, what do you want me to do about it?
10954Well, what if we did?
10954Well, what is it?
10954Well, what is it?
10954Well, where are those papers, then?
10954Well,growled Mortlake,"what have you got to say to me?"
10954Well,said Mr. Bell, looking round him with a smile,"who says that all the adventure and excitement is in the West?"
10954Well?
10954What are you going to do?
10954What can we do for you?
10954What d''ye think of that, hey, Mortlake?
10954What d''ye think of that? 10954 What did you come for?"
10954What did you read?
10954What do you mean to imply?
10954What do you think, Sis? 10954 What do you think?
10954What do you want me to do?
10954What do you want to do with me?
10954What game of cross- purposes and crooked answers is this?
10954What is all this-- a joke? 10954 What is it, Sis?"
10954What is it? 10954 What make of machine is your car, Fanning?"
10954What name was that you just mentioned?
10954What right have you to demand them?
10954What''s that? 10954 What''s that?
10954What''s the matter, sheriff?
10954What''s the meaning of this rough behavior?
10954What''s up?
10954What, wo n''t even the wonderful equalizer render her safe?
10954What, you here?
10954Whatever was that you used? 10954 Where are you off to?"
10954Where can they be going?
10954Where do you want me to go?
10954Where is the house? 10954 Where?"
10954Which one?
10954Who are they?
10954Who?
10954Why did n''t you say that before?
10954Why not?
10954Why should I? 10954 Why, did they?"
10954Why, if I may ask?
10954Why, what is it? 10954 Why?"
10954Why?
10954Will they report us?
10954Will you be good enough to mail some letters for us?
10954Will you do something for me-- will you aid a miserable outcast to right a great wrong?
10954Wonder where they can be going to?
10954Wot papers might you be lookin''fer?
10954Wots it worth if we tell yer where them papers are, guv''ners both?
10954Yep,was the grunted reply;"and now Mister What''s- Yer- Name, what are you going ter do with us?"
10954Yes,said Peggy,"did n''t you know?
10954Yes,she said;"why?"
10954You ai n''t goin''ter give us up guv''ner? 10954 You are sure this was the place?"
10954You ca n''t scare me by rattling old bones,he said,"What do you know about it?"
10954You do n''t think I''m going to allow Fanning Harding to scare me out of anything, do you?
10954You do not? 10954 You have an aviator attached to your place, then?"
10954You have been in New York, then?
10954You say that they were hanging about Mortlake''s place?
10954You see,she explained,"it would never do for us to reveal all our secrets, would it?
10954You thoroughly understand your instructions now?
10954You''re sure that bill is all right, Joey?
10954After all, why should n''t Mr. Harding and Mortlake be driving to the farm?
10954All agreed that things looked as black against them as could be, but-- where was the proof?
10954All right, ai n''t it?"
10954And in the face of this, do you mean to say that the boy would dare to keep up his apparent negotiations with the United States?"
10954And who do you think is to be his companion?"
10954And yet, what could be Mortlake''s object?
10954Are you willing to let your estimate of young Prescott stand or fall by this meeting?"
10954Bell?"
10954Bradbury know that I''m here?"
10954But I can do the same thing if you''d care to see it?"
10954But Jimsy said suddenly:"If that was the case, why did n''t they try to make out that I stole it?"
10954But Roy struck in with a question:"Was n''t Mr. Mortlake, accompanied by Harding, out here last night?"
10954But do n''t you see what power that gives us?"
10954But what does all this mean?
10954But what does all this mean?
10954But what had become of them?
10954But what under ther sun air you young folks in your fine clothes a- doin''out here?"
10954But what was the_ Golden Butterfly_ doing?
10954But what?
10954But why do you look so distressed, Peggy?"
10954But you do n''t think I''m worrying about your car now, do you?"
10954But, man, what has happened to you?
10954By the way, what time does the first test come off?"
10954Close at hand?"
10954Did n''t I, Slim?"
10954Did n''t you just hand the plans of the aeroplane over to that representative of a foreign government whom Mr. Mortlake is now chasing?"
10954Did you hear any details?"
10954Did you know that for some days past a German spy has been in Sandy Beach?"
10954Do you know him?"
10954Do you mean to try to lie out of it?
10954Do you suppose that Mr. Prescott will be long?"
10954Drop from ther clouds?"
10954Fine young girls, eh?
10954For what object?
10954Foun''suthin''vallerable, hev yer?
10954Got the money?"
10954Have you any clue yet?"
10954Hey, hey, hey?"
