28769	He accosted the man who looked up from a desk with:"Want a boy?"
28769	Helen interrupted:"Looking for Mr. Who?
28769	How about your part, O''Reilly?"
28769	How could he get to the boy''s mother without being observed?
28769	How long will you be gone?"
28769	I guess you and I have met both Dean and Helen, have n''t we?
28769	Is it really you?
28769	Is this your regular stand?"
28769	It''s a man''s job, what, then, could a boy do?"
28769	Jack, dear, whoever said that God did not weave our lives?
28769	LAMMIE WANTS TO LEARN"Can you do tricks on a pumpkin, the way I can?"
28769	News, Post, American, Staats- Zeitung?"
28769	Now, I suppose you are even more anxious to know what it is all about?"
28769	Perhaps we can both go up home together, eh?"
28769	See?
28769	Strong?"
28769	Suppose they got on to----?"
28769	Tell me, is he from a family of wealth?"
28769	That is correct, is it not?"
28769	Then, in a voice so low Strong could barely hear him, he inquired,"Are you pretty well tied?
28769	Thought you went''way out West?"
28769	To go into the building and take chances?
28769	To miss this meeting, which perhaps was important; to go there, on the other hand, and endanger the chances of his getting to that night meeting?
28769	What are you here for?
28769	What do you say?"
28769	What is the other business?"
28769	What time is Captain Knabe coming?"
28769	When do you expect to write home?"
28769	When do you want to return to Wayland, Ted?"
28769	Where can we change?"
28769	Who should have known him better than his own wife?
28769	Will you, Mr. Schmidt, explain the call for this meeting?"
28769	Will you, Mr. Smythe, telegraph to Toronto, and tell the chief just what has been done?"
28769	Would he be able to carry out the plans?
28769	You know her, do n''t you?
28769	You leave at four on Saturday afternoon?
28769	You will all be here?
26875	And meantime no one can use it?
26875	And where anyone who wanted to could keep tabs on him pretty well, eh? 26875 And you''re going to let us look out for them?"
26875	Are n''t you afraid the fire may spread this way?
26875	But where''s Tom Binns?
26875	Coming, Pete and Chris?
26875	Could you smell it as far as this?
26875	Do many trains pass here that do n''t stop?
26875	Do n''t the fires start other ways, too?
26875	Do n''t you think I can see through your game, eh?
26875	Do you really think they did that?
26875	Do you remember the night we got to the lake, and Jim Burroughs and Miss Benton were lost in the woods?
26875	Do you think they''ll try to put the place on the bum, sir?
26875	Does n''t anyone live in it?
26875	Gee, Dick,said Pete,"that makes us like a couple of sure enough detectives, do n''t it?"
26875	Gee, Jack, I wonder if we''ll ever get to be Patrol Leaders and Scout- Masters?
26875	Gee, Jack,he said,"who''d ever guess that a sweet girl like that would have such an old curmudgeon of a father?
26875	Gee,said Pete,"I thought that fire we helped to stop near the city was big enough, but this beats it all hollow, does n''t it, Jack?"
26875	Gosh, but they do n''t look like the crowd that we see coming to work every morning, do they, Jack? 26875 Have n''t you got a gun, Hank?"
26875	He is n''t a Scout, is he?
26875	Hey, Carrots,he cried,"ai n''t you afraid of settin''yourself on fire?"
26875	Hey, Tom,said one of the men, gruffly, looking at his watch,"got them tied?
26875	How about the others?
26875	How about when a fire just starts? 26875 How can we do that, Jack?"
26875	How do those fires in the woods start, Jack?
26875	How far away is the fire, Jim?
26875	How will we know when we''ve gone seven miles?
26875	How''s your arm, Jack?
26875	How, Dick? 26875 I never said you did, did I?"
26875	I wonder how that new pitcher the Raccoons have will do?
26875	I wonder if that young whelp''s shammin'', or if we really knocked him out with the dope?
26875	I wonder if there were only three of them?
26875	In the big house in the woods there, you mean?
26875	Is n''t there any way to prevent that?
26875	Is that so, Pete?
26875	Is there any danger of the fire coming this way, Jim?
26875	Is there anyone we know in the pictures, Captain?
26875	Is there no duplicate?
26875	It''s been a mighty dry summer, has n''t it, Jack?
26875	It''s lucky for these farmers that Mr. Durland knows a fire when he sees it, is n''t it, Jack? 26875 It''s you, is it, you young whelp?"
26875	Let''s do it, Jack, shall we?
26875	Looks bad, does n''t it?
26875	Molly, who are these people?
26875	Money? 26875 Mr. Durland says have you warned men working in the fields?"
26875	Risk? 26875 Say, Jack, if fellows make that hike alone, who''s going to tell whether they really did it or not?
26875	Say, would n''t it be fine to live in a place where you can go swimming all the year round, like Florida, or California, or some place like that?
26875	She''s all right, is n''t she, Jack? 26875 Shovels, is it?
26875	Sleepy, Pete?
26875	Sure the tie will throw her off the rails?
26875	Tain''t no consarn of your''n, be it?
26875	That is n''t a storm, is it, coming along?
26875	That''s pretty dangerous, is n''t it?
26875	The one they say is haunted?
26875	Then why should they have told her they could find me, if it really is I she''s looking for?
26875	They ca n''t see us if we keep in the shadow, can they, Jack?
26875	They have a fire patrol in some places, do n''t they?
26875	They''ll be expecting us up at the Bentons, wo n''t they, Jack?
26875	They''ll grow again, wo n''t they, Jack?
26875	Think you can learn me my business?
26875	This is almost as good as being in the militia, is n''t it, Jack?
26875	Tom Binns and Pete Stubbs are devoted to him, are n''t they, Dick?
26875	Want any help, Jack?
26875	Watching us, Pete? 26875 Well, what do you want?
26875	What do you mean, Captain?
26875	What have you done with him? 26875 What next?"
26875	What of it, Tom? 26875 What will we do with these shovels when we get them?"
26875	What would happen if you did n''t?
26875	What would you advise, Jack?
26875	What''s he trying to do now?
26875	What''s it like over there, Jack?
26875	What''s the matter with Hudson? 26875 What''s the next station below this?"
26875	What''s the time, Bo?
26875	What''s the trouble here?
26875	What''s wrong, Pete?
26875	Where are you, honey?
26875	Where shall we go, Jack?
26875	Where''s Silas?
26875	Who gave you leave to dig your ditch here?
26875	Whose land is this, Jack?
26875	Why do they call that Bald Mountain, I wonder?
26875	Why does n''t Hudson answer?
26875	Why not, Tom? 26875 Why, how could a ghost hurt you, Tom?
26875	You did n''t strain it yesterday, did you, digging that ditch?
26875	You mean I might be the one they were looking for, Dick?
26875	You mean they might make an attempt at a rescue?
26875	You remember Jim, the fellow that is engaged to Miss Benton, up at Eagle Lake?
26875	You talk to all of them, I guess, do n''t you?
26875	You think that Scout Danby is entitled to his badge, then?
26875	Your friends have n''t gone off without their clothes?
26875	Ai n''t everythin''we do risky?
26875	Ai n''t those his clothes there?"
26875	And a fine chance we''d have of ever seeing them ag''in if we let you have them, would n''t we?
26875	And why does this fellow Broom, if that is really his name, have to hear this?
26875	And you did n''t think I''d leave you alone here, or to go home alone, did you?
26875	Be ready to slam it shut as soon as you hear me coming, will you?"
26875	But wo n''t you come to see us, and perhaps you will be able to help us in our search?"
26875	CHAPTER VI THE ATTACK ON THE STATION"What time does the Thunderbolt go through?"
26875	Ca n''t you see that we''ve saved your farm?"
26875	Can you not tell us what you know of his movements?"
26875	Coming along all right with them?"
26875	Do n''t you see?"
26875	Do n''t you think so?"
26875	Do n''t you think you could follow his example, and trust us?"
26875	Do you like it?"
26875	Do you suppose these people can be mixed up with that scoundrel?
26875	Do you think you can keep a sharp enough lookout to be able to spot those fellows when they come in?"
26875	Do you?"
26875	Get''em, and bring''em here, will you?"
26875	How about your other qualifications?
26875	Hurt, there, sonny?"
26875	I can start working for it as soon as I''m a First- Class Scout, ca n''t I?"
26875	I think we''ll have to see if we ca n''t help him solve that mystery, do n''t you?"
26875	If they do n''t, they''ll all be in jail anyhow, wo n''t they, Captain Haskin?"
26875	Is that Broom?
26875	Is that the one you dragged ashore, Jack?"
26875	It seems silly, does n''t it?
26875	Look at the time-- it''s the middle of the afternoon, is n''t it?
26875	Now the question is what to do to prevent them from doing anything else?"
26875	Now why does anyone want to know about you?
26875	Now, how about you, boys?
26875	Say, that''ll be a great joke on Ed Willis and those other toughs he''s got on his side, wo n''t it?"
26875	Say, this is a confused affair, is n''t it?"
26875	See that rock up there, that sticks out from the side of the mountain?
26875	See?"
26875	Sure you feel well enough, though?
26875	That happens sometimes, does n''t it?"
26875	That''s where you came from, is n''t it?"
26875	The man who carried him off from the camp was entirely willing to kill him-- planned to do so, did n''t he?"
26875	They call them forest rangers, do n''t they?"
26875	They take all the water there is when the rain falls and keep it for the dry weather, do n''t they, like a camel?"
26875	Want to go swimming with us, Tom?"
26875	We can do it, too, ca n''t we?"
26875	What do you make of that?"
26875	What do you say?
26875	What do you think we''d better do?"
26875	What do you want?"
26875	What''ll you do?"
26875	Where are they now?"
26875	Who are you, I''d like to know?"
26875	Why do n''t you make a long hike and go up there?
26875	Why not wait him out and make him pitch over the plate?"
26875	Why should anyone do that?"
26875	You are looking for a boy, are you not?"
26875	You are not related to them, are you?"
26875	You know that pretty girl, that Miss Burton, who was on the burning launch?
26875	You would n''t like never to see the snow, or to be in a place where it never froze and made ice for skating, would you?"
26875	Your father will meet you there, I suppose, wo n''t he?"
16544	And now you are going back toward our lines?
16544	And the German uniform?
16544	And why were those people attacking you?
16544	Are you really my cousin? 16544 Are you sure of your facts?"
16544	But how are you going to hear from him here?
16544	But how did you get one?
16544	But how was Boris rescued?
16544	But it''s not just the time to slow down, is it?
16544	But the Germans?
16544	But was this person you rescued so-- chivalrously-- an Englishman?
16544	But what are you doing here? 16544 But what were you doing in the car, then?
16544	But why must you stay, Ivan?
16544	Ca n''t you go after him?
16544	Can you catch them?
16544	Can you walk?
16544	Did General Suvaroff get back safely after he failed to catch General von Hindenburg?
16544	Do n''t you see the white flag?
16544	Do you know me?
16544	Do you know what charge was made against you?
16544	Do you think I''m going to leave you here?
16544	Do you want the exact location of the house used as headquarters? 16544 Even after the way Mikail treated you?
16544	Even though it is Prince Suvaroff''s country, too?
16544	Feel better? 16544 Fred Waring-- an American?"
16544	Go? 16544 Have n''t you proved what sort you are, when you risked your life to try to help me to get away at the parsonage?
16544	Have you brought the parts for the wireless?
16544	He commanded at Plevna, against the Turks?
16544	How are we to make him understand that?
16544	How did the old fox know we were coming?
16544	How did you happen to come to my aid in such a fashion? 16544 How do you mean?
16544	How far are you going to take me?
16544	How often do they come in here?
16544	How?
16544	I suppose it is on account of Servia, though?
16544	I-- is it possible? 16544 If that aeroplane saw you coming, general,"he said,"is n''t there danger that they may try to surround you here?"
16544	If you are an American and honest, why are you going there?
16544	In war who can tell? 16544 Is it Ivan?"
16544	Is it safe for you to leave the house?
16544	Is that all?
16544	Marching east or west?
16544	May I really go now?
16544	Not hurt, eh, comrade?
16544	Now who are you?
16544	See, is n''t he the German to the life as he goes, there? 16544 So you are a Russian?
16544	So-- it is you?
16544	So?
16544	Spies, you think?
16544	Tell me, what have they done to you?
16544	The Czar himself?
16544	Then if there are so few as that, wo n''t we advance?
16544	Then when they had won here, they could have used their railway to move troops southward?
16544	They would n''t waste much time on him if they caught him, would they?
16544	Von Hindenburg? 16544 War''s rather ghastly, is n''t it, Boris?"
16544	We''re all right here, are n''t we?
16544	Well, what have you to say?
16544	What about the car?
16544	What defence have you, spy?
16544	What shall I do?
16544	What will happen here if they do take the men away?
16544	What? 16544 Where are you going, I say?
16544	Where are you going?
16544	Where is he, Boris?
16544	Where will you take me, Herr Hauptmann?
16544	Who are you, and where do you come from?
16544	Who are you? 16544 Who''s there?"
16544	Why should two of us suffer when one can escape?
16544	Wonder how long he''s good for?
16544	Yes, and do you know why? 16544 Yes-- but how-- why--?"
16544	Yet now you will forget all that, will you not?
16544	You are American?
16544	You are sure of what you have learned? 16544 You are sure you are not English?"
16544	You can ride?
16544	You do not know? 16544 You know of the raid last night?"
16544	You mean they might attack the house?
16544	You see this boy?
16544	You speak German?
16544	You will allow my men to make a search? 16544 And is he not between the devil and the deep blue sea? 16544 And tell him from me that I should esteem it an honor if we should meet in the field?
16544	Are n''t you English, then?"
16544	Are n''t you going to stay?"
16544	Are you really my cousin?"
16544	But if I return, I shall come through the cellar-- you understand?
16544	But now he only asked, quite idly:"Who is in command of the troops here?"
16544	But will you be safe yourself?
16544	But you-- what brought you out?"
16544	Can you stand a little more pain?
16544	Had something happened?
16544	Had the door closed automatically?
16544	Have you always planned for something like this?"
16544	Have you heard of him?"
16544	How can we lose now?"
16544	How is that?
16544	I should like to know if it will be possible for me to return soon to Russia?"
16544	I thought you were to rejoin our own army?"
16544	I will start at once?"
16544	If it is safe for you to go back into Russia, will you stand by me?
16544	If you reach Berlin, your ambassador will be able to help you, yes?"
16544	If you see your father soon, however, will you give him my compliments?
16544	If you would permit me to drop behind and come in alone-- it is not so far now?"
16544	Is it possible?"
16544	Is it your pleasure that I should deliver them to you?"
16544	Is there any message I can deliver for you?"
16544	It is a pity that such good friends and neighbors as we have all been must be enemies, is it not?
16544	None of the officers of the court- martial escaped, did they?"
16544	Now will you tell me what all this means?"
16544	Now?
16544	Or would you rather take your chance of going home through Germany?
16544	Ought n''t you to come with me, Boris?"
16544	Say, Boris, what am I to do?
16544	Shall you go back through the tunnel?"
16544	Tell me, is there anyone who can speak for you?
16544	There will be no more than two army corps in this region?"
16544	There''s nothing in what happened there to interest Germany, is there?"
16544	Understood?"
16544	Unless, indeed, you can tell me now?"
16544	Well, what are you going to do with me now?"
16544	Were they hurt?"
16544	What do you think I can do, when you land me in a strange country in the middle of the night, without a kopeck in my pocket?
16544	What do you think we''d better do, Boris?"
16544	What''s this?"
16544	Where are the two officers who were in the car?
16544	Where are you going?"
16544	Where were they going?"
16544	Who were those officers?
16544	Why can I not go to Gumbinnen?"
16544	Why did he behave so, though I suppose you may not know?"
16544	Why not try the great house on the hill?
16544	Will you excuse me if I write some instructions for Vladimir, who will be in charge after I go?
16544	Wo n''t they think it strange for us to be going full speed toward the Russian lines this way?"
16544	Would it not be well to have some way of sending word from here?
16544	You believe that, do n''t you?"
16544	You have the splints?
16544	You heard that General von Hindenburg got away?"
16544	You know all about that, Vladimir?"
16544	You were in the car with them, were n''t you?"
16544	You will take me away?"
16544	You''re a Russian, are n''t you?"
16544	Your mother is well off, even without her own property, is n''t she?"
36838	Ai n''t that a pilot hanging to the old basket?
36838	Ai n''t this just too grand for anything?
36838	All here?
36838	And after talking it over, you decided that the wisest thing to be done was to make your way to camp, and throw the responsibility on my shoulders?
36838	And look at Ted waving his hand, will you?
36838	And now, Ginger, can you point out to me just the spot where your strange friend vanished?
36838	And so you set out to reach camp as fast as you could?
36838	And the thing just stood there, and waved at you, did it?
36838	And then that girl, Little Lou-- think of her doing all the cooking for the family ever since her mother was taken away?
36838	As what?
36838	But how about Hickory Ridge, sir; I suppose it''s still on the map?
36838	But surely two sensible chaps like you and Oscar would n''t think of such a thing as that?
36838	But what makes you think it was Satan? 36838 But why do you say that; what proof have you it was not some sort of man, Ginger?"
36838	But you do n''t think that last, honest now, Elmer?
36838	But, by the way, where was it you thought you saw this wonderful thing which you say bore no shape that you could describe?
36838	Did she happen to have a white face, Elmer?
36838	Did you happen to mention the fact that we believed we had his runaway monkey up here as a neighbor, sir?
36838	Did you hear any sound?
36838	Did you see anything move?
36838	Do n''t seem possible, does it, that a balloon could sail that far?
36838	Do you know that little story about the kid who ran away from home, and what an eternity it seemed to him?
36838	Do you mean just now you saw something?
36838	Do you mean to say he walked erect, on two legs?
36838	Do you think you can lead us back there, in case we make up our minds to go to- night after supper?
36838	Does it hurt you_ very_ much, Red?
36838	Get on to the girl, would you?
36838	H''m, what was it, by the way, you_ thought_ you saw, Number Four?
36838	Has something happened again to disturb you?
36838	Here, what''s the matter with you, Ginger?
36838	How about a monkey?
36838	How about telling the boys, sir?
36838	How about the first flash-- did it go off when the monk pulled the trigger, Mark?
36838	How does your thprain feel; think you can thtand it?
36838	I wonder did any of the others happen to see them?
36838	IWHAT was it this time, Number Six?
36838	IWHAT''S the matter with you boys?
36838	In what way, my boy?
36838	Is that so?
36838	It did n''t give you a shock, I warrant, Elmer?
36838	Last night, I presume, since you would have spoken before, had it happened yesterday?
36838	Look here, Number Six, are you sure now that you were n''t asleep, and just dreaming that something bobbed up in front of you?
36838	Meaning that we did not have the pleasure of a second visit from Diablo, the educated monkey, is that it?
36838	Nothing doing, I guess?
36838	Now you talk as though it_ must_ have been a man-- perhaps a wild man who may have been living in these woods for years?
36838	On what grounds?
36838	Say,he said to Red, who happened to be sprawled out near him,"did you ever in all your days see such a splendid place as that for a starter?
36838	See here, Ginger, have you kept a black bottle hidden away all this time while we have been in camp?
36838	Shall I go now, sir?
36838	Suppose you tell us what it was, then?
36838	Sure it was n''t that owl again, are you?
36838	Take me along, wo n''t you?
36838	That was mighty fine of you, Mr. Garrabrant, and did you see my folks, sir?
36838	The same gentleman who owned the lost monkey?
36838	Then I was right in my surmise, and you_ have_ run across something out of the common, boys?
36838	Then you found a trail, did you?
36838	Then you recognize some of the landmarks?
36838	Think I''m itching to have the laugh on me? 36838 Think the trigger will run smooth enough?"
36838	Three cheers for our scout master, fellows; ai n''t he all to the good, though?
36838	Was he carrying that package of biscuit when you saw him first?
36838	Was it a flaming red ghost, Number Four?
36838	Was it a man or an animal?
36838	Well, did the other sentry see anything, Charles?
36838	What ails the fellow?
36838	What are we to try to- day, sir?
36838	What gone?
36838	What happened, Elmer?
36838	What is it?
36838	What is it?
36838	What''s that Ginger''s yelling?
36838	What''s that-- healthy?
36838	What''s that?
36838	Where on earth could it have come from?
36838	Where was this at, Oscar?
36838	Where was this?
36838	Where''s Chatz?
36838	Who came in on Abe-- was it animals you meant, or men?
36838	Why do you say''he''when you mention the rattler, Elmer?
36838	Why, who else did you think it could be, Beaver, Number Four?
36838	Will you go over, thir, and try to do thomething?
36838	Wonder if the other fellows made as quick a getdown as we did?
36838	You and Jack are bound over the side of the mountain to visit the Abe Morris family, I heard?
36838	You ca n''t very well discover what there is n''t, can you? 36838 You mean about that monkey business, I suppose?"
36838	You think then we are due for another visit from Diablo, say to- night?
36838	You wish to speak with me, Charles, I imagine?
36838	All O. K. is it?
36838	Am I correct, Elmer?"
36838	Am it gone foh suah?"
36838	And besides, were they not headed for_ home_, with all that that implied in their enthusiastic boyish hearts?
36838	And then besides--""Yes, what else was there?"
36838	Boys, ai n''t it near time to call us to the fray?
36838	But as everything has been done to a turn, do n''t you think we''d better hunt out our blankets?
36838	But we must be nearly back at camp, I should judge, Elmer?
36838	But what can we do with the critter, now that we''ve got him?"
36838	But what had he better do about it, Elmer?"
36838	But whatever could have become of her crew?"
36838	CHAPTER V. WHAT WAS IT?
36838	Could it be possible that there was anything in this wild yarn of Chatz''s?
36838	Do you see anything there, fellows?"
36838	Do you want to step inside this loop, and give it a try, Mark?"
36838	Garrabrant?"
36838	Garrabrant?"
36838	Garrabrant?"
36838	Great guns; just listen to the racket he''s making, will you?
36838	Had the brave pilot and his assistant been thrown out in some storm which they were endeavoring to ride out?
36838	How about the rest of the tent, Elmer?"
36838	How d''ye suppose he came to pick this out, Elmer?"
36838	How did you happen on it?"
36838	How is it, do you plead guilty to the charge?"
36838	I guess that''s going some for a new organization of tenderfeet scouts, eh?"
36838	I guess this is what they call putting your foot in it, eh, Elmer?"
36838	I know what you think about it, but when I see a thing I ca n''t deny it, can I?
36838	I see now; your heart''s just set on doing good to others, ai n''t it?
36838	I suppose Colonel Hitchens would be very glad to have the beast back, if it turns out that this is Diablo?"
36838	In other words, Charles, your pet ghost?"
36838	Listen to me, Ginger, and try to remember; did he say anything to you?"
36838	Mistah Grabant, am dat youse?"
36838	Mr. Garrabrant, how could such an animal get up here?
36838	Perhaps it was only some wandering hobo who thought he saw a good chance to steal something to eat?"
36838	Ready to work it, Elmer?"
36838	Shall I go away, and let him have an interview, sir?"
36838	Ted, you know lots of things-- can''t you tell me how to make hot air?"
36838	Think how my dad''s eyes would bulge out, fellows, when I landed right in his dooryard, and asked how ma was?
36838	This way, boys, please; I want to ask if either of you in the course of your wanderings happened to run across Oscar Huggins and Larry Billings?
36838	Was that a rude cot?
36838	Well, how about you, Oscar; did you happen to catch a glimpse of Ginger''s uninvited guest?"
36838	What ails you, Charlie; what happened to start you running?"
36838	What can have happened to them now?"
36838	What d''ye suppose I''m going to do for a thubject, if this awful drought keepth on?
36838	What happened to him?"
36838	What ought we to do, fellows?
36838	What was she bending over?
36838	What?"
36838	Where''s your pride, Larry?
36838	Wot youse t''ink we''s gwine tuh do up hyah in dis neck ob de woods, hey?
36838	Would the second sentry be able to throw any light on the mystery?
36838	You will come, wo n''t you?"
36838	Yum, yum, say, do n''t they just smell fine, though?
36838	a third had the temerity to remark, when Toby turned upon him instantly, saying:"Say, you do n''t read the papers, do you?
36838	are we ever going to get up there?"
36838	it''s you, sir, is it?"
36838	look at the balloon, would you, fellows?
36838	then this creature talked to you in Greek, or possibly Hebrew, did he?
36838	what if he happens to run across one of those ghosts he''s always talking about?"
36838	what''s that moving, away up on that other hill, Elmer?"
36838	whatever can that be?"
18952	A bird make a screechy sound like that?
18952	Ai n''t we a nobby looking bunch of scouts now, though?
18952	And I do n''t suppose now, you''ve missed any valuables, have you, sir?
18952	And it was all there then, you say?
18952	And they come back again in the night to roost there; is that it, Paul?
18952	And we''d hate the worst kind to disappoint our friends and folks, would n''t we, fellers?
18952	Are they good to eat?
18952	Are we gettin''near where Jo lives?
18952	But can you tell where that bunch is coming from, and where bound?
18952	But see where the bally old thing''s heading, will you?
18952	But she keeps agettin''darker right along, Paul?
18952	But what''s that to us, fellers?
18952	But you admit then that you_ have_ done such a thing?
18952	But you''ve yet to know whether that milk is as rich as you hoped?
18952	Ca n''t we hit it up a little faster, Paul?
18952	Can they be eaten at all, Paul?
18952	Can you get a pointer on to what it all means?
18952	Could n''t a been one of the cows taken to smoking, I suppose?
18952	Could we be useful if we did manage to trot over there, Paul?
18952	Could we help you in any way, Mr. Rollins? 18952 Did he stay here over night with you?"
18952	Did n''t I hear something about our having to register at a lot of places along the way?
18952	Did you ever hear of such rotten luck, now?
18952	Did you hear it?
18952	Do n''t hear any answer, do you, fellers?
18952	Do n''t you think we must be nearly in the heart of the old bog, Paul? 18952 Do we all have to go, Paul, or are you going to let several of us tramp along to Beverly?"
18952	Do we make a bee line for that quarter, Paul?
18952	Do you know of anybody who would do such a terrible thing; that is, have you any enemy that you know of, sir?
18952	Give''em a toot from your bugle, and see what they think?
18952	Had n''t we better be moving on?
18952	Have we got enough grub along to last out?
18952	Have you any idea that the fire could have been the work of tramps?
18952	Here, who''s carrying that rope right now?
18952	How about it, Paul?
18952	How about that one over yonder?
18952	How about that, Paul?
18952	How about the prospect of getting through there?
18952	How about you, Noodles; d''ye think you''re good for such a tough walk?
18952	How about you, Noodles?
18952	How did the fire start, sir?
18952	How do you make out, sir?
18952	How far away does it lie, dy''e think, Paul?
18952	How far must I haf dropped if dot pully oldt khaki cloth gives vay?
18952	How?
18952	However do you think I can fill up all this space here with just one ration? 18952 I hope you do n''t think I did that on purpose, Noodles?"
18952	Is Jo your hired man?
18952	Just put a pin in that, to remember it, Paul, wo n''t you?
18952	Let''s sneak up to the window, and peek in?
18952	Listen, Fritz,added Jotham,"see that little enclosure just back of where she stands?
18952	Look at the old cow, would you?
18952	Look over yonder, will you?
18952	Looks like I''m clean busted, do n''t it?
18952	Mebbe a blast from my horn would reach him?
18952	Now, Mr. Rollins, please tell me what it all means?
18952	Now, why could n''t the old thing have dipped low enough right here for us to grab that trailing rope?
18952	P''raps my tin cash box?
18952	P''raps when they know what happened, the committee''ll be willing to give us a chance to make another try next week?
18952	Paul, do you think that can be a man hanging there?
18952	Perhaps, when you lighted your pipe you may have thrown the match away, and it fell in the hay?
18952	Put I do n''t want to be owned py any girl as I knows; so what differences does idt make, dell me?
18952	Say, how about it?
18952	Say, perhaps we might grab hold of some trailing rope, and bring the old thing down?
18952	See what?
18952	Solid ground, you mean, eh?
18952	Suppose you try it, eh? 18952 Sure Seth, and what''s that to a husky lot of Boy Scouts, who''ve been through the mill, and wear merit badges all around?
18952	That was Jo,muttered Mr. Rollins,"I seen his face plain as anything; but why would he be coming from the direction of town, instead of my place?"
18952	The Beaver Patrol luck right in the start; did n''t I say nothing could hold out against that?
18952	Then please follow directly after me; and Seth, you fall in behind Mr. Anderson, will you?
18952	Then we''re going to start right away to try and find the middle of Black Water Swamps-- is that the idea, Paul?
18952	Then you do n''t know?
18952	Then you''ve noticed such a tree, have you?
18952	Then you''ve thought of some one who might have known that you had three thousand dollars under your roof, is that it, sir?
18952	Think I c''n lasso a bucking broncho? 18952 Was Jo working near the house then, can you remember, sir?"
18952	We''ll show''em how we''ve climbed up out of the tenderfoot class; hey, boys?
18952	Well, did you ever hear the beat of that, maw?
18952	Well, do we make that start for home and mother and supper right now; or are we going to stay here till she gets plumb dark?
18952	Well, we had our wish answered on the spot, did n''t we?
18952	Well, what is it?
18952	What d''ye mean, Paul, by sayin''that?
18952	What is it, Jotham?
18952	What might that be, Seth?
18952	What say, shall we go, fellows?
18952	What''s that about alligators?
18952	What''s that?
18952	What, you do n''t mean to tell me that you are something of a doctor as well as a leader of scouts?
18952	What?
18952	When was the last time you went up there to look at it?
18952	Wherever do you suppose he came from, Paul?
18952	Which spot, Paul?
18952	Will it land near here, d''ye think, Paul?
18952	Yes, and Paul, please let us know just how much further you expect to coax the leg weary bunch on today? 18952 Yes, go on; a week ago, you say?"
18952	Yes, tell us what the scheme is?
18952	You said as how you''d got all the stock out safe, did n''t you, Mr. Rollins? 18952 You seem to have a lot of money all of a sudden, Jo?"
18952	Your money, I suppose you mean?
18952	Ai n''t scouts got a right to live off the country as they hike through,''specially if they pay for what they take?"
18952	Ai n''t you tried to buy it off me more''n a few times?
18952	And Paul, had n''t we better be trying our luck some more now?
18952	And about that Thatcher place, Jo, we''ll easy make terms, because nobody ai n''t going to have it but you and your maw, hear that?"
18952	And he wants us to report that the_ Great Republic_ is down; Anderson, he said his name was, did n''t he, Paul?"
18952	And looking back we have a right to feel a little proud of the record we''ve made, eh, fellers?"
18952	Anderson?"
18952	Anybody else feel milk thirsty?
18952	But I do n''t believe it could have been a human being, do you, Paul?"
18952	But if a piece of the bally old balloon fell right here, Paul, do n''t that tell us the wreck must a passed over where we''re standing now?"
18952	But if not a cat, what was making that angry snarling?
18952	But this will kill his old mother; however could he do it?
18952	CHAPTER III THE GENTLE COW"Paul, how do we hold out for the third day on the hike?"
18952	CHAPTER VII INNOCENT OR GUILTY?
18952	CHAPTER XII WHERE NO FOOT HAS EVER TROD"Now whatever do you suppose made that racket?"
18952	CHAPTER XIII THE OASIS IN THE SWAMP"Was that another fish- eating bird like a crane, Paul?"
18952	Did you stop long enough to see?"
18952	Do you remember comin''outdoors on that night for anything, sir?"
18952	Do you want to go to town, while the rest of us are searching the swamps for the aeronaut, Eben?"
18952	Guess we have to follow one of these crazy little hummocks that run criss- cross through the place, eh, Frank?"
18952	How about it, fellows?"
18952	How about that, Jo?"
18952	How about that, boys?"
18952	How would three thousand sound to you, Jo?
18952	How wouldt you feel if you rescued der argonaut, and lose your chump; dell me dot?
18952	However did you know it, sir?"
18952	In the drawer, you mean?
18952	Is that about the figure now, tell me?"
18952	Jo, my boy, my boy, what does he mean by saying that?"
18952	Let me be, wo n''t you?
18952	Louis?"
18952	Paul, what had we ought to do?
18952	Paul?"
18952	Petter luck nexdt time, hey?"
18952	Queer coincidence I''d call it now, would n''t you?"
18952	Rollins?"
18952	Rollins?"
18952	Say, Paul, did you know about this camp site before; because it''s the dandiest place we''ve struck on the big hike?"
18952	Scoutmaster?"
18952	See here, if I tied a nickel or a dime in a piece of paper, and attached it to her horn, would n''t that be all right, Paul?
18952	See here, sir, can you ever remember walking in your sleep?"
18952	Subbose I want to make some squash pie down on der rocks?"
18952	That''s plain, sir, ai n''t it?"
18952	Wait here a minute, will you, please?"
18952	Was Jo Davies, then, such a silly fellow as this?
18952	Was the unfortunate aeronaut slowly bleeding to death, lying there amidst the bushes on that tongue of land?
18952	What did I do?
18952	What if he''s gone and broke his neck?"
18952	Whatever d''ye think could a set the fire agoin''?
18952	Why, it''s only a measly little twenty- five miles per day, and what d''ye think?"
18952	Will we try for that last mile, boys?
18952	Would the farmer find his missing wad snugly secreted in the old Dutch oven, as Paul so confidently suggested?
18952	You moost some fun pe making when you say dot, Paul?"
18952	a real and true balloon?"
18952	ai n''t that boys shouting?"
18952	bellowed Noodles;"do we whoop her up, Paul?"
18952	come off, Andy, you do n''t really mean that, do you?"
18952	did you ever see such a flock of the old caw- caws?"
18952	do you really think so, my boy?"
18952	look at all the crows flying over, would you?"
18952	look at that, would you?"
18952	that_ would_ be a joke on us now, would n''t it, if we made our way all over this beastly place, when there was n''t any aeronaut to help?
18952	what d''ye think of that now; ai n''t she gone and done it though?"
18952	what is that?"
18952	what sort of help can reach him there?"
18952	what''s that big thing rising up behind the tops of the trees over there?"
18952	what''s the use of hurrying?"
18952	why do n''t you gif me a handt?"
18952	you do n''t say?"
37167	ABOUT time to begin business, do n''t you think, Mark?
37167	Ai n''t gettin''cold feet, I hope, so soon?
37167	Ai n''t you going to find a hollow tree somewhere, and climb in? 37167 And I understand that several good fellows have applied for membership in our troop?"
37167	And do any of you still have any doubt about who it was hiding away on that rotten old shelf up there, and listening to all we did?
37167	And has it got a red button fastened in front just over the peak?
37167	And if we''d only been able to come up with him, would n''t he have got it?
37167	And the lightning wo n''t strike this log, either, will it?
37167	And you believe that was our old enemy, Matt Tubbs?
37167	Are you hurt bad, Matt?
37167	Because she was getting worn out, do you think, Elmer?
37167	But even if we do, wo n''t they follow after us, and try to get the girl back again?
37167	But how about matches-- Larry forgot to bring any, and I lost mine?
37167	But how about you, Larry?
37167	But how are we to know which way he went?
37167	But how d''ye know I ai n''t got my death in that wreck of my barn? 37167 But how do you know it was a raccoon?"
37167	But if you''re soaked through to the skin, wo n''t the matches be done for?
37167	But say, Elmer, did n''t you tell Red something about letting us know what the men were doing? 37167 But that wo n''t make any difference, will it, because she happens to be some relation to Matt?"
