12940	But all the while we''ll be watching to trip him up, do n''t you see?
12940	But next week, with nothing on our hands, Hugh, we can turn our attention to this miserable business again, ca n''t we?

12940	Know anybody there, Lu, and do you want us to take him your best compliments?
12940	Listen, young fellers,remarked the still eating hobo, later on,"did n''t you tell me you lived in the place called Scranton, when you''re to home?"
12940	Looks like you folks might be going on a picnic somewhere?
12940	Meaning Matilda''s now quiet and respected brother Lu, eh?
12940	Now, about the folks in Scranton, I suppose you boys know about everybody in town?
12940	Ought we do it, Hugh?
12940	So she is the lady you want to see, is she, Lu? 12940 Tell me,"the tramp went on, now eagerly,"is his wife living, do you mean, younker, this Mrs. Hosmer, and is her name Matilda?"
12940	Then he''s going to skip out, is he?
12940	We told him we''d be around by nine in the morning, did n''t we? 12940 We''ll continue to do business at the old stand, shall we, then?"
12940	Well, Matilda, how do you like your new home?
12940	Well, as you''ve asked me to go along, Thad, I''ll accommodate you; but have you any little scheme on foot today?
12940	Well, what does it all mean, do you know, Hugh?
12940	Well, what''s new in the game, Thad?
12940	What is it you want?
12940	What makes you say that, Thad?
12940	What you saw gave you a sort of idea, did n''t it? 12940 What''s happened now?"
12940	What''s happened, Hugh? 12940 What''s the harm?"
12940	What, me?
12940	Where to?
12940	Which I suppose now you''ve done for a fact, Hugh?
12940	Why, what do you think of that?
12940	Why, what''s the matter with Andrew; why ca n''t he do his share?
12940	You''re wondering what it was Brother Lu meant to buy with his little fortune, eh?
12940	And, then, Hugh, what d''ye reckon his next move will be?"
12940	Anything connected with the Scranton High baseball team you want written up for next week?
12940	Besides, did n''t he tell us it was going to be Matilda''s birthday, and that he and Andrew had fixed it to surprise her a little?
12940	But I guess that ought to fill the bill, and give Brother Lu a little scare, eh, Thad, old scout?"
12940	But Jim took to the game like a terrier does to a rat, did n''t he?"
12940	But is this going to alter our plans any, Hugh?"
12940	CHAPTER XIII HUGH TRIES HIS"FADE- AWAY"BALL"Are you game, Frazer, for a desperate fight?"
12940	Coming over you rattled away like a blue streak, and now you have n''t so much as said ten words since we started back home?"
12940	Could you come over to our house, say about ten this morning, and fetch that sharp- eyed Thad along with you?
12940	Did he start a batting bee all over again?
12940	Did n''t you see how he devoured all that food at a sitting?
12940	Do you happen to know a chap who goes by the name of Andrew Hosmer?"
12940	Get that, boys?"
12940	How about it, Hugh?"
12940	How about it, Jerry, old top?"
12940	How about that, Wandering Lu?"
12940	How about that, boys?
12940	How long do we have to wait before making a start for the Hosmer cottage?
12940	However did it happen, Hugh; and what sort of a hand in it did you have?"
12940	Hugh, tell me, what do you think of that for a scheme; and might it do the work, would you say?"
12940	Hugh, you do n''t think for a minute, do you, that it might have been a counterfeit bill?"
12940	I guess they eat at any old time, just as the notion seizes them, eh, Hugh?"
12940	I suppose now you''ve traveled through that country in your time, Lu?"
12940	I wonder how far away our friend, Brother Lu, will be this time tomorrow?"
12940	I wonder if Matilda''ll care if we keep company with them on their picnic?
12940	I wonder if they''re meaning to cut those trees down and clear more land?"
12940	Is that the programme?"
12940	It''s the greatest thing that ever happened for Matilda, for Andrew; ditto for you and me, because we''ve had a hand in it all, have n''t we, Hugh?"
12940	Jim is sure a dandy when it comes to write- ups, is n''t he, though, Hugh?"
12940	Just strong enough to strike terror to the heart of that rascal, Brother Lu?"
12940	Now, what can I do for you, Thad, old scout?
12940	Out for a walk, are you, lads?"
12940	Say, that would just suit us to a fraction, would n''t it, Hugh?"
12940	Say, will a hungry fish snap at an angleworm when it''s dangled just in front of its nose?
12940	That''s all right, but why should he want to hide from me?
12940	Was he crooked, and inclined to evil ways; or, on the other hand, could he be taken at face value and set down as a pretty square sort of a fellow?
12940	Well, we''ll thank Brother Lu for being so kind, and as we have nothing else to do we''ll accept with celerity, eh, Hugh?
12940	What can poor old Mrs. Hosmer, who has seen so much trouble of late years, be to you, I''d like to know?"
12940	What did it mean?
12940	What did it mean?
12940	What do you say about tagging along?
12940	What''s his name, Wandering Lu?"
12940	Whoever heard of a tramp who did n''t respond to a dinner- bell on a farm?
12940	Would he again succeed in connecting with the elusive ball, and sending one or both runners home?
12940	Would she?
12940	Would you like it, Tilly?"
12940	You''ll draw it a bit mild, wo n''t you, Jim?
12940	You''re meaning to continue your campaign against our friend, Brother Lu--- how about that for a guess, Thad?"
12940	does that interest you at all, Mister Weary Willie?"
12940	excuse the mistake, will you?"
12940	have you found a way we can get rid of that sticker of a Brother Lu?
12940	however are we going to get rid of such a sticker?"
12940	is that so?"
12940	pursued Thad;"and try our level best to find out some way to force that leech to let go the hold he has secured on his sister?"
12940	so you concluded to turn back, did you?"
12940	that leech clear out, and free his poor sister from the load he''s gone and fastened on her?
12940	that''s the way the land lies, is it, Thad?
12940	who can it be?"
31396	And Captain Martin sent you over as a messenger, is that it, Bailey?
31396	And have I permission to go over to the Donohue home with that glorious news right away?
31396	And what wages does he expect to draw down, Alec? 31396 As what, Jack?"
31396	But Lucy?
31396	But tell me who was so ready to take his own life in his hands, so as to try and save my child for me?
31396	But what''s the matter with Fred?
31396	But, Jack, however could he explain where he got so much money?
31396	Did you ever hear of such a fine thing as that, Jack?
31396	Did you see that speed ball zip through the air, Specs?
31396	Do you know this for a certainty?
31396	Does it have a bearing on the great game with Harmony, Jack?
31396	Have any of you seen Lucy Badger? 31396 How about telling the other boys?"
31396	How about the third sack, Jack?
31396	How did Fred act then, Jack?
31396	How was that?
31396	How''d you find Hendrix today, Joel?
31396	How''s that, Jack?
31396	I sometimes feel that way myself, Toby, do n''t you know?
31396	I suppose now you''ve played football before, Jack?
31396	I wonder if they are?
31396	I wonder what we''ll have happen next, Jack? 31396 Is she here, men?"
31396	Just hold your horses, will you, Toby?
31396	Listen to all that squealing over among the women, will you?
31396	Listen to all that whooping, Ernest; what''s happening, do you think?
31396	Listen to the old croaker, will you?
31396	Mary, my wife, can you find it in your gentle heart to really forgive me?
31396	Meaning that same place you showed me, near where the road comes down close to the shore of the water?
31396	No one else; and what''s going on over at your house?
31396	Now, what under the sun''s gone and fetched that duck out here to bother Fred again? 31396 Now, what''s in the wind, Jack?"
31396	Oldsmith, you''re a back number today, do n''t you know?
31396	Say, he''s acting real spoony, is n''t he, Jack?
31396	Say, that rally in the ninth was a thrilling piece of business, was n''t it, Toby? 31396 Some stuff he''s got on that ball, hey?"
31396	Tell me how it happens, will you?
31396	That you, Jack?
31396	Then, Jack, why do n''t you try and figure out how you could put it up to Fred that way?
31396	Toby, you get one of those boards over yonder, and come out to help me if I''m in trouble, understand?
31396	Well,remarked Toby, as Jack made out to pick up his cap with the intention of leaving, since the hour was getting late,"one more day, and then what?
31396	What brings you over this way again? 31396 What can I do for you today?
31396	What for?
31396	What happened to him?
31396	What if he tries to kidnap her?
31396	What if we had n''t chanced to be on the road just at that very minute, Jack?
31396	What position did you fill?
31396	What''s that you said about my sister Lucy? 31396 What''s that?"
31396	What''s the matter here?
31396	Where''s Fred and his folks?
31396	Why, how can that be, Jack?
31396	Will I stand by you fellows, and work in that game, are you asking me, Jack?
31396	Would you mind telling me what he was promised over at Harmony?
31396	Am I right?"
31396	And just as you say, the game would like as not have to be postponed, because how could we play as we would want to with a chum lying dead at home?
31396	And yet what else could be expected of such men, accustomed to evil ways, and earning their money at race- tracks and the like?
31396	Anybody seen her around?"
31396	Anything new come up?"
31396	Besides, can you blame anybody for trying to get acquainted with Fred''s sweet little sister?"
31396	Big Bob, what''s the matter with starting this game right away?"
31396	But I hope, Jack, you''re not getting discouraged with all these things coming right along?"
31396	CHAPTER IV WHEN CHESTER AWAKENED"Did you ever see such an enormous crowd?"
31396	CHAPTER IX A FAIRY IN THE BADGER HOME"Let''s watch and see what it all means?"
31396	Can you guess it, Jack?"
31396	Could you promise me that?"
31396	Did you see him mow down Clifford then like a weed?
31396	Do you believe half they''re saying about that Parsons being a regular demon for grabbing up ground scorchers, and tossing fellows out at first?"
31396	Donald, we have lost our little home, but I am the happiest woman on earth this night; for what does that matter when I have found_ you_ again?"
31396	Figure it out, Jack, and get busy before next Saturday comes, wo n''t you?"
31396	Fred, are you able to make the attempt?"
31396	How is the team getting along after that glorious game you played?
31396	I hope you are not in any trouble, Jack?"
31396	I hope you''re not feeling sick, or anything like that?"
31396	I wonder now would that wretch have the nerve to stop Barbara, and try to get some information from the little thing?"
31396	If O''Leary sent a scorcher toward Fred, how would the third baseman handle it?
31396	Is n''t it a bully sheet of water, though?"
31396	Is that Fred there on the ground?
31396	Jack, do you think Fred''s mother could have just learned that something had happened to her boy; or would it be Lucy they miss for the first time?"
31396	Look here, do you realize, Steve, what it would mean if Jack went and got himself rattled_ just now_?"
31396	Moody?"
31396	Mother, surely now you know who he is?"
31396	Now tell us what makes you suspect poor old Fred of such a horrible crime?"
31396	Phil, Joel and Bob, make a note of that, will you, and try to duplicate their game?
31396	Say you''ll go, Jack?"
31396	Shall I tell you, in hopes that it might ease your mind, Jack?"
31396	That was a smart dodge, was n''t it?
31396	We ought to find a way to chase him out of town, do n''t you think, Jack?"
31396	What could a poor woman and her crippled child be to him?"
31396	What could be ailing the boy, Jack wondered?
31396	What did this mean?
31396	What of a boy who had the confidence of his mates on the team, conspiring to sell them out for a bribe?
31396	What''s gone wrong?
31396	Where did I toss that cap of mine?"
31396	Who''s the weak brother on the team you''re afraid of, Jack?"
31396	You believe that, do n''t you, Fred?"
31396	You both know this, do n''t you, fellows?"
31396	and do you suspect Fred of entering into such a base conspiracy as that would be, Jack?"
31396	can she be meaning to meet this man?"
31396	demanded the other;"did you walk over to their place to ask Alec about it?"
31396	exclaimed Jack just then,"what''s all that yell going on ahead of us?
31396	how do we know but what the man has a small girl of his own somewhere?"
31396	is n''t she with mother and Barbara?
31396	is that chap the man you''ve both been talking about, tell me?"
31396	mother, do n''t you know, ca n''t you guess who he is?
31396	then you got a chance to talk with Fred after the game, did you?"
31396	what''s coming now, Jack?"
31396	why did you let him go in there?
18587	And from what you say, as well as your mentioning the boy''s name before I spoke it, I assume that you know Owen Dugdale?
18587	And you dropped over to see if we were making any headway, I suppose?
18587	Are you dead certain it was a souvenir spoon you glimpsed? 18587 Are you in for a little walk with me, Thad?"
18587	Are you through?
18587	But where will we be all the time, Hugh?
18587	But,said Thad, in sore perplexity,"the three spoons are gone, there''s no doubt about that; and if Owen did n''t take them who did?"
18587	Could it be possible, do you think?
18587	Do you know what I got a good mind to do to you, sonny?
18587	Do you mean about my actions in that house, Hugh?
18587	Do you mean to say you have missed something on two separate occasions, ma''am?
18587	Do you notice any improvement in our work? 18587 Do you really think that boy might come down with pneumonia, or something like that on account of being in the water, Hugh?"
18587	Do you suppose, Hugh, that Nick Lang knows about that unguarded window''?
18587	Had n''t we better be going, Hugh?
18587	Had n''t we better be making a start, Hugh?
18587	Have they been in touch with Allandale and Belleville?
18587	He liked you, too, did n''t he, Thad?
18587	Here''s one of the paddles; do you see anything of the other?
18587	How many do you think will be on hand?
18587	How''s little Brutus, Sarah?
18587	Is that all?
18587	Notice that shrub bursting into bloom, will you?
18587	Now how did you learn that?
18587	Of course you told your good mother all about it, Hugh, when you got home?
18587	So Hugh Morgan has taken up with that gloomy looking chap Owen, has he?
18587	So that is how Sarah comes to be calling her Brutus a hero, is it?
18587	Tell all that to your grandmother, Thad, will you?
18587	Then you agree, do you, Hugh?
18587	Then, after all I''ve told you, Hugh, you still believe in Owen?
18587	Watch that throwin'', will you? 18587 Well, have you struck any promising scheme yet, Hugh?"
18587	Well, you do n''t believe they''ll come again tonight at any rate, do you, Hugh?
18587	What can I believe, Hugh?
18587	What do you plan to do, now you have the spoon?
18587	What does all that row mean, Hugh?
18587	What of that, Eli? 18587 What would a parrot want of such objects, and where would she hide them?"
18587	What''s going on here?
18587	What''s that?
18587	Whatever makes you say that?
18587	Why should it put a stop to your fun?
18587	Why should this lovely little shelf up there be so strong? 18587 Why, who''s got prize Belgian hares in Scranton but Hugh Morgan?
18587	Why, you do n''t mean to tell me you''d stick in your little oar, Hugh, and try to teach me a few tricks, do you? 18587 Will Mr. Leonard coach the team as he promised, Hugh?"
18587	You only rattle the boy, do n''t you know? 18587 And, say, was Owen there on the day it went glimmering?
18587	Anything particular moving?"
18587	Are we going to perch on it, and drop down on top of the night birds after they let themselves in?
18587	But I see the old flivver in by the barn, so you did manage to get it home after all, eh, Thad?"
18587	But I''m afraid they''ll think our reception committee rather frigid, eh, Thad?"
18587	But suppose you stop asking questions, and agree to accompany me when I make my little call on Sarah this evening?"
18587	But, joking aside, what really did happen to you, Thad, tell me?"
18587	CHAPTER XVIII A STRAIGHT DRIVE FOR THE TRUTH"So, you stole Owen''s spoon, did you?"
18587	Could n''t you have been mistaken?"
18587	Do n''t ye see we''re just dying to know?"
18587	Do n''t you know who he is, just because he''s wearing a pair of big goggles, and has his cap pulled down over his forehead?
18587	Do n''t you think I am entitled to your full confidence?"
18587	Do they put you wise to anything, Hugh?"
18587	Glad to have seen you, O. K. Carry a message back home to Belleville for me, will you?
18587	Guess I knows my history, an''did n''t I see it in him when he was a little baby?
18587	Have we gone up or down, in your judgment?"
18587	Have you had all you want for tonight?"
18587	Have you thought up any scheme yet for learning the truth about Owen?"
18587	His actions more than anything he might say would have given you a pointer, do n''t you see?"
18587	How about that, Hugh?"
18587	Hugh, do n''t you say the same?"
18587	I do n''t suppose you thought to do anything like that, now?"
18587	I hope now you do n''t object to my being here, Hugh?"
18587	I hope she is n''t taking a nap just now?"
18587	I wonder if those Belleville fellows have been up to any dodge to learn our signals, and how our pitchers are practicing certain pet balls?"
18587	I wonder now how Nick Lang will feel about that?"
18587	I wonder now, did it happen to hit either of them when it came tumbling down after emptying out all the iced water?
18587	If not a human being, what sort of a creature could the clever thief be?
18587	If that''s a fact, you''re going to up and explain its workings to your best chum, ai n''t you?"
18587	Is Mrs. Pangborn at leisure?
18587	Is that the game, Hugh?"
18587	Is your news of that sort, Limpy?"
18587	It seemed to say:"Dere now, what do yuh good- for- nothin''coons think of my Brutus, after hearin''dese white boys say as how he''s a real hero?
18587	K.?"
18587	Mebbe now you''re meaning all of you to pick on me?
18587	My news can keep; and what would poor Scranton High do for a catcher in the game next Saturday if you fractured your collar- bone?"
18587	Nothing seems to faize you, Hugh, Ca n''t you just give me a little clue to feed on till you explain it all?
18587	Now, what do you think of that?"
18587	Now, you''ve likely never been there yourself, even though you''ve been getting pretty intimate with Owen lately?"
18587	Pangborn?"
18587	Perhaps now you''ve got a clue of some sort that you would n''t mind telling me about?"
18587	Sandy Dowd and I saw a bunch of the boys out on their field after school yesterday, did n''t we, Sandy?"
18587	So you, of course, assisted the old gentleman, as he asked, and got him safely to his house?"
18587	Thad, how can we reach him?"
18587	Thad, that you?"
18587	Was that boy on the motorcycle one of the Belleville fellows?
18587	Well, is there anything more coming, or does that end your adventure?"
18587	What do you say to that, Hugh?"
18587	What do you think of that, Hugh?"
18587	What makes you say such a queer thing?"
18587	What time do you suppose Sarah would be at her house?
18587	What wonderful secret did you discover there?
18587	What''s all dis row about, anyhow?
18587	What''s doing this fine Sunday afternoon?"
18587	While not so fine a torch as mine, still it seems to be O. K. You''ll do that, I hope, Hugh?"
18587	Why, what''s this?"
18587	Would n''t you think yourself well repaid for just repressing your antipathy toward Nick Lang?"
18587	Would you mind telling me about it?"
18587	You know what your team can do; have we any show against Belleville, or that strong aggregation at Allandale?"
18587	You said something about_ ice_, did n''t you, Hugh?"
18587	You wo n''t punish him for what happened today, will you?
18587	are you figuring on giving Nick and Leon their usual Saturday night bath?"
18587	do you suspect that a silly bird could go and carry off not only one spoon but three of them?"
18587	exclaimed Hugh;"do you mean to say your appointment was with Owen Dugdale after all?"
18587	is that so, Hugh?
18587	is that so?"
18587	so you''re there, are you, Hugh Morgan?"
18587	we''re going to be spied on, it seems, Hugh; for notice that chap coming along on his motorcycle, will you?
18587	what does this mean, I''d like to know?"
