43917W- w- w- w- w- where w- w- w- w- will we t- t- t- t- tackle him?
43917Wall, why ca n''t he say so?
43917Was he old?
43917Was this fellow just a herder, or did he own a flock?
43917Wasee malla me, Missa Sheliff? 43917 Well, is n''t half the pleasure of running an auto finding out how many things you do n''t know about it?"
43917Well, ma''am,said Cal,"supposing yer man yonder takes a try at carryin''her instead of wasting wind a- bahing?"
43917Well, what?
43917Were n''t you scared?
43917Whar yer goin''?
43917What are we going to do?
43917What are you going to do, Dayton?
43917What are you going to do?
43917What did you say?
43917What do you think of it?
43917What for,rejoined Joe, whose voice was also sunk to a low pitch,"not scared, are you?"
43917What in the name of Ben Butler has got inter the critter?
43917What in thunder was that?
43917What is it, Joe?
43917What is this, a catch?
43917What sort of a p- p- p- lace is it?
43917What was it?
43917What was that?
43917What yo''bin a- doing to ther ole bell- wether, Dutchy?
43917What''s that?
43917What''s the m- m- m- matter?
43917What''s the matter?
43917What''s the matter?
43917What, hitch my stage on ahind your oleomargerinerous gas cart?
43917What, ride with you kids in thet gasolene tug boat?
43917What, the same thing as Bismark?
43917What?
43917What?
43917What?
43917Whatever can we do?
43917Where are we going to stop to- night?
43917Where are you hurt?
43917Where on earth are we?
43917Whereabouts were you when you fired?
43917Which direction did you fire in?
43917Who built it?
43917Who is it?
43917Why are you so anxious about''em, Dayton?
43917Why not?
43917Why that-- don''t you see it?
43917Why were those highwaymen not shot down? 43917 Why?"
43917Wonder how them fellers trailed us?
43917Wonder what they mean to do with me anyhow?
43917Y- y- y- yes; why?
43917You are sure they have them?
43917You do n''t know?
43917You do n''t see no reason?
43917You guess?
43917You mean stay right where we are?
43917You think that Morello''s band may give us more trouble?
43917You''ve been held up, then?
43917But hullo, what''s this?"
43917But on his tired, fagged pony, already almost collapsing beneath him, could he do it?
43917But what are we going to do about it?
43917But what were they to do?
43917But where was Ding- dong?
43917Can you run an auto, Ed.?
43917Could the keen- eyed leader of the outlaw band have discovered his hiding place?
43917Did n''t I see them in old Goodale''s hut?
43917Do they travel with much money about them?"
43917Do you know what we did with spies when I was fighting on the border?"
43917Eh boy, is n''t that true?"
43917Eh, what have you to say to that?"
43917How about it, Joe?"
43917Maybe I get a picture of him?"
43917Pudt der voss no use in saying noddings, voss dere?"
43917Then Nat said in a low tone, almost a whisper:--"I wonder who he was?"
43917Unless-- unless---- Nat leaped up from the bedstead with a low, suppressed:--"_ Whoop!_""You''ve found a way out of it?"
43917Voss iss he madt about?"
43917Vot for-- vy you ask me?"
43917Vy nodt?"
43917What do you say if we try and get some for dinner?"
43917What do you think of it?"
43917What of it?"
43917Where is Dayton?"
43917Who could it be?
43917Who could it be?
43917Why did n''t somebody act?"
43917Would he win out?
43917You did n''t think I was go- go- going to s- s- s- shoot at a put- put- petrified tree, did you?"
43917You see----""Say, who''s tellin''this?"
43917exclaimed Cal, hastily kicking out the bright fire and leaving it a dull heap of scattered embers,"are you sure?"
43917exclaimed Joe,"are there many of them back here?"
43917exclaimed Joe,"did you ever see such a sight?"
43917exclaimed the white- whiskered man, who had been listening with an angry, red countenance,"why does not some one capture them?"
43917gasped Cal,"has he bin stealin''horses?"
43917inquired Herr Muller innocently,"if I voss a deader I could n''t take my own pigdure, aind''t idt?"
43917roared Jack Tebbetts, the sheriff,"a ghost?
43917shouted Joe above poor Ding- dong''s cries,"how are we going to see to shoot?"
43917what was that?"
43917whispered Joe,"do n''t you hear something?"
43917yelled the sheriff, drawing an enormous gun as this weird figure came in view,"Halt whar you be, stranger?
37911A little boy?
37911A thread mill?
37911All ready?
37911All right?
37911And could n''t you see who boarded it?
37911And do you think the girls are going to do something desperate?
37911And he did n''t try to fix your batteries?
37911And how''s Old Briney?
37911And make matters look as if I were more deeply involved than I really am? 37911 And now,"resumed the detective,"what are we to do with these young ladies?
37911And they said I gave that card to the girls? 37911 And was it just built for-- roadsters?"
37911And was it your nose I almost burned off?
37911And was n''t it lovely of mamma to invite the boys?
37911And were you the''carrier pigeon?''
37911And what difference did it make who might pick it up?
37911And what time are we counting on getting to a putting- up place?
37911And who said you were to go to the reform school?
37911And whose locks do you suppose they are?
37911Any other danger likely to crop up?
37911Are n''t they?
37911Are n''t you pressed flat?
37911Are n''t you?
37911Are there two girls named Catron employed here?
37911Are we to catch our deaths of cold here, waiting for the return of a man, who should never have gone away? 37911 Are you hurt?"
37911Are you ready, young ladies?
37911Are you sure, Jack Kimball,demanded Ed,"that the young ladies will be in no way put out by our rudeness?
37911Boarders?
37911But are they dead, do you think?
37911But how did the girls get the berries? 37911 But suppose we try?
37911But those wringers?
37911But what could I do?
37911But what have I done?
37911But where could they have gone to?
37911But where is Ed? 37911 Ca n''t you come over in the shade and rest awhile?"
37911Ca n''t you tell me something they said?
37911Can I help you?
37911Detectives are not really dangerous; are they?
37911Did n''t Cora have any idea you were going to follow?
37911Did n''t they come?
37911Did she send it to us?
37911Did they say they got it from me?
37911Did you ever see anything so delightful?
37911Did you get a nice drink?
37911Did you see any ghosts?
37911Did you see the fireplace in the dining room?
37911Do n''t I look it?
37911Do n''t the other young ladies want any?
37911Do n''t you know I have to hurry, and you are teasing me this way?
37911Do n''t you recognize it?
37911Do n''t you think, when you rest awhile, you can go on, Nellie, dear? 37911 Do n''t you want the other boys to know?"
37911Do they wear their sunbonnets to bed?
37911Do we go through them?
37911Do you happen to remember where you dropped this?
37911Do you mean to tell me a monkey like you can pick ten an hour?
37911Do you really think-- they have drowned themselves?
37911Do you think the man in the candy kitchen would take us back? 37911 Do you want us to go back to Chelton without our berries?"
37911Do you work all day?
37911Do you?
37911Does n''t that sound like Nellie?
37911Does this woman own the patch?
37911Dropped that?
37911Eh, Narrow?
37911Forgot what?
37911Had we better stop at that house, and get some refreshment for you?
37911Hanged funny, is n''t it?
37911Has a party of automobile folks come in here since eight o''clock?
37911Has n''t she got''em though?
37911Has n''t she treated us badly for years? 37911 Have n''t you told_ me_ all about it?"
37911Have they registered?
37911Have you been out long?
37911Have you heard the news?
37911Have you no parents?
37911Hear that?
37911Help me?
37911How could I-- go, this very day?
37911How could you ever imagine such a thing, Jack?
37911How far to Wayside?
37911How is she?
37911How long have you been here?
37911How many tally- sticks did you get to- day?
37911How many you got?
37911I also declare,''what does this mean?''
37911I do n''t hear the cars, do you?
37911I suppose they got to the house after you had started out? 37911 I suppose you feel-- that I should have taken your offer for the horses?"
37911I wonder how they are making out on that robbery?
37911I wonder if that chauffeur Mr. Robinson hired, knows any place to put up at?
37911I wonder if they could have been the two girls who were here yesterday?
37911I wonder if we can-- use the car?
37911I wonder what will come next? 37911 I wonder where Jack is?"
37911I wonder who it can be, and what does she want, prowling about after midnight?
37911I wonder why someone does n''t invent a horn or something to scare dogs and chickens?
37911I would like to know whose shadow it was I was chasing one night around the Wayside? 37911 Ice- water?
37911If the crate is paid for will it belong to him?
37911If we leave here about three, will we get anywhere in time to-- have breakfast, for instance?
37911Is it hard work?
37911Is n''t this a wonderful old place, though?
37911Is n''t this perfectly delightful? 37911 Is n''t this the real thing?"
37911Is the car ready to take out, Patrick?
37911Is there any one there?
37911Is there anything wetter than wet clothes?
37911Is this Miss Kimball?
37911It was you, of course, who came up in the automobile, played ghost, and hung the note on the lamp?
37911Let me see, what is your specialty-- what can you do?
37911My Rose-- or was she your Rose-- and is she my Nellie?
37911Now I wonder what did she mane?
37911Now what''s up?
37911Now, are you sure, Andy, that you understood just what they said?
37911Oh, ca n''t you put up some place else to- night?
37911Oh, have they gone at last?
37911Oh, is that all you were going to say?
37911Oh, you help with the housework too?
37911Or would you rather go right on to the Wayside, where you can remove your wet clothing?
37911Quieted down? 37911 Salty as ever?"
37911Say, Cora,replied Jack,"would you like me to pull in the whole crowd, and let you take your pick?
37911Search me?
37911Shall I come? 37911 She did, eh?"
37911Something else for Cora, I wonder?
37911Strike, eh?
37911Suppose they do? 37911 Suppose we make straight for the Wayside?"
37911Suppose we meet in an hour at Smith''s Crossing?
37911Then if the berries are bought you will give the boy his tallies?
37911Then who do you suppose did write it, if not one of the girls?
37911Then why should we not see the detectives, and tell them all about it? 37911 Then you came straight to Lookout Beach?"
37911Then you came to Clover Cottage?
37911They pick berries all day, do they not?
37911To meet the Ram and the Schenk?
37911To the left-- what place can that be?
37911Want me to investigate?
37911Was n''t it silly?
37911Was n''t there something doing the day we left Chelton?
37911Was that window unlocked?
37911Was that your cat?
37911We''ve nothing to tell; have we, Cora?
37911Well, have you sufficiently quieted down, Bess?
37911Well, what does this particular ghost want, Cora?
37911Well, what next?
37911Well, what of that?
37911Were there three cars, and a number of girls?
37911Were they rubber?
37911What about the girls, and Miss Schenk?
37911What are those little sticks for?
37911What did the strange men have to do with it all?
37911What did they actually say, Jack?
37911What do you call that place where the notes grow on the gas jets?
37911What do you say to another moving picture show, or the band concert, or some salt- water taffy or even a lobster supper? 37911 What do you think of me suit?
37911What does she take us for?
37911What does this mean?
37911What dreadful thing happened?
37911What else can I do?
37911What ever could have induced that man to leave the road and drive down into the cemetery? 37911 What for?"
37911What for?
37911What is it, dear?
37911What is the crate worth?
37911What looks bad?
37911What on earth do folks want those things sticking up for?
37911What on earth happened?
37911What on earth is this rig- a- my- gig for?
37911What time do we start?
37911What time is it?
37911What was that?
37911What was the shade of hair worn by the runaways of the strawberry patch? 37911 What will you do with that crate of berries?"
37911What''ll I give him the tallies for when he owes me more than they''re worth?
37911What''s his name?
37911What''s in the other little house?
37911What''s in the other side?
37911What''s it about?
37911What''s the matter?
37911What''s the use of us ploughing over-- graves? 37911 What''s this?"
37911What; run after it?
37911Whatever are you talking about, Jack?
37911Whatever brought her out alone, so near to nightfall? 37911 Whatever brought you into Chelton so early?"
37911Where are the boys?
37911Where are you bound for?
37911Where are you going?
37911Where are you going?
37911Where are you hurt?
37911Where are you stopping?
37911Where are you?
37911Where can she be?
37911Where did you find them?
37911Where did you get that jewel case?
37911Where does my story come in?
37911Where in the world have you been?
37911Where''s all that''dough''you was telling us about? 37911 Where''s my tallies?"
37911Where''s the turn, Ed?
37911Where?
37911Where?
37911Wherever have you been?
37911Which way?
37911Which way?
37911Who are those people coming?
37911Who may be the fair maids who have slept in this shack, and eaten the bread of freedom?
37911Who said you did take them?
37911Who were in the hired car?
37911Who''s here?
37911Who''s that?
37911Why did n''t they go right on-- start in time to reach the beach to- night?
37911Why did n''t you blow your horn?
37911Why did n''t you blow your own?
37911Why did n''t you''phone?
37911Why did you run away from Mrs. Ramsy''s house?
37911Why do n''t you give in, and let the boys go back to work?
37911Why ice water, Patrick?
37911Why should we wait for him?
37911Why the where- for- ness?
37911Why this fluttering fluster, sis?
37911Why, Andy?
37911Why, Jack, I have to be in my car at ten minutes to two, and do you see the time?
37911Why, we did n''t tell you, did we?
37911Why?
37911Why?
37911Why?
37911Will you go to- day?
37911Will you go with us? 37911 Without me, or without Jack?"
37911Would n''t that be jolly?
37911Would you like to come along, Bess? 37911 You are sure-- the ghost works all right?"
37911You can stand, eh?
37911Young lady, can you get free of the branches?
37911And besides, Cora, honestly, do n''t you think we would be-- lonely without-- the boys?"
37911And how stage- like little Nellie looked with those fierce dogs at her side, and the boys standing around her?
37911And now, sis, where are they going, anyway?
37911And who was there to stop her?
37911Are there any more at home like you?"
37911Are you much hurt?"
37911Are you tired?
37911But tell me, what did she say?"
37911But were n''t those girls queer?
37911But who got the earrings?"
37911But you have compelled me to go, have n''t you?"
37911CHAPTER XIX THE MOVING PICTURE"MOVED""Where shall we go first?"
37911Can you come?"
37911Come, have n''t I waited long enough for that secret?"
37911Could n''t you let Rose and Nellie stay right here, officer?
37911Could you describe them?"
37911Did n''t I find you?"
37911Did you enjoy the sail?"
37911Do n''t you remember the success of our hay- mobile run last year, when we went after the girls on their tour?
37911Do n''t you see, if you go along with the_ Whirlwind_ what a splendid time we shall have?"
37911Do n''t you think we ought to search, before they get away-- to the ocean?"
37911Do you know he makes more money hauling folks with automobiles up this hill, than he does on the farm?
37911Do you suppose they would go over the new road?
37911Do you think you can get up the hill?"
37911Do you want the_ Comet_ to run into the_ Whirlwind_?"
37911He wo n''t really go through those rolls, will he?"
37911How could he ever pay three dollars and seventy- five cents for that crate of crushed berries?
37911I am almost dead myself from running around----""After us?"
37911I do wonder what became of him?"
37911I suppose Belle would think this sort of fixing up not half thorough enough?"
37911Is she goin''?"
37911Is your brother, or mother at home?"
37911Mrs. Robinson, will you come and bring the girls?"
37911Now what girl is going to walk into that sort of trap?"
37911Oh, why did we let Jack go away?"
37911Or did you say they claimed to have taken it from me?"
37911Or that she refused Ed Foster''s pressing invitation to go into Snow''s for an ice cream drink?
37911Ramsy?"
37911Rose, do n''t you know enough to make room for the young lady?"
37911She surveyed it critically, then said:"Andy, did you swipe a bunch of tallies this morning?"
37911Such a delightful place-- and Cora dear,"she panted on,"can you come?
37911The lights have gone out and the motion picture machine went up, but what harm is that?
37911They may have gotten in with some unscrupulous persons-- and who can tell what may happen?"
37911Those girls----""But why did they chase us about so?"
37911We ca n''t go there unless we want to----""Where can we go?"
37911Were n''t they in a hurry to get away, though?
37911What are you crying for?"
37911What did he mean by getting the reward?
37911What did they care about the woman who would strike them?
37911What fun would we have motoring without you?"
37911What''s the matter?"
37911When did they say they were coming to Chelton?"
37911Where did you find it?"
37911Where did you find them?"
37911Who is she?"
37911Who is there to stop her now?"
37911Why do n''t you warm up a bit?
37911Why not sweet?
37911Why should she say what she thought-- just then?
37911Why should we go on like this?
37911Why, Patrick?"
37911Why?"
37911_ Will_ you come?"
37911called the girls again,"ca n''t you tell us where you are?"
37911declared a boy who boldly faced the woman,"and Andy''s not goin''to stand fer it, or we all strike; do n''t we, fellers?"
37911exclaimed Belle,"are we going to be arrested?"
37911exclaimed Cora,"more early morning callers?
38123A shoe horn?
38123Ah, Count, ca n''t you wait so short a time?
38123Ah, Mademoiselle Marian? 38123 Am I presumptuous in venturing to ask if it is your pleasure that we should know to whom we are indebted?"
38123And if you would, why would you, and if thus, why, therefore and whereupon?
38123And lose all this glorious moonlight?
38123And the fork, too, I should say,laughed her father,"also the teapot, and-- what on earth are you cherishing so fondly, Sallie?"
38123And what a charming picture the young girls make, Madame de Villiers, do they not? 38123 And what are the Everglades?"
38123And when you unearth her family skeleton may I go along and play Doctor Watson?
38123And wo n''t you have some tea? 38123 And you are the last of your line?"
38123Are my girls having a good time?
38123Are these your four daughters?
38123Are we going to dine with the countess to- morrow night?
38123Are you unhappy, Marian?
38123Aunt Sallie, shall I call Father?
38123Aunt Sallie,said Ruth,"what do you dislike most about Mrs. De Lancey Smythe?"
38123Barbara,whispered Ruth,"are we dreaming or is it the Countess Sophia?"
38123But are n''t there a great many clouds in the sky?
38123But did you notice how often Mr. Duval came to the count''s rescue? 38123 But do you know much about Mrs. De Lancey Smythe?"
38123But do you suppose they really have a game to play?
38123But does it follow that one is of the same country as one''s servants? 38123 But how are we going to prove that Count de Sonde is a fortune- hunter?"
38123But how can we prevent Maud''s marrying the count if she wishes to do so?
38123But may I ask you not to stay long?
38123But what about Monsieur Duval?
38123But what about a night signal?
38123But what are we to do about Maud Warren?
38123But what do you prefer?
38123But what have you heard against him?
38123But what was the favor? 38123 But where are your fish, Barbara?"
38123But where is the nearest house, then?
38123But why do you think you wo n''t have the things you want? 38123 By the way where is Monsieur Duval?
38123By the way, Stuart,said Mr. Warren,"what do you say to a sail in my launch, this afternoon?
38123By the way,exclaimed Ruth,"did you know I received a letter to- day from darling Olive Prescott?
38123Can I do anything for you?
38123Can you cook?
38123Careful about what?
38123Could she be afraid of her own mother?
38123Did you see the other man?
38123Did you think they would fail to accept?
38123Do n''t you think so, Count?
38123Do people drop their titles in this great free country of yours? 38123 Do these little hands also run a motor car?"
38123Do you believe that he is an impostor, Madame de Villiers?
38123Do you care for him?
38123Do you know anything about the countess?
38123Do you know what I believe Madame de Villiers was thinking all the time we were at luncheon?
38123Do you know what I heard to- day?
38123Do you look after this Miss Thorne?
38123Do you mean that she intends to invite the entire party-- the De Lancey Smythes and all that aggregation?
38123Do you mean that something is going to happen that may concern us?
38123Do you mean to warn me, Marian?
38123Do you mean you were out motoring alone with the Count de Sonde?
38123Do you not find it dull staying at an out- of- the- way place like this?
38123Do you really know anything about the count, Maud?
38123Do you really think that?
38123Do you suppose it would be good form to call on the countess to- morrow, when we met her only this afternoon?
38123Do you suppose people ever really work here?
38123Do you suppose that things will ever be any different for me? 38123 Do you think Mr. Warren would disinherit Maud, if she married the count?"
38123Do you think the Countess Sophia could be in need of money?
38123Do you think, Mademoiselle Ruth,it inquired,"that suspicion of a certain person will reach a point where you will be required to take sides?"
38123Do you wish to help your friend?
38123Does he know how to paddle?
38123Does it concern the Count de Sonde, too?
38123Has any one seen my daughter?
38123Have I the pleasure of your acquaintance?
38123Have you heard about what happened at the villa the night we dined there?
38123Have you met the De Lancey Smythes, Miss Stuart?
38123Have you seen dear Maud and her father this morning?
38123Have you?
38123He does not know the countess, does he?
38123He refused to help? 38123 Honor bright, did you tell us everything, Bab Thurston?"
38123How can I tell, child?
38123How can you accuse me of any such thing?
38123How can you be so cruel, Ruth?
38123How can you be so cruel?
38123How could one help being happy, surrounded by all this beauty? 38123 How could the wrecking of our engine have any connection with you, Countess?"
38123How dared they do such a contemptible thing? 38123 How did you ever do it, Bab?"
38123How do you do, Count? 38123 How far back does your family go?"
38123How is it that you call them the''Automobile Girls''? 38123 How much land have you around your castle, Count?"
38123How shall I ever get him in time? 38123 I want to warn you----""About the Count de Sonde?"
38123I wonder if Maud is coming back?
38123I wonder if he has been eavesdropping?
38123I wonder what the Countess Sophia''s history is?
38123I, athletic?
38123In what European country are there not old families, Monsieur?
38123Is it built on a mountain or in a valley?
38123Is it so beautiful?
38123Is n''t all this lovely?
38123Is n''t it delightful after the storm?
38123Is this another secret session?
38123Is your chateau on a hill or in a valley?
38123Is your engine broken?
38123Is your mistress insane, Jim?
38123It was an attempt to rob the countess, was it not?
38123Mademoiselle,whispered a voice that made the blood of a second red domino tingle,"is it all arranged?"
38123Marian, my darling, are you all right?
38123Maud will not be easy to fool, and what if the count gets the right pair?
38123Maud, wo n''t you come up to our room to- night after the dance?
38123Mean?
38123Miss Thorne,said Mr. Stuart, when they were all seated,"could you not be persuaded to visit the outer world?
38123Mr. Stuart, would it be too much to ask you to assist me into the cabin?
38123Must I always bring ill- luck to you?
38123Must the Count de Sonde be permitted always to come along with us and Maud?
38123Need we to fear the Frenchman, Monsieur Duval?
38123No?
38123Now, Barbara Thurston, what did Marian Smythe have to say to you?
38123Or do you think it would be better to have me make matters clear?
38123Papa, let us stop here and have tea?
38123See how they have piled up over there? 38123 Shall I inform you, then, and your young friends, whom I now see approaching?"
38123Shall I tell them, Bab?
38123Shall I translate your expressions into a single word? 38123 Shall I try it in French and Italian for you?
38123Shall we tell her?
38123Shall you and I become members of this secret society, Madame de Villiers?
38123The count is quite an athlete, is n''t he, Maud?
38123Then suppose I wish for you, Bab?
38123This is exactly what Marian said:''Barbara are you going to dine with the countess to- morrow night?'' 38123 Well, Sherlock, what do you think?"
38123Well,replied Bab,"what of it?
38123Were there no men on that part of the beach when the baby was drowning? 38123 Were you trying to warn me about anything?
38123What are you doing here?
38123What are you two girls whispering about?