37167	But what ails the two of ye? 37167 But what in the wide world can we just do to keep dry?"
37167	But what is it, then?
37167	But whatever made him hide here?
37167	But who''d be comin''away up here,''cept they wanted tuh git us? 37167 But, Matt, there is another reason?"
37167	But-- yuh ai n''t agoin''tuh clear out an''leave us?
37167	D''ye mean to tell us, Matt, you''ve been dodging after us right along, and none of us saw you?
37167	D''ye really an''truly reckon that''s what it be, Dolph?
37167	DID you find''em, Elmer?
37167	Did n''t yuh hear that yell?
37167	Did you find it on the ground among those broken pieces of flooring?
37167	Did you get a look at the chap, Mark? 37167 Did you peek in, and see him?
37167	Do n''t like the idea, of running up against a hard fist, is that it, fellows? 37167 Do we go, Elmer?"
37167	Do you mean to tell me you read all that just from the signs? 37167 Does that mean you''re going to creep forward and try and glimpse the camp of the enemy?"
37167	Does this scouting teach you boys how to do that sort of thing?
37167	Going to wait for him?
37167	Have you struck a place for us to crawl in, Larry? 37167 He sure ca n''t be a great ways from here, Elmer?"
37167	Hey, what''s that?
37167	How did it happen?
37167	How is that, Chatz?
37167	How much further do we have to go now?
37167	How''bout you, ole feller; do n''t you jine us in this game?
37167	I hope it ai n''t bad news then?
37167	I said, did n''t I, that when I saw what blundering fools them jay cops were, I believed there was a heap more chance of Elmer trackin''Dolph Gruber? 37167 I suppose every scout will know what it means and come back?"
37167	I wonder now, did Elmer really mean to keep tabs on what we were doing?
37167	I''ve heard it said that a fellow can use his watch, if he''s got one, for a compass; how about that, Elmer?
37167	In what way?
37167	Listen again, would ye? 37167 Look at him turning somersaults, would you?"
37167	Looks like we were just bound to run across that Matt everywhere we went, do n''t it? 37167 Now what d''ye want of me?"
37167	Perhaps now,continued the other slowly, but with a positive ring to his voice,"it might happen to be a hat or a cap you picked up?"
37167	Say, do n''t ye know the old loggin''road leads up here from the main line? 37167 Say, do you mean to tell us you noticed all those details, and right while we were all excited over the injuries of the farmer?"
37167	Say, however did that chump get here?
37167	Say, what d''ye mean to do with me?
37167	Say, you''ve been up in this region before, have n''t you, Elmer?
37167	See here, why do you call the new troop a''gang''? 37167 See here, you''re only guessing when you say it was a hobo; what proof is there of such a thing?"
37167	See here,he broke out with at this point,"why do n''t we just walk right into McGraw Camp, and up to that coward, Dolph Gruber?
37167	Sure I did; think I ai n''t got ears?
37167	Sure of that, are you, ma''am?
37167	Tell us what you think, Elmer?
37167	That''s all the reward we want for our day''s labor, and say, we''ve had just a dandy time, have n''t we, fellows?
37167	Thay, are we near him now?
37167	Then we''re apt to run on them any old time now?
37167	There, do n''t that feel much better?
37167	WHAT makes you so sure about that, Elmer?
37167	Want us to tag along after you, Elmer?
37167	Was it a hobo who had been sleeping here in the old shop? 37167 We had a fine meeting, eh, Mark?"
37167	Well, since both of us are a heap bigger than you, whose clothes d''ye think you''ve got hold of anyway, eh?
37167	Well, what d''ye think of that?
37167	Well, what sort of crazy questions are ye askin''? 37167 Well, where are you going?"
37167	Well, you fellers know we''re startin''a troop over in Fairfield, do n''t you?
37167	What ails him now?
37167	What d''ye take me for, Jasper? 37167 What do you think?"
37167	What makes you think that?
37167	What say, Pete, do we start out to do the great rescuin''act, and bring the poor bubble wagon fool here to get bleeded?
37167	What way?
37167	What you looking at, Elmer?
37167	What''re we going to do next, Elmer?
37167	What''s he going to do now?
37167	What''s that?
37167	What''s the matter with you?
37167	What''s the matter?
37167	What''s the use doin''either?
37167	What, only a pesky little raccoon, and to pitch in for me like that?
37167	What? 37167 Whatever is he doing now?"
37167	Where''d you ever come from?
37167	Whose orders?
37167	Why do n''t Red start his bazoo?
37167	Why, what''s his desire to be a doctor and a surgeon got to do with it?
37167	Would you mind telling us, Matt,said Elmer, pleasantly,"just why you want to go along with us now?"
37167	You ai n''t going to run away, and leave me here, are you, Larry?
37167	You found something, did n''t you, Nat?
37167	You mean by use of a little bow, and a stick that turns around in a notch of some wood, do n''t you, Elmer?
37167	Ai n''t you the cute one, though, Elmer?
37167	And besides, had they not learned many things in the way of woodcraft that were apt to be useful, and make them better scouts?
37167	And say, would n''t it make our chance for a warm session of baseball a little later on look pretty good?"
37167	And was it a great big black bear, or a savage bobcat?"
37167	And what scout worthy of the name would forget his vows, and turn a cold shoulder upon a seeker after light?
37167	But can you not give us some sort of clue as to which direction he took?"
37167	But did I prove my point, fellows?"
37167	But tell me, whatever do you mean by saying the worst is something more than getting our new uniforms soaked through?"
37167	But was it safe to try and creep away while those three fellows were so close to him?
37167	D''ye mark what the cove''s ayellin''?
37167	D''ye think if they was any cop around they''d be tellin''us about it?
37167	Did n''t Mr. Garrabrant, our fine scout- master, tell us only the other night that was so?
37167	Do you get on now, Phil?"
37167	Do you see where he began to move along so as to keep this fringe of bushes in front?
37167	Do you think he was going out of his head, and believin''the police were hot on his trail?"
37167	Does it belong to anybody here?"
37167	Elmer, do you dare tackle it, and try to get back that little girl again for her nearly crazy mother?"
37167	Elmer, is there anything we can do to help?"
37167	For what could a trio of mere boys do, when a doctor was needed so badly?
37167	Going to bed now?
37167	Hear that, Matt?"
37167	Here''s your Cousin Matt along, too; you know him, do n''t you?
37167	How''s it goin''tuh be lucky for us three?"
37167	I suppose every one of you can see this plain track of Dolph''s shoe here?"
37167	I''m saying this more for the benefit of the new members than anything else, you understand?"
37167	Is it a sort of mixed gray in color and pretty well worn?"
37167	Is that respectful, and the way to treat fellow scouts?"
37167	Kin I go, Elmer?"
37167	Looky here, you two, how d''ye know this ai n''t jest the luckiest thing for us three coves that ever came down the pike?"
37167	No harm done, Elmer, was there?"
37167	No matter if he does object; what right has a kidnaper got we''re bound to respect?
37167	Now, how are we going to prove it?"
37167	Now, what under the sun has Fighting Matt gone and done, Elmer?"
37167	Otherwise, why should the scout leader, who was so well versed in everything pertaining to outdoors, speak of it as a hurricane wind?
37167	Say, are they near here; and did they turn back?"
37167	Say, is that the sort of milksops this here scout business makes of boys?
37167	Something happened since we left home?"
37167	Supposing the shouts had reached the ears of those two tramps-- would they dare turn back and make for the cabin at their best speed?
37167	That''s about west over there, because the sun is heading yonder; but where''s Hickory Ridge?"
37167	Then if you should get stuck, you could crawl out again, see?"
37167	Trying to play a joke on me, are you?"
37167	Was n''t he to send a signal of some sort?"
37167	Was there a road so close to them, hidden by the thick undergrowth?
37167	Watch me fix him up in a jiffy, will you?"
37167	What comes next on the program?"
37167	What happened to Toby?
37167	What sort of an excuse can you give for holding eleven comrades nearly ten minutes each?
37167	What''s that?
37167	What''s the use knuckling down in this way, I''d like to know?
37167	Whatever made you do it?"
37167	Who knows but what we Hickory Ridge scouts may be given the chance, and the privilege as well, to open the eyes of Matt Tubbs?"
37167	Who''s with me?"
37167	Will you ask Matt to please find the horse, and start for town?"
37167	Would he find that the supposition of the trail follower was correct?
37167	Would n''t they rather creep up on us sly like, and nail us before we could run?
37167	You have n''t any more with you, I suppose?
37167	You remember, some of you, how he fell off the roof of the church that night, a year ago, when we were trying to get in the belfry to ring the bell?
37167	afraid to risk it, hey?"
37167	by the way, Matt,"said Elmer with a twinkle in his eye,"the first time you''re in Hickory Ridge, just stop off at my house, wo n''t you?
37167	demanded the fellow called Simsy;"if so be yuh know, tell us, Dolph?
37167	did n''t I tell you I was n''t made of sugar or salt?
37167	do you really think so, Larry?"
37167	do you really think so?"
37167	hear that, will you, Larry?"
37167	it''s you, Elmer, is it?"
37167	me?"
37167	was n''t ma scared, though?
37167	we''ll agree with you, all right,"grinned Larry;"but suppose you tell us what it was?
37167	what would we have done only for the coming of you boys?"
37167	what''s that?"
37167	what''s that?"
37167	what''s this here, Jasper?"
37167	wo n''t somebody come to help us?"
34333	A little bit stuck on themselves, ai n''t they?
34333	An''what you reckon, Cap''n Ted? 34333 And what did Jenkins say?"
34333	And you were just starting to look for us?
34333	Are we out of the swamp at last?
34333	Are you all right, kid?
34333	Are you going to wear that all the time?
34333	Are you sick?
34333	But how can anybody get along without meat?
34333	But what if they should come in here?
34333	But what''s happened, July?
34333	But why do n''t our people and our friends over the big water get after them sneakin''things and knock''em out and stop it?
34333	Ca n''t we put the dogs off the scent in some way?
34333	Ca n''t we slip out and run?
34333	Cap''n Ted, you want to go fishin''wid me dis mawnin''?
34333	Cap''n Ted,he began,"you reckon I kin''pend on what you said''bout gittin''a cook''s job behind de lines in dat waw?"
34333	Den, how come you talk so uppity, like a man wid de law on he side and ai n''t a- scared o''nobody?
34333	Did Guv''nor Dorsey sen''you?
34333	Did Judge Ridgway sen''you?
34333	Did he do that? 34333 Did n''t you know the President has made all the Boy Scouts dispatch bearers?
34333	Did you ever see the like o''that boy?
34333	Did you hear what that boy said?
34333	Do n''t you hear me?
34333	Do n''t you hear_ me_?
34333	Do n''t you reckon we''d better tie them boys?
34333	Do n''t you see what this brings us up against?
34333	Do you take me for a_ German_?
34333	Do you think the panthers will smell us and-- and-- come?
34333	Do you think we could start out to- morrow?
34333	Do you think your ankle can stand a rush?
34333	Do you want to see a German general in command of Atlanta and of every other State capital? 34333 Do you want to see a German viceroy taking orders from the Kaiser at Washington?"
34333	For goodness''sake,cried Bud Jones,"does he want us to starve so them people in Europe can have plenty?"
34333	Goin''to desert, air you?
34333	Have you got any more legs than they have?
34333	How about you, Jenkins?
34333	How about you?
34333	How about_ you_?
34333	How can we? 34333 How could he help it-- with the blood of a man in him?"
34333	How long have I been here?
34333	How much more do you deserve?
34333	How you come on, boys?
34333	If the Germans do get''em, what''s that to us''way down h- yuh?
34333	Is that you, Jenkins? 34333 Is you boys perishin''for sump''n to eat?"
34333	Look yuh, Billy,cried July, as the half- wit approached,"ai n''t you got no better sense''n to prodjick wid a rattlesnake dat- a way?"
34333	Mr. Hardy,he said,"kin I take Cap''n Ted wid me to build dat turkey pen dis evenin''an''lef''Hubut yuh to play wid Billy?"
34333	Now where''s them boys?
34333	Now, how are we going to get out?
34333	Oh-- this is where those slackers are hiding to keep out of the war?
34333	So you come over this- a way, did you?
34333	So you''ve gone back on us,repeated James, his voice trembling with anger,"and you''ll go out and put the sheriff on our trail?"
34333	Sposen his ma keep sick an''he stay dere till she die or git better? 34333 Ten-- ten-- double ten-- forty- five-- fifteen hundred-- are you all hid?"
34333	Thought you''d give us the slip along with them boys, did you?
34333	Tired out a''ready?
34333	W- huh you boys come fum?
34333	Well, did n''t the men shoot thirteen times before they brought down that bear the other night?
34333	Well, what you boys aim to do?
34333	What I done to you, Buck Hardy?
34333	What did you come in this swamp for, anyhow?
34333	What do the Huns care about a lady or anything in the world?
34333	What do you mean?
34333	What good will that do you?
34333	What in the dickens made you wake us up to tell such a fool tale as that?
34333	What is it?
34333	What is the name of this island?
34333	What made you tell?
34333	What''s all the row about anyhow?
34333	What''s that?
34333	What''s the news about the war?
34333	What''s them clothes you got on?
34333	What''s to keep that old man from goin''out and tellin''on our whole crowd?
34333	Where am I?
34333	Where dat rifle?
34333	Where''s Hubert?
34333	Who is Mr. Buck Hardy?
34333	Who is he?
34333	Who is''son''?
34333	Who''re you?
34333	Who, me? 34333 Who, me?"
34333	Who, me?
34333	Who- all''s this?
34333	Who- all''s this?
34333	Who_ ca n''t_ wring off a gander''s neck if he swings on to it that- a way?
34333	Whur in the dickance did you boys come from?
34333	Why are you so sot agin him? 34333 Why ca n''t you keep yer feet out o''the road?"
34333	Why did n''t you tell me before?
34333	Why do n''t you do that to a man of your size?
34333	Why do they call them''Boches,''Cousin John?
34333	Why should n''t I if I like? 34333 Why, do you know them boys?"
34333	Will I ever get him away from this place?
34333	Will they bite us?
34333	Will you go peaceable, or do you want a whippin''?
34333	Will your right hand feel that way if somebody walks up and whacks off your left?
34333	Would they have eaten us if we had n''t had it?
34333	You got enough?
34333	You mean that after them boys has blabbed the whole thing, you wo n''t deny it?
34333	You reckon they''re such blame''fools as all that?
34333	_ Know_''em? 34333 After Ted had satisfied his hunger, felt strengthened, and had thanked the negro gratefully and very politely, he asked:What camp is this?"
34333	After some minutes without speech the younger boy asked:"Ted, what are you thinking about?"
34333	An''while he waitin'', sposen dey grab him an''sen''him to do waw?
34333	And what else could they have expected?
34333	Are you ready to register and go to the war when called?"
34333	As to your future, I rather think it will have to be West Point for you, eh?"
34333	Both boys smiled broadly, but at the conclusion of this prodigiously amusing speech Ted asked:"Do n''t you call yourself a free man?
34333	But what visitors?
34333	Ca n''t we be soldiers enough to stand just a hole in the ground with snow in it?"
34333	Cap''n Ted, if I was to go out wid you, you reckon dem draft- bode people would grab me right up an''sen''me to de waw?"
34333	Did Sweet Jackson do anything to you after he caught you?
34333	Did de President sen''you in dis swamp to git after dese slackers, too?"
34333	Did their disappearance cause alarm at Judge Ridgway''s farm?
34333	Did this not account, at least in part, for their indifference, and if they were told more about the war, might it not be possible to wake them up?
34333	Do n''t you think it''s bad enough to be a slacker without putting the blame on somebody else?"
34333	Do n''t you want Americans still to rule in the country which our ancestors fought for and won and built up?
34333	Do n''t you want to come along with me and join the_ men_?"
34333	Do n''t you want to come along?"
34333	Do n''t you want to see your neighbors and all our people live in freedom and safety?
34333	Do you feel like walking there and back, son?"
34333	Do you want them protected?
34333	Do you want to cut wood and tote water for the Germans for the rest of your days?"
34333	Do you want to keep our young women from being carried off into slavery?
34333	Do you want to see a strutting German boss lording it over every town and county in this country?
34333	Do you want to see in your own neighborhoods the dreadful things that have been seen in Belgium and France?
34333	Do you want to wait until_ we_ feel like that toward any people who might come to help us to drive back the German hordes?
34333	Do you want your mothers and sisters and sweethearts to belong to foreign beasts?
34333	Dropping into a seat by the grieving boy, he put a hand on his knee and asked indignantly:"Who been whippin''you?"
34333	Finally Buck turned to Ted and said:"Well, kid, what''s the strangest thing you''ve seen in the Oke- fi- noke?"
34333	Finally Sweet rose, saying:"What you aim to do with them boys to- night, Buck?
34333	Fixing his eye on Ted, he inquired with a giggle,"What''s your name?"
34333	Had his uncle returned from Washington, and, if so, what did he think, and what would he do?
34333	Hardy?"
34333	Hardy?"
34333	Hardy?"
34333	Have you had enough of dodging the law of the land and shirking your duty, hidden like thieves in a swamp?
34333	Have you noticed that it''s smaller and has a longer tail than the one that jumped into our boat that morning in the swamp?"
34333	If the Germans get England and the British fleet, what will happen then?
34333	Is n''t it wonderful how things come out all right?
34333	It was on the tip of Ted''s tongue to say:"Well, then, why do n''t you go where you can get a chance to do it?"
34333	It was while this conversation was in progress that Sweet Jackson entered the clearing and called out:"You goin''to use July this mornin'', Buck?"
34333	Possibly the dogs of the far camp had started on the trail of some animal, but what could this matter to the three sleepers under the pine?
34333	Smith?"
34333	So you''ve had a terrible time, eh?
34333	Ted and Hubert laughed heartily, vastly amused, and the latter said:"Do n''t you think all slackers are as ready as that?"
34333	Then ought n''t we to save and even deny ourselves in order to send them wheat and meat?
34333	Then, tweaking the toes of his own bare feet, he merrily recited:"This little pig wants some corn; this one says,''Where you goin''to git it?''
34333	Well, what do them yellow dogs in the bushes behind you aim to do?"
34333	What do you say, men?"
34333	What do_ they_ care?
34333	What had we better do about that?"
34333	What them Germans ever done to_ me_?
34333	What was to be the end of it?
34333	What''s the matter with corn bread and rye bread and potatoes and rice and oat- meal porridge?"
34333	What''s the matter with fish and eggs and oysters and a whole lot of things to take the place of meat?"
34333	What''s the matter with them dogs anyhow?"
34333	What''s the news about the war?"
34333	Whur did you boys come from?"
34333	Wo n''t you stand by us?"
34333	Would not the government also be willing and even pleased for him to undertake to show the hiding draft- evaders the error of their way?
34333	You reckon dat''s so?"
34333	You think I kin''pend on dat, Cap''n Ted?"
34333	_ Who_ you boys?"
34333	what''s up?"
30453	''Allo, you get heem broke foot, mebby?
30453	Are you all ready, Nipper?
30453	Bet it will burn up the beach, eh, fellows?
30453	Bully-- how''s it done?
30453	But say, here we''ve been talking about giving the town a flag, now what''s it to look like?
30453	But what''s to prevent?
30453	But why do n''t you make a couple of scaling ladders? 30453 By Jiminy, what do you think of that?"
30453	By Jove, she looks like a real fire fighter, does n''t she?
30453	Can you do all that?
30453	Corking crowd, eh, Bruce?
30453	Do they line''em up like a lot of sprinters and start''em when a pistol is fired?
30453	Et will take you all ze Wintair for ze work mebbe, huh?
30453	Good, I''ll learn your names later, boys, and if I do n''t, I''ll give you names that''ll be just as good, wo n''t I, May? 30453 Have I your permission to take a hand?"
30453	Hello, boys, how''s she working?
30453	How about it, fellows? 30453 How about ladders?"
30453	How about the flag?
30453	How are you, Scouts?
30453	How does it suit? 30453 How fast can they go?"
30453	How''er we goin''t''get some light into t''hole t''see the brute? 30453 How''er you''re goin''to hitch anything around_ that_ animal, I''d like to know?"
30453	How''ll yuh do it? 30453 Huh, you have n''t?
30453	In the movies, eh? 30453 Is Mr. Ford at headquarters?"
30453	Is that so? 30453 Is that what it was?
30453	It does seem like a dream, does n''t it?
30453	Jove, we''ll have some celebration, eh, fellows?
30453	Letter?
30453	Like it, boys?
30453	Look at who-- what?
30453	Oh- ho, so you are the chaps Mr. Herrick was telling me about-- have motorcycles and all that sort of rigging, eh? 30453 Rather early in the morning to risk one''s neck, eh?
30453	Rebuilt the bridge, eh? 30453 Say, did you see''em scrapping over who should carry the fire trumpet?"
30453	Say, hang it all, you Scouts know a thing or two, do n''t yuh?
30453	Say, how do they race?
30453	Say, is n''t it great?
30453	Say, was that opportunity, after all?
30453	So that''s the line, eh? 30453 So this is the famous Old Harbor Beach race course?"
30453	Struck it? 30453 The Guardians of the Highways and--""Well, why in tarnation did n''t yuh guard''em then?
30453	Well, Scouts, it surely looks like a good plan, but will it catch''em, that''s what we want to know?
30453	What sort of a flag is it to be? 30453 What the dickens is the matter with us anyway, are we lazy?"
30453	What''re you making such a row for? 30453 What''s a supe?"
30453	When are you going to be ready for the official tryout?
30453	When you come into heem woods for cut um down?
30453	When''ll you be ready? 30453 Where are you fellows from?"
30453	Where?
30453	Who do you know at Old Harbor Beach, Bruce?
30453	Who, me?
30453	Why, what the dickens struck you? 30453 Will it take long?"
30453	Will that elephant mind his trainer?
30453	Will we be able to see the races?
30453	Woodbridge, Vermont? 30453 Would you like to ride on the tandem behind me?"
30453	Yes, but first why not get the troop together and see if we can get ten good swimmers whose parents will let them go? 30453 And I guess we must have put on about three thousand lamp sockets during the last few days, have n''t we?
30453	And if you do n''t mind, will you scrape up a few of those papers?
30453	And say, fellows, we''ll have to erect our poles at Firemen''s Field, do you realize that?
30453	And, by the way, did you notice that the pamphlet from the Mayor''s office named Mr. Ford among the members of the judging committee in this contest?"
30453	And, say-- listen-- what''s the fuss up the street?
30453	Any one been up to the hospital?"
30453	Anything we can do for you?
30453	Anything you want?
30453	Are the tents ready and the rest of the equipment in order?
30453	Are you ready now, gentlemen?
30453	Are you ready?"
30453	Are you sure--?"
30453	Are you willing to do a good turn for the welfare of us all?"
30453	Are you with us?"
30453	Boy Scout, do you know anything about old Nanny-- Nanny Haskell?
30453	But what''s that side car paraphernalia, that long box and the cigar- shaped tin can and the reel with wire cable on it, and all that?"
30453	By jiminy, I thought all moths could fly, did n''t you?
30453	Ca n''t you see him?"
30453	Ca n''t you send one to the Woodbridge Theater?"
30453	Can you read them?"
30453	Come, spit it out, and if it is n''t any better than the rest we''ve been listening to, we''ll maul you-- won''t we, fellows?"
30453	Could he make it?
30453	Could he make the turn?
30453	Could this be done?
30453	Cracky what''ll we do?
30453	Dad said so, and he knows, and, say, speaking of Haystack Mountain,"added Bruce,"why not go up there for our tree?
30453	Did n''t any of you see it?"
30453	Did your fire make all that smoke, Romper?"
30453	Do n''t it look fine, eh?
30453	Do n''t you ever read the papers?"
30453	Do you boys want it?
30453	Do you understand?"
30453	Doctair Lyman heem line run cross by that blaze over tair; you see heem, huh?
30453	Elephant-- in-- in--''What the dickens is he talking about?
30453	Get my idea?
30453	Had Dave Connors come down the wood road, or had he gone wandering blindly through the forest to be trapped and burned to death?
30453	Had he brought the scouts out on a dangerous but useless mission?
30453	Had he tried to crawl to the door?
30453	Had they the time to accomplish the task?
30453	Has Bruce heard from Chief Blaney yet?
30453	Has n''t he, gentlemen?
30453	Hear''em shoutin''?
30453	Hi, Buster, what did you let that fire go out for?
30453	How about it?"
30453	How about it?"
30453	How about it?"
30453	How about it?"
30453	How are the wire stringers getting along?"
30453	How are you?
30453	How do you like that for a programme?"
30453	How do you like that, boys?"
30453	How does it work?
30453	How does that strike you?"
30453	How does that suit you?"
30453	How is she to- day?
30453	How long will it take''em to go the full length of the beach?"
30453	How long would it be before the flames reached the office and burned the old man alive?
30453	How would you like the job, boys?"
30453	How would you like to be my supes?
30453	How''ll that suit you fellows?"
30453	How''ll we ever get him out?
30453	How''s''Old Nanc''?"
30453	Hurry it, will you, fellows?"
30453	I believe your Northern Light was a forest fire, or-- or-- say, is n''t that smoke rising above those trees there?"
30453	I could n''t get that last, could you, Bruce?"
30453	I guess we''re all going to stay up and see the circus go through town, if it is n''t raining, are n''t we, fellows?"
30453	I wondered if any one was caught in it, same as we were nearly caught?"
30453	I-- Hi, Bruce, what''s getting you, you''re as pale as a ghost?"
30453	I--""Say, Romper, is your fire really out?"
30453	If I can I-- Listen, is that some one coming?
30453	Is it ready to test?
30453	Is it?
30453	Is that the machine?
30453	It all grew out of watching a vacuum cleaner, eh?
30453	It also says that the female Brown Tail moth is attracted by strong lights and can be found fluttering around arc lamps almost any warm--""Does it?
30453	It means-- ah-- er-- well--""Sure it does, we knew it all the time, did n''t we, Romper?"
30453	McCabe?"
30453	Now be honest, have you?"
30453	Now where do we stand, I''d like to know?"
30453	Now, slower-- what''s this idea?
30453	Oh, well, we do n''t mind, do we, boys?"
30453	Quarry Troop''s Christmas CHAPTER I THE MOTORCYCLE FIRE BRIGADE"By Jiminy, that was some fire for an old hay barn, was n''t it, fellows?"
30453	Remember?
30453	Say what can they make fifteen miles in?
30453	Say, did you get your letter?"
30453	Say, fellows, can it be a forest fire?
30453	Say, fellows, what do you say to going down and looking over the garages before breakfast?"
30453	See the lights down there by the old quarry hole?
30453	See the plan?"
30453	See''em-- that string of lights coming down Willow Street-- hear that rumble of the wagons?"
30453	Standing at attention, Bruce saluted in regulation Boy Scout fashion and asked briefly:"Chief, can the Boy Scout Engineers take a hand in this?
30453	Thanks, that looks much better, does n''t it?
30453	That should help the troop''s treasury a little, eh, boys?"
30453	That should make a real hit, eh, fellows?
30453	The tests can be conducted up to midnight Saturday, ca n''t they?"
30453	Then he added:"Sure enough, but by gollies I smell some-- I hope it isn''t-- gee, look over to the west there above the trees: Is that smoke?
30453	Then turning to Nipper Knapp, he shouted,"How about the motor, Nipper?"
30453	Then,"say, is Mr. Ford here?
30453	Think some one is going down there and dive between his legs with your blooming old sling, do yuh?
30453	Tough luck, is n''t it?"
30453	Want to starve him?"
30453	Was everything going to fall through at the last moment?
30453	Was it a failure?
30453	Was their idea only visionary, alter all?
30453	We do n''t mind taking_ that_ sort of pay for a good turn, do we?"
30453	We have n''t seen anything as good as this, have we?"
30453	We''ll work out a regular rescue exercise, wo n''t we, fellows?"
30453	Well, twenty- five acres of woods is a lot of territory, is n''t it, Bruce?"
30453	Well, you came a long way to see the races, did n''t you?"
30453	What do you mean by a city flag?
30453	What do you say?
30453	What do you think of the scout''s invention?
30453	What do you want, provisions, matches?
30453	What does it mean?
30453	What for, I wonder?
30453	What had happened?
30453	What shall I ever do?
30453	What you zink of zat?"
30453	What''s the matter, Romper?"
30453	What''s the matter?"
30453	When''ll we start?"
30453	Where are the rest of the fellows?"
30453	Where are you going to test it?"
30453	Where does it say they like strong light?"
30453	Where was he?
30453	Where--?"
30453	Where?
30453	Who could be other than happy with Christmas but a week off?
30453	Who knows?
30453	Who wants to go along?"
30453	Why should this be taken from me, too?
30453	Why you do n''t fix heem camp up good?
30453	Will he?
30453	Wo n''t tell a soul until we get a chance to spring a surprise on the whole town, eh, fellows?"
30453	Wo n''t you, boys?"
30453	Would he?
30453	Would the boom hold?
30453	Would the truck stay on all four wheels or would it go plunging on madly, end over end, into the lake?
30453	Would they be trapped by it?
30453	Wow; were there ever fellows as lucky as we are?
30453	You fellows be sure and report for duty, will you?"
30453	demanded Bruce,"what letter?"
30453	how about the blasting mat sling-- is it finished?"
30453	is she alive-- really-- honest-- Nanny Haskell-- boy, you''re sure?"
30453	roared the furious manager,"but how in tarnation are you going to get it_ under_ his belly?
30453	want to freeze us out?"
30453	what shall I do?"
30453	what was that word?
20327	Aeroplanes?
20327	And if there is?
20327	And where does the road to St. Quentin turn off from this one?
20327	And why should n''t we? 20327 Are n''t there men enough to run them?"
20327	Are you going to join? 20327 As far as that, eh?"
20327	Boy Scouts?
20327	Boys, have you read in the newspapers of the trouble between Austria and Servia?
20327	But do you know what I think? 20327 But here?
20327	But how-- and why-- if the clock had stopped?
20327	But until your uncle comes-- what then, hein?
20327	But why did you think they stayed there? 20327 But you came?"
20327	But, Frank, how can they know so well what to do? 20327 But--""_ If_ war comes?"
20327	By Jove, how did you come to think of flashing that message to me?
20327	Ca n''t they hear the engines from the ground?
20327	Ca n''t you guess? 20327 Captain Greene, by any chance?"
20327	Did you understand, Henri?
20327	Do n''t you know it must come? 20327 Do soldiers go from here, too?"
20327	Do you mean that there may be war, sir?
20327	Do you mean you think the Germans can get to Amiens?
20327	Do you remember the statue of Strassburg? 20327 Do you see that light?
20327	Do you see those barrels over there toward the inn? 20327 Do you see?
20327	Do you see?
20327	Do you think we''ve nothing better to do than to waste time in jokes? 20327 Do you?
20327	Does n''t look much like war, does it?
20327	Eh? 20327 He did not shoot me, so what does it matter?
20327	Here?
20327	How can you say that, Frank? 20327 How could they do that?"
20327	How did you find your way, sir?
20327	How it is that you left Amiens and how you came here?
20327	How was that? 20327 I am glad that we are here, are n''t you?
20327	I wonder where those airships were meant to go? 20327 If that''s so, it''s a pretty big sell for us flying chaps-- eh, what?
20327	If they''re after me, why do n''t they take me?
20327	If you went down right away, would it all get out before you reached the ground?
20327	Is n''t it?
20327	Kannst du Englisch sprechen?
20327	Know what you''re going to do?
20327	Look, Frank, what is that?
20327	May we go with you?
20327	Oh-- so that they could come secretly, and not be seen as they passed over Belgium?
20327	Only tell me, which way from here is Amiens?
20327	Pretty powerful, is n''t it?
20327	Really? 20327 See the point?"
20327	See the trick? 20327 See those lights?"
20327	Seen any signs of Germans?
20327	Servia? 20327 Shall we still make for Le Cateau?"
20327	Someone then will know that we are coming, my colonel?
20327	Suppose we hide the bicycles near here and go along through the fields? 20327 Tell me, are those woods I can see in front of them at all thick?"
20327	That does n''t look much as if we were losing, does it?
20327	Then Amiens is to be evacuated, my colonel?
20327	Then why are troops going south? 20327 There''s always trouble, is n''t there, in those parts?"
20327	There''s no doubt about their being there, though?
20327	These are the ones?
20327	What are you youngsters doing here?
20327	What do you do here? 20327 What do you mean, Frank?
20327	What do you want?
20327	What does he mean?
20327	What has become of them?
20327	What is it?
20327	What is left of them? 20327 What is the matter?"
20327	What of it? 20327 What sort of a silly prank is this?"
20327	What then?
20327	When?
20327	Where did the soldiers who are in the park come from?
20327	Where did they come from? 20327 Where do you suppose those chaps came from?"
20327	Where do you want to go?
20327	Who is the commander?
20327	Who knows? 20327 Why now more than at any other time, Harry?"
20327	Why should I stay here? 20327 Why?"
20327	Why?
20327	Wo n''t you let me try? 20327 Yes, but how?
20327	Yes, why not? 20327 Yes-- but it''s different, is n''t it, Henri?"
20327	You are English-- one of our allies?
20327	You are, are you?
20327	You could join with me, could n''t you? 20327 You did?
20327	You have a word, a countersign, perhaps?
20327	You know the scout law?
20327	You saw these Germans-- just where? 20327 You see this buttress?
20327	You sent for me, Major?
20327	You speak English well? 20327 You speak French well?"
20327	You will be an officer, will you not?
20327	Your uncle said to me only to- night, when we heard of the mobilization:''And what of Henri? 20327 Zeppelins?"
20327	''Oo goes there?"
20327	A car like this would carry everything needed for small repairs, would n''t it?"
20327	And how is it they did n''t see the English cavalry?"
20327	And that is good-- that is the best news we could have, is n''t it?"
20327	And what happened then, when they were ready to fight?"
20327	And where were they?"
20327	And why must France fight?
20327	And you have brought a friend?
20327	And-- who knows?"
20327	Are the big guns drowning it?"
20327	Are there fortifications?"
20327	Are they pumping?"
20327	At Amiens?
20327	Boy Scouts, are you?"
20327	But how can they be here without being seen?
20327	But how do we know?
20327	But the clock looks new, does n''t it?"
20327	But will she leave her task with the wounded?"
20327	But will your people want me?"
20327	But, tell me, would they fight here?
20327	Can either of you drive a motor?"
20327	Can you hear the sound of guns?"
20327	Can you turn your''buses here?
20327	Did the Germans drive you from Amiens?
20327	Did you start on the sight of that burning house?"
20327	Do n''t you remember the march to Moscow?
20327	Do n''t you suppose our generals have their plans, too?
20327	Do n''t you think that will be better, Frank?"
20327	Do you know what I think?
20327	Do you see?
20327	Do you see?"
20327	Do you wear the same sort of uniforms?"
20327	Even if he escaped, where could he go?
20327	Ever been up?"
20327	Ever see it before?"
20327	Got that flashlight I gave you?
20327	Harry, do you know what I think?
20327	He could be signalling, could n''t he?"
20327	Henri, will you and Francois come with me?"
20327	How are you going to find out?"
20327	How did you get here?
20327	How it is always draped in black-- with mourning wreaths?"
20327	How the Russians retreated, always, and drew him on?
20327	I say, you''re not French, my lad, are you?
20327	I suppose you know I signalled for that?"
20327	I wonder if any will be quartered at your house, Henri?"
20327	If there''s a risk, why should n''t I take it just as well as you?"
20327	If, in the final test, would he dare to do what he had tried to arrange?
20327	Is that the thing for French soldiers to do?
20327	It is here-- see, on the map?"
20327	It''s funny for a supply train like this to be here without any escort of troops, is n''t it?"
20327	Know how the straps go?
20327	May he?"
20327	Of what regiment are you, my friends?"
20327	Oh, I wonder what can be wanted?"
20327	Oh, do you think they will harm him?"
20327	On our return we report to you here?"
20327	Paris?
20327	See, over there to the right?
20327	Shall you stay in Amiens after that, even if the French leave, which they will?"
20327	Something about the hands of a clock you saw moving, eh?"
20327	Suppose a German was there?
20327	Suppose he''d run into the Germans?"
20327	THE BOY SCOUTS ON THE TRAIL CHAPTER I PLANS FOR THE HOLIDAYS"Where are you going to spend the holidays, Frank?"
20327	Tell me, Frank, you have seen the Place de la Concorde, in Paris?"
20327	That''s where we shall go first, is n''t it?"
20327	The troops from here?"
20327	There is a force of infantry-- five thousand men, we estimated--""What?"
20327	There is no sign of the Prussians, eh?"
20327	They''ve caught a lot of our men, have n''t they?
20327	Wait?
20327	Well, could n''t they use their uniforms so that it would look as if it was a French or an English train?
20327	Were you not among those who captured Mulhouse?"
20327	What are our aeroplanes doing?"
20327	What are they doing?"
20327	What do you suppose those lights mean?"
20327	What if there was?
20327	What was that fire I saw?
20327	What''s that?
20327	What''s this-- a village we''re coming to?"
20327	What''s your name, eh?
20327	Where can they be going?"
20327	Where did you think you saw them?
20327	Where is the glory of war of which history tells?
20327	Where on earth did they come from?
20327	Which is Francois Barnes?"
20327	Who is he?"
20327	Who is your recruit?"
20327	Why is that, I wonder?
20327	Why not?"
20327	Why should n''t they have gone on?"
20327	Why?"
20327	Will one of you help one of my scouts to determine this?"
20327	Will they harm Monsieur le Maire?
20327	Wonder if I could have been mistaken?
20327	Wonder if it''s true?
20327	You can find your way about?"
20327	You can understand thoroughly?"
20327	You do n''t mind the risk?"
20327	You have heard of Leon Bollet?"
20327	You have heard of it?
20327	You mean he would tell other Germans to come here-- that there was work for them to do?"
20327	You mean that the fog would only spread over a certain distance?"
20327	You understand?"
20327	You will come?"
20327	You would want me to do my share?"
20327	You''re going to be here for a whole year more, are n''t you?"
20327	You, Martin, know the country here?
28531	A little snow is n''t going to make us hedge on that arrangement we made the last thing before turning in, I hope, Jack?