18587	what''s all that loud talking ahead there mean?"
39020	''Why, was n''t that a strike?'' 39020 And who never, never can repay you for what you have done to- day if she lives forever?"
39020	As far as I can find out, you''ve never tried any of the things I''ve proposed, and so how do you know how good or bad they are?
39020	But,Tom broke in,"''all''s well that ends well,''and say, fellows,_ did_ it end well with us?
39020	By the way, Bert,asked Dick, changing the subject,"have you heard from your examinations yet?
39020	Came pretty near to''shuffling off this mortal coil,''did n''t I? 39020 Can you mow them down in the good old way, if you go in the box?"
39020	Come ahead, Dick; you catch for me until I warm up, will you?
39020	Did n''t we agree that the first clear Saturday we had off we''d take for our fishing trip?
39020	Do you feel as though you could do it?
39020	Do you feel as though you could pitch if I happened to need you?
39020	Do you mean to say that you are going fishing for old Pete to- day?
39020	Do you suppose that anything in earth could keep me from hunting Old Pete to- day, now that you have brought him so forcibly to my mind? 39020 Done much in the pitching line?"
39020	Hang it all, anyway,he exclaimed disgustedly,"who''d have thought he would stop that one?
39020	He''d be likely to do that, would n''t he, especially if you keep up this gabfest?
39020	Here, what are ye standing around for?
39020	Holler? 39020 How about it, Hin?"
39020	How about young Wilson?
39020	How did you do it? 39020 How do they feel when they come into the glove?"
39020	How do they find that out?
39020	How do you feel, Winters?
39020	How does your arm feel to- day, Wilson?
39020	How does your arm feel to- day?
39020	How long did he think it would be before he would be ready?
39020	How the dickens are we going to get to the game in time?
39020	I always thought bullets crept along the ground something after the manner of snails, or something equally fast, did n''t you fellows?
39020	In the name of all that''s lucky,cried Dick, as he grasped his hand and shook it warmly,"how did you manage to get here?
39020	It sure is working some, but where do they get the power?
39020	Now, what was it?
39020	Say, do you see that mill in front of us? 39020 See this little toy?"
39020	Thanks,laughed Bert;"wo n''t you come along?"
39020	That kid has n''t got your goat, has he? 39020 The girl you so bravely rescued?"
39020	We''ll have to go mighty fast to break the records we made then, wo n''t we, old sock?
39020	What do you think is the brightest bit of thinking you ever saw on the ball field?
39020	What have you got in stock?
39020	What he would have done if the blanket had burned through?
39020	What was that?
39020	What will old Winters''pals have to say after this?
39020	What''s that for?
39020	What''s that?
39020	What''s the matter with Wilson?
39020	What''s the matter, cap?
39020	What''s this I hear about you, Bert?
39020	You do n''t mean it, do you?
39020	You fellows would n''t believe me, I suppose, if I told you I seen a dog pull some of that inside stuff once? 39020 You''re sure you''re capable of handling a car, are you, Wilson?"
39020	''What''s the matter with you, anyway?''
39020	Are you alive yet?
39020	As he walked to the bench the captain said,"What''s the matter with you, Al?
39020	Because of course that''s what you''re going to do, is n''t it?
39020	Bert''s voice was the first to be heard in their car, and it inquired, anxiously,"Where are you, Dick, Tom, and the rest of you?
39020	Besides, it does n''t show the scientific desire for knowledge that we would like to see in you, does it, fellows?"
39020	But what was that black object coming toward them so rapidly?
39020	But where to find him?
39020	By the way,"he went on,"who is that fellow up near our bench?
39020	CHAPTER IX A GALLANT RESCUE"Say, fellows, what have you got on hand for to- day?"
39020	Can you guess how he did it?"
39020	Could he keep up that demon pitching?
39020	Could he with almost nothing to brace his feet upon, spring across that five feet of wall?
39020	Could n''t they melt that icicle in the pitcher''s box?
39020	Did he have any?
39020	Did n''t she look funny when the wind spread out that gorgeous red feather?"
39020	Did the boy have stamina enough to last a full game?
39020	Did they expect him to win the game all by himself?
39020	Do n''t you hear me, old fellow?"
39020	Do you think he would, old top?"
39020	Do you think that will suit your father, John?"
39020	Do you think you can manage that all right?"
39020	Do you think you will need me?"
39020	Do you want to kill your arm with that kind of throwing?"
39020	Down the long slope they swooped, and then-- What was that in front of them, that they were approaching at such terrific speed?
39020	For heaven''s sake, Wilson, take it a little easier in the future, will you?
39020	Has the freshie got you buffaloed?"
39020	He trotted over to where Reddy was standing, and said,"You wanted me, did n''t you?"
39020	How did you make out?"
39020	How do you hold your hand when you throw it?"
39020	How far is it, Mr. Clarke, from your house to D----?"
39020	How was he to get back?
39020	How would that suit you, Bert?"
39020	Hypnotized?"
39020	Is n''t he a beauty?"
39020	Is n''t this the pickerel stream?"
39020	It was a cinch, was n''t it, boys?"
39020	Now, why was it they did n''t cop the flag?
39020	On thinking it over,"he added, laughing,"I do n''t think of a single way that we could improve matters; do you, fellows?"
39020	Ready?"
39020	That was n''t the best you could do, was it?"
39020	Then he suddenly flared up:"I suppose if that blamed Freshie were in condition you''d have put him in to pitch long ago, would n''t you?"
39020	This reminds me of the old''Red Scout''days, does n''t it you, Dick?"
39020	Von''t you step on the insides for a minute, young shentlemens?"
39020	Was his heart in the right place, or, under the tremendous strain of a critical game, would he go to pieces?
39020	Was it in human nature for a mere boy before that tremendous crowd to stand the awful strain?
39020	Was that wonderful curve of his under full control?
39020	Was the victory to be snatched away just as it was within sight?
39020	Well, well, who would have suspected it?"
39020	Were these jubilant, yelling rooters, dancing about and hugging each other, to send him and his comrades away, downcast and beaten?
39020	Were they to"laugh last"and therefore"best"?
39020	What charm did you work around that old blanket you came down on from the window so that it would not burn?"
39020	What did I tell you?
39020	What do you think, Dick?"
39020	What good does it do for Wilson to hold the other team down, if you do n''t do any stick work to back him up?
39020	What if they could not make it?
39020	What license did he have anyway to make such a show of them?
39020	What time is it, Tom?"
39020	What was the matter with the fellows anyway?
39020	What''s the matter?
39020	When the boys came trooping over to the bench, he said,"What''s the matter with you fellows, anyway?
39020	Where were the fellow''s nerves?
39020	Where''s that homer over the fence that you were alluding to a few minutes ago?"
39020	Who belongs to it, anyway?"
39020	Who thought of putting that fish back into the water to fool old Pete, I''d like to know?"
39020	Why did n''t you remind us of it sooner, Tom?
39020	Why do n''t you say something?"
39020	Why does n''t the band play the funeral march?"
39020	Why were they playing like a bunch of"Rubes"?
39020	Will you ever forget that wonderful race with the''Gray Ghost''?
39020	Winters seems to be in fine shape, do n''t you think?"
39020	Would the end come with a rush?
39020	You would n''t make me spend all that time and money for nothing, would you?"
39020	he had inquired anxiously,"do you feel strong enough to hold them down for the rest of this game?"
37493	A groan-- you mean a real human groan?
37493	Ah, are you there, my boy?
37493	Ai n''t I aknowin''the ropes here; did n''t I uster work for the kunnel as a gardener? 37493 And the club that wins will be known as the champion team of the Boy Scouts league in this part of the state-- is that it, suh?"
37493	And what did Mr. Jones say?
37493	Any remarks before the motion is put?
37493	Are we to take it for granted that the Basking Ridge people would allow us to come over and use their diamond, sir?
37493	Aw, let up on a feller, Elmer, ca n''t you?
37493	But Lil Artha,continued the other, persuasively, laying a hand on the sleeve of the tall scout,"do n''t you see that it''s only held slightly?
37493	But are you sure you are not worn out after that hard game?
37493	But did you hear the swish of his bat?
37493	But do n''t you think we owe it to the colonel to take him into the secret?
37493	But do you mean he brings one of those old shoes home with him every time?
37493	But how can you help it?
37493	But how d''ye know the dorg ai n''t goin''tuh git back an''tackle us while we''re adoin''the job?
37493	But look there, do they give him old shoes and such things to play with; I can count three close by his kennel right now? 37493 But see here, why d''ye want to know how the weather away up in the Northwest is going to be to- day?
37493	But where does he get them, if he''s chained up here all the time?
37493	But where''s the ball?
37493	But you_ think_ you know?
37493	Ca n''t you get your nerve back yet? 37493 D''ye mean, kunnel, yu''d dar take me back agin, arter the way I been actin''?"
37493	Did n''t I tell ye that Bruno knows me, an''that when I kim hyar an hour back I let him loose?
37493	Did n''t you see him?
37493	Do n''t suppose Toby would pose it over again, do you?
37493	Follow my finger now; notice that thing moving up yonder in that little old tree? 37493 For me?"
37493	Has he got his troop organized, then?
37493	Hey, what d''ye mean?
37493	How about it, Mark?
37493	How about it, Phil?
37493	How about this weather business, Elmer?
37493	How do you know this, my boy?
37493	How does the score stand now?
37493	How? 37493 I do n''t know of a single one, do you, Elmer?"
37493	I suppose, now, you were along with your friend last evening, and knew about him losing his cap?
37493	I suppose, now, you''ve always done it, Mark?
37493	I''d like tuh do the job jest as much as yerself; but what if we got ketched? 37493 Is Elmer at home?"
37493	Is that straight, kunnel, an''do yuh mean to fergive me?
37493	Is that straight, or are you just kidding me?
37493	It ai n''t that, Lil Artha,declared Toby;"but while you''re about it, why wo n''t you make a clean sweep of the thing, a double rescue so to speak?"
37493	It''s the signals, Elmer; the signals you and Mark have been practicing, do n''t you see?
37493	Meaning our slick friend, Lon Braddock?
37493	Not a bit of it,replied Elmer;"but what in the world do you suppose that queer sound can be?"
37493	Now you''re not just guessing, are you, Jasper? 37493 Now you''re referring to where you lost your old cap, I take it?"
37493	Now, what d''ye suppose that fellow in the carriage is beckoning to us for, Elmer?
37493	Oh, I see; then you do n''t toss them to him?
37493	Oh, is it? 37493 Oh, is that all you want?"
37493	Oh, is that so? 37493 Oh, it ai n''t that, Elmer, sure it ai n''t, because do n''t I believe you''re the best pitcher in the whole world?"
37493	Oh, see here, has it anything to do with that mystery connected with my cap being found under those peach trees that were robbed?
37493	Oh, that''s the way you look at it, eh?
37493	Oh, they''re big enough,remarked Lil Artha, indifferently;"but since when did size count for everything in baseball?
37493	Oh, what can you do, Elmer?
37493	Ready everybody?
37493	Ready?
37493	Say, did you see him do that?
37493	See who''s here, Elmer?
37493	See you this afternoon, then, Mark?
37493	Strange how it came to be under my peach tree, is n''t it?
37493	Tell me first, is there an open place just below this Echo Cliff you talk about?
37493	That sounds pretty fine, my boy,observed Elmer;"but what makes you believe I can do anything to help out?
37493	That''s a fact,called out Toby, with one of his grins;"because it would n''t be much use after that same thing happened, hey?"
37493	Then perhaps we ought to tell, Elmer?
37493	Then the signs_ are_ favorable; do you mean that, Elmer?
37493	Then we''ve just got to work to hold them, see?
37493	Then what do you reckon it was?
37493	Then whatever ails you, Jasper?
37493	Then why should you bother going all that way over a rough path? 37493 There is only to be this one game, I understand it, suh?"
37493	Think I''d better, when he only wanted to see you?
37493	Too late for what, Jasper?
37493	Trying what out? 37493 WHAT''S that you''re talking about, Jasper?"
37493	WHAT''S the matter with this for a corker?
37493	Want to take the nine in action?
37493	Was it Felix Wagner, the second baseman of Fairfield, who brought it?
37493	Was that the last you thought of the cap?
37493	We''re going to bring you down; only try to help yourself by getting hold of that branch, see?
37493	Well, let me in, wo n''t you?
37493	Well, now, did you ever hear the beat of that?
37493	Well, what about it?
37493	Well, who would n''t, just tell me that? 37493 Well?"
37493	Were you over there again?
37493	What ails you now?
37493	What ails you, now, I''d just like to know, Lil Artha?
37493	What are we up against?
37493	What d''ye suppose it means, Elmer?
37493	What d''ye think it could be, now?
37493	What might that be?
37493	What particular good would that do us, tell me, when he''s sure got everything down pat in his mind, just the same? 37493 What shall I do?"
37493	What time is it, Chatz; since you seem to be the only one in the lot who had the good sense and also the decency to fetch a watch along?
37493	What would he do if he was twice as tall, hey, tell me that?
37493	What''s all this row about?
37493	What''s that?
37493	What''s the matter-- stub your toe, or get a bug in your eye?
37493	What''s wrong with my signals, tell me, Jasper? 37493 What, him?"
37493	What?
37493	Where did you get it-- from Jasper, here?
37493	Who was that, Elmer, and what did he do that was so great? 37493 Who, me, give Bruno them old shoes?"
37493	Who?
37493	Why not?
37493	Why should n''t he be?
37493	Why, what has happened? 37493 Why, whatever do you suppose my folks would think?"
37493	Will you kindly take this cap in your hands, my boy?
37493	Yes,replied Mark, smiling,"but in that case why send for me?
37493	You do n''t say?
37493	You mean he gets away?
37493	You mean when he took the jump? 37493 You mean, let his folks know about the narrow call he had here to- day?"
37493	You remember Toby is just crazy to fly like the Wrights and all the other bird men who sail through the air in their aeroplanes?
37493	You''re quite positive there can be no mistake-- that some other boy may not have the same initials?
37493	Ai n''t you afraid of a draught, Toby?"
37493	And Elmer, if he got smashed or had his legs broken, you and me would feel like we was guilty, ai n''t that so?"
37493	And Toby, make a grab for that branch just below when you feel yourself going, understand?"
37493	And if he had n''t happened to have that sharp knife along, you might be hanging up there yet and for some time to come; get that?"
37493	And now, could you tell me how it chanced to come there under my prize peach trees that were robbed last night?"
37493	And who d''ye think it is?
37493	Any more?"
37493	Any other question, boys?"
37493	Anything more, Red?"
37493	Are you dead tired, my boy?"
37493	Are you strong enough to do this for the sake of that old mother of yours?"
37493	Are you sure the lining was n''t torn that way when you lost it, Mark?"
37493	But do n''t you blame Elmer for your troubles, hear?
37493	But say, what you goin''to do now?"
37493	But, see here, do n''t you think you owe some thanks to this bright young chap for what happened?
37493	Come up here and grab me, ca n''t you?
37493	Could it be any of the servants belonging to the house?
37493	D''ye know I just see before me that one question:''Who found Mark Cummings''s cap?''
37493	Did he wish to secure some sort of tool to be used in furthering his evil designs?
37493	Did you find anything there to tell you who picked that cap up?"
37493	Did you want me for anything in particular, colonel?"
37493	Do n''t I take exercise every day just to reduce my flesh?
37493	Do we practice any this morning, Elmer?"
37493	Elmer and Lil Artha exchanged meaning glances, and presently the latter managed to whisper to his companion of the morning:"Did you do it, Elmer?"
37493	Elmer, ai n''t that so?"
37493	Get that, now?
37493	Have I got that all O. K., Jasper?"
37493	Have you got any wheat planted; or do you mean to put the steam plow into that quarter section, if the signs are favorable?"
37493	How do you feel, Elmer, after your hard afternoon''s work?
37493	I hope you did not take a nasty header off your wheel?"
37493	I pitched my best; but where would we have been if it had n''t happened that Lil Artha drove out that homer, fetching a run in ahead of him?
37493	I suppose most boys do that because they are apt to get their head gear mixed when they wrestle and knock around; is n''t that so, Mark?"
37493	I''d hate to have those teeth set in my leg, would n''t you, Mark?"
37493	If I ever dropped from this height, whatever would happen to my bones, tell me that?
37493	If some fellow picked my cap up, did he leave it there on purpose to get me in trouble, or was it only an accident?
37493	If you have n''t anything else on hand just now, what''s to hinder you going along, Lil Artha?"
37493	Is he a new boy in Hickory Ridge; and does he say my work is off color?"
37493	Is he here this afternoon?"
37493	Is there any rain storm in sight?
37493	Just see how it''s torn, would you?"
37493	Now what d''ye think of that for a loon?
37493	Now, are yuh ready to move along, Con?"
37493	Now, scouts, what is your pleasure about this courteous challenge?"
37493	Now, what was it you wanted to see me about?"
37493	On the whole, then, you predict that we''ll have a decent afternoon; just the kind to spur every fellow on to doing his best licks?"
37493	Open up now, wo n''t you, and be good?"
37493	Perhaps, who knows?"
37493	Say, Elmer, is he crazy, or can it be the reaction set in after his daring feat in grabbing me?"
37493	Say, what''s to hinder you coming with me, Elmer?"
37493	See?"
37493	Shall I take my old cap away with me, or do you want to place it among your curios as an unsolved mystery?"
37493	That would make the people of sleepy old Hickory Ridge stare some, hey?"
37493	There, did n''t that sound just like a big grunt, and was n''t it followed by a squeal?
37493	We all know that much, Elmer; but the signs, what do they say?
37493	We''d better investigate this thing a little, do n''t you think, Elmer?"
37493	What I want now is sympathy and brotherly kindness, do n''t you see?"
37493	What about my signals?"
37493	What did I tell you?
37493	What do you think?
37493	What''re we going to do about it, Elmer?"
37493	What''s doing now?"
37493	Where under the sun d''ye suppose he can be?
37493	Will it be as hot as the dickens; or are we in for a cold wave?
37493	Will you tell him about the cap, and how it was found?"
37493	With the call of the diamond in the air what boy, who loved baseball, could resist or allow any other pursuit to hold him in check?
37493	Wo n''t I get it, though, when mom sees what''s happened?
37493	Wonder what he would do if he broke loose right now?
37493	Would he duplicate his previous performance, and send out a homer?
37493	Would he himself enter the tool house to secure the kerosene?
37493	You am de boy belongin''tuh de Cummings fambly, ai n''t yuh, an''yuh name am Mark, I spect?"
37493	You had a reason for doing it?
37493	You rode over on your wheel, did n''t you, Elmer?"
37493	You''ll come, wo n''t you, Mark?"
37493	Yuh ai n''t skeered, be yuh, Con?"
37493	Yuh sed as how yuh had matches along, did n''t yuh, Con?"
37493	but do n''t you feel cold?
37493	called out Mulligan as he stood there and heard a strike called:"what''re ye thryin''to do wid me, Elmer?
37493	he declared,"if they saw the Cummings hope and heir driving up with a carriage and pair?
37493	listen to that, would you?"
37493	now will you be good, Fairfield?"
37493	so that''s what troubles you, is it?"
37493	up there, what are you doing to that tree?"
37493	were you looking for anyone?"
37493	what did Matt Tubbs have to say to you, Elmer?"
37493	what''s eatin''ye, Phil?"