38123What business can you have with me, Monsieur Duval?
38123What can his object be in following you?
38123What do people usually do at this hour?
38123What do you mean, Marian, by''the man with whom I had to deal''? 38123 What do you mean, Ruth?"
38123What have I done to be arrested? 38123 What is it, Mollie?"
38123What is the matter? 38123 What kind of compact, child?"
38123What kind of desperado organization is this?
38123What old man?
38123What on earth does that mean?
38123What seems to be the trouble, Sallie?
38123What shall I do?
38123What''s your opinion of the Count de Sonde, Barbara?
38123Whatever possessed you and Miss Thurston to rush madly into the water after a child you never saw before?
38123Where have you been keeping yourself, Marian?
38123Where is Aunt Sallie?
38123Where is Marian?
38123Where is Maud Warren?
38123Where is her family, Jim?
38123Where is it?
38123Which one is the count?
38123Which one of you is Bab? 38123 Which would you rather be, a Sphinx or a chatterbox?"
38123Who gave you this, boy?
38123Who is the other man near him?
38123Who told you such a dreadful falsehood?
38123Whom do you mean?
38123Whose work is this?
38123Why German?
38123Why did she shake her head at you, Bab?
38123Why did you warn us not to dine with the countess? 38123 Why do n''t you start a song?"
38123Why do you ask, Mademoiselle?
38123Why do you ask?
38123Why is Palm Beach an accident?
38123Why not?
38123Why?
38123Will you see Miss Thorne first, Jim, and explain our plight to her?
38123Will you, for a few days, carry a paper for me? 38123 Wo n''t the count be suspicious on seeing five Mauds and change his plans?"
38123Wo n''t you come for a sail? 38123 Wo n''t you even tell me why you told us to come home early if we did go?"
38123Wo n''t you sing, Countess?
38123Wo n''t you take a stroll on the beach with us, Maud? 38123 Would you indeed?"
38123You are quite athletic, are you not?
38123You do n''t think it is going to rain, do you?
38123You do not like it here?
38123You have some very old families in Germany also, have you not?
38123You saw my signal, did n''t you?
38123You wo n''t fail us?
38123Your father does n''t approve of him, and do n''t you think he knows best?
38123*****"Well, fair and beautiful ladies, are you quite ready for a sail on the Grand Canal?
38123Am I not always at the command of the''Automobile Girls''?
38123And had this stupid girl believed what she had heard?
38123And what part could this ferocious looking old man possibly have in the drama?
38123And what secret understanding was there between those two people?
38123Are you not happy, Cousine?"
38123But did I not hear some one call the Count de Sonde?
38123But how are we to find a horse and wagon?
38123But may I ask you to bring Miss Stuart and the girls here to- morrow afternoon?
38123But tell me, what is your opinion of the Countess Sophia von Stolberg?
38123But what can money, alone, do for a motherless girl?"
38123But what of the fifth red domino, the hostess of the great ball?
38123But what topic was not dangerous?
38123But where is the chateau of the De Sonde family?"
38123But who could enjoy a banquet under such conditions?
38123But why should Madame de Villiers think the safety of the Countess Sophia of more importance than that of the four"Automobile Girls?"
38123But why should such an idle question cause annoyance?
38123But why?"
38123CHAPTER VI THE COUNTESS SOPHIA To be at luncheon with a real countess?
38123CHAPTER XI WHEELS WITHIN WHEELS"Shall we go to the countess at once, Ruth?"
38123Ca n''t you trust me with your secret, Marian?"
38123Could it be possible that they might be invited to eat food paid for by money gained dishonestly?
38123Could it be that Mrs. De Lancey Smythe had been whispering tales about the countess in Maud''s ears?
38123Could it be that he, too, was curious to discover to a certainty the Countess Sophia von Stolberg''s nationality?
38123Could she be jesting?
38123Did she mean that all the ghosts of her past still waited in the house to welcome unexpected visitors?
38123Did she pause a moment before she answered?
38123Did you hear anything?"
38123Did you know what was to happen?
38123Did you notice who it was?"
38123Do n''t you think it would be fun to motor over to the big ostrich farm and have our luncheon there under the trees?"
38123Do you suppose Maud Warren can really care for him?"
38123Do you suppose, by any chance, that we shall have rain?
38123Do you think she is an impostor?"
38123Do you think we had better go?"
38123Do you understand?"
38123Do young girls run motor cars in your country?
38123Duval?"
38123Duval?"
38123Finally Bab whispered to Ruth:"Do n''t you think we had better go upstairs for our wraps?
38123Grace, will you and Mollie explain to Aunt Sallie where we are going?"
38123Had Mrs. De Lancey Smythe gone to meet the Frenchman, and, if so why did she not do so openly?
38123Had some one persuaded the widow to make this appeal, or was she genuinely attracted by the young French nobleman?
38123Have you heard anything about her?"
38123Have you your wraps and bonnets?
38123He ran away?"
38123How are you, Monsieur Duval?"
38123How could she manage without being observed?
38123I do not wish to seem inquisitive but was the motive of these rascals common robbery?"
38123I suppose you will marry?"
38123I wonder if we could manage to save her in any other way?"
38123I wonder what they are after?"
38123If we are going to see a great deal of the countess, how shall we manage?
38123Is Grace''s guitar on hand?"
38123Is he here?"
38123Is it not one of your old southern songs?"
38123Is it not so?"
38123Is n''t that the motto, girls?
38123Is not that what you call it in English?"
38123Is this not so?"
38123Let me see?
38123Madame de Villiers, are you not afraid to sleep alone?"
38123Now, is not that exciting?"
38123Or was it the enormous bunch of daffodils in a cut glass bowl on the table that lent the place its charm?
38123Or, is it simply that you do not like the countess?"
38123Perhaps she was German?
38123Shall we ask her to take a walk with us along the Beach?"
38123Shall we go into the garden?"
38123Shall we slip out with her, and see her home?"
38123Smythe?"
38123So you expect to visit France next summer?"
38123Stuart?"
38123Suddenly the countess began to sing again in a low voice:"Knowest thou the land?"
38123Suppose we give a picnic?
38123The Count de Sonde is----""Is what?"
38123Then as if anxious to change the subject:"Have you been to the countess''s villa lately?"
38123Then he is not a friend of yours?"
38123Then what could the countess mean?
38123Warren?"
38123Was it about that mysterious document that he was now writing to the countess?
38123Was it the bare highly polished floor, with only the Persian rug to break its shining surface?
38123Was it the foreign cut of his dark suit, conspicuous among the crowds of white ones worn by most of the men at Palm Beach?
38123Was that a noise?
38123Was the chauffeur a confederate of the plotters or had he been hired to make the run knowing nothing of the details?
38123We must be very faithful to each other, dear fellow members?"
38123What could she say?
38123What did the person say?"
38123What do you wish, little lady?"
38123What had she heard?
38123What has happened?"
38123What have you ever asked her to explain?
38123What is the lady''s peculiarity?"
38123What must she do?
38123What shall we do to her, girls?"
38123What was Maud going to say?
38123What was it that Marian had feared might happen, and why did her mother leave the hotel in that stealthy mysterious manner?
38123What was that?
38123What was the explanation of it all?
38123What was the meaning of it all?
38123What''s new, chilluns?"
38123Where''s the nearest house or village?"
38123Who is that frightful old man?"
38123Why did you have to risk your life in that way?"
38123Why do you ask?"
38123Why do you avoid me so?"
38123Why had the Countess Sophia von Stolberg refused to prosecute the two foreigners who had deliberately insulted her?
38123Why should Madame de Villiers look frightened instead of angry?
38123Why should he pretend he had visited at the Chateau de Sonde?
38123Will you come, Countess?"
38123Will you do this for me, little Mollie?
38123Will you forgive me?"
38123Will you help me Stuart, for''auld lang syne''?"
38123Will you not sing a song of your country, Monsieur?"
38123Will you remember that I had nothing to do with it, and that I mean to prevent it if I can?"
38123Wo n''t you let me introduce some new friends to you, who are going to sail with us?"
38123Would Barbara and Ruth remember what the secret signal meant?
38123Would Mr. Warren still be opposed to the marriage?"
38123cried Miss Sallie,"what will that poor soul do next?
42748A gold mine, eh?
42748A lost mine?
42748Accident?
42748Ai n''t much on the talk, be ye, stranger?
42748Ai n''t that what the kids cry when they see a busted auto?
42748Ai n''t there goin''to be a trial?
42748Ai n''t this the Grand Hotel, where I was to meet the boys that befriended old Jim Nestor?
42748All filed reg''lar an''''cordin''to law, I s''pose?
42748All quiet?
42748All ready, boys?
42748An''who might you be?
42748And be killed?
42748And how did he and Pender come together?
42748And what do you propose?
42748Anything happened?
42748Are n''t you going to file and record that claim?
42748Are snow storms common here the end of September?
42748Are there any bears around here?
42748Are we in any danger?
42748Are you bound for any particular place?
42748Are you hurt?
42748Are you sure he was here?
42748Are you sure you hit the tire, Bill?
42748Are you sure you will be all right now?
42748Are you sure, Bill?
42748Aren''t-- we go- going a-- a-- trifle fast?
42748Batter- cakes?
42748Be you the doctor?
42748But are you hurt?
42748But ca n''t I file this paper?
42748But can we establish a claim to it?
42748But what about leaving you behind?
42748But what can their object be?
42748But what have you there?
42748But what''s the trouble up ahead?
42748But what''s the use of rubbin''our misfortune in?
42748But what''s to be done?
42748But what-- why-- how?
42748But, Mr. Sheriff, had n''t you better take some help along? 42748 Ca n''t we save him?"
42748Ca n''t we stop and get some water?
42748Ca n''t you see without having to be told?
42748Can we go on?
42748Can we have one?
42748Come, are you going to stay there all day?
42748Did you catch Noddy?
42748Did you ever see an automobile turn a somersault?
42748Did you get him?
42748Did you see any one?
42748Did you see them?
42748Did you shoot right through the pile and come out on the other side?
42748Did you think I''d run you down?
42748Did you walk all the way?
42748Do you mean to stop the car and let them git ahead of us?
42748Do you s''pose they kept on goin''all night?
42748Do you suppose some one came and carried him off?
42748Do you suppose they will try to get to the mine ahead of us?
42748Do you think they could make a trip away out West in their car?
42748Do you think you can stand it as far as Chicago?
42748Do you want us to trail along and pull you again if you get stuck?
42748Gentlemen?
42748Go close enough so one of us can jump in the carriage?
42748Gone crazy or are you gittin''your second childhood?
42748Gone?
42748Got what?
42748Got ye in kind of a tight place, did n''t they?
42748Guns?
42748Had n''t we better skip?
42748Had we better start right away?
42748Had yer suppers?
42748Has anything happened?
42748Have they escaped?
42748Have we any water aboard?
42748Have we any, Jerry?
42748Have you anything to say before we string you up?
42748Have you boys got guns?
42748Have you got the rattlesnake?
42748He did n''t, eh? 42748 Hob- nails, did you say, eh?"
42748How about Berry and Pender?
42748How about it?
42748How are you?
42748How can you tell?
42748How did you ever get down there?
42748How do you boys like it?
42748How do you know?
42748How far is it to the Government office?
42748How will you manage it?
42748How you goin''to git rid of the tree?
42748How you goin''to prevent it?
42748How?
42748Howdy, strangers?
42748Howdy?
42748I say, have you a rope?
42748I take it you''re in charge here?
42748I wonder how they got in shape so quickly after we took their batteries?
42748I wonder if it made''em lay up for repairs?
42748I wonder if they have done any mischief to ours?
42748I wonder if we''ll get any letters by this mail?
42748I wonder what Noddy''s game is?
42748I wonder what he is doing in New York?
42748I wonder what''s the trouble now?
42748I wonder who did it?
42748I wonder who it is?
42748I''ll explain it all,said Nestor;"but, first, had n''t you better fix these batteries on our machine?
42748In for what?
42748Is he dead?
42748Is he so valuable?
42748Is he very sick?
42748Is n''t that a motor cycle leaning against the building?
42748Is that all, pardner?
42748Is that thunder?
42748Is the auto smashed?
42748Is there no way out?
42748Is this a hold- up?
42748It looks as if they had us, do n''t it?
42748It''s healthier where I am,said Dalsett,"but, just to show you that we have the advantage-- how''s that?"
42748It''s my machine, ai n''t it?
42748Let us through, will you? 42748 Matter?"
42748Must we start right away?
42748Not getting afraid, are you, Chunky?
42748Not so bad for a starter, eh, Ned?
42748Now I wonder what we''d better do?
42748Now what I want to know is, can you boys go there, or near there, in your choo- choo cart? 42748 Now, then, wot''s all this rush about?"
42748Off his trolley?
42748Oh, it''s you, is it?
42748Oh, that''s your game, is it?
42748One of the professor''s grasshoppers bite you?
42748Queer that both Noddy and Jack should turn thieves, is n''t it?
42748Queer, is n''t it?
42748Rattlesnake?
42748Rattlesnake?
42748S''pose we could take a few turns?
42748Shall I let''em go or stop''em?
42748Shall we shoot?
42748Shall we take after Noddy and Pender?
42748Shall we wait here until he gets well?
42748Shall we wing one or two just to show we have bullets?
42748Smell that?
42748So that''s their plan, eh?
42748So you got it after all, eh?
42748So you''re here, are you?
42748Speaking of sudden stops, I wonder what has become of the man in the green car?
42748The President?
42748The doctor? 42748 The question is, shall we take the old man back in the auto with us, or run back to town and bring out a doctor?"
42748Then what good is it?
42748Then what made you yell''Git a horse''?
42748Then whose was it?
42748Then you think we ought to let the boys go?
42748Then, why not come along with us?
42748Thought you was smart to take our batteries, did n''t you?
42748Want any help?
42748Want to come along?
42748Was n''t yours?
42748Well, boys,exclaimed Mr. Wakefield at that instant, entering their room,"are you all ready for supper?"
42748Well, what''s to be done?
42748Well?
42748Well?
42748What about filing the claim?
42748What about my horse?
42748What ails you?
42748What are they coming this way for?
42748What are you going to do about the miner?
42748What are you going to do?
42748What are you going to do?
42748What are you going to do?
42748What are you going to do?
42748What are you going to do?
42748What became of that chap with one eye and a scar on his left cheek?
42748What cave?
42748What difference does it make?
42748What do you mean?
42748What do you mean?
42748What do you say, Chunky?
42748What do you want most?
42748What for?
42748What for?
42748What game?
42748What if I have?
42748What in the world did you do to them?
42748What is it, a rattlesnake?
42748What is it? 42748 What is it?"
42748What is it?
42748What is it?
42748What is it?

42748What''s the matter, have they taken our machine?
42748What''s the matter-- want to take another nag?
42748What''s the matter? 42748 What''s the matter?"
42748What''s the matter?

42748What''s your hurry, mate?
42748When can you start?
42748Where am I? 42748 Where am I?
42748Where are we?
42748Where is Jerry?
42748Where is he?
42748Where is it?
42748Where is it?
42748Where is the patient?
42748Where might they be located?
42748Where ye from?
42748Where ye goin''?
42748Where''d you come from?
42748Where''s Professor Snodgrass?
42748Where''s my specimen box?
42748Where? 42748 Who are they?"
42748Who are you?
42748Who do you think the crowd in charge of the other auto was?
42748Who said anything about a snake? 42748 Who says I fired a shot?"
42748Who''s sick?
42748Who''s stolen any nags around here?
42748Who?
42748Who?
42748Who?
42748Who?
42748Whose turn to crank her up?
42748Why ca n''t we?
42748Why ca n''t you?
42748Why do n''t you help me, Jack?
42748Why not?
42748Why not?
42748Why not?
42748Why so, young man?
42748Why, ai n''t you heard? 42748 Why, what''s all the fuss about?"
42748Will it last long?
42748Will it take long now?
42748Will they-- will they kill us?
42748Will you please wait ten minutes before you make a final decision?
42748Will you sell that machine for three thousand dollars?
42748Would you like to see it?
42748You do n''t mean real Indians?
42748Ai n''t them what you want?"
42748Am I right?"
42748Are we right?"
42748Are you boys coming along?
42748Are you tryin''to fool me?"
42748But how do you feel?"
42748But what do you want of it now?"
42748But what''s the use talkin''?
42748But would n''t we have to wait until next spring?
42748Can you go as far as Arizona in that wagon of yours?"
42748Do you deny that you disturbed the peace?"
42748Have a nugget?
42748Have n''t we had excitement enough for one day?"
42748He looked sharply at Jerry and exclaimed:"Oh, you''ve come back, have you?
42748How far ahead is it now?"
42748How much do I owe you?"
42748Noddy called, in a little louder whisper,"can you sneak away?
42748Now I wonder what I''d better do?"
42748Now will your folks let you go?"
42748Shall I turn around and accompany you?"
42748Slade?"
42748So the papers are filed, eh?
42748The next instant Jerry fired in the air, and called out:"Who goes there?"
42748The other car ca n''t beat us, can it?"
42748The place on fire?"
42748They had covered several miles and were descending a long hill, when Jerry called out:"What''s that ahead, there?"
42748What happened?"
42748What happened?"
42748What is it?"
42748What was that?"
42748What''s that?"
42748What''s this?
42748What''s your name and where did you come from?"
42748Where are you?"
42748Where is the boy who took my gold?"
42748Who do you suppose is in the car?"
42748Who robbed him, I wonder?"
42748Why?"
42748cried the cowboy, angrily, but not returning the fire,"do n''t you know better than to shoot a gentleman''s hat off?"
17095''Cause did n''t the bloodhounds find the runaway slaves in Uncle Tom''s Cabin?
17095A scratched boy?
17095A way to do what?
17095About my wonderful pain destroyer?
17095All what does?
17095And do n''t you want to see the lions?
17095And how''s Fluffy, our squirrel?
17095And is he coming?
17095And may I have a ride in it?
17095And what about finding Fred?
17095And where?
17095Any what, either?
17095Anybody hurt back there?
17095Are n''t they having a good time?
17095Are n''t you afraid to try to catch him?
17095Are n''t you going?
17095Are n''t you, Bunny? 17095 Are they fighting?
17095Are we all right?
17095Are we any nearer the trees, so it will be easier to catch hold of one of them with a loop of the rope?
17095Are we going to stay in the auto while we''re here?
17095Are you going to send Dix back again?
17095Are you sure about it?
17095Are you sure he did n''t go to the home of some neighbor or of a relative?
17095Are you sure he is n''t somewhere in the auto, under one of the cots asleep?
17095Are you sure you heard Mr. and Mrs. Ward talking about Fred?
17095Are you_ sure_ you two want to go?
17095Bunny in that auto? 17095 But are you doing all this talking, Bunny, just to have company for Splash?"
17095But how are we going to get my darling Sallie Malinda back?
17095But how are we going to_ get_ out?
17095But what about Dix and Splash?
17095But what about giving him something to eat?
17095But what can have become of Dix?
17095But what makes it go?
17095But what''s the idea, Bunny?
17095But why did n''t he telephone?
17095But, children, what do you mean? 17095 Ca n''t we go in swimming?"
17095Ca n''t you take us, Uncle Tad?
17095Can we stop over a day or so here and there?
17095Can you fix it, or make him a new wooden leg?
17095Can you tell if he looks anything like Fred Ward, Daddy?
17095Can you tell us who he really is?
17095Caught what?
17095Could n''t Dix take her back?
17095Did Fred fall down?
17095Did he bite you?
17095Did n''t he scare you?
17095Did n''t you ever see a minstrel before?
17095Did n''t you see something gray run across the grass, and did n''t Dix run after it?
17095Did the farmer tell you how Dix came to lead off his cow?
17095Did they shake any water on you?
17095Did you both see this? 17095 Did you have far to go?"
17095Did you hear that?
17095Did you know the boy, and did he say where the lion attacked him?
17095Did you see him?
17095Did you see it?
17095Did you see the cow first, and would n''t Dix let you have a share in bringing her here? 17095 Did you?
17095Dix has got a_ what_?
17095Do n''t we, Momsie?
17095Do n''t you folks want to go along? 17095 Do n''t you think the squirrel would rather be in the woods?"
17095Do n''t you want to see the elephants?
17095Do you have many shows passing through here, with musicians who play to draw a crowd?
17095Do you know anything about doctoring?
17095Do you know anything about him?
17095Do you mean a campfire or a bonfire?
17095Do you mean to ask somebody going past in another automobile to take Dix to Bellemere?
17095Do you see the muddy marks and the bits of leaves and grass caught on the fence?
17095Do you suppose it would do them any harm?
17095Do you think he could have been Fred?
17095Do you think it would be of any use to inquire, Daddy?
17095Do you think there is any danger?
17095Do you think they''ll sleep out all night?
17095Do? 17095 Does Sallie Malinda give a good light, Daddy?"
17095Does an owl bite?
17095Does he know where Fred is?
17095Eh? 17095 Frightened?
17095Has anything happened?
17095Has anything more happened?
17095Has he been picking berries?
17095Have the elephants gone past yet?
17095Have you got yours, Sue?
17095He can ride in the auto now, ca n''t he, Daddy? 17095 He probably meant it kindly, but what will the man think whose cow she is?
17095He''d know him even if he had on a Hallowe''en false face, would n''t he?
17095How can Dix find Fred?
17095How can I get him back? 17095 How can he?"
17095How did Fred come to go to Portland? 17095 How did you come to do it?"
17095How did you happen to see the boy?
17095How long ago was it that you found the scratched boy?
17095How soon shall we be there?
17095How?
17095Huh? 17095 Hum, the pudding''s gone, is it?"
17095I mean Dix would n''t eat much more than Splash, would he?
17095I want to know if he is Fred Ward, who has run away from his home next door to us?
17095I wonder how we''re going to get Dix back home? 17095 I wonder if they''ll have a parade?
17095I wonder where he went to after clawing me?
17095In a hotel?
17095Is it different?
17095Is it the circus coming back again?
17095Is n''t it a nice place?
17095Is n''t it wonderful?
17095Is that dog following us once more?
17095Is that dog savage?
17095Is that thunder?
17095Is that your name?
17095Is the break a bad one?
17095Is there any way we could find out?
17095Is there anything else new?
17095It''s funny where he went, is n''t it?
17095May I ask just one more question?
17095May we go there after we have eaten?
17095No danger? 17095 Nor the tigers?"
17095Now it would n''t hurt an awful lot to take Dix with us, would it?
17095Oh, Bunny, are you hurt?
17095Oh, Bunny, do you think she falled out? 17095 Oh, Mother, just a second-- until we see how the auto is fixed different?"
17095Oh, and may we go too?
17095Oh, is that all? 17095 Oh, what is the matter?"
17095Oh, what shall I do?
17095Oh, wo n''t we have fun watching them go past?
17095Oh, you mean Professor Rombodno Prosondo?
17095Please may n''t we go?
17095Say, Mother, are n''t we going to the circus?
17095See it, Bunny? 17095 See what?"
17095Shall we go? 17095 Shall you tell them about the lion being loose?"
17095Tell us if your banjo player is really colored?
17095The side shows and_ everything_, and, please, Mother, may we have some peanuts and popcorn?
17095Then the lion did n''t get loose while the circus performance was going on?
17095Then you do n''t believe there is any danger?
17095There is n''t much you children forget, is there?
17095Two dogs are happier than one, are n''t they?
17095Was he hurt at school? 17095 Was it Fred?"
17095Was it funny? 17095 We are n''t afraid, are we, Bunny?"