28531	A trap, did ye say?
28531	And Paul,continued Bluff,"will you accept one of these fat birds from us?"
28531	And bears just dote on honey, do they, the same as Jud here does?
28531	And did you gather it yourself around here, Tolly Tip?
28531	And how did it end?
28531	And that was where, Jud?
28531	And was the other chap a long- legged hobo, wid a face that made ye think av the sharp idge av a hatchet?
28531	Any chance of getting that flashlight?
28531	Are you all through?
28531	Are you badly hurt, sir?
28531	Are you happy because we''re going to break camp so much sooner than we expected, owing to everything being snowed under up here in the woods?
28531	But I suppose you''ll hardly pick me out as one of the rescue party, Paul?
28531	But Jud, did he explain to you how he came to know the tramps were up here in the woods above Lake Tokala?
28531	But Paul, what could we do to help them?
28531	But do you mean to say there are real, live bears around here, Tolly Tip?
28531	But how came it you were so slow in getting to the fire, Paul?
28531	But if he starts to jump at us I ought to try to riddle him, Paul, do n''t you think?
28531	But if the opportunity came along, would n''t it be our duty to cage the rascals?
28531	But in the winter- time they could n''t do that, could they?
28531	But it''s getting a little milder, do n''t you think?
28531	But see the snow piles ahead of us, will you?
28531	But what''s the matter with the fellow?
28531	But would n''t it be dangerous to leave them on the lake so long?
28531	But you had your guns with you, did n''t you?
28531	But you heard what happened?
28531	By the same token,observed Tolly Tip,"till me av one of the tramps had on an ould blue army coat wid rid linin''to the same?"
28531	Come, take pity on us, wo n''t you, Jack?
28531	Did n''t expect us back so soon, did you, Abe?
28531	Did n''t you call when you first got caught?
28531	Did they run across that old bear after all, and get scratched or bitten?
28531	Did you ever see anybody so excited?
28531	Did you find the honey gone?
28531	Do n''t see any signs of another wild man on the island, do you, Jack?
28531	Do n''t see anything of the creature around, do you?
28531	Do n''t tell me you''ve bagged a deer already?
28531	Do we go, snow or sunshine, then?
28531	Do we try to flounder through this, or turn around and try another way?
28531	Do you know what I was thinking about just then?
28531	Do you know what he said when he was showing that scrawl to us fellows? 28531 Do you really believe there''s any truth in that report we heard about Mr. Briggs''safe being found broken open and cleaned out?"
28531	Do you reckon on stayin''out your time up here?
28531	Do you think you can make it, Sim?
28531	Do_ you_ think he will, Paul?
28531	Have a heart, ca n''t you?
28531	Have you got the list that Paul promised to make out with you, Jack? 28531 He was caught in the act, fellows,"asserted Frank Savage,"and the next question with us is what ought we to do to punish a sneak and a spy?"
28531	Hold on, boys, do n''t you think it would be enough if Jud made an apology to us, and promised not to breathe a word of what he chanced to hear?
28531	How about it, Paul?
28531	How about that, Jud?
28531	How about the broken window, Jud?
28531	How about the grub question, Paul?
28531	How can that be when there is n''t the first sign of a fire?
28531	How can that be, Paul?
28531	How does he do it then?
28531	How does it come, Tolly Tip,asked the curious Jud as they toiled onward,"that you remember this hole in the rocks so well?"
28531	How ever would a real bear trap come there?
28531	How far along do you think we are, Tolly Tip?
28531	How far away from here is it?
28531	How is that, Tolly Tip?
28531	How many could sleep in his cabin do you think, Paul?
28531	How was I to know your crowd was inside there? 28531 I do n''t believe you''ve ever had a good snapshot of a live mink, have you, Paul?"
28531	I suppose the big beast tackled you then, did he, Bluff?
28531	I suspect that this Hank ye''re tillin''me about must be a wild harum- scarum broth av a boy thin?
28531	If Jud backs out because he''s tired from his tramp this morning, Paul, call on me, will you?
28531	If he chooses to amuse himself in that way what''s the odds? 28531 Is it the ould storekeeper in Stanhope ye mane?"
28531	Is the charcoal burners''shack far away from the creek, Tolly Tip?
28531	Jack, he may be drawing us into a trap of some sort, do n''t you think?
28531	Just what do you mean by that, Sim?
28531	Listen to him scolding the foreman of the fire company, will you?
28531	Look at old Briggs, will you?
28531	Meaning a big storm, eh, Tolly Tip?
28531	Nothing else to keep us here, is there, Paul?
28531	Now let''s hear what you''ve been hatching up for us, Paul?
28531	Now would n''t it be queer if we managed to capture the yeggs and turn''em over to the authorities? 28531 Or was it the other bobcat that came around to smell the pelt of his mate, and gave you something of a tussle?"
28531	Perhaps we may-- who knows?
28531	Say, what are you hinting at now, Jud?
28531	See any tracks around?
28531	So he got his share of the honey, did he?
28531	So the shorter rascal did n''t have any fight in him, it seems, Tolly Tip?
28531	Still, they could n''t have done anything to Hank and his crowd, so why should they be pushed off the walk in that way?
28531	Tell us what sort of a trap, Tom?
28531	That was the end of Mr. Mastiff then, eh?
28531	That''s a fact, how about the broken window, Paul?
28531	Then it''s your opinion, is it, Jack, they''re still in that hole among the rocks Sim spoke of?
28531	Then you expect to investigate, and find out what it means, do you?
28531	Was any other person injured when the ice- house collapsed?
28531	Was it, too, about the fire and the robbery?
28531	We''d never think of minding a heavy fall at home, and why should we worry now?
28531	Well, do we go on again, Paul, or are you thinking of camping here for the rest of the night?
28531	Well, do you blame me then for feeling satisfied when we talk of going home?
28531	Well, what have scouts been learning woodcraft for if they ca n''t do a bit of spy work?
28531	Were they close enough for you to notice who they were?
28531	Were you in Stanhope, or did they happen to pass this way?
28531	What ails you now, Jud-- got a cramp in your leg, or do you think it''s time we stopped for a bite of lunch?
28531	What ails you, Bobolink?
28531	What are two measly miles, when such a glorious prospect looms up ahead of us?
28531	What do you mean?
28531	What do you see now, another owl?
28531	What else have you been doing besides catching that dandy mess of fish?
28531	What happened?
28531	What if there are too many to be accommodated either on the iceboats we own or in the cabin?
28531	What shall we do then?
28531	What would you do if you came face to face with the bear, or perhaps a panther?
28531	What''re you goin''to do to me, Paul?
28531	What''s that you say, Paul-- a storm, when the sun''s shining as bright as ever it could? 28531 What''s the reason?"
28531	What''s this I smell in the air?
28531	Where can it be, do you think?
28531	Where shall we start in to buy the stuff?
28531	Where that hill starts up, see? 28531 Who cares for such a little thing as snow piles?"
28531	Who''s all right? 28531 Why should I be favored over the rest of the crowd?
28531	Why, how did you know that?
28531	Wild honey did you say?
28531	Would it pay us to move around in a half circle, and let them keep the old path?
28531	Would you agree to keep your lips buttoned up, and not tell a word of what you have heard?
28531	You all remember, do n''t you, the old saying,''between eleven and two it''ll tell you what it''s going to do?'' 28531 You mean he feels more or less weak, do you?"
28531	You must mean wolves, do n''t you? 28531 You''ll have to set the trap to- night then, wo n''t you?"
28531	Am I right there, Tolly Tip?"
28531	And biscuits is it ye mane to thry in the mornin''?
28531	And look what he''s got, will you?"
28531	And what''s to hinder some of us from using our iceboats part of the way?"
28531	Are we going to start soon, Paul?"
28531	Are you all agreed to that part of the scheme?"
28531	Are you covering him, Jud?"
28531	Besides, who could get angry when engaged in such a glorious outing as that upon which they were now fully embarked?
28531	Bobolink said to his chum nearest him;"two of the Lawson crowd here, dodging about and grinning as if they thought it a picnic?"
28531	Briggs?"
28531	But how about the creek leading up to the cabin, Paul?
28531	CHAPTER X THE ACCUSATION"Can you guess where it is, Jack?"
28531	CHAPTER XIX NEWS OF BIG GAME"Faith and would ye mind tillin''me how that same might be done?"
28531	Could you find a better place for a fire than in that cove back of the point?"
28531	Course you committee of two looked after the grub supplies as you were directed?"
28531	Did n''t they, Jack?"
28531	Did you ask Mr. Garrity about it?"
28531	Do n''t you, fellows?
28531	Garrity?"
28531	Give us somethin''to eat, wo n''t you?
28531	Have you had a wireless from Washington?"
28531	How about it, Paul?"
28531	How about that, Tolly Tip?
28531	I do n''t suppose any of you care to stay up here much longer, now that this blizzard has spoiled all of the fun of camping out?"
28531	I hope you do n''t mean to evacuate this gory battle- ground without taking a look to see whether I dropped that other beast or not?"
28531	I hope you do n''t object to my joining you?"
28531	Is this fine weather apt to last much longer?"
28531	Jack, what shall we do about it?"
28531	Look yourself and tell me if that is n''t his tail twitching back and forth?"
28531	Mr. Garrity, can you hear me?"
28531	Now what''re you meanin''to do about it?
28531	Paul, did you hear that?"
28531	Paul, how about that now?"
28531	Shall I shoot?"
28531	Shall I tell you where it lies?"
28531	Shed a few tears for me once in a while, wo n''t you?"
28531	Show me the time the Banner Boy Scouts ever failed, will you, when they''d set their minds on doing anything worth while?
28531	So those fellows happened on the old bear den, did they?"
28531	Think it over, wo n''t you, boys?
28531	Tip, and all the little Tips?"
28531	Was it then the terrible thing happened?"
28531	Well, what did you do then?"
28531	What if night did overtake them before they got back to the Bushkill again?
28531	What next, Jack?
28531	What''s your plan?"
28531	Why do n''t some of you try to save my property?"
28531	You and Sandy went off with Tolly Tip, did n''t you, to see how he managed his traps?
28531	Your people have left me for other stores long ago, so why should I care?"
28531	ai n''t a feller a right to stop alongside of a church to strike a match for his pipe?"
28531	did you shoot some game, too-- a deer, a wildcat, or maybe a big black bear?"
28531	have you come to save us?
28531	how did it happen they tackled you two?"
28531	it''s about that ugly business, is it?"
28531	look there, will you, fellows?"
28531	so that''s the reason, is it?"
28531	that sounded like a big groan, did n''t it?
28531	that''s where the shoe pinches, is it?"
28531	then you ai n''t meanin''to gimme that duckin''after all?"
28531	wait for me, ca n''t you, fellows?"
28531	was there any one in the old building, do you know, Jan?"
28531	what do you think of that for a fake?"
28531	what do you think you heard?"
28531	what under the sun''s been going on here while we''ve been away?"
28531	what''s that he''s saying now about somebody setting his store afire on purpose?"
28531	what''s the use of saying that, Wallace Carberry, when everybody knows your strong suit is long- distance skating?
28531	what''s this I see?"
28531	who cares?"
28531	will you believe me when I say that I can see a small patch of blue sky up yonder-- big enough to make a Dutchmen''s pair of breeches?"
28531	will you?"
28531	would n''t it be a bully trick if we could take those two tramps back with us, having the goods on them?
26625	Am I to go alone?
26625	Am I to go into Hardport itself, sir?
26625	And this has tires that wo n''t be afraid of bullets or rocks, either, eh?
26625	Another of you?
26625	Are we to give our parole then, sir?
26625	Are you going to stick to the main road, Jack?
26625	Aw, g''wan, what''s eatin''youse?
26625	But how did you get here at all?
26625	But how did you get here, my boy? 26625 Ca n''t you see that we''re in uniform?"
26625	Can I bring Pete Stubbs and Tom Binns with us, sir?
26625	Can I have Tom Binns again, sir?
26625	Captain Durland?
26625	Could they have kept on, though? 26625 Danby, eh?
26625	Did n''t you know they were going to ask for it?
26625	Did they tell you of the way Jack''s been pursued by this fellow Broom?
26625	Do n''t you remember that they''re using smokeless powder in this war? 26625 Do they know how to run one?"
26625	Do you know that Captain Beavers is regarded as the most expert driver of automobiles in the regular army? 26625 Do you know that sounds like''Will you walk into my parlor?
26625	Do you know the enemy''s position now?
26625	Gee, Jack, I guess we''re all right, what?
26625	General Harkness''s staff, you mean, Jack? 26625 Have we got to tie him up?"
26625	Here, who are you, and where did you come from?
26625	How about that, Canfield? 26625 How about the Burtons, Pete?
26625	How about these Burtons, Dick? 26625 How are you, Danby?"
26625	How can that be, Jack? 26625 How can they tell whether we beat them or not, if we do n''t do any fighting?"
26625	How did you ever think of it?
26625	How did you get here?
26625	How do they decide things, Jack?
26625	How do you know that, my boy?
26625	How far are we from their headquarters now, Jack?
26625	How is that, sir?
26625	How is the battle going?
26625	How on earth did you get to me so quietly? 26625 How soon will that be?"
26625	Hum,he said, pulling his moustache, as he listened to them,"they fooled us, did n''t they?
26625	I am to report on the number and disposition of the enemy''s forces about Cripple Creek, then, sir?
26625	I think it''s going to be great sport, do n''t you, Jack?
26625	I wonder if they forgot about Broom, or if they thought I would?
26625	I''ll take my flags along, shall I, Jack?
26625	I''m to try to find out which line of attack they will follow, then, sir? 26625 If this were real war, and they saw us trying to escape, they would fire at us, would n''t they?"
26625	If you know all that about me, why do n''t you tell me?
26625	If you swing very far around that way it''ll take you pretty near Smithville, wo n''t it?
26625	Is n''t that the right way, too? 26625 Is she pretty, Dick, you sly old fox?"
26625	Is there anything more for us to do to- night, sir?
26625	It makes you feel good to think that they regard us as comrades in arms, does n''t it, Tom? 26625 It''s a good thing I sort of half disobeyed orders and came this way, is n''t it?"
26625	It''s a regular game, is n''t it, Jack?
26625	Looks like the real thing, does n''t it?
26625	Queer lookin''critter, is n''t it?
26625	Remember how we had to take to the fields a little way along here? 26625 Say, Jack, why could n''t we Boy Scouts build an aeroplane sometime?
26625	See how it''s done, Tom?
26625	Shall we cook breakfast for ourselves, Jack?
26625	Some countries have a much bigger army than we do, do n''t they, Jack?
26625	Suppose I told you that I knew all about you, and could tell you who you were and everything else you want to know? 26625 Suppose we ran into them, Jack?
26625	Suppose you do n''t get away, Jack? 26625 That means if General Bean gets to Newville in time, does n''t it, sir?"
26625	That was how the Boers made so much trouble for the English, too, was n''t it?
26625	That would be pretty risky, would n''t it, Jack?
26625	That''s nerve for you, eh? 26625 That''s what our men have been doing, eh?"
26625	That''s what we thought at the seashore, too, Pete, did n''t we?
26625	The great generals were regulars, though, were n''t they?
26625	The red- headed one and the little shaver? 26625 The telegraph was first used in our Civil War, was n''t it, sir?"
26625	Then how about the whole affair?
26625	Then nothing is likely to be decided to- morrow?
26625	Then they were n''t cowardly?
26625	They would n''t lie to us, would they, Jack?
26625	They''d have gone right into a trap if they had kept on for Newville, would n''t they?
26625	They''re being used in both armies, are n''t they?
26625	This is better for us, is n''t it, Jack? 26625 Times have changed, have n''t they, Jack?
26625	Trouble?
26625	Tryon Creek, eh?
26625	We certainly took enough trouble to get the right dope, did n''t we?
26625	What I want to know is whether we''re assumed to be shot, and have to stop if they see us and get a shot?
26625	What are our flying- machines doing, Jack? 26625 What are you doing here?"
26625	What are you goin''to do?
26625	What are you looking for, powder smoke?
26625	What command were you with? 26625 What do you mean, Jack?"
26625	What do you think it means, Jack?
26625	What do you think we''d better do, Jack?
26625	What does it seem like to you, Tom? 26625 What good will cutting a wire do, Jack?"
26625	What is it that does n''t make me glad like everyone else?
26625	What shall we do next, sir?
26625	What will happen then?
26625	What will they do now, Jack?
26625	What would they want to make a raid toward the Junction for?
26625	What''s he doing here?
26625	What''s next?
26625	What''s the matter with that engine, anyhow?
26625	What''s the use, Tom? 26625 What''s your name, eh?"
26625	What, are you in on this, too?
26625	When does the war begin?
26625	Where are the divisional headquarters to be to- day?
26625	Where are the umpires?
26625	Where are you going now, then?
26625	Where do we come in, Jack? 26625 Where is the main body of our army now, Jack?"
26625	Where is your brigade, Tomlinson?
26625	Where will you cross the line, Jack?
26625	Where''s the others?
26625	Who''s to blame for that, Jack?
26625	Why not, Pete?
26625	Why not? 26625 Will that be safe, Jack?
26625	Will there be any aeroplanes?
26625	Will there be any more fighting to- night, Captain?
26625	Will there be any real firing?
26625	Will we have any fortifications to defend at all, sir?
26625	You can go a lot faster than this, ca n''t you, Jack?
26625	You did n''t expect to see anything of the enemy the way we came, did you, Jack?
26625	You did n''t really disobey orders, did you, Jack?
26625	You do n''t mean to tell me that it was you who was driving that car?
26625	You do n''t think there can be any mistake about their intention to march by way of Tryon Creek, do you?
26625	You hear that?
26625	You leave out the most interesting part of your adventures when you think you can, do n''t you?
26625	You mean that they know the country so well that a small force of them could worry us and make a lot of trouble, even if we won all the big battles?
26625	You mean you''d really take the offensive as the best means of defense?
26625	You surely wo n''t think of meeting him, will you, Jack?
26625	You think you''re mighty smart, do n''t you?
26625	You walked into the trap all right, did n''t you?
26625	Your brigade commander is Beansy, I take it?
26625	And I wish you''d give me a list of those books you were talking about, will you?"
26625	And keep your eyes skinned for any sign that they''re after us with a motorcycle or anything like that, will you?"
26625	And what''s an automobile doing here at this time of night?"
26625	Anything doing here while we were gone?"
26625	Anything in that?"
26625	Are you on?"
26625	Are you sure you''re not too tired to handle your car?"
26625	Boy Scouts, eh?
26625	But suppose he interferes with us?
26625	But you wo n''t let him take you in by just pretending that he''s got something to tell you?"
26625	Can you see the next stations on both sides?"
26625	Can you send some of your Scouts over there to investigate?
26625	Coming, Jack?
26625	Could n''t anyone who came along run off with it?"
26625	Could they have a car?"
26625	Did you get what you were looking for?"
26625	Did you learn what General Harkness''s plans were?"
26625	Do n''t you think so?"
26625	Do you belong to Durland''s Troop?"
26625	Do you know if that''s so?"
26625	Do you really think that Jack is the boy they''re looking for, or is that just one of Pete''s wild guesses?"
26625	Do you suppose he''s heard about the way we blocked the railroad?"
26625	Do you think you can run that car?"
26625	Do you understand?"
26625	Have you found out yet whether they''re really Jack''s long- lost relatives or not?"
26625	He was really playing against himself, without knowing it, was n''t he?"
26625	Hey, Jack, where are you going?"
26625	How are we going to get out of here?"
26625	How on earth did you get back so soon?
26625	I think we''ve got a good chance to break one of their signalling relays, do n''t you see?"
26625	If the bridge is covered with guns, the theory is that the enemy could n''t do any work, eh?"
26625	Is that it?"
26625	Is that really you?
26625	It was by their daring in taking the offensive and striking quickly that they did that, you think?"
26625	Just what is a staff, anyhow?"
26625	Now will you talk to me?"
26625	Or suppose the chauffeur wants to leave the road and go''cross country?
26625	Say, Tom, do you know what they''ve done?
26625	Say, Tom, you can run the car, ca n''t you?"
26625	Scouts?"
26625	See, Tom?
26625	See, over there?"
26625	Shall I wait here?"
26625	That''s all the job I got, see?"
26625	Was that how the trouble came with Broom?"
26625	We''ll promise not to say a word about it, wo n''t we, Tom?"
26625	What am I to do after I leave the car?"
26625	What did General Bean say to you?"
26625	What do you think of it, Dick?"
26625	What is it that I am to do, sir?"
26625	What is it we''re supposed to do?"
26625	What more do you want?"
26625	What time am I to start from here?"
26625	Where are Stubbs and Binns?"
26625	Where does this road we''re on now come from?"
26625	Which way are you going now?"
26625	Who are you?"
26625	Will that satisfy you?"
26625	Will they let us?"
26625	Will you give me your word of honor?
26625	Would we be able to get word back in time to be of any use?"
26625	You can do it all right, ca n''t you?"
26625	You do n''t want to lose this car on its first trip, do you, Tom?"
26625	You heard about how Jack broke up the plot to wreck the train and rob it when he and Tom Binns were on a hike together?"
26625	You know all about Jack''s queer life up at Woodleigh-- about Old Dan and all that?"
26625	You know the State militia begins maneuvers pretty soon, Pete?"
26625	You''d have had a better time at Woodleigh if you''d had a name of your own, like all the other fellows, would n''t you?
26625	You''re still trying to find out about all that, are n''t you, Jack?"
26625	he cried,"it''s my old friend the Scout- Master, is n''t it?
32240	A message from the enemy; p''raps he''s goin''to Surrender unconditionally-- ain''t that the way they always put it?
32240	Ai n''t you goin''to get me out?
32240	Am I correct, Bob?
32240	An''yuh kim''way down this away jest tuh climb the mountings, an''see wot yuh cud do acampin''out without ary tents er blankets, did yuh?
32240	And I hope you read what we wrote, Phin Dady?
32240	And did he tell you; could he speak still, and explain?
32240	And does she know about you coming down here?
32240	And if it_ should_ turn out to be my poor father, wo n''t you try and help me get him free? 32240 And so that''s the way old hunters tell the time at night, do they?
32240	And unless I miss my guess, Polly here is going to give you another pleasant little surprise; ai n''t you, Polly?
32240	And was you arunnin''like fun all the while?
32240	And will you help me find out?
32240	Are we getting anywhere close to the place you said old Reuben lived at, Bob?
32240	Are you going to let me go free, Phin Dady?
32240	As what?
32240	But I hope you''re not going so far, Thad, as to keep us from having our regular camp- fire?
32240	But Polly, you_ could_ see him if you tried real hard, could n''t you?
32240	But did you get close enough to him to say a single word, Polly-- just to ask him who he was?
32240	But how in the wide world c''n I tell whose hat it is, Thad?
32240	But surely you would n''t think of changing your mind now?
32240	But what did you do; do n''t tell us you beat a big dog runnin''?
32240	But whoever started it rolling?
32240	Ca n''t a feller-- just stroll around camp-- without some silly putting out a foot, and tripping him up? 32240 Could it have been Old Phin?"
32240	D''ye mean thet ye do n''t hold no grudge agin me foh what I done tuh ye?
32240	D''ye reckon he''ll take our word for it; or believe it''s only one more clever dodge of the revenue men to get him when he''s napping?
32240	DID anybody happen to see my knapsack around?
32240	Did she do what you asked her?
32240	Did you hear what Nate called the wounded man, Thad, Allan?
32240	Did you see how many times I bowled the thing over, and only to have to defend myself again? 32240 Did yuh git him?"
32240	Do you know who he was?
32240	Do you live near here; and will you be able to limp home?
32240	Do you think you could hold on with one arm, and get the other through the loop?
32240	Got off pretty slick that time, eh, Davy?
32240	Had you done anything to the cat; or was it just crazy for a fight?
32240	He do n''t know what to make of us, seems like?
32240	Hey, would you see how fine a fire- tender that Giraffe is; it''s gone clean out, that''s what?
32240	How about that, Bob?
32240	How about that, Bumpus; was he an old man with a gray beard?
32240	How about that, Mr. Scoutmaster; is Step entitled to wear his badge that way, on account of helping that silly little bug climb his mountain?
32240	How are you, boys?
32240	How is it, Davy?
32240	How''d it do for Giraffe here to stay behind, and watch to see if that feller back of the rock pile gets the letter?
32240	I ca n''t find my hat, and that''s what?
32240	I hope that foot wo n''t keep you from walking?
32240	I leave it to the crowd if I was n''t only obeyin''orders? 32240 I reckon you stayed so long tryin''to convince her, Bob, that you clean forgot how you''d promised to get back here as soon as you could?"
32240	I see; and of course you jumped to the conclusion that it might be your own father, alive and well, though held a prisoner of the moonshiners?
32240	I wonder now, what is being carried along the lines? 32240 I wonder, now, just how far down I''d have had to go, if you had n''t been clever enough to grab me just in time?"
32240	If a bobcat jumped in on us right now, we''d think of using our gun, would n''t we? 32240 If it do n''t just beat the Dutch what happens to me?"
32240	If these mountaineers begin to get bothersome it might interfere some with that other little affair you spoke about?
32240	If you''d care to see how it''s done, why, we can walk out, and watch the scout who has the lantern?
32240	Is that the way you obey orders?
32240	It may work for good, who knows?
32240	It must be after the time we set, is n''t it, Thad?
32240	It_ was_ great luck, our running across Polly; and then the chance to do her a favor, could you beat it? 32240 Just hear how that sucks, will you, when I work my foot up and down?
32240	Look at Thad, would you?
32240	Look at the crowd, would you?
32240	My father?
32240	Never knew me to miss doin''that, did you, Step Hen?
32240	No relation of yours, I hope, then, Bob?
32240	Nothing could be easier, if only you''d put your mind to it, and think, Bob?
32240	Now, what in the wide world d''ye think they''re going to do?
32240	Put yourself in my place, and tell me what you would do if it was your own father who was held a prisoner, and you had long believed him dead? 32240 SHALL we go back the same way we came up?"
32240	Say, is that the way to treat a fellow you all have known so long? 32240 Say, what kind of natives do you have down here, Bob White?"
32240	Shall we take this kind advice, and go back, boys?
32240	So far we have n''t seen the first sign of a living thing?
32240	So you made pretty warm time of it over here, eh?
32240	So, thet''s it, younker, is it?
32240	Suppose you look in that bunch of grass, and find out if the little evil spirit that''s playing all these pranks on you is lying there?
32240	Suppose, then, she brings you that paper, and it turns out to be all you hope for? 32240 Sure you saw a man, are you, Bumpus?"
32240	Thad, you say?
32240	That''s across the valley, Bob?
32240	Then I take it that this Reuben Sparks does not live a great way beyond where we happen to be camped right now?
32240	Then you did talk with Bob?
32240	Then you saw your cousin, and got the paper?
32240	There, Step Hen, what did I tell you?
32240	Twa''n''t a rolling stone, now, I take it? 32240 Was your cousin at the place you told her about?"
32240	Well, what d''ye think I''ve got eyes for, if I do n''t know a biped when I see one?
32240	Well, will wonders ever stop happening?
32240	Well, would you blame him, when he was listening to such an interesting story as the one I had to tell?
32240	Were you and your mother living near here all that time, Bob?
32240	What are you thinking about, Bob White; you look as sober as though you did n''t just like the looks of things any too much?
32240	What can be done for him, Allan?
32240	What did Bob have to tell?
32240	What did I tell you, fellows, about not missing Dr. Philander Hobbs, our regular scoutmaster, on this hike? 32240 What did you learn?"
32240	What did you think of him, Thad?
32240	What does she say, Thad?
32240	What had I ought to do, Allan?
32240	What happened to him? 32240 What sort of-- horse play d''ye call that-- I''d like to know?"
32240	What wonderful stunt did you manage to carry through so early in the day, down in this forsaken country?
32240	What you goin''to do to me?
32240	What''s an old hat after all, to kick up such a row over it? 32240 What''s gone this time?"
32240	What''s he taking out of that crack in the rock?
32240	What''s that up yonder; looks to me like a torch moving?
32240	What''s that?
32240	What''s the matter now, Step Hen?
32240	Whatever are you looking for now, you poor silly thing?
32240	Whatever loosened it, d''ye s''pose?
32240	When can I see you again, Polly?
32240	Where''s Bob?
32240	Where?
32240	Who strapped that to my back?
32240	Who''ll go down, and yank him on to that tree?
32240	Why not?
32240	Will you take a little stroll around with me before lying down?
32240	Will you tell your father about this, Polly?
32240	Wonder how our real scoutmaster, Dr. Philander Hobbs''d like to take the job?
32240	Yes, I guessed that the first thing; and I suppose you mean he''d feel angry some if he saw two fellows in uniform following his trail?
32240	Yes, and was he pleased when he heard that, Polly?
32240	Yes, as modest as a spring violet,sang out Step Hen;"but how about that President Cornelius Jasper Hawtree business?
32240	Yes?
32240	You can see, Thad, that from where he lies he has a splendid view of the road we came over?
32240	You could see that too, could you, suh?
32240	You do n''t really think he''d go as far as to strike her, do you?
32240	You do n''t think now, do you,demanded the other,"that Old Phin might take a notion to waylay him, just to have a look at the eighth scout?"
32240	You hear what they say, Bob White?
32240	You mean part of the hillside caved away?
32240	You mean that Bertha has looked, and made a discovery among the papers in her guardian''s safe; is that it, Thad?
32240	You say you feel thankful that we happened along in time to drive that cat off; and you''d be willing to do something for us in return?
32240	Yuh war sayin''right now, thet these hyar byes hain''t never''xpectin''ter be sojers; an''thet they do n''t kerry arms; air thet a fack?
32240	Ai n''t it lucky he c''n stretch his neck so far?
32240	An''he''vited yer pal over ter see him, did he, so''s ter tell him a heap more?"
32240	And I guess you''ve heard it before, judging from the way you act?"
32240	And Smithy, will you hand me that stick yonder?"
32240	And say, do I limp when I walk, because I''m feeling a little sore?"
32240	And what''s supper, without a cup of coffee?"
32240	Anybody got two hats on?"
32240	Anybody seen my cap around; my hair stood up on end with the scare, and I must have dropped it?
32240	Besides, did they not know that both Bob and his father would be fairly wild to hasten to the waiting mother and wife in that Northern home?
32240	But I see you''ve got your badge right- side up to- day, all to the good, Step Hen; what wonderful stunt have you been pulling off now?"
32240	But I wonder what they_ do_ mean to do?"
32240	But Polly, you talked with him, did n''t you?"
32240	But how were they going to get down to the faraway camp?
32240	But if it should, perhaps you''ve seen how I did the job, and you could fix it up again?"
32240	But may I ask why you put that question to me, Bumpus?"
32240	But what under the sun was it hit us?"
32240	But will it go straight; that''s the question?"
32240	D''ye think now, he could have said all that one- half as good as Thad did?
32240	Did n''t you call out to me to come down?
32240	Do you know if that is so?
32240	Do you see him now, Bob?"
32240	Do_ you_ know anything about my knapsack, Giraffe?"
32240	Does it pay to try and make speed at such a terrible risk?"
32240	Eight thar was; whar be the other right now?"
32240	Had he then determined to wait for the return of the eighth scout?
32240	How about that, Bob?"
32240	How about that, Davy?"
32240	How about that, fellows?"
32240	How could it be done, Allan?"
32240	How''re you goin''to fix it, Allan?
32240	How''s that, Thad?"
32240	I wonder if this meeting is only an accident; or was guided by the hand of fate?"
32240	I wonder what it was, fellows?"
32240	I''m hungry, fellers; who says grub?"
32240	If it was Giraffe now--""Here, you just let up on Giraffe, and pay attention to what Allan''s goin''to tell you; hear?"
32240	Is that it, Bob?"
32240	It''d be a great stunt, Thad, if we could read the signs, and listen to the talk, would n''t it?
32240	Now do you see?"
32240	Now, are we going on again, since we''ve left our wonderful message for Old Phin?"
32240	Or it could n''t have been a frisky little''coon''or''possum,''I suppose?"
32240	Perhaps you have heard your father speak of them?
32240	Polly, however can I thank you?"
32240	Ready to make it again?
32240	Remember that man we saw sitting on the rock with his gun between his knees?
32240	Savvy?"
32240	Shall we go back to camp now, Thad?"
32240	Some of you scouts ought to take pattern from the smartness of that little girl; do n''t you think so, Thad?"
32240	Take a drop, wo n''t you, please?"
32240	Tell me that, now?"
32240	Thet''s what I went up thar fur, ai n''t it?"
32240	They get more and more interesting the deeper you dip in; ai n''t that so, Thad?"
32240	Was he shot?
32240	We''ve never had a President Hawtree; but that ai n''t no reason we never will, is it?
32240	Well, did n''t I?"
32240	What d''ye s''pose they could find to shoot at in the dark?"
32240	What d''ye suppose makes a smart scamp like that ever do such a silly thing?"
32240	What if Polly should n''t be on hand?
32240	What ye want me to do?"
32240	What''s the need of carrying such a thing, if it ca n''t help us out in a pinch?"
32240	Where would Reuben have been if he''d stayed there?
32240	Where''d you get this old thing, anyhow, Giraffe?"
32240	Who would n''t make an extra effort for that?"
32240	Whoever heard of a Southern boy unwilling to act in similar circumstances?
32240	Will Phin Dady let him go free if he makes that promise, Polly?"
32240	Will you help me do it?"
32240	Wonder what they find to talk about?"
32240	Would Bertha meet him; or might she have been shut up in the house by her guardian, stern Reuben Sparks?
32240	Would Mr. Quail, who must be weak on account of having been kept in the cavern so long, be able to stand the rough trip?