37493	ye sed as how ye knowed jest how the game cud be worked, did n''t ye, Phil?"
27338	A bunch of kids?
27338	A stick?
27338	All you fellows know I would n''t throw the Giants down, do n''t you?
27338	And Matson refused it?
27338	And how could he do it?
27338	And how did his Umps decide it?
27338	And why is it, Joe?
27338	Anything else?
27338	Anything happened lately?
27338	Are we two teams to play against each other all the time, or are we to take on some of the local nines?
27338	Are you boys crazy?
27338	Are you sure you did n''t sign that contract, thinking it was something else-- an order for something, or something like that?
27338	At the Opera House?
27338	Betting on me, is he?
27338	But a man''s worth all that he will bring in any other line of work-- and why should n''t it be so in baseball? 27338 But how about Curry?
27338	But listen, what''s that?
27338	But what''s the use of talking?
27338	But who wants to be a busher?
27338	But why ca n''t you keep on with us and swing right around the circle?
27338	But why do they put eyes there?
27338	But why should n''t they start a new league if they want to?
27338	But, Joe dear, wo n''t it be too great an expense?
27338	By the way, Joe,he added,"speaking of sharks-- what''s the difference between a dog and a shark?"
27338	Can it be that the last of the O''Brians is rambling about the castle?
27338	Can you blame him?
27338	Can you jump it?
27338	Did it convince him?
27338	Did n''t sprain your salary wing, or anything like that?
27338	Did n''t you know Joe''d gone on the stage?
27338	Did you see that fellow who went into that saloon just now?
27338	Did you see what became of my sister Bessie?
27338	Do I?
27338	Do any of you fellows believe for one minute that story in the paper?
27338	Do n''t you remember how the Waco team trimmed us last spring? 27338 Do you know how much money the teams took in before they reached the coast on their last World''s Trip?
27338	Do you know just what route you''ll follow?
27338	Do you mean the fellow that stood the Athletics on their heads when they made that winter trip to Cuba a couple of years ago?
27338	Do you notice that that''s about the weight of a baseball?
27338	Do you remember him?
27338	Do you remember how he trod on the corns of that German admiral who tried to butt in?
27338	Do you remember our last ride in an automobile, Mabel?
27338	Do you take in China at all?
27338	Do you think he really has jumped his contract?
27338	Got a thousand dollars handy, Joe?
27338	Had you up in the air for a minute, did n''t it, old top?
27338	Has an earthquake destroyed the Polo Grounds?
27338	Have I, Joe?
27338	Have you ever seen Joe pitch?
27338	How about some lunch, girls?
27338	How are you, Dell, old boy?
27338	How are you, Hughson, old man?
27338	How are you, old scout?
27338	How are your ribs feeling, after that bear hug you got this afternoon?
27338	How can I tell?
27338	How can you possibly get ready in time?
27338	How could he help it?
27338	How do they ever do it?
27338	How do you like the new fan, Joe?
27338	How does the old soup bone feel?
27338	How is it you caught him napping?
27338	How long do their contracts have to run?
27338	How long does your contract have to run?
27338	How many men are going in the two teams?
27338	How many of the boys is Mac taking along?
27338	How much do you fellows expect to get out of it for yourselves?
27338	How so?
27338	How''s that wing of yours getting along?
27338	Huh?
27338	I did n''t come to this jay town to be lectured by a hick----"What''s that?
27338	I wonder how he got here?
27338	In what way is it so one- sided?
27338	Is Hamilton going up, do you think?
27338	Is n''t this the limit?
27338	Is that all?
27338	Is that all?
27338	Is that so? 27338 Is this interesting enough?"
27338	It''s bally short notice, do n''t you know? 27338 Just look at those mountain tops, will you?
27338	Just what do you mean by that?
27338	Let''s see, what is it they call it? 27338 Mean?"
27338	Momsey,begged Clara in desperation,"ca n''t you make these idiots tell us just what happened?"
27338	My dear young lady,said Braxton,"do n''t you know that a baseball contract is n''t as binding as the ordinary kind?
27338	Off your feed to- day?
27338	Offered good money, did he?
27338	Oh, back so soon?
27338	Oh, ca n''t we do anything to help him?
27338	Say, is that boy class, John?
27338	Say, what do you want, the earth?
27338	So the new league has n''t got you yet, Joe?
27338	Some class to the Giants, eh?
27338	Some other team in the American league trying to make a dicker for you?
27338	Some speed, eh?
27338	That sounds good, but where are they going to get the stars?
27338	That would put us in a nice light, would n''t it?
27338	The law is supposed to be based on justice, is n''t it, and to do what is right? 27338 The name would have to be cut from one piece of paper and pasted on another, would n''t it?"
27338	Want to hit the ball?
27338	Was n''t it great?
27338	Was that a photo- play called''The Girl From Mountain Pass?''
27338	We remember that, do n''t we, Momsey?
27338	Well, then,crowed Everett triumphantly,"why did n''t Curry go back to third and touch the bag before he lit out for home?
27338	Were you addressing me when you said''dear''?
27338	What are those things they have on each side of the bow?
27338	What are we playing against?
27338	What are you millionaires talking about?
27338	What do millionaires usually talk about?
27338	What do you mean by that?
27338	What do you mean by this?
27338	What do you mean?
27338	What do you mean?
27338	What do you mean?
27338	What do you suppose he wants of you, Joe?
27338	What does it mean?
27338	What if it is contradicted later on? 27338 What in the world would Bugs be doing in Denver?"
27338	What is it, Joe?
27338	What is it?
27338	What is there wrong about that? 27338 What kind of a team has Brennan got together for the All- American?"
27338	What was it you said, Mabel dear?
27338	What was it?
27338	What were you fellows talking about so earnestly?
27338	What''s all this pow- wow about?
27338	What''s got my little brother so excited?
27338	What''s happened?
27338	What''s that place up there, Mike?
27338	What''s that?
27338	What''s the joke?
27338	What''s the matter with Matson?
27338	What''s the matter with you fellows, anyway?
27338	What''s the matter with you to- day?
27338	What''s the matter, Jim?
27338	What''s the matter, Joe?
27338	What''s the matter, Larry?
27338	What''s the matter?
27338	What''s the scheme?
27338	What''s the use of bread and butter, if you can have cake and ought to have it?
27338	What''s the use of quarreling with your bread and butter?
27338	What?
27338	When do you have to go?
27338	Where did he get his grouch against you?
27338	Where is Frank?
27338	Where''s that good eye you said this fellow had?
27338	Where''s your proof?
27338	Where?
27338	Who could have done such a contemptible thing?
27338	Who is it?
27338	Who is talking of breaking his word? 27338 Who is that?"
27338	Who threw that?
27338	Who would n''t be an umpire?
27338	Who''s all right?
27338	Why do n''t you learn how to pitch?
27338	Why do n''t you like him, Joe?
27338	Why does a crazy man do crazy things? 27338 Why does n''t he go without asking leave?"
27338	Why is he going around that way?
27338	Why not make it the day after to- morrow?
27338	Why should I,answered Mabel, demurely,"since I am going with you?"
27338	Why, what''s he up to, now?
27338	Why,said Joe,"you''re not going to give up the game for the stage, are you?"
27338	Why?
27338	Why?
27338	Will it hurt your position with the Giants, Joe?
27338	Will we ever forget the day when we opened that letter from the dear boy, and the thousand- dollar bill fell out on the table? 27338 Wo n''t it be fine to have the others with us again?"
27338	Would it be indiscreet to ask the amount?
27338	You know it, do n''t you, Mac?
27338	You''re not going to hit him again, are you?
27338	And do n''t you know that the coming of a new league just now is likely to wreck the game?
27338	And just see the depth of some of those canyons, will you?
27338	Are n''t we Giants pals to each other?"
27338	But do you think they can get the Indian sign so easily?"
27338	But what beats me is why they should do it?
27338	But who are these ball killers?
27338	By the way, have any of them turned up yet?"
27338	Do you remember how Jim and I put you to bed that night in St. Louis when you were drunk?
27338	Do you remember the time when their Waseda and Keio University teams came over to this country?
27338	Do you remember what it was?"
27338	Do you think they''re in the game for the sport of it?
27338	Had Curry been touched by the ball, or had he not?
27338	Had the ball been caught or not?
27338	Have n''t you ever smelled cigar smoke before?"
27338	Have you another stamp, Mabel dear?
27338	He fancied he could hear them saying:"So Joe has fallen for that game, has he?
27338	He has to do that on a caught fly ball, has n''t he?"
27338	How do you explain it?"
27338	How long will you fellows be gone?"
27338	I suppose you''ve been getting letters pretty regularly, eh, Jim?"
27338	It means-- oh, well, what does n''t it mean?
27338	Rippin''good idea I call it-- what?"
27338	That does n''t seem fair, does it?"
27338	This new league will promise all sorts of things, but how do you know it will keep them?
27338	Was he kidding us?"
27338	Was the ball caught or not?
27338	We''ve got a right to talk about our contracts, have n''t we, when we think the owners are getting the best end of the deal?"
27338	What did this man mean by coming to meet him?
27338	What do you say if we do a little shopping, and buy some things for ourselves and for the girls?"
27338	What do you say to getting a buzz wagon and taking a little spin out into the country?
27338	What do you say to going down to the post- office itself and dropping them in there?
27338	What do you suppose my friends in America are thinking about me just now?"
27338	What faith can you put in men who try to induce other men to be crooked?"
27338	What makes you think they''ve been approached?"
27338	What on earth has happened?"
27338	What shark has a bark?"
27338	What''s our measly salary compared with what they get?
27338	What''s the matter?"
27338	Where are you?"
27338	Who are the boys that you think are trying to break loose?"
27338	Who is he, anyway?"
27338	Who is it that brings the money in at the gate, anyway?
27338	Who would n''t be?
27338	You said that Mackay caught that ball, did n''t you?"
27338	how could they dare do such a thing as that?"
27338	she cried,"what is that?
27338	what do you know about that?"
27338	would you break anybody''s head?"
19246	A fan-- a rooter?
19246	All I want to know,whispered Ken,"is if I might stew them too much-- really scald them, you know?"
19246	Am I going up in the air? 19246 Am I weakening?"
19246	Are you fast?
19246	Are you goin''to keep puttin''''em over this pan all day that way?
19246	Are you up on''em?
19246	Arizona? 19246 Arthurs, what is it exactly that you want?
19246	Boswick, you forgive Ward, do n''t you-- now?
19246	But, Worry, I could n''t go off my head and get rattled just to please you, could I?
19246	Ca n''t you think? 19246 Can you get up?
19246	Can you hit? 19246 Can you run?"
19246	Can you run?
19246	Can you throw?
19246	Come back? 19246 Did I make the catch-- hang to the ball?"
19246	Did I say for you to knock my block off?... 19246 Did I tag the big fat devil?"
19246	Did n''t I say he was wild?
19246	Do you have any idea what you''ll do to this bunch from State?
19246	Do you know who that fellow was-- the first one who tried to throw you out of number five?
19246	Do you think that''s the right sort of thing? 19246 Do you think this''s a tea- party?"
19246	Fair? 19246 Fellows, is it any wonder we call him Worry?
19246	For instance?
19246	Good gracious, Peg, you have n''t told anybody?
19246	Got a fire- medal, have n''t you? 19246 He did n''t lick you?
19246	He is, is he?
19246	Here,he said, sharply,"are n''t you a freshman?"
19246	Hit them?
19246	Homans, is there any hope of your comin''back to college next year?
19246	Homans, will you please see to the election of the new captain?
19246	How about it, Roy?
19246	How am I to learn that?
19246	How did you learn to peg a ball as straight as this?
19246	How do you make that out?
19246	How much do you weigh?
19246	How''ll my boys be able to sleep?
19246	How''re the kids? 19246 How''re you feeling?"
19246	How''s the whip?
19246	Husky lot of stiffs, eh, Peg?
19246	Is he out?
19246	Is there so great a hurry? 19246 Is this Sunday?"
19246	It has a_ little_ to do with you-- hasn''t it, fellows?
19246	It makes a whole lot of difference, does n''t it?
19246	It''s not sore-- not after peggin''a bushel of potatoes on a cold day?
19246	Kid, what do you think of''em fat- heads on the faculty queerin''my team?
19246	Let''em yell, eh?
19246	Me-- me?
19246	Mr. Arthurs, will you try me in the box?
19246	Mr. Wau- rd, wo n''t ye be hovin''breakfast?
19246	Must have been stirred up by that talk of President Halstead''s, was n''t you?
19246	Now, Raymond, what''s this all about?
19246	Oh, you will?... 19246 Peg Ward, did you know that pitchin''was all control, puttin''the ball where you wanted to?"
19246	Peg, are you goin''to throw me down, too?
19246	Peg, how''re you?
19246	Pitch? 19246 Raymond, you''ll come back?"
19246	Reddy, did you see Peg?
19246	Reddy, how about a post- graduate course for you? 19246 Reddy, was n''t he just fine?"
19246	Run? 19246 Running to a fire again?"
19246	S- sir?
19246	Say, Cap, what''s eatin''you?
19246	Say, Dale, how do the candidates shape up?
19246	Scared? 19246 So you came here to see me?
19246	Take me-- out?
19246	That''s a fine college spirit, ai n''t it? 19246 That''s fine, Worry, but is it fair?"
19246	Then your son Harry will be in college next year-- will be on the team?
19246	Then-- after all-- it''s not so terrible?
19246	Trace, you little poll- parrot, you will throw perfume on me? 19246 Us?
19246	Ward, eh? 19246 Ward, will you be good now and stop scrapping or shall we tie you?"
19246	Well up in your studies?
19246	Well, that''s all right then.... Say, did n''t I tell you once that I had a weak heart? 19246 Well, we ai n''t goin''to have that balloon- ascension to- day, are we?"
19246	Well, what has all that got to do with me?
19246	Well, what of it?
19246	Well, why do n''t you commence?
19246	Well?
19246	What are you goin''to do all summer?
19246	What did you want to do that for?
19246	What do we care for team- captains, college professors, athletic directors, or students? 19246 What for?"
19246	What have I done, anyway? 19246 What is it?"
19246	What would Gallagher say to that?
19246	What''d you say?
19246	What''s in the wind, anyhow?
19246	What''s it all about?
19246	What''s that, Peg?
19246	What''s the score--7 to 1?
19246	What''s your first name?
19246	What? 19246 What?"
19246	What?
19246	Where do you play?
19246	Where do you play?
19246	Where is he? 19246 Where will you be?"
19246	Where''s Peg?
19246	Where''s Peg?
19246	Where, Peg, where did you learn that? 19246 Who''s got the mail?"
19246	Who''s that poundin''on the door?
19246	Why did n''t you tell me before?
19246	Why not?
19246	Why, Kel, what''s the matter?
19246	Will you give me a trial in the box? 19246 Will you peach on us to Arthurs?"
19246	Worry, will you let Stevens and me sit on the bench with the boys to- day?
19246	Worry, you say you brought this freshman here to talk baseball?
19246	Would you have come to me with this if I had n''t caught Peg?
19246	Would you have told me?
19246	Wull, what do all you guys want?
19246	Wull, what struck me?
19246	You have n''t been near the university since this afternoon when you pulled off the potato stunt?
19246	You would n''t believe me, would you, if I said I had my heart in my throat when we went in?
19246	You''re a little late, ai n''t you?
19246	And this is Homans, is n''t it?
19246	And you peg''em as near where I say as you can; see?"
19246	And you, Weir?"
19246	Are you all right, Peg-- cool- like and determined?...
19246	Are you goin''to let me teach you to pitch?
19246	Are you the baseball coach?"
19246	Are you up in the air at the thought of Place and Herne?"
19246	Are you up in your subjects?"
19246	As to the score, why, scores do n''t mean much to us--""What was the score, anyway?"
19246	But do n''t you know what''s happened, what the freshmen have done?"
19246	But suppose I got wild, too?"
19246	But they''re going to-- understand?"
19246	But, Worry, Reddy, dare we risk it?"
19246	Ca n''t I do something?
19246	Call Murray?"
19246	Can you hit?"
19246	Catch?
19246	Did n''t we have a crackerjack team, the fastest that ever represented old Wayne?
19246	Did n''t we smother the small college teams and beat Place twice, shut out Herne the first game, and play for a tie the second?"
19246	Did you ever hear of the bowl- fight, the great event of the year here at Wayne University?"
19246	Disgraced?"
19246	Do n''t you see?
19246	Do you think we''re going to be as sissy as that?
19246	Do you think you can keep that?
19246	For that matter, when had a sophomore ever been known to tell the truth?
19246	For what?...
19246	Get you some medicine?
19246	Had he been taken suddenly ill?
19246	Have you got any nerve?
19246	He knew he was not right, but did any one else know it?
19246	He would be miserable if not chosen, and if he was-- how on earth would he be able to keep his knees from wobbling?
19246	How about Gallagher?"
19246	How about Hill?"
19246	How about it, Cap?
19246	How about it, Kid?"
19246	How about the rest of the team?"
19246	How soon would the Place players find it out?
19246	I was n''t goin''to tell you, Peg, but you''re so--""They said that, did they?"
19246	I would like to ask you young gentlemen if you can take a beating?
19246	If he had been in a bad light before, what was his position now?
19246	If it was a bitter blow to the undergraduates, what was it to the members of the varsity?
19246	Is it sore or stiff?"
19246	Is this your dub team?
19246	Look here, Worry, maybe it''s true, but I do n''t believe it...._ I''ll beat this Herne team!_ Do you get that?"
19246	Must be in shape?"
19246	No more than that?"
19246	Not_ Ray_, the intercollegiate champion?"
19246	Now try hard, wo n''t you?
19246	Now, Ward, what have you played?"
19246	Oh, say, Cap, do n''t you think Reddy, for once, is talkin''about as swift as he sprints?"
19246	On the level, now, do n''t you know the score?"
19246	Only I''m wondering, I''m asking-- can you use it right along, in the face of such coaching and yelling and hitting as you''ll run against to- day?
19246	Only, what would they do to him when they did catch him?
19246	Peg, are you worryin''any, losin''any sleep, over those games?"
19246	Peg, what did you do?"
19246	Peg, will you watch these boys a minute while I step out?"
19246	President Halstead, why, he likes baseball, he''s a-- a-- what do you call it?"
19246	Room- mates?"
19246	Say, how old are you?"
19246	See?
19246	See?
19246	See?"
19246	Sorry you slugged me once?
19246	Sulkin''because I called him?"
19246	That it?"
19246	That scare you?"
19246	Then as they walked toward the cage Ken forced himself to ask genially:"Raymond, what''re you trying for?
19246	There''s Stern, how''d you size him?"
19246	They can field, but how about hittin''?"
19246	Thrower?
19246	Understand?
19246	Want to make up for it somehow, because you think you''ve a chance for the team, and do n''t want me to be sore on you?
19246	Ward was game to hunt me up, a thousand times gamer than he knows.... See here, Ward, where are you from?"
19246	Was he to be the butt of those overbearing sophomores?
19246	Was it possible, Ken wondered dully, for the sun ever to shine again?
19246	Wayne has won a few championships, has n''t she?"
19246	Weir was around when it happened, was n''t he-- and Blake and Trace?
19246	What are you afraid of?"
19246	What did''em fat- heads say?"
19246	What do you think of that?"
19246	What do you think, Reddy?"
19246	What else could I do?
19246	What for?"
19246	What in the deuce are you goin''way out there for?"
19246	What on earth had he done now?
19246	What place do you play?
19246	What position have you played most?"
19246	What was the use of trying?
19246	What was wrong with him?
19246	What would Worry say?"
19246	What would the old varsity do to Arthurs''new team?
19246	What''d you ever do to him, Ken?"
19246	What''ll we do?"
19246	What''s the matter with me?
19246	What''s the matter with you?"
19246	What''s wrong with you?"
19246	What''s wrong?"
19246	What''s yours?"
19246	When Ray came trotting in without seeming to be even warmed up, Worry blurted out:"You ai n''t winded-- after all that?