17095We wo n''t go out to sea, will we?
17095Well then, wo n''t Dix find Fred the same way?
17095Well, I think Dix will help find him, do n''t you?
17095Well, now are you ready to tell us?
17095Well, what are we going to do?
17095Well, what in the world are we going to do with it?
17095Well, what will those dogs do next?
17095Well, what''s the matter now?
17095Well, what''s the use of being frightened until I see it?
17095Well,said Mr. Brown, after he had told Bunny, Sue and their mother about his plan,"do you think you''ll like it?"
17095Well?
17095Were we going too fast?
17095Wha- what good would that do, me pre- pre- tendin''that?
17095What about them?
17095What are we going to give the squirrel to eat?
17095What are we moving for, when it''s dark?
17095What could it be?
17095What did he do?
17095What did you do?
17095What do I mean? 17095 What do you mean, Bunny?
17095What do you mean, Mary?
17095What do you mean, sir?
17095What do you mean?
17095What do you think?
17095What does that mean?
17095What else is there?
17095What for, Mary?
17095What for?
17095What for?
17095What happened to him?
17095What has happened now?
17095What has happened?
17095What has happened?
17095What has happened?
17095What is it?
17095What kind of show we are giving?
17095What makes boys run away?
17095What makes you say that?
17095What makes you think so?
17095What makes you think so?
17095What scratched him?
17095What shall we do? 17095 What was it you came back for?"
17095What would we do with two dogs?
17095What''s disappearcesses?
17095What''s going on?
17095What''s that mean?
17095What''s that?
17095What''s that?
17095What''s the matter, Uncle Tad?
17095What''s the matter?
17095What''s the matter?
17095What''s the matter?
17095What''s the matter?
17095What''s the matter?
17095What''s the matter?
17095What''s the matter?
17095What''s this? 17095 What?"
17095What?
17095What_ can_ we do?
17095When did you find out he was gone?
17095Where are you going?
17095Where are you going?
17095Where are you going?
17095Where are you going?
17095Where can they stay?
17095Where did he come from, and where is he going? 17095 Where did you get it?"
17095Where do you think we shall stop for the night?
17095Where is Dix? 17095 Where is this rocky glen of yours where you say the lion jumped out at the boy?"
17095Where? 17095 Where?"
17095Who could it be but Fred? 17095 Who did n''t what?"
17095Who''s ready for dinner?
17095Why are n''t you in bed?
17095Why are you out of your bunks so early? 17095 Why did n''t George come and tell Fred''s father so he could stop him?"
17095Why do n''t you tie fast to a tree?
17095Why do you call him a''poor old lion''? 17095 Why not?"
17095Why should n''t we?
17095Why, what''s the matter, Bunny and Sue?
17095Why?
17095Will he''rest us?
17095Will you have lunch first?
17095Wo n''t it be_ great_ if we find him so soon?
17095Would we have bad luck if we did n''t?
17095You folks camping here?
17095You say you saw Fred Ward?
17095You will be careful, wo n''t you?
17095''Member how we played circus, Sue?"
17095A fire?"
17095An''the circus comin''to town?"
17095Are n''t there_ lady_ Teddy bears as well as_ gentlemen_?"
17095Are you one of the circus folks?"
17095Are you?"
17095As Uncle Tad started to row Sue cried:"But where''s Sallie Malinda?
17095As they entered the automobile Mrs. Brown heard them and called:"Who is there?"
17095BUNNY AT THE WHEEL 33 V. WHERE IS SPLASH?
17095Bunker not going?"
17095But is the squirrel hurt, Bunny?"
17095But where can I find him?"
17095But whether it''s a he or a she I suppose you''d like to have me go back for it, would n''t you?"
17095But----""What about the good news you have, Daddy?"
17095CHAPTER V WHERE IS SPLASH?
17095CHAPTER VII DIX IN TROUBLE"Is Dix really following us?"
17095CHAPTER XV WAS IT FRED?
17095CHAPTER XX DIX TO THE RESCUE"Where is the waterfall?"
17095CHAPTER XXIII THE SCRATCHED BOY"What''s that?
17095Did Uncle Tad bring his gun with him?"
17095Did a lion really get loose from the circus?"
17095Did he give any account of himself?"
17095Did he know we were going there?"
17095Did n''t you, you rascals?"
17095Do you know how to find Fred?"
17095Do you think Dix would really bring back an elephant?"
17095Do you think it could be Fred?"
17095Do you think we had better stay here and help them?"
17095Does it just keep falling?"
17095Finally Sue asked:"Bunny, are you asleep?"
17095Had n''t you better sleep in the automobile?"
17095He goes to school, does n''t he?"
17095He turned to look through the little window at the back of the front seat against which he leaned, and asked:"What''s the matter?"
17095He will never be a poet, will he Daddy?"
17095How did that happen?"
17095How did you manage?"
17095If they do, and it goes past our house-- I mean our automobile-- we can see it better than anybody, ca n''t we?"
17095Is Mr. Jason ill?"
17095Is it really and truly a squirrel?"
17095Is n''t my hair sticking up seven ways, Mother?"
17095Is some one hurt?"
17095Is that all right, Momsie?"
17095Is that what he calls himself?"
17095It was as if Dix said:"Well, what do you think about it, Splash?
17095It''s a fine day; is n''t it?"
17095Live around here?"
17095Mr. Brown leaned out of the back door and called to him:"What is the matter?
17095Oh, Dix, you found me, did n''t you?"
17095Or did you make it up or dream it?"
17095Poor old Tobyhanna bite?"
17095Say, Bunny, does Dix snore like:''Who?
17095Shall we go?"
17095Silently he watched the smooth waters glide down like some ribbon, and then, turning to his father, he asked:"Is this all they do?"
17095Sure an''what in the world are ye doin''?"
17095Then she asked:"Momsie, do you think Dix took Sallie Malinda away?"
17095Then, finally, Dr. Perry asked:"Is it a joke you are making?"
17095There are some animals around here, are n''t there?"
17095Uncle Tad seemed to enjoy himself, too, though, every once in a while he would lean over and say to Bunny and Sue:"Are n''t you tired?
17095WAS IT FRED?
17095Want to go with me, Bunny Brown?"
17095We had lots of fun, did n''t we?"
17095Well, what''s the matter with you, Splash?"
17095What about the good news you were going to tell us?"
17095What are we going to do?"
17095What are we going to do?"
17095What''s the matter?"
17095What''s this you''re talking about?"
17095What''s this?
17095When are you going, Daddy?"
17095Where are they, Bunny?"
17095Where did you fight?"
17095Where is Splash?"
17095Where''s my Teddy bear?
17095Who- ooo?''"
17095Who?
17095Who?
17095Why ca n''t we call up Mr. Ward and ask him if we can take his dog along with us?"
17095Why?
17095Wo n''t you come in?"
17095Wo n''t you, Daddy?"
17095You are n''t thinking of going there, are you?"
17095she cried,"have n''t we got just the bestest daddy in the whole world?"
12559''The Washington News?'' 12559 And are n''t you Chaperon Extraordinary and Ministering Angel Plentipotentiary to the''Automobile Girls''?
12559And spoil my good time with five charming girls?
12559Are n''t there any speed regulations in this part of the world, Hugh?
12559Are n''t you and Aunt Sallie going home with me, Father?
12559Are n''t you going to open your flowers, Harriet?
12559Are you actually going sight- seeing again to- day before the reception? 12559 Are you ready to go with me, Elmer?"
12559Are you still in here? 12559 Aunt Sallie,"gasped Ruth,"are you a wizard?"
12559Bab, would you mind leaving me alone while I dress? 12559 Barbara Thurston, what do you mean by running away by yourself?"
12559Barbara Thurston, will you be quiet and tell me what has happened to you?
12559Barbara, are you awake?
12559But I do want you to do me a favor, and I wonder if you will do it?
12559But are you sure you will be in? 12559 But how do you think he ever accomplished it?"
12559But what about you, Peter? 12559 But what can we do?"
12559But wo n''t you tell me why you ask me to be so exceedingly unaccommodating, Miss Moore?
12559But would you be disappointed if I do not go? 12559 But, Bab, what about our Lenox friends, who spend their winters in Washington?"
12559Ca n''t you possibly buy it, child?
12559Ca n''t you say you wish the same thing that I do, and that you believe our motor trips will last forever?
12559Did he know I was upstairs?
12559Did you arrive home safely the other day?
12559Did you get it, Bab?
12559Did you get the yellow ribbon, Mollie?
12559Did you have to tell Ruth?
12559Do n''t you have a monthly allowance?
12559Do n''t you think we had better go back a little, Charlie?
12559Do the young ladies know anything of my key?
12559Do you expect us to sit here in this freezing dirty old room half the night while you go around looking up a magistrate?
12559Do you know anything of the key, Miss Barbara?
12559Do you mean that, instead of the actual papers, you saved me by substituting blank papers for these valuable ones? 12559 Do you really tell your father everything?"
12559Do you suppose, for one instant, that we are going to see Hugh Post drive off, the only man among three girls? 12559 Do you think, Bab,"Mollie asked,"that we could ask Ruth to lend us the money?
12559Do you understand?
12559Do you wish to be rich, or famous, or to write a great book or a play?
12559Does Miss Moore happen to know how she was hurt, Daughter?
12559Father,Harriet whispered timidly,"ca n''t you wait a few minutes longer?
12559Father,exclaimed Harriet,"why are you boring the girls to death with so much information?
12559Harriet, have you seen Ruth''s automobile?
12559Harriet, is that you?
12559Have I your permission to enter your divine apartment? 12559 Have some posies, girls?"
12559Have you an idea who stole my papers?
12559Have you any daughters?
12559Have you any special reason for needing Aunt Sallie, Bab? 12559 Have you said good- bye to Harriet?"
12559How about you and Mollie, Bab?
12559How did Peter Dillon get us away from that wretched jail in such a short time when we thought we might have to stay there all night?
12559How did you know we were going to Mrs. Wilson''s tea? 12559 How do you do, Miss Moore?"
12559How do you know, Mrs. Wilson, that I have not received his permission to enter this room? 12559 How is a man to find you if you will hide behind curtains?"
12559How is darling Aunt Sallie? 12559 How is your head, Bab, dear?"
12559How much did the gown cost, Mollie?
12559How much is the dress worth, Madame?
12559I am not tired, Mrs. Thurston, are you?
12559I beg your pardon,Bab began impulsively,"but are you looking for some one?"
12559I flatter?
12559I say, Miss Thurston, why ca n''t you make up your mind to like me?
12559I wonder if you would do a fellow a favor some day?
12559I wonder whom the girl could have been spying upon to have gotten herself into such trouble? 12559 If you could have one wish, that would surely be granted, what would you wish?"
12559If you do n''t mind, wo n''t you sit and talk to me for a little while before this cozy open fire? 12559 If you wish to know a particular address why do you not ask your friends, the Hamlins, about it?"
12559If you wished the directory, why did you not ask Mr. Hamlin to lend it to you? 12559 Is Miss Hamlin not with you?"
12559Is Mr. Hamlin looking for Harriet?
12559Is Mrs. Wilson here?
12559Is it a burglar, Bab?
12559Is it true that Mr. William Hamlin is now a worshiper at your shrine?
12559Is that your message?
12559Is there any question you wish to ask me?
12559Is there anything I can get for you, girls?
12559It is most improper that I say so, is it not?
12559It''s a woman''s privilege, is n''t it?
12559It''s the lady that''s a- runnin''the car, ai n''t it? 12559 Lige?"
12559May I find Mr. Hamlin for you?
12559May I keep my rose- bud for the same purpose?
12559Miss Moore does not love me, does she? 12559 Mollie, what do you mean?"
12559Mother, can you let me have some money?
12559Mr. Hamlin,Grace asked timidly,"would you mind telling me what are the duties of the Secretary of State?
12559Mr. Meyers,she pleaded,"wo n''t you take me back in your car to look for my friends?
12559Mrs. Thurston,Mr. Stuart spoke slowly,"why would you not come to my house in Chicago to make us a visit when I asked you, nearly a year ago?"
12559Must we go, Father?
12559My dear Miss Moore, what has happened? 12559 Not in her room?
12559Please,the maid said,"Mr. Hamlin wants to know if Miss Harriet left a key with you?
12559Really, Miss Thurston, do n''t you think you are rather impertinent?
12559Ruth, is there any place where we can be alone?
12559Ruth,Bab asked suddenly,"do you like Harriet''s friend, Peter Dillon?
12559Shall we ever see the President?
12559She was n''t so easy to manage as you thought, was she? 12559 Suppose, Barbara, Grace and Hugh Post go along with me, Harriet?"
12559Surely you do n''t suspect me of dark designs, do you? 12559 The gown?"
12559The''Automobile Girls''hate mysteries, do n''t they, Bab? 12559 Then kindly tell me how my key came into your possession?"
12559Then who, in Heaven''s name, is guilty of this dreadful act?
12559Then wo n''t you be seated?
12559Told us what?
12559Well what are some of them?
12559Well, how do you happen to be so intimate at the Chinese minister''s?
12559Well, where is the justice of the peace or whatever man we ought to see about this wretched business?
12559What are you doing, prying among Mr. Hamlin''s papers, when he is out of the house? 12559 What are you going to do with the fifty dollars, Bab?"
12559What can we wear to the President''s reception to- morrow, Bab?
12559What do you take me for, Miss Thurston? 12559 What girl is n''t cleverer than a man?"
12559What has Miss Stuart got Hugh Post and Elmer Wilson with her for, if they ca n''t show her the way to town?
12559What have you done with my state papers?
12559What is the matter, Mollie?
12559What is the trouble?
12559What on earth made you go in there?
12559What on earth was that, Barbara?
12559What shall we do, Bab?
12559What shall we say, Bab?
12559When is it to be, Father?
12559Where are Mollie and Grace?
12559Where are the poplar trees planted along this avenue by Thomas Jefferson, Ruth?
12559Where did you get that wonderful gown? 12559 Where''s Father?"
12559Which of the three Graces do you mean to devote yourself to this afternoon, Peter? 12559 Who, Ruth?
12559Whom did you wish to see? 12559 Whom do you mean, my child?"
12559Whom do you think we have seen?
12559Whose dress is that, Madame? 12559 Why are you so anxious to see the directory?"
12559Why do n''t you say something, Bab?
12559Why, Harriet, are you getting more clothes?
12559Why, what do you mean?
12559Why, yes; why not?
12559Will Uncle Robert be very angry with you, Ruth, for being arrested?
12559Will you leave me at my house, Charlie?
12559Wo n''t I be an agreeable guest, Ruth?
12559Wo n''t it be wonderful? 12559 Wo n''t you have a glass of water?"
12559Wo n''t you try to find Mr. Meyers, Uncle?
12559Worth? 12559 Would you girls like to do the stores with me?"
12559Would you like me to guess who you are?
12559Would you mind my asking you a question?
12559Yes, is n''t it?
12559Yes?
12559You are Miss Thurston, are n''t you?
12559You are sure you wo n''t mind how long I take to pay you back, Harriet?
12559You ca n''t tell? 12559 You certainly do n''t object to my telling Barbara of your accusations, Uncle William?"
12559You do n''t really mean that you wish me to take one of Mr. Hamlin''s papers without his knowledge, and then give the paper to you?
12559You do not remember me, do you?
12559You have n''t been getting engaged, have you, Harriet?
12559You have n''t lost your wits, have you, child?
12559You say a young woman sold my papers? 12559 You sent for me?"
12559You?
12559*****"How shall we divide our party for the motor ride, Ruth?"
12559*****"Oh, Aunt Sallie, dear, please are you awake?"
12559A low contralto voice said distinctly:"What do you mean by stealing in here to search among Mr. Hamlin''s papers?"
12559Am I not right?"
12559And has that anything to do with your message to me?"
12559And how was she to find her way there, without being found out either by Mr. Hamlin or any one of the girls?
12559And then, where will you be?"
12559And what is the use of worrying over such a small debt?
12559And what would Bab say when she saw it?
12559Are you ill?"
12559Are you not invited?"
12559Are you pleased, child?"
12559Are you tired?"
12559As for Mrs. Wilson?
12559Bab did not like to leave her, for what dreadful person might not stumble over the poor, unconscious girl?
12559Bab turned over sleepily and yawned:"Is n''t there always some water in the hall, Ruth?
12559Bab, did some boxes come for me this afternoon?
12559Bubble calling to her out of the darkness?
12559But I suppose we can get up guests enough to fill two automobiles, ca n''t we?"
12559But did she not hear the ever- welcome sound of a friendly voice?
12559But do n''t you think you are rather ungrateful?
12559But how do you think a newspaper man could have unearthed this plot?
12559But how else was she to be saved from the weight of her stern father''s displeasure?
12559But how was Barbara to locate a pawn shop in Washington?
12559But how was Harriet to see Charlie Meyers?
12559But if anything disagreeable happens to you,"Marjorie Moore gave Bab a reassuring smile,"telephone me, will you?
12559But may I therefore present myself to little''Miss No One''?
12559But what could Barbara do?
12559But what had Peter Dillon to do with it?
12559But what harm could it do Mr. Hamlin for Barbara to pick up the book she desired?
12559But where are my other''Automobile Girls,''Mollie and Grace?"
12559But which one of you will go shopping with me this morning?"
12559But would Mr. Hamlin have inquired of Barbara her reason for desiring the directory?
12559CHAPTER IV AT THE CHINESE EMBASSY"Shall we eat our luncheon with chopsticks to- day?"
12559CHAPTER XXII OIL ON THE TROUBLED WATERS"What does all this mean, William Hamlin?"
12559Ca n''t you hear me?"
12559Could a certain distinguished and wisely silent Oriental gentleman be responsible for the thrilling drama about to be enacted?
12559Could it be possible that Marjorie Moore had discovered Mrs. Wilson''s and Peter''s plot?
12559Could it be that this young and lovely looking woman was the mother of Elmer Wilson?
12559Could n''t you let me write a sketch about you and your adventures, and put your photographs on the society page of our Sunday edition?
12559Could she also have guessed Harriet''s part in it?
12559Did Marjorie Moore also suspect that an effort would be made to draw Barbara into this whirlpool of disgrace?
12559Did her visitor believe Bab would confide her opinion of Harriet to a complete stranger?
12559Dillon?"
12559Dillon?"
12559Dillon?"
12559Dillon?"
12559Do n''t you feel the same way, Mollie?"
12559Do n''t you think you could take me to look for them?
12559Do you suppose it would do any good if I were to call on Mrs. Wilson?
12559Do you think she would allow me to try it on her?"
12559Do you think so?"
12559Do you think they will be glad to have me for a sister?"
12559Do you understand?"
12559Does everyone try to get some one to do something for him in Washington?"
12559Does she, Barbara?
12559Had Barbara awakened at the Court of Pekin?
12559Had Marjorie Moore expected foul play and called on Bab to help her guard some one from harm?
12559Had he learned of her bill to her dressmaker?
12559Had she been wise in accepting Mrs. Wilson''s offer?
12559Hamlin?"
12559Has Elmer gone to work?
12559Have you ever been abroad?"
12559He is so stern; he would just send me home in disgrace, and then what would Mother and Aunt Sallie and Mr. Stuart say?
12559He leaned over and whispered softly:"How is the young woman we rescued the other night?
12559How dared Harriet Hamlin be so willful, so headstrong?
12559How had Mollie come by a gown that was more beautiful than anything Bab had ever seen her sister wear?
12559How have you managed to keep that big boy of yours so much in the dark about-- oh, a number of things?"
12559How is your mother?"
12559How long before she should see them again?
12559How was she to do it?
12559However did you do it?
12559I came to ask you if you would give me the pictures of the''Automobile Girls''for my paper?
12559It was Bab who exclaimed:"Oh, Miss Moore, you are not going to betray Harriet, are you?
12559It was so good of her to lend us the money was n''t it?"
12559Just guess whom we know in Washington?"
12559Marjorie Moore turned suddenly on Barbara;"Why should n''t I?"
12559May I have them?"
12559May I introduce her?
12559Mr. Dillon, will you go to Miss Moore''s paper?
12559Oh, Bab, what can we do?
12559Oh, Bab, what will happen?
12559Oh, Robert, what shall I do?
12559Oh, why is she so determined to be so reckless and so foolish?"
12559Once or twice Ruth called out:"Wo n''t you go a little slower in front, please?
12559Perhaps you would like to meet my daughter, Wee Tu?
12559Promise me you will grant no one a favor, no matter who asks it of you to- day?"
12559See that stunning woman just coming in at the door?
12559Shall I stay at home with you?"
12559Should she go forward?
12559Should she wear the frock that night?
12559So what can we do?"
12559Suppose Harriet were in the study?
12559Tell me?"
12559Then he said smoothly:"Miss Thurston, will you do me a favor?"
12559Then, what will become of Harriet?
12559There is only one thing for us to consider at present, and that is-- where is Harriet?"
12559Was Harriet in some worse peril?
12559Was not some state secret to be betrayed?
12559Well, what is it?"
12559What are your real duties at your legation?"
12559What arrangements do you want to make about paying it back?"
12559What could I wish in here?
12559What could the girl want with her?
12559What did it all mean?
12559What do you suppose Peter Dillon is doing with a letter written in Chinese?"
12559What do you suppose she was doing?"
12559What evidence have you?
12559What had been Mrs. Wilson''s object in lending her the money?
12559What is it?"
12559What little private wish of your own did you have in your mind?
12559What on earth could this talkative young woman wish of her?
12559What shall we do?
12559What should she do?
12559What was Harriet going to ask him?
12559What was it?
12559What was it?"
12559What''s the use?"
12559Where did you ever get hold of such an absurd idea?"
12559Where was she?
12559Where would her mother get such a large sum of money to send her?
12559Who knows how this visit may be made to count against her?
12559Who knows when we shall see each other again?
12559Who took me from my nice warm bed?
12559Why are you so silent, Barbara?
12559Why not take the girls to look at the White House, Ruth?
12559Why was her father standing outside her door?
12559Will not Mr. Hamlin''s daughter and her four friends receive these poor offerings?"
12559Will you be good enough to explain to me why you were hiding behind the curtains in Mr. Hamlin''s study when I came in?
12559Will you do it for me?"
12559Will you do this, Barbara?"
12559Will you explain to Miss Moore exactly what occurred, Miss Thurston?"
12559Will you forgive a most unhappy man?
12559Will you girls mind excusing me for the day, and finding some way of amusing yourselves?
12559Will you give me your word, all of you, not to tell?"
12559Will you go with me, children?"
12559Will you never refer to this conversation again, and take me home as soon as you can?
12559Will you tell Mr. Hamlin that I left the bundle of papers he desired on his study table?
12559Wo n''t you be seated while I ring for the butler to turn on the lights?"
12559Wo n''t you come downstairs with me to get a drink of water?"
12559Wo n''t you come, too, Bab?"
12559Wo n''t you keep your word and grant me this favor?"
12559Wo n''t you please find Mr. Hamlin, or some one, to come to her aid?"
12559Would it have been better after all to ask Ruth for the loan of the money?
12559Would she not be beautiful in it, with her pale yellow hair and her blue eyes?
12559Would you lend me the money, Charlie?
12559Would you like me to point out some of the celebrities to you?
12559Yet how else could Bab get help?
12559Yet would it be a good idea?
12559You are Peter Dillon, are n''t you?"
12559You are sure you wish to know the duties of the Secretary of State?
12559You have been saving it to surprise us to- night, have n''t you?"
12559You have something important to say to me?
12559[ Illustration:"What Have You Done With My Papers?"]