32240	Would he never go?
32240	Would you blame me, Polly?"
32240	You have n''t forgotten that terrible time, Polly, have you?"
32240	You''ve heard more or less about this, too, have n''t you, Polly?"
32240	ai n''t that the moonshiner we heard so much about over in Asheville?"
32240	are you there, old sobersides?"
32240	did you see him kick his heels at us as he went down?"
32240	is he smashed flatter''n a pancake?"
32240	listen to that, would you?"
32240	shouted Giraffe, waving his long arms;"do n''t you hear what Allan says?
32240	tell me you''uns, whar be the other one?
32240	what d''ye think that means?"
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?"
45547	''I ca n''t, eh? 45547 ''Where''s the best place to hit you?''
45547	Alive?
45547	And did you get him out?
45547	And hunt the lion? 45547 And is he here-- alive?"
45547	And these runaway boys have done about all of it, have n''t they?
45547	And we could take some grapple hooks--"We?
45547	And who shot him?
45547	Are you goin''to fix up your aeroplane again, or get a new one?
45547	Are you going to quit flying?
45547	Behind what?
45547	Break the ground?
45547	But what''s become of the boy? 45547 But why not find the gun first?
45547	C- can''t we break the ground here and make the stone fall down?
45547	Ca n''t one of you offer a possible explanation?
45547	Ca n''t we go with you and hunt for Hal?
45547	Can I?
45547	Can you tell me where you got it?
45547	Could n''t you find him?
45547	Did Smash fall off his ear?
45547	Did a burglar break in?
45547	Did anybody see Hal or hear his voice on the way back?
45547	Did he break his neck?
45547	Did n''t you ever know anything you could n''t prove?
45547	Did n''t you have any with you, or had n''t you gathered any yet?
45547	Did you find anything in the cave that tended to prove your suspicion?
45547	Did you find the gun?
45547	Did you meet him afterward?
45547	Did you put me in it or did Pepper?
45547	Do n''t you believe he had a bag of souvenirs?
45547	Do n''t you hear it?
45547	Do n''t you see we''re standing on granite? 45547 Do you think he swallowed it?"
45547	Do you think he''s comin''here?
45547	Does everybody call it that?
45547	Everybody here?
45547	First, do you all know what a biplane is?
45547	Frank, Frank, what is the matter? 45547 Frank, what_ is_ the matter?"
45547	Have you found a way down?
45547	Hello, Hal, what''s the matter?
45547	How about that weight?
45547	How about the fish?
45547	How did it get into the cave then?
45547	How do you know he took them?
45547	How do you know?
45547	How do you suppose they got up here?
45547	How in the world are we ever going to get out of this?
45547	How we going to go?
45547	How would it get there?
45547	How?
45547	How?
45547	How?
45547	I do n''t, eh?
45547	If he did, what became of it? 45547 If it''s a panther or a lynx, where do you suppose it is?"
45547	In the airship?
45547	In the airship?
45547	In the cañon?
45547	Is he killed?
45547	Is that so?
45547	Is that so?
45547	Is that true?
45547	It came near being a pretty serious trap, did n''t it? 45547 It may explain, may it not, what became of Hal?"
45547	Just so we do n''t call you down, eh?
45547	Kenyon missing? 45547 Like the one you fell in?"
45547	Make it up yourself?
45547	Maxwell was his name?
45547	Not_ Bad_?
45547	Nothing? 45547 Now what are we going to do next?"
45547	Now, who''s going to tell us a story about the mummy?
45547	Oh!--when will it be here?
45547	Oh- h--groaned Bad,"what shall I do?
45547	Out o''the water? 45547 Out o''where-- the cave?"
45547	Ready to go now?
45547	See? 45547 The Boy Scouts_ of the Air_?"
45547	Was Dr. Edwards hurt?
45547	Was n''t that a funny place for cliff dwellers to build their homes?
45547	Well, boys,he said slowly, wiping his glasses with his handkerchief,"what do you think of yourselves?
45547	Well, what do you think of it, boys?
45547	Well, what''s the difference? 45547 Well, where would you suggest that we hunt first?"
45547	Well, who has something more to add to the story of Flathead?
45547	What became of your specimens?
45547	What do the rest of you think?
45547	What do you mean?
45547	What do you think it is-- a ghost?
45547	What else have we here?
45547	What for? 45547 What good will that do us?"
45547	What have you to say to it, Hal?
45547	What in the world does that mean?
45547	What is a plane?
45547	What is it?
45547	What kind is it going to be?
45547	What then?
45547	What will the new aeroplane look like?
45547	What would I do here without you? 45547 What you going to do?
45547	What you going to do? 45547 What you kids up to?"
45547	What''s his name?
45547	What''s that?
45547	What''s that?
45547	What''s that?
45547	What''s the Ozone?
45547	What''s the difference between a biplane and a monoplane?
45547	What''s the matter?
45547	What''s the matter?
45547	What''s the name of this cañon?
45547	What''s up, Bad?
45547	When are we going?
45547	When are you going to begin work?
45547	When you goin'', Hal?
45547	Where are the others?
45547	Where are the rest of them?
45547	Where are you, Hal?
45547	Where did you get it?
45547	Where have you been?
45547	Where is Hal?
45547	Where is it?
45547	Where you found my bag of souvenirs?
45547	Where you going to- night?
45547	Where you going-- home?
45547	Where you going?
45547	Where''d you get that story?
45547	Where''s Frank?
45547	Where''s the lion?
45547	Where''s your gun?
45547	Who is he?
45547	Why did n''t you say something about it? 45547 Why did n''t you throw it away?"
45547	Why did n''t you turn it over to me with the bag?
45547	Why me? 45547 Why not, Hal?"
45547	Wo n''t do what any more?
45547	Would he jump at me or would he jump back? 45547 Yes, why not?"
45547	You can make''em all in half an hour, ca n''t you?
45547	You did n''t find any rubies or garnets or streaks of gold there, did you?
45547	You found a nugget in the cave, did you?
45547	You hit the horse, did n''t you?
45547	You mean that the beast killed him?
45547	You think it fell to the ground with the aeroplane?
45547	You think somebody put it there?
45547	You was n''t?
45547	You will know it all, will you?
45547	And can we all have a ride?"
45547	And yet, it''s as simple as A- B- C.""In what way?"
45547	Are you proud of what you have done, or do you agree that such an escapade deserves something of a reckoning?"
45547	As they were leaving the cañon, Dr. Byrd inquired:"What kind of place is that cave, Hal?"
45547	But Mr. Porter had a high, shrill voice, and when he sang out with all his strength"Oh, Hal, where are you?"
45547	But do n''t you think you made a mistake by running away?
45547	But what are we going to eat?
45547	But what does all this mean?"
45547	But what you going to run away for, Hal?
45547	But where should they make their home?
45547	Buy another airship?"
45547	CHAPTER VIII HAL''S DISCOVERY Meanwhile, what had become of Hal Kenyon?
45547	CHAPTER XIX THE RESCUING AIRSHIP"How do you know?"
45547	CHAPTER XXIV MOUNTAIN LION BRIDGE"How you going to spend your holiday?"
45547	Can you explain that so we can understand how it keeps the ship from turning over?"
45547	Can you make yourself comfortable in there until morning?
45547	Dared he risk it?
45547	Did it just happen to come untied from the strut at that time?
45547	Did n''t you find them?"
45547	Do you mean to say that I stole it?"
45547	For a while they did nothing but eat and drink, but at last Pickles inquired:"How did you know we was here?"
45547	Frank nodded understandingly, and Hal continued in the same manner as before:"Do you see that thing on the floor of the cave?
45547	Frankland?"
45547	Hence, what are the rest of us?
45547	His only hope-- but was there any hope at all?
45547	How could he, unless somebody found one of our arrows?
45547	How could it have been a boy?"
45547	How would you boys like to visit the top of Flathead again?"
45547	How-- in the world did you get out?"
45547	I''ll--""Clout it in the jaw?"
45547	Is it the nugget?"
45547	Is that what made you run away so fast?
45547	Is that what makes you look so sick?
45547	Miles looked with keen amusement at the last questioner and replied with a wink:"Do I look like a quitter?"
45547	Nothing left, is there?"
45547	Oh, what will I do?
45547	Pickles, you''re not afraid to go first, are you?"
45547	Porter?"
45547	Save my life by running away and getting the cat to follow you?"
45547	Should n''t you have remained here and faced the music?"
45547	The idea seemed ridiculous; and yet what other explanation of their manner and actions could be given?
45547	Then he added in a tone of astonishment:"And where did you get that gun?"
45547	There was a general note of approval, and Dr. Byrd inquired:"Well, what shall it be first?"
45547	They passed beyond his vision, as on former occasions, and before long he caught Mr. Porter''s shrill"Oh, Hal, where are you?"
45547	Try to grapple it first or dive?"
45547	Understand?"
45547	Was it possible that they did not know where he was?
45547	Was it you that shot?
45547	Were the contents of the bag valuable?"
45547	What could have happened to Frank?
45547	What could he do?
45547	What could they do?
45547	What could this mean?
45547	What did I tell you?"
45547	What did I tell you?"
45547	What does this mean?"
45547	What for?"
45547	What shall we call the waterfall itself?"
45547	What will I do?
45547	What would he think when he came out and found no Bad in the water?
45547	What you been doing with the gun?"
45547	What''d you do?
45547	What''s that?"
45547	Where did you drop them?"
45547	Where is he?"
45547	Who has an idea now?"
45547	Who''s going on the next trip?"
45547	Why did they not ford the river at once and come up on the other side?
45547	Why did you decide to run away, Hal?"
45547	Why did you hide it in your pocket and keep still?
45547	Why not stop here, build a fire, and sit around and talk a while?"
45547	Why not?
45547	Why should they not share the glory alike?
45547	Why, what''s the matter?"
45547	Would n''t it be a lark to climb up under the bridge and stretch himself out along the timbers and wait there for Hal?
45547	You''ll be here when I come back?"
5981	''Then what?'' 5981 ''Where is Rika?"
5981	Advertise?
5981	And it was some ride, was n''t it, Ivan?
5981	Are those the spies? 5981 Are we going to spend our lives here, or are we going home?"
5981	Are you nearly ready? 5981 Babies all drink milk, do n''t they?
5981	Better that than not at all, eh, Martha?
5981	Ca n''t we find them for you?
5981	Ca n''t you even remember what they looked like?
5981	Ca n''t you remember anything they said?
5981	Did you hear the conversation?
5981	Did you see?
5981	Do n''t be any longer than you can, will you, boys?
5981	Do n''t you know me?
5981	Do n''t you see the chain on the inside of the door?
5981	Do n''t you think that it would be safe now for us to go back home?
5981	Do you expect me to sit idly here while my youngest child needs my protection?
5981	Do you know how to drive? 5981 Do you know where she is?"
5981	Do you know,she said,"I feel as though everyone besides ourselves is hurt or lost or dead or kidnapped?
5981	Do you want to be beaten?
5981	Do you want your head broken again?
5981	Do you?
5981	Does the German army cause that too?
5981	Eat?
5981	Eat?
5981	Have you any money at all?
5981	Have you any money?
5981	Have you, honest?
5981	How can I bear this for you?
5981	How far to Lodz?
5981	How is that? 5981 How more so?"
5981	How old is she?
5981	How?
5981	I do n''t see but what I am all right, but does n''t Jack look cuty- cute? 5981 I will not give them one single meal, do, you hear that?"
5981	I wish we could change, but how can we?
5981	Is Jack with him? 5981 Is n''t he clever?"
5981	Is she dead?
5981	Is that the real reason why you are going to shoot him as a spy?
5981	Is this yours?
5981	It does n''t help, does it?
5981	Ivan,said the tall boy at the window,"did you hear what the three people at the door were talking about?
5981	Just over the hill?
5981	Now will you be silent?
5981	Oh, father, father, what shall we do?
5981	Professor Morris, do you understand that you are here facing a most serious charge?
5981	Remains here?
5981	Rika-She had no chance to continue--"Rika?"
5981	Said I not that I have my own way?
5981	See what?
5981	So you too help yourself in these war times?
5981	Suppose they do not eat?
5981	Tell me where is she? 5981 The girl?"
5981	Those work clothes? 5981 Tired?"
5981	Two?
5981	Walk?
5981	Warren?
5981	Was it something I said?
5981	Well, well, what is it?
5981	Well, well, where is Elinor?
5981	Well, what do you know about that?
5981	Well, what would you?
5981	Well, where is it, anyway?
5981	Well, you could make her recognize whose son you are, could n''t you?
5981	What ails the thing? 5981 What ails you?"
5981	What are you going to do?
5981	What did he do?
5981	What did she try to tell you?
5981	What do you think you are going to do, Ivanovich?
5981	What do you want to do about it?
5981	What do you want with us?
5981	What does it all mean?
5981	What does it all mean?
5981	What else do you carry, little rat?
5981	What happened then?
5981	What happened?
5981	What is it?
5981	What is the trouble?
5981	What is the use of hurrying things so? 5981 What is your idea exactly?"
5981	What now?
5981	What of that?
5981	What shall we give it?
5981	What think you would cry like that-- spirits?
5981	What will you give-- a dozen dried fishes?
5981	What with?
5981	What would we want of eavesdroppers and spies? 5981 What would you?"
5981	What''s that?
5981	What''s the matter with my clothes?
5981	What''s the matter?
5981	What''s the red cross flag on it I wonder?
5981	What''s the trouble?
5981	What''s the use?
5981	What, did I tell you, Gustav?
5981	When do you suppose we will start?
5981	Where are we, anyway?
5981	Where are you going when you get to the city?
5981	Where are you going?
5981	Where is father?
5981	Where is she?
5981	Where is she?
5981	Where is there a place where I can get them something else to wear?
5981	Where is your father, Ignace?
5981	Where shall we go, I wonder?
5981	Where was he injured, Ignaee?
5981	Who are you?
5981	Who are you?
5981	Who is she then?
5981	Who knows how many hours we have been on guard here? 5981 Why blacken our souls further than we must?"
5981	Why do n''t you show a little, mercy at the first?
5981	Why laugh?
5981	Why not? 5981 Why not?"
5981	Why not?
5981	Why waste words? 5981 Will you explain your notes?"
5981	Will you wait until I finish? 5981 Wo n''t we?"
5981	Wo n''t your bonds hold as long as necessary? 5981 Yes,"he said,"when the men came up, they said,''What have you?''
5981	You could n''t see the rats, could you?
5981	You have not heard him talk, have you?
5981	You say you have no money? 5981 You see, do n''t you, Warren?"
5981	You send me for this cloak and when I returned, what did I find in the room where I had left everyone of the household gathered ready for the flight? 5981 You will spy, will you?
5981	You,he said to Ivan,"you see this gun?
5981	Your American hustle- on; that means act quickly, does it not?
5981	And in order to bring her to a proper idea of your goodness and charm, you shoot her father and brother- do you shoot her brother, by the way?"
5981	And will you not ask us to the palace some day soon?
5981	And you know the sudden bombardment, so close to the city, was so terrible that you would not let me go home?
5981	Answer, Michael, what did you find out?"
5981	Come, come, young one, what will you- obedience or a broken head?"
5981	Did I tell you he was an American?
5981	Did n''t you say you knew that Princess what- is- her- name that owns this car?"
5981	Did you bring what I asked?"
5981	Did you ever hear a man talk so fast and so much and use such words?
5981	Did you save any of the motor cars?"
5981	Do n''t you think so?"
5981	Do they run?
5981	Do you realize the seriousness of this affair?"
5981	Do you remember the yellow- haired child I trained about ten years ago?
5981	Do you remember those chaps we saw in Switzerland?
5981	Do you see that door?
5981	Do you suppose the dub knows how to drive?"
5981	Do you think any other man you know would have left those children a minute in a time like this?"
5981	Give up my fire and light and food?
5981	Have you made any plans?"
5981	Have you seen my baby?
5981	Have you your jewels?"
5981	How can I tell?"
5981	How could they have gone off?"
5981	How had it happened that she had foreseen this dreadful mischance clearly enough, in some mysterious way, to plan the delivery of the saving message?
5981	How will we get out of here?
5981	I am in command, my friend, and if I think I have a spy, and see that it is my duty to stand this man up against a wall, then what?
5981	I know she is dead; I almost pray that she is, but how can I ever rest until I know?"
5981	I suppose you do n''t want to kill them?"
5981	I thought they were safe-- and my book-- Warren, surely you do not blame me for getting my book?"
5981	I wish you could come, but you see how it is, do n''t you?"
5981	In how many days,"he demanded,"with those children at heel?"
5981	Is it?"
5981	Is n''t it like a fairy tale to think that we had little Rika all the time?"
5981	Is n''t it so, my Michael?"
5981	It''s her own sister''s house, is n''t it?"
5981	Must I give you one, or will you come with me peaceably?"
5981	Now do you understand?"
5981	Oh, how can I ever be thankful enough to you for your goodness to her?"
5981	Oh, what shall we do?
5981	Say, what''s father going to do?"
5981	Shall we trust the cars?
5981	So it was with a feeling of pity for the weary little feet that he asked,"Where do we go tonight?
5981	So we hurried out, and managed to escape the soldiers, and get here and then everyone cried out,''Where are the children?''"
5981	Suppose I go and look for them?"
5981	Then what could they do if the house was deserted?"
5981	They say simply,"Kill me?
5981	Warren knew that he must gain access to the den, but how?
5981	Well, what did you say then, stupid?"
5981	Were her senses leaving her?
5981	What ails the car?"
5981	What are we going to do?"
5981	What are you thinking of?
5981	What can be said?"
5981	What chance have you here now in this stricken land?
5981	What did that mean?
5981	What did they say?
5981	What did you think to steal of honest men as poor as yourselves?
5981	What do you mean?"
5981	What do you think of that?"
5981	What do you think?"
5981	What do you think?"
5981	What had happened?
5981	What if his notes are a code?
5981	What was his book, a dry thing of many pages, when he compared it to the needs of the dear children who had been so loyal and so true to him?
5981	What will I do?
5981	What will I do?"
5981	What, and have you get the credit of all my labor?
5981	Where can one sell jewels these days when one can not cross the border, and when the world cracks?
5981	Where can we find something rough for you to wear?"
5981	Who was there to help?
5981	Who will take care of us then if we do not train these children?"
5981	Why do you bother with them, Michael Paovla, why did you bring them here?
5981	Why do you suppose boys like Ivan here are watched every second?
5981	Why should a man like you read?
5981	Why should any soldiers molest American citizens?
5981	Why should we?"
5981	Will that help thee?"
5981	Will you kindly repeat your account?"
5981	Will you not explain?"
5981	Wonder who drives it?
5981	Would you like to come with me, Evelyn?"
5981	You do n''t suppose your friend in Warsaw would like to keep it?"
5981	You remember, do n''t you, that I came to your house as usual, five days ago, for my lessons in English?
5981	cried Professor Morris, and Evelyn, and Jack, and again,"Rika?"
5981	said Ignace; then suddenly,"Where is my little Rika?"
5981	said the woman"What are they up to, do you think?"
5981	she commanded, and when the child''s frightened eyes sought her face she said,"You are to beg for your supper, do you hear?
46968	A regular American Wild West show over here in Belgium, raking in the coin this last summer? 46968 All through?"
46968	And Bumpus, after all what does it matter how you get to Antwerp so long as you pull up there sooner or later?
46968	And could we be allowed to keep on to Antwerp, sir?
46968	And do you notice the gray uniforms they are wearing?
46968	And how far from Antwerp?
46968	And this is really Belgium we''re running over?
46968	And you mean to take it, do you, Thad?
46968	Are you only saying that in a general way, or do you know something?
46968	But are you a German?
46968	But could n''t you make an exception in our case?
46968	But if you had the chance again would you allow it to be done?
46968	But if, as you say, you were in Germany when the Kaiser''s troops crossed over into Belgium, how happens it you are here? 46968 But we do n''t mean to give up yet, do we?"
46968	But what can we do when the whole country is just swarming with soldiers, all heading in the direction of the border?
46968	But what do you suppose this means, Thad?
46968	But what on earth could he be doing away up there?
46968	But why does this young m''sieu speak the hated language?
46968	But, Thad, that does n''t mean we''ve got to hand them over the old car, does it?
46968	But, Thad,objected Allan,"you know what we heard about all cars?
46968	Did he act as if he felt disappointed at our wanting to stand guard over our old car?
46968	Did they only get their heads together and talk?
46968	Did you ask him if he cared to sell the old trap, Giraffe?
46968	Did you pick up any information worth while, Giraffe?
46968	Do n''t you see which way they''re going?
46968	Do n''t you understand that German is in bad favor through Belgium just now? 46968 Do we give up the ship at the first storm, Thad?"
46968	Do we have to give in so tamely as all that?
46968	Do we take the right or the left branch?
46968	Do you know what I believe?
46968	Do you like being a freak?
46968	Do you mean by a ferry?
46968	Do you mean for their own use, Giraffe?
46968	Do you mean he thinks we want to consider him our prisoner?
46968	Do you mean we''ll hoof it, Thad?
46968	Do you really mean that we''re going to start out into the west, Thad?
46968	Do you suspect the landlord knows anything about the raid, if there is going to be one?
46968	Do you think he would go to the trouble to inform some of the military authorities of his suspicions, and get them after us?
46968	Failing that,said Giraffe,"what''s to hinder hiring a farmer and his horse to pull the machine along to town?
46968	Find out what bust, Thad?
46968	Gas tank getting low, is it?
46968	Germans?
46968	Giraffe, would you mind bending over and pinching me?
46968	Guess you know now why your dad would n''t let you learn to run your big touring car at home, do n''t you, Bumpus?
46968	He did n''t say how many there were in this bunch, did he, Thad?
46968	He took the money, of course?
46968	Hold on, Bumpus, you forget that you''ve got a game leg, do n''t you?
46968	How about getting rid of the boat that''s carried us down the Rhine so splendidly?
46968	How about taking us on his ferryboat, Giraffe?
46968	How are they doing now?
46968	How are we going to get him down?
46968	How can it be reached from this road?
46968	How do we know but what these Belgians are so patriotic they think it only right strangers should be made to contribute to the good of their army? 46968 How far away is Rotterdam, Thad?"
46968	How far away is the town you mention?
46968	How goes the mad whirl now, Allan?
46968	How many others did he talk to, Giraffe?
46968	I hope you have n''t changed your mind, Thad?
46968	I hope you will not think it necessary to detain us, sergeant?
46968	I only hope she holds out till we''re safe over the border, do n''t you, Giraffe?
46968	I should say so; and you could n''t change it, I suppose?
46968	I wonder how far we''ll get before they jump out at us?
46968	I wonder now if that can be an inn we see ahead there?
46968	I''m wondering what that queer far- off throbbing sound can be?
46968	If he does n''t show up could n''t we take charge of the boat and run her across to the other side?
46968	If we had to come to it, would you try to get across the line there, Thad?
46968	Is that a fact?
46968	Is there an inn in that town, Giraffe?
46968	Is there any one here who talks English?
46968	Limberg, you said, did n''t you, Allan?
46968	Look here,said Thad, sternly,"did you try any of your German on them?"
46968	Looks as if we''re bound to run the whole gamut of car troubles before we''re done with this machine, does n''t it?
46968	Mebbe it''s that silly old gas tank again?
46968	Of course we strike out over the middle one, Thad?
46968	Ought we to keep on and try to get across that bridge, Thad?
46968	Remember what Thad said about our hanging to you all the way through, do n''t you? 46968 Saw what, a boa constrictor from the menagerie?"
46968	Say, do you really believe motors can understand the English language?
46968	Say, looky here what''s bearing down on us, Thad, will you?
46968	See him take in our little American flags, will you?
46968	See that tall, bushy tree, Thad?
46968	Sure of what?
46968	Tell me about that, will you?
46968	Thad, do you take any stock in that idea?
46968	Thad, how''s it coming on?
46968	Thad, it might be they thought we left something valuable in the car, such as a pair of expensive field- glasses, you know?
46968	Thad, of course we''re bound to strike that river again, if we keep on heading into the northwest?
46968	Thad, what would you call that thing away off yonder? 46968 Thad, you would n''t think of going on and leaving him there, I hope?"
46968	That means the man up yonder will turn out to be a German aviator, does n''t it, Thad?
46968	That would mean if it kept on straight it would finally bring up at the Holland border, would n''t it?
46968	That''s queer,muttered the fat scout, who would not stay squelched;"why do people go around taking cars if not for themselves, I''d like to know?"
46968	Then I go, do I, Thad?
46968	Then perhaps you can give us an idea what causes it?
46968	Then they want to make us an offer for the car in the morning?
46968	Then we stop over, do we?
46968	Then why should you hesitate about starting along that one?
46968	Then you claim that this man whom you aided was a German aviator, do you?
46968	Then you''ve been having a hard time, I take it?
46968	They did n''t offer to bother you, did they, Giraffe?
46968	Think he''ll get clear of his enemies, Thad?
46968	Think of me taking all that trouble for a fike not much bigger''n a postage stamp?
46968	Think we want you to get choking pretty soon, and scare us half to death?
46968	Thinking about your grub, ai n''t you, Bumpus?
46968	This one has been brought up on either German or French, and how would it know I was boasting? 46968 Thought I was never coming, did n''t you?"
46968	Was it our car they looked over?
46968	Was it that note you just took from under the lining of your hat?
46968	Was that it about a mile back, leading off to the right as we came along?
46968	We can only hope it serves our purpose, and after that who cares?
46968	Well, how much further do we have to go before we get to the Dutch line?
46968	Well, talking is n''t going to help us any, so what do you say we get busy?
46968	Well, what''s to be done about it?
46968	What about the car, Thad?
46968	What about you, Allan?
46968	What ails the old shebang, Thad?
46968	What ails you, Giraffe?
46968	What are you aiming to do next?
46968	What can I do, Thad?
46968	What can have happened to cause it?
46968	What did he say about Grevenbroich, Giraffe?
46968	What do you figure can be the matter, Thad?
46968	What do you think has gone wrong, Thad?
46968	What do you think he means to do, now he''s got the money?
46968	What for, Thad?
46968	What for?
46968	What if he does n''t show up to- night, Thad?
46968	What is his lowest figure in cash?
46968	What is it, Giraffe?
46968	What is it?
46968	What makes you say so?
46968	What makes you think it''s the crossing where we strike Holland?
46968	What might that be?
46968	What shall we do now, Thad?
46968	What were you limping about the last part of the way, Bumpus?
46968	What''s all the row about, Giraffe?
46968	What''s coming next, Thad?
46968	What''s the idea in doing that?
46968	What''s the last word about this business, Thad?
46968	What''s the plan of campaign, then, Thad?
46968	What''s this?
46968	What''s wrong now?
46968	What, is there another chapter to the story?
46968	When danger comes along a scout should n''t say,''How many are there of the enemy,''but just shout out,''Where are they, so I can get busy?''
46968	Where did you get this car?
46968	Where''s poor little Benjy, Giraffe?
46968	Why should it, Giraffe?
46968	Why, hello-- we did n''t make all that dust back there, did we?
46968	Why, is this really the mouth of the Rhine?
46968	Why, what does your chart say?
46968	Will Great Britain fight, do you think, Thad?
46968	Will we have to turn back again so as to keep from having a row?
46968	Would it pay us to make an offer for the discard?
46968	Would you know the name of this German Taube operator if you heard it again, boy?
46968	Yes, that''s easy for you to say,complained poor Bumpus,"but think of me, wo n''t you?
46968	Yet you have been allowed to proceed this far in peace, it seems?
46968	You do n''t blame me, I feel sure, Giraffe?
46968	You do n''t think they bothered our car, do you, Thad?
46968	You do n''t think they''ll burn the house, do you, Thad?
46968	You''re a bit worried for fear we''ll run smack into some of the fighting that seems to have been going on over that way-- is that it, Thad?
46968	Are we intending to haul off and try to defend ourselves, or do we just throw up our hands and tell''em we surrender?
46968	But have you arranged your plan, Thad?
46968	But how far do we have to go, Allan?"
46968	But if both of them happened to be crippled that would n''t keep me from feeling hungry, would it?"
46968	But we agreed to make the best of it, and so what''s the use of knocking?"
46968	Did you ever hear of one of his kind shoving any cold cash aside when it was offered to him?"
46968	Get that name, do you?"
46968	Giraffe remarked;"but I say, what''s going to happen, now that you''ve pulled up here at the forks?"
46968	Giraffe, you''re a good friend of mine, ai n''t you?
46968	Have I your permission to tell you about this adventure, sir?"
46968	He can scent an onion frying half a mile away, ca n''t you, Bumpus?"
46968	He was not much surprised when the officer demanded:"Could you tell from the build of the aeroplane what sort of a machine it may have been, boy?"
46968	How can I spring like a frog when she starts to go backward down the hill again?
46968	How could it be otherwise when he had the backing of such loyal chums?
46968	How could we look back without turning fiery red every time we remembered such a cowardly act?
46968	I wonder how it would do for me to shout out that word as we come up?"
46968	I''m shivering yet with the excitement; just feel my hand, will you, Giraffe?"
46968	I''m wet up to my knees, all right; but I got dear little Benjy, did n''t I?"
46968	I''ve got a blanket here for you, see?"
46968	If anything exciting comes along just give me a jolt, will you, Bumpus?"
46968	If it should shrink when he tried to dry it, whatever would he do for another?"
46968	If the poor old tramp refuses to make the climb, however are we to get over the rise?"
46968	Indeed, what else could they believe, after seeing the woman carrying on in such a wild way?
46968	Just imagine our Bumpus with a pair of those wide trousers on, and wooden shoes to finish him off, would you?
46968	Kaiser, do n''t you want to buy a dog?
46968	Leave it to us, and we''ll get him down out of that, eh, Thad?"
46968	Now, ready, Giraffe?
46968	So they have a rowdy element here too, do they?
46968	Speak plainer, ca n''t you?"
46968	Surely you will not want to keep us here against our will, where we would be a burden on you, and with four more mouths to fill?"
46968	Thad, I hope you did n''t forget me when laying in that stock of cowhides?"
46968	Thad, can you guess it?
46968	Thad, had n''t we better take a chance, and say we''ve tasted one meal in Holland?"
46968	Thad, we''ll never forget this kindness, will we?"
46968	Thad, you wo n''t think of quitting this splendid view- place and losing the one chance we may ever have to see a real up- to- date battle?"
46968	The brief note written by the aviator whom they had aided-- might not that be of benefit to their cause?
46968	They would not let you come by way of Aachen, where the glorious army crossed the border?"
46968	Think you c''n fix it, Thad?"
46968	Understand that?"
46968	We''re across the line, Thad, would n''t you say?"
46968	What d''ye suppose it all means, Thad?"
46968	What is it you desire to say?"
46968	What made you change your minds?"
46968	What''s happened?"
46968	What''s that they''re holding so that the sun glints from the ends like it does when you use a glass in heliographing a message?
46968	What''s the end going to be, I''d like to know?"
46968	Where am I at?
46968	Where do you figure we are now, Thad?"
46968	With such a contrite culprit owning up to his faults what could Thad say?
46968	Would he have to consider himself a prisoner of war?
46968	Would you mind rubbing me in the middle of the back?
46968	You remember I told you about the chat I had with a young gunner who could talk United States?
46968	announced Giraffe,"and listen to the row, will you?
46968	did you see that?"
46968	do we have to really_ push_?"
46968	exclaimed the fat scout on noticing that even Allan joined them,"seems like we might all be in the same boat, does n''t it?"
46968	grunted Giraffe;"and, Thad, I suppose I''ll have to do the interpreter act again, if the chap does n''t talk United States?"
46968	have you got it, Thad?"
46968	he did, eh?"
46968	is there no end to the procession?"
46968	leave me alone, ca n''t you?"
46968	look at that, will you?"
46968	remarked Thad;"and do you see any one following after us, to watch, and find out what we do?"
46968	so we''re going on again, are we?
46968	what do you think of that?"
46968	what''s all this, anyway?
46968	what''s gone wrong now, I wonder?"
46968	what''s that mean, Thad?
46968	whatever has happened?"
46968	whatever is that ahead of us; and a towing rope in the bargain?
21842	A mystery is there now, Carl? 21842 According to the law anybody is allowed to shoot dogs caught in the act of running deer, especially in the summer time; is n''t that right, Tom?"
21842	All we wanted to do was to ask you if you had seen that paper? 21842 Along-- where to, may I ask?"
21842	And did you see the tramps in camp cleaning things out then?
21842	And why would hoboes want that to happen?
21842	And you allowed them to go on past, you mean, sir?
21842	And you kind of had an idea the paper might have blown out through that open window, was that it?
21842	And you say the receipt disappeared from the table in your sitting room, without anybody knowing what became of it?
21842	Anything gone wrong here Billy?
21842	Anything more about that stolen paper?
21842	Are we going to stand by and see that sport go on, boys?
21842	Are you satisfied to accept Mr. Perkins''apology, boys, in the same spirit in which it is given?
21842	Because his name was signed at the bottom, you mean, Tom?
21842	But Tom, Amasa Culpepper was n''t in our house that morning?
21842	But Tom, do you think we could get some supplies from him?
21842	But do we have to carry them along with us like that?
21842	But he let Dock stay in the house, you say?
21842	But how about that fine big tree yonder, could n''t we take shelter under that?
21842	But how are we going to climb up in the tree?
21842	But how can you get along, I want to know?
21842	But if it was the fault of the lawyer''s clerk why should n''t he be held responsible for the loss? 21842 But tell me how you escaped?"
21842	But what are we going to do about this thing?
21842	But what can we do for shelter?
21842	But what would a feller like me want with your old paper?
21842	But what would the boy want to do with that paper?
21842	But with a family of children to bring up how are you going to live from now on, when before this happened you had barely enough? 21842 But you still limp, I notice, sir,"remarked Tom;"are you sure you can make it to- day?
21842	But you wo n''t think of backing down about going on this grand hike over Big Bear Mountain, I hope?
21842	But you would not be so cruel as to deprive my children of their bread simply because of a little technicality, sir? 21842 But you_ did_ leave him alone there, did n''t you?"
21842	Ca n''t you get us out of here, fellers?
21842	Can you see if_ he''s_ in there, Tom?
21842	Cooled''em off, eh?
21842	Did Mrs. Oskamp see me take anything?
21842	Did n''t I see that dog take hold of you by the leg, Felix, at the time you struck him so hard on the head with your club?
21842	Do I? 21842 Do n''t you think that it was a little careless, Carl, in your mother, to do that?"
21842	Do you mean some rowdies tried to make trouble for you?
21842	Do you mean there''s any chance for us to keep going, after our things have been taken in this way?
21842	Do you mean try to find out what the sum is he asked Amasa to pay him?
21842	Do you suppose Mr. Henderson has brought that stout rope along with the idea that it may be needed to pull any one out of the mud?
21842	Do you think Mr. Culpepper could have hired Dock to_ steal_ the paper?
21842	Does Amasa still drop in to call now and then?
21842	First of all do you remember what that receipt made out by Mr. Culpepper looked like, Carl?
21842	Going into the real- estate business, are you, Billy?
21842	Have we passed that dangerous place you were telling us about, sir?
21842	How about allowing dogs to roam the woods up here, Tom; is n''t it against the law in this State nowadays?
21842	How about others who are lazy, and always wanting to put things off to another day? 21842 How about that, Josh; would n''t you call a bog a swamp, too?"
21842	How did you get out?
21842	How is everything now, Carl?
21842	How long ago was it that the raid took place, Billy?
21842	How long was it between the time your mother laid the paper on the table and the moment she missed it?
21842	How''d I be able to help Mrs. Oskamp out, tell me? 21842 How, sir?"
21842	I did n''t have any chance to ask you about the big oak?
21842	I judge from what you say, sir, that you have had the misfortune to lose some of your poultry lately? 21842 I never heard you say anything about it before, Tom?"