19246	Where''s Scotty?...
19246	Who are you?"
19246	Who''s that red- head?
19246	Why could not the grouch get a decent cap, anyway?
19246	Why could they not leave him in peace?
19246	Why did n''t I think of it?
19246	Why did n''t you let me and Homans handle this thing?
19246	Why did you take the kid over there?
19246	Why did you try to block that football rusher?"
19246	Why do n''t you fall all over me?"
19246	Why not?
19246	Why not?"
19246	Why this persistent harping on the chance of his getting excited from one cause or another, losing his control and thereby the game?
19246	Why wo n''t we be stronger than last season?
19246	Will you all please step forward and look?"
19246	Worry, could you ask any more?"
19246	Would it never come down?
19246	Would n''t it be great if he gave Gallagher the laugh?"
19246	Would this rapid fire of uncertain- bounding balls never stop?
19246	Wull, what do you take me for?
19246	You butter- finger, ca n''t you stop anything?
19246	You idiot, you wo n''t keep us in here that long?"
19246	You''ve done it now, have n''t you?
19246	You''ve got steam, Peg, but can you curve a ball?
19246	Your word of honor, now?"
19246	_ That''s_ why you''re here?"
19246	_ Wayne''s Nine!_ Do you hear?
19246	_ What_ is wrong with me?"
19246	who are you?"
19246	you back?
19246	you, Peg?
22948	A friend of yours, eh? 22948 Agreement?"
22948	And by that I suppose you mean that Wyndham is n''t playing on the level?
22948	And of course you still think him the greatest pitcher that ever happened?
22948	And you''d bet against Oakdale?
22948	Are you going to be an easy mark?
22948	Are you going to let them run you in after a game is lost by another pitcher? 22948 Are you ready?
22948	Are you? 22948 Awful, is n''t it?
22948	Been hitting the pace? 22948 But, Phil,"persisted the girl,"what made you do it?
22948	Ca n''t you dig that much up?
22948	Ca n''t you find somebody else?
22948	Can I help you? 22948 Can he pitch?"
22948	Did n''t know you had it, did you?
22948	Did n''t you ever lose?
22948	Did n''t you hear those chumps cackle with glee? 22948 Did you up pretty bad, did n''t they?"
22948	Do n''t you remember that when I got back I asked you about Eliot''s signals to the pitcher?
22948	Do you care to go into right, Roy?
22948	Do you really?
22948	Doing what?
22948	Eh? 22948 Eh?
22948	Eh?
22948	Five miles?
22948	Got a cold, eh?
22948	Had n''t you better take right, Phil?
22948	Had to? 22948 Has Herbert Rackliff been around here to- day?"
22948	Has n''t Eliot given you a square deal?
22948	Have you got that dose of bile out of your system?
22948	Hey?
22948	How bad are you hurt, old man?
22948	How did she happen to lul- lose it?
22948	How did that happen?
22948	How did the score stand? 22948 How did you get that idea?"
22948	How do you happen to be dodging across this way, Springer?
22948	How do you happen to know about this, Phil?
22948	How do you know?
22948	How do you make that out?
22948	How do you mean?
22948	How does it happen you have the impression that Barville will beat us, Rackliff?
22948	How much?
22948	How they coming? 22948 How''s your cold, Phil?"
22948	How''s your friend feel about it? 22948 I have n''t been giving him---- What has he said to you, Eliot?
22948	I know, but how could you be sure of winning?
22948	I say, Herb, are you really dead sure that Barville will win this afternoon?
22948	I suppose you''re mighty confident again that Oakdale will get beaten?
22948	I was pretty rotten, was n''t I?
22948	I?
22948	If you know so much, why do n''t you tell it? 22948 Is it you-- Phil?
22948	Is n''t up? 22948 Is that the reason why you''ve been giving Rod Grant the cold shoulder?"
22948	Is this true?
22948	It does, does it? 22948 Lander,"said Roger swiftly, as he fussed with the mask,"where is Springer?
22948	Lost it?
22948	Lost your nerve? 22948 Mr. Umpire,"called Eliot,"will you keep that catcher from talking to the batters?"
22948	My dud- downfall?
22948	My-- my suit?
22948	Newbert? 22948 No?"
22948	Not Newt Copley?
22948	Now, you would have cut a lot of ice as a pindi hitter, would n''t you? 22948 Of course, you fellows have heard all about that Clearport- Wyndham game?
22948	Oh, Phil,Sadie had said when she found a chance to speak with him privately,"what made you tell father such a whopper about the game?
22948	Oh, ai n''t ye?
22948	Oh, is it you?
22948	Oh, is it you?
22948	Oh, is that so?
22948	Oh, so you wo n''t fight, eh? 22948 Oh, you needed the money, eh?"
22948	Oh, your father sent you here?
22948	Only a dollar? 22948 Rain?
22948	Risk it?
22948	Say, what are you tut- trying to do?
22948	Sent you down here, did he? 22948 So they''re bound to crowd me out again, are they?"
22948	So you bet on_ judgment_, did you? 22948 So you''re corresponding with him, are you?"
22948	So you''re going to chase the games up, are you?
22948	So you''ve been speculating as to the cause of my choosing this serene, rural seat of knowledge, have you? 22948 So_ that''s_ it, eh?
22948	Sort of taken your downfall to heart, have n''t you?
22948	Thanks to me?
22948	The score-- what''s the score?
22948	Then why should you say I''d given him the cold shoulder?
22948	Then you''re Nun- Newbert, are you?
22948	They batted Springer out, did n''t they? 22948 Told your folks a lie, did you?"
22948	Uses the old finger system, does n''t he?
22948	Wh- why did n''t I do it?
22948	What agreement?
22948	What are you doing here-- at this hour? 22948 What are you doing here?"
22948	What are you talking about, old fel? 22948 What are you talking about?"
22948	What are you trying to do, Hooker?
22948	What are you trying to do, choke the lul- life out of a fellow that you know is n''t any match for you? 22948 What became of you after breakfast, partner?"
22948	What brought you over here, anyhow?
22948	What did the old girl say when she found it out?
22948	What did you do to it?
22948	What did you put on the old ball, anyhow? 22948 What did you say?"
22948	What do you know about that, fellows?
22948	What do you mean by taking my machine without asking?
22948	What do you mean by that? 22948 What do you mean by''fixed''?"
22948	What have you been doing?
22948	What is it, Springer?
22948	What made you quit pitching so soon?
22948	What the dickens does this mean?
22948	What would you have done if he''d taken you up?
22948	What''s his name?
22948	What''s that amount to, if a fellow has n''t the curves at his command?
22948	What''s that? 22948 What''s the good of that?"
22948	What''s the matter with you?
22948	What''s your idea in boosting him by putting him next to a winning proposition?
22948	What, and lose the chance of seeing Oakdale beaten? 22948 What?
22948	What?
22948	What?
22948	Where have you been with it?
22948	Where in blazes have you been with it?
22948	Where is Rackliff?
22948	Who says Phil Springer made Rod Grant take water?
22948	Who''s butting in, anyhow? 22948 Who''s talking to them?
22948	Why did n''t you yank me out, captain?
22948	Why do n''t you put Sleuth onter the case?
22948	Why in the dickens do n''t you get out of a fellow''s way?
22948	Why should we be?
22948	Why, I do n''t see----"Do n''t you? 22948 Why, do n''t you know?
22948	Why-- why, what happened?
22948	Wonder where he gets so much money?
22948	Working? 22948 You bet against your own school team, did ye?
22948	You did n''t see me around school this afternoon, did you?
22948	You did that? 22948 You did?"
22948	You do n''t mind being hit a little in batting practice, do you?
22948	You got my last letter all right?
22948	You have n''t given up the idea of pitching?
22948	You have n''t had very good lul- luck betting, have you?
22948	You''re just as confident as ever that Wyndham will win?
22948	You-- you''ll what?
22948	You?
22948	Your what?
22948	Afraid?"
22948	Any fun''round this metropolitan burg?"
22948	Been attending too many hot suppers?
22948	But could he now"make good"himself?
22948	But, say-- say, who pitched?"
22948	By this time Springer had recovered, and he ventured to ask:"What''s this Rackliff tells me about the gug- game going nine innings?
22948	Ca n''t you do any better than that?
22948	Could n''t you show him up somehow and fix it so your sister would put Lela wise to him?"
22948	Did n''t you get good backing up?"
22948	Did they win?"
22948	Did you make a raise so that you can bet a little cold cash on the great contest to- day?
22948	Did you say Grant was hurt?"
22948	Did you think I took that journey to Barville on your old motorcycle merely for recreation?"
22948	Do n''t you want to try it?"
22948	Does he play?"
22948	Finally he spoke up interrogatingly:"What are you trying to do, anyhow, old man?
22948	Get that?"
22948	Give it to me straight, Roy, is that fellow Sanger really much of a pitcher?
22948	Going to take a dip?"
22948	Going to walk me?
22948	Haowdy do, my friend?
22948	Has he been tut- tut- talking about me?"
22948	Have a smoke?"
22948	Have a smoke?"
22948	Have you forgotten the sort of rotten, shabby treatment you''ve had to stand by this very bunch that wants to put you up for sacrifice now?"
22948	How did he get it?"
22948	How did it happen?
22948	How much money did you scrape together?"
22948	How much money have you got?"
22948	How''s baseball coming, Hooky?"
22948	How''s the weather?"
22948	I fancy it may be possible that you would enjoy seeing Wyndham beat Oakdale?"
22948	I s''pose they give you an awful hammering?
22948	I suppose you''re pretty confident, after beating both Barville and Clearport?
22948	If I had known in advance----""Now what would you have done?"
22948	In a hurry?"
22948	Is that a fact?
22948	Let''s see, played Clearport, did n''t ye?
22948	Look here, Roy, do you know Eliot''s finger signals to the pitcher?"
22948	Now that I''m here, how does it stand?"
22948	Of course, I know Roberts would blow about him, but what do you think?"
22948	Part of the city, is n''t it-- Roxbury?
22948	Pitch?
22948	Rackliff accepted the money and pocketed it"Do n''t suppose you want a receipt?"
22948	Rained, eh?
22948	Say, Springer rather showed that fellow up, too, did n''t he?"
22948	Say, is n''t it odd that I should have a chum pitching for Wyndham this year and an acquaintance catching for Barville?"
22948	Say, we''ve kicked up a rumpus around here, have n''t we?
22948	See him?"
22948	See?"
22948	That fellow has developed, has n''t he?
22948	Then I suppose that dub Hooker is pitching now?"
22948	Then what''s the use for me to try to pitch if Eliot is n''t going to give me any sort of a show?"
22948	Was it possible he was to have an opportunity to pitch in that game?
22948	Was n''t that a corking catch he made?"
22948	Well, chum, how are you fixed?
22948	Well, say, did n''t you realize what you were doing while you were coaching that fellow?
22948	Well, what did you do to lead him to perpetrate such an outrage?"
22948	Well, what''s the matter with you, then?
22948	What ails you, Hook; are you going to let Eliot softsoap round you?
22948	What are you doing out in this rain with his machine?"
22948	What are you talking about, partner?
22948	What do you know about that, Bo?"
22948	What do you say?"
22948	What does he know about scientific fighting?
22948	What if Grant were to succeed in holding the Clearporters down?
22948	What if he could not stop Wyndham?
22948	What if they should both get theirs?
22948	What in the name of mystery do you mean by sneaking out here and trying to wallop your arm off all by your lonesome?"
22948	What made you do that?"
22948	What made you skin out, Phil?"
22948	What right had he to rail against Newbert?
22948	What went wrong with the game, anyhow?
22948	What were they saying about the game in town?
22948	What were they saying about the pitching of Rodney Grant?
22948	What''s he doing here?"
22948	What''s he look like, anyhaow?"
22948	What''s the matter with it?
22948	What''s the matter?"
22948	Where did this new Christy Mathewson come from, anyhow?
22948	Where was Rackliff?
22948	Who said Hooky could n''t pitch?
22948	Who was ahead?"
22948	Who would ever think you were the quarter back of the great Oakdale eleven?
22948	Who''s Newbert?"
22948	Who''s the next feller?"
22948	Why did n''t Eliot put you in to pitch?
22948	Why do you think I stayed out of school to work at any old job I could get?
22948	Why does n''t Merwin take Oakes out?"
22948	Why not?
22948	Why not?"
22948	Why not?"
22948	Wo n''t you find Grant and ask him to let you have his suit?
22948	You can tell that I bet against my own team if you want to, but----""I presume you''re perfectly willing that I should tell how you came by the money?
22948	You did?
22948	You do n''t want to get everybody down on you, do you?"
22948	You say there''s a bunch down by Stickney''s, eh?
22948	You tell him that----"A harsh cough came echoing down the stairs and a voice called:"That you, Dade?
22948	You think yourself a better pitcher than I am or ever can be, do you?
22948	You were trying to dodge the ball, were n''t you, Sile?
55896	''Fraid of burglars?
55896	About everything you own seems to be in the thing, does n''t it?
55896	All ready, Pat?
55896	And be sure you latch the door, do you hear?
55896	And there are more plagues to follow?
55896	And you''ll agree to apologize, too?
55896	Any one with you?
55896	Are n''t they rather a rich set?
55896	Been rough- housed, have you?
55896	But what about the old ones?
55896	But you ran the thing, did n''t you?
55896	By the way, have you seen Owen catch?
55896	Can I see you a minute?
55896	Could you get us the seats?
55896	Dead?
55896	Did he tell you he was n''t coming back?
55896	Did n''t I say your time was better than any other new man has made?
55896	Did n''t I? 55896 Did n''t he butt in about the Moons''room?"
55896	Did n''t you send for me?
55896	Did they send you?
55896	Did they wet it down?
55896	Did we, Dun?
55896	Did you ever play in the outfield?
55896	Did you hear any one come in here?
55896	Did you promise?
55896	Did you say you had the right time?
55896	Did you see who threw it in?
55896	Do you mean to say that Carle has sneaked off home for good, and sold his things to you?
55896	Do you mean to say that they knew when it was done?
55896	Going to stay here all night?
55896	Going to the game?
55896	Has he sold his things to you?
55896	Has_ he_ been doing something good?
55896	Have a good time?
55896	Have they had another?
55896	Have you heard him coaching Patterson?
55896	Have you the right time about you?
55896	He''ll do me a heap of good two years from now, wo n''t he? 55896 How can those little boys do it so well?"
55896	How did it come? 55896 How did it go?"
55896	How did you find that out?
55896	How did you happen to do it?
55896	How did you know about it?
55896	How did you know?
55896	How do you know that he is sending the plagues?
55896	How do you suppose I know? 55896 How does he know that we stacked his room?"
55896	How is Owen-- good?
55896	How many plagues of Egypt were there?
55896	How many?
55896	How much of that pitching did Patterson really do?
55896	How would you like to take me for a change, and let O''Connell have Foxcroft?
55896	How''d they happen to be here?
55896	How''s that?
55896	How''s that?
55896	How''s your arm?
55896	I say, Bobby, what do you think has happened?
55896	Is n''t he falling off in his work?
55896	Is n''t that good sense?
55896	Is that all you''ve got to say?
55896	Is that enough?
55896	Is your room- mate in?
55896	Just let down the catch, see?
55896	Just tell Simmons I''ve given up my plan of the snake, wo n''t you?
55896	Look here, will you drop this quitter''s talk about not running if I do the trick?
55896	More eels?
55896	My apology will do for both, wo n''t it?
55896	None of the furniture was yours, was it?
55896	Now, as long as you can keep the batter uncertain whether the ball that''s coming is good or bad, you have him at a disadvantage, have n''t you? 55896 Owen, what is the meaning of this disturbance?"
55896	Patterson is a kind of dark horse, is n''t he? 55896 Payner, how long are you going to keep this thing up?"
55896	Pitch in, ca n''t you? 55896 Prince of Bentonville"they called him at home, did they?
55896	Salter? 55896 Say, did you see those fellows back there on the bank?
55896	Simmons out?
55896	So you''re the other one, are you? 55896 Tell me, have they had another?
55896	That''s a beauty, is n''t it?
55896	That''s the fellow that''s been working the plagues on the Pecks, is n''t it?
55896	That''s what you want to prove, is n''t it? 55896 They''d been at recitation?"
55896	Up the river again with Payner?
55896	Want it repeated?
55896	Was n''t the other one with him?
55896	Well, what is it?
55896	Well, what was it?
55896	Well, what''s the matter, then? 55896 Well?"
55896	Were you fellows at the Gym the whole hour?
55896	What are you going to do with them? 55896 What business is it of yours?"
55896	What did Lyford say?
55896	What did you get him in there for anyway?
55896	What do you mean?
55896	What do you think of him?
55896	What do you think of that?
55896	What do you think of that?
55896	What does it mean?
55896	What experience have I ever had in the infield? 55896 What is it?
55896	What is it?
55896	What is it?
55896	What is the matter with Carle?
55896	What kind of teams has he faced?
55896	What luck?
55896	What put that idea into your head? 55896 What terms do you offer?"
55896	What then?
55896	What up?
55896	What was it, Dave? 55896 What''re you doing, Dun?"
55896	What''s it all for, anyway?
55896	What''s this important thing you wanted to tell me?
55896	What''s this?
55896	What''s up?
55896	When was it done?
55896	Where did he go?
55896	Where does he borrow? 55896 Where is he?"
55896	Where is he?
55896	Where''s Carle?
55896	Where''s the pile?
55896	Where?
55896	Who catches you?
55896	Who did it?
55896	Who found him?
55896	Who was cussed enough to rip up his room?
55896	Who was that?
55896	Who''s Eddy, anyway?
55896	Who''s going to be captain next year, Rob?
55896	Who''s there?
55896	Who''s trying to squirm?
55896	Why did he have to go? 55896 Why did he have to go?"
55896	Why do n''t you go up the river, then? 55896 Why do n''t you look after him?"
55896	Why is it that I am compelled to come up here to secure for my guests below the privilege of ordinary peace and quiet? 55896 Why not?