12559cried Ruth, in horrified tones,"What has happened to you?
32437A buried treasure? 32437 A secret passage?"
32437About the falling in love?
32437Alone?
32437Am I in on this game?
32437Am I intruding?
32437Am I right, Richard?
32437Am I to be left out of this entirely?
32437And you told him----?
32437Are n''t you going to kiss me good morning?
32437Are n''t you going to open the box?
32437Are these your seats?
32437Are they so very rich?
32437Are we killed? 32437 Are we really going to see a bull fight?"
32437Are you hurt, dear?
32437Are you sure of that?
32437Are you sure there are no ghosts in this old place?
32437Bab?
32437Bob found something?
32437Buried treasure? 32437 But if that were so, why should he have gone to all the pains of leading us to believe there was more?"
32437But we manage to wriggle our way through the broken glass, do n''t we, Molliekins?
32437But what can a girl do? 32437 But-- but if she_ is_ all right, why does n''t she call to us?"
32437Ca n''t you be serious for once in your life? 32437 Ca n''t you see we are dying with curiosity to know what is inside?"
32437Can you see the road?
32437Could it be that she fell through a trap in the floor?
32437Could n''t you even guess?
32437Did he wish to help you?
32437Did n''t I say you were always a tonic to father?
32437Did we? 32437 Did you children ever do fire- gazing?"
32437Did you fall down here?
32437Did you hear that noise?
32437Did-- did you go some?
32437Do n''t you, Bab?
32437Do the bulls and the bears really fight? 32437 Do we have luncheon in the attic?"
32437Do with it? 32437 Do you mean to say that you would crush a human being-- perhaps drive him to do desperate things-- merely to gratify your love of money and power?
32437Do you think they are there?
32437Do-- do you make ribbons on this?
32437Does it blow hot or cold?
32437Father and mother here? 32437 Found the treasure?"
32437Girls, what shall we do with him?
32437Guess who it is?
32437Had n''t I better go to my own room? 32437 Has anyone found the diary?"
32437Has it taken you all these years to find that out?
32437Has no attempt been made to find the treasure?
32437Have you no idea who is doing this-- who your enemy is?
32437How can you say such a thing? 32437 How ever did you get in there?"
32437How is Miss Mollie?
32437How is Miss Mollie?
32437How is my little Molliekins since her adventure in the lower regions of Treasureholme?
32437How should I know anything about it?
32437How so?
32437How would you girls like an attic party?
32437I know we shall have a perfectly splendid time up here, and who knows but that we may unearth some of your ancestors''family skeletons, Olive?
32437I suppose you have n''t the slightest idea who could have done that?
32437I was just about to ask if you mind my running down to chat with your father a few moments before we go?
32437I wonder if all the passengers were gotten out of the sleeper?
32437I wonder if by any chance she could be related to Robert Stuart, a Chicago broker?
32437I wonder what that is? 32437 I-- I wonder what made me wake up so suddenly?"
32437If he comes in, whom shall I tell him called?
32437If you did n''t close them, who did? 32437 If you were to find the treasure what would you do with it?"
32437Intruding, my dear? 32437 Is it a very big hole?"
32437Is n''t it all wonderful?
32437Is n''t this comfy?
32437Is that all?
32437Is the gate open?
32437Is the girl dead?
32437Is the trail hot or cold?
32437Is there any one left in here?
32437Is there no end to this?
32437Is there some secret there?
32437Is-- is Grace asleep?
32437Is-- is-- do you think she is dead?
32437Let me see, was it a box of bon- bons?
32437May I call Miss Barbara?
32437May I go down there now?
32437May I look at it?
32437Molliekins, what_ are_ we going to do with you?
32437Money? 32437 Money?"
32437My sister?
32437No- ot here?
32437Now what do you think of yourselves, you dears?
32437Now, girls,she said,"are you too fatigued after your exciting experiences to go out this evening?"
32437Now, what in the world does that mean?
32437Oh, Bab, Bab; where are you?
32437Oh, Bab, where have you been? 32437 Oh, how do you do, Mr. Stevens?
32437Oh, is n''t that simply glorious?
32437Oh, what has happened?
32437Oh, what is it?
32437Oh, what shall I do?
32437Oh, what shall I do?
32437Oh, will you really go with me, Ruth?
32437Only girls?
32437Please also say good night to Mr. and Mrs. Presby for me, wo n''t you?
32437Remember, Bab, how we used to rummage in our garret on rainy days?
32437Ruth Stuart?
32437Say, you''re a good sport, are n''t you? 32437 See here, Bab, did Tom play any tricks on you?"
32437Something has been there against the wall for some time, has n''t there? 32437 Tell me-- was she-- how did it happen?"
32437The world is small, after all, is n''t it?
32437Then how did you get down this far? 32437 There must be another entrance to it, is n''t there, Olive?"
32437There, now, what did I tell you, Bab?
32437Think of it?
32437Thomas Warrington Presby, what does this mean?
32437To light us to bed?
32437Treasureholme? 32437 Was that when you cried out?"
32437Was the excitement too much for you, my dear?
32437Wha- a- at are they fighting about?
32437Wha-- a- at is it?
32437Wha-- wha-- what is the cause of all this uproar?
32437What about those secret passages that you spoke of?
32437What are the plans for the day, dear?
32437What are you doing here?
32437What can that mean?
32437What caused it? 32437 What did you see?"
32437What do those little marks after the sixty mean?
32437What do we do at an attic party?
32437What do you know about this Jack Howard''s attentions to Olive?
32437What do you make of it, dear?
32437What do you mean?
32437What do you mean?
32437What do you say if I send for Mr. Stevens, girls?
32437What do you think I ought to do with you?
32437What do you think of Cousin Olive?
32437What do you think of it, Molliekins?
32437What ever is the matter with you, Bab?
32437What fell?
32437What happened?
32437What has become of Bab? 32437 What have they ever done to you?"
32437What have you found?
32437What is in that hole?
32437What is it, Bab? 32437 What is it, General?"
32437What is it, dear?
32437What is it?
32437What is it?
32437What is this great building?
32437What next? 32437 What was that?"
32437What was the matter?
32437What would you do if we should?
32437What''s this?
32437What''s-- who''s talking in this berth?
32437What?
32437What_ is_ the matter?
32437When was that?
32437Where are you?
32437Where are your pick and shovel?
32437Where is Bab?
32437Where is Zerlina now?
32437Where was I, girls?
32437Where was Miss Mollie standing when you last saw her?
32437Where-- where is the hammer?
32437Who closed those gates?
32437Who is it?
32437Why did n''t you get him a rifle or an automobile or something that he could do something with? 32437 Why do n''t you speak to Mr. Presby and have him put them off the premises?"
32437Why do you hate them so?
32437Why does Mr. Nathan Bonner hate you?
32437Why, Bab Thurston, how can you say so?
32437Will you never stop picking up horseshoe nails with all four tires?
32437Will you show me?
32437Wo n''t you introduce me to your friends, so I may apologize to them for my peculiar actions?
32437Would it help you in the least if you were to know who this man is who is driving you and Mr. Presby to failure?
32437Would you like to ride so fast as that another time?
32437Would you-- would you think me too personal if I asked you to tell us the story of the buried treasure of Treasureholme?
32437Yes?
32437You are Miss Thurston, are you not?
32437You are n''t going to tell the governor? 32437 You ca n''t mean that?"
32437You did n''t have another accident?
32437You do n''t think I thought for a minute you would run into the house, do you?
32437You do n''t think you will catch cold?
32437You have n''t heard them call or cry out?
32437You have n''t lost it?
32437You mean you are going to lose all you have?
32437You mean you will crush them financially?
32437You say you came home on the rims?
32437You wish me to speak with her upon the subject?
32437Young ladies,interrupted Mr. Stuart,"do you feel equal to beginning your sight- seeing to- day?"
32437Young woman, did Robert Stuart send you to intercede for him?
32437Are there real ghosts there?"
32437Are they in the library, Aunt Sallie?"
32437Are we killed?"
32437Are you certain?"
32437Are you down there, Miss Barbara?"
32437Are you going to Chicago?"
32437Are you hurt?"
32437At this juncture there came a light tap at the door and a well- known gentle voice asked,"may I come in?"
32437Bab, do you love me just the same as you used to?"
32437Bubble?"
32437Bubble?"
32437But the treasure?
32437But what did you want to see father about?"
32437But where was she?
32437By the way, Robert, what did you find at the bottom?"
32437By the way, Tom, have they found out yet who closed those gates the night we ran into them?"
32437By the way, how did you get the notion that I am in any way responsible for Mr. Stuart''s misjudgment on market conditions?"
32437Ca n''t we make our escape?"
32437Ca n''t you see we are burning with curiosity?"
32437Can it be possible that we have stumbled upon the hiding place of the real treasure?
32437Can you climb up?"
32437Could you?"
32437Did her voice sound as if she were here in the attic?"
32437Did n''t the landing stop you?"
32437Did n''t you know she fell in, too?"
32437Did you find that in one of those old books?"
32437Did you see Mr. Stevens, Tom?"
32437Did you see that?"
32437Do n''t you remember, you asked us to call Barbara downstairs?
32437Do we toast them over the flames of the candles?"
32437Do you know the Stuarts?"
32437Do you know the way?"
32437Do you know whether your father is up yet?"
32437Do you understand?
32437Do you understand?"
32437Do you wish to see the rest of them?"
32437Has your father been ill?"
32437Have they found her?"
32437Have you folks gone crazy?"
32437Hers was the first find of interest,"Would n''t it be splendid if I had unearthed an old romance?"
32437How are you to- day?"
32437How can you know this?
32437How do you think father is looking?"
32437How far is it to Mr. Stevens''house?"
32437How is she?"
32437How''d you find out?"
32437Howard?"
32437I was crying because-- because I felt sorry for you and-- and for----""For whom?"
32437I wonder how much money it would take to save them?
32437I wonder what I had better do to punish him for the trick he played on me?
32437Is Miss Mollie seriously hurt?"
32437Is he an acquaintance of yours?"
32437Is he downstairs?"
32437Is it, Tommy?"
32437Is n''t he a frightful looking creature?"
32437Is that what you mean, Nat?"
32437Is that you?"
32437Is the passage so long as that?"
32437Is there, Tom?"
32437Is your Aunt Sallie ready?"
32437Is-- is he at home or at the office?"
32437It is a real treat, is n''t it?"
32437Let''s get Mr. Stevens, ca n''t we?"
32437May I be excused while I go up to look for it?"
32437May I read it?"
32437May I, Olive?"
32437May I?"
32437Mollie fell in, you say?"
32437Money?
32437Must I go downstairs first?"
32437Now what can I do to add to the pleasure of the''Automobile Girls''this fine morning?"
32437Olive, may I go?"
32437P.''?"
32437Presby?"
32437Ruth, are n''t you going to give my little golden- haired girl her present?"
32437Ruth, how do you know that Barbara was here when you called to her?"
32437Ruth, where is your cloak?"
32437Sallie, are you going with the girls?"
32437See that narrow panel?
32437Shall we show the girls the Indian burying ground this morning?"
32437Stevens?"
32437Tell me, dear, have you an idea in that little head of yours that you can help father in his present difficulty?"
32437The first speaker paused a few seconds before replying, then in a voice tense with suppressed emotion he answered slowly:"Hate them?
32437The secretary told her, then added:"You''re not going to see_ him_, are you?"
32437The turn into the grounds is enclosed in stone fences, is n''t it?"
32437They are in a fair way to lose it unless----""Unless what, Aunt Sallie?"
32437W. P.''?
32437Was anyone-- anyone killed?"
32437Was it you who scared us out of our wits?"
32437Was n''t it awful?"
32437Was what she had done-- and it had been hard for a girl to do-- in vain?
32437Was-- was it that that made you cry, dear?"
32437We are to make it a real holiday, eh, Richard?"
32437We made it, did n''t we, Tommy boy?"
32437Were you leaning against the wall, too?"
32437What can be the matter with you?"
32437What do you say?"
32437What do you see, Ruth?"
32437What is it?"
32437What is it?"
32437What is the book?"
32437What is the trouble?
32437What made you think of that?"
32437What shall I do?"
32437What was that?"
32437What was that?"
32437What would I do if the girls should happen to have company in the old dining room?
32437What would they think of her, their daughter''s guest, were she to be seen crawling from a hole in the wall?
32437What''s the matter?
32437What''s wrong?"
32437When did you get back?"
32437Where did you see Bonner?"
32437Where is Tom?"
32437Where is his office?"
32437Where is the man who occupied the lower berth of section thirteen?"
32437Where may I find your father?"
32437Where?"
32437Who discovered the loss of Miss Thurston and her sister?"
32437Why did you come on down here?"
32437Why do n''t you look behind the chests?"
32437Why should they be closed now when the"Automobile Girls"car was looked for to arrive at any moment?
32437Why, dear?"
32437Will the knowledge do you any good?"
32437Won''t-- won''t you please take them back?
32437You are going to Chicago?"
32437You are n''t going to squeal on a fellow, are you?"
32437You did not think I would keep what does n''t belong to me, did you?"
32437You do n''t mean it?"
32437You say Barbara was up here-- she did not go downstairs with you?"
32437You say you have n''t seen him since you left the passage, Barbara?"
32437You will come, wo n''t you, girls?
32437You will excuse me, wo n''t you, if I run down to see him?
43204A burglar? 43204 A gold mine?"
43204About a gold mine?
43204Ai n''t that so, Vasco?
43204Ai n''t tryin''to git away from th''law, be ye?
43204All ready?
43204All ready?
43204An electric shock?
43204And what did he find at the mountain?
43204And will my bugs, snakes and specimens be safe?
43204Any what?
43204Are n''t you going to tackle the brigands and get Bob?
43204Are the_ Americano_ dogs asleep?
43204Are we all here?
43204Are we fools or children? 43204 Are we going to stay here all that while?"
43204Are we ready to go on now?
43204Are we to go again to- night?
43204Are you bit much?
43204Are you hurt, Jerry?
43204Are you sure it''s a mine they''re after?
43204Are you sure you were robbed, señors?
43204Are you sure you''re not hurt?
43204Are your arms broken?
43204But I wonder who it was robbed us?
43204But how about him getting away so completely that our search did n''t reveal him?
43204But how are you going to manage it?
43204But how can we tell where they went?
43204But if it''s underground, how are we going to find it?
43204But tell me, how did they happen to stumble on the right underground passage?
43204But what''s the use of crying over spilled milk? 43204 But where?"
43204Ca n''t you come out?
43204Ca n''t you find him?
43204Can we open the door?
43204Cocoanuts?
43204Cowboys shooting the town up?
43204Did he crawl through the hole in the wall and go into the deserted city?
43204Did he do it?
43204Did something bite him?
43204Did you notice one of the boys--Bilette went on--"the fat one; the stout youth; the one they call Bob and sometimes Chunky?"
43204Did you recognize any one?
43204Do n''t you remember what the old Mexican said?
43204Do n''t you think we could make the trip?
43204Do n''t you want Maximina?
43204Do n''t you want to go''long?
43204Do ye want to upset with this steam engine aboard? 43204 Do you boys want to come along?"
43204Do you suppose a fish would try to swallow an automobile, as the whale did Jonah?
43204Do you suppose they-- they will ki- kill me?
43204Do you think it is going to storm, my dear friend?
43204Do you think we are close to them?
43204Do you want them to hear you across the river?
43204Do you want to be killed?
43204Does that look as if it was only a nightmare?
43204Fighting? 43204 Go on or stay here?"
43204Got another gold mine in sight down there?
43204Got what?
43204Has he stabbed him?
43204Have they the gold with them?
43204Have those men any supernatural powers?
43204Have we struck a snag?
43204Have you fooled us?
43204Have you got it all right, Chunky?
43204Have you got the money yet?
43204Have you got your revolver?
43204Here, where you fellers goin''?
43204How about him telling us we were searching for the buried city?
43204How are we going to get out of this place?
43204How are we going to get over that? 43204 How are we going to get the car down the incline?"
43204How are we going to know this buried city when we come to it?
43204How can you tell?
43204How did it all happen?
43204How did you ever get there?
43204How did you get that way?
43204How do we know we''re on the right road?
43204How do you all do?
43204How do you explain it all?
43204How do you suppose he ever got here?
43204How do you suppose the note was placed there?
43204How in the world did you ever get in such a scrape?
43204How much is it?
43204How should I know?
43204How will that do to stop at overnight?
43204How will we ever get him up?
43204How?
43204How?
43204How?
43204I say, are you fellows going to sleep all day? 43204 I say, when are we going to eat?"
43204I wonder how I can give the boys and the professor a sign so they will know that?
43204I wonder how it came here?
43204I wonder how much good it is going to do us?
43204I wonder how our captive is?
43204I wonder how we are to sleep?
43204I wonder if Noddy saw us?
43204I wonder if it was Nixon''s crowd, or only ordinary robbers? 43204 I wonder if there is any money left in them?"
43204I wonder if there is any one in this temple but ourselves?
43204I wonder if we''ll ever see Noddy Nixon or Jack Pender again?
43204I wonder if we''ll have any more adventures?
43204I wonder if we''ll have to sleep''_ en el sereno_''to- night?
43204I wonder what Chunky would have done if a Mexican brigand had demanded his money- belt?
43204I wonder what he means by that?
43204I wonder what in the world is the matter now?
43204I wonder what it is this time?
43204I wonder what sort of an inn we''ll stop at to- night?
43204I wonder what they are doing to him now?
43204I wonder what this is for?
43204I wonder what we''ll do when our food gives out?
43204I wonder what we''ll have to eat?
43204I wonder when we''ll get to that underground city?
43204I wonder which way those chaps took?
43204I wonder which we shall take?
43204I wonder whom they belong to?
43204I wonder why they did n''t tackle me?
43204Is everything ready?
43204Is everything ready?
43204Is he killed?
43204Is he much hurt?
43204Is it as bad as that?
43204Is it morning?
43204Is it your desire to charge in the fire- wagon with my troopers, or do you prefer to stay in the rear and watch us dispose of this brigand?
43204Is n''t it pretty near time you told us what you are going to do, Noddy?
43204Is n''t that something sticking in the mouth of the image?
43204Is that Noddy boy and his puff- puff carriage to join us?
43204Is there anything more we can do for you?
43204Money? 43204 No good?"
43204Now what has happened, I wonder?
43204Now, boys, what had we better do?
43204Oh, you''re better, are you?
43204Or this?
43204Our friends?
43204Robbers, señors? 43204 Say, if we told the folks at home that a Mexican alligator tried to chew up an automobile, I wonder what they''d say?"
43204Shall I run the machine up the incline?
43204Shall I try a shot at the tires?
43204Shall we fire at them?
43204Shall we go forward again?
43204Shall we go on after them or camp for the night?
43204Shall we post a guard?
43204Shall we stand guard for the remainder of the night?
43204Shall we stay on this side and eat, or cross the river?
43204Shamming, eh?
43204She''s a mighty pretty girl, too; do n''t you think so, Jerry?
43204So it was you who took it, eh?
43204Stay here or go away?
43204Supposing I did,whispered Noddy, in low tones to Vasco,"what good will it do to tell every one?
43204Tell you what,said Bob, one day,"automobiling is great, is n''t it?"
43204The laughing serpent?
43204The next question is, who took them?
43204Then, why ca n''t you put the rope under your arms?
43204Very good; but what about the girl?
43204Was it Nixon?
43204Was n''t that mind- reading?
43204Was our rest disturbed?
43204Wasp sting ye?
43204Well, what are we going to do?
43204Well, what are you going to do this time?
43204Well?
43204Were there any then?
43204What are they talking about?
43204What are we going to do to- day?
43204What are you going to do?
43204What did he see?
43204What did she mean by speaking about Bob, saying Vasco Bilette had him, and for us to come quick?
43204What did they get from you?
43204What did you stop for? 43204 What do ye mean by tryin''t''smash me all to splinters?"
43204What do you know about buried cities?
43204What do you mean?
43204What do you s''pose they come for?
43204What do you say that we camp here for the night?
43204What do you think it is?
43204What does all this mean, Noddy?
43204What does it say?
43204What else could it be? 43204 What good would an ancient, ruined, buried city be if people were living in it?
43204What had we better do about Noddy?
43204What had we better do?
43204What happened?
43204What has happened, señors? 43204 What has happened?"
43204What have we here?
43204What hole is that?
43204What in the world are they?
43204What is it all about?
43204What is it to- day, gasolene or cylinder oil?
43204What is it, Chunky?
43204What is it, Chunky?
43204What is it, tell us, will you?
43204What is it? 43204 What is it?
43204What is it? 43204 What is it?"
43204What is it?
43204What is it?
43204What is it?
43204What is it?
43204What is that?
43204What made the water go out?
43204What made you think they were after a mine, Noddy?
43204What makes you think so?
43204What of it?
43204What sort of entertainment?
43204What was that he said about turning to the left?
43204What was that?
43204What''s all the row about?
43204What''s it all about?
43204What''s that ahead in the road?
43204What''s that?
43204What''s that?
43204What''s the matter-- a snake?
43204What''s the matter? 43204 What''s the matter?
43204What''s the matter?
43204What''s the matter?
43204What''s the matter?
43204What''s the matter?
43204What''s the matter?
43204What''s the use of doing that?
43204What''s the use?
43204What''s to be done?
43204What?
43204What?
43204When are we going to eat?
43204Whence do you come in your chariot of fire?
43204Where are they?
43204Where are we? 43204 Where are you?"
43204Where can we get help?
43204Where did she come from?
43204Where did they come from, and who are they?
43204Where is Vasco Bilette?
43204Where is he?
43204Where is it?
43204Where is the professor?
43204Which is Bob?
43204Who do you suppose it was?
43204Who has money to throw away on such as she?
43204Who is she?
43204Who is she?
43204Who was it?
43204Who''s killed? 43204 Who''s there?"
43204Who''s there?
43204Who''s there?
43204Why not try the latter?
43204Why not? 43204 Why not?"
43204Why, Chunky? 43204 Why, have n''t we got plenty for several weeks yet?"
43204Will it be better than the gold mine?
43204Will the honorable señors be pleased to enter my poor inn?
43204Will they help us?
43204Will you go, Professor?
43204Will you guarantee that there are no robbers?
43204Will you not pass another night under my roof?
43204Will you not smoke a cigarette with me?
43204You ai n''t thinkin''of goin''back East, are ye?
43204You mean escape? 43204 You say they went to Mexico?"
43204You spik Spanish, señor?
43204You want go?
43204A thief?
43204Afraid of ghosts?"
43204And now do you fellows want to stay here all night or travel in the auto?"
43204Are you going to sleep all day?"
43204Bit by a kissin''bug?"
43204But how did he dissolve himself into thin air?"
43204But what is all the noise about?"
43204But what is this?
43204But whence come ye, and whither do ye go?"
43204Ca n''t you see it now?
43204Did he get anything?"
43204Did n''t you hear that''s what they came for?"
43204Did n''t you say your friend died?"
43204Did they get our money?"
43204Did you cook any since yesterday?"
43204Do n''t you hear some one shouting?"
43204Do you remember the day I fell over the cliff with Broswick and Nestor, and you pulled us up with the auto?"
43204Get away from here?
43204Has Bob''s father sent the money?"
43204Has a tidal wave come in?
43204Has an earthquake occurred?
43204Have the brigands come?
43204Have they the gold?"
43204Have you a rope?"
43204How are ye?"
43204How did you come to go down, professor?"
43204How do you feel?"
43204How much do you want?"