10954Hey, what''s all this?
10954Hey?"
10954How about it girls, are you hungry?"
10954Hullo, who''s this?"
10954I can take you to him?"
10954Is n''t that enough?"
10954Is this the Prescott house?"
10954Is your brother badly hurt?"
10954Listen-- who do you suppose has come back to Sandy Beach?"
10954Mortlake?"
10954Mortlake?"
10954Nice products of the twentieth century, hey?"
10954No, not that schooner below there-- I mean that sort of whitish drift-- it looks like cotton-- on the horizon?"
10954Now then-- do you know a man named Mortlake?"
10954Oh, how can I ever thank you?"
10954Or are you afraid to drive mine?"
10954Poor Roy, I wonder how he is getting along?"
10954Prescott?"
10954Regina, have n''t you a word for me?
10954Roy will be as good as ever by to- morrow, wo n''t you boy?"
10954See?"
10954Smart as a steel trap, hey?"
10954So Master Roy Prescott, you were planning to unmask me by that side- comb, were you?
10954So he was keeping that as evidence against me, eh?
10954Strange, is n''t it?"
10954Suppose they mistake us for burglars, and shoot us?"
10954Suppose----Good heavens, what''s that?"
10954That chap who got away wore a gray suit, while yours is a blue serge, is n''t it?"
10954That is, if you girls are n''t scared?"
10954The part of Roy on that eventful night had been played by:"Guess whom?"
10954To be accurate, young Prescott''s-- you know whom I mean?"
10954Was it fancy, or did Roy, for a second, see Mortlake quail and whiten?
10954We was broke, and----""And so you thought you''d replenish your pockets by holding up some automobilist or traveller, eh?
10954Well, what was the nature of that employment?"
10954Well, what''s that got to do with me?"
10954Well, would n''t that jar you?"
10954What about that pocket tool kit I had when I started out on the auto?
10954What are you doing here?"
10954What could be coming now?
10954What d''ye mean by that, hey?
10954What d''ye mean by that?"
10954What do you know about this?"
10954What do you mean?"
10954What do you want?"
10954What does all this mean?"
10954What is it?"
10954What more do you want?"
10954What of him?
10954What on earth do I know about it?"
10954What time is that naval lieutenant coming to look over the Prescott aeroplane, Peggy?"
10954What was that the crowd were shouting?
10954What''s all this?"
10954Where is such an aeroplane?"
10954Who can be coming now?"
10954Who could the two pretty girls in natty motor bonnets, with goggles attached, the plain, heavy skirts and dark shirt- waists be?
10954Who ever saw a barn with skylights on it?"
10954Who was in the parlor beside yourself when Mr. Galloway opened the wall safe to reward the men who had helped him extinguish the fire?"
10954Who''s to know we have the money?
10954Who, then?"
10954Who?"
10954Why ca n''t we get a doctor?
10954Why did you go into the manufacture of aerial machines, if you did n''t mean to stick it out?"
10954Why do n''t you call the police?"
10954Why do n''t you get somebody else to do it?"
10954Why had Regina been so mortified, and apparently alarmed, when she had announced the loss of one of her side- combs?
10954Will you go?"
10954Will you meet him?
10954Wo n''t you forgive me for deceiving you about your father all these years?"
10954Wo n''t you have a straw hat-- I mean a seat?"
10954Wonder where they can be going?"
10954You agree with me, do n''t you?"
10954You came here with him?"
10954You can see we''re not flying, ca n''t you?"
10954You thoroughly understand, now, to- morrow night on the road to Galloway''s farm?"
10954You wo n''t mind accompanying me then, while I oversee the workmen?"
10954Your brother was not there?"
10954asked Peggy boldly enough, despite her inward terror;"you had better go on at once, or----""Waal, or what?"
10954cried Mortlake, while old Mr. Harding spluttered:"Eh, eh?
10954exclaimed Peggy, as a sudden thought struck her,"suppose there should be trapdoors?"
10954he cried as his eyes fell on the trio,"whar under ther sun did you come from?
10954murmured Roy, smiling pluckily, as the Bancrofts came toward him with pitying looks,"but where in the world did you come from?"
10954shouted Mortlake, uselessly as he knew,"what''s the matter with you?"
10954shrilled Regina, who had now joined the group,"you do n''t surely mean to insinuate?
10954the man nodded his head in the direction in which Fanning and Regina had vanished,"did they come in a Mortlake aeroplane?"
10954whistled the boy,"a new conquest for the irresistible Fanning, eh?"
10954you did not drop it?"