21842	I wonder how deep that mud is anyhow?
21842	I wonder what he''s meaning to do?
21842	I wonder what those other fellows are doing about now?
21842	Is it then so dangerous?
21842	Is n''t that our chum, Billy, waving his hands to us?
21842	Is that what they do?
21842	It''s all over for to- night then?
21842	Just why did you frown on the scout movement, may I ask, sir?
21842	Listen to it roaring, up on the mountain?
21842	Listen to the row up there, will you?
21842	Look over yonder between those bushes, sir; does n''t that seem to be about the kind of place you''re after?
21842	Me? 21842 Meaning the fact that Dock Phillips is somewhere up there on the mountain; that''s what you''ve got in your mind, is n''t it, Carl?"
21842	Meaning you believe you know who the fellows were?
21842	Mr. Henderson do you expect to remain in town over night?
21842	No one sick over at your house, is there?
21842	Nothing can be done, I suppose, Carl?
21842	Oh is that so?
21842	Oh, am I?
21842	Oh, is there any chance of a terrible storm dropping down on us, do you think?
21842	Oh, why did n''t ye come last June? 21842 Say, did you feel anything then?"
21842	Shall we get started right away, Tom?
21842	She''s sure of that, is she?
21842	So she laid it on the table, did she?
21842	Stop and think-- who would like nothing better than to put us in a hole? 21842 Tell me what it is then; and can we start in to try it right away?"
21842	Tell me, am I seein''things Bill Scruggs? 21842 That grocer''s boy is a fellow by the name of Dock Phillips, is n''t he?"
21842	That was why I saw a light over in your room late last night, was it?
21842	That would be apt to make him come to time with a jump, would n''t it?
21842	That''s all true enough, Tom, but tell me what you mean by saying that in the way you did? 21842 The next thing for us to see about is how under the sun will we cook all these delicious bass Billy''s got ready?"
21842	Then Mr. Witherspoon is willing to organize the Lenox Troop of Boy Scouts, is he, Tom?
21842	Then it was struck by that terrible bolt, was it?
21842	Then it''s different with a scout, is it, sir?
21842	Then what else has cropped up to bother you, Carl?
21842	Then you have lost one, have you sir?
21842	Then you must know Ezra Brush, for he was born in the farm house he occupies to this day?
21842	Tom, would it be right for me to have another talk with Dock, and make him an offer?
21842	Tom, would it pay us to follow them right now?
21842	Tom, you''ve studied your chart good and hard, let''s hope,commented Josh;"so we wo n''t run any chance of going past the place without knowing it?"
21842	Two minutes would be plenty of time, would n''t it, Tom?
21842	Was it about that tenement house she owns, and the rents from which comes part of her income?
21842	We could n''t do anything, Tom, now our paper''s gone off on the current?
21842	We ought to make that little lake by the afternoon, ought n''t we, Tom?
21842	We wo n''t try to carry any tent, will we, Tom?
21842	We''ll keep you only a few minutes at the most, Dock,continued Tom;"you take the orders for groceries for the store, do n''t you?"
21842	Well, that was a queer happening, was n''t it?
21842	What another irate farmer?
21842	What d''ye think of that, fellows?
21842	What did you do to them?
21842	What did you do?
21842	What did you hear?
21842	What do you mean by saying that?
21842	What has that got to do with your scheme?
21842	What if they have gotten lost in that awful mud bog, and right now are stuck fast there, whooping for help?
21842	What is it, Josh?
21842	What is it, then?
21842	What kind of a paper was it?
21842	What luck, Tom?
21842	What makes you think that, Josh?
21842	What sort of trouble do you mean, George?
21842	What will she do when you''re away with the rest of us on that ten day hike over Big Bear Mountain?
21842	What would we have done without any skillet at all, Tom?
21842	What''s gone wrong, Carl?
21842	What''s happened?
21842	What''s that you are saying?
21842	What''s that?
21842	What''s the matter with taking a log and straddling the same?
21842	What''s this here?
21842	What''s this you''re a- sayin'', Tom Chesney? 21842 What''s this you''re talking about?"
21842	What, me? 21842 What, that old miser pay any real money out?
21842	Whatever have the scouts been doing this time to raise trouble? 21842 When will you get busy on that copy, Carl?"
21842	Where are you going, Tom?
21842	Who would have dreamed such a blast could sweep down and take that paper off? 21842 Why do you believe that?"
21842	Why should they bother when it was seven against one, Tom?
21842	Why should we do that?
21842	Why should we take water when we laid our plans first?
21842	Why, how could that be?
21842	Why, that lot of boys seems to be having a snowball fight, do n''t they? 21842 Wo n''t you tie up your dogs, Mr. Brush, and come and join us here before the fire?"
21842	Would n''t it be a great thing if we did happen on a real bear while we were out on this hike?
21842	Yes, but why pick out Big Bear Mountain,Felix wanted to know;"unless they meant to spy on the scouts, and give us all the trouble they could?"
21842	Yes, but you have n''t told me what it is?
21842	Yes, that''s just what they did state,added Felix;"you''ve got to have things authenticated-- wasn''t that the word the paper used?"
21842	Yes, what did they do to you, Billy?
21842	You do n''t say, mister?
21842	You heard what he said about the meanness of his employer, did n''t you?
21842	You mean Dock wants more than Amasa is willing to pay, is that it, Tom?
21842	You mean about saying it was a paper that had been lost?
21842	You mean we expect to push right up the mountain and begin exploring the country, do n''t you, Tom?
21842	You spoke of hunting in the garden and around the outside of the house; why should you do that?
21842	You want to know what I think of it, boys?
21842	You''re worrying again because nothing has happened as we hoped would be the case, eh, Carl?
21842	You''ve lived around here some time, I take it?
21842	Anybody know of a pond that''s got a nice green coating of scum on the top?
21842	Anybody with hoss sense could put them facts together, could n''t they?
21842	Besides, how was I to know they would pay the slightest heed to anything I might say?
21842	Besides, they were in no hurry; so what was the use of exerting themselves unduly?
21842	Besides, what''d I want with a silly old scrap of paper, tell me?"
21842	Brush?"
21842	Brush?"
21842	Brush?"
21842	But what''s that the boys are saying?"
21842	CHAPTER VIII SIGNS OF TROUBLE AHEAD"Was it about Dock?"
21842	CHAPTER XXIII INTO THE BIG BOG"Is it worth our while to bother with that crowd, Tom?"
21842	Carl, and you too Tom; what''s up?"
21842	Culpepper?"
21842	Do n''t we happen to know that Tony Pollock and his crowd are around here on Big Bear Mountain somewhere?
21842	Do those same rules say''procrastination is the thief of time?''"
21842	Do we have to start in fishing that early, or else go hungry?"
21842	Do you think you could duplicate the receipt, Carl?"
21842	Felix,"objected the boy mentioned,"you''re stretching things pretty wide, are n''t you?
21842	Get that, fellows?"
21842	Had n''t we better try it alone?"
21842	Have n''t we hunted high and low for that paper, and wondered where under the sun it could have gone?
21842	Horace, are you going to see this grand scheme fall through for lack of just a single name?
21842	How do we know but that a glorious chance may come up and that you can win out yet?
21842	How do we know but that this raid on our stuff was made just to force us to give up our hike?"
21842	How do you happen to know then it was a paper, Dock?"
21842	How many are going along on the hike?"
21842	How would we feel about it, knowing that we had had the chance given to us to stretch out a helping hand them, and had failed?"
21842	I wonder what''s happened now?"
21842	Is it the State Militia dropped down on us?
21842	Is n''t that hard luck though, Tom?"
21842	Is n''t that so, boys?"
21842	Is n''t there a way?"
21842	Is there a war on?"
21842	It''s not a particularly lovely home for any fellow, is it?
21842	May I, sir?"
21842	Now what you drivin''at anyhow?
21842	Now, what makes you look so glum, Josh?"
21842	Of course you can show my name at the bottom of a receipt if that is the fact?"
21842	Perkins?"
21842	Perkins?"
21842	Perkins?"
21842	Perkins?"
21842	Raidin''the farms up this way, are you?
21842	That makes seven does n''t it?
21842	Then he ended with an air of assumed dignity,"Horace, your country calls you; will it call in vain?"
21842	Then would you advise me to try the plan I spoke of?"
21842	Want to make me out a thief, do you?
21842	What could Mr. Culpepper have to do with the vanishing of that paper?"
21842	What do you think of the title, Tom?"
21842	What for?
21842	What if I did run across the chance to make Dock own up, and got him to give me that precious paper?
21842	What if I do take orders; want to leave one with me for a commission, hey?"
21842	What must I do if they take a notion to come back and threaten to eat me up?"
21842	Which is it going to be?"
21842	Why do you ask, Tom?"
21842	Why pick me out above every one else for that?"
21842	Witherspoon?"
21842	Witherspoon?"
21842	Witherspoon?"
21842	Witherspoon?"
21842	Would it be wrong in me?
21842	Would they ever forget that supper?
21842	am I?"
21842	anything like compounding a felony?"
21842	asked Rob;"without getting stuck in the mud ourselves?"
21842	do you mean even to signing Mr. Culpepper''s name at the end?"
21842	exclaimed Felix"Can it be a muskrat, Tom, do you think, swimming on top of the water?"
21842	he cried, when his voice could be heard,"did n''t that sound right from where that magnificent big oak tree stood that I wanted to get under?"
21842	is that so, Felix?"
21842	listen to that, will you?"
21842	questioned Tom;"and agree to hand it over to him just as soon as the stock of the oil well company can be sold, after your mother gets it again?"
21842	sneered the man;"but tell me, who''s a- goin''to vouch for you, now?"
21842	what d''ye mean by trespassin''on my ground?
21842	what''s gone wrong now, Carl?"
35808	''Yours very truly,''GEORGE STANTON,"''_ Scout Comm''r._''""Whoopee, what do you think of that?"
35808	Aeroplanes?
35808	Ai n''t he a peach?
35808	Ai n''t you afraid of nothin''?
35808	Ai n''t your father never going to quit doing things for us kids?
35808	All biplanes like this one?
35808	All in favor?
35808	All of you fellows come, cain''t yuh?
35808	An''how much does a real one weigh-- I mean a big one?
35808	And shot a grizzly?
35808	And this lady?
35808	And this trouble has been going on about a month?
35808	And what''s the reason for that?
35808	Any''round here?
35808	Are you sure the thing hit you, Ike?
35808	Barkely, just take care of our baby-- follow us up-- while I whirl this young dare- devil to-- where will it be?
35808	Build this machine?
35808	But how are we goin''to start?
35808	But how do you know he is there?
35808	But what does he do?
35808	But what''s the matter with him?
35808	But you would n''t let him go up alone yet?
35808	But, what if it should n''t be a bird after all?
35808	By the way, did you do it?
35808	Ca n''t we borrow a drum somewhere?
35808	Ca n''t you manage to build a machine here at the fort?
35808	Cain''t you- all come over Sunday afternoon? 35808 Can we all go?"
35808	Chase out to the kitchen and tell Hop Sing to give you the rattler lariat, will you? 35808 Did Tommy ever see him before?"
35808	Did he say what he had done?
35808	Did n''t we?
35808	Did n''t you see anything?
35808	Did n''t you see it?
35808	Did you ever see a live grizzly act like that?
35808	Did you see it, Hawke?
35808	Did you see that, fellows?
35808	Do what?
35808	Do you know him?
35808	Do you really mean that?
35808	Do you think he''d help us out?
35808	Do you think we can build it in two weeks?
35808	Do you think you could get him?
35808	Do you want to eat the place up with drafts?
35808	Does it look like some bird had him?
35808	Eeny, meeny, miny, mo-- which one shall we open first?
35808	Eight hundred dollars, eh?
35808	Ever develop that picture you took in the mountains?
35808	Ever ride much?
35808	Ever see a cliff dwelling, Windy?
35808	Feeling better, son?
35808	Gee, bet it''ll take a fall out of him to see another plane bobbin''round here, wo n''t it?
35808	Got a father around the Fort?
35808	Have a drink, anybody? 35808 Have you seen that old Indian snooping around here?"
35808	Hawke the government aviator?
35808	He ca n''t live on air, can he? 35808 Hello, what do you want?"
35808	Helps you save your pennies?
35808	How about that, Hawke?
35808	How are you going to carry on this hunt?
35808	How can you study aeroplanes way down here almost out of all creation?
35808	How did the Thunder Bird knock those chaps around that way?
35808	How did you do it?
35808	How fast would it go?
35808	How is he this morning, Dunk?
35808	How long would it take to get this material?
35808	How long you been a scout, Windham?
35808	How many will it carry?
35808	How much would the thing cost?
35808	How near''s Chance now?
35808	How we goin''to learn about first aid to the injured?
35808	How you going to get across that ravine?
35808	How''s it going?
35808	Hullo, there, Windy, what''s dragging your line?
35808	Human sacrifices?
35808	I do not know what it was but--"Well, but what?
35808	I''m used to Windy, but why the Fly?
35808	If it''s all right with you fellows?
35808	Is he sure dead?
35808	Is it all right?
35808	Is it all there?
35808	Is it safe?
35808	Is she all right?
35808	Is there any chance that she wo n''t fly?
35808	Is-- is that plane yours?
35808	It''s most three, ai n''t it?
35808	Looks about ten, eh? 35808 Lose any sheep lately?"
35808	Lost any sheep last night?
35808	Na, not da leetle boys?
35808	Now, Boy Scouts, what''s that?
35808	Now, how do you suppose that fire started?
35808	Remember anything about your father, Carl?
35808	Say, did you make that blamed rattle?
35808	Say, fellows, did you see in the paper that Chance, the big New York aviator is going to fly over this way in a week or so?
35808	Say, what was dat thing? 35808 Say, what''s that?"
35808	Say, you joy- killer, you calamity howler, cut that out, will you?
35808	Say, your name Windham?
35808	See that cliff yonder?
35808	See this little trail where the dirt has been dragged along?
35808	See this?
35808	Sure-- you''ll stay, wo n''t you, Hawke?
35808	That does seem odd, does n''t it?
35808	That so? 35808 The cliffs?"
35808	The question is, how are we going to get it?
35808	The strange Indian?
35808	The tepee where you learn the call?
35808	There could be no tracks of a bird, could there?
35808	Was it a hawk?
35808	Was it in the air?
35808	Was she much smashed up?
35808	Was you looking?
35808	We wo n''t really need them, I s''pose?
35808	We''ll have it done?
35808	We''ll lay for that Thunder Bird of yours, Carl, eh, Jerry?
35808	Well, I''d like to know how much that weighs?
35808	Well, if the Thunder Bird lives up in the mountains, why not try and find out where he roosts?
35808	Well, we mean, did they have two wings or one?
35808	Well, what shall we do with him?
35808	What about the old squaw?
35808	What are they?
35808	What are you driving at anyhow?
35808	What d''ye mean?
35808	What do they do?
35808	What do you know about that, fellows? 35808 What do you mean by that?"
35808	What do you suppose that noise was?
35808	What do you think about it, Carl?
35808	What do you think of the heroes?
35808	What do you think we''re here for?
35808	What does he say?
35808	What happened anyway?
35808	What if there should be a bully storm?
35808	What is it?
35808	What is it?
35808	What was it then?
35808	What was it?
35808	What we goin''to call her?
35808	What you fellows talking about?
35808	What you think, John?
35808	What yuh talkin''about?
35808	What''ll it be?
35808	What''s he coming this way for?
35808	What''s that? 35808 What''s that?"
35808	What''s that?
35808	What''s that?
35808	What''s the cousin''s name?
35808	What''s the joke?
35808	What''s the mater with you? 35808 What''s the matter?"
35808	What''s the use of hunting any more, fellows?
35808	What''s this about the Thunder Bird, Carlito? 35808 What''s this?"
35808	What''s wings?
35808	What-- what for?
35808	What?
35808	What?
35808	What?
35808	Where did you learn that call?
35808	Where is your tepee?
35808	Where you going?
35808	Where you going?
35808	Where''m I off now?
35808	Where''s Carl?
35808	Where''s Hawke this morning?
35808	Where''s your line, Carl?
35808	Who are you?
35808	Who bagged him?
35808	Who can tie a bowline knot?
35808	Who knows all the states in the union?
35808	Who''s goin''to shoot it up?
35808	Who-- who are you?
35808	Why did n''t you go to college when Phipps wanted you to, Carl?
35808	Why do n''t you take a picture of it, Windy?
35808	Why not get Dunk?
35808	Why not? 35808 Wonder how old he is?"
35808	Wonder where he came from anyhow?
35808	Would it, Hawke?
35808	You Apache?
35808	You do n''t go much on''em, do you?
35808	You know Hawke, do n''t you?
35808	You mean, let us help in building it?
35808	You tell me that thing go up-- up high? 35808 You''re Crawford?
35808	Ai n''t you awful afraid, Tender?"
35808	CHAPTER II THE DESTROYER"Who''s that good- lookin''Indian, Jerry?"
35808	CHAPTER IV AN AVIATOR APPEARS"Hello, who''s that talkin''to father?"
35808	Does he get his living for nothing?"
35808	Ever hear of me?"
35808	General boss of the gods, was n''t he, Carlo?"
35808	Gone to Silver City?
35808	Gray has been fillin''me and Herb up with his Boy Scout stuff, so I want to know why y''all do n''t get busy?
35808	Hawke?"
35808	Hawke?"
35808	Hawke?"
35808	He lowered his voice slightly,"Say, you back me an''Phipps up strong, will you?
35808	How about it, Gerald?"
35808	How about it?"
35808	Hullo, new member?
35808	No?
35808	Say, Carlito, what was that thing that scared our horses last night?"
35808	See that?"
35808	So you boys are going to trail him down?"
35808	Spanish, ai n''t it?"
35808	The doctor is not at the house?
35808	Then he added:"Do you think we can make this to- day?"
35808	Want to hear it?"
35808	What do you know''bout this thing?"
35808	What else could it be?
35808	What had Ike and the trunks to do with it?
35808	What if he had known my folks?"
35808	What if they''d all get out and run away?
35808	What now?"
35808	What''ll we do in case either of them is badly hurt?"
35808	What''s on your mind?"
35808	What''s the use?
35808	Who is he?"
35808	Who''s Tender Gray?"
35808	Windham?
35808	You would n''t mind making some good money, would you?"
35808	Yuh scared, Windy?"
35808	Yuh understand?"
49496	''In the name of thunder, what have you Scouts been up to?''
49496	''Ow d''ye know that? 49496 A bit of a startler when you''re not used to it, eh?
49496	A boat, sir? 49496 A good idea, but where are the rollers?"
49496	A make- up? 49496 A motor-- how do you know, Atherton?"
49496	A suggestion for the camp, eh?
49496	A wreck? 49496 About the burglary, sir; haven''t----""Burglary-- where?"
49496	All right up there?
49496	An experiment, sir?
49496	And Mayne and Green?
49496	And his assailants?
49496	And how is Sir Silas?
49496	And if the fellow gives a perfectly corroborated statement, and claims damages for illegal arrest, where would the funds of the troop go, eh? 49496 And the other extremities, East, South and West Heads, sir?"
49496	Any further news of Tassh, sir?
49496	Anything to report?
49496	Anything wrong?
49496	Anything wrong?
49496	Are n''t they all right, sir?
49496	Are we going to explore the caves again to- day, sir?
49496	Are we going to use twine as a guide, sir?
49496	Are you quite sure you can do the distance there and back?
49496	Atherton has seen Sir Silas?
49496	Atherton is, I believe, a-- er-- Scout?
49496	But how do you account for the finding of the silver stuff in the underground chamber?
49496	But how was the tea carried there? 49496 But the night before last?"
49496	But there is such a thing as mistaken identity?
49496	But these lads?
49496	But to return to the point: has the identity of the victim been established?
49496	But what''s the use? 49496 By the by, Tassh,"said Sir Silas in a well- assumed casual tone,"I suppose you have seen these young gentlemen before to- day?"
49496	By the by, did you see Mr Tassh come ashore yesterday?
49496	Can I examine the window by which the burglars are supposed to have entered, sir?
49496	Can I help, sir?
49496	Can any of you, mates?
49496	Clue? 49496 Come on, kid, you''re not afraid?"
49496	Could I swim off to the ship?
49496	Could n''t they dive for it or fish it up with a boathook?
49496	Did n''t Mr Tassh wire to you, sir?
49496	Did they used to smuggle tea?
49496	Did you notice where the man went to? 49496 Do n''t you know?"
49496	Do n''t you see you are putting obstacles in the way of the police?
49496	Do you feel equal to it, or shall we get you a cab?
49496	Do you suspect anyone in your house, sir?
49496	Do you think Tassh has done himself an injury?
49496	Do you think he is hiding here, Atherton?
49496	Do you think he''ll let us go?
49496	Do you think, since they are close to the mouth of the Tea Caves, that they have anything to do with Paul Tassh?
49496	Does Tassh carry firearms, sir?
49496	Does n''t it feel cold?
49496	Eh?
49496	From the inside?
49496	Got anything?
49496	Got your flash lamp?
49496	H''m; have you made a list of what is missing?
49496	Has it gone?
49496	Have n''t you a nose? 49496 Have n''t you got to the bottom yet, Coventry?"
49496	Have n''t you seen the papers, lads?
49496	Have you a key to the door, Mr Varco?
49496	Have you discovered any clue, Sir Silas?
49496	Have you unloaded, young gentleman?
49496	Have you?
49496	Heard the news, young gentlemen? 49496 How about the silver bowl, sir?"
49496	How are we to get it into the boat? 49496 How did you know that one of your mates had n''t used her, Peter?"
49496	How do we get there, sir?
49496	How far can we see out to sea, sir?
49496	How have we done him a good turn? 49496 How on earth did the fellow get to the Island?"
49496	How''s the candle going, Atherton?
49496	How?
49496	How?
49496	Hulloa?
49496	I say, Simpson,he exclaimed breathlessly, as he reached the camp,"I''ve seen----""Yes, seen-- but how many did you shoot?"
49496	I suppose you know there was a wreck, and those men over there are some of the crew?
49496	I suppose you would n''t mind if I altered my decision?
49496	I wonder if Sir Silas is trying to pull Atherton''s leg?
49496	I wonder if there''s a cave underneath here?
49496	I wonder what their little game is, bringing up so close to the Tea Caves?
49496	I wonder what would happen if we stopped up the blowing hole?
49496	I''ve been sent to make a few enquiries, sir; can I speak to you in private?
49496	Is he dead?
49496	Is that all you''ve found?
49496	Is that rule strictly adhered to?
49496	Key, young man? 49496 Look here, young gentleman, can you give us any information as to what occurred?"
49496	Mr Jones, sir?
49496	My silver? 49496 No one else landed on the Island, I suppose?"
49496	Now what are we going to do, Simpson?
49496	Now what is to be done?
49496	Now, Atherton, have you any suggestions to make?
49496	Now, Atherton, what is it that''s worrying you?
49496	Now, sir, may I see the lock of the safe?
49496	Now, then, signallers: what do you make of that?
49496	Now, you fellows, who''s going to have a snooze?
49496	One of your ships, sir?
49496	Perhaps Mayne and Baker brought them ashore when they returned from the mainland last night, sir?
49496	Perhaps you''re strangers to this part of the coast?
49496	Polkerwyck House?
49496	Quite a display of foresight, eh?
49496	Return? 49496 Scouts to the rescue, eh?"
49496	Seen anything of the yacht?
49496	Shall I see what those Scouts make of it?
49496	Should we find any if we looked, sir?
49496	Some of my silver gone, eh? 49496 Stay: perhaps, Mr Polglaze, you would like to accompany Jones?"
49496	Steamer? 49496 That I can not say; but suppose instead of standing here in the cold we launch this boat?"
49496	The bread? 49496 The night before last, sir?"
49496	Then why would they want to row her when there''s a motor on board, sir?
49496	There is no place where Tassh might hide that you neglected to make sure of?
49496	There were two or more burglars?
49496	Think it''s any use?
49496	Trematon? 49496 Was n''t it too rough last night for a boat to put off?"
49496	We can find a place to store this cart, I suppose?
49496	Well, Atherton, what do you want?
49496	Well, Polglaze?
49496	Well, is it?
49496	What about the lanterns we left behind us?
49496	What can their interest be in me, I wonder?
49496	What can we do?
49496	What did it feel like when you jumped of the bridge?
49496	What did you say to that?
49496	What do they suggest, Atherton?
49496	What do you make of these, Atherton?
49496	What do you propose doing now, Atherton?
49496	What do you say to keeping watch all night?
49496	What do you say to this: suppose we get the others to lower us down the cliffs by the Tea Caves? 49496 What ever does Sir Silas mean?"
49496	What has happened to you, then?
49496	What have you been up to, Atherton?
49496	What if the man is still in the cave, sir?
49496	What is the matter, Mr Trematon?
49496	What is to be done?
49496	What makes the light blink?
49496	What makes those rollers, sir?
49496	What shall I semaphore, sir?
49496	What shall we do with this lot?
49496	What then?
49496	What''s all this I hear, Tassh?
49496	What''s all this, boys?
49496	What''s happened, I wonder?
49496	What''s that noise?
49496	What''s that?
49496	What''s that?
49496	What''s that?
49496	What''s the game? 49496 What''s the meaning of this, Green?"
49496	What''s the move? 49496 What''s up now, I wonder?"
49496	What''s up?
49496	What, here, sir?
49496	Whatever is the matter with you, Hayes?
49496	Whatever possessed you to go without giving your name and address, Atherton?
49496	Where else did you expect?
49496	Where is it, then?
49496	Where''s Seal Island, sir?
49496	Where''s the buoy?
49496	Where''s the hole, Phillips?
49496	Where''s your hand, Mayne? 49496 Where?"
49496	Whereabouts?
49496	Who will volunteer? 49496 Who''s there?"
49496	Who''s there?
49496	Why did n''t you return last night, then?
49496	Why do they call them Tea Caves-- because the place is shaped like the letter T?
49496	Why is this called Dollar Cove, sir?
49496	Why not North Cape?
49496	Why not?
49496	Why pests, sir?
49496	Why?
49496	Will we be able to see them if there are?
49496	With the bulk of the booty, sir?
49496	Wot d''ye want, Capting?
49496	Yes, the_ Polybus_: you saw the account in this morning''s papers, Mr----?
49496	Yes; but, I say, will the tents stand it? 49496 You are not going to leave the boats like that, are you?"
49496	You are quite sure of what you said about Tassh?
49496	You are quite sure you examined every part of the tunnel?
49496	You did? 49496 You have?"
49496	You know the local police station, I suppose, lads? 49496 You left the Tenderfoots in camp?
49496	You mean us to dig, sir?
49496	You usually take a dog with you, do n''t you?
49496	You''ll excuse me, sir, but might I ask how you know?
49496	A man can not go out of a room, shut a door, and lock it on the inside, can he?"
49496	A sharp blast upon a steam- whistle was the response, while a hoarse voice bawled,"Where are you, my man?"
49496	Ai n''t they properly kippered that old fool Tassh, till''e ai n''t got no mind to call''is own?
49496	All pointed to the fact that Tassh''s departure had been hurriedly performed; at the same time the question arose, how did he manage it?
49496	And these are your chums, eh?"
49496	Are you sure of this?"
49496	Bill is that silly lubber Tassh''s brother- in- law, that''s wot yer do n''t know, eh?
49496	But how about Everest and Baker?"
49496	But perhaps you have n''t had time to consider the case properly?"
49496	But suppose, Atherton, a sum of money was presented to the troop funds, what would you do then?"
49496	But why is the lid so light in comparison with its size?"
49496	CHAPTER VI A SPOILT BREAKFAST"ANYONE awake?"
49496	CHAPTER XII THE BURGLARY"GREEN,"said Atherton,"I hope you are not so dead tired as I am: will you do me a good turn?"
49496	Can I speak to you in the store- room, sir?"
49496	Can you get across to the Island all right in the fog, or shall I ask Varco to pilot you over?"
49496	Come on, Baker, are those linchpins finished yet?"
49496	Did anybody think to bring a candle?"
49496	Did he go into the ruins?"
49496	Did n''t Sir Silas say that the House used to be an old monastic building, and that it was partially rebuilt on the existing foundations?
49496	Do n''t you remember that within twenty hours of the time that Tassh was unable to leave Seal Island he was back again by means of this passage?"
49496	Do you follow?"
49496	Funny that it was Sir Silas Gwinnear you rescued, was n''t it?"
49496	HOW CAME PAUL TASSH ON SEAL ISLAND?
49496	Having a joke with us, eh?
49496	Heard the latest news about his affair in Lunnon, sir?"
49496	Here is the main entrance; do you notice anything peculiar about the roof?"
49496	Here, Phillips, are we heading the right way?
49496	How about the electric alarm?"
49496	How do you manage?
49496	How many have you?"
49496	How on earth did you fellows find this out?"
49496	I know that you can all swim more or less: but what precautions are you taking against accidents?"
49496	I suppose there is a limit of age for Scouts, Mr Buckley?"
49496	I suppose there is no reason why you should decline this slight concession?"
49496	I suppose you fellows called me all sorts of uncomplimentary names, eh?"
49496	I suppose you have no objection to decide the matter by lots?"
49496	I wonder if they know a gun when they see one?"
49496	I wonder what Mr Buckley will suggest?"
49496	If you see or hear anything, sir, happen you wo n''t mind sending one of your young chaps to give us the tip?"
49496	Inform the police?"
49496	Is he here?
49496	Is the water falling?"
49496	Is this the lad, sir?"
49496	It is bold and lofty; suppose we say North Head?"
49496	Likely lads they be, although I reckon as they bain''t up to our Cornish lads, eh, Mr Trematon?
49496	Look at her forefoot, Fraser: do you see a hole bored through it?"
49496	Mr Buckley, I trust you will avail yourself of my offer and ride down to Polkerwyck in my car?"
49496	Now, for example, what do you suggest would be the best course to adopt?
49496	Suppose, Sir Silas, we tell these lads to go downstairs out of danger?
49496	Surely none of the presentation plate I had given me by Lloyds''?"
49496	That will be fair, wo n''t it?"
49496	That''s what the bard said, eh, Phillips?"
49496	These be the Scouts, eh?
49496	They say that Tassh has been traced to London, eh?
49496	What do you say to a little experiment?"
49496	What do''e want wi''a key for, might I make so bold as to ax?
49496	What on earth can it be?"
49496	What on earth do you mean, Coombes?"
49496	What on earth have Baker and Pat Coventry been doing?
49496	What shall it be?"
49496	What wur''e a- doin''on t''Island I should like to know?"
49496	What''s in the other telegrams, Atherton?"
49496	What''s that noise?"
49496	What''s that?"
49496	What''s wrong now?"
49496	When was it?"
49496	Where''s that fellow, Tassh?"
49496	Who''s game?"
49496	Why did n''t you use your sense of smell?"
49496	Why do you ask?"
49496	Why, where is the yacht?"
49496	Will there be any wrecks?"
49496	Would it be possible that the fellow had any suspicions that some one in addition to his mate was on board?
49496	You are quite sure you slept in the house last night?
49496	You have matches handy?
49496	You know that there is a reward out for the recovery of the silver?"
49496	You''re both dressed?
49496	You''ve plenty of candles?"
49496	[ Illustration:"''Look here, young gentleman, can you give me any information as to what occurred?''"
26345	''Brother,''called Raven to the bird,''how came you here?'' 26345 ''But, Brother, how do I know there is such a daughter?
26345	''I? 26345 ''I?
26345	All right-- what do you want us to say to the boys?
26345	And makes them a luxury, eh?
26345	And what sort of scout do you lock up in here?
26345	And where shall we camp?
26345	Are n''t the girls going to sit down, too?
26345	Are n''t they big?
26345	Are n''t you?
26345	Are they, Gilly?
26345	Are you Mike, the Indian?
26345	Are you going to carry that little bag of flour?
26345	Are you''fraid to trust us?
26345	Be you- all out fer a lark?
26345	But how can we_ get_ an impact? 26345 But it was hard work to keep straight faces, was n''t it, girls?"
26345	But what could possibly happen when we had Jim and Verny at the wheels?
26345	But what? 26345 But what?
26345	But why should we bother with such stuff?
26345	But, at least, tell us what happened to those Nerieds?
26345	Could n''t we find some other affectionate term that will do without impressing strangers with our lack of courtesy to our friend?
26345	Did n''t you cut them up and use them just now?
26345	Did you bring a compass?
26345	Did you find out what you went for?
26345	Did you find the mushrooms along the way?
26345	Do any of you girls understand weather- lore?
26345	Do n''t you know the story, Verny?
26345	Do you need any assistance?
26345	Do you remember I told you, last summer, of some Boy Scouts who camped in my woods every year? 26345 Do you sell gasoline?"
26345	Do you think that is it, Gilly?
26345	First, then: Did Hiram miss any calves or pigs or other domestic animals from his barnyard yesterday?
26345	Girls, suppose we stop and cook the steaks?
26345	Got money now to pay?
26345	Had anything to eat?
26345	Had n''t we better study the book first, scouts, and let Gilly know when we are ready to go tracking?
26345	Had we better separate and go in different directions to hunt the camp?
26345	Has any one thought of a stopping place for the night?
26345	Have you formulated any plan to begin with?
26345	How about lunch-- we''re famished?
26345	How about that chicken? 26345 How big was it, Julie?"
26345	How can we answer them?
26345	How can we cross? 26345 How did bunny stand the voyage?"
26345	How did you know you could make a broom like this?
26345	How do I know? 26345 How do we know we can find any willows around here?"
26345	How long is it to anywhere?
26345	How many of you brought the plaster and bottle of water?
26345	How much do we owe you for this great service?
26345	How much shall we need, Gilly?
26345	How much time will we save?
26345	How much you rent canoe for?
26345	How would a fine juicy steak taste about this time?
26345	How''d you know we were scouts?
26345	I came over to ask how many of you have been fishing? 26345 I love peanuts, do n''t you?"
26345	I think Joan''s idea of visiting the Indian a good one, girls; why not go there instead of to either of the other places?
26345	I told you you''ve got an awful memory-- didn''t I want to dub you''The man- with- a- poor- memory?''
26345	If''Liza knew of this mischance, would n''t she gloat over her''Friday Bad Luck''prophecy?
26345	Is Mr. Gilroy coming over to visit us to- day?
26345	Is dinner ready, boys, or will there be time to show the girls about the camp?
26345	Is it alive, Jule?
26345	Is it like that all over there, Julie?
26345	Is it? 26345 Is n''t he a beaut?"
26345	Is n''t that a pig-- in that pen?
26345	Is n''t there a reward for skunks in the country?
26345	Is n''t there any volunteer fire department?
26345	Is n''t there some sort of book that will teach us how to recognize tracks, girls?
26345	Is there any other animal that wears hoofs?
26345	Is there no way we might take to return to Fulton Chain Lakes other than going back the same route?
26345	Is there, Verny? 26345 Joan, are you awake?"
26345	Just what can you make, or have done, that we girls are not able to do?
26345	Maybe it is a reindeer?
26345	Me Mike-- wan''da canoe?
26345	Now they can win a badge for story- telling, ca n''t they, Verny?
26345	Now who''d a thought we could get gas in this little shop?
26345	Oh, are you Jake?
26345	Oh, did n''t you? 26345 Oh, does she know about it?"
26345	Say, could n''t you tell us where there is a nice picnic place near here?
26345	Say, where did you put that bait, anyway, Gilly?
26345	See anything at all, Dick?
26345	See those long shadows by the trees, over there?
26345	Shall we let it go now?
26345	Shall we stop to put on the rain- curtains?
26345	Shall we take a vote on it?
26345	Shall we try to circle this fen and get across, or go back again?
26345	Speaking of quills, Gilly-- why ca n''t we have chickens as the Grey Fox boys have?
26345	Suppose we take a bite as we travel along, and cook a regular dinner when we are out in the country somewhere?
26345	Sure-- why?
26345	Tell us about it?
26345	Tell us why you asked?
26345	That''s your steak-- think it is too big for one?
26345	The cove? 26345 The names of them, yes, but how many of you can find them as they are placed in the sky?"
26345	The what?
26345	Then why not say it is dinner- time, Verny?
26345	Then, if this is so, why need we worry about expenses for next summer''s outing with you?
26345	There are nine of us-- how about the odd one?
26345	Think you can do it?
26345	This will make a dandy story to write down in our record book, Verny, wo n''t it?
26345	Verny, do you know of any places one might choose for an objective on a hike?
26345	Verny, why ca n''t we see all the stars all the year?
26345	Verny, why not make a quick shelter to crawl under?
26345	Was n''t it too funny for anything,--the way we led Gilly about by the nose?
26345	Was that thunder I heard from over the mountain?
26345	Well, I ca n''t see, yet, why you should?
26345	Well, does this creature show any unusual tendencies, girls, by which you can recognize it?
26345	Well, guess you girls are planning to spread yourselves for dinner, eh?
26345	Well, then, it seems that all the baggage and outfit we need with us on the trip is safely stowed away, eh, Jim?
26345	Well, this is some trophy to carry back home, eh?
26345	Well, what do you think of him, scouts? 26345 Well, what now?
26345	Well, why not make a little cast of both the tracks you do not recognize and then compare them with those in the book when we go back to camp?