43204I wonder if the professor took any?"
43204I wonder if they''re going to starve me?"
43204I wonder if we''ve fallen into a robber''s den?"
43204I wonder what they want of Bob?"
43204I wonder what you''re here for?"
43204I wonder who they were?"
43204In my house- boat?
43204Is any one killed?"
43204Is it a fight?"
43204Is it a fire?
43204Is the place on fire?
43204Is the river rising?
43204Is this gold or silver?
43204Is this money?
43204It was about an hour later when Jerry observed:"Does n''t it seem as if the monkeys were making more noise than usual?"
43204It would be fun, even if we did n''t find the place, and the gold mine is now in good shape, so that we could leave, is n''t it, Jim?"
43204Leave?"
43204Lucky, was n''t it?"
43204Now, if you please, what is it all about?"
43204Now, is there anything else I can let you have?"
43204Shall I run down and take a look?"
43204Shall I tell the men?"
43204Shall I?"
43204Shall we go and give battle to these brigands?"
43204Shall we talk business?"
43204Shall we turn him over to the soldiers?"
43204Snowgrass?"
43204The question is: What are we going to do about it now?"
43204To catch fish?"
43204Was there much in it?"
43204Was your rest disturbed?"
43204We have Bob back, we discovered the underground city, and what more do we want?"
43204We''ll have to do a little night traveling, but what of it?"
43204What care I for lost cities?
43204What care any of us for lost cities?
43204What do you say?
43204What do you want of such reptiles?
43204What does it look like?"
43204What has happened?
43204What is it all about?
43204What was that?"
43204What''s that?"
43204What''s the matter?
43204Where can we find him?"
43204Where did he go?
43204Where did the fiend go?"
43204Where you live?"
43204Who was it robbed us?"
43204Who you shootin''at?"
43204Why did the señor yell, as if some one had stuck a knife into him?"
43204Will you come along, professor?"
43204Will you do it?"
43204Yet we follow him, and all for what?
43204You go?"
19561A cut?
19561A gentleman?
19561Afraid of what?
19561All of us?
19561All the same,insisted Will,"he might----"He was interrupted by Mollie, who asked:"Where is your wagon?"
19561Amy, how about you?
19561And did his stuff do your hair any good?
19561And did it turn out as the people said?
19561And if she ever went back to the mysterious''him''of whom she talked?
19561And she did n''t tell you anything about herself?
19561And so you did n''t like Shadow Valley?
19561And the clank of the metal?
19561And what is the something you were going to tell us?
19561And who is this man she says she wo n''t go back to?
19561And with us along?
19561And you did n''t find anything?
19561And you dropped part of a letter; did you not?
19561And you sat here in view of the door all the while?
19561Another mystery?
19561Are any of you hurt?
19561Are n''t you afraid?
19561Are n''t you nervous-- to think of being at the wheel without some one beside to help you in case of emergency?
19561Are you after some one?
19561Are you going out Shadow Valley way?
19561Are you sorry?
19561Are you sure he is the man who called himself your guardian?
19561Are you sure we did n''t hit her with the auto?
19561Are you sure?
19561Are-- are you going there?
19561But did n''t you hear us talking and calling?
19561But did you learn anything about her?
19561But had n''t we better see first if we can revive her?
19561But how came she here?
19561But how can you make the car go-- when it wo n''t?
19561But how did they know it was haunted?
19561But how in the world do you imagine this stuff got here?
19561But if you think those doctors have an object in making the mansion appear haunted,spoke Grace,"why do you not go to the authorities and complain?
19561But oh, do you realize our position?
19561But what are you going to do?
19561But what is the use of speculating and guessing about it?
19561But what''s it all about?
19561But where can she be now?
19561But where does the''haunt''come in?
19561But where is she now? 19561 But where will you find a garage man around here-- and at this time of night?"
19561But why did he dress like a ghost?
19561But why should I wait for that man to come back?
19561But why should he dress up all in white-- like a ghost?
19561But why was he all in white?
19561But you will be careful; wo n''t you, Mollie dear?
19561But, girls, I really wonder if it could be anyone in trouble? 19561 But, oh, Mollie, are you sure that''s the best thing to do?"
19561But-- but what has happened, anyhow?
19561Ca n''t I, though?
19561Ca n''t you telephone?
19561Camping in a haunted house? 19561 Can we help you any?"
19561Can we stop him? 19561 Can you tell what is the matter?"
19561Did he do it on purpose?
19561Did it ever occur to you, Mr. Lagg,she asked,"that those doctors might be playing a trick on you to get you to part with the property cheap?
19561Did n''t I hear him speak? 19561 Did n''t she leave her name-- or anything?"
19561Did she have-- I mean what was her name-- or could you describe her to us? 19561 Did she say why she climbed up it?"
19561Did she seem all right?
19561Did she tell why she was in the tree?
19561Did those doctors hint at taking it at a lower figure than you offered it for?
19561Did you ever hear of such a thing?
19561Did you ever see any queer manifestations while you were here?
19561Did you find any water?
19561Did you leave it all alone?
19561Did you make any inquiries to be sure they were not doing this themselves?
19561Did you see that big mansion up there?
19561Did you?
19561Do n''t you know us?
19561Do n''t you remember, Mr. Lagg told us that there was a housekeeper''s residence built to connect with the main structures?
19561Do you intend to do any more cruising this fall, Betty?
19561Do you think so? 19561 Do you think the ghost was a tramp?"
19561Don''t-- don''t you understand?
19561Dot any tandy?
19561Er-- was trade good up that way?
19561Girls, will you transfer any rights you may have as ghost- layers to us, if we pay you a commission?
19561Gittin''sort of stylish; ai n''t ye?
19561Grace, have you any?
19561Grace, will you kindly oblige again? 19561 Have any of you----""Grace, will you kindly oblige?"
19561Have the doctors made any other move?
19561Have you everything you need?
19561Have you given up your business, and are you working for some one else?
19561Have you lost something?
19561Have you-- have you found the ghost?
19561How did you happen to come back here?
19561How do you know but that it is a''her''and not a''him''?
19561How do you know he was a man?
19561How do you know?
19561How-- how is trade?
19561However did you prevail on your mother to get you the car?
19561I just did n''t want Grace to feel----"Where is tandy?
19561I supposed there was really some one here who needed my services?
19561I wonder had I better call again?
19561I wonder how we happened to get here-- at the entrance to Shadow Valley?
19561I wonder if we had better notify the police?
19561I wonder what can be in that house?
19561I wonder what the union rates are for ridding haunted houses of the haunt? 19561 I wonder what we''ll find?"
19561I wonder when we will meet her again?
19561I wonder, if by chance the former inhabitants left some morsels of food? 19561 I''ve taken enough lessons, the garage man says; I have my license, and why should n''t I run my car?
19561In Deepdale?
19561In a hurry?
19561In that rain?
19561In that there machine?
19561Is anything the matter?
19561Is it silly to-- have a sweetheart?
19561Is n''t it queer?
19561Is n''t it, girls? 19561 Is there anything we can use?"
19561It was?
19561It wo n''t do to leave it on the road; will it?
19561Land cruising?
19561Look, girls, is that a light?
19561Mollie, are you in there?
19561Now do be careful; wo n''t you, girls?
19561Now what is the next thing to do?
19561Now which way?
19561Now, how shall we put her in, Betty?
19561Now, where did you leave the auto?
19561Oh dear, I wonder if I will always have to bribe you, Paul?
19561Oh, are you there?
19561Oh, is it_ your_ car?
19561Oh, is n''t it all queer? 19561 Oh, was n''t it awful?
19561Oh, well, I mean-- er-- any tramps in it-- or anything like that?
19561Oh, what did I do with my goggles?
19561Oh, what is it now?
19561Oh, whatever possessed him to do a thing like that? 19561 Oh-- oh, what can have happened?"
19561Oo dot any tandy?
19561Or in my lady''s chamber?
19561Our club?
19561See anything strange about it?
19561Shall I try it again, Mollie?
19561Shall we take them?
19561Shall we, girls?
19561So he was your guardian; eh?
19561Stamp? 19561 Strange?
19561Suppose there are-- dogs?
19561The one that rich man built, you mean? 19561 The one who caught me?"
19561The who?
19561Then I ca n''t sell you any of my Restorer?
19561Then how do you account for what happened in the old mansion?
19561Then our auto did not strike you?
19561There must have been some one here, or else how did we see the light which we followed, and which brought us here?
19561Up stairs; or down stairs?
19561Us dive oo glasses for tandy; wo n''t us, Dodo?
19561Verses? 19561 Was he in earnest?"
19561Well, I''m tired of always having candy thrown in my face-- what if I do like chocolate?
19561Well, are you ready for the ghost hunt?
19561Well, are you ready to go ghost- hunting?
19561Well, do you want to draw lots for it?
19561Well, girls, how do you like it?
19561Well, shall we try it?
19561Well, what of it?
19561Were you much afraid of that ghost on Elm Island?
19561Were you, in the_ Gem_?
19561What about the queer blue light, and the smell of sulphur?
19561What are you going to do-- live in it?
19561What are you going to do?
19561What are your plans?
19561What did she say?
19561What did you say our stopping place would be for to- night, Mollie?
19561What do you mean? 19561 What does it say?"
19561What else? 19561 What for oo''top me widing?"
19561What in the world could she have been doing up the tree?
19561What in the world do you s''pose she was doin''up in it?
19561What is beyond here, I wonder?
19561What is it?
19561What is it?
19561What is it?
19561What is it?
19561What is it?
19561What is that?
19561What is the use of a motor car if one ca n''t bring one''s friends home in the proper mode?
19561What shall we do?
19561What sort of a looking man was the one who caught you?
19561What was-- what was it that grabbed you?
19561What were you doing up there?
19561What will you do with your horse and carriage?
19561What''s that?
19561What''s the game?
19561What''s this?
19561What, have you a case ag''in him, too?
19561What-- need us-- or send for us?
19561What-- what happened?
19561What?
19561When can we go?
19561Where are you going?
19561Where are you? 19561 Where did you come from?"
19561Where do you think would be a good place to look for your man?
19561Where is she?
19561Where you goin''?
19561Where-- where is it?
19561Where? 19561 Which way?"
19561Who could he have been?
19561Who is?
19561Why did she not come back to us?
19561Why do n''t you take us with you? 19561 Why do n''t you undertake it yourself?"
19561Why have you the wagon? 19561 Why not?
19561Why not? 19561 Why not?
19561Why not?
19561Why not?
19561Why seek to inquire?
19561Why would n''t I, when Betty has been having us off on a cruise in her motor boat?
19561Why?
19561Why?
19561Would n''t you think it was-- next day?
19561Would we?
19561Would you mind explaining first,asked Betty with a smile,"why you were up that tree?
19561Yes,went on Betty, taking up the story,"did n''t Mollie tell you that?
19561Yes; what is it?
19561Yes?
19561You know that old mansion, at the far end of the valley; do n''t you?
19561You mean Carrie?
19561You mean Kenyon''s Folly?
19561You wo n''t ever do it again; will you, Paul?
19561You-- you are n''t afraid; are you?
19561Your bottle?
19561Amy, I wonder what good fortune is coming to us?"
19561And how can she have gone in without us seeing her?"
19561And nothing displeases a customer more than to listen to wrong rhymes; do n''t you think so?"
19561Another olive, Betty, dear?"
19561Are you afraid to come with me?"
19561Are you camping?"
19561Are you girls going to take up Lagg''s offer?"
19561Are you sure?
19561Besides, what if we are wet?
19561Betty gave voice to this suggestion, saying:"Oh, girls, I wonder if any one can be-- hurt?"
19561Blackford?"
19561But I tan wun a tar, all''e same; tan''t I?"
19561But how did you get here?"
19561But how did you know?"
19561But what I want to know is, could you-- and would you-- dare try to solve the ghostly mystery?"
19561But what are you doing here?
19561But what in the world happened?"
19561But, girls, what do you imagine he wants?"
19561CHAPTER XI A TRACE OF THE GIRL"When are you coming back for us?"
19561CHAPTER XII A DISABLED CAR"Where did she go?"
19561CHAPTER XIX MYSTIFIED"What can I do for you?
19561CHAPTER XV QUEER MANIFESTATIONS Curiously enough it was gentle Amy who made a remark that saved the day-- or should I say night?
19561CHAPTER XXI THE MISSING GIRL"Who would ever think we could be frightened here?"
19561CHAPTER XXII A SWINDLED FARMER Surprise at Betty''s exclamation held her companions silent for a moment, and then Mollie cried:"Are you sure, Betty?
19561Can anyone tell?"
19561Can it be possible that we have found her again?"
19561Can we stop him?"
19561Can you operate it?"
19561Can you tell which way she went?"
19561Come now, will you look into this for me?"
19561Do you feel better?"
19561Do you understand?"
19561Does she seem all right, Grace?"
19561Dot any tandy?"
19561Dot any tandy?"
19561Else how would that food get here?
19561Feller that sold you the interest in that patent soap?"
19561Gracious-- what''s that?"
19561Have you found the trouble?"
19561How could she be here?"
19561How?
19561I do n''t doubt but what this haunting business can be explained; but how?
19561I wonder if we ought to take this up?"
19561I wonder if we will ever solve the mystery?"
19561I wonder if you could postpone it?"
19561I wonder what became of her?"
19561In which room are you?"
19561Is n''t it mean to have things go wrong this way, and at such an inconvenient time and place?"
19561Is n''t that hair evidence enough?"
19561Is that his name?"
19561It may offer us a chance for some fun----""And adventures?"
19561Lagg?"
19561Lagg?"
19561Lagg?"
19561May I present you with a bottle?"
19561Meckelburn?"
19561Mollie raised herself by leaning on her hands and murmured:"Where am I?
19561Mollie, do you want to try the scheme?"
19561Now who''s going to ride with me on the front seat?"
19561Oh, but what can have happened to the others?
19561Oh, he is n''t here; is he?"
19561Oh, what did I do with my handkerchief?"
19561Oh, why must I do it?
19561On what charge?"
19561Quite in contrast to these boys was Percy Falconer, a rather foppish lad, who greatly admired Betty-- as who did not?
19561Ransom?"
19561Shall I light the lamps, Mollie?"
19561So why ca n''t we four-- and a chaperone, if we think we need one-- go for a tour, the same as when we walked-- only this time we''ll ride?
19561So you are going on an auto cruise; eh?"
19561Stay here all night?"
19561Suppose we take a look?"
19561The ghost of Elm Island did n''t bother you, so why should this one?"
19561Then he asked:"Have you a long rope?"
19561Then the mansion is n''t haunted, after all?"
19561There is n''t a chance that you''ll go cruising again; is there?"
19561Those groans-- the clanking of chains----""How do you know they were chains?"
19561Thus she entertained the girls with remarks on the country life around, until Betty ventured to remark:"I wonder if we ought n''t to look in on her?"
19561Under arrest?
19561Was there anything strange about her?"
19561What do you mean?"
19561What do you say, girls?"
19561What do you suppose she was doing in the tree?"
19561What do you think?
19561What else can we do?"
19561What happened?
19561What happened?"
19561What seems to be the trouble?"
19561What shall I do?
19561What''s happened now?"
19561What''s the trouble?"
19561What?"
19561Where are we?"
19561Where else can we go?
19561Where else can we go?"
19561Who has the matches?"
19561Who knows but what we may find a table all set for us by fairy hands, as we used to read of in the story books?"
19561Who was he?"
19561Who will come?"
19561Why ca n''t we have a fire?"
19561Why?"
19561Will you come and help us try to batter it down?"
19561Will you help me?"
19561Will you see him?"
19561Will you try it?"
19561Will your machine run, Mollie?
19561Wo n''t it be fun?"
19561Would you like it?"
19561Would you like to read other stories continuing their adventures and experiences, or other books quite as entertaining by the same author?
19561You and I love each other; do n''t we?"
19561You are the girl who fell out of the branches of a tree; are n''t you?"
19561You say she was in this room?"
19561You''ll come; wo n''t you-- all of you?"
19561_ This Is n''t All!_ Would you like to know what became of the good friends you have made in this book?
19561he called as a man came driving past in a dilapidated wagon, drawn by a bony horse,"Jim, jest look after my outfit; will you?
25811All right,declared Ralph, meekly accepting his fate,"but will you kindly tell me what a Thread and Needle Race is?"
25811And are these our things you have in the wagon? 25811 And how do you explain the Indian squaw''s feeling against the name of Latham?"
25811And what do you think? 25811 And why did you knock on our door at this time of the evening, without informing us who you were?"
25811And wo n''t you go down to the village, and stay with Naki and Ceally until Eunice comes back?
25811And you remember Bab said she was going to discover, on that drive, what connection Eunice had with the Latham family?
25811Are not you and your grandchild the last of your race? 25811 Are you Naki and Ceally?"
25811Are you afraid of me?
25811Are you going, Miss Sallie?
25811Are you nervous about our riding this afternoon?
25811Are you preparing to be a lawyer''s clerk that you spend your spare hours poring over musty business papers?
25811Aunt Sallie,Ruth asked, as soon as the doctor left,"may I have Eunice up at the hotel with us, as soon as she is well enough to leave the hospital?"
25811Bab,Grace asked, joining the two sisters,"why did you spend so much time out in that shed looking at airship models?
25811Bab,said Mollie, after a moment''s pause,"has n''t it been dreadfully dull since Ruth and her father went away?
25811Barbara, what is the matter with you?
25811Build a fire?
25811But I am coming back next summer to see you and my grandmother?
25811But how did you find us, Hugh?
25811But how shall we get a doctor up there?
25811But what shall we do now?
25811But what will Aunt Sallie say?
25811But where are Ruth and Grace?
25811But where is the guard house please, Miss Sallie?
25811But why, my child?
25811But wo n''t you come again, Eunice?
25811But wo n''t you let me thank you for leading my sister to me? 25811 But you are not afraid of your uncle, are you?"
25811But you will come back again, in a week or two wo n''t you?
25811But you will come with us, if your grandmother says you may?
25811But, Eunice,Mollie inquired, more and more puzzled by the girl''s appearance and conversation,"are you a pure- blooded Indian?
25811Can I help either of you?
25811Can it be possible?
25811Can you manage to walk? 25811 Children, what on earth is the matter?"
25811Did Uncle Ralph write you about this?
25811Did some one speak to me?
25811Did you ever see anything in the world so funny? 25811 Did you hear some one calling?"
25811Did you like Reginald Latham to- day, Bab?
25811Do I look as though I meant to harm you? 25811 Do I look like the bogie man, who lives in the woods and comes to steal away naughty children?"
25811Do n''t ask Bab? 25811 Do n''t you know what a kiss is, Eunice?
25811Do n''t you think we had better go up to the wigwam?
25811Do you know what I suddenly thought, when Bab and I saw that great white object come sailing over our heads this afternoon? 25811 Do you know, Bab, I am much interested in our little Indian girl?
25811Do you mean you have found out about Eunice?
25811Do you remember, Bab? 25811 Do you remember,"she asked,"a paragraph in the first geography you studied at school?
25811Do you think I had better go ahead, Naki?
25811Do you think you and Ralph can stay for our coon hunt, Hugh?
25811Do you think you can manage, Miss Sallie?
25811Does Miss Sallie know?
25811Eunice,Ruth asked,"do you know what a present is?"
25811Eunice,Ruth asked,"do you remember your father and mother?"
25811Eunice,asked Mollie,"are you going for a ride in the big balloon I showed you yesterday as we rode away from the hospital?"
25811Eunice,she asked,"do you still wear the gold chain around your neck?
25811Give me your handkerchief, please?
25811Gone where?
25811Grace, have you finished making your speech?
25811Grace,she asked,"will you be a perfect dear?
25811Has n''t she been shooting with you? 25811 Have we arrived?"
25811Have you any memorandum among your husband''s papers which would prove that the money was returned to him before his death?
25811Have you any money, girls?
25811Have you grown suddenly deaf? 25811 Have you talked with Mollie?"
25811How could I possibly light a fire?
25811How could it, Barbara, dear?
25811How could you be so horrid, Mollie?
25811How dare you take all the bacon, when you have just declared it was so delicious? 25811 How did I know?"
25811How did you happen to bring the horse over?
25811How did you know?
25811How do you do?
25811How long must we wait?
25811I am sorry, Mr. Latham,she exclaimed politely,"but we have planned to do some target practice in the morning?
25811I hate good- byes, do n''t you, Aunt Sallie?
25811I presume,Mr. Stuart said quietly to Bab,"that your uncle settled this debt years ago; but if he did, why was the note never canceled?"
25811I wonder if that is true?
25811I wonder,said Mollie to Grace, as she finally followed her into bed,"what wonderful adventures we shall have in this forest?
25811I wonder,she thought at last,"if I can persuade Ruth to go to college with me?"
25811I wonder,thought Mollie,"if, somehow, I have struck the famous''Lost Man''s Trail?''
25811If I tell you,she implored,"will you promise me by the stars never to betray me?
25811If you are n''t sharing your money with us by giving us all these good times, what are you doing? 25811 Is Mollie growing worldly wise, Hugh?"
25811Is a man riding on that great, great big bird?
25811Is anything the matter?
25811Is coon hunting a cruel sport, Ralph?
25811Is it the great white spirit, my grandmother has told me about?
25811Is it true, father?
25811Is n''t the scenery just too perfect for words?
25811Is n''t this a dangerous business?
25811Is that what is preying on my hospitable aunt''s mind all this time?
25811Is the old woman also named Eunice?
25811Is there some one down there in the woods?
25811Is this game for women only?
25811Is this why you are not pleased to see us? 25811 Is your guide an Indian?"
25811It is rather dirty work, is n''t it?
25811Kindly explain to me, Ruth,asked Hugh, as the party finally started,"why you are carrying those two large bolts of ribbon?
25811May Eunice go away with us now?
25811May I inquire what you are doing, Barbara?
25811May I take your teacup from you?
25811May we count on you for the Gymkana races, Ruth?
25811May we, Miss Sallie? 25811 May we, Miss Sallie?"
25811Miss Sallie,inquired Barbara, an hour later,"will Mollie and I do for the call at the Ambassador''s?
25811Miss Stuart,he asked,"will you or your friends drive a turkey, a duck, a hen, or a gander in our Gymkana race?
25811Mollie, I do n''t want to be a croaker,began Bab, after a little hesitation,"but have you noticed that mother seems worried about something?
25811Mr. Latham, are you ill?
25811Mrs. Thurston,inquired Ruth,"do n''t you dearly love''The Automobile Girls''?"
25811My dear child, what is the matter now?
25811Naki,Miss Sallie asked,"at daylight, to- morrow, will you go to the old squaw''s wigwam?
25811Now, Mother Eunice,Mollie ended,"wo n''t you let little Eunice go away with us this afternoon, instead?
25811Now, does everybody understand about to- morrow?
25811Of course, Miss Sallie knows we are going to practise shooting?
25811Oh, I say, Miss Stuart,he quizzed in the affected fashion that so angered Mollie,"ca n''t you trust me to look after Miss Thurston?
25811Oh, Ruth,cried Barbara,"could it be a signal from Mollie?"
25811Oh, must you go so soon, boys?
25811Please, Miss Sallie,she cried hastily,"may Naki and I go out to look for Mollie?
25811Ralph Ewing and Hugh Post, where did you come from?
25811Ralph, or Hugh?
25811Ruth and Mollie are late in getting back, are n''t they?
25811Ruth,continued Miss Sallie severely,"what are you and Barbara doing in those clothes?
25811Shall I ask her?
25811Shall I ask the other girls to come in?