55896	Why this compliment?
55896	Why?
55896	Would you? 55896 Yes; how did you know?"
55896	You can put''em where I say just the same, ca n''t you?
55896	You do n''t really think Payner''d be mean enough to put all those on us, do you?
55896	You told Duncan about it, did n''t you?
55896	You understand that you are to cover second if a man on first tries to steal, do n''t you?
55896	You wo n''t say anything to Poole about this, will you?
55896	You''re coming back next year, are n''t you?
55896	And did he accomplish great things?
55896	And he told the Pecks too?"
55896	And what of Owen?
55896	And who thinks anything of Bowers with all his dough?"
55896	Are they sticking us, or ai n''t Ned doing right?
55896	Are you going to join?"
55896	Are you going?"
55896	As long as he do n''t get to the dinner, what do we care?
55896	Both these objects had been attained; what more could he fairly ask?
55896	CHAPTER XVI THEORIES AND PLANS"Going to get into the game to- day?"
55896	Can you lend me twenty dollars?"
55896	Come in, wo n''t you?"
55896	Could he hold his own against a strong nine?
55896	Could he keep this lead?
55896	Could it be true?
55896	Did you ever play in the infield?"
55896	Do you think it''s worth while?
55896	Do you want him?"
55896	Got a handkerchief?
55896	Had n''t he caught just as good a game that afternoon?
55896	Have you?"
55896	He had no tale to tell the boys the next morning that would not be met with"Then what did you do?"
55896	Honestly, now, do you think I''m ever going to learn to pitch?"
55896	How many were there, ca n''t you tell us?
55896	How was it that nobody knew anything about him before to- day?
55896	I ca n''t think, can you?"
55896	I suppose I came here to study and not to play ball, so what''s the use of worrying?
55896	I suppose he told you about it?"
55896	I''ll take the things down and you put''em away, see?"
55896	If they do n''t, what do you care?
55896	Is he good?"
55896	Is his record clear?
55896	It ran as follows:--"Dear Robert,--"Is anything the matter with Ned?
55896	It was awfully nice of him, was n''t it?"
55896	It''s all right now as far as you''ve gone; but where''s the other one of you?"
55896	It''s got to be slower than a swift one, and not too slow; but how does Owen know that the difference is just ten feet?
55896	Oh, have you seen what the school gave the football men?"
55896	Rob knew that he had not twenty dollars on hand, or half that sum, but instead of saying so, he answered by a question:--"What for?"
55896	Seen anything of Lindsay?"
55896	Spit it out, ca n''t you?"
55896	Suppose Carle has ten chances and throws five of them away, and you have eight and throw away only two, who is the better man?"
55896	Tell him I tried to find him, wo n''t you, when he comes in?"
55896	The rest came scrambling back, each demanding eagerly as he came:"Have you got him?"
55896	Want to see''em?"
55896	Was Carle really going to leave?
55896	Was it a home run?
55896	Was it worth while, even for the sake of the baseball?
55896	Was n''t Rob himself playing in an entirely strange position because they wanted him there?
55896	Was n''t he surprised at the way Patterson showed up?
55896	Was that the way in which originals were to be solved?
55896	Was the pitcher really as good as he seemed?
55896	Well, what do you want?"
55896	Were he and Patterson to prove in a class with McGuffy and Peacock?
55896	Were they really going to recognize the merit of his work?
55896	What are we going to do about it?"
55896	What can you do with a fellow who listens and grins like an idiot and wo n''t argue, and yet refuses to be convinced?
55896	What crime could they commit here?
55896	What do you think I saw?"
55896	What do you want to know about him?"
55896	What makes the school cost so much more than they said it was going to?
55896	What makes you look glum?"
55896	What number has he reached now?"
55896	What was it?"
55896	What were they doing?"
55896	What''s O''Connell or that green Patterson compared with him?
55896	When you start in with a batter, the chances are four to three in favor of the pitcher, are n''t they?
55896	Where?"
55896	Which is it now?"
55896	Who are these Seaton Clippers anyway?"
55896	Who else could have done it anyway?
55896	Who was it, anyway?"
55896	Who''s got the peach of a canoe?"
55896	Why ca n''t you let Poole and Lyford do the worrying?"
55896	Why could n''t Poole give him as fair a show as he did Borland?
55896	Why could n''t he live within his means, like any decent fellow?
55896	Why did he have to join that Standard Oil crowd and play the sport, when he knew, and everybody knew, that he had no money to spend?
55896	Why did n''t you stop him?"
55896	Why must he suffer because Don was a mule?
55896	Why should he care?
55896	Why should n''t he catch Patterson, and let O''Connell take Foxcroft?
55896	Why should n''t he feel confidence?
55896	Why should n''t he invite me if he wants to?"
55896	Would the seniors find their president and bring him back?
55896	Yet who would venture to assert that among these insignificants some distinguished man of the future may not be hidden?
55896	You do n''t suppose he cares anything for my opinion, do you?
55896	You do n''t suppose that Jones and Stratton and Nicholson are going to throw around less money because he''s with''em, do you?
55896	You know you''re a better catcher than Borland, now, do n''t you?"
55896	You used to catch him, did n''t you?"
55896	You wo n''t mind, will you?
55896	asked Rob;"did they bluff you?"
55896	cried Donald, when Owen finished his report;"apologize for having eels put in your bed and rats thrown at you?
55896	do you mean it?"
55896	or do n''t you know yourself?"
55896	shouted Payner,"been swimming?"
12690	''Power of the press''?
12690	Accept?
12690	After all, what is a High School principal, without dignity?
12690	All of us fellows---_all_ of us might be called a community, do n''t you think?
12690	All of you?
12690	Am I going?
12690	And Darrin the same length of time?
12690	And now I will ask you,wound up Mr. Ripley,"whether you can tell me anything about the hold that Scammon seems to have exercised over my son?"
12690	And there''ll never be any further demands?
12690	And you were one of them?
12690	And you''re going to accept it?
12690	And, Dave,pressed Dick,"you''ll skip home, now, and get a big night''s rest, wo n''t you?
12690	And, do you know, I''m glad it''s up to you to pitch? 12690 Any more candidates?"
12690	Are they counted and done up into rolls of fifty, with your name on each roll?
12690	Are you going to win for the glory and honor of good old Gridley?
12690	Are you going, Laura?
12690	Are you out of sorts?
12690	Are you--- going to accept yours, Dave?
12690	As long as we''re all to be hanged together, what say if we do n''t go back at all to- day?
12690	Ask the Board''s advice? 12690 Bresgott, how many horsepower are you alretty?"
12690	But Fred was n''t hurt?
12690	But after the game starts?
12690	But are you going to have any spare time?
12690	But can you run the bases to the end?
12690	But how about Ripley?
12690	But how about the big problem--- can he pitch to- day?
12690	But why did you give Ripley such a boost? 12690 Ca n''t you give us a few paragraphs of real High School news?
12690	Can Ripley do it again?
12690	Can you see two young ladies, Richard?
12690	Coming to make some report, or some suggestion, I take it, eh, Cantwell?
12690	D''ye know why, Fred, my boy? 12690 Dad, can I have a few minutes''talk with you about one of my ambitions?"
12690	Dad,he gasped,"how can you ask me such questions?"
12690	Dalzell?
12690	Darrin?
12690	Dick& Co.?
12690	Dick--- you hurt?
12690	Did I?
12690	Did I?
12690	Did you all find time to observe?
12690	Did you tell Pollock what we are going to do?
12690	Did you write that High School baseball stuff in this morning''s paper, Dick?
12690	Do n''t you remember? 12690 Do n''t you want me to pay you for the music, sir?"
12690	Do you care to go around with us and look at the displays in the stores?
12690	Do you know the nature of that hold?
12690	Do you remember anything about it?
12690	Do you suppose it could have been Tip Scammon?
12690	Do you suspect any of the servants?
12690	Do you think Darrin had better have the rest of the game?
12690	Do you want more, sir?
12690	Do you want to call for a relief pitcher, Prescott?
12690	Does this hurt? 12690 Eh, Dave?"
12690	Eh?
12690	Er--- aren''t you going to stay, Cantwell?
12690	Father?
12690	For me?
12690	Going to show up this afternoon?
12690	Going to try to make the regular team?
12690	Got hurt, you mean?
12690	Got something for us again?
12690	Has any man used tobacco since training began?
12690	Have n''t you anything to say?
12690	Have they been within earshot--- listening?
12690	Have you an opinion, Captain?
12690	Have you any theory, Fred, that would help to account for the missing of these sums of money?
12690	He''s Ripley''s right hand at nasty work, is n''t he?
12690	Holmes?
12690	How am I to preserve discipline, if I ca n''t inflict punishments?
12690	How are we going to do it?
12690	How did you ever get it down so slick?
12690	How do you like Mr. Luce''s idea, Dick?
12690	How is he, doctor?
12690	How long have you been here?
12690	How many?
12690	How much did ye pay me for keeping my mouth closed, so you would n''t have to do your stretch?
12690	How much have ye?
12690	How much would it cost?
12690	How''s Dick?
12690	How''s your wrist holding up?
12690	I always was a pretty fair pitcher, was n''t I?
12690	I suppose you two, then, have it all mapped out as to what you''re going to do in life?
12690	I think, if I were you, sir, I should pay no heed to this joke-----"Joke?
12690	I wonder how the girls like their gifts?
12690	I wonder if the younker''s gettin''wise?
12690	I wonder what Mr. Cantwell is thinking about,_ now_?
12690	I wonder what effect it will have on the size of the squad?
12690	I''m afraid you do n''t believe that, Dave?
12690	I?
12690	If I hold off until to- morrer afternoon, will ye have the other nine, an''an extry dollar fer me trouble?
12690	If a newspaper''s writers all wrote just to please themselves and their friends, how many people do you suppose would buy the daily papers? 12690 If that''s his plan,"inquired Reade,"what are you going to do, old fellow?"
12690	Is Tip Scammon back from the penitentiary?
12690	Is it humorous to have a lot of young rascals running all over one''s authority?
12690	Is--- is anything wrong?
12690	It was great sport--- not?
12690	Just going around and looking at things?
12690	May I ask for my own catcher, sir?
12690	May I ask how you know?
12690	Mr. Cantwell, can you spare us a few moments in your office?
12690	Mr. Drake, will you come to the desk?
12690	Mr. Prescott, you are fully informed as to the hoax that was perpetrated on me yesterday morning?
12690	Mr. Prescott, you write for''The Blade,''do n''t you?
12690	Mr. Prescott,demanded Coach Luce,"how long have you been working under Pop Gint''s training?"
12690	Mr. Purcell, you made some threat to me a few minutes ago?
12690	Now, then, fellows, we''ll all be on hand this afternoon, wo n''t we, and on every other afternoon that we''re needed?
12690	Now, what are you doing?
12690	Now, what do you want to say to me?
12690	Now, what does he mean to do? 12690 Now, what had I better do about it?"
12690	Now, what''s Tip doing down here, near the Ripley place?
12690	Now, who would want to do that?
12690	Of all possible claims to date?
12690	Of course,Prescott agreed.."But you know what acceptance carries with it?
12690	Oh--- ah--- Prescott, Richard Prescott?
12690	On what?
12690	On yer--- what?
12690	Purcell, do n''t you think it will be safe to trust Ripley to pitch against Cedarville High School?
12690	Reade?
12690	Rip, where did you ever learn that great work?
12690	Ripley? 12690 Ripley?"
12690	Ripley?
12690	Say, I wonder if he could have been the one who ambushed you?
12690	Say, how long have you been hiding that thousand- candle- power light under a bushel?
12690	Say, what do you suppose they''re planning to put up on us for a Christmas job? 12690 See here, Purcell, if Ripley is looking down in the mouth at recess, why do n''t you go up to him and talk baseball?
12690	See here, Scammon, what in blazes did you mean by sending me a note like the one I got from youdemanded Fred?
12690	See here, you-----"I s''pose ye think ye can do all ye wanter to me, jest because I''ve been doin''my stretch?
12690	See that thing?
12690	See, here, Scammon, if I can find another five--- somehow--- that''ll be the last of this business? 12690 Sense of humor?"
12690	Shall I state my view of the affair now?
12690	Shameful, was it, you young reprobate? 12690 So Fred''s paying Tip money, and Tip knows it''s blackmail?"
12690	So you think you can pitch, Prescott?
12690	Spencer would n''t care if he did n''t have to report the Board meetings at all?
12690	Sure of it, sir? 12690 Tell me, Mr. Gadsby, what is Prescott, of the sophomore class, doing here?"
12690	That''s about all shopping means, is n''t it?
12690	That''s correct, is n''t it?
12690	The band is playing something about a captain, is n''t it?
12690	The score''s safe, is n''t it?
12690	Then do n''t you know, my boy, how often_ two girls_ have altered the fates of whole nations? 12690 Then what shall I do with the young men this time?"
12690	Then whom can you suspect, sir?
12690	Then you''re sure Ripley is at the bottom of these accidents?
12690	Tip Scammon?
12690	Tip,questioned Dave Darrin, sharply,"why did you just throw two brickbats at Dick Prescott''s head?"
12690	Want to see some fun?
12690	Well, Ripley, who trained you?
12690	Well, how do you think you''d like to work for us?
12690	Well, let us see how many pennies would be needed? 12690 Well, then, Fred, what is it?"
12690	Well, why ca n''t we have it?
12690	Well, why do n''t you?
12690	Well?
12690	What about Dick Prescott?
12690	What about Gridley,_ now_?
12690	What am I to do with this?
12690	What are they?
12690	What are you going to do this summer, Prescott?
12690	What are you going to do to- morrow?
12690	What are you talking about? 12690 What can be the cause of it all?"
12690	What did he do?
12690	What did you mean, fellow?
12690	What did_ you_ do?
12690	What do I care?
12690	What do you mean?
12690	What do you mean?
12690	What do you mean?
12690	What has a lawyer to do with the aching desire for a swim?
12690	What have you to say about it?
12690	What is it, boys--- a fire?
12690	What is your idea?
12690	What on earth can my husband have been doing?
12690	What on earth did that mean?
12690	What on earth does one give a girl at Christmas?
12690	What on earth is coming?
12690	What on earth shall we do with them?
12690	What on earth, Abner, did you mean by sending me this great cartload of pennies?
12690	What was it the great Burke had to say about punishing a community?
12690	What was it? 12690 What was it?"
12690	What was our weak spot, Coach?
12690	What was that threat?
12690	What was that?
12690	What was the substance of that conversation?
12690	What will you work at?
12690	What would you like most of all in the world to be?
12690	What''ll you take for''em? 12690 What''s going?"
12690	What''s the bet?
12690	What''s the fair and honorable thing to do--- keep quiet? 12690 What''s the matter, Prescott?"
12690	What''s this?
12690	What--- under discipline?
12690	When may I go to see Everett, sir?
12690	Where did Prescott get that thing? 12690 Where did these fellows ever learn to pitch to beat me?"
12690	Where''s Fred?
12690	Where, in the whole town, could a bunch of youngsters like us, get thirty- six dollars''worth of real credit?
12690	Which one?
12690	Who are the heroes here?
12690	Who are the other candidates for pitcher?
12690	Who else would care to plan them, except that disagreeable fellow?
12690	Who made the first proposal?
12690	Who said that?
12690	Who taught you?
12690	Who wanted to be crack pitcher for the nine? 12690 Who was it, anyway?"
12690	Who were the others?
12690	Who''s going to pitch for the school nine?
12690	Who?
12690	Whose idea was it?
12690	Why did you throw the brickbats on your own hook?
12690	Why play the ninth?
12690	Why, Dick, do you think anything but pestilence or death could keep me away? 12690 Why?
12690	Why?
12690	Will the young--- gentlemen--- aid me in recovering the coins that went on the floor?
12690	Will you fight Purcell like a man, if we do?
12690	Will you let me attend a few of the meetings, and take my chances on the amount of space I can get out of it?
12690	Will you oblige me with the answer? 12690 Will you show me--- after the nine has been made up, of course?"
12690	Would you have done it?
12690	Ye did n''t pay me fer the stretch I done, did ye?
12690	Ye''re sorry just a dollar''s worth--- is that it? 12690 Yes; has the thing reached you already?"
12690	Yes? 12690 You are sure of that, Fred?"
12690	You ca n''t? 12690 You did n''t see the fellow well enough to make out who he was?"
12690	You do n''t expect me to furnish you with any?
12690	You do n''t send a reporter to report the Board of Education meetings, do you?
12690	You do n''t want to strain your work before you''ve really begun it any other candidates for pitching want to have a try now?
12690	You fell on your hands, as well, did n''t you?
12690	You mean the incident of the pennies, I think, sir?
12690	You played a little joke on your new and not wholly popular principal, did n''t you?
12690	You promise that, solemnly?
12690	You see the true principle of the sprint?
12690	You two are n''t losing heart, are you?
12690	You want that knee in shape at the earliest moment, do n''t you?
12690	You will not, will you?
12690	You wished to see me, sir?
12690	You wo n''t get too nervous, will you?
12690	You would consider it dishonorable?
12690	You''re sure about it?
12690	You, too?
12690	You--- you do n''t mean jail?
12690	You? 12690 _ But who''s the girl_?"
12690	_ In pennies_?
12690	_ Two girls_?
12690	_ We_ will?
12690	_ You_, who admit having had a big hand in what was really an outrage?
12690	And Dick Prescott?
12690	Are we a community, in a sort of legal sense?
12690	Are you going to try to bring us in good matter at a dollar a column?"
12690	Besides, some one had just called out, banteringly:"Why not take him to the horse trough?"
12690	But I suppose all you gentlemen have heard of Pop Gint?"
12690	But come, sir, are you going to make a decent apology to Prescott and his friends for the contemptible things you''ve tried to do to them?"
12690	But do n''t attempt to get up for anything, do you understand, Prescott?
12690	But it is n''t necessary to read, is it?"
12690	But what are you doing this afternoon?"
12690	But what do you say, fellows?
12690	But when the submaster coach turned and saw Parkinson butting his head against the punching bag he called out:"What''s the matter, Parkinson?"
12690	But, do you know, I have been missing some money from that safe of late?
12690	But--- er--- what''s the nature of the trouble?
12690	By the way, Prescott, have you planned on what you mean to be when you''re through school?"
12690	CHAPTER VIII HUH?
12690	CHAPTER X DICK& CO. TAKE A TURN AT FEELING GLUM"What''s the matter with Ripley?"
12690	CHAPTER XXI DICK IS GENEROUS BECAUSE IT''S NATURAL"Say, will you look at Rip?"
12690	Ca n''t I get my head to working and find a way to_ make_ something happen?"
12690	D''ye hear?
12690	Dick?
12690	Did Fred Ripley truly make good?
12690	Did n''t you write this yarn for me?
12690	Did you get one just like this, Dave?"
12690	Do the students_ want_ to annoy me?"
12690	Does this?
12690	Drake?"
12690	Eldridge?"
12690	Fred, have you been getting into any scrapes?
12690	Gridley boys are nice little fellows, but-----""How''s that wrist?"
12690	Has any man broken training table?"
12690	Have you been helping yourself to the money on the sly?"
12690	Have you found out where your mother and I hide the key to the safe?
12690	Honestly, have you been smoking any cigarettes?"
12690	How in blazes did they ever get hold of the wrinkles?
12690	How long were the boys out, over recess time?"
12690	Huh?
12690	I do n''t suppose there is any way that we can catch him?"
12690	I wonder if I could make him understand how foolish and cowardly it is to go on paying for a blackmailer''s silence?
12690	I wonder whom they''ll allow to hold the other three positions?"
12690	If Ripley has been a bit disagreeable and ugly, shall we try to make him feel that there''s always a chance to turn around and be decent?"
12690	In the cause of justice, Prescott, will you answer me frankly?"
12690	Is he going to pitch this afternoon?"
12690	Is that clear?"
12690	Is this what you termed a mutiny?"
12690	It hurt to stand on your foot when you first tried to do so, did n''t it?"
12690	Just as the principal was putting the last of the coins into his satchel Mr. Drake leaned over to whisper:"May I make a suggestion, sir?"
12690	Money?
12690	Most people ca n''t see where real grit comes in, in baseball""Yet you think the lack of grit, or stamina, is just what ails Rip?"