26345	What are they for?
26345	What can girls do?
26345	What can we do about our pets?
26345	What can you expect to do with two such pets?
26345	What did it look like? 26345 What did you cook for luncheon?"
26345	What difference would that make-- a little cheap soup? 26345 What do they give scouts a medal for, Verny?"
26345	What do you ask?
26345	What do you expect the Orderly to do, Verny?
26345	What do you mean by that?
26345	What do you mean? 26345 What do you mean?"
26345	What do you think happened to us?
26345	What duck- potatoes? 26345 What have you plotted, now?"
26345	What is it?
26345	What kind of a dog is he, Gilly?
26345	What makes you think so, Julie?
26345	What now?
26345	What shall we do with him? 26345 What shall we do?
26345	What shall we do? 26345 What was it in that salad dressing that gave such a palatable flavor?
26345	What will''two smokes''mean?
26345	What will_ you_ be doing, meantime?
26345	What would you do if they got the gapes, and no one would feed them chopped onions?
26345	What''s that?
26345	What''s the matter with bear steaks, while we''re about it? 26345 What, what?"
26345	When did you plan to start?
26345	Where does it end?
26345	Where have you been, Julie?
26345	Where is it?
26345	Where''s that rope, Jo?
26345	Where''s the rope you''ve been using, girls?
26345	Where-- which way did you hear them?
26345	Where? 26345 Which is the route you''d chose, Verny?"
26345	Who can find The Lady in the Chair or The Guards?
26345	Who wants to go with me to find the wooden animal that grows a steak ready- made?
26345	Who will buy their corn?
26345	Who will tell one?
26345	Who''s Orderly for the Day? 26345 Who''s doing the Indian cucumbers?"
26345	Why did n''t you use what scout- sense you had? 26345 Why do you object to''Gilly?''"
26345	Why not all fish and the sooner catch what is needed?
26345	Why not finish the job, now that we''re on top?
26345	Why not stop work and cook a few steaks?
26345	Why not take a little flour and fat and catch some fish at noon, and sup while on the trail?
26345	Why not there? 26345 Why should I hoax any one?
26345	Why, where did you find them?
26345	Why-- are you hungry?
26345	Why? 26345 Will you serve it, Jo-- you are nearest the pan?"
26345	Without a clue to any wild animal we tracked?
26345	Would you prefer to sit here and dream, Betty-- or go back with me and eat ham sandwiches?
26345	Yhon, I suppose you mean those on the route to Forked Lake, through Raquette River to Long Lake, eh?
26345	You do n''t suppose the girls are in earnest about keeping the pig and calf at camp, do you?
26345	You do, so why not tell us?
26345	You gals just sit still, will you?
26345	You seem to welcome the idea of camping in the Rockies?
26345	You tak him along?
26345	You''re always right-- how could you_ ever_ be mistaken?
26345	Your idea is all right, Verny, but what will the rules cover, and why have punishments?
26345	''Knowest thou not why I came to be born of the Light?
26345	*****_ THIS ISN''T ALL!_ Would you like to know what became of the good friends you have made in this book?
26345	And if there be, how shall I receive the Light through her?''
26345	And what did you catch?"
26345	And where will you go, Captain?"
26345	Are n''t you going to stay here next summer?"
26345	At this Mr. Gilroy called out,"You''re not going to eat my chicken, are you?"
26345	Both the Captain and Mr. Gilroy laughed, but the scouts gasped in unbelief,"Would Gilly do such a thing?"
26345	Both the rails were completely worm- eaten, but how should girls have known that?
26345	Breakfast will be all ready by the time you return, so do n''t dawdle on the way, will you?"
26345	But did n''t you boys know about the joke we made up on him about those tracks?
26345	But how could a baby get in that jungle?"
26345	But how did you manage to get them there-- by paddling in from the lake?"
26345	CHAPTER EIGHT JAKE''S INTERVIEW WITH A SKUNK"Gilly, do you know of any vegetable dye we can find in the woods to dye some burlap for decorations?"
26345	CHAPTER THIRTEEN SHOOTING THE RAPIDS-- AND OTHER THINGS"Well,''where do we go from here, boys?''"
26345	Can you find any difference?"
26345	Cook we must, but what?"
26345	Did any of us think water was dry?"
26345	Did any one hear the twelve o''clock whistle blow?"
26345	Did n''t Mr. Gilroy tell you that?"
26345	Did n''t you and Pa''s chauffeur overhaul both the cars thoroughly when you knew we were going on this trip?"
26345	Did n''t you scouts go out at dawn with Gilly to study tracks?"
26345	Did you bring a rifle, Dick?"
26345	Did you think they came preserved?"
26345	Do n''t you know we have to keep the peace all summer?"
26345	Do n''t you like my camp- ground?"
26345	Do they know much about tracks?"
26345	Do you know?"
26345	Do you suppose there can be any gypsies here?"
26345	Do you suppose they made them in camp?
26345	Do you think they will do their tricks for company?"
26345	During the luncheon the Captain said:"Would n''t it be splendid if each one of us kept a diary of what happens during this summer''s camp?
26345	Every eye glanced at Mr. Gilroy, and he laughingly replied,"Why do you all seem to think I am that animal?"
26345	Finally, when Mrs. Vernon could be heard, she asked,"Where are they-- far from Raquette Lake?"
26345	Gilroy?"
26345	Gilroy?"
26345	Gilroy?"
26345	His signal means''Where are you?''
26345	How came you here-- and where were you born?''
26345	How did that track- hunt come off?
26345	How did you make it?"
26345	How does it strike you?"
26345	How is that?"
26345	How much you give for rent canoe?"
26345	How''d you like it?"
26345	I do n''t suppose you know a thing about it, do you?"
26345	I hope the little thing is n''t past aid?"
26345	I suppose you scouts knew every animal, eh?"
26345	If we had not found the fires you left, what might have resulted to this area of mountain land?"
26345	Is he homely enough to win your pity?
26345	Is n''t it an honor to be the Orderly?"
26345	Is n''t that fine?
26345	Is there anything here to prove we are such ignoramuses as to believe a calf- track could possibly be a deer- print?"
26345	Let up on us now, and wait until_ you_ are lost, will you?"
26345	Made a lot of work, did n''t it?"
26345	Meantime the lady returned to the door and called out,"Wo n''t you please step this way?"
26345	One day he helped an old lame man along the path and, for gratitude, the old man said:''You seek the One of Nass who keeps the Light?''
26345	Remember the''Boulder''we all saw, and when it moved we had a panic?
26345	See that inky cloud scudding across there?"
26345	See that scout up on the roof with Mrs. Dickens''mother?"
26345	Shall we keep on hunting for the way back from this clearing, or just sit and let them find us?"
26345	Shall we try it?"
26345	Shall we try that trail?"
26345	So Mrs. Vernon asked,"Where is Prospect Junction?"
26345	So he asked:"Where did you set any snares?
26345	Suppose the man is cruel to them?"
26345	The boys stared in surprise for a moment, then Dick said,"What do you mean?
26345	Then every one turned to every one else, and word ran round:"Who''s got any money?"
26345	Then just back of them came the sound of horses''hoofs and a kindly voice called out,"Well, well, this is some plight you- all are in, eh?"
26345	Then quickly added,"Oh, Captain, where are the Brussels sprouts?
26345	This business disposed of, Julie said:"Now what shall we do to- day, girls?"
26345	What shall I do?"
26345	What shall we do with two of them on hand?"
26345	What shall we do?"
26345	What you take?"
26345	When did you manage to steal that?"
26345	Where did you come from?"
26345	Where''s the Indian cook?"
26345	Which way did it go?"
26345	Why should we go to all this fuss for nothing?"
26345	Why?"
26345	Will you come to- morrow morning?"
26345	Will yuh come to arth, yuh rascal?"
26345	Would n''t you boys like to examine it closely?"
26345	Would one do that?"
26345	Would you like to read other stories continuing their adventures and experiences, or other books quite as entertaining by the same author?
26345	[ Illustration:"Where-- which way did you hear them?"
26345	questioned Joan 211 GIRL SCOUTS IN THE ADIRONDACKS CHAPTER ONE THE FRIDAY JINX"Are we ready to start, girls?"
26345	surely you would n''t have these mere males_ think_ we were such gullible scouts, would you?
26345	was I right when I told you not to limit your supply to any old- fashioned mill- pond?"
26345	what did you do that for?
26345	where did they get the chickens?"
6339	Ai n''t I alwus? 6339 And the fellows are going over with you?"
6339	And the men?
6339	And we meet him then, I take it, in the usual place?
6339	And you?
6339	Any malted milk tablets?
6339	Are they brothers?
6339	Asy,she sobbed,"did you mind how he acted?
6339	Boys, did you ever have a hunch?
6339	But the man we passed in the road did n''t look like the murderer, did he? 6339 Ca n''t see the point of it, can you?
6339	Could n''t you see I was asleep? 6339 Curious about me, are you?"
6339	Did he threaten you many times?
6339	Did n''t think we''d be home, did you, mom?
6339	Did you call me?
6339	Did you ever have as much money as that?
6339	Did you ever see anything like this before?
6339	Did you hear what he said? 6339 Did you see it?"
6339	Do n''t you know how you feel it back of your neck when anybody looks in the window? 6339 Do you really mean it, Lester?"
6339	Do you really mean that your invention is a success?
6339	Does he want you to come there?
6339	Drunk?
6339	Eh, what''s this?
6339	First, where is the Wolf to- night?
6339	Gee, how do you suppose anybody can tell what you say when you both talk at once? 6339 Got a knife?"
6339	He is a what you call it safety- first man, is he not?
6339	How could we be sleepy at this time of day?
6339	How did you come to suspect who I was, you, little fool?
6339	How did you happen to discover the periscope before the lookout did?
6339	How do you feel after your little nap? 6339 How does everything go, daddy?
6339	How''s that?
6339	Hungry? 6339 Hurt much?"
6339	I can look at all the legs, ca n''t I? 6339 I said,''Well, what you going to do about it?
6339	If he comes in this morning, send him up here, wo n''t you?
6339	Is Mr. Leffingwell going to pick our college?
6339	Is he no better?
6339	Is he pro- German? 6339 It is the Weasel, think you not?"
6339	It wo n''t lame him permanently, will it?
6339	Like not talking when you ate?
6339	My boots?
6339	My boots?
6339	No?
6339	Pirates?
6339	Please, Colonel, ca n''t we go down to your cabin? 6339 Say, do you always say the same thing like that?
6339	Say, do you know what I did back home? 6339 Say, where''s the house?
6339	Say, why do n''t one of youse boys come and tell this yarn? 6339 Shall I call him?"
6339	Shall we mount? 6339 She says,''So you''re drafted?
6339	So you did n''t see his face? 6339 Sort of surprising, is n''t it?"
6339	Sort of thrilling, is n''t it?
6339	Stabbed?
6339	That would hurt on your bare feet, would n''t?
6339	That''s it, is it?
6339	The cat?
6339	The day you came to see me in the Hospital and stood there saying,''Oh, yes,''to everything I said-- who put you on my track, eh? 6339 Then what?"
6339	These stupid country people, what would they know about invisible ink? 6339 Want to know what they call the guy that''s riding with Miss Bright?"
6339	Was n''t it funny?
6339	Was she killed?
6339	We are done up a bit, are n''t we, Beany?
6339	Well, what''s the news?
6339	Well?
6339	Were you here at all yesterday?
6339	What ailed them? 6339 What are you doing here?"
6339	What did I do?
6339	What did you do with it then?
6339	What did you say to that?
6339	What do you do, Excellency?
6339	What does he do?
6339	What does this mean?
6339	What else?
6339	What for? 6339 What for?"
6339	What good will that be?
6339	What happened then?
6339	What made you leave the Wolf and the little chap? 6339 What makes you think that?"
6339	What news to- night, Ledermann?
6339	What now, my gay young buccaneer?
6339	What on earth does it all mean?
6339	What possesses you, Excellency; are you mad? 6339 What shall I say to their people?"
6339	What shall we do?
6339	What we goin''to do?
6339	What we goin''to do?
6339	What would I want to yell for? 6339 What you doin''?
6339	What you got?
6339	What you want of him?
6339	What''s inside this ornament?
6339	What''s new?
6339	What''s the first thing to do?
6339	What''s the matter?
6339	What''s this, Excellency?
6339	What''s this, Timmins, about Asa''s going home to- morrow? 6339 What''s up; what''s up?"
6339	What?
6339	What?
6339	When did those fellows wake up?
6339	Where did they take the man? 6339 Where did you pick this up?"
6339	Where is the Wolf?
6339	Where is the flower- house?
6339	Where is the formula?
6339	Where is your brother now?
6339	Where is your brother?
6339	Where will you go?
6339	Where you going?
6339	Where''s old Asa? 6339 Where''s your twin?"
6339	Where''s your uniforms?
6339	Who is with him? 6339 Who tied you up?"
6339	Who''s this?
6339	Whom have we here?
6339	Why should n''t I?
6339	Why, you do n''t mean that you really meant it?
6339	Wonder how long it will take us to get that high?
6339	Would he go home, or back to the Police Camp?
6339	Would hot coffee help any?
6339	Would n''t it be nice to sleep on deck to- night?
6339	Would you, Miss Carol?
6339	Yes, and what think she says?
6339	Yes, because what do you think I had found? 6339 Yes, sir; all ready to pick up,"said Porky,"Ca n''t we do something for you?"
6339	Yes, what has happened?
6339	You ai n''t afraid of him, are you?
6339	You do n''t mean bed, do you?
6339	You know what Colonel Bright''s done to me? 6339 Ai n''t I got a right to go long it? 6339 All right, we find that formula, because we got to do it for our country; and what do they do to us? 6339 And the other paper--"Wait till you get to it, ca n''t you?
6339	And then he says,''Well, what do you think of a Swiss Captain''s uniform-- pretty fine, eh?"
6339	Are you game, Porky, to land him ourselves?"
6339	Are you hungry?"
6339	Are you police?"
6339	Are your things all ship- shape?"
6339	Beany braced up to the Captain, and saluted and said,''Is it an American ship out there, sir?''
6339	Beany whispered to me,''Was it the wrong bottle?''
6339	Bright; and, besides, we do n''t look young, do we, Colonel?
6339	Can you run that engine and not turn turtle?"
6339	Could you see the result of your scheme?"
6339	Did you ever notice a coat or a cap like this?"
6339	Did you see the man go overboard, boys?"
6339	Did you start then, ever so slightly, you cruel killer, you merciless destroyer?
6339	Do n''t you suppose so?"
6339	Do n''t you think so, Porky?"
6339	Do you know the percentage of boats that see subs on their way over?"
6339	Do you see, Ledermann and Adolph, and you too, Weasel, that I take for myself the hardest job?
6339	Do you speak German?"
6339	Does n''t it beat anything?
6339	First?"
6339	Got a revolver?"
6339	Got that through your nut?"
6339	Have you heard anything from Elinor Pomeroy?"
6339	He said,''Parley voos Frongsay?''
6339	He said,''What did you give him?''
6339	He yelled,''What did you give him?''
6339	Hey?"
6339	How goes it?"
6339	How''d you know I was there?
6339	I says,''Oh, yes,''and he says,''''Specially the boots?''
6339	I want sell-- Huh?
6339	I wonder what she would think could she see him here?"
6339	I wonder, Mr. Leffingwell, if it is possible to keep the boy here for a few days or a week?
6339	Is n''t that a fine little place to hide things?"
6339	Is n''t that too dreadful?
6339	Is that the boy you have been telling me about?"
6339	Is that who the sweaters are for, mom?"
6339	It looks innocent enough, does n''t it?
6339	Just five?
6339	Leffingwell?"
6339	Lost that paper-- of course it is written in invisible ink; but suppose some blundering fool should get it near a fire?"
6339	May we talk while we eat breakfast?"
6339	Notice how small they are getting?
6339	Of what use the clenched fist, and writhing, clutching fingers?
6339	Once in awhile the Captain would look at him, and say to us in English,''About twenty- four hours more, eh?
6339	Once the Captain laughed when the boy- sticker man said something to me, and he said,"''Do you know what he said?''
6339	Say, Colonel, were you ever on a sinking ship?
6339	Say, how is Lester anyway?"
6339	Say, nurse, what have you done with his boots?"
6339	See that piece of cloth?
6339	See?"
6339	See?"
6339	She nearly got you, did n''t she, before you managed to beat her brains out?"
6339	Some class to us, do n''t you say so, mom?
6339	Somebody was smart-- thought I would never notice a small boy, eh?
6339	Tell him that, will you?
6339	That seems poor pay, does n''t it, when you have done such good work?
6339	Then Beany looked as though he was going to cry; and he said,''Ca n''t you make an exception, Capt, let this one go?''
6339	Then"Well?"
6339	Then"What time?"
6339	Think we ought to tell?"
6339	Think you could eat a little something?"
6339	Three hundred and one-- what?"
6339	Understand?
6339	Was he hurt much?"
6339	Was it any one we knew?
6339	We''ll, he dressed like a streak, and stalked off; and Beany whispered,''Where did you get that coat?''
6339	Well, I did what you said, and he said--""What did you do that I said?"
6339	Well, well, ai n''t you sorry just for your own face, that you did n''t enlist?''"
6339	What am I to tell him?
6339	What comes first?"
6339	What did he call him?"
6339	What did you give him?"
6339	What do you care who he smiles like?
6339	What do you suppose I care about your old patent medicine?
6339	What do you want me to do?"
6339	What does Mr. Leffingwell do to us?"
6339	What does it matter whether I finish him now or an hour later?"
6339	What good now is the blue vial in your pocket?
6339	What have you to, tell me?
6339	What steer do I give him?
6339	What time is it?
6339	What was it anyhow to the finder but a plain, clean piece of paper?
6339	What you doin''here yourself?
6339	What you pinchin''me for, anyhow?
6339	What''s it to me what you talk about?"
6339	What''s that hunch all about?"
6339	What''s that?"
6339	What, are you planning for them?"
6339	When he put up the receiver, everybody said,"Well?"
6339	Where did you find it?"
6339	Where have you come from?''
6339	Where was Porky?
6339	Where will we meet?"
6339	Who are your lucky friends?"
6339	Who is going over to patrol the fairgrounds this year beside me?"
6339	Who is the old woman crying in the sitting room?"
6339	Why did n''t they jump?"
6339	Will you?"
6339	With a start he awoke, muttering,"What''s the matter?"
6339	Wo n''t that be fine?"
6339	Would n''t that frost you?
6339	Would n''t you like something to remember the War by?"
6339	Would she pause?
6339	You ai n''t the same boy, are you?
6339	You did n''t shell it, did you?"
6339	You know that man in the road was right under the big light, so we seen it plain, did n''t we?"
6339	You would be a fool to take a chance with a mad dog, would n''t you?
6339	You would not like to be like that, would you?
6339	asked Beany,"or did it kill them?"
6339	ho did it?"
6339	said Beany,"A sore throat?"
6339	said Porky''sighing,"that''s how things went until to- day-- or I guess it was yesterday, was n''t it?
6339	tell you, how could I hear anything when I was asleep?
5707	''Ere, who are you a shovin''off?
5707	And then you found it was Ernest Graves?
5707	Another of them?
5707	Anything happen to you?
5707	Are we going to leave him like that, Harry?
5707	Are we to come tonight, sir?
5707	Are you going to try to fly in that machine?
5707	Are you sure of that, Gaffer?
5707	Are you?
5707	Because they can hide the heliograph? 5707 But I wonder why they''re here?
5707	But do you think you''ve killed him?
5707	But how am I going to get out of this trap?
5707	But how did you find out about us?
5707	But however do you know? 5707 But we''ve got aeroplanes flying about, have n''t we?"
5707	But what on earth does it mean, Harry? 5707 But where is Dick?"
5707	But wo n''t this be in German?
5707	But you can see my uniform, ca n''t you? 5707 But you see what I mean now, do n''t you, Dick?
5707	Ca n''t you imagine what fun we used to have here when we played about? 5707 Can we drag him?"
5707	Can you come on with me, Jack?
5707	D''ye see?
5707	Dick Mercer? 5707 Did n''t I see the machine myself-- a big grey one, with black stripes as ever was, like all their automobiles?"
5707	Did n''t you even know we had Boy Scouts in America?
5707	Did you notice anything queer about him?
5707	Did you see any sign of soldiers from London?
5707	Did you see him come into town this afternoon, Gaffer?
5707	Do n''t you know he''ll never come back?
5707	Do n''t you remember what we watched them heliographing some messages, and put down the Morse signs? 5707 Do n''t you see, Dick?
5707	Do n''t you see?
5707	Do you expect to locate the enemy''s cavalry from my tower room? 5707 Do you know where the telephone wire runs?"
5707	Do you see the sun flashing on something on the roof of that house over there? 5707 Do you think England is likely to have to go to war soon-- within a year or so, sir?"
5707	Do you think it''s another spy?
5707	Do you think you''re doing anything for England? 5707 Have you ever been up, Harry?"
5707	How can a war think, you chump?
5707	How did he know we were here?
5707	How did you get Dick out? 5707 How did you get out?"
5707	How far away do you think it ought to be, Harry?
5707	How many of them do you suppose are going?
5707	How many?
5707	How old is he?
5707	How? 5707 I have n''t done anything really wrong, have I?
5707	I say, are you Dick Mercer?
5707	I say, you do n''t talk like an Englishman?
5707	I suppose the steamers are fearfully crowded?
5707	I suppose you know that Harry''s an American, do n''t you?
5707	I wonder if they''d let us fight?
5707	I wonder if they''ll let me go? 5707 I''ll form a rear guard-- d''ye see?
5707	If the Germans go through Belgium, will that mean that we shall fight?
5707	If there really should be war, I mean?
5707	Is n''t it jolly?
5707	Is n''t it lucky that it''s such a fine day, Harry? 5707 It looks as if he had acted on that idea, too, does n''t it, then?
5707	It makes it seem as if we were really of some use, does n''t it, Harry?
5707	It''s better for a few people to be arrested by mistake than to let a spy keep on spying, is n''t it?
5707	Killed him? 5707 Live with your parents, do you?
5707	More of your Boy Scout work, sir?
5707	No questions?
5707	No-- by Jove, they do that, do n''t they, Harry? 5707 Now is there a telephone in your father''s house, Jack?"
5707	Now what shall we do? 5707 Off to the war?"
5707	Oh, I say, wo n''t Gaffer Hodge be in bed and asleep?
5707	Oh, ca n''t you see?
5707	Oh, you''re a scout, too, are you?
5707	On the public service?
5707	Remember this, Dick?
5707	Scouting, eh?
5707	See? 5707 So you are spying on my house, are you?"
5707	Spy? 5707 Suppose I scout into Bray?"
5707	Sure that it was an automobile from Bray Park?
5707	That is n''t what we expected, either, is it?
5707	That what they mean by the red light markers, then?
5707	That''s why you''re here, then, is it? 5707 The other one''s English, is n''t he?"
5707	The scouts are going to turn out and help, he? 5707 The thing to do would be to follow them, eh?
5707	The way we do in the scouts? 5707 Then you understand pretty well?"
5707	There, see that big tree, that blasted one over there? 5707 Von Wedel is a commander of some sort-- that''s plain, is n''t it?
5707	We''re to take the dispatches to Major French, at Waterloo? 5707 We''ve got to retreat, have n''t we?"
5707	Well, boys,he said,"what can I do for you?
5707	Well,said the officer,"what are you doing here?"
5707	What are you doing here-- spying on us?
5707	What are you doing here?
5707	What are you going to do?
5707	What did you tell him?
5707	What do you know about this?
5707	What do you make of it, Dick?
5707	What do you mean, Harry?
5707	What do you think you''ll do, Harry?
5707	What good would that do?
5707	What happened then?
5707	What is it, Harry?
5707	What''s that? 5707 What-- what''s this?"
5707	What? 5707 Whatever did you tell him that whopper about Croydon for?"
5707	When are you going to start?
5707	Where are those papers you stole from me, you sneak?
5707	Where can I get petrol? 5707 Where do you suppose those signals go to?"
5707	Where''s the colonel?
5707	Who are you?
5707	Who is he?
5707	Who will be in command? 5707 Why do n''t they use flags, then?"
5707	Why should n''t he see it?
5707	Why should you take all the risks when it is n''t your own country, especially?
5707	Why, Jack?
5707	Why, how can you make that out?
5707	Why, how could I? 5707 Why, there wo n''t be any fighting in England, sir, will there?"
5707	Why? 5707 Wireless, you think, my boy?"
5707	With this news--?
5707	Wo n''t he be glad to see me, though?
5707	Would it affect your business, dear?
5707	Would n''t they see those lights and wonder about them?
5707	Would you stay over here if there was a war, Harry? 5707 Yes, but who''s going to do it?"
5707	You carry orders concerning the movement of troops from Ealing? 5707 You mean that there will be Germans here trying to hurt England any way they can, do n''t you sir?
5707	You went through the village this afternoon, did n''t you? 5707 You''d want us to win, would n''t you, Harry, if we fought?"
5707	You''re going to stand with us, then, Fleming?
5707	You''re quite a doctor, are n''t you? 5707 You''ve seen him?
5707	''Du hast dein weg--''See?
5707	''Eh, what''s that?"
5707	''So you knew I was going?''
5707	''Then you think England will be drawn in, sir?"
5707	''We could be useful as sentries, then?"
5707	And I suppose I need n''t tell you that you must give it to no one else?"
5707	And did you hear them saying anything that sounded as if it might be useful, Dick?"
5707	And how was he coming?
5707	And if there are Germans there in any number, what could he do?
5707	And then to come back here?"
5707	And there were many women and children here, to bid farewell to the soldiers who were going-- where?
5707	And what happened to the cycles and the papers we hid there?
5707	And why should he need petrol?"
5707	And would n''t a German?
5707	And, I say, had n''t we better stay in the shadow?
5707	Are n''t you coming over?"
5707	Are you Boy Scouts?"
5707	But we do learn to do the things a soldier has to do, do n''t we?"
5707	But why did n''t we--""Try to arrest him?
5707	CHAPTER IV THE HOUSE OF THE HELIOGRAPH"You know your way about London?"
5707	CHAPTER XVI THE CIPHER"What happened to you?"
5707	Dick, do you see that house over there?
5707	Did he get away?
5707	Did n''t you see a very old man with white hair and a stick beside him, sitting in a doorway next to the little shop by the Red Dog?"
5707	Did they think, then, that he, a boy, could not understand?
5707	Did you ever hear of such a thing?"
5707	Did you see Graves tonight?"
5707	Do I see any fightin''?
5707	Do n''t you know it?"
5707	Do n''t you see you''ve go to go?
5707	Do n''t you think so, Dick?"
5707	Do n''t you think so?"
5707	Do n''t you want him to see us?"
5707	Do you see some wires dangling there?
5707	Do you see?"
5707	Do you think he can?"
5707	Do you think they will let us do that?"
5707	Do you think you could do that?
5707	Do you think you could get along all right if you were left here?
5707	Eh, Tommy?"
5707	Eh?"
5707	Fine sort of war this is?
5707	Franklin, I believe you are the senior patrol leader?
5707	Franklin, what''s your idea of what the Boy Scouts would be able to do?"
5707	Going over to Grenfel''s, are n''t you?"
5707	Going to Ealing, boys?"
5707	Had he urged his chum to leave him in his agony, for the ankle was badly wrenched, and seek safety in flight?
5707	Has n''t he lived here a long time?"
5707	Have you ever noticed anything funny about the way he talks?"
5707	Have you got any papers?
5707	Have you?"
5707	He comes, Von Wedel?"
5707	How are we going to stop them?"
5707	How can he do that?
5707	How did he know where they had been?
5707	I really hope it wo n''t, but I would n''t be surprised if i d did, would you?"
5707	I said,''Do n''t you wish you knew?''
5707	I say, what''s your name?"
5707	I suppose that''s why so many of our chaps join the Territorials when they are through school and start in business?"
5707	I suppose you know that is a serious offense, whether your original arrest was justified or not?"
5707	I think--""What?"
5707	I wonder why he does n''t like me?"
5707	I''ll see you in the morning, I suppose?"
5707	I''ll write a note to your scoutmaster-- Mr. Wharton, is n''t it?
5707	If there''s war I suppose a lot of you policemen will go?"
5707	If they''ve planned so carefully as this, would n''t they be likely to have country places, where they''d be less likely to be disturbed?"
5707	In the daytime Harry could find people to tell him which way Graves was going, could n''t he?"
5707	Is n''t that an awful idea, Harry?
5707	Is n''t there some side road that does n''t lead anywhere, where I can run in with the car while we talk?"
5707	It''s portable, is n''t it?"
5707	Now what on earth do they want petrol for?
5707	Now who did that?
5707	On His Majesty''s service, I suppose?"
5707	On top of that hill, do you see?
5707	Or else how am I to get away?
5707	Or were they so sure of success that it did not matter?
5707	Or would you go home?"
5707	Ought n''t I be allowed to do whatever I can, now that something like this has happened?"
5707	See her-- that great big cigar- shaped thing, dropping over there?"
5707	See it''s number?
5707	See?
5707	So that they would be free to go and fight?"
5707	Still-- a taxi cab driver, eh?
5707	Suppose we separate and take different ways to get to Waterloo?
5707	That all, is it, sir?
5707	That''s our motto, is n''t it?
5707	Then how can he get here?
5707	Then take him home with you, will you?
5707	They are to entrain-- where?"
5707	They go to Dover, then, I suppose-- no, perhaps to Folkestone--- oh, what matter?
5707	Want to listen?
5707	War?
5707	Was it just a few moments since he had urged, even commanded, Dick Mercer to leave him, caught in a trap set for just such trespassers as they?
5707	Was it just a week since Grenfel, his English scoutmaster, had bidden the boys of his troop goodbye?
5707	Was it just two days since father and mother had been so suddenly recalled to the States?
5707	Was it little more than a week, thought Harry Fleming, since he had uttered those words so lightly?
5707	We could do a lot of things instead of soldiers, could n''t we?
5707	We shall have to be alert and watchful, and do whatever there is to be done...""Who will be scoutmaster, sir, if you go to the war?"
5707	Well, can we help any more here tonight?"
5707	What are we to do, then?''
5707	What are you going to do, boy?
5707	What did it mean to them, to England?
5707	What did you mean when you told him you knew more about me than you did about him?
5707	What do you mean?"
5707	What do you suppose that is?"
5707	What information concerning the British plans could they get that would be worth all they were risking?
5707	What on earth do you make of that, Harry?"
5707	What troop and patrol?"
5707	What was he going to do when he came?
5707	What will they be up to next-- those Germans?
5707	Where are you?
5707	Where do you think your search will lead you, Fleming?"
5707	Where is he?
5707	Which thousand men would be ready to go to the front first?"
5707	Who was Von Wedel?
5707	Who would be honored by the first chance?
5707	Why not admit it?"
5707	Why not?
5707	Why should he think it would be hard for them to explain their actions?
5707	Why should n''t he?"
5707	Why?
5707	Why?"
5707	Why?"
5707	Will you come along?"
5707	Will you suggest the names of two scouts for this service?"
5707	Would any Englishman say that, Dick?
5707	Would n''t that make it safer?
5707	Would n''t you like to fly her though?"
5707	Would they let you go?
5707	Yes?
5707	You going away, sir?
5707	You know where you are to be, Jack?"
5707	You might use a motorcycle-- know how to ride one?"
5707	You see where there''s a shadow by that central tower?
5707	You think it''s sort of funny and a bit of a misfortune, do n''t you, to be anything but English?"
5707	You understand thoroughly, do you?"
5707	You understand?"
5707	You will remember that?"
5707	You would n''t want a lot of German roughs to come and destroy your house or your shop and handle you that way, would you?"
5707	You would try to put out that fire, would n''t you, to save your own house from being burned up?
5707	You''ll give my message to Mercer or Young if there''s any way of getting the line clear?"
5707	You''re caught in a trap, are n''t you?"
31389	Ai n''t it a storm after all then?
31389	Ai n''t we going ashore to see if I did just happen to bowl that old bear over?
31389	Ai n''t you gettin''anywhere yet, Giraffe?
31389	Air yuh agoin''tuh let us go free in the mornin''?
31389	And I reckon, now, Eli?
31389	And after we''ve managed to track them to their camp, what then?
31389	And do n''t you feel a little uneasy about your ears, Jim?
31389	And looky thar, d''ye see they gut guns? 31389 And of course your wife has often wished she could see her father again, Jim?"
31389	And that something, Jim?
31389	Are you all ready, Step Hen?
31389	Are you hinting that it was all a part of a dark scheme to burn us out of camp?
31389	Are you sure you did put six cartridges in the magazine before we left?
31389	As how?
31389	Be yuh agoin''tuh tie us up?
31389	But do n''t you think they might be able to pull us down just by force of numbers, Thad?
31389	But do you suppose he''ll stick to those two tough characters, and keep them with him in his new job? 31389 But if they keep right along comin''at us?"
31389	But look at his antlers, would you, Thad?
31389	But now, Jim; tell me about who gave you the orders you were saying something about a while ago?
31389	But the partridges are too big and heavy; they wo n''t ever cook through?
31389	But what I meant when I asked that, was, do you want to head toward camp now; have you had enough hunting for to- day?
31389	But what on earth could they expect to get by burning us out?
31389	But what sort of an animal was it, Thad?
31389	But why should the wardens be afraid of just three men, when they have the law on their side; that''s what I''d like to know?
31389	But you ai n''t_ quite_ satisfied, are you, Thad?
31389	But you just know I c''n do it, do n''t you?
31389	But, say, do n''t you think there''s a pack around here, right now?
31389	Cale Martin?
31389	Caleb Martin, eh?
31389	Can we make the pond, Jim?
31389	Cried her putty eyes out, awantin''tuh see her dad,he admitted;"but what cud a man do''bout hit, if Cale, he wudn''t forgive me?