25811Shall we have tea out on our veranda, Barbara?
25811Suppose, I do have to stay in the woods all night?
25811Tell me,Barbara continued,"no one has properly explained it to me how you happened to be at the right place just at the right moment?
25811Then who has given Beauty to us?
25811Wait a second, Eunice?
25811Was this money paid you by your brother when he settled your estate?
25811Well girls,Mollie continued,"do you recall that Bab went driving, a few days ago, with Reginald Latham, Mr. Winthrop Latham and Aunt Sallie?"
25811Well then, Aunt Sallie, we have no choice in the matter, have we?
25811Well,continued Ruth,"you remember about the little Indian girl whom Bab accidentally shot yesterday?
25811What about Grace?
25811What are we to do? 25811 What are you going to do now, Ruth Stuart?"
25811What do you mean,demanded Ruth and Mollie,"by going off on such a mysterious errand?
25811What do you mean?
25811What do you say,continued Miss Stuart,"to our going back to civilization?
25811What do you think has happened?
25811What does Uncle Ralph propose that we do? 25811 What else can we do?"
25811What experiment do you intend to try?
25811What has happened to you?
25811What have you done to your silly little self? 25811 What in the world can you mean?"
25811What is it Hugh?
25811What is it, Ceally?
25811What is it, Miss Sallie?
25811What is it?
25811What is our guide''s outlandish name?
25811What is the child talking about?
25811What is the matter with Miss Mollie Thurston this morning? 25811 What is the matter with you, Mollie?
25811What is the matter with you, Reginald?
25811What money should have been paid by my brother years ago? 25811 What on earth has happened this time?"
25811What on earth is it?
25811What on earth shall we do? 25811 What on earth''s the matter, Bab?"
25811What shall we do to help with the preparations, Miss Sallie?
25811What should we expect to sleep on except the floor or the ground? 25811 What then, Aunt Sallie?"
25811What woman and her son came to your house to see this squaw?
25811What would Aunt Sallie say if she could see us opening our mail on the street?
25811What''s the joke?
25811What''s the matter?
25811What''s the programme for to- day?
25811What''s up?
25811When do we start, Ruth?
25811When shall we go to see Eunice?
25811Where did you come from?
25811Where did you come from?
25811Where did you find my daughters? 25811 Where have you been, Mollie?"
25811Where is''Automobile Girl''number four?
25811Where''s Mollie?
25811Who are you?
25811Who could wish to steal a poor little Indian girl? 25811 Who is out there?"
25811Who is this Indian girl? 25811 Who knows indeed, Barbara?"
25811Who knows what a day may bring forth?
25811Who knows what luck they may bring to us? 25811 Who knows?
25811Who on earth can they be?
25811Who''s there?
25811Who?
25811Why are you alone?
25811Why ca n''t I come up and help with the teaching? 25811 Why did you come here?"
25811Why do n''t you get up? 25811 Why do you ask me, doctor?"
25811Why do you do such a strange thing to me?
25811Why is everybody looking so serious?
25811Why not come and see all of us? 25811 Why not, Mollie?"
25811Why not?
25811Why not?
25811Why should it not be well with me?
25811Why should n''t Dorothy Morton sell Beauty to a girl who cares more for the horse than Dorothy does?
25811Why should she be afraid of the law?
25811Why should there be any running away with the child?
25811Why, Bab,asked Mollie sleepily,"when did you and Ruth find me?
25811Why, Eunice,Mollie asked quietly,"are you not glad to see your friends?"
25811Why, Eunice?
25811Why, Mollie, do n''t you think that is a good enough explanation of Reginald Latham''s attitude toward Eunice?
25811Why, what do you mean?
25811Why, who would wish to steal her from you?
25811Will some one take the child away?
25811Will you come to our little private balcony? 25811 Will you go with me to see her at ten o''clock to- morrow morning, Miss Stuart?"
25811Will you sew the button on for me, Mollie?
25811Wo n''t you come in and have a game of archery with us to- morrow afternoon? 25811 You are alone, are n''t you?"
25811You are not angry with me for going off with Reginald Latham last night are you? 25811 You are not angry with me?"
25811You are the girls, are n''t you, who have been camping on one of our Berkshire hills?
25811You do n''t mean to say that Barbara and Ruth have put Ralph''s name and mine down for three of your performances? 25811 You tell me this child''s name is Eunice?
25811You will not tell my grandmother?
25811You?
25811****** The Range and Grange Hustlers By FRANK GEE PATCHIN Have you any idea of the excitements, the glories of life on great ranches in the West?
25811Am I not safe in my own house?
25811And how did Mollie find you to tell you I was concealed in the woods with a sprained ankle?
25811And how was Reginald to be provided for?
25811And what is the name of that hill over there?
25811And, could it be possible?
25811Are n''t you just a little glad to see us?"
25811Are n''t you, Bab?"
25811Are not the four of us going?
25811Are you going into the millinery business to- day?"
25811Are you perfectly sure you do not feel afraid?"
25811But I wonder if you are really interested in the girl, or whether you are being kind to her, now, only because of her accident?"
25811But did they hear a low moan like the sound of a wounded dove?
25811But girls do n''t care for such weepy books nowadays, do they?
25811But how could I dream of what I knew nothing?"
25811But is it well with you?"
25811But this Indian child, where did she come from?
25811But was it quite fair of you to come each morning to our windows, and then fly away again before anyone could see you?"
25811But what about Eunice and her protectors?
25811But what''s the matter with you, Bab?"
25811But why introduce the Indians?"
25811But would you mind glancing at them, please?"

25811CHAPTER XXIV WHAT TO DO WITH EUNICE"Bab, will you come out on the hotel driveway a minute?"
25811Can I help you?"
25811Can we be of any assistance to you?"
25811Can you not hear when you are spoken to?"
25811Can you tell us the name?"
25811Come, Mrs. Thurston,"questioned Mr. Stuart,"do n''t you think this is a good scheme for everyone?"
25811Coming, child?"
25811Could it be laughter?
25811Could it be the famous ghost of Lost Man''s Trail?
25811Could it be the ghost?
25811Could you, would you, just give us each a hunk of bread to stay our appetites?"
25811Did Ruth remember to tell you that the British Ambassador''s daughters, Dorothy and Gwendolin Morton, are coming in to tea?
25811Did his better nature move him?
25811Did they call her Eunice?
25811Did you ever hear of a dummy race or a thread- and- needle race?"
25811Did you ever see anything so lovely as these hills are now?
25811Did you have a nice, quiet time by yourself?"
25811Did you think I was going away?"
25811Do Ambassadors shake hands, Aunt Sallie?
25811Do any of you ride horseback well enough to go in for the hurdle jumping?
25811Do n''t you smell something horrible?"
25811Do n''t you wish to come with us?"
25811Do you feel equal to another aerial flight?"
25811Do you know what an uncle is?"
25811Do you ride, Miss Thurston?"
25811Do you suppose she would like the change?"
25811Do you think Miss Sallie will ever forgive me?"
25811Do you think they will ever come back?
25811Do you think, Miss Sallie, we girls have a right to betray the old Indian woman''s secrets?"
25811Dorothy inquired, turning first to Ruth, then to Bab, Mollie and Grace,"May I put down your names for this race?"
25811Girls, if I tell you something will you promise me not to laugh?
25811Had her visitor been a real girl, or was Mollie bewitched by a brown elf?
25811Had she been asleep and dreamed of Ruth?
25811Have n''t I told you?
25811Have you ever been to school?"
25811Have you seen this girl?"
25811He merely inquired coldly:"How are you, Mollie?"
25811How could Dorothy Morton ever have been willing to sell her?"
25811How could she ask for it when you alone knew of the debt and kept the matter a secret?
25811How could we have dreamed the child was hiding in the underbrush?
25811How could we know she was hiding near us?
25811How did you happen to light a fire before you awakened me?"
25811How did you spend the afternoon, dear?
25811How is Grace''s headache?
25811How shall we manage then?
25811How was she to protect the interests of Eunice without accusing Mr. Latham''s relatives of evil designs against the child?
25811I would like to know, Bab, how you and I are to get the thing to the ground?"
25811If he never has paid it, can he be forced to do so now?"
25811If we are to enjoy Lenox, and all the delights it offers, do n''t you think it is about time we were moving there?
25811In a voice that only Mollie, who stood near, could hear she asked:"My little wood pigeon is wounded?
25811In two years more she would be ready to enter, but where was the money to come from?
25811Is anyone near?"
25811Is my heart good?"
25811Is n''t it too wonderful?"
25811Is n''t that great?"
25811Is she much hurt, Naki?"
25811Latham?"
25811May I, Miss Stuart?"
25811Miss Stuart looked up from her eggs and toast:"What are you children quarreling about?"
25811Monument Mountain, did you say?
25811Oh, Bab, what shall we do?"
25811Oh, it simply ca n''t be true----""What ca n''t be true, mother?"
25811Oh, what, what can we do?"
25811Please explain?"
25811Remember the first time we saw her, Hugh?
25811Shall I send her a dress of mine?"
25811Shall we open the door?"
25811Shall your name forever sound in my ears?
25811So that is the name Lenox has given to its latest form of social entertainment?"
25811That is an English game, is n''t it?
25811That reminds me, are we ever going to break bread again?
25811Then she had gone-- where?
25811Think you can climb the hill back of us?"
25811This time the voice came through the megaphone:"Can you get me help?
25811Want to, Bab?"
25811Was it Mollie''s voice calling her?
25811Was it a boy or girl?
25811Was it human or a sprite?
25811Was n''t it too absurd?
25811Was the child dreaming?
25811We must make her understand that Mrs. Latham and Reginald are her enemies, we are her friends----""Is that all, Bab?"
25811What are you talking about, Ruth?
25811What chance had the child and her ignorant, uncivilized grandmother against him?
25811What connection could she have with these two men of wealth and position?
25811What did it all mean?
25811What did we see?
25811What do you think of my serious- minded father?
25811What had become of Naki?
25811What had happened at the log cabin, meantime?
25811What has come over her?
25811What have you planned?"
25811What on earth do you suppose he and his mother could have against a poor old squaw and her little girl?
25811What shall we do?
25811What was a handsome, middle- aged woman doing on top of a mountain?
25811What would then become of Eunice?
25811When can I see the Indian grandmother?"
25811When the girls filed into the living room for their lunch Bab asked carelessly:"Where''s Mollie?"
25811Where are the other girls and Aunt Sallie?"
25811Where did it come from?"
25811Where did you find her?"
25811Where is the carriage in which we are to drive?"
25811Where was the clue to the mystery?
25811Which was the right one?
25811Which way should she go?
25811Who could ever trace a child carried away in an airship?
25811Who do you think her visitors were?"
25811Who do you think she was?
25811Who in all this world has a claim on her but her poor old grandmother?
25811Who is?
25811Who knows but you will turn out the best sportsman in the lot?
25811Who knows what may be stored away in that little head of yours?
25811Why had she taken such a dislike to Reginald Latham?
25811Why had the name of Latham fired this old squaw to such a burst of fury?
25811Why were her only companions two charming young girls and a rough looking man and his wife?
25811Why, Mr. Stuart,"asked Ruth,"are Mollie and I not also invited to dinner?"
25811Will she be able to see our friends this afternoon?"
25811Will you promise?"
25811Wo n''t it be a jolly lark?"
25811Wo n''t you come to our hut?
25811Would you have helped pulled Reginald down out of his airship, if you had known how you would dislike him, Mollie?"
25811Would you like to try?"
25811You are my friends?"
25811You remember that we have spoken of her before?"
25811You would not sell me, would you?
25811cried Barbara,"what do you mean?"
25811she thought, finally,"what possible harm can it do Mr. Winthrop Latham to look at poor, pretty little Eunice?
36179A breakdown, eh? 36179 A dark horse with a white breast and white feet?"
36179A diamond ring?
36179About Grace?
36179Alone?
36179An engagement ring?
36179And after that?
36179And are you positive, Sam, it was not serious?
36179And did he have any white under his neck?
36179And did he know you had stolen the money?
36179And did you go to Belright Fogg and give him the three hundred dollars?
36179And did you pay the six dollars, Doctor?
36179And how do you fellows feel this morning?
36179And how far is it from here?
36179And how is that getting along?
36179And how long ago was this?
36179And how was it you tried to keep out of our sight in that flood?
36179And if Mr. Sanderson ca n''t pay, what then?
36179And the fellow wore a heavy overcoat and a fur cap?
36179And was the fellow dressed in a heavy, gray overcoat and a heavy fur cap?
36179And what about my money-- is that safe?
36179And what do you consider the farm worth?
36179And what does Mr. Fogg want us to do?
36179And what is Dick?
36179And where had you left Mr. Sanderson''s cutter in the meantime?
36179And where is it to be, Sam?
36179And which way did he head?
36179And you will let Songbird come here and call on your daughter?
36179Andy Royce? 36179 Any of you hurt?"
36179Any particular reason for going to that city?
36179Any trouble with him?
36179Anybody else?
36179Anybody hurt?
36179Anything wrong, Sam?
36179Are n''t we all striving to graduate? 36179 Are those the banners you captured, Sam?"
36179Are those two people going in a big touring car all by themselves?
36179Are you going directly to Hope?
36179Are you going up to the college? 36179 Are you mixed up in this unfortunate affair?"
36179Are you sure of this? 36179 Are you sure that you''re not hurt, Grace?"
36179Are you sure you are going to graduate, Sam?
36179As bad as that, eh? 36179 Blackie Crowden?
36179Blind lady? 36179 But how can I take it easy with that four thousand dollars missing?"
36179But if he went to Dentonville and to the railroad station, could n''t you telephone to the operator there to have him held?
36179But if you did n''t want to go that far, Grace, why did n''t you tell him?
36179But just the same, why does she favor him at all?
36179But what about Ada?
36179But what brought him to Fernwood in the first place?
36179But what did you just say about a man watching you when you went into the bank?
36179But what in the world are you talking about, Tom?
36179But what was it, Sam? 36179 But you met a man named Blackie Crowden?"
36179Ca n''t ye give me more''n the ten dollars?
36179Can I help you in any way?
36179Can you remember what room it was?
36179Can you tell me anything about him?
36179Can you tell me when the next train stops there?
36179Can you tell me where he is now?
36179Di- did my si- sister get you, or what?
36179Did Bissette have any idea who the man in the cutter was?
36179Did Grace say anything?
36179Did I have a passenger that stuttered?
36179Did I hear somebody calling?
36179Did I see a feller in a cutter goin''as fast as he could?
36179Did he have any baggage with him?
36179Did he steal anything from you people?
36179Did he take an overcoat of yours and a fur cap?
36179Did he tell you that?
36179Did he wear white stockings?
36179Did n''t the young man come here with her?
36179Did n''t you bring your jacket?
36179Did n''t you think the sandwiches and cake and other things were very nice?
36179Did the fellow go straight to Ashton, or did he turn off to one of the other places?
36179Did you buy this to wear at the horse show, or at a meeting of mothers''helpers?
36179Did you catch him?
36179Did you know us?
36179Did you meet a man driving a horse and cutter very rapidly?
36179Did you say Songbird sent him a hundred dollars?
36179Did you say that fellow stuttered and whistled?
36179Did you say that you had been out with Grace lately?
36179Did you say you would pay off this mortgage?
36179Did you see him-- a big fellow with a heavy overcoat and with a fur cap pulled down over his forehead?
36179Discharged him?
36179Do n''t you know enough to stand up when a toast is to be drunk?
36179Do n''t you remember what a famous ball player he was?
36179Do n''t you think I had better go along?
36179Do n''t you think he''ll come back, thinking there''ll be some letters for him?
36179Do n''t you think we had better retire?
36179Do they blame you for the loss?
36179Do you know anything of that fellow?
36179Do you know he is a shyster lawyer?
36179Do you know if any passengers got off here?
36179Do you know what I think?
36179Do you mean Belright Fogg?
36179Do you mean that Crowden went off with the other person in the cutter?
36179Do you mean that he is seriously injured?
36179Do you really mean it, Grisley?
36179Do you suppose the man was going to walk it?
36179Do you think Grace is the kind of a girl to be caught by money, Sam?
36179Do you think he was mixed up in this robbery?
36179Do you think we can go ahead on this road now?
36179Do you want to drop out?
36179Do you want to ride with us?
36179Does n''t that make you feel proud, Sam?
36179Explains what?
36179Had Mr. Sanderson heard any more from old Grisley, or Belright Fogg?
36179Had any fun lately? 36179 Had n''t we better wait until we get some particulars from Songbird?"
36179Hand it over,returned the youth, and then added:"Did Mr. Waltham bring his wrecked runabout to the garage here?"
36179Has anything happened?
36179Has the auto- stage from Fernwood got in yet?
36179Have you a telephone?
36179Have you any idea where we can find him?
36179Have you any telephone connection with Dentonville?
36179Have you heard anything more than that, Tom?
36179Have you settled the snowball affair with him yet?
36179How are matters going in New York, Dick?
36179How are the teachers treating you these days? 36179 How are you making it these days?"
36179How are you these days? 36179 How did Grace seem to be when you spoke to her?"
36179How did Minnie really seem to take it?
36179How did Mr. Sanderson treat you?
36179How does your head feel?
36179How far is that from here?
36179How have you made out so far?
36179How is everything, Minnie?
36179How is he?
36179How is it you did n''t bring Grace with you, Sam?
36179How many miles to the next stopping place?
36179How much money have we got locked up in that? 36179 I do n''t see anything like a house anywhere around, do you?"
36179I say, Rover, what do you mean by attacking me in this fashion?
36179I suppose now that you have graduated, Sam, you and Grace will be joining us here some day?
36179I suppose you did n''t get the letter I sent to you and Dick yesterday-- the letter about Songbird here?
36179I suppose you hear from Songbird occasionally?
36179I wonder how badly he''s hurt?
36179I wonder if he''ll dare to do anything to harm us?
36179I wonder if we ca n''t have him captured in some way? 36179 I wonder what brought him on this back road on foot?"
36179I''m glad to see Minnie sticks up for our chum, are n''t you?
36179I-- er-- er---- How do you do, Rover?
36179If Fogg met this Blackie Crowden, what do you suppose it was for?
36179If I ca n''t get it off, what ever am I to do?
36179If I do n''t want to close out the mortgage I ai n''t got to, have I?
36179If I keep the mortgage, then what has he done for me? 36179 If it was, do you think that man was running away with the outfit?"
36179Is it Waltham?
36179Is it a good road?
36179Is it the only mortgage you have, if I may ask?
36179Is it yours?
36179Is n''t that the whistle of a locomotive?
36179Is that all there is to it?
36179Is that so? 36179 Is that so?
36179Is that so? 36179 Knocked my hat off?"
36179Let me see-- how many miles is it to Larkinburg?
36179Look here, young man, what are you driving at?
36179Make good the loss? 36179 Mr. Rover, you are sure of what you are saying?"
36179Of course your folks know about the loss, Songbird?
36179Oh, about as usual,answered the girl, and then went on:"Of course you know all about what Tom did for us?
36179Oh, is this you, Sam?
36179Oh, she can take your place in one of the other autos, ca n''t she?
36179On foot?
36179One is that the man who stutters was really Blackie Crowden, for who else could have been here with something wrapped in a Knoxbury newspaper? 36179 Out in Denver, you say?
36179Richard, do you think it is safe to stay under the trees in such a storm as this?
36179Right you are, Dick,returned his youngest brother,"but that does n''t answer the question-- where is he now?"
36179Sam, are n''t you a bit sorry to leave the old college?
36179Sam, did Chester Waltham say anything about where he was going to take Grace?
36179Sam, do you really think it can be the fellow who robbed Songbird?
36179Say, is that all the blasting there is?
36179See anything of him, Tom?
36179See that advertisement of The Russel Department Store and that advertisement of Betts''Shoe Store? 36179 She can stay here a little longer, ca n''t she?
36179She did, did she? 36179 She did,"answered Sam, and then added sharply:"You''ve made a nice mess of it here, have n''t you?"
36179She''s made quite a friend of a Miss Ada Waltham at the seminary, a rich girl, has n''t she?
36179So it''s decided that we are to start Monday morning, is it?
36179So you are going back to New York, are you, Tom?
36179Some class to me, eh?
36179Songbird, why did he do it?
36179Speech? 36179 Stuttered, did he?"
36179Supposin''I was to say right now that I''d keep the mortgage? 36179 Sure you''ve got all the snowballs you can carry?"
36179That is true, Tom,answered his wife,"but do n''t you think we had better get back to the hotel and go to bed?
36179The mortgage is on this farm, is n''t it?
36179Then I suppose they wo n''t be back till late?
36179Then has it gone on to Riverview?
36179Then if we want to catch that fellow, all we can do is to go after him, eh?
36179Then what became of the other thirty- five hundred?
36179Then will you go, Sam, and try to explain matters?
36179Then you did n''t really care for him?
36179Then you do n''t know where that fellow came from?
36179Then you hope to get through too?
36179They have n''t heard any more about that Blackie Crowden or the missing money?
36179Tom, how many miles an hour are you making?
36179Twenty- five dollars? 36179 Was he doing the errand for Mr. Sanderson or for Minnie?"
36179Was the man alone?
36179Was this Bissette sure it was Fogg?
36179We''re going to be married early this fall, are n''t we, Grace?
36179Well, I''ve got thirty days in which to make up my mind, ai n''t I?
36179Well, if it was Blackie Crowden, why do n''t you have him locked up?
36179Well, what''s the news?
36179Well, what''s the use of staying up?
36179Well, young men, what can I do for you?
36179Well?
36179Were you hurt in any way?
36179What about her?
36179What about that tour Tom mentioned?
36179What am I going to do with this horse?
36179What are you going to tell Songbird?
36179What did the fellows do with those banners?
36179What did you do with the rest of the money, Crowden? 36179 What do you mean by sending us into such peril as this?
36179What do you mean, Rover, by attacking me in this fashion?
36179What do you propose to do?
36179What do you think I''m built of, iron?
36179What do you think we ought to do?
36179What do you want?
36179What happened? 36179 What has he done?"
36179What has that shyster lawyer to do with it?
36179What in the world brought him here to- day?
36179What is he going to do for a living?
36179What is it, Tom, a puncture?
36179What is this; a snowslide?
36179What shall I talk about-- earthquakes in India, or the spots on Tubbs''pants?
36179What was it?
36179What was that?
36179What will you do with the horse and cutter?
36179What would he be doing away out here?
36179What''s goin''on down here anyway?
36179What''s it all about?
36179What''s that? 36179 What''s that?"
36179What''s the matter anyway?
36179What''s the matter, Ike? 36179 What''s the trouble here?"
36179What''s this I hear about Grace going out with a young millionaire named Waltham?
36179What''s this I hear?
36179What''s wrong?
36179What''s wrong?
36179What? 36179 What?
36179When was this?
36179Where are you?
36179Where bound, Sam?
36179Where did the snowball hit you?
36179Where did you get that paper, Tom?
36179Where do you live?
36179Where in the world would he get that much money? 36179 Where is Grace?"
36179Where is John? 36179 Where is Stockbridge?"
36179Where is the nearest telephone?
36179Where''s Grace?
36179Which way was he headed?
36179Who is going to do the twirling for Brill?
36179Who is this man you mention?
36179Who knocked his hat off?
36179Who says I am letting him ride over me?
36179Why ca n''t we do some throwing ourselves?
36179Why did n''t they take the trip by themselves?
36179Why did n''t you stay back until you heard the second blast?
36179Why do n''t you put William Philander Tubbs in?