12690	Now, what do you say, sir?"
12690	Now, which one of you pitchers is ambitious to do something?"
12690	Now, while going to the High School, why ca n''t you turn reporter in your spare time, and earn a little pocket money?"
12690	Now--- watching, all of you?"
12690	Oh, bother it, what had a fellow better do in a case like this?"
12690	Old Pop?"
12690	Prescott?"
12690	Prescott?"
12690	Purcell?"
12690	Rather a young man to wield the power of the press is n''t he?"
12690	Right, ai n''t I?"
12690	Right, so far, ai n''t I?"
12690	Ripley, suppose you try?"
12690	Say, Dick, I wonder---""What?"
12690	Say, can you see the Prin.---just turning white and muttering to himself?
12690	Schimmelpodt?"
12690	See it?"
12690	Shall I tell Fred?
12690	Shameful to you, when you have been stealing for weeks, if not for months?
12690	Some of those big- as- all- outdoors, wobbly, crocheted slippers?"
12690	Something about the state of athletics there?"
12690	That''d been good fer all his spendin''money, would n''t it?"
12690	That''s a useful lesson--- leadership--- to carry out into life, is n''t it, sir?"
12690	That''s thirty- six hundred, is n''t it?
12690	Then Mr. Coy spoke:"Where''s your riot, principal?
12690	Then a wild cheer broke loose:"Ripley?
12690	Then came:"Prescott?"
12690	Then, after a pause,"See here, Prescott, why could n''t you write this up for me?"
12690	Then:"Hazelton?"
12690	Thirty- six?
12690	Trip over it?"
12690	Understand?
12690	Well?"
12690	What about that ball?
12690	What can I do?"
12690	What do you want to see me about?
12690	What else happened?
12690	What if my wrist goes lame during the game?"
12690	What is the trouble?
12690	What was it?"
12690	When we were in the department store, do you remember that the girls were looking over some worsteds, or yarns, or whatever you call the stuff?"
12690	Where''s the fire?"
12690	Where?
12690	Who pitches to- day, if neither of us can?
12690	Why ca n''t we six help to prove that interest in athletics puts the scholarship mark up, not down?"
12690	Why ca n''t_ you_ make the position of pitcher, too?"
12690	Why did n''t I have more sense?
12690	Why did n''t I own up, and''throw myself on the mercy of the court''?"
12690	Will you do it?"
12690	Will you engage Everett, or let me hire him, to train me right from the start in all the best styles of pitching?"
12690	With your father?"
12690	Wo n''t you take a dozen rolls and peddle them?
12690	Would you now try to shield him from the consequences of such acts?"
12690	Ye brought the wherewithal?"
12690	Yet, as Mr. Pollock inquired,"Why not?"
12690	You can get over once in a while, and spend a night or two, ca n''t you?
12690	You saw them play last year?"
12690	You stand looking in the window a minute or so after I leave you, will you?"
12690	You study history at the High School, do n''t you?"
12690	You wo n''t expect to get any more money out of me?"
12690	You''re not going to hang back on the crowd, are you?"
12690	_ You_ like him, do n''t you, Cantwell?"
12690	asked us, last Friday, to bring in our fifteen pennies for the Christmas music?"
12690	being swamped under a deluge of pennies--- plain, individual little copper cents?"
12690	can be up to?"
12690	had only sprung that on us_ before_ recess-----""Well, suppose he had?"
12735	A talking match?
12735	A thief?
12735	Afraid? 12735 Ai n''t you the mean one?"
12735	All clear?
12735	Amos Gar--- wood?
12735	And I suppose our son feels that he''s a man now?
12735	And it did n''t hurt either you or Darrin?
12735	And the price?
12735	And then the explosion happened?
12735	And they certainly look more than fine, do n''t they?
12735	And what was that?
12735	And what was that?
12735	And you did n''t find the watch?
12735	And you got us all the way up here, at an appointed time, just to hear that?
12735	Any--- one--- want--- help?
12735	Are n''t you going to tell us now?
12735	Are nominations in order?
12735	Are the North Grammar boys better developed physically?
12735	Are they in the cottage?
12735	Are we going to pitch in to practice now?
12735	Are we going to try to catch the fellow this time?
12735	Are you all ready to be left behind in the spray tomorrow?
12735	Are you boys going to leave me,inquired Garwood,"or are you going to remain and thus show me that you are truly of my enemies?"
12735	Are you fellows any good on swimming distances?
12735	Are you going to stand for that?
12735	Are you going to win Wednesday''s game from the North Grammar, Dick?
12735	Are you ready?
12735	Are your folks so poor as that?
12735	Are your parents any easier on such questions?
12735	Arrested--- for what?
12735	At the Gideon Wells place, did you say? 12735 Back again?"
12735	Been out for a practice swim, have you?
12735	Blue? 12735 But I did n''t say_ when_ I''d tell you, did I?"
12735	But I wonder how our fellows tumbled to the idea of calling''bang''first, and then following it up with''ow- ow- ow''?
12735	But are n''t you fellows going after Teall and my clothes?
12735	But can you whip another crowd just because you want to?
12735	But how can we hold a school contest when we''re no longer enrolled in the school that we''re supposed to represent?
12735	But how did the explosive come to be in a building that belongs to the water company, and which is supposed not to have been occupied in some years?
12735	But say, do you think they could really make any trouble for me for using the whip over them?
12735	But sha n''t we try, for a while, to trail Garwood?
12735	But what happened to Rip and his mean crew?
12735	But what makes the stuff so explosive?
12735	But what''s the use of talking? 12735 But where are your clothes, Martin?"
12735	But why did n''t you fellows spring this on us earlier? 12735 But why has n''t the fire department been out here?"
12735	But would n''t there be more rest about it if we had a little fun?
12735	By the way,asked Len,"have you seen any of the new uniforms of the North Grammar?"
12735	C.G.?
12735	Can you deliver the book immediately, with a bill, to Mrs. Carhart, at the Gideon Wells place?
12735	Can you swim down to that old elm?
12735	Captain Martin, have you any choice?
12735	Captain Prescott?
12735	Centrals? 12735 Centrals?"
12735	Chlorate of potash, eh?
12735	Chlorate of potash?
12735	Clothes? 12735 Coming, Dave?"
12735	Dick, why ca n''t we get Old Dut to authorize us to represent Central Grammar within a day or two after graduation? 12735 Dick,"asked Greg seriously, when the three chums were by themselves,"have you any idea in the world that you can win out against Hi Martin?"
12735	Did n''t I, though? 12735 Did n''t you say that would put us away at the top in Grammar School baseball?"
12735	Did n''t you try to find me here?
12735	Did you enjoy your little trip?
12735	Did you get it?
12735	Did you know that dad has secured a license this year to sell fireworks at his store?
12735	Do for me, will you?
12735	Do n''t you think you''d look rather funny in court when it was known why I laid the whip over you?
12735	Do the manufacturers grind it between big millstones?
12735	Do we?
12735	Do you fellows think we had better leave a guard over our clothes?
12735	Do you mean to say that I tried to steal it?
12735	Do you really think so?
12735	Do you think that I''m not on the level?
12735	Do you want a suggestion, sir?
12735	Does n''t it look as though fresh earth had been sprinkled here?
12735	E- e- eh?
12735	Five minutes?
12735	Get away from you again?
12735	Get square with me for it?
12735	Gimme that yellow curl over your forehead? 12735 Give us the full six minutes, Greg, wo n''t you?"
12735	Glories of nature?
12735	Going to hit for the road now, Dick?
12735	Going to stop at one of the big hotels there?
12735	Had n''t we better be starting?
12735	Have n''t you any idea of reverence? 12735 Have you a copy of Moore''s Ballads?"
12735	Have you seen Dick?
12735	Have you two been regularly appointed as a committee?
12735	Having fun over me, are they?
12735	Hear the echo?
12735	Hi Martin sent you after his duds, I reckon?
12735	Hi Martin will know better, day after tomorrow, wo n''t he, Dave?
12735	Hi Martin''s crowd? 12735 How can I pay in advance when Ted Teall is a mile away from here with my--- my trousers and all?"
12735	How can you stop it?
12735	How did the thinking get on?
12735	How did they get such uniforms?
12735	How did you do it?
12735	How did you happen to come along on the wagon?
12735	How do I know?
12735	How do you feel now, Chromos?
12735	How long can you tread water?
12735	How so?
12735	How''s the water, fellows?
12735	How''s the water?
12735	How?
12735	Hungry?
12735	I have n''t let anything get by me, have I?
12735	I hope you do n''t think I did a mean thing like that?
12735	I suppose it was charity, too, when you gave our fellows the game, eh? 12735 I wonder if I''d better run away from home before I''m arrested?"
12735	I wonder if he saw me?
12735	I wonder if they could beat us, if we had another try?
12735	I wonder what he thinks he''s doing there?
12735	I wonder what the explosive could have been?
12735	I wonder where that valiant band of whites is, anyway?
12735	I wonder which way he went?
12735	I wonder?
12735	I''ll-----"Well?
12735	If I thought you meant that-----"Well?
12735	If that''s what you''re talking about, why did n''t you announce your subject earlier? 12735 If the Centrals are here yet, why do n''t they come out of the crowd and receive us?"
12735	If the ball ca n''t be thrown, then what on earth is it good for?
12735	If they do n''t find our trail, Dick, where are you headed for?
12735	If we win to- day will you agree to be on hand to light the fire?
12735	If you did n''t want to practice, what were you in such a hurry to get out of school for?
12735	Is Hi Martin, captain of the North Grammar nine, here?
12735	Is all the clothing in there yours?
12735	Is it as bad as that?
12735	Is it near your bedtime yet?
12735	Is it reverie?
12735	Is it the gayness of your uniforms? 12735 Is it?"
12735	Is n''t Dickins the queer old chap?
12735	Is that the best you can do?
12735	Is that the way you''re going to get out of the challenge that we''ve issued?
12735	Is that what you get in June by adding up the column of figures in the thermometer?
12735	Is that what you''re going to tell us?
12735	Is the South Grammar to be in this?
12735	Is the chlorate explosive, sir?
12735	Is there anyone inside who needs any help?
12735	Is there room for one other boy?
12735	Is this the book, in this package?
12735	Let me see; how many hundred million dollars did Old Dut tell us the annual corn crop brings in wealth to this country?
12735	Let''s get Prescott rattled?
12735	Loaded?
12735	Mr. Umpire,called Hi angrily,"have you power to preserve order here to- day?"
12735	My--- little--- trip?
12735	No uniforms at all?
12735	Now, what ought I to say to a crank like Darry?
12735	Now, will each young man oblige me by removing his coat and vest and stepping forward for the measurements that I want to take?
12735	Oh, my, do n''t the Little Boys Blue look sweet?
12735	Oh, you did, did you?
12735	On your honor, you wo n''t tell us what the man on the clubhouse steps said?
12735	One of us?
12735	Prescott, what do these letters mean on your jersey?
12735	Prescott, where art thou? 12735 Ready, Ted?
12735	Right into the camp of my enemies, I suppose? 12735 Room enough in the pond for another?"
12735	S- s- say, wh- what do you want?
12735	Safety- razors?
12735	Say, are n''t you feeling well?
12735	Say, can this possibly be any of Hi Martin''s work?
12735	Say, what do you make of that?
12735	See here, Teall, did you find my watch?
12735	See that group''way ahead there?
12735	See that low- hanging limb, and the bushes just beyond?
12735	Shall we try to find out the secret, fellows?
12735	Shovels?
12735	Sit down here, out of sight, and keep quiet, wo n''t you?
12735	So Ted Teall was around here, and you knew that he was going to take our clothing?
12735	So that boy spoiled us from getting a good slice of a fat reward, did he?
12735	So you are a thief, and at work?
12735	So you could buy the fanciest kinds of food, I suppose?
12735	So, being alone, he just naturally said-----"Well?
12735	So, then, the speech of the man on the clubhouse steps was n''t very important?
12735	Soldiers?
12735	Soldiers?
12735	Some one missing?
12735	Stings, does it?
12735	Supper?
12735	Suppose I did?
12735	Tastes immense, does n''t it, Dave?
12735	Teall is a torment, is n''t he?
12735	Ted, you wo n''t play any funny tricks on that pile of wood?
12735	Temperament? 12735 That the poor fellow is living or dead?
12735	The Centrals have n''t got rattled and skulked, have they?
12735	The Monday after Christmas?
12735	The bag was n''t open, was it?
12735	The crazy man?
12735	The echo says,''which one?''
12735	Then how do they get it into a powder, sir?
12735	Then the contest wo n''t be for the championship of Gridley, will it?
12735	Then what sort of a swimming contest do you propose?
12735	Then why did n''t you find it?
12735	Then why wo n''t you try a few?
12735	Then you lost it out of the pocket while running through the woods, did you?
12735	These Norths will bother you, too, wo n''t they, Ted?
12735	Thinking?
12735	This is where we saw the man fall, is n''t it?
12735	To find out who''ll be handy for the High School nine next year?
12735	To the right place?
12735	To- day or some other day?
12735	Too bad, is n''t it? 12735 Too fine?"
12735	Too proud?
12735	Tozier, what''s the High School delegation for?
12735	Two or three of us may as well slip inside, eh?
12735	Us? 12735 Want to come, Dave?"
12735	Want to know very badly?
12735	Was Hi much obliged when you gave him back his duds this afternoon?
12735	We came up here to see what we could find to do, did n''t we?
12735	Well, hang it, did n''t you keep us running all through the spring?
12735	Well, we do n''t need to skulk, do we?
12735	Well, which one of you is going to call?
12735	Well, why should n''t they run?
12735	Well, you''re going to tell us, anyway, are n''t you?
12735	Well?
12735	Well?
12735	Well?
12735	Wh--- wh--- what was it?
12735	What about that crazy man, anyway?
12735	What ails you Norths?
12735	What are they doing here?
12735	What are we going to tell folks about what we saw at the cottage?
12735	What are you all doing here?
12735	What are you going to do about the swimming race?
12735	What are you going to do with that thing?
12735	What are you going to tell the folks?
12735	What are your uniforms going to be like?
12735	What became of my clothes?
12735	What did I tell you?
12735	What did it look like?
12735	What did the man on the clubhouse steps say?
12735	What did you and Darry say, when the explosion came off?
12735	What did you put on the fire?
12735	What difference would it make?
12735	What do you mean?
12735	What do you say to that kind of stuff, Page?
12735	What do you say to that, Darrin?
12735	What do you say, then, if we all three rush him?
12735	What do you take me for?
12735	What do you think of this swimming challenge?
12735	What does the man look like?
12735	What fellow was it that started the yelling?
12735	What good did it do him to meddle in that fashion?
12735	What has got into Prescott?
12735	What has this to do with being fair?
12735	What is it?
12735	What is that?
12735	What kind of beard does the missing man wear?
12735	What of it?
12735	What shall we do with Martin, anyway?
12735	What shall we do with these imps?
12735	What was the man doing in there, for that matter?
12735	What''ll that stand for?
12735	What''ll we do with him?
12735	What''s all the excitement?
12735	What''s all the noise about?
12735	What''s that?
12735	What''s that?
12735	What''s the matter with choosing a committee of ten?
12735	What''s the matter with it?
12735	What''s the matter with you, Ted?
12735	What''s the matter?
12735	What''s the matter?
12735	What''s the use of a guard over our clothes?
12735	What''s the use?
12735	What''s your idea of fun?
12735	What, then?
12735	What?
12735	What?
12735	When do you youngsters play?
12735	When will that be?
12735	When will your committee be ready?
12735	Where are you going?
12735	Where in the mischief did they get those uniforms?
12735	Where is anybody''s clothes?
12735	Where is he?
12735	Where is he?
12735	Where is the missing man, Dick?
12735	Where''s Dick Prescott?
12735	Where''s Prescott now?
12735	Where?
12735	Which way did he go?
12735	Which way did he run?
12735	Who did it?
12735	Who did?
12735	Who was it that put up the job on us? 12735 Who''ll call the toss?"
12735	Who''s seen my duds?
12735	Why can we?
12735	Why did n''t you play yourself, then?
12735	Why do n''t you?
12735	Why do you stay here?
12735	Why not play''Indians and Whites''?
12735	Why not wait a year?
12735	Why not?
12735	Why should we?
12735	Why, how could people get up to their rooms on the fifteenth or eighteenth floor of one of the skyscraper hotels?
12735	Why?
12735	Why?
12735	Why?
12735	Will many of you be there?
12735	Win?
12735	With this ball?
12735	Wo n''t you come with us,pleaded Dick,"and get that arm of yours attended to?
12735	Yes, but what_ did_ he say--- the man on the clubhouse steps?
12735	Yet we did n''t all dream together, did we?
12735	Yet who cared?
12735	You are looking for your clothing, I imagine?
12735	You consider that sort of a joke humorous?
12735	You do n''t need me any more, do you, sir?
12735	You do n''t think I''d cheat, do you?
12735	You going to shake me like that? 12735 You idiot, what good would safety- razors be for getting people up twenty floors in a hotel?"
12735	You talked a lot about what you''d do with the nine--- and what have you done? 12735 You want to get the clothes?"
12735	You went all over the ground where you''d been?
12735	You will, eh?
12735	You wo n''t postpone telling us, and you wo n''t try to crawl out of it?
12735	You''re not going to try to sneak out of it that way, are you, Dick?
12735	You''re sure of winning, then, Teall?
12735	All ready, South Grammars?
12735	Am I right?"
12735	And now, why not run out and see if you can find your young friends?
12735	Are they a better nine than ours?"
12735	Are you afraid to meet us in the water?"
12735	Boys, what do you want to do with this pair?"
12735	But what could possibly be going on?
12735	Can I get a cab here?"
12735	Can we down the Souths?"
12735	Captain Prescott, do you claim any time for practice?"
12735	Chapter V NORTH GRAMMARS PLAY REAL BALL"Say, dress a kid up swell, and send him on the street--- did you ever know him to be any good?"
12735	Chapter VIII TWO RIVALS PLAN DIRE REVENGE"I wonder what Ted Teall will do after this when he wants to play rattles on the other side?"
12735	Chapter XXII HI HEARS SOMETHING ELEVATING"Do you fellows really want to know what the man on the clubhouse steps said?"
12735	Chapter XXIII WHO WON THE SWIMMING MATCHES?
12735	Did you hear it strike?
12735	Do n''t you, fellows?"
12735	Do you hear?"
12735	Do you remember that time when he went over and spoke to his fellows?"
12735	Have you boys any paper to show that you represent your school?"
12735	He turned to Ted to inquire:"You say that you looked faithfully for my watch until dark?"
12735	He waded ashore, looked about in some bewilderment, and then called over the water:"Say, fellows, just where was it that we left our clothes?"
12735	How does it taste?"
12735	How far is it from here?"
12735	I have been wondering if''Bang--- ow- ow''was what cost the Souths the game?"
12735	I wonder if I''ll be able to wear clothes like these when I''m earning my own money?"
12735	I wonder if folks will think I''m low enough down to steal a fellow''s watch?"
12735	I wonder what ailed him?"
12735	I wonder what it is that burns with such a sharp smell?"
12735	If he had had it, he would have worn a chain or a fob, and I did n''t see any, did you, fellows?"
12735	If we''ve meddled with your affairs you''ll pardon us, and let us pass on, wo n''t you?"
12735	Is n''t that a fine reason?"
12735	It did n''t work sideways or downward?"
12735	Jones?"
12735	Just as Ted picked up his bat a dozen boys squeaked:"What time is it?"
12735	Just look off through that line of trees, and see how the light breeze moves the tops in that field of young corn, and-----""Corn?"