31389	D''ye suppose, then, he''s keepin''our bally tent; and wo n''t we ever set eyes on the same again?
31389	Did I g- g- get him?
31389	Did I get him, Thad?
31389	Did you get a good picture, Davy?
31389	Did you get badly hurt anywhere, in the fire?
31389	Did you give a shout, Davy?
31389	Did you hear one?
31389	Did you hear that and was n''t it a nasty snarl, though?
31389	Do you imagine we''ll stack up against anything like that, Jim?
31389	Do you mean Cale and Si and Ed?
31389	Do you mean Old Cale Martin?
31389	Do you think he''ll come back again to- night?
31389	Do you think it''s already swept down on the Martin cabin?
31389	Does that explanation go, Thad?
31389	Feel better, do n''t you?
31389	Feel like another spell of it, eh?
31389	First tell me if anybody was hurt?
31389	For why?
31389	Fox raising?
31389	Fust place they never oxpected tew burn ther camp,observed Jim;"ef they he d, doan''t yew believe they''d agone tew windward tew start thet blaze?
31389	Good gracious, was n''t that a pig?
31389	Got it?
31389	Got one, have n''t you Bumpus?
31389	How about that, Jim; must we turn around, and go back, just because this feller that thinks he owns the whole north of Maine, says so?
31389	How about that?
31389	How about the fire, tell me that? 31389 How about you, Allan?"
31389	How do you feel about it now?
31389	How do you think it started?
31389	How far away are we now from the cabin?
31389	How far d''ye think it is, Thad?
31389	How far is it across from here?
31389	How long ago was that, Jim?
31389	I do, eh?
31389	I guess everybody''s got his hand raised against the poor old wolf, ai n''t they?
31389	I rung the bell then, Thad; did n''t you hear me?
31389	I see, you''re afraid of a heavy snowfall, that would make the going and coming a hard job; is that it, Jim?
31389	I suppose that was Old Cale in the bow?
31389	I wonder now, was that a wildcat growling?
31389	It lies over there on our right, do n''t it?
31389	It''s him, is it, Jim?
31389	Just listen to the critters yawp, would you, Thad? 31389 Listen to him talk, would you?"
31389	Listen to the innocent, would you?
31389	Looks right gamey around here; how''s that, Thad?
31389	Looky there, Thad, what''s that thing lying over yonder? 31389 May I, Thad?
31389	Me? 31389 Not thinking of changing your mind, are you Jim?"
31389	Nothing new happened, then, Jim?
31389	Now what?
31389	Now, ai n''t it a shame,he went on to say,"how that deer just knew we were coming?
31389	Now, however could you tell that, when everything looks bright, and oh- be- joyful to me up yonder?
31389	Right at''em?
31389	Same here; and now how are we agoin''to cook''em?
31389	Say, do you mean about them wolves?
31389	Say, quit that melancholy subject, wo n''t you?
31389	Say, whaz yuh doin''here? 31389 See here, d''ye want to take a header square into the blaze, Step Hen?"
31389	Seems like he does n''t fancy you any too much, Jim?
31389	Shall we start in plucking the feathers off these birds, Giraffe?
31389	Sounds like an elephant might be coming down on us; but they do n''t have such animals up here in the Maine woods, do they? 31389 Sounds like there was n''t much love lost between you and this same Cale Martin?"
31389	Suppose you tell me what that is?
31389	Thad, ca n''t we look up that one I shot now; I''d just hate to lose him, you know?
31389	That''s so,he observed,"we ai n''t got a sign of a frying- pan, have we?"
31389	The deer can easily escape, I suppose, being so fleet of foot?
31389	The work of big Cale Martin and his crowd? 31389 Them''s my sentiments exactly, Thad; but tell me how we''re agoin''to prevent''em, wo n''t you?
31389	Then as I take it, Jim, you do n''t really want to avoid Old Cale, this fiery father- in- law of yours; in fact, you mean to see him face to face?
31389	Then he must have seen you, Jim, sitting here?
31389	Then the wind''s changed, has n''t it?
31389	Then you asked him for something, did you, Jim?
31389	Then you must be hungry?
31389	Then you want to keep on hunting?
31389	There, that''s done; and now what?
31389	Thet you, Thad?
31389	This country seems to be rather sparsely settled up here?
31389	Wall, they hain''t any, d''ye see? 31389 Wat yuh want us tuh do?"
31389	We do n''t stand for much nonsense from outsiders, do we fellers?
31389	Well, can you blame him?
31389	What d''ye take me for, Giraffe?
31389	What did you do, Allan?
31389	What do you mean?
31389	What in the wide world did you go and get a big ten bore for, when you''re such a short fellow?
31389	What is it, Jim?
31389	What is?
31389	What it it, Jim?
31389	What makes you ask that?
31389	What next, I wonder?
31389	What was he doing that for?
31389	What was it banged us over, Eli?
31389	What was that?
31389	What we goin''to do, Giraffe?
31389	What would you do, Bumpus,said Step Hen, after a while,"if you could n''t find a creek to wade in, with the fire all around you?"
31389	What you doin''there, Giraffe?
31389	What you mean, Giraffe, by slingin''that scare into me; I''d like to know what''s worse than starvin''to death in a single night?
31389	What''s all that?
31389	What''s that sticking out of the pocket of your coat?
31389	What''s that?
31389	What''s to be done about it, Jim?
31389	Whatever can we do, Giraffe?
31389	Where''s my left shoe?
31389	Who cares?
31389	Who''s gone and took my left shoe? 31389 Why not?"
31389	Why not?
31389	Why should he tell yuh anything tuh say tuh me; an''how''d he know I was acomin''up this aways?
31389	Why, ai n''t it a part of my business to start the fire every time?
31389	Why, is n''t that a black bear, Jim?
31389	Why, what a silly you can be, Bumpus; do n''t you know I promised Thad never to carry a single match around with me? 31389 Why, whoever stuck that in there?"
31389	Why?
31389	Will they escape, Jim?
31389	Will we make it, Jim?
31389	Yes, what is it, Step Hen?
31389	You do n''t say?
31389	You just keep athinkin''that perhaps it_ was n''t_ an accident after all? 31389 You know him, even at that distance, then?"
31389	You must mean the rest will be wanting to make a supper off the critter you killed; is that it, Thad? 31389 You''re pretty near at the end of your rope, ai n''t you?"
31389	A nice pair of chumps we''d be, would n''t we, if we went and shot up a pet cow, and had to pay damages?
31389	A scout never wants to waste the good things of life like that, does he, Thad?"
31389	Am I right, now?"
31389	An''so ye gut a pack o''prime venison to tote home as well, hev ye?
31389	And Bumpus, it came in right pat, did n''t it?"
31389	And I know you''ll say the same, eh, Thad?"
31389	And ai n''t we going to get ever so much money for recovering the stolen stuff?
31389	And in advance, we hand our united thanks to Bumpus; or will it be Giraffe?"
31389	And say, it does feel some handy, do n''t it, Thad?"
31389	And so you managed to run away with the old man''s daughter, did you?
31389	And so you think Cale is n''t altogether so bad as we''ve heard?"
31389	And what''s wrong about my getting the blaze in my own way, tell me that, Bumpus?"
31389	And when it once gets going, I reckon it can burn some, eh, Allan?"
31389	Are they such cannibals as all that?"
31389	Bumpus, got that other coward covered, have you?"
31389	But I''m afraid my luck has turned, and we wo n''t sight another deer this blessed day; do you, Thad?"
31389	But about when do you think we''d better hike out across country for the Martin cabin, Jim?"
31389	But do n''t they sing sweetly, though?
31389	But how on earth were they to tie the two men up?
31389	But if_ somebody else_ sets fire to the woods, I have as good a right to look as the next one, ai n''t I?"
31389	But say, ai n''t it gettin''cold though?
31389	But them tracks was as plain as anything, wa''n''t they, Eli?"
31389	But we never meant to go to sleep there by the fire, did we, Davy?"
31389	But where in the dickens is that camp, south, north or east?
31389	Call if you lose sight of me, Bumpus, d''ye hear?
31389	Could he suspect that Little Lina had sent a message to him?
31389	D''ye hear me?"
31389	D''ye think we mout git away by thet time?"
31389	Did he get him, boys?"
31389	Did n''t we make the capture though, and astonish Sheriff Green?
31389	Do n''t it look good, though?"
31389	Do n''t tell me it_ ai n''t_ a match after all?
31389	Do n''t you let''em do it, Thad, will you, even if we have to fight for it?"
31389	Do n''t you think he ought to be sent to bed, Mr. Scoutmaster?
31389	Do you have any idea where he''s gone?"
31389	Er, what d''ye mean, Step Hen?"
31389	Go on, Ed; what yuh standin''back fur?"
31389	Got anythin''to eat''raound here?"
31389	Had n''t we better change the programme, Thad?"
31389	Hear that, fellows?"
31389	Hoofs?
31389	Hope I did n''t hurt you any?"
31389	How about it Eli; was that one just then giving tongue?"
31389	How about that, Jim?"
31389	How about that, Thad?"
31389	How about that?"
31389	How c''n a feller tie''em up when he ai n''t got even a top string with him?"
31389	How''d them same birds tasted raw?
31389	How''s everybody up to the old place?"
31389	How''s that?"
31389	However in the wide world do you suppose that happened, Eli?
31389	I ai n''t had a blessed match on my person since I gave that promise, have I, Thad?
31389	I wonder now----""What?"
31389	If only Giraffe were with us now, would n''t he be in his glory, though?"
31389	Illustration:"Can we make the pond, Jim?"
31389	Is that what you''re aiming to tell us, Thad?"
31389	Is that why you''re slapping your arms around so?"
31389	Just hear the racket he keeps making Thad; whatever do you suppose we''re up against now?"
31389	Just switch off, and try it on one of the others, wo n''t you?"
31389	Know me?
31389	Let''s see, I believe their names were Si Kedge and Ed Harkness; was n''t that it, Jim?"
31389	Now, shall we go on again?"
31389	Now, what was you agoin''to do, you said?"
31389	Say, where are we anyhow, and how far from the camp?"
31389	Say, wo n''t we be careful of that one precious match, though?
31389	Scout Master?"
31389	See him, Step Hen?"
31389	Shall we be generous, and throw them out the balance of the venison, to show them how we like their song?"
31389	So we''ll act like we''re havin''the time of our lives; and do n''t you ever go and let on that we felt scared even a little bit, hear now?"
31389	So ye got sum o''the critters, did ye?"
31389	Some people tell me it c''n be done by going hungry a week or two at a time; but what''s the use of living if you ca n''t eat, that''s what?
31389	Step Hen went on;"seems to me it was another name from that?"
31389	Tell me, wo n''t the fellers stare when we walk into camp drivin''these jail birds before us?
31389	That would have killed him in a short time, I just guess, do n''t you, Thad?"
31389	Understand, Bumpus?"
31389	Was it a limb that fell on you?"
31389	Was n''t it Davy Jones?
31389	Was she all he had?"
31389	We got a fine leetle buck here as Si fetched down with his big bore cannon; only fur him the deer''s been in ther next county afore now, eh, Si?"
31389	We''ll have our game broiled, Bumpus, see?"
31389	Well, what''s to hinder our trying that same old game?"
31389	Were any of them in danger from the fire?
31389	What could I say to your father and mother if there was no Step Hen to answer to the roll- call, when we mustered out after this Maine hunt?
31389	What d''ye think he did, fellers?
31389	What if he had been consumed by a sudden deep curiosity to know what really caused the other to take the risk and come up here?
31389	What if the sly old cat was at that very moment creeping up on them?
31389	What will we do now?
31389	What''s next on the little programme?
31389	What''s up, Eli?"
31389	Where''s the rest o''the bunch?
31389	Who said I could n''t start a fire by sawin''at my fiddle till I burst a blood vessel?
31389	Whoever is it with him, d''ye think; why, see, there are two of''em, and men, not boys of the Silver Fox Patrol?"
31389	Why ca n''t they let_ my_ things be, Thad?"
31389	Why did n''t Giraffe quit his fooling with that silly old bow, and take to thinking up some scheme that was worth while?
31389	Wo n''t somebody tell me what to do?"
31389	Won''they queer his game with the company, Jim?"
31389	Wonder how Giraffe''s gettin''along with his sawin''?
31389	Wonder what the boys''ll say when they hear about it?
31389	Would a coward dare come up here, when he knew how you hated him, and had it in for him?
31389	You did handsome by us, and we''ve been saved from disgrace that would have sent us into an early grave, hey, Davy?"
31389	You hear me, Bumpus?"
31389	You must let me handle things, Bumpus, because, you know, I''m more used to-- what''s the matter with you?
31389	You will, wo n''t you, Thad?"
31389	Yuh got us fur keeps; an''we ai n''t squealin'', is we, Si?"
31389	_ did_ we get him, Thad?"
31389	are you agoin''to fight?"
31389	asked Thad, immediately;"when the wolf is no respecter of persons, and will pull down anything that can be used for food?
31389	echoed Bumpus, aghast;"say, then it was n''t that old poacher after all, was it?
31389	got any licker?"
31389	he cried, jumping up and down in his excitement;"why do n''t you blaze away, and knock my buck over?
31389	he demanded quickly;"was it the work of some mean feller, after all?
31389	he exclaimed, as he still ran forward after his chum;"we did get him all right, did n''t we, Thad?
31389	he muttered;"you did the business, all right, did n''t you?
31389	listen to that, would you, Thad?"
31389	mercy, what do you mean, Thad?"
31389	said Thad, admiringly;"but I suppose you understand what risk you''re taking in trying that game?
31389	thinking of the grub before you take me into consideration, are you?"
31389	what does that kind of talk stand for?"
31389	what is it, Giraffe?"
31389	what is this?"
31389	what you up to, now, you Jones boy?
31389	what''s that?"
31389	what''s the matter, Bumpus?
31389	what''s the use of bothering, when you''ve got somebody else to do your thinking for you?''
31389	where did I put my gun?"
31389	who cares for that?
31389	why_ did n''t_ you knock him over when you had the chance, Thad?"
31389	will I?
31389	you do n''t say so, Giraffe?
31389	younkers, lookin''arter yer deer, hey?"
32354	A mine; what kind was it, Toby; who lost it; and why have n''t they been able to find it any more?
32354	A wolf is layin''behind them vines; did n''t you hear her give tongue like sixty? 32354 After snatching all you did too, when you went off?"
32354	Ai n''t it possible to creep up closer, Toby? 32354 Allan, is n''t he the young brave we saw hovering around our camp before, and who would n''t stop to be questioned?"
32354	And do n''t be long about passin''that same around, will ye? 32354 And how about your game limb, Giraffe-- was it the right, or the left you bruised so badly on the stones when you fell?"
32354	And just to think of his name being John Kracker; now, what boy could ever keep from twisting that around, and calling him a cracker- jack?
32354	And nobody has ever managed to locate it again, since that day so many years ago; is that what you mean, Toby?
32354	And so you boys have come away out here just to see what we''ve got in these Rockies, eh?
32354	And so, after you learned where he was, and how he came to be thar, I reckon now you boys started to climb up and rescue the other-- how?
32354	And that''s what brings you up here right now, I reckon; you mean to find that hidden mine, and claim it for your mother, and the girls?
32354	And that''s what you call finding the long lost silver mine, do you?
32354	And the chances are, they''ll want to drop in here, now that they know he''s taken up with us?
32354	And the hunting?
32354	And they left him there, did they?
32354	And what do I not owe to you, and the chums of the Silver Fox Patrol? 32354 And when we want to, we can crawl out ourselves, ca n''t we?"
32354	Are you satisfied, Fox, now that you''ve recovered your property-- if that is all he took from your home?
32354	As how? 32354 Boy Scouts, eh?"
32354	Bumpus, what in the wide world are you chuckling at, back there?
32354	But I can begin to see the figure of the wolf now; can you?
32354	But be_ aw_ful careful of that rope, wo n''t you, Thad?
32354	But how about our hunting?
32354	But if he is, how in the dickens could he get the fire to signal with; that''s what bothers me?
32354	But if that was so, how did it come that he never once asked us if we knew a boy by the name of Aleck Rawson?
32354	But the hunting ought to be fine, do n''t you think, Toby?
32354	But think what it''s been for me?
32354	But think what we''ve done since, will you?
32354	But we''re going in, Thad; ai n''t we; you wo n''t let that stand us off, after coming so far, will you? 32354 But what are you waiting for, Thad?"
32354	But what was Aleck doing up there; and where was he at the time?
32354	But what would he be praying for, tell me?
32354	But where''s the rattler?
32354	But why do n''t I see it, then?
32354	But you wo n''t let him get away, will you, Thad?
32354	Can this be him, then; has he been a prisoner all these years?
32354	Can we get up to where you are?
32354	Can you make them out, and is it a bear?
32354	Colonel Knocker did-- will you come and get me?
32354	Come at me again, will you? 32354 Course I am; what d''ye take me for, Toby?
32354	Did Allan send you in to tell me?
32354	Did you ever hear the equal of that?
32354	Did you get him, Thad?
32354	Did you think you heard a voice again?
32354	Do n''t you think we ort to let the rest know what we''re expectin''to do?
32354	Do you expect that this was the only whelp?
32354	Do you feel able to walk with us down into the valley to our camp?
32354	Do you mean Kracker?
32354	Do you mean the fire, Toby?
32354	Do you really think they have gone for good, Toby?
32354	Do you see that, Mr. Rawson, sir? 32354 Do you think we''re close enough, Thad?"
32354	Found what you were looking for?
32354	Get anything?
32354	Go on, then; what is it?
32354	Has he taken to growing a pair?
32354	Have you a bead on her head, Aleck?
32354	Having a hunt up here in the mountains, are you, boys?
32354	He''s just talking for the fun of hearin''himself, that''s what?
32354	How about it, Toby?
32354	How about some of those moonshiners down in North Carolina? 32354 How about that, Toby?"
32354	How about these wolves; shall we drag them out, and throw the carcases away in some hole?
32354	How d''ye expect they ever found that Aleck was no longer on the ledge?
32354	How d''ye suppose he did do it?
32354	How did you get there?
32354	How is that?
32354	How is the cripple crowd coming on these days? 32354 How long would it take us to get up there?"
32354	How much further do we have to climb, Toby?
32354	How much longer do we have to wait for grub?
32354	I do n''t see hide or hair of it, though, Toby?
32354	I was ready to back you up; but then what could you expect from a greenhorn? 32354 If that boy does know the secret, he''s going to open up while he''s got them scouts to back him, ai n''t he?
32354	If we only could warn them?
32354	Is that Sheriff Bob McNulty?
32354	Is that a fact?
32354	Just like I said, ai n''t it, Thad?
32354	Just the four of you?
32354	Kracker and his two men had caught Aleck; and unable to make him tell what they wanted, what do you think the cowards did? 32354 Kracker around here, is he?
32354	Look at Giraffe, would you?
32354	No danger of those fellows coming back to investigate, do you think?
32354	Now I wonder what next?
32354	Now what d''ye think of that? 32354 Now what sort of people could ever be guilty of such a horrible thing as that, I''d like to know?"
32354	Now what?
32354	Now, how''d he know that, Allan? 32354 Now, what d''ye say that for?"
32354	Other older man,--name Artemus Rawson.--Get that?
32354	P''raps, suh, he had a son?
32354	Perhaps it was the other cub, Thad?
32354	Praying?
32354	Rawson-- why, that was the name of the man who found the silver mine up in this country, was n''t it, Toby?
32354	Say looking for Aleck-- that he has robbed uncle-- headed down valley when left here-- Understand that?
32354	Say, Thad, is that agoin''to interfere with our startin''out on our little excursion?
32354	Say, you do n''t mean to tell me they shot a sheep?
32354	Seems to me we ought to see him, if he''s still there?
32354	Shall we go on, now?
32354	Show the old fraud to us, will you? 32354 Sounds to me like that Waffles?"
32354	That all?
32354	That must be the cubs; yes, listen to them growl, would you? 32354 The clue to the lost mine?"
32354	The original discoverer of the wonderful silver mine that has never been located since that time, so long ago?
32354	Then he must have guessed that we knew something about Aleck?
32354	Then it looks like he might a come out of them vines?
32354	Then it''s a she wolf?
32354	Then why''d you turn back, when we was all started for a place where we could git all the eats we wanted, with money to pay for''em?
32354	Then you think the old chap is in there now, do you?
32354	Then you''re of a mind that they have suspicions?
32354	Then you_ do_ know about that?
32354	Think what a guy I''ll be if so be ye do hit, and cut my pore ears off, jest in spite work?
32354	This was when?
32354	Up a place like this?
32354	We ai n''t, hey?
32354	Well, I got him, all right, did n''t I, tell me that?
32354	Well, if that does n''t beat anything?
32354	Well, just to think of it, here''s another Fox, all right?
32354	Well, listen to him, would you; he seems to be begging somebody not to hurt him? 32354 Well, was n''t I wise, then, in sayin''we had ought to snatch up some grub, to bite at on the way?"
32354	Well, why not?
32354	Whar d''ye reckon the critter kim from now?
32354	What are you goin''to do, Thad?
32354	What had we better do, stay around here, or try and work a little closer back to camp, to see what has happened there?
32354	What is it?
32354	What is it?
32354	What is that coming this way?
32354	What is the matter?
32354	What makes you say that last, Thad?
32354	What might that be, suh?
32354	What sort of a land- mark was it you saw?
32354	What sort of chance would we have, a lot of greenhorns who never yet saw a silver mine; against an old- timer like him? 32354 What under the sun does he mean by that talk, Thad?
32354	What was it?
32354	What was that last he said?
32354	What''s he doing now?
32354	What''s that to you?
32354	What''s that you say?
32354	What''s that?
32354	What''s this? 32354 When they took you a prisoner, they searched you, of course, hoping to find the valuable paper?"
32354	Where are you?
32354	Where is it right now, Giraffe?
32354	Who are you?
32354	Who asked you to put your finger in my business?
32354	Who is he; perhaps I might happen to know him?
32354	Who put you there?
32354	Why, what''s this mean, Toby; you a forest ranger camping with a parcel of kids?
32354	Why, you little imp, d''ye know what I''ve a good notion to do with you for this insulting talk?
32354	Why? 32354 Will you have Aleck hide himself?"
32354	Wonder if we''ll see anything more of''em again?
32354	Wonder what he thinks?
32354	You mean Aleck, I guess, do n''t you, Toby?
32354	You mean we''ll just have to work around, and get up there above the place where_ my_ big- horn lies, as dead as a door nail; is that it, Toby?
32354	You''re going to be some keerful, I take it?
32354	You''ve been sizing up the region all day in camp, and laying your plans, if the chance ever came to try them out; is n''t that so, Aleck?
32354	Your father, then, was Jerry Rawson, I take it?
32354	Aleck, are you here?"
32354	Allan hardly knew what to say; but boldly taking up the cudgels he presently remarked:"Well, Mr. Sheriff, what else could we do?
32354	And how under the sun could Thad be warned of the impending trouble?
32354	And now, do we start back to the fissure in the cliff, Thad?"
32354	Anymore?"
32354	Anything new at the camp?"
32354	But never mind about that, Toby; shall I shove this thing over now?"
32354	But seems to me we''ve gone about as close as we ought to, Aleck?"
32354	But what was there to be feared from a mere parcel of half- grown boys?
32354	D''ye reckon he tells the same way you would?"
32354	Do n''t you think so, Toby Smathers?"
32354	Do you expect this can be the silver lode, Thad?"
32354	Do you suppose they''ve gone, and had a falling- out among themselves, and the colonel is threatening to finish his man for running away?"
32354	Easy now with that rope back there; Step Hen, hold to the mule, and keep him quiet, will you?"
32354	First thing Smithy and me want to know is, what under the sun was it all about?"
32354	Fox, you sure must remember me, Aleck; and the good times we used to have, when I lived close to the Reservation?"
32354	Get that, Kracker?"
32354	Give me a hand, wo n''t you, please; I''m ashamed to say my legs seem so silly stiff at the knees I just ca n''t straighten''em out?
32354	Glad to meet up with you; and by the way are you Silver Fox, Red Fox, or Black Fox; though to be sure they all belong to one family?"
32354	Have you got a rope along with you?"
32354	Have you got your gun all ready to shoot, Aleck?"
32354	Have you loaded up again?"
32354	Here''s our camp, ai n''t it?
32354	Hope you''re not limping with that other leg, now?"
32354	How about it, boys?"
32354	How do?
32354	How''s that for a crowd, tell me; and did n''t we come out on top every time?"
32354	I b''lieve they''re weakenin''some, sure I do; but what about me?
32354	I suppose you are Colonel Kracker?"
32354	I wonder, now, has he seen me at work; does he think I''m a traveling photograph man, and wants me to strike him off, in his warpaint and feathers?"
32354	If these here mountings began to roll over on us, we''d be in a nice pickle, now, eh?
32354	Let me have the pleasure of knocking him over, and putting him out of pain?"
32354	Let''s clear out of here?"
32354	Meanwhile, how fared the ambitious big- horn hunters?
32354	Mebbe you would n''t mind tellin''me, to ease up the pain in my legs; while Waffles, he''s astartin''that ere fire?"
32354	Now what d''ye reckon that ere rumbling noise was, we all heard a while ago?
32354	Now where''s the warrant for arresting Aleck, your nephew?
32354	Now, I reckon more''n a few of you saw my service hat on my head just a little while ago; but tell me where it is now, will you?
32354	P''raps you''ve got a guide along with you, too?"
32354	Ready all the while, are you?"
32354	Say, this is what we''ve been lookin''forward to a long time, ai n''t it, fellers?"
32354	Scout Master, please?"
32354	See anything yet, Aleck?"
32354	So Aleck, he was to make himself scarce, was he?
32354	Somebody blow the fire, and make it cook faster, wo n''t you?"
32354	Step Hen asked, eagerly;"or might they just make believe, and hang around here to see if we had Aleck Rawson hidden away somewhere?"
32354	Step Hen, any more snake bites?
32354	Tell me how it can be done, wo n''t you?"
32354	Tell us why you do this?
32354	Thad, can_ you_ tell me where my hat is?"
32354	That old bear trap sure took a nasty grip on your leg, did n''t it, though?"
32354	Then what?
32354	Then, remember Si Kedge and Ed Harkness the game poachers we met later on; and how they were sorry they''d ever bothered with the Silver Foxes?
32354	There he goes now, and see him limp, will you, fellows?
32354	They brought their nerve along with''em I reckon, Toby?"
32354	Think I want to go to my own funeral in a hurry?
32354	Understand all that, Aleck?"
32354	Understand that, sir?"
32354	Was it a voice you heard, Thad?"
32354	We gave''em what they needed, did n''t we?
32354	We''ll keep his friends quiet meanwhile, eh, boys?"
32354	Well, it takes a lot of different people to make a world, do n''t it, fellers?"
32354	What d''ye suppose he did it for?
32354	What do you think, Thad?"
32354	What if these men stayed there until morning, how were the boys to leave?
32354	What might that be?"
32354	What''s this?"
32354	Whatever is that man doing?"
32354	When he had spelled a sentence he would almost invariably add the query,"understand?"
32354	Where come by?
32354	Who sneaked it off me, tell me that?
32354	Why, what was the world coming to, when mere boys began to hold the whip hand, and shape things as they pleased?
32354	With that he turned to the prisoner, and went on to say:"Can you understand; do you know what I am saying?"
32354	Would they mind what he said; or, thinking that orders from a mere boy were not to be taken seriously, would they insist on advancing further?
32354	You do n''t mean to carry the lantern lighted, do you, Thad?"
32354	You said Step Hen was wild to get a big horn, did n''t you, Allan?"
32354	You say the boy had fallen into their hands, and that you rescued him?"
32354	You say you saw me put it there?
32354	You tell the boys what I did, wo n''t you Toby; I''m feelin''kinder tired like?
32354	You understand what I''m saying, I guess, do n''t you?"
32354	asked Davy Jones;"will wolves be apt to rob Smithy of his hard- earned laurels?"
32354	demanded the other, quickly;"do you get a scent of it, too?"
32354	did you hear anything?
32354	do we abandon my big- horn, then?"
32354	do you mean men may be near us?"
32354	do you really mean it, Step Hen?"
32354	how can I ever thank you for getting me out of that scrape?"
32354	is that it sticking up there in the tree, Giraffe?
32354	once more you''ll have it, will you?
32354	please fix it for us, wo n''t you?"
32354	say you so, boy?"
32354	shrilled Smithy, wonderfully excited again;"It must be the sheep I struck with my bullet; see how the poor thing drags that leg after him?
32354	so_ you_ had a touch of the lost mine fever, too, did you?"
32354	that''s it, eh?
32354	was n''t that too cruel of him now, to just bound off on his horns like they were skies, and get on his feet again?
32354	what d''ye suppose ails him?"
32354	what white boy say?"
32354	who goes there?"
32354	you do n''t say?"
32354	you do, eh?
32354	you must mean that big cannon Kracker, and his two friends?"
31487	Alive?
31487	And I brought him back, did n''t I?
31487	And about my suspicions that he informed the outlaws of the underground passages?
31487	And came in with you and ordered his dinner?
31487	And fresh meat there, too?
31487	And if we refuse?
31487	And our badges?
31487	And what did those boys come out for?
31487	And what do you boys propose to do with him?
31487	And where did the detectives go?
31487	And why not?
31487	And you left it lying there?
31487	And you remember, too,he continued,"how mysteriously the three men disappeared last night?
31487	And you''ve been walking ever since?
31487	Are we going down now?
31487	Are you boys ready to take a trip to the north?
31487	Are you boys really going to cook breakfast in the cavern?
31487	Are you going back to camp now?
31487	Are you going to surrender?
31487	Are you hungry?
31487	Aw, what have I done?
31487	Aw, what''s eating you?
31487	Aw, who said anything about leaving camp?
31487	But how did you come to walk up into this country?
31487	But how?
31487	But they were on horseback, and I was on foot, so what could I do? 31487 But where are you going to take us?"
31487	But why should they do a thing like that?
31487	But you''re here, ai n''t you?
31487	By the way, Tommy,asked Chester with a slight chuckle,"where''s the bear meat you left the camp to get for breakfast?"
31487	Ca n''t we have our guns?
31487	Ca n''t you see that there''s a movement in the shadows about a hundred feet, to the north?
31487	Can you do it?
31487	Can you see who they are?
31487	Chicago men are they?
31487	Did I have a fall?
31487	Did he tell you the name of the man he expected there that night?
31487	Did they stop or say anything to you as they passed?
31487	Did you believe him to be in earnest?
31487	Did you build a fire in there?
31487	Did you come here with your father?
31487	Did you ever seen anything like it?
31487	Did you fellows have the nerve to come in here after us?
31487	Did you find a fire burning in the cavern?
31487	Did you get him?
31487	Did you get the rock fixed?
31487	Did you hear any significant sounds?
31487	Did you hear anything in this tunnel?
31487	Did you immediately leave the vicinity of the bank?
31487	Did you say you knew John Johnson well?
31487	Did you see any one entering the mouth of this tunnel?
31487	Did you see that?
31487	Did you see them?
31487	Did you take a big piece of bear meat in there?
31487	Do n''t you know that the boy who stole my property at your camp is connected with an escaped convict?
31487	Do n''t you suppose I know that chuckle?
31487	Do n''t you think we can do a better job with them out of the way?
31487	Do they claim to be here on business?
31487	Do we stand here and let these brutes come up and smell of our clothes before we do any shooting?
31487	Do you belong with this bunch?
31487	Do you know that every person in the state of Wyoming will be believing that we really belong to your crowd if this thing keeps up? 31487 Do you know the way to the other end?"
31487	Do you know what I think?
31487	Do you know where you are?
31487	Do you know why?
31487	Do you mind that, now?
31487	Do you really think Wagner and the boy are out of provisions?
31487	Do you really think they are the train robbers?
31487	Do you refer to the Fremont case?
31487	Do you think I''d string up a lot of babies?
31487	Do you think anything can be done tonight?
31487	Do you think he''s with that crowd on the other side of the gulch now? 31487 Do you think so,"asked Will,"because of that light in there?"
31487	Do you think the paper was wrapped around the rock?
31487	Do you think this Wagner person is here?
31487	Do you think those fellows are all right?
31487	Have I come into the home of the Forty Thieves? 31487 Have you boys reached a conclusion?"
31487	Have you got a place to cook it?
31487	Have you got a star, too?
31487	Have you got any coffee?
31487	Have you got anything to eat in this secluded retreat of yours?
31487	He is innocent of the crime of which he was convicted, is n''t he?
31487	He sent you in here just to tell us that?
31487	He''s always dodging away without any one knowing what''s in his mind!?
31487	How did you know we were ever in Chicago?
31487	How do you know we did?
31487	How long do you think they''ll stay here?
31487	How long have you been here?
31487	How many of these medals has he?
31487	How''d you ever find it?
31487	How''s your shoulder?
31487	I do n''t see anything of Katz, do you?
31487	I would n''t be talking if I was dead, would I?
31487	I''ve told you about how he wanted to move to this cavern, have n''t I? 31487 If they have, where are their badges?"
31487	If you''re not in with these bandits, what are you doing here?
31487	If you''re not mixed up with this escaped convict,Katz demanded,"what are you doing here?"
31487	In what way?
31487	Is it yesterday or today?
31487	Is n''t this the spot from which the men disappeared?
31487	Is that right, Chester?
31487	Is that right, George?
31487	Is that so?
31487	Is your camp headquarters for outlaws?
31487	Joke is it?
31487	Let''s see,Will said, nudging George in the ribs,"you went after Tommy to bring him back, did n''t you?"
31487	Like what?
31487	Look here,Chester went on,"that would be a reason for the train robbers hanging to father, if they found him, would n''t it?"
31487	Now what do you know about that?
31487	Of course, you''ll go if the notion comes into your heads, anyway, so what''s the use? 31487 Oh, you went out after the robbers, did you?"
31487	Pretty nervy kind of a fellow, eh?
31487	Say, what time is it?
31487	Say,Katz exclaimed, trying to move toward the outlaws,"how did you get here?
31487	Say,Tommy whispered to George,"that ai n''t so bad, is it?
31487	Say,the boy asked,"are you getting to be such a liar that you just ca n''t tell the truth?"
31487	Say,the boy went on,"did n''t the cowboys drop their weapons quick when they saw those shining muzzles?"
31487	So that passage out there is really the place where the mysterious disappearance took place? 31487 So they got you, too, did they?"
31487	So they pinched you for being associates of ours, did they?
31487	So you can vouch for these lads, can you?
31487	So you have been reading about that, too, have you?
31487	So you know about that, too?
31487	Strange boy?
31487	Suppose I go and hurry him up?
31487	That boy did n''t do a thing to Will, did he?
31487	That sounds like Harrison street station, do n''t it? 31487 That was funny, was n''t it?"
31487	That was the third degree, was it, then?
31487	That''s a pious notion, too?
31487	The man at the head of the cowboys?
31487	Then how do you know there''s some one coming?
31487	Then the sheriffs and their men are not far away?
31487	Then what''d you back up against this rock for?
31487	Then why do n''t they find this fellow and bring him forward?
31487	Then why should he lie about his home city?
31487	Then you are thinking of remaining in the mountains for some time?
31487	Then you heard what the robbers said about some one having moved the stone, or gone in during their absence?
31487	Then you knew what had taken place?
31487	Then you''re going to camp in the mountains, I take it?
31487	These detectives,Will asked in a moment,"are here to take Wagner back to the penitentiary if they can find him, I suppose?"