36179Why do n''t you telegraph to them?
36179Why not send a telegram asking if it will do any good for you to come home?
36179Why not, if the money is n''t paid?
36179Will they?
36179Will you go along?
36179Will you let us have this photograph?
36179Will you let us know where you let him off?
36179Will you tell me what kind of a looking man he was?
36179Wonder where he went to?
36179Would n''t it pay to get a detective on his track?
36179Would you remember the place where he jumped off?
36179Yes, and what do you think?
36179Yes, but suppose that she cares for Waltham and his money more than she cares for me?
36179Yes, but, Sam, what am I going to do if that money is n''t gotten back? 36179 You did n''t see them, did you?"
36179You do n''t mean there is anything wrong between you and Grace, do you?
36179You do n''t suppose they were going to stop at Brill?
36179You have n''t any idea where he was stopping?
36179You have n''t heard anything more regarding the money?
36179You mean the road that was so thick with dust?
36179You mean to say you did n''t meet Blackie Crowden at Bissette''s?
36179You see, I-- I----"Is it that Chester Waltham?
36179You think you are going to run things to suit yourself, do n''t you? 36179 You were n''t the young man who lost the money?"
36179You will do all you can to find my brother?
36179A young millionaire, eh?
36179And do you think you''ll wish you were back at Brill if ever you get married?"
36179And so you are trying to connect me up with that rascal, are you?
36179And then he added:"Spud, did you notice the looks of that horse when he dashed past us?"
36179And what about that money he was to get for me?"
36179And what do you think?
36179Are you friends of his?"
36179But I do n''t know how we are going to find out the truth about that, and what good will it do us if we do?"
36179But of one thing I wish to be sure, Rover-- did you aim at Mr. Fogg, or was the snowballing unintentional?"
36179But the question is, where did he go?
36179But then he added hastily:"Was that your horse, Grisley?"
36179But what in the world am I to do?"
36179But what''s the use of being so backward?
36179CHAPTER V AT THE RAILROAD STATION"See anybody, Sam?"
36179Ca n''t you and Spud go after that rascal?"
36179Congratulate us._"Are n''t you going to stay to have a dance?"
36179Could n''t we have just the best times ever?"
36179Did Grace get you on the''phone?"
36179Did he steal the turnout?"
36179Did n''t you notice we had the door locked?
36179Did that gardener who put the diamond ring in the inkwell ever come back to work at the seminary?"
36179Did that horse run away with him?
36179Did you fall out of the cutter, or were you attacked?"
36179Do either of you recognize this print?"
36179Do n''t I hear another sleigh coming?"
36179Do n''t you know me?"
36179Do n''t you think I had better wait outside?"
36179Do n''t you think a man can be married and still keep full of fun?"
36179Do you think we had better stop there for dinner, Tom?"
36179Do you think you know the horse, Sam?"
36179Do you want to come along?"
36179Has he got four thousand dollars?"
36179Has he proposed to her?"
36179Have you any idea?"
36179Have you had any more trouble with Miss Harrow, or the others?"
36179Hoover?"
36179How about you?"
36179How did you make out?"
36179How is Grace?"
36179How is he going to earn it-- writing poetry?
36179However, now that I know that your name is Philander Tubblets Williams, do n''t you think you''d like to ride down to Ashton with us?
36179I hope you did n''t spend it?"
36179I suppose you''ll nail them up in your den?"
36179I thought you had left college?"
36179I wonder if he is much hurt?"
36179If Grace has been going out with this Chester Waltham, why has n''t she said something to me about it?
36179If they ca n''t get it back, what ever will Songbird and the Sandersons do?"
36179If you do n''t behave yourself and do n''t treat her like a lady I''ll-- I''ll----""Well, what will you do?"
36179Is that a threat?"
36179My old friend Tubby here?
36179Now, if the man who did the deed was at the bank when you drew the money, how did he get here in time to hold you up?"
36179Of course he was going to take Dora along?"
36179Of course you wo n''t pay any such bill as this?"
36179Oh, are you sure it is n''t serious?
36179Rover?"
36179Rover?"
36179Sanderson''s?"
36179She was quickly told and then asked:"Why did n''t they take my brother along with them?"
36179So you came home to get cleaned up, eh?
36179THE END_ This Is n''t All!_ Would you like to know what became of the good friends you have made in this book?
36179The dancing continued for some time but then, of a sudden, came a cry from Dora:"Where are Sam and Grace?
36179Want a man arrested?"
36179Want to ketch that feller?"
36179Wh- where did you co- come from?"
36179What are you after?"
36179What are you doing here?"
36179What brings you here?"
36179What can I do for you?"
36179What do you mean by such actions?"
36179What do you mean by that?"
36179What do you think I am?
36179What do you think I work for?"
36179What does this mean?"
36179What have you to say?"
36179What is it all about?"
36179What is the next station the train will stop at?"
36179What package?"
36179What room is he in?"
36179What would you do about it?"
36179What''s that ahead?"
36179What-- er-- did-- er-- you do that for?"
36179What?"
36179Whatever brought you here?
36179When are you going to start things?"
36179Where are you?"
36179Where did that horse come from?"
36179Where is Songbird-- do you know anything about him?"
36179Where is your father?
36179Where?"
36179Who are you?"
36179Who did it?
36179Why do n''t you get-- er-- er-- some cream puffs and chocolate éclares and er-- and-- er-- and mint kisses and things like that, you know?"
36179Why in the world did n''t I look where I was driving, instead of rushing right over such a prime collection of rough stones?"
36179Will you fasten it before I go?"
36179Will you go along?"
36179Wo n''t you please help me?"
36179Would n''t you be apt to think that it was a pretty mean piece of business?"
36179Would you like to read other stories continuing their adventures and experiences, or other books quite as entertaining by the same author?
36179ai n''t this some storm?
36179can you tell me where these people live?''
36179can you turn around?"
36179challenged the young millionaire, and then as he drew closer he added:"Oh, the Rovers, eh?
36179did he really say that?"
36179do n''t you want to come with us?"
36179do you mean to threaten me?"
36179do you really mean you are going to have those things for a spread?"
36179do you suppose that other horse was running away, and this fellow fell out?"
36179do you think that money would make any difference to me?"
36179gasped Ada Waltham,"is it really you?
36179he''s pretty bitter over the loss of that money, is n''t he, Sam?"
36179how can you ask such a question?"
36179how could he have been?"
36179is n''t it?"
36179is n''t the check receipt enough?"
36179is that fellow crazy?"
36179she cried, and then added:"Who''s that with you?"
36179so that''s what''s going on, is it?"
36179that was a dandy catch by Rover, was n''t it?"
36179what does it mean?"
36179what have you done with the front handles of your cognomen, anyway?
36179what in the world shall we do?"
36179what kept you so long?"
36179where is Songbird to- day?"
36179why did n''t you tell me you were going to get up?"
36179will you?"
36179you do n''t mean that-- that something has happened to John?"
20870A bird, eh?
20870Am I a prisoner?
20870And Cora?
20870And Mother Hull?
20870And ca n''t some one set a table? 20870 And do you know that old gypsy woman, Liza, met me and tried to scare me into-- or out of-- identifying Tony?
20870And does that satisfy you? 20870 And fresh milk; also toast, and what else?"
20870And he is a nobleman?
20870And run all the way up the beach?
20870And that is why you came?
20870And the dogs?
20870And the new tribe she spoke of?
20870And there are no old huts anywhere? 20870 And they will not fear the tribe?"
20870And this man David?
20870And what did happen?
20870And you are not in bed?
20870And you can play that piece-- what is it? 20870 And you lost your chaperon?"
20870And you never meet him?
20870And you really have patients?
20870And you will not write to your David?
20870Angry with the girls?
20870Any one hurt?
20870Are n''t they dreadful to get so far away?
20870Are n''t you afraid in the bungalow-- just you and your mother in this lonely place?
20870Are there?
20870Are they gone?
20870Are you girls going to stay alone to- night?
20870Are you hurt, Cora?
20870Are you not afraid of that old woman?
20870Are you so tired? 20870 Are you sure every one is here, Max?"
20870Because there are so many kinds of people that----"We are all chorus, and no spot light?
20870Belle, if you insist upon going on motor tours, why do n''t you try to get some sense?
20870Belle?
20870Breath, was n''t that what you wanted? 20870 Brother?"
20870Built it?
20870But Ed''s?
20870But I do n''t believe the cottage would mind it the least bit, would you?
20870But I have no mother, no father, and what right have they to me? 20870 But could I prove that the man had it?
20870But could n''t I get some for you, or send you some?
20870But he could not work-- he is ill?
20870But how does he come to be Leland?
20870But how is the man we-- that is-- who went to the hospital?
20870But if she will not?
20870But in the morning, when they find three gone-- what then?
20870But is n''t it dangerous?
20870But is there anything wrong? 20870 But is there no manager at the hotel?
20870But say, Betty, did you notice how the daddy takes up with the doc?
20870But suppose he knew of this crime?
20870But suppose she does not come?
20870But the old Gypsy?
20870But what shall I do?
20870But what would happen when we found ourselves out in the dark woods? 20870 But whatever took him into the kitchen?"
20870But where can they be cooked?
20870But why ask girls for it?
20870But why did you sing, Cora? 20870 But, if you did attract attention, would not that possibly help you to get away?"
20870Ca n''t it be fixed?
20870Ca n''t we go out this morning?
20870Camping?
20870Can you not sleep?
20870Cora? 20870 Could any have left the country by way of Boston?"
20870Could anything ignite?
20870Could it be any one from the outside?
20870Could n''t a fellow or two do the toting?
20870Could not Lena take a letter for me?
20870Could we get Lena to take a note to David? 20870 Did Cora say so?"
20870Did Lena say it was all right?
20870Did it strike you, boys, that this man answers the description of the man Mrs. Robbins was frightened by?
20870Did n''t Liza tell your fortune once, and say that you were going to marry the proverbial butter tub? 20870 Did the boys say they would come directly from the post- office?"
20870Did you bring the hot- water bottle?
20870Did you bump into something?
20870Did you ever see such a face?
20870Did you get a look at him?
20870Did you hear anything?
20870Did you hear that Miss Robbins is coming?
20870Did you kill him?
20870Did you really get a look at him?
20870Did, eh? 20870 Do n''t you believe me, Jack, that I was afraid?"
20870Do n''t you ever sink?
20870Do n''t you ever smoke?
20870Do n''t you remember how he soared around?
20870Do n''t you remember the gypsy''s warning? 20870 Do n''t you think it might be well----""To hire a special officer?
20870Do n''t you think that dangerous?
20870Do you compose?
20870Do you dig them?
20870Do you know a Betty?
20870Do you know what they do now with kidnappers?
20870Do you mind if I smoke?
20870Do you never leave here? 20870 Do you realize that a man has just jumped out of the window?"
20870Do you really think so? 20870 Do you really think they intend to keep me here?"
20870Do you recognize the prisoner?
20870Do you stay in doors all the time?
20870Do you suppose Walter and Ed are dead?
20870Do you suppose they will say anything about her shooting him?
20870Do you think he is a burglar?
20870Do you think it is safe about Lena?
20870Do you think you are strong enough to take milk? 20870 Do you wish anything?"
20870Do you? 20870 For a couple of jobs?"
20870Girls, do you imagine we would sit here calmly and try to quiet you if there was anything actually wrong?
20870Got room enough?
20870Had Miss Kimball any girl enemies? 20870 Had one on trial?"
20870Had you trouble?
20870Has Nettie a key?
20870Has all the wood been searched?
20870Have n''t you forgotten him yet? 20870 Have we so many houses?"
20870Have you been there?
20870Have you no idea?
20870Helka,she said,"could I, too, go?"
20870How about sand bars, Ed?
20870How could you escape?
20870How did you get me indoors?
20870How do you know it''s for me?
20870How do you know that?
20870How do you manage to get such up- to- date clothes?
20870How long will it take?
20870How many pounds?
20870How would you go?
20870How?
20870I forgot my lesson book in your room to- day,said a voice that proved to be that of Christine,"and may I get it?"
20870I know what you think, but suppose you got out some time? 20870 I say, sis,"he pleaded,"ca n''t we get back?
20870I should n''t care so much,Belle confided to her twin sister,"but when we get to Lenox alone, without a chaperon, what will people say?"
20870I wonder how Jack got him to leave her?
20870I wonder if it is late or early for motorists?
20870I wonder if they do n''t want to change cars?
20870I wonder who it could be? 20870 I wonder why they took me?"
20870I wonder----"Who''s kissing her now?
20870If Nettie does not come,remarked Ed,"are you sure, Cora, you wo n''t be the least bit afraid alone at the cottage?"
20870If everything in the kitchen is gone, do n''t you think we had better bring back some refreshments?
20870If they should keep her down stairs all night, then could we not venture to leave?
20870Is he dead?
20870Is it morning?
20870Is n''t it good to be in the open air?
20870Is n''t it splendid?
20870Is n''t she beautiful?
20870Is she?
20870Is that so?
20870Is this not a pleasant place?
20870Is this the girl we are after?
20870It is your home?
20870Jack,she began,"do you know that the people in the gypsy wagon really did try to stop us?
20870Jack,she repeated,"Jack what?"
20870Looks funny, though, does n''t it, Tony?
20870Might we intrude for a little water?
20870Might we run onto one?
20870More haunted house?
20870Must we? 20870 My, was n''t that a bright stroke of lightning?"
20870No one else gone?
20870Not afraid for yourself?
20870Not deserting us, are they?
20870Now, Mr. Rand,corrected Cora,"did n''t you take a peek into my auto the night it broke down?
20870Now, could n''t you just tuck in somehow and sleep a wink or two? 20870 Now, is n''t that nice of them?
20870Now, is n''t that pretty?
20870Of course, whoever thought it?
20870Of course, why not? 20870 Oh, Jim, was n''t it?
20870Oh, but was n''t it exciting, though?
20870Oh, do you think they have harmed Betty?
20870Oh, we fellows do n''t mind it, but, sis, might not some cocoon drop in your hair in the night? 20870 Oh, where?"
20870Oh, you did? 20870 Out where?"
20870Praise from you? 20870 Pretty good firing, eh?"
20870Ran away?
20870Say, are you girls going to stay here all summer?
20870Shall we hunt for you?
20870Shall_ I_?
20870Should he go to the hospital?
20870So you are the Motor Girls?
20870Some what?
20870Stay here all year?
20870Surely Lena would not have betrayed us?
20870Tell him Helka says you must go to bed: to bed, do you hear? 20870 Tell your fortune, lady?
20870The boy with a smile? 20870 The robber?"
20870The very safest thing, for he is a man, and how could they injure him?
20870Then you are content here? 20870 Then you are so sure of reaching them?"
20870Then you will write to- morrow? 20870 These-- in the evening on the water?"
20870This looks dreadfully lonely, does n''t it?
20870This seems too good to last,prophesied Belle, with a sigh,"Do you think it was all right to leave the cottage alone?"
20870To- night?
20870We can leave the cellar window----"We can do nothing of the sort, Bess Robinson,interrupted Belle,"and have that man sneak in?
20870Well, did n''t he prowl around the very first day we came in from leaving mother at the train? 20870 Well, what''s the answer?"
20870Well? 20870 Were you frightened?"
20870What a fine chauffeur Miss Cora is?
20870What about him do you remember?
20870What can be the matter?
20870What can we cook on?
20870What did she say about Salvo?
20870What did your visitor look like?
20870What do you say to all crowding into the_ Whirlwind_ and talking it out the rest of the night? 20870 What do you say, papa?"
20870What do you suppose they are up to?
20870What do you think, boys? 20870 What do you want?"
20870What do you want?
20870What do you want?
20870What do you want?
20870What does that mean?
20870What for?
20870What happened to them?
20870What happened?
20870What happened?
20870What has happened?
20870What have you got to say for yourself, Tony?
20870What is it, Cora?
20870What is it, Cora?
20870What is it?
20870What is it?
20870What is that?
20870What kept you?
20870What name? 20870 What next?"
20870What saved the second floor?
20870What shall we do first?
20870What sort of dogs are they?
20870What time do you clam?
20870What time is it?
20870What time is it?
20870What was it? 20870 What would any one want in these woods at night?"
20870What''s the matter?
20870What''s this?
20870What''s up? 20870 What, Ed?"
20870What, dear?
20870What, madam?
20870What?
20870When is Miss Robbins coming?
20870When shall we hear all about it?
20870Where are Walter and Ed?
20870Where are they going?
20870Where can she be-- to sing, and to sing like that?
20870Where has he gone?
20870Where in the world is Hemlock Bend?
20870Where is Belle?
20870Where is Bess?
20870Where is Sam?
20870Where-- am I? 20870 Where?"
20870Where?
20870Where?
20870Which way?
20870Who did you say told you about this?
20870Who is going to take it now?
20870Whoever thought we would be stalled, that we would lose Miss Robbins, and that we would have to camp out all night in the_ Whirlwind_?
20870Whom do you think is coming to nurse Belle? 20870 Why ca n''t we clam, Wallie?"
20870Why did you speak about the gypsies?
20870Why do n''t you give the boys credit, once in a while, for having a little common sense?
20870Why not? 20870 Why not?
20870Why not?
20870Why should you not be?
20870Why?
20870Why?
20870Why?
20870Why?
20870Why?
20870Will he not go home with you?
20870With Ed? 20870 With a ball in his leg, or somewhere?
20870With the horns?
20870Would you?
20870Yes, and will the young lady like some of your robes? 20870 Yes, do n''t you know?
20870Yes, is this the Hemlock Bend? 20870 You are with the motor girls, are n''t you?"
20870You are wondering about my glass? 20870 You do n''t mean to say that you are going on some dangerous trip in the mountains-- yes, I hear, in the mountains-- to help some foolish girl?
20870You expected me?
20870You have it all planned?
20870You say silver was stolen from the seashore cottage? 20870 You thought I deserted you?"
20870You, Lena-- why?
20870You, Regina? 20870 ''Love''s Hankering?''
20870''Love''s Latitude?''"
20870About me?"
20870Am I in America?"
20870And your brother?"
20870Any who might like to-- well, would it be possible for them to induce her to go away, on some pretext, so that she might be detained?"
20870Anything I could do for you?"
20870Are you crazy?"
20870Are you going to strike?"
20870Are you very tired?"
20870As they entered the little parlor Bess drew Cora aside and demanded:"How ever did Walter find out that she''d just love to go to the Berkshires?
20870Bess said I was never the least bit afraid----""And are you?"
20870Bess, can you help me slip in a tube and put on a shoe?"
20870Bess, may I take your car in for you?"
20870Betty, ca n''t you come with us?
20870But of what avail was that?
20870But some day-- who can tell what you and I may do?"
20870But suppose he should insist on-- on digging sewers?"
20870But the men-- the guards?"
20870But what do they want to know about you that they can not readily find out?"
20870But who has Lena?"
20870But will you please finish pumping first?"
20870CHAPTER II STRIKE OF THE"LEADING LADY""Exactly what did you mean, Cora?"
20870CHAPTER V FRIEND OR FOE?
20870CHAPTER XII QUEER COBBLERS"Is n''t she disappointing?"
20870CHAPTER XXIX A REAL LOVE FEAST"However did it happen?"
20870CHAPTER XXV THE AWAKENING"What did I do?
20870CHAPTER XXVIII VICTORY"Is SHE asleep?"
20870Can you furnish a thousand- dollar bond?"
20870Cora, where is the little gun?"
20870Could it be possible that anything had really happened to her?
20870Could she have been kidnapped?
20870Delighted?
20870Did I not give it to her?"
20870Did I-- did they-- oh, tell me?"
20870Did he run away?"
20870Did he?"
20870Did n''t Mother Hull warn you not to go against Salvo?"
20870Did n''t we, Helka?"
20870Did you ever hear of anything so idiotic?
20870Did you ever see such clouds?"
20870Did you hurt your nose?"
20870Did you like Porter?"
20870Do n''t you remember anything?"
20870Do you feel better?"
20870Do you hear?
20870Do you know anything about poisons?"
20870Do you know when you fainted they were all very much frightened?
20870Do you like music?"
20870Do you want to go back to the cave?"
20870Does n''t that name suit you?
20870Going away?
20870Had he news?
20870Have you had any since you went to housekeeping?"
20870Have you not one for me today, Lena?"
20870Here, man,"to Walter,"do n''t you know better than to drive the lady into the barn?"
20870Here?"
20870How are you?"
20870How could you?"
20870How did his particular hat get there?"
20870How do we know but that we might meet the gypsies on this lonely road?"
20870How long ago?"
20870How shall I ever be able to get that?"
20870I do wonder what is keeping Lena?"
20870I have no fear of its strange ways-- but my money?
20870If you should make a lady out of a savage, would you think your time ill spent?"
20870Is n''t it dreadful to be a girl, and have to be toted around under some maternal wing?"
20870Is n''t it fine that the boys attended to all that arrest and police business for us?"
20870Is not that a light?"
20870Is there any news?"
20870Is there no trace of her?
20870Might she have married the sick man?
20870Mr. Foster, will you kindly pick out the man who told you about that message?"
20870Nothing to do?
20870Now this time you are really going to allow us to go in the line, eh?"
20870Now, how do you like this?"
20870Now, that''s what I call real cozy, and real----""Jack,"interrupted Cora,"have we ever had a long trip entirely without you?"
20870Now, what do you think of your brother as a public lecturer?"
20870Now, what in the world is she being rescued from?
20870Now, what shall I sing-- the''Gypsy''s Warning?''"
20870Now, you really ca n''t be----""What?
20870Oh, Helka, can you imagine we are so near freedom?"
20870Oh, what would she not give for one moment with them?
20870Or ask who is there?"
20870Rand?"
20870Rand?"
20870Run away?"
20870See it near the roof?"
20870Shall I sing?"
20870Should we call?
20870Standing over her was a woman-- or was it a dream?
20870Suppose the gypsy should hypnotize her into sleep and that she might not be able to awaken?
20870That you, Leland?"
20870The missing girl from the hotel, is the one you mean, is n''t it?"
20870Was Cora really awake?
20870Was it smoke or perfume?
20870Was it the moonlight on the baby waves?
20870Was n''t that dangerous?"
20870Well, now, was n''t it lucky I had the revolver?"
20870Were they following her?
20870Were they held up?
20870What about the dogs?"
20870What could she mean?
20870What do you think would be the act?"
20870What does this mean?"
20870What happened?
20870What more could she ask now?
20870What name did you say, sir?"
20870What really had become of daring, dashing Cora Kimball?
20870What shall I do?
20870What shall we buy?"
20870What was his name?"
20870What would be the outcome of their anxiety?
20870What would happen then?"
20870What''s that?
20870What''s the matter?"
20870What''s this?"
20870When do we start, if a fellow might make bold to ask?
20870Where am I?"
20870Where are the dogs?"
20870Where are you all?
20870Where do we stop tonight?"
20870Where''s your boat?"
20870Who are you?"
20870Who could she be?
20870Who could tell what would be the end of it all?
20870Who do you suppose he might be?"
20870Who knows anything about such persons or their doings?"
20870Who was or who is boss?"
20870Why did n''t the boys chase him?"
20870Why did you not call me?"
20870Why did you say they call you Helka?"
20870Why should I be?
20870Why should she?
20870Why should the man not be rude when her evidence had accused him of a serious crime-- that of breaking and entering?
20870Why, what''s this?
20870Wo n''t you please get a bucket from the hall?"
20870Would she really be found?
20870Would that dreadful old woman enter the room and perhaps insult her?