12735	Like it?
12735	Mr. Johnson, what would happen if a fellow should hit a ball with his bat, and that ball was packed with chlorate of potash?"
12735	Oh, I wonder if there ever was as unlucky a fellow in the world before?"
12735	Oh, Master Prescott, do you feel able to go and get it for me?"
12735	Or, was he simply"putting it on,"in order to bolster up the courage of his players?
12735	Prescott, you remember Mr. Winthrop, who is acting for Colonel Garwood in trying to find the latter''s son?
12735	Say, what did you try to get into the race for?"
12735	Shall I throw you in a few real ones--- hard ones--- before we get at it in earnest?"
12735	That lying on your back and looking up at the sky is what you call reverie, is n''t it?"
12735	That was what you did to us, was it, Martin?"
12735	The North Grammar boys are the challengers, are they not?"
12735	There was a pause and silence, the latter broken by Danny Grin demanding impatiently:"Well, what did he say?"
12735	This was followed by:"Who stole my watch?"
12735	Tom, how do you and your fellow- porkers like this lay?"
12735	Tozier drew a coin from one of his pockets, exhibited it to the captains, and asked:"Who will call the toss?"
12735	Was the luck about to change?
12735	What did he mean?"
12735	What marvel had been worked?
12735	What on earth could have happened?
12735	What was their champion pitcher doing, to let Teall get away with his deliveries as easily as this?
12735	What will folks naturally think?
12735	What''ll you take for the letters on your shirt?"
12735	What''s that?"
12735	When we get on the field to play we''ll look like a lot of rag- pickers, wo n''t we?"
12735	When?"
12735	Where are you going?"
12735	Where did you see him?
12735	Who Won the Swimming Matches?
12735	Who are you, anyway?"
12735	Who has the arnica bottle?"
12735	Who helped Teall to do it?"
12735	Who''ll be your captain?"
12735	Who''s going back into the woods with me, if I take these clothes to Hi?"
12735	Why did n''t you?"
12735	You see this diploma?"
12735	Your clothing?"
12735	asked Harry Hazelton,"or just plain laziness that ails Dave?"
32044	A special train?
32044	Admitting that to be the case, what then?
32044	Ai n''t I trying my best?
32044	All fussed up, is n''t he?
32044	All? 32044 Am I in time?"
32044	And he''s gone? 32044 And leave me-- to miss the game?"
32044	And what part of the world do you come from?
32044	And you had an idea you would come East and make your fortune and come back and claim me?
32044	And you lost your temper and left?
32044	Any news?
32044	Any other reasons?
32044	Are you the Mr. Lawrence they call the Lumber King in Oregon?
32044	Ask her what?
32044	At your house?
32044	Aw, say, Ed, you would n''t cross a fellow like that?
32044	Both your clubs?
32044	But what could have happened?
32044	But, Larry, are n''t you going to quit all this foolishness and go back? 32044 Ca n''t you tell me where they were going, Kohinoor?"
32044	Can you tell me where that call for Mr. Williams came from just now? 32044 Criminal?
32044	Did he say where this was to take place?
32044	Did his''ittle tootsie wootsy treat him mean?
32044	Did n''t I tell you?
32044	Did n''t Kennedy come home either?
32044	Did n''t happen to see him over in town, did you?
32044	Did you desire all those people to know that I had acquaintances in that-- that class?
32044	Did you find out?
32044	Did you kick him on the shins and try to make him fight?
32044	Did you land him?
32044	Did you remember the little boy?
32044	Did you ring?
32044	Did you, for instance, observe anything strange about the hits in your direction?
32044	Do n''t you know yet that you must never take a girl at her word? 32044 Do you think he''s trying to throw games?
32044	Do you think you can fool anyone with that talk? 32044 Do you want me to let Clancy know who tipped it off that Carson''s leg was broken?
32044	Does it make any difference to you whether the Bears or the Panthers win?
32044	Does it make any difference?
32044	Done anything?
32044	Drinking?
32044	Earn your living?
32044	Either of them drinking?
32044	Engaged to Betty Tabor? 32044 Ever signed a professional contract?"
32044	From the day we met-- years ago?
32044	From the first-- the very first, dearest?
32044	Gimme a beer,ordered Swanson, throwing a coin onto the bar;"what you have, Ben?"
32044	Girl?
32044	Going after the mayor?
32044	Going to desert your old pal for a skirt so soon?
32044	Gone where?
32044	Had n''t you better rest? 32044 Has n''t McCarthy shown up?"
32044	Has n''t he arrived at the hotel?
32044	Have n''t you enough troubles of your own?
32044	He has disappeared---- Have n''t you seen the papers?
32044	He is n''t with the team?
32044	He left the house alone, did he?
32044	He was in love with her?
32044	He wo n''t hurt him, will he?
32044	Here, young feller,said the bartender,"where you goin''?"
32044	Hey, Adonis,he said in tones Manager Clancy could not fail to hear,"trying to take out your grouch on Kohinoor, eh?
32044	How are you going to get him?
32044	How did to- day''s game come out?
32044	How do you know he''s engaged?
32044	How do you know he''s square?
32044	How do you know these things?
32044	How do you propose finding him?
32044	How high?
32044	How is the pitching staff? 32044 How much downtown?"
32044	How much time have we?
32044	How you hittin''em? 32044 How''s things?"
32044	How? 32044 I do n''t want you to tell on any ball player-- but who were you with?"
32044	I got anxious waiting for him---- You''re sure he left your house that long ago?
32044	I know you-- you''ve been leading my nephew into all sorts of wild scrapes, disgracing the family----"You Kohinoor''s uncle?"
32044	I wonder what that crook is doing out here?
32044	I wonder who Clancy will send in to pitch to- day?
32044	I wonder who that fat man is?
32044	I''ve got to thank her, have n''t I?
32044	Is he hurt?
32044	Is he in it, too?
32044	Is he in this thing, too?
32044	Is my friend, Mr. McCarthy, there?
32044	Is she pretty?
32044	Is she pretty?
32044	Is that all?
32044	Is this Miss Baldwin speaking?
32044	It''s merely in the line of square dealing and justice-- and, speaking of justice, McCarthy, did you ever take interest in the Children''s Crusades? 32044 Kirkland?"
32044	Kohinoor down yet?
32044	Larry, you young scoundrel, what did you mean by running away from your old uncle?
32044	Let him alone, is it?
32044	McCarthy, eh?
32044	Me have troubles?
32044	Miss Tabor,he pleaded eagerly,"please do not think I do not want to go"----"Did I hint such a thing?"
32044	Mr. Feehan, what are you doing here?
32044	Mr. McCarthy,he said seriously,"did you observe anything strange in to- day''s game?"
32044	No wine?
32044	No-- seen Swanson?
32044	Nothin'', eh? 32044 Nothing stronger?"
32044	Now, what can he be doing over here?
32044	Of all the gall-- where do you think that fellow McCarthy was?
32044	Orders from whom?
32044	Playing ball?
32044	Rather odd, is n''t it, a woman traveling with a lot of tough ball players?
32044	Say, did he spring a line of talk like that on you? 32044 Say,"said Norton,"seen Kennedy?"
32044	Seen Kohinoor?
32044	Send him right up,he said, and as the boy turned he said to himself:"Now, what the dickens does that fellow want with me?"
32044	Shall I ask him to invite you to come with us? 32044 She?"
32044	Smatter, Bo?
32044	So you prefer that red- headed prison bird to me?
32044	So you''re the fellow who has been making that kind of talk? 32044 Sure he is n''t trying to cross us?"
32044	Sure of that?
32044	Sure you can trust her?
32044	Sure you''ll not be fining the poor boy? 32044 Take you downtown, sir?"
32044	Taxi, sir, taxi?
32044	That fellow did n''t do it all by himself, did he?
32044	That sneak been tattling and crying for help, eh?
32044	That you, Joe?
32044	That''s his game, is it? 32044 That''s why you want me to leave the team, is it?
32044	The next time you''re in there you lose the game right-- you hear? 32044 Then Barney Baldwin ordered you to telephone for me to come here?"
32044	Then I do n''t work to- day?
32044	Then Larry is rich?
32044	Then Williams is in fine form?
32044	Then he has n''t eloped with that blond niece of that crook, Baldwin?
32044	Then how do you propose having it done?
32044	Then she told you who I am?
32044	Then there''s Uncle Barney----"What has Barney Baldwin to do with it?"
32044	Then you are? 32044 Then you chose to cut me deliberately?"
32044	Then you know her?
32044	Then you''ve heard this story before?
32044	Then your name is n''t James Lawrence?
32044	Think any sane guy would quit a pretty girl to spend an evening with you?
32044	Trying to toss off this one?
32044	Two minutes-- can we make it?
32044	Well, Willie-- who has broken a leg or sprung a Charlie horse now?
32044	Well, what did he do?
32044	Well, what of it?
32044	Well?
32044	Well?
32044	Were you in the café of the Metropolis Hotel late?
32044	What are they?
32044	What are you figuring, Ken?
32044	What are you going to do, Bill?
32044	What are you going to do?
32044	What are you going to do?
32044	What are you going to do?
32044	What brings you East? 32044 What brings you down?"
32044	What brings you out here, Ed?
32044	What can I do for you?
32044	What charge?
32044	What did he tell you?
32044	What did he want with you?
32044	What did she say, Silent?
32044	What do you mean?
32044	What do you think of it?
32044	What do you think of my gamecock, Bill?
32044	What do you think of that kid, Slats?
32044	What do you think of that?
32044	What do you think?
32044	What do you want me to do?
32044	What do you want out of it?
32044	What does it mean, Silent?
32044	What have you been doing all night?
32044	What is it, Boss?
32044	What is it, Silent?
32044	What is it? 32044 What is it?"
32044	What is the matter, Helen?
32044	What is up?
32044	What is your home town?
32044	What makes you think that?
32044	What red- head?
32044	What started Adonis after you this morning?
32044	What time is it?
32044	What was it?
32044	What was you trying to do, Silent?
32044	What''ll we call him?
32044	What''ll we do?
32044	What''s all this fuss about some skate?
32044	What''s that bird got?
32044	What''s the matter with Adonis?
32044	What''s the matter-- is anything wrong?
32044	What''s the woe?
32044	What''s your theory, Technicalities?
32044	What, another?
32044	What-- what do you mean?
32044	What? 32044 What?"
32044	When shall I move the gold mine?
32044	Where are my clothes?
32044	Where are we? 32044 Where are you going, child?"
32044	Where did Clancy find him, Tech?
32044	Where did he go? 32044 Where did you learn my name, sweetheart?"
32044	Where do you think we are?
32044	Where has he gone?
32044	Where have you been?
32044	Where is he?
32044	Where were they?
32044	Where''d you get him?
32044	Where''s that young scoundrel who calls himself McCarthy?
32044	Where-- who?
32044	Where?
32044	Which game do I work, Bill?
32044	Which one is it this time, Willie?
32044	Which one?
32044	Who appointed you boss?
32044	Who are you? 32044 Who dealt you a hand?"
32044	Who do you propose pitching to- day and to- morrow?
32044	Who is he?
32044	Who is he?
32044	Who is it?
32044	Who is she?
32044	Who is she?
32044	Who is that red- head practicing at third?
32044	Who were you with?
32044	Who''s going to pitch to- day?
32044	Who''s talking fight?
32044	Who''s the woman?
32044	Who-- who''s been telling you this stuff?
32044	Whom do you expect him to meet?
32044	Why are n''t you with the team, or did you just get in to honor me with this early call?
32044	Why are you here? 32044 Why did n''t you ask who his friend is?"
32044	Why did n''t you tell me before?
32044	Why did you do it?
32044	Why do n''t you sue him for divorce if he neglects you?
32044	Why do they suspect a man just because he refuses to tell them all his private affairs?
32044	Why do you think my name is n''t McCarthy?
32044	Why is it you are ashamed of your home and play under another name, boy?
32044	Why is n''t McCarthy in the game?
32044	Why not-- don''t both clubs belong to me?
32044	Why should n''t I be?
32044	Why should n''t he be?
32044	Why so cruel to the relics of departed generations of ball players?
32044	Why?
32044	Why?
32044	Will you pitch him to- day or to- morrow?
32044	Williams?
32044	With him eliminated it ought to be easy, had n''t it?
32044	Wonder what time it is?
32044	Would n''t I? 32044 Years ago?"
32044	Yes-- where were you last night?
32044	Yes-- who and what is he?
32044	Yes-- you, Jack? 32044 You are Miss Tabor?"
32044	You are Williams, are you not?
32044	You are not going to quit, Silent?
32044	You found out what it means for me to quit?
32044	You have n''t broken with your Uncle Jim, have you?
32044	You have n''t cornered McCarthy yet?
32044	You have no proof----"Have n''t I?
32044	You have?
32044	You heard what we talked about?
32044	You his boy? 32044 You know anything about him?"
32044	You know who he is?
32044	You may ask me anything you want to about myself or my actions-- but you surely do n''t expect me to tell on anyone else?
32044	You own the Bears?
32044	You think Mr. Williams did n''t want to win the game?
32044	You want me to throw the championship?
32044	You want me to throw the pennant race?
32044	You wanted to see me?
32044	You wanted to see me?
32044	You wo n''t do anything to me if I win?
32044	You----"You did n''t know me?"
32044	You''ll take him yourself?
32044	You''ll telephone me the moment you have news?
32044	You''re McCarthy, the fellow my niece, Miss Baldwin, introduced me to, are n''t you?
32044	You''re McCarthy, the new third baseman, eh?
32044	You''re pretty strong with Captain Raferty, of the North Nineteenth Street police, are n''t you?
32044	You''re sure he got out of the house? 32044 You''re what?"
32044	Your ball players?
32044	And with a sigh he picked up his scattered sheets and muttered:"Let''s see, what did this fellow Houseman hit last season?"
32044	Are you a friend of his?"
32044	Are you game to stand what the crowd will do to you to- day, Kohinoor?"
32044	Are you seeking notoriety?"
32044	Baseball is the only thing they taught me at college that I''m good at, and when I read that you needed a third baseman I"----"College man, eh?"
32044	Bears.......... 89 59.600 Panthers....... 91 61.599"Well, ai n''t we ahead of them?"
32044	Busher?
32044	But was n''t that a-- what do you call it-- a corker?"
32044	By the way, who is working to- day?"
32044	CONTENTS CHAPTER I. PANTHERS OR BEARS?
32044	Ca n''t it wait?
32044	Can you arrange at your hotel to have a fast taxi to take him to the railroad station when he gets out, if there is a chance to catch the train?"
32044	Can you play?"
32044	Clancy?"
32044	D''ye hear?"
32044	Did n''t I always say thirteen was an unlucky number?"
32044	Did you hit.332 or.318?
32044	Did you see him hit?"
32044	Do n''t let him reach the hotel if I''m late-- you understand?"
32044	Do n''t you know a hero has to stand on his pedestal all day and smile?
32044	Do you think I could live with you eighteen years, come next Martinmas, and not know when you''re in trouble?
32044	Do you want me to tell him you got$ 500 for tipping it to that Panther bunch of gamblers?"
32044	Do you want to get yourself in bad by some fool notion of protecting me?
32044	Does it make much difference, just these few more games?"
32044	Does it not seem remarkable?"
32044	Edwards did not seem to observe the extended hand, but turned coldly to the case and said:"Have a cigar?"
32044	Had Clancy tricked the Blues and produced his third baseman at the dramatic instant, hoping to unnerve them?
32044	Had McCarthy been hurt?
32044	Had a good season?"
32044	Had n''t we better put mattresses under Clancy''s window for Williams to light on?"
32044	Half an hour passed, then, as he turned in bed, a sleepy voice from the next bed asked:"Asleep, Kohinoor?"
32044	Has anyone been in?"
32044	Has he been trying to bluff you?
32044	Has something happened to him?"
32044	Have n''t I worked my head off to win for your team?"
32044	Have you been through this country before?"
32044	Have you looked at the papers?"
32044	Helen never seemed to feel anything or to understand a fellow, and I''m sure Betty-- Betty?
32044	Hoskins, eh?
32044	How are things to- day?"
32044	How are you?
32044	How did you find it out?"
32044	How did you know I did n''t want to use my own name?"
32044	How does it seem to be the uncle of a hero?"
32044	How far did the plot to beat the Bears out of the pennant extend?
32044	How many were in it?
32044	How much of the Bears and Panthers do you own?"
32044	How''s tricks?"
32044	I did n''t think they''d dare tell others"----"Them?"
32044	I thought you cared then; you do care for me, do n''t you?"
32044	Is baseball such a disgraceful business ye are ashamed to use your name?"
32044	Is n''t he here?"
32044	Is n''t it enough?
32044	Is the bartender a friend of yours?"
32044	Is there anything I can do?"
32044	Lawrence?"
32044	Marry her?
32044	Marry?
32044	McCarthy?"
32044	Nothin''?
32044	Nothing, and you swingin''your bat like you was stirrin''apple butter?
32044	Perhaps you can tell me where to find him?"
32044	Perhaps you think I''ll let go of all that money and not fight?
32044	See him?"
32044	See that big fellow, yelling his head off, there?
32044	Shall I say it again?"
32044	Team all right?"
32044	That stiff?"
32044	The pitcher started, then rallied and said:"What have you got it in for me about?
32044	They got him?
32044	To- night?
32044	Understand?"
32044	Well, what have you to suggest, Mr. Baldwin?
32044	What I wanted to find out is who is this fellow Barney Baldwin?"
32044	What are you doing?"
32044	What brings you over here?"
32044	What did you do that for?"
32044	What happened?"
32044	What has that to do with it?"
32044	What have you got it in for me for?"
32044	What more do you want?"
32044	What new prank is this?
32044	What''s wrong now, Willie?"
32044	What?
32044	What?
32044	When?"
32044	Where did they get it?
32044	Where did you ever play ball?"
32044	Where do you hear that kind of talk?"
32044	Where is he?"
32044	Where?
32044	Where?
32044	Where?
32044	Which one of the boys shall I ask to go with us?"
32044	Who are they, Jack?"
32044	Who is looking for him while we waste time?"
32044	Who is the captain?"
32044	Who is this?
32044	Who wants him?
32044	Who''s that young bird the Rabbits are warming up?
32044	Whose mule kicked you?"
32044	Why did n''t you call?"
32044	Why did n''t you tell me you could sing?
32044	Why did n''t you write to me?"
32044	Why do you accept his money?"
32044	Why should Betty Tabor think enough of him to be jealous?
32044	Will he play?"
32044	Will you fight?"
32044	Williams?"
32044	Yes, you are; you must be the little boy who was crying in the train?
32044	Yes-- that you, Jimmy?"
32044	You are Miss Helen Baldwin; you desired to see me?"
32044	You are n''t stopping anywhere else, are you?"
32044	You get me?"
32044	You have?
32044	You little squarehead, why did n''t you tell him I was with you?
32044	You understand?"
32044	You wanted to see me?"
32044	You went out with Williams when we came in last night, did n''t you?"
32044	You were engaged to him, were you not?"
32044	You will believe that, will you not?"
32044	You will, huh?"
32044	You''ll go to please me, wo n''t you?"
32044	[ Illustration: Baldwin stared at the slender youth]"You Jim Lawrence''s nephew?"
13898	Adventure? 13898 All here?"
13898	And did you see Tim Lally get that one?
13898	And wo n''t he have a good time?
13898	And you swallowed that?
13898	Angry, Don?
13898	Any trouble with Tim?
13898	Anything wrong, Bobbie?
13898	Are we the only fellows here?
13898	Are you going to Danger Mountain?
13898	Are you sick?
13898	Arm tired?
13898	But can we do it? 13898 But suppose a patrol finds the treasure, what then?"
13898	But when a fellow tells about other things--"Could you stop this scout from doing something dangerous if you told?
13898	Ca n''t a fellow have a little fun? 13898 Ca n''t the patrol leader keep order?"
13898	Care to start now?
13898	Could we try the walls again?
13898	Cut what out?
13898	Did I do anything to you?
13898	Did n''t I tell you?
13898	Did n''t he say anything?
13898	Did n''t you hear me say twelve sharp?
13898	Did you hear the latest? 13898 Did you see Ted Carter make that catch?"
13898	Did you see Tim roughing Bobbie all afternoon?
13898	Did you tell him? 13898 Did you tell him?"
13898	Do n''t you think I''m good enough?
13898	Do n''t you want me to play tomorrow?
13898	Do you think I would n''t know an e?
13898	Do you think he votes for his opponent?
13898	Do you think_ they''ll_ sit around in the dark? 13898 Does he know it''s dangerous?"
13898	Does n''t he know any better than to pay attention to a kid like Bobbie?
13898	Does n''t he?
13898	Does n''t look like Lonesome Woods now, does it?
13898	Does that look as though I''m stringing you? 13898 Don,"Barbara said,"do n''t you think he''s all right at heart if he does acts like that?"
13898	Don,said Mr. Strong,"do you remember when you learned to pitch an outcurve?"
13898	Down in the mouth?
13898	Each two scouts by themselves?
13898	Everything all right? 13898 Feels better, does n''t it?"
13898	Fire?
13898	For patrol leader?
13898	For the love of Mike, Tim, why did you do that?
13898	Get back for what?
13898	Getting ready for the signal contest, Tim?
13898	Going my way?
13898	Got enough?
13898	Got your scout whistle?
13898	Have you a wrench? 13898 Have you and Tim been scrapping?"
13898	Hiking tomorrow?
13898	How about Monday?
13898	How about Tim?
13898	How about a man who runs for president of the United States?
13898	How about another session Friday?
13898	How about eats, Tim?
13898	How about making camp? 13898 How about one whistle if everything''s all right?"
13898	How about some practice in the woods this afternoon, Tim?
13898	How about starting?
13898	How about you and Andy and Bobbie practicing a couple of times before Friday?
13898	How about you, Bobbie?
13898	How about you?
13898	How do you know Phil Morris is moving?
13898	How do you know what Mr. Wall expected? 13898 How do you know?"
13898	How do you know?
13898	How do you know?
13898	How do you like it?
13898	How does a fellow get to be a better scout?
13898	How does it look?
13898	How does it look?
13898	How far apart will they put us in the woods?
13898	How is he on the ball field; all right?
13898	How is that for a good turn?
13898	How is that going to hit our signaling chances?
13898	How long?
13898	How many of you scouts told Mr. Wall you were going on this trip?
13898	How much wire must each patrol have out?
13898	How will they know which way we went?
13898	How will we find it again?
13898	How''s everything, Tim?
13898	How''s mine?
13898	How''s the water?
13898	Hungry?
13898	Hurting him?
13898	I did right to go to him, did n''t I, dad?
13898	I guess we''ll tame that roughneck, what?
13898	I said I was going to show the fellows, did n''t I? 13898 If I get it,"he said in a low voice,"will you stand by me if I get stuck?
13898	If a scout knows that some other scout is going to do something-- something dangerous, maybe-- is it blabbing if he tells?
13898	If he liked practicing here at first-- He did like it, did n''t he?
13898	If he practiced a couple of times this week--"How are you going to get him to practice?
13898	If we practice once or twice every week--"Once or twice?
13898	If you thought Mr. Wall would have no objection to a Danger Mountain hike, why did you wait until you got him out of the village?
13898	If you worked with him and let him do things his own way would n''t he get over his grouch?
13898	If you''re sore about what Ritter said--"Me sore? 13898 Is Mr. Wall away today, Don?
13898	Is he home? 13898 Is it carrying tales?"
13898	Is it worrying you?
13898	Is n''t that Tim down the road-- that fellow leaning against the fence?
13898	Is n''t that splendid?
13898	Is that fair, Tim?
13898	Is that your idea of being a scout?
13898	Is there anything I could try, dad, to stop him? 13898 It_ is_ lonesome in here, is n''t it?"
13898	Just like telling me,''See, why did n''t you camp when I said so?''
13898	Just quit, eh?
13898	Look here, Tim,he said;"what''s the use of stewing around this way?
13898	Look here,he said sharply;"why did you pick me?"
13898	Monday or Tuesday?
13898	More trouble with Tim?
13898	Must I work with Tim?
13898	Must we watch out for Eagles and Wolves even before we get to the treasure?
13898	Needles and thread and shoe- brushes?
13898	No, but-- What''s the use of tormenting Bobbie?
13898	No?
13898	Not scouts?
13898	Remember last winter when Mr. Blair was sick?
13898	Say, Ted, any chance for me to get back?
13898	Say, how is Tim going? 13898 Say,"Rood called,"what''s that?"
13898	Scared?
13898	Scout meeting tonight?
13898	Scouting is n''t all fun, is it?
13898	Seen Tim yet?
13898	Shall I tell him about Wednesday?
13898	Signaling contest next month,Don told him,"Were you there when Mr. Wall made the announcement?"
13898	So that''s the game, is it?
13898	Suppose they find it out there, Tim, and do n''t see the canteen?
13898	Suppose they start to search right around here?
13898	Suppose they yell, too?
13898	Sure; but he is n''t sensitive about his patrol, is he?
13898	That means a new patrol leader, does n''t it?
13898	That would get him, would n''t it?
13898	That''s a crack at me, is n''t it?
13898	The Wolf patrol will surely win points in the signaling, wo n''t it?
13898	The mountain?
13898	Then there''s nothing left to worry about, is there?
13898	They seemed to hit everything today, Tim, did n''t they?
13898	Think Don''ll catch him?
13898	Think that could be it?
13898	Think we can stick in the lead?
13898	Think you can get anybody to play any better for you than I play?
13898	Think you''re going to like it?
13898	Tim would n''t make a good patrol leader, would he, Don?
13898	Try to get fresh with the kid pitcher, eh?
13898	Want more?
13898	Want to go to the woods tomorrow?
13898	Was Tim chased?
13898	Was Tim elected?
13898	Was it wrong for Don to vote for himself?
13898	Was n''t it the turn of your patrol to clean house?
13898	Was n''t it, Tim?
13898	Was that right, Don?
13898	We''re close now, are n''t we?
13898	Well, how about the signaling?
13898	Well, if you know it, what''s the use of paying any attention to him? 13898 Well, what does it look like?"
13898	Well, what more do you want?
13898	Well, what of it?
13898	Well, why did n''t you answer?
13898	Well, wo n''t he?
13898	Well,he demanded of Ritter angrily,"what are you looking at me for?
13898	Well,said Ted,"they are n''t giant- killers, are they?"
13898	Well,she asked,"what''s the scout trouble now?"
13898	Well,the Scoutmaster smiled,"how''s the new patrol leader?"
13898	Were you fellows hiding behind that brush?
13898	What are you doing around here on a Monday?
13898	What are you doing,Tim demanded,"asking me to let up on him or telling me?"
13898	What became of the Eagles?
13898	What big stuff?
13898	What did I tell you about this game?
13898	What did he say?
13898	What did you go cat- acting for?
13898	What do you mean by that?
13898	What good does it do to be sorry now?
13898	What is it this time?
13898	What kind of a game is this?
13898	What kind of good turns?
13898	What kind of meat have you?
13898	What other patrol has anything on us?
13898	What team do you pitch against tomorrow?
13898	What would Mr. Wall think of you? 13898 What''s Don rushing off for?"
13898	What''s that?
13898	What''s the first order I get; practice tomorrow?
13898	What''s the matter back there?
13898	What''s the matter with Tim, anyway? 13898 What''s the matter with me?"
13898	What''s the matter with you?
13898	What''s the matter, Don?
13898	What''s the matter; did Tim want to be patrol leader?
13898	What''s the matter?
13898	What''s the meaning of this?
13898	What''s the use of me slicking up,Tim scowled,"if other fellows are going to do as they please?"
13898	What''s what?
13898	What''s wrong, Tim?
13898	What''s wrong?
13898	What, sir?
13898	What, toward them?
13898	When do you think I was born-- yesterday? 13898 When do you want to practice?"
13898	When shall we go into the woods for that signaling?
13898	When was that?
13898	Where do you leave Don Strong?
13898	Where have you been keeping yourself, Tim?
13898	Where''s Tim now?
13898	Where''s the other haversack? 13898 Where-- where are you going to get another catcher?"
13898	Which do you want to do, send or receive?
13898	Who did?
13898	Who found the cup?
13898	Who made a boob of you?
13898	Who says so?
13898	Who told you about the cup?
13898	Who was the star cook?
13898	Who''ll carry the ax?
13898	Who''ll work with me on Morse?
13898	Who''s doing something dangerous?
13898	Who''s there?
13898	Why ca n''t we do the mountain?
13898	Why did you wait until he went away for the day and then sneak off on this hike?
13898	Why do n''t you shift-- you and Tim do the Morse instead of Tim and Alex?
13898	Why does n''t he wait until somebody blames him?
13898	Why is n''t it?
13898	Why not?
13898	Why should n''t he think it?
13898	Why so many sober faces? 13898 Why will Tim be so headstrong?"
13898	Why wo n''t they think we dropped the haversacks while heading the other way?
13898	Why, Tim, I-- I-- I--"Well, how about it?
13898	Will I?
13898	Will he think that?
13898	Will that be all right for you, Tim?
13898	Will trails cross?
13898	Would n''t it be fine for a scout to leave his patrol leader in the lurch? 13898 You are?"
13898	You know that Tim is a harum- scarum, do n''t you?
13898	You will, will you?
13898	You''re not fooling me, Ted?
13898	_ I_ had three mistakes?
13898	A voice cried,"How about Lonesome Woods?"
13898	After a moment she asked:"How about good turns, Don?
13898	After all, what had he gained?
13898	Alex looked at him sharply, and the look said as plainly as words,"Going to make him toe the mark?"
13898	All at once a voice whispered to him,"How could Don practice?
13898	And having gone back, why had he not told Tim, bluntly and plainly, that he would have to let Bobbie alone?
13898	And yet was it fair for him to keep silent?
13898	And yet, if Tim insisted, what was he to do?
13898	And yet--"Going to get needles and thread and things?"
13898	Andy''s voice sounded in his ear:"Did you vote for me?"
13898	Are you the keeper of the whole patrol?"
13898	As a patrol leader, what should he do?
13898	Ask_ him_ to do extra work?
13898	At the first rest, while the red- haired boy poured water over the ankle bandages, Don said:"You''ve heard about the new patrol, have n''t you?"
13898	Besides, would n''t it be fine experience to pitch against stronger batters?
13898	Bobbie nodded,"Any from our patrol?"
13898	Bobbie rattled on;"are n''t you glad Don is going to show you how to do things?"
13898	But as for his companions--"What fellows are with him?"
13898	But what could Tim expect if he was going to antagonize everybody?
13898	But what could he do if a scout made up his mind to stay away from meetings and be nasty?
13898	But you could ask the fellows, could n''t you?"
13898	Ca n''t I even say what I''d like?"
13898	Ca n''t you imagine what he''ll tell you?"
13898	Coming my way?"
13898	Could I see him right away?"
13898	Could this be rough- and- tumble Tim?
13898	Did Mr. Wall know?
13898	Did Mr. Wall suspect something and intend to question him?
13898	Did he tell you?"
13898	Did n''t I show up for practice today?"
13898	Did the old- time scouts like Daniel Boone go running for help every time they found themselves in trouble?"
13898	Did you hear about Phil Morris?"
13898	Do you pull?"
13898	Do you think I''d send an e for a v?"
13898	Do you think he''d do a stunt like that now?"
13898	Do you understand?"
13898	Does Tim do any?"
13898	Don caught his bold, sidelong glance-- a glance that seemed to say,"Well, what are you going to do about it?"
13898	Everybody understand?"
13898	Funny, is n''t it?"
13898	Got your staves?
13898	Had Andy been signaling to him?
13898	Had something been going on over there?
13898	Had they been afraid in the woods?
13898	Had they seen the Foxes?
13898	Has Don got him working?"
13898	He wanted to do what was best-- for Tim, for himself, for the patrol-- but what was best?
13898	He was disappointed, but what was the use of jumping on a scout who was trying to do right?
13898	Hear me?"
13898	Honest?"
13898	How about Don being to blame for not answering the signal?
13898	How about it, Don?"
13898	How about you and Alex Davidson taking Morse?"
13898	How could he hide it?"
13898	How did Tim act a couple of months ago whenever anything displeased him?"
13898	How did he know whether I made any mistakes?"
13898	How did you find the going?"
13898	How did you get the votes if you did n''t ask for them?
13898	How does that look?"
13898	How far did you go?"
13898	How much wire would be needed?
13898	How should the wire be measured?
13898	How would it be now on the day of the real thing?
13898	I''d be a fine scout to run away, would n''t I?"
13898	If there was some hidden reason for switching him from Alex, it should show itself now, should n''t it?
13898	If we can get them off on a false scent-- Where are they?"
13898	Is he going on the hike?"
13898	Is he going to grouch just because he was n''t elected patrol leader?
13898	Is n''t he a scout?"
13898	Is n''t that right, Tim?"
13898	Is n''t that rubbing it in?"
13898	Is n''t that swell?"
13898	Is that clear?"
13898	Is there anything I can do for you?"
13898	Just one more trial?"
13898	Just to be watched?
13898	Next week?
13898	Now, how about you fellows?"
13898	Of course, this was going to be all kinds of fun, but-- but-- Well, Lonesome Woods was Lonesome Woods, was n''t it?
13898	Or suppose he walked out sullen and grumbling, and stayed away from the meeting or came late or came untidy-- and the Wolves lost points?
13898	Or suppose he went, glad to be relieved of his share of the job?
13898	Ready?
13898	Remember?"
13898	See that opening?
13898	So long as Tim was losing his scrappiness, what was the use of fussing over him?
13898	Something whispered to him,"Why did n''t you work hard before?
13898	Suppose Tim got hot- headed and would n''t go?
13898	Suppose anybody was near?
13898	Take a scout message for me?"
13898	The time he had ruined Andy''s fire Mr. Wall had said,"What do you think a scout should do-- the square thing?"
13898	Then, after a moment:"Is n''t Tim your catcher on the town team?"
13898	There were no questions of,"Did you go to your patrol leader, Tim?"
13898	Three votes for him?
13898	Understand?"
13898	Use their heads?
13898	Wait until I tack on this screening, will you?"
13898	Wall?"
13898	Wall?"
13898	Want Mr. Wall to put us out?"
13898	Want to ride in with me, Don?"
13898	Was Tim going to act like that all summer?
13898	Was he always going to be the fellow who made his patrol lose?
13898	Was he getting stage fright?
13898	Was it best to let Tim run on in the hope that he''d be shamed into a better spirit by the other scouts?
13898	Was it fair to those scouts who had labored with a will?
13898	Was n''t he Tim Lally, the fellow who always spoiled things?
13898	Was n''t it hard to catch up?
13898	Was that a noise?
13898	Was that the way to handle this hot- tempered scout-- humor him a bit, praise him a little, give him the important assignments?
13898	Was there any scrap?"
13898	Was there much more?"
13898	Was this a joke?
13898	We''ve lost the points, have n''t we?"
13898	Were the buttons all right?
13898	Were they never going to get out?
13898	What are you going to do?"
13898	What chance would they have for the Scoutmaster''s Cup?
13898	What did Don mean by jumping on him?
13898	What did five points amount to, if their loss would make Tim a better scout?
13898	What did he say?"
13898	What did that mean?
13898	What did you bring, Charlie?"
13898	What did you want to leave the pail there for?"
13898	What do you think you should do-- the square thing?"
13898	What does that look like?"
13898	What had become of the haversacks and blankets?
13898	What new trick was this, anyway?
13898	What should he do-- the square thing?
13898	What should he do?
13898	What should he do?
13898	What should he take along to cook at noon?
13898	What sort of patrol leader would he be to let two of his scouts break faith with the Scoutmaster and not fight to the very last to bring them back?
13898	What strange adventures would befall them?
13898	What was the matter?
13898	What was the use of his spoiling his own fun?
13898	What was the use of letting the other patrols prepare for the unexpected and doing nothing yourself?
13898	What was there that had to be hidden?
13898	What was wrong?
13898	What would Don say to him now?
13898	What would happen then?
13898	What would they find?
13898	What''s the matter with the Foxes?"
13898	What''s the matter with you, Tim?"
13898	What''s the matter, you look worried?"
13898	What''s the matter?"
13898	When he brought them away Don spoke quickly:"How about telegraphy, sir?"
13898	When that happens--""Yes, sir?"
13898	When would they go?
13898	Where had they found the cup?
13898	Which can you do best, Tim?"
13898	Which way?
13898	Who ever heard of a night camp and no fire?"
13898	Why ca n''t we all pull together?"
13898	Why could n''t Tim stick to his patrol and play fair, and not spoil all the fun?
13898	Why could n''t he be told the truth?
13898	Why did Andy tap like that-- two taps, pause, another tap-- over and over again?
13898	Why did Phil Morris have to move away?
13898	Why did he shift me here?
13898	Why did n''t he let me stay with Alex?
13898	Why did n''t he try at the other meetings and cut out his fooling?"
13898	Why did n''t we bring a trowel?"
13898	Why did n''t you tell me the paint was wet?
13898	Why had he gone back that time?
13898	Why had n''t he made sure of those buttons instead of taking a chance?
13898	Why should I get sore?
13898	Why should he worry when he had done the best he could?
13898	Why should it take six days to discover that b and p sounded almost the same?
13898	Why would n''t the batters hurry?
13898	Why, he wondered, did Tim seem to take such a delight in going against everybody else?
13898	Why?"
13898	Why_ had_ he been shifted?
13898	Would Tim come spick and span?
13898	Would he go too fast or too slow?
13898	Would he never come out from behind the tree?
13898	Would he?"
13898	Would n''t it be fine if all scouts were as keen and as alert as that?
13898	Would the ball break true?
13898	Would they obey?
13898	Would this broad- shouldered young man who stood so confidently at the plate hammer it a mile?
13898	Would you call that failure?"
13898	Would you prefer to talk this over?"
13898	You were worried, were n''t you?"
13898	but was n''t this fun?
13898	called a voice,"how are you Wolves going to manage about Alex Davidson?
13898	could n''t some fellows ever learn to hold their tongues?
13898	cried the assistant patrol leader;"was n''t that a corking game?
13898	do you want the Eagles and Foxes coming down and gobbling us?"
13898	he said,"what''s the use?
13898	was n''t that a hot one?
13898	was this-- was this real?
13898	what are you laughing at?"
13898	what did you bring to cook?
13898	when would the bugle blow?