20870Would the trees never stop rustling, and would the steps below never cease their shuffling?
20870Would you believe it?
20870Would you take wine?"
20870Yes?
20870You are not lonely?"
20870You have n''t happened to hear or to have seen anything of a young girl in these parts, a girl-- who might have gotten lost in the woods; have you?"
20870You know, we are called the motor girls, do n''t you?"
20870are all his good looks gone?"
20870but how and when?
20870is n''t that lovely?"
20870is there danger?"
20870or was it something indefinable that so awakened the sentiments of the party of gay motorists?
20870said Cora, when she could get her voice,"however did you venture out here?"
20870was it the murmur of that gliding boat?
20870what is it?"
20870what is that?"
20870what shall we do?"
20870where is Miss Robbins?"
20870you frightened, mother?
16101A silence strike?
16101A singular conveyance, is it not, Poynter?
16101A while back,mused Diane innocently,"there was a shooting star above the ridge--""Yes?"
16101And I?
16101And I?
16101And Philip?
16101And Ras?
16101And Ronador?
16101And Themar?
16101And at sunset?
16101And having disposed of her,supplied Carl,"you flew up the stairs, applied the key made from the impression-- and stole the paper?"
16101And sometime you will come here again?
16101And the Princess Phaedra?
16101And the first paper?
16101And the key, Themar,he reminded gently,"the key to the Baron''s desk?
16101And the over- feminine woman?
16101And the proposition which is at the same time commercial, eugenic and-- er-- personal?
16101And the source?
16101And what have you accomplished?
16101And what,begged Diane presently,"do you do when it rains?"
16101And you''ve never been honestly contented since?
16101And you, Poynter?
16101And you?
16101And your cousin?
16101And your father, Philip?
16101And your name?
16101Are you a fussy pessimist?
16101Are you asleep?
16101Are you aware,inquired the girl, biting her lip,"that you''re trespassing?"
16101Are you hurt?
16101Are you man or devil?
16101Are you man or saint,he cried at last,"that you can forgive as I have seen your eyes forgive to- night?"
16101Are you-- er-- sinking or merely there?
16101Aunt Agatha,exclaimed the girl impetuously,"why have you always been so reticent about my mother?"
16101Aunt Agatha,grumbled Carl kindly,"why fuss so?
16101Aunt Agatha,said Diane kindly,"why not remember that you''re no longer burdened with the terrible responsibility of bringing Carl and me up?
16101Aunt Agatha,she exclaimed,"what is it?
16101But the trail, Philip?
16101But why should I worry?
16101But,purred the Baron,"why seek a keyhole?"
16101Can you add anything to that?
16101Can you follow us to the camp fire yonder?
16101Carl,he said at last,"tell me, are you honestly in earnest when you rag the fellows so about work and decency and all that sort of thing?"
16101Diane,he asked gravely,"I wonder how much that incredible tale of the old candlestick pleased you?"
16101Did n''t the dub carry any conventional antiseptics?
16101Did n''t we take a whole year to motor over Europe?
16101Did n''t you know,_ really_? 16101 Did n''t you tell me yesterday that you''d had a feeling some one had been spying on your camp?"
16101Did you find it during your ten days in the town- house?
16101Did you like your shirt?
16101Difficult, too, is n''t it?
16101Do n''t you remember Mrs. Jarley''s wagon?
16101Do n''t you remember? 16101 Do you like to float about and smoke?"
16101Do you withdraw into a sound- proof shell when you think?
16101Does Johnny have complete freedom in your camp?
16101Does it pain much?
16101Has a_ real_ air of distinction, has n''t he, Susanne? 16101 Has n''t Ann told you?
16101Have I ever misplaced your trust?
16101Have I not even kept your secret from your father?
16101Have you ever endured hardship of any kind?
16101Have you ever met this king- pin I''m exploiting?
16101Have you forgotten?
16101He is here?
16101Honest Injun?
16101How did you discover its whereabouts?
16101How did you know?
16101How long since you''ve had a drink, Dick?
16101How many times,she begged hopelessly,"must I tell you that I am not collecting ridiculous bugs?"
16101Hunch,he exclaimed with an involuntary glance at the mended candlestick,"where in the devil did you get this?"
16101I am to understand that I would undertake this peculiar mission equipped with no further information than you have offered?
16101I beg your pardon,stammered Diane,"but-- but are you by any chance waiting-- to be rescued?"
16101I believe,said Diane disapprovingly,"that you were cutting giddy circles over the water and dipping and skimming, were n''t you?"
16101I may be honored by your reasons, Poynter?
16101I may speak with freedom?
16101I meant to mention it before--"What is it?
16101I take it then,he suggested,"that you know the nomadic lady, Baron Tregar?"
16101I trust,said Philip politely,"that you are better?"
16101I wonder,begged Diane impetuously,"if you''ll tell me who Mic- co is?
16101I-- I am indeed, but I could n''t in the least know that he went about killing people, could I, Diane?
16101If I do not mind it,said Carl in aggrieved surprise,"why should you?"
16101In God''s name what threatens her, that even here in these God- forsaken wilds she is not safe?
16101In God''s name,thundered practical Philip,"why did n''t you look in the other candlestick?"
16101Is he the first?
16101Is it not a pretty farewell?
16101Is n''t it?
16101Is that possible?
16101Is there not more romance and adventure in the life of a wandering minstrel than in that of an idle seeker after health? 16101 Is there nothing I may keep from you?"
16101It spoke of-- of marriage?
16101It would give a definite and unselfish direction to your own life, would it not, like those weeks at the farm with Wherry?
16101Johnny,begged Philip,"get Miss Diane some chicken implements, will you, old man?
16101Johnny,she said,"just why are there so many drowsy negroes about driving loads of hay?
16101Just what do you mean?
16101Just what do you mean?
16101Just what, Poynter,begged the Baron,"is a black- and- tan?"
16101Just when,said he lazily,"did you steal the paper I found in the candlestick?
16101Just why,begged Philip icily,"did you wish me to intrude further upon the hospitality of Miss Westfall?"
16101May I see you?
16101May I-- may I not know that too?
16101May a man look upon such remorse as that,asked Mic- co,"and not forgive?
16101Miss Westfall-- I spied upon her camp in Connecticut--"Yes?
16101My good man,she demanded,"what do you mean by lying here on a lace spread with your feet tied and your head scarred?"
16101My word as a gentleman is sufficient?
16101Of-- of the Indian mother?
16101Oh, what is abroad in the marsh and the terminal sea? 16101 One does not quite understand,"he suggested raising handsome eyebrows in subtle disapproval;"the negro, the hay-- the curious camp?"
16101One may pay his respects to Miss Westfall?
16101One o''them damned black- and- tans, eh?
16101Philip,he choked, unnerved by the other''s gentleness,"you don''t-- you ca n''t mean-- you believe in me--_yet_?"
16101Philip,she whispered with dark, tragic eyes fixed upon his face,"who-- who shot the bullet that night?
16101Philip-- was it-- was it Themar''s knife?
16101Quarreled with his father or something, did n''t he?
16101See here,broke in Jem, somewhat staggered by the careless manner in which Mr. Poynter handled fortunes,"hain''t no foul play about this here, eh?
16101She told you?
16101So Monsieur has heard that tune before? 16101 So?"
16101So?
16101So?
16101Surely, Carl,she exclaimed with a swift, level glance,"you do n''t mean that you care?"
16101Tell me where in the world did you get your camp equipment?
16101Tell me, Keela, what does it mean?
16101Tell me, old man,begged Philip whimsically,"what would you do?
16101Tell me,she begged impetuously,"what was that other reason why I must not journey to Florida in the van?
16101The Baron knew of your ten days in my cousin''s house?
16101The music?
16101The white father?
16101Themar?
16101Then you will answer what I ask?
16101There was passion and dishonor in my heart, Keela, until, one night, I fought and won--"Is it not enough for me that you won?
16101There''s a lot to tell--"The other candlestick?
16101Throw them out?
16101To whom?
16101Was it necessary to affect callow inexperience and such a happy- go- lucky, imbecile philosophy?
16101Was it necessary to humiliate me in the presence of Miss Westfall?
16101We fly this morning?
16101Well,fumed Starrett irritably,"why in thunder do n''t you say something?"
16101Well,said Mr. Poynter indifferently,"where are you going?"
16101Well,said Philip abruptly,"do you mind if I say that your trip seems a most imprudent venture?"
16101Well?
16101Well?
16101What are you going to do with these?
16101What bullet?
16101What did he hope to gain by writing to Houdania?
16101What do you mean?
16101What do you understand, little Indian lady?
16101What glints so oddly there,he wondered,"when the fire leaps?"
16101What in the world are you going back to the farm for? 16101 What in the world is it all about?"
16101What in the_ world_ is it all about?
16101What is he doing?
16101What is it, Aunt Agatha?
16101What is it, Diane?
16101What is it?
16101What is it?
16101What is it?
16101What is your favorite painting?
16101What is your real name?
16101What of her? 16101 What reason?"
16101What was it?
16101What was it?
16101What were Tregar''s intentions about the paper?
16101What will you do now, Dick? 16101 What''s the trouble?"
16101What''s wantin''?
16101What''s wrong?
16101What,asked the girl seriously,"is a palmer?"
16101What,questioned the Baron presently,"think you, are my fine gentleman''s plans, Poynter?"
16101What,said he sullenly to Philip,"would you have us do?"
16101What?
16101When did you hit the trail?
16101When do you think you''ll go?
16101When you took service with my aunt in the spring, you were looking for a certain paper?
16101Where are you going?
16101Where are you?
16101Where are your lights?
16101Where did you get tomatoes?
16101Where have you been all day?
16101Where in thunder have I seen him before?
16101Where is Themar?
16101Where is he?
16101Where is the paper now?
16101Where is this persistent young nomad of the hay- camp anyway?
16101Where were you?
16101Where ye want him took?
16101Where''s His Nibs?
16101Where,demanded Diane hopelessly,"did you get this ridiculous outfit?"
16101Where,demanded Diane indignantly,"did you come from anyway?"
16101Where,demanded Diane,"is the hay- camp?"
16101Who are you,he whispered,"that you suffer with him now?
16101Who attempted to kill Miss Westfall?
16101Who blundered?
16101Who,he demanded elaborately,"who ever heard of a treasonous barnacle before?
16101Who,said the girl gravely in a clear, rich contralto,"who are you?"
16101Why are you following me with the music- machine?
16101Why are you here?
16101Why are you so quiet?
16101Why are you so suspicious?
16101Why did n''t you float about and smoke on Mr. Sherrill''s lake?
16101Why did you serve in my cousin''s house without the knowledge of the Baron?
16101Why do n''t you break away from this sort of thing, Dick?
16101Why do you look at me so?
16101Why do you speak of it?
16101Why do you think I adopted the stained face-- the disguise of a wandering minstrel?
16101Why does Ronador fear for his son? 16101 Why does he ride away for days with Sho- caw?"
16101Why fuss now?
16101Why is it that you must ask me all these things that I may not honorably answer?
16101Why is it,she demanded,"that no one ever seems to understand what I''m saying?
16101Why must we talk in riddles?
16101Why not bring your own plate, knife, fork, spoon and a good saw over to my hay- camp and dine with me? 16101 Why not give me a logical reason for your presence in America?"
16101Why not? 16101 Why not?"
16101Why take to the highway,begged Philip guilelessly,"when the task is so unpleasant?"
16101Why were you happier after the storm?
16101Why were you in the forest that night of storm and wind?
16101Why,cried Diane,"did you fight with Themar in the forest?
16101Why,hissed the Baron,"did you lie?
16101Why?
16101Why?
16101Why?
16101Why?
16101Will you be through by noon?
16101Will you go alone?
16101Will you take Diane an extra raincoat and rubbers?
16101Will you?
16101Yes,said Ronador impatiently,"what is it?"
16101Yes?
16101Yes?
16101Yes?
16101Yes?
16101Yes?
16101Yes?
16101Yes?
16101Yes?
16101Yes?
16101You are fully decided to break faith with Phaedra, knowing what may come of it?
16101You are strong-- and sure?
16101You have been lonely?
16101You hear it, Tregar? 16101 You honestly mean that you do n''t know?"
16101You like it?
16101You mean--"That they did not take a child away from the Indian village as the paper in the candlestick declares--"And the daughter of Theodomir?
16101You read the paper of course when you stole it from my desk?
16101You spoke of seeing Carl?
16101You went back later?
16101You will go again to- night?
16101You will we d Prince Ronador?
16101You would go back then, ill, sullen, resentful, with the news that we must lay before your father? 16101 You would not have me break mine?"
16101You-- you dragged him there?
16101Your money is quite gone, is it not?
16101Your trip to New York last night was-- hum-- uneventful?
16101A fool might have turned-- and been shot in the back for his pains, eh?
16101A king so mad that the affairs of a nation must be administered by a prince regent-- your father?
16101And added naïvely,"She was the Roman goddess of light-- and of hunting, is it not so?"
16101And added, acidly,"Where are you going?''
16101And if it is, where under Heaven has he been driving that hay for the last three days?"
16101And the paper?
16101And who may say?
16101And who taught you how to walk?
16101And why in thunder did Themar crib an aeroplane and bump his fool head?"
16101And why must his life touch mine after all these years?"
16101And why, Monsieur,"purred Carl softly,"did you seek to kill me by a trick?"
16101And you, Keela?"
16101Are love and hatred then akin?"
16101Are you a guest of hers?"
16101Are you an orphan?"
16101Are you better now?"
16101Are you coming along to- night or not?"
16101Are you going to fuss about that?"
16101Away from Ronador?
16101But that night by the old chief''s camp fire, Philip discovered--""Yes?"
16101But what of it?
16101But why?"
16101By and by, Diane, you will write to the lodge of Mic- co?
16101CHAPTER II AN INDOOR TEMPEST"If you''re broke,"said Starrett, leering,"why do n''t you marry your cousin?"
16101CHAPTER XXXVII IN THE GLADES"What the devil is the matter with you, Carl?"
16101Can you get down?"
16101Can you not see it?"
16101Did I tell you that last night, after all our discomfort, I got nothing but a smelly buzzard?
16101Did n''t I rescue a dime from the fish?"
16101Did n''t you know she was at the farm?"
16101Did the Baron''s eyes flash suddenly with a queer dry humor?
16101Did the storm get you last night, Philip?"
16101Do n''t I, mother?"
16101Do you know the Sherrills?"
16101Do you know the way to the attic door in the west wing?"
16101Do you know what I thought that day on the lake when I saw you coming through the trees?
16101Do you know?"
16101Does n''t it ever get you?"
16101Doubtless the Baron''s hostess had heard?
16101Excellency knows the-- er-- romantic ensemble?"
16101French, was it not?
16101From the forest came again the signal:"Where are you?"
16101Had n''t you heard?
16101Has it not occurred to you that after all it is the sanest way out of this horrible muddle?"
16101Have I not said again and again that I am Sigimund Jokai, of Vienna, touring in America?"
16101Have you by any chance a reputable rope anywhere about you?"
16101Have you ever longed to sleep in the woods,"she added abruptly,"with stars twinkling overhead and the moonlight showering softly through the trees?"
16101Have you no single thought of regret for that fair land of ours you left?"
16101He taught you about Rome?"
16101Hello, Hunch, is that you?"
16101How could I take that other man''s child?
16101How did you know?"
16101How safeguard his life from the men who were hunting him?
16101How should I know why it was burning?
16101I am assured of your interest, Poynter?"
16101I am hot of temper--""And kill whoever angers you?
16101I knew it would come out-- though how could I foresee that the Baron and Mr. Poynter and the Prince would know?
16101I know your head was turned a bit by the salary Starrett gave you, but you''ll not go back to that sort of work for a while anyway, will you?"
16101I may trust at least to your silence?"
16101I sincerely hope you''re not too fastidious for tin cups?"
16101I think I know--""You will not tell me?"
16101I was not in the_ least_ aware that our mysterious incognito was a prince, were you, Diane?"
16101I''ve a little--""Would a thousand a year see you through, with what you''ve got?"
16101I-- I''ve never spoken of her before-- I was n''t fit--""Yes?"
16101If-- if you could have told me something different--""Is it useless to ask you to trust me, Diane?"
16101Is it a candle or an electric bulb?"
16101Is it an inherited appetite?"
16101Is it not better to tell me than foolishly to waste such splendid nerve and grit as you possess?"
16101Is it the revolver?"
16101Is n''t it funny?
16101Is n''t it plaintive?"
16101Is n''t it romantic?
16101Is n''t it_ wonderful_ to have such unique and thrilling adventures?
16101Is not that enough?
16101It was bad enough to have you in those horrible Glades, but Diane--""Aunt Agatha,"said Carl patiently,"what in thunder are you driving at anyway?"
16101It''s the best farm in the valley, but, you see, he has n''t the time and he''s growing old--""Why not take a course at an agricultural college?"
16101Johnny, old top, see if you can rustle up a loaf of bread to lend me for breakfast, will you?
16101Just how,"begged Philip,"does one go about effecting a national ordinance to keep hay- carts off the highway?"
16101Mamma, too, had a gift of feeling things she did n''t know for sure-- mamma did!--and the servants talk-- of course they do!--who would n''t?
16101May I not do that too?"
16101May I smoke?"
16101May we not wander casually into camp and look at my beautiful gypsy lady without fussing unduly about this infernal mission?
16101Might not something utterly new and barbaric come of it with proper direction?
16101Miss Westfall, are you a slave driver?"
16101More coffee?"
16101Must I alter my plans for somebody''s stray bullet?"
16101Must you add to all this the disgrace of breaking faith with Galituria and plunging your country into war?
16101No?
16101Now why Diane''s cheeks should blaze so hotly at this aristocratic claim of Mr. Poynter''s, who may say?
16101Odd, was n''t it?"
16101Or is that the same one?
16101Poynter, who in blue blazes are you looking for?"
16101Poynter?"
16101Queer, are n''t they?
16101Romantic, is n''t it?
16101Seems to have blowy white things at the sides like window curtains, does n''t it?"
16101Singular, was it not?
16101So disturbing is the notion,"added Philip unquietly,"that--""Yes?"
16101Staring intently at the sunlit road, he added:"Is it a common mode of travel-- here in America?"
16101Surely it is not difficult to catch his meaning?"
16101Symbolic of the spirit of progress which hangs now above the Glades, is it not?
16101Tell me,"he added humorously to Diane,"just how do you contrive to remember bread and salt?"
16101That is fair?"
16101That was your intention?"
16101There are but few--""She spoke of your own father?"
16101There are possibilities of confidences over a camp fire--""You expected me to-- spy upon Miss Westfall?"
16101There is more?"
16101There remained, financially, what?
16101There''s something else--""Yes?"
16101Think I told you I''d spent a month or so in a Houdanian monastery several years ago, did n''t I, Dick?"
16101To what do you attribute it?"
16101Uncah?
16101Was Ronador forgotten?
16101Was not my wildest error,"he demanded reverting afresh to the other''s reproach,"that homesick letter that brought him to my side?
16101Well, young fellow, what do you think of yourself, eh?"
16101What did he mean to- night?"
16101What do you want?"
16101What has Themar been doing?
16101What have you done?
16101What if Diane were to--_die_?
16101What in the world am I to do with him?
16101What is he to me?
16101What is it?
16101What made the racket?"
16101What man is better than another?
16101What might opportunity do for this strange, exotic flower of Osceola''s people?
16101What stung so?"
16101What was the portent of his peculiar interest anyway?
16101What were you doing in the meantime?"
16101What wonder if Diane built faces and fancies in the ember- glow of the Seminole fire- wheel?
16101What wonder if Indian instincts had driven her forth to the wild?
16101What wonder if like the pine- wood sparrow and the wind of Okeechobee the voice of the woodland always questioned?
16101What wonder if the dawn was streaked with imperial purple?
16101What wonder if the soft, musical tongue of the Seminole had come lightly to her lips?
16101What wonder that he lingered?
16101What ye goin''to do with him?"
16101What''s the matter with my legs, Carl?"
16101When in the world did you come back from the farm, child?
16101Where is the candlestick?
16101Where was Houdania?
16101Who are you that you know the tongue of my country?"
16101Who came to America when his letter of homesick pleading came?
16101Who found it?"
16101Who is Theodomir?
16101Who killed him when conscience and duty would have sent him back to the court of his father?
16101Who knew when he fled wildly away from the pomp and inequalities he hated?
16101Who knows?
16101Who watched for his secret letters?
16101Who?
16101Why are you so white and quiet, Diane?
16101Why did he follow-- always follow?
16101Why did he make me ridiculous at the Sherrill fête?
16101Why did my first inkling of its effect come in the sight of your face in suspicious territory?
16101Why did you go to the Westfall camp and attack Poynter?
16101Why did you hum when you cooked his supper and called to him through the trees?"
16101Why did you swear these scars came from a disastrous flight in a stolen aeroplane?
16101Why do you fuss so about little things?
16101Why fuss about it, Diane?
16101Why had he not thought of that before?
16101Why had the Baron wished him to stay in the camp of Diane?
16101Why has it been ignored?
16101Why have you been spying upon Miss Westfall when I expressly forbade it?"
16101Why have you night after night watched my camp?
16101Why impoverish my existence by a lost opportunity?
16101Why is Granberry still alive?
16101Why is he driving about now in the music- machine to mock me?
16101Why mean anything when words come so easy without?
16101Why moon so and shoot pebbles at the frogs?"
16101Why not stay in bed and let Johnny bring your breakfast to you?"
16101Why not wait until your tea is a little cooler?"
16101Why should I tell him?
16101Why that mad stir of love- hunger to- night as Diane stood in the doorway?
16101Why the swift black flash of hatred now?
16101Why were you creeping to her wigwam to- night with a knife in your hand?"
16101Why write?
16101Why,"he added curtly,"did you later spy upon my cousin''s camp when Tregar had expressly forbidden it?"
16101Why?
16101Why?
16101Will you contribute enough hay for a cushion?
16101Will you lend me an inch or so of that stout invertebrate climbing out of the can by you?"
16101Will you never get over it?
16101Will you permit me to care?
16101Would he, think you, dare all this for the sake of-- spying?"
16101Would you believe that I lived for two days and nights in a mountain cave?
16101Would you mind,"her wonderful black eyes met his in a glance of frank inquiry,"would you mind-- explaining?
16101You are annoyed?"
16101You are sure about the paper?"
16101You go in the morning?"
16101You have climbed it perhaps-- touring?"
16101You know that?"
16101You know what lies on the other side?"
16101You mean your daughter?"
16101You remember?"
16101You trust me, Mic- co?"
16101You will not ride away soon to the far cities of the North?"
16101You wo n''t forget me, Keela?"
16101You''ll forgive me?"
16101You''ll go back to her?"
16101You''ll go-- for me?"
16101You''ll grant that?"
16101You''ll motor back with me?"
16101You''re strong enough to start now?"
16101Your aunt sat upon the floor of the hall crying--""Yes?"
16101Your father knows you are here in America?"
16101Your resolution to leave me-- that is final?"
16101_ To spy_?
16101begged Diane helplessly in a flash of foreboding,"what in creation are you trying to say?"
16101do I ever know, Jethro?
16101exclaimed Ann Sherrill one lazy morning,"what in the_ world_ is that exceedingly mournful tune you''re humming?"
16101guessed Carl keenly,"so you''re in some muddle there, too, eh?"
16101said Diane,"for Arcadia is Together- land, is n''t it, Philip?"
16101said Philip politely;"that was tough, was n''t it?"