31487	This seems to be a nice quiet Boy Scout excursion, does n''t it?
31487	To our gang?
31487	Was it the truth you said about his asking you to call and help us out if we needed assistance?
31487	Was n''t George and Tommy, was it?
31487	Was there a train robber at your camp last night?
31487	Watch us when we go away?
31487	We came out to get grizzly rugs for our clubroom in Chicago, did n''t we?
31487	We saw them coming toward the cave, did n''t we?
31487	Well, shall we move on down to see if we can find an outlet?
31487	Well, then, do n''t you see,Chester continued,"that they must have been speaking of father?
31487	Well, what are they going to do about it?
31487	Well?
31487	Were you ever a Boy Scout?
31487	Were you with him in Chicago just before he left for Wyoming?
31487	What Patrol?
31487	What about it?
31487	What are those fellows going to do now?
31487	What are you boys camping there for?
31487	What are you boys doing with the third or fourth supper?
31487	What are you boys talking about?
31487	What are you doing here?
31487	What are you doing to my chum? 31487 What are you going to do?"
31487	What are you kids out at this time of night for, anyway?
31487	What are you men doing in there?
31487	What are you prowling about in the night for?
31487	What are you prowling around for?
31487	What are you prowling around in the night for?
31487	What are you talking about grizzly bears for?
31487	What did you say?
31487	What did you want to go and do that for?
31487	What do you fellows mean by coming here and taking possession of our camp?
31487	What do you know about that?
31487	What do you make of it, Cullen?
31487	What do you think it is?
31487	What do you think of this for an elevator?
31487	What does it mean?
31487	What else could I do?
31487	What for?
31487	What for?
31487	What for?
31487	What has Horton got to do with you?
31487	What is it you want father to testify to?
31487	What makes you go certain this man is a Chicago detective?
31487	What next?
31487	What took place?
31487	What was it one of you boys said about these two detectives?
31487	What were they doing to you?
31487	What you going to cook?
31487	What''d you do that for?
31487	What''s coming off here?
31487	What''s doing here?
31487	What''s that making all that noise?
31487	What''s that?
31487	What''s the good of that?
31487	What''s the idea of that?
31487	What''s the matter now?
31487	What''s your name?
31487	Where are you going, boy?
31487	Where are your extradition papers?
31487	Where did you get them?
31487	Where is he hurt?
31487	Where is the fugitive from justice?
31487	Where''d you come from?
31487	Where''d you get him?
31487	Where''s that boy who stole my property?
31487	Where''s the strange boy who slept with you last night?
31487	Where''s your friend?
31487	Where?
31487	Which way did the cowboys go?
31487	Who are you?
31487	Who do you think is going away with the boy in search of his father?
31487	Who else was in the building at that time?
31487	Who is it?
31487	Who is it?
31487	Who is that person with him?
31487	Who is this boy?
31487	Who told you that?
31487	Who were the detectives?
31487	Who were the three men?
31487	Who''s going to stay awake?
31487	Who''s got the key?
31487	Who''s sheriff of this county?
31487	Why ca n''t you tell him the whole story?
31487	Why did n''t you come on in?
31487	Why did you tell that fellow we were from Detroit?
31487	Why do n''t you go and ask them if they would n''t like to have us dig a hole to put them in?
31487	Why do n''t you go on and arrest some of these men?
31487	Why do n''t you take some one of your own size?
31487	Why do n''t you wait and have some of the supper I''ve been cooking for you?
31487	Why do you think that?
31487	Why does n''t he come in?
31487	Why not go to the camp?
31487	Why not?
31487	Why walking?
31487	Will you give me something to eat if I come up?
31487	You do n''t suppose he''s come on here to pinch one of us, do you?
31487	You do n''t think he''s run away, do you? 31487 You know who he is?"
31487	You must have been here some time?
31487	You really think they stand in with these outlaws?
31487	You refer to the Fremont case?
31487	You remember that trip to the Florida Everglades, do n''t you?
31487	You remember the old channel running in from the southeast?
31487	You think he''s a cheap skate, do you?
31487	You think they''ll follow you down to camp, do you?
31487	You were in the bank that July night?
31487	You''re Katz, are n''t you?
31487	You''re one of these Boy Scouts, I presume?
31487	And how he spent considerable time here?"
31487	And so the kid stole the detective''s badge and weapons and money, did he?"
31487	Are you alive?"
31487	By the way,"he went on,"where''s Tommy?"
31487	CHAPTER X ONE DANGER TO ANOTHER"How do you know the bears are out there in the cave?"
31487	CHAPTER XVI CULLEN LOSES HIS STAR"So these are the detectives, are they?"
31487	Ca n''t you understand that?"
31487	Can you see what he is saying?"
31487	Did you expect to find Wagner there?"
31487	Did you get the steak?"
31487	Do n''t you think I know the earmarks of a Chicago detective?"
31487	Have you got a pair of handcuffs with you?"
31487	His voice was piteous as he asked:"So you know all about that, too, do you?"
31487	I do n''t suppose you boys care to be wakened if we have any more midnight visitors?"
31487	I went out after bear steak for breakfast, did n''t I?
31487	Or would he stay at the camp?"
31487	Say, but they did get out of sight quick, did n''t they?
31487	The boys now all trooped to the tent where Mr. Wagner had been placed and Chester asked:"Do you know why these boys are here, father?"
31487	The father glanced keenly from his son to the others and finally asked, his voice trembling with excitement:"Why should they take an interest in me?"
31487	There was silence for a moment and then Tommy was heard to ask:"What''s become of our chaperons?"
31487	Well, I got it, did n''t I?"
31487	What did you say?"
31487	What kind of a game do you call this?
31487	Where are you going?"
31487	Where the three men went up in the air?"
31487	Who built the fire in your old cave?"
31487	Who had built the fire in the cavern?
31487	Who had taken the bear meat there?
31487	Will you do that, boys?"
31487	Will you do that?"
31487	Will you go?"
31487	Will you help us get him?
31487	You remember how they told two stories, do n''t you?
31487	You remember the night he was at our camp, and we were getting something to eat?
31487	You''ll come, wo n''t you?"
31487	grinned Tommy,"How''d you like to have a few bites of it?"
31487	replied Sandy,"He says he wants-- now what do you think of that?
22644	Ai n''t that the place where yer camp is?
22644	Am I willing? 22644 An''you think I''d steal a plan from a mate?"
22644	And I suppose you told him so?
22644	And how are we to get it?
22644	And the easy life is n''t the best life is it, you hard old Brick? 22644 And what is the first thing for me to do?"
22644	And you saw them so clearly you are quite sure they are the same men?
22644	And you think if you could make it a lake again you could sell it to these wealthy people?
22644	Anything doing, Jake?
22644	Apple go with me?
22644	Are n''t you friendly?
22644	Are we almost there?
22644	Are you coming too?
22644	Are you one o''them scouts or ai n''t you?
22644	Are you sure it''s the same?
22644	Are your legs paralyzed?
22644	At what time, sir?
22644	Brick, Brick, where did you get that head?
22644	But do n''t you think we ought let scoutmaster see it? 22644 But since you ca n''t help having''em, you are n''t going to let''em keep you down, are you, Brick, old top?"
22644	But what''s that got to do with it?
22644	But you ai n''t going to shut us out?
22644	Can you get the car down?
22644	Could you start it again?
22644	Did I tell you I''d be bringing my partner over this evening, too?
22644	Did he dream himself tied up with cords cutting in so sharp they left red welts and took half hour to get circulation going?
22644	Did he go to town again?
22644	Did n''t bring your bread- box''long, did ye, Matt?
22644	Did n''t one of''em say chart was drawn from description Indians gave?
22644	Did n''t you see a boy on it?
22644	Did you dig?
22644	Did you say not much that matters? 22644 Did you worry about me?"
22644	Do n''t you know ye have?
22644	Do n''t you suppose they''re staying here so as to look for that stuff in the cave?
22644	Do you have to drill?
22644	Do you know how much I''d give to have these marks cleared off, if I had the money?
22644	Do you notice all the new stores in town-- all because of the Colony? 22644 Do you see what we''ve named it?"
22644	Do you suppose we''ve worked away here so long that it has got to be dark without our knowing it?
22644	Do you want to back out?
22644	Ever see tire- tracks look like that, did you?
22644	Find it rather hard to carry your lines through all that brush, do n''t you?
22644	Found the treasure, son?
22644	Goosey is in Bear Patrol, and he''s a friend of mine, ai n''t you, Goosey?
22644	Got after you, did he?
22644	Happened right around this neighborhood, too? 22644 Hide the car, too?"
22644	How about Deep Springs?
22644	How about that bee tree you were going to get, Chick- chick?
22644	How about the other two men?
22644	How about your head, Matt?
22644	How can he stay under so long?
22644	How do you know we want to follow? 22644 How is it?"
22644	How is that?
22644	How long would a letter stand the weather? 22644 How many people were riding?"
22644	How many scouts are in for this?
22644	How shall I help you?
22644	How would it be to mark that for''Deep Springs''and put the mark for''Twin Elms''just where the two elms you speak about are?
22644	How''s it come you go to town so often and I do n''t ever get to go, Nixy?
22644	How''s that boy you hit?
22644	I do n''t know?
22644	I object?
22644	I suppose you get along with the same name?
22644	Is it true that there''s reward of five hundred dollars for the bank robbers?
22644	It would n''t make a big enough hole to let us out, would it?
22644	Leave the wagon just like this?
22644	Never mind''bout readin''that too close,objected Mr. Jervice,"what we want to know is did you ever see a place like that?"
22644	Now what do you suppose that Indian''s doing? 22644 Oh, did you say Gates?"
22644	Oh, that''s the way, is it? 22644 Perhaps you do n''t know how much that tooth is worth?"
22644	Round here somewhere, is n''t it?
22644	Running what?
22644	Send me back to the reform school?
22644	Shall we leave car at Buffalo Center, or run right on to camp an''show the booty?
22644	Sheriff out this way?
22644	So that''s the treasure story, is it?
22644	So you got''em?
22644	So you''re the boys that got the car away from the peddler, are ye?
22644	So you''ve run away from the reform school, eh? 22644 Some strong man, ai n''t you, Brick?"
22644	Supposing they did n''t put it in the lake at all? 22644 That field of corn?"
22644	That would n''t be right, would it?
22644	The question is are you reformed, are you reforming, or are you worse than ever?
22644	Then there must have been some holes or something-- oh, say, did you lift up that shelf of rock we lay on that night?
22644	They got over an hour''s start, so we''ll have to go some-- Hello, have they been stopping here?
22644	Think perhaps you''ll start your survey at an obtuse angle or an angle of sixty degrees, which?
22644	This Glen Mason fellow you speak about-- is he one of your regular scouts?
22644	This remind ye of any place around your camp?
22644	Too much cold water? 22644 Was it Jonathan Gates?"
22644	Was it?
22644	Was n''t it done right?
22644	Well, he says,''You kids know why I always wear a bandage round my right arm when I play tennis?'' 22644 Well; this other fellow, now; the one you never had seen before?
22644	Well?
22644	What are you doing here?
22644	What attention do your teeth need?
22644	What changed''em?
22644	What d''ye mean it''s a yarn, Matt?
22644	What dat''bout recipe fo cake? 22644 What do we want with boys?
22644	What do you know about it?
22644	What do you mean by going off together?
22644	What do you mean-- never tell anybody?
22644	What do you reckon they are?
22644	What do you think?
22644	What do_ you_ know about the treasure?
22644	What elevation do you work from?
22644	What good''ll that do?
22644	What have n''t I told you, boy?
22644	What hour?
22644	What is it?
22644	What kind of a tire made''em?
22644	What makes you think the cave is between our camp and the top of Buffalo Mound?
22644	What shall we do about this?
22644	What shall we do if he is n''t to be seen and the peddler wo n''t let us look inside?
22644	What was that?
22644	What would you do with it?
22644	What you going to do when we get there?
22644	What''s his real name?
22644	What''s matter? 22644 What''s meanin''of''Twin Elms''and''Deep Springs''?"
22644	What''s that young fool saying about''Twin Elms''and''Deep Springs''?
22644	What''s that?
22644	What''s the excitement?
22644	What''s the matter of you, backin''out thaterway?
22644	What''s the matter with right now?
22644	What''s the matter, Glen?
22644	What''s the matter? 22644 What''s the matter?"
22644	What''s the matter?
22644	What''s the matter?
22644	What''s the trouble, scouts?
22644	What''s to do, now, Brick?
22644	When are you going to hunt them out?
22644	Where are you running your levels for the Vinegar Creek survey?
22644	Where d''ye look, Brick?
22644	Where did we get this dandy road?
22644	Where did you get these things?
22644	Where''s Nixy?
22644	Where''s he been?
22644	Where''s the opening we came in at?
22644	Where? 22644 Which one?"
22644	Which''ll it be?
22644	Who are you?
22644	Who desires to bear the lights which shall lighten the way of this candidate as he enters the mysteries of scoutcraft?
22644	Who has first right there-- who are the discoverers?
22644	Who is sponsor for this candidate?
22644	Who says I ca n''t?
22644	Who was it?
22644	Who''s spyin''?
22644	Who''s that you''re going to run out?
22644	Whose heirs?
22644	Why are you moping around with a face like the reverse side of a frying- pan? 22644 Why are you putting that light out, Chick- chick?"
22644	Why do n''t you go up an''find out about''em?
22644	Why do you suppose they''ve left it here?
22644	Why do you want to go to the dentist, Glen?
22644	Why not go now and see it?
22644	Why not? 22644 Why not?
22644	Why not? 22644 Why not?"
22644	Why not?
22644	Why peculiar?
22644	Why would it be such a fine thing?
22644	Worth that much to Matty?
22644	Would n''t you like a little help?
22644	Would taking their car away stop them?
22644	Would you like to stay and work with me and learn how to run a farm?
22644	Would you like to stay here, Glen?
22644	Yes, but did it ever happen?
22644	You do n''t mean to say Brick Mason''s lying?
22644	You know something about the country?
22644	You mean below camp?
22644	You mean run away with it?
22644	You say he has run away from the reform school?
22644	You think they intended to rob the bank to- night?
22644	You too, Matt?
22644	You want the dentist to go over them to find what is the matter, do you?
22644	You wo n''t give my secret away?
22644	You would hardly care to enlist half a man, would you?
22644	You''fraid, Apple?
22644	You''fraid, Brick?
22644	You''re dead sure about him?
22644	You''re not getting scared, Chick- chick?
22644	You''re sure they''re fresh?
22644	''Tain''t my fault if he does n''t always seem to reciprocate, is it, Bob?"
22644	''What made you so positive these eggs were fresh?''
22644	''You''re sure these are fresh?''
22644	Ai n''t seen any one, have ye?"
22644	An''as I went back saw Brick Mason outside his tent swingin''hammer, an''I says,''Ai n''t ye scared, Brick?''
22644	An''why would n''t it be a cave?
22644	And he was goin''to make ten dollars taking you back?"
22644	And leave me in the lurch?"
22644	Are you crazy?
22644	Are you one o''them scouts as seen''em yestiddy?"
22644	Are you strong?"
22644	But Mr. Newton says,''D''ye know who walketh upon the wings of the wind?''
22644	But, do n''t you see, old brick head, how much better chance this gives you to get your discharge from the reform school?
22644	Ca n''t you see anything better than that?"
22644	Carved in ancient script were the words: YE BREAD BOX"And you do n''t object to that?"
22644	D''ye hear me?"
22644	D''ye know what I''m goin''to do with you?"
22644	Did n''t we get out of that cave?"
22644	Did n''t you see the way they knocked him over?"
22644	Did n''t you?"
22644	Did ye know that all o''that treasure was claimed by the heirs?"
22644	Did ye see him?"
22644	Did you ever cut corn in the old fashioned way?"
22644	Did you get that?
22644	Did you know that a lot o''that bullion had been got out and was held in the bank here at Buffalo Center?"
22644	Do n''t you think?"
22644	Do you mind?"
22644	Do you see that cottage at the corner?
22644	Do you want to back out?"
22644	Had he been right in thinking that the service of Jesus was not for such as he?
22644	Has any one seen him since ten o''clock?"
22644	Head hurt ye?"
22644	How does that sound?
22644	How old are you?"
22644	How would we be squaring him?"
22644	In a bread- box?"
22644	Is it serious?"
22644	Is it your round face and red cheeks?"
22644	It was rubber one, too, why do n''t you say?
22644	It would be a great thing for us to capture this gang of thieves, would n''t it?"
22644	Jervice?"
22644	Makes quite a romantic story, does n''t it?"
22644	Newton?"
22644	Page 198] Where was that deputy?
22644	Say, what''s loose board here?"
22644	Somebody asked me once,''How does it come you talk so well?''
22644	Supposing they hid it in a cave?"
22644	Take a spade and dig?"
22644	The one thing is, are you through with it all, are you willing to turn away from yourself and enlist under the banner of the cross?"
22644	The only question is will you enlist?"
22644	They say Indian cave an''think Indians have hid treasure there; why not?"
22644	Upon my--""Upon your what?"
22644	Was Matt trying to intimate that Glen had found the cave because of some confederacy with the Jervice gang?
22644	Was he at the swim?"
22644	Was it better to choose one evil than another?
22644	Well, why do n''t ye wear one o''them uniforms, so''s to make ye look like one?"
22644	What are they?"
22644	What can we do with him?"
22644	What d''ye s''pose Apple''s doing?"
22644	What d''ye say?
22644	What did he look like?"
22644	What do you recommend?"
22644	What do you think of your new home?"
22644	What does he do to get on the right track?
22644	What else could it be?"
22644	What good would it do to tell the boy''s mother that her son was brave, or helpful, or adventurous, or daring?
22644	What he do that for if cave ai n''t there?"
22644	What is it?"
22644	What makes you suppose Mason has gone in the car?
22644	What now?"
22644	What will he be doing while we explore his cave?"
22644	What would it avail to tell her that in preparation for manhood scouts must develop daring and courage?"
22644	What''s difference between tree and a plant?"
22644	What''s that got to do with a treasure hunt?"
22644	What''s the matter with them being the other two of Jervice''s gang?"
22644	What''s the wise thing to do?"
22644	Whatever made you bring him here with his sad story?
22644	When are you going to get up a posse?
22644	When will be the best time to hunt for it?"
22644	Where was the deputy?
22644	Where ye goin''to find treasure?"
22644	Where''d you go?"
22644	Who d''ye reckon?"
22644	Who do you suppose yanked them up?"
22644	Who pulled me out of the water?"
22644	Who were the boys who wanted to work with you, Matt?"
22644	Who''ll go with me?"
22644	Who''s the other two?"
22644	Why ai n''t this good place as any for bee make her happy cupboard?"
22644	Why are you leaving the car?"
22644	Why do n''t you go and see?"
22644	Why should Mr. J. Jervice laugh?
22644	Why''d my pa let me come to this wild place?
22644	Will that pay you for your goods?"
22644	You begin to see where you get off?"
22644	You can show us the way, can you?"
22644	You fellers got any matches?"
22644	You know any caves around here, boy?"
22644	You think you can keep in your head the exact location where he dived?"
22644	You think you''ll get along all right while I go up the Mound to- night?"
22644	You was expectin''to see this man Jervice, was n''t ye?"
22644	You would n''t take the money, would you?"
22644	You''ll draw him all maps he wants when we get to camp, wo n''t ye, Apple?"
22644	You''ll find the camp a half mile up Buffalo Creek as wild as ever, and do you know what they''ve named it this year?"
22644	echoed Mr. J. Jervice;"this boy been doing anything?"
44882	A good lesson all around, eh Thad?
44882	A grizzly, I reckon?
44882	A wild cat; a bear; and capturing a couple of-- what are they, Thad, pirates, or just plain hold- up men? 44882 A wolf?"
44882	Ai n''t he the cute one, though?
44882	Ai n''t we going to pick up the trail at the place we lost it, or back where the old cat hangs?
44882	All right, Giraffe?
44882	And be slowly but surely gaining, all the while?
44882	And followed after our chum?
44882	And hung up by the hind legs to that limb; now who could have done that?
44882	And if he did, and happened to discover all our footprints, what d''ye think the blessed innocent would do?
44882	And of course Hank and Company started out on the new trail, because I can see the marks of their brogans?
44882	And surprise him, eh? 44882 And take another look at the cat, will you?
44882	And then Bumpus, he opened on him, did n''t he?
44882	And then it jumped at you?
44882	And what''s that?
44882	And_ after_ the storm, too?
44882	Are we going to lay out some sort of plan, and then follow it up; or just go meanderin''around, every- which- way, trusting to sheer luck?
44882	Are you hurt much, Allan?
44882	Ask me something easy, please? 44882 Bumpus, you mean, do n''t you?"
44882	But Bumpus had n''t camped yet, had he?
44882	But Bumpus left here this morning, of course?
44882	But Thad,remarked Giraffe,"when they get to thinking it over, do n''t you reckon now they''ll guess they did n''t do any damage?"
44882	But how can we, when we dassn''t shout even, for fear of telling the fellers around that camp- fire all about us?
44882	But how could he, Thad? 44882 But how d''ye know he did this?"
44882	But if you grew uneasy, it ought to have been your business to call us in?
44882	But now that we''ve decided on that little tree test of memory, had n''t we better be going ahead? 44882 But of course you could n''t make it?"
44882	But that fence?
44882	But this is the end, ai n''t it, Thad?
44882	But we''re all right here, ai n''t we?
44882	But what are we agoin''to do?
44882	But what do you mean in particular?
44882	But what had we better do-- head back for camp, and give our poor old chum Bumpus up for good?
44882	But what is their line-- just plain scamps, or timber cruisers?
44882	But what would Bumpus want to go and hack a paw off the old cat for?
44882	But what would we want to find it for?
44882	But what''s the programme?
44882	But who''d want to act funny when all that racket was going on, Thad?
44882	But why not keep on with the light?
44882	But why should n''t it be?
44882	But why was I silly when I said we might run across a village up here?
44882	But you wo n''t take any chances, will you, Thad?
44882	But-- did they keep on after Bumpus?
44882	But-- does it move any, Giraffe?
44882	But-- how are we agoin''to find Bumpus, then?
44882	D''ye mean to say that old wind could take a kink in itself, and come back on us?
44882	Did I, Thad; you saw where I left him?
44882	Did they change their course right here, Allan?
44882	Did what?
44882	Did you ever hear such thunder?
44882	Did you kill it, Bumpus?
44882	Do n''t see him a waiving to us, up in one of those trees?
44882	Do n''t things look just fine and dandy around here, though?
44882	Do we crawl in, Thad?
44882	Do you know who he is?
44882	Do you know, Allan?
44882	Do you mean about leaving fires burning when breaking camp, and the danger of the wind carrying the hot ashes among the dead leaves?
44882	Do you think they knew who Bumpus was?
44882	Do you want a torch?
44882	Does it hurt?
44882	Found us? 44882 Frightened; what at?"
44882	Gnaw it off-- ain''t you romancing, now, Allan?
44882	Got what?
44882	Had n''t we better have some light here to work by, Allan?
44882	Has a bumble bee stung him on the nose?
44882	Have we gained any on Bumpus?
44882	Have you any idea where this tree is, Giraffe?
44882	He seems to keep us guessing, do n''t he?
44882	He''s got that much lead, then?
44882	How about going around, and letting the old thing alone?
44882	How about it, Giraffe?
44882	How about it, Thad?
44882	How about that, Allan?
44882	How about that, Thad, Allan?
44882	How about that, Thad?
44882	How d''ye know that?
44882	How d''ye tell that?
44882	How did it end?
44882	How do_ you_ know?
44882	How far behind Bumpus?
44882	How in the wide world would Bumpus ever guess it was_ us_ made the tracks?
44882	How is it?
44882	How''s that?
44882	However did he do it?
44882	Huh? 44882 I calculate you are referring to the torch business?"
44882	I hope you''re not hurt much, Allan?
44882	I s''pose I did; but he was too far away for my buckshot to bring him down,declared Bumpus;"but I hit him, did n''t I, Thad?"
44882	I said Bumpus could do it, did n''t I?
44882	I see Hank and Pierre are keepin''right along?
44882	I wonder, now,Giraffe remarked, his thoughts naturally turning in the one direction,"was he able to make a fire?
44882	In what way, Allan?
44882	Is he surely dead?
44882	Is-- do you think it''s Bumpus?
44882	Jest think o''it, Pierre Laporte, they''s askin''o''me ef I ever run acrost Toby Smathers? 44882 Just as Thad said, what''s a ducking, when you think of taking chances with a thing like this?
44882	Just what it was,flashed out Giraffe;"but how did you know that?
44882	Just why?
44882	Let''s see, when was it I noticed the same?
44882	Listen to him, would you?
44882	Look at him jerk, would you?
44882	May we talk now, Thad?
44882	Meaning Hank and Pierre, of course?
44882	No use trying to pick up his trail to- night, is there?
44882	Notice that it''s died out altogether now, fellers?
44882	Notice that shattered trunk partly standing yet? 44882 Now, the question is, what do we want to do-- what would seem to be our best course?"
44882	Now, what d''ye suppose, scared the fools that way?
44882	Reckons now, as none o''ye ever run acrost Toby; air thet right?
44882	Regardless of Hank and Pierre, eh?
44882	Say, Thad, was_ this_ what the buzzards scented far off, and gathered here to make their dinner off?
44882	Say, has anybody seen my sweater around?
44882	See him sniffing, would you? 44882 See?"
44882	So right here,Step Hen broke in,"Bumpus was on the run, achasin''fast after the limpin''grizzly?
44882	Sure I do,admitted the other,"but how d''ye know now that wreckage came from my tree?"
44882	TENDERFOOT? 44882 Tell me who else could?"
44882	Tell me, did you see his left hind leg drag_ just a little_, when he landed on that limb?
44882	Tell us?
44882	Tenderfoot? 44882 The ones up in the clouds, you mean, I suppose?"
44882	Then Bumpus had, say twelve hours the start?
44882	Then here''s where Bumpus must a spent last night?
44882	They generally do that, do n''t they, when they''ve discovered something worth while?
44882	Think you could shin up that tree, in case the other old Mountain Charlie came prowling around?
44882	Think you got all the old poison out, Thad? 44882 Trail seems to lead that way, do n''t it?"
44882	War his name Bumpus?
44882	Was one of them about makin''''a fire after a rain?''
44882	Was this snake coiled when you first saw it?
44882	Was this track made this morning?
44882	We throws up ther sponge, me an''Pierre, do n''t we, ole hoss?
44882	Well, how''re you agoin''to find this place again?
44882	Well, suh, why do n''t you do that, and help us out of a bad scrape?
44882	Well, what could you expect, Bumpus?
44882	Well, what d''ye think of that?
44882	Well, you had your chance, did n''t you?
44882	What are they?
44882	What are you putting that lot aside for, Davy?
44882	What can we do, Thad?
44882	What d''ye call that, eh? 44882 What d''ye suppose made him do it, Thad?"
44882	What do you make of the trail, Allan?
44882	What does it all mean?
44882	What had we better do?
44882	What have you?
44882	What if he got lamed up too; would n''t that just be the limit?
44882	What if they run across our innocent chum, poor old Bumpus?
44882	What if they''re coming after us?
44882	What in the dickens ails the beast?
44882	What in the dickens is he up to?
44882	What is it?
44882	What is it?
44882	What next?
44882	What on earth can we do?
44882	What time d''ye suppose it is, Thad?
44882	What was it doing then, Step Hen?
44882	What would you do?
44882	What''s all this mean?
44882	What''s struck you as funny, Thad?
44882	What''s that yonder?
44882	What''s the matter?
44882	What''s thet? 44882 What''s this mean, Thad?"
44882	What?
44882	Where are you, Allan?
44882	Where is it? 44882 Where then?"
44882	Where''s Bumpus? 44882 Where''s Bumpus?"
44882	Which leg?
44882	Who are they?
44882	Who knows but what we might run across a deer; or one of those Rocky Mountain big- horn sheep?
44882	Who''d ever think he had it in him?
44882	Who''d ever think it of him?
44882	Who''ll tell his folks?
44882	Whose fire would this be, d''ye think-- Bumpus'', or Hank''s?
44882	Why could n''t we use that nice, old hiding- place, Thad?
44882	Why d''ye say that?
44882	Why is it, I''d just like to know?
44882	Why not?
44882	Wonder what he had to eat?
44882	Worst of what?
44882	Would you believe it, looks like an old stake and rider country fence, left alone to go to the waste years ago?
44882	Yes, that was the name; do you happen to know him?
44882	Yes, that''s all right, Thad; but how would a tenderfoot like Bumpus know all about these things?
44882	Yes, what is it, Thad?
44882	You do n''t say?
44882	You do n''t think they''d be apt to hurt Bumpus, do you, Thad?
44882	You know, we decided that Bumpus went along here right soon after the storm yesterday afternoon, and while the ground was still soft?
44882	You mean if the trap had been new instead of worn out, Allen?
44882	You mean in case we lost the fire, or did n''t find Bumpus with those two rascals?
44882	You must believe that fat chum of ours is waking up, Thad? 44882 You told him how to dig out the dry heart from a stump or a log, to start his fire with, did n''t you, Thad?"
44882	Ai n''t thet a good joke, though?
44882	And every boy should do the same; for what does a wetting amount to, beside the peril of sudden death?
44882	And how about the feathers-- got a pillow handy you can rip open?"
44882	And now here''s Allan''s footprint-- do you see anything about that you''d be likely to recognize if you ran across it again?"
44882	And that other threatening sound, could it be the wind playing havoc with the tall trees?
44882	And what if he had been tempted to seek shelter in a hollow tree, not having a wise scoutmaster handy, to warn against the evil of such a thing?
44882	Are you ready?"
44882	Bumpus was always ready to follow at the heels of some one who led; but who ever knew him to start out on his own hook?"
44882	But Thad, do n''t it look like my leg''s beginning to swell?
44882	But for all he''s so fat, sure Bumpus ca n''t be heavier than either of those big broad shouldered husky men?"
44882	But tell me, Giraffe, please where would you get the tar, up in this big timber wilderness?
44882	But then, what was there to fear?
44882	Catch on to it, now, Giraffe?"
44882	D''ye see that light bunch of scrub just beyond?
44882	Did anybody see my gun?
44882	Do n''t you glimpse that pile of branches over there, scattered in every direction?"
44882	Do n''t you see how he limps when he puts that old_ right_ leg down?
44882	Do something for me, Thad; what are you grinning at, Giraffe?
44882	Do you understand what I say?"
44882	Great stunt, ai n''t it boys?"
44882	Hank Dodge and Pierre Laporte?"
44882	Have you met up with our lost pard?"
44882	Hear that, Step Hen?"
44882	Here, what''s the matter with you, Old Eagle Eye?
44882	How about it, Allan?"
44882	How''s that now?"
44882	I do n''t believe we''ve lost any, do you, Thad?"
44882	Immediately Bumpus called out:"What''s that lumbering along over yonder, Thad?
44882	Is that plain enough?"
44882	Is that the poison going through my system?
44882	Just look beyond, and see if you c''n discover our brave chum up a tree somewhere?"
44882	Just tell us, will you now, how he''d be so dead sure of this?
44882	Look at that jump, would you?
44882	Marks of what, Thad?"
44882	Might not this one prove to be such, and throw down more of these giants of the woods?
44882	None of us really know; but we can give a pretty good guess, eh, boys?"
44882	Ready?
44882	Scoutmaster?"
44882	See any down coming along?"
44882	Step Hen?"
44882	Tell me I ai n''t got the eye of an eagle?
44882	Tell me if you see anything strange about him?
44882	Tell us how?"
44882	Tell us where?"
44882	Thad, come here, and give me a hand, will you?
44882	Thad, tell me, did anybody ever get bit by a rattler, and live?
44882	Then Step Hen, who had managed to recover his lost breath, broke forth with:"Is it Bumpus, Thad?"
44882	There, what did I tell you; he''s laid it down beside him, Thad?"
44882	Toby Smathers, did ye say?"
44882	Was it possible their poor comrade could have sunk out of sight under that smooth deceptive surface?
44882	We do n''t want a tenderfoot like Bumpus to beat us out, do we?"
44882	What d''ye mean by it, younker?"
44882	What do you mean by that?"
44882	What if Giraffe had broken a leg in taking this tumble?
44882	What if he was unlucky enough to run across''em?
44882	What if he''s got a broken leg?
44882	What if he''s wounded so bad he had to pull one leg after him?
44882	What is it, Allan?"
44882	What is it, Allan?"
44882	What was the other?"
44882	Whatever could Bumpus be doing there?
44882	Where was it he struck you?
44882	Where''s my gun?
44882	Would n''t we be in a nice pickle though?"
44882	Would wonders ever cease, Thad thought?
44882	You''re sure he made it, are you, Thad?"
44882	ai n''t I got ears, an''did n''t one o''ye call out that same name when ye was agoin''ter walk inter our camp?"
44882	am I?
44882	and do we have to take water from a painter?"
44882	d''ye mean these rowdies, Hank and Pierre?"
44882	did you ever see blacker clouds?"
44882	is that so, Thad?"
44882	it ca n''t be as bad as that, can it, Thad?"
44882	let somebody else have a try, wo n''t you?
44882	s''pose you take a squint up to where the legs are tied to the limb of that tree, Giraffe?"
44882	said Allan, suddenly,"I wonder now what started him to running?"
44882	say, listen to that, would you?
44882	see her tear, would you?"
44882	that red spot?
44882	then you''re the very man we''ve been looking for, eh?"
44882	then you_ do_ see something?"
44882	what d''ye think about that?"
44882	what if he gobbles it all up, whatever will we do, stranded away up here?"
44882	whatever can that be, hanging yonder from the limb of that tree?"
44882	why not?"
44882	will you have to cut my leg off, to save me?
44882	would n''t this give Smithy a heartache though?"
44882	you aimed to take him on the left hind leg, did you?"
44882	you do n''t mean to say that you found your bear, Bumpus, and actually bagged him?"
20434	Ai n''t this a great find, though?
20434	Ai n''t this fine and dandy, though?
20434	Alone, or with you?
20434	Am I going to swell up any more, Thad; and will you just have to put hoops on me to keep me from bursting?
20434	And Thad, do I have to give up these nice clean sheets; and crawl in between the folds of a nasty, rough, tickly blanket?
20434	And boys, do n''t forget we owe a lot to our guest-- what was that you called him, Smithy-- Bumpus?
20434	And do you think he would remember you?
20434	And he told you he wanted to meet up with the man who had a patch on the sole of his shoe, did he?
20434	And now what?
20434	And what do you think?
20434	And what might that be?
20434	And when you had done that?
20434	Are you able to walk with us, Bumpus?
20434	Are you really going in there, Thad?
20434	Are you sure that chain will hold, Smithy?
20434	But Thad, how else can I go?
20434	But are you sure it was only the wind that carried her off?
20434	But be careful not to give me a jab, wo n''t you, please, Thad?
20434	But he might get fire after all?
20434	But how about appointing a sentry to stay on guard during the night?
20434	But if we do n''t find it however am I going to get on the main land again?
20434	But seriously, Thad, do you believe we''ll see anything of Brose Griffin and his two shadows, Bangs and Hop?
20434	But tell me,broke in Bumpus,"if that''s so, where''s our boat, fellows?"
20434	But there was n''t any cabin or hut there?
20434	But we can see the whole thing from top to bottom, and never a sign of Bumpus anywhere?
20434	But what are you keeping on looking so close at the ground, whenever we strike any soil at all, Thad?
20434	But what can we do to let''em know we''ve got their old hairy exhibit eating us out of house and home?
20434	But what could he be doing, away up here in this lonely place?
20434	But what do you think makes him experiment that way right now, when he knows you''re trying to put a curb on his weakness for building fires?
20434	But what do you want me to do?
20434	But what were you doing up that stump?
20434	But what''s biting him, do you think?
20434	But where do you think they could have taken the boat, Thad?
20434	But why have n''t some of the boys ashore noticed it, and let out a whoop to draw our attention?
20434	But why the Blue Ridge mountains; whatever put that notion in your head, Thad?
20434	But you said it would be hours before he could even get to camp, did n''t you, Thad?
20434	By the way, where is Bumpus; I have n''t noticed him around in camp for ten minutes or more?
20434	Ca n''t you drop down on your hands and knees, Bumpus?
20434	Can it be rattlesnakes, Thad, or bumble- bees?
20434	Did they take it, Thad?
20434	Did you ever see such a fellow in all your life? 20434 Did you notice that the boat was turned upside- down when found?"
20434	Different shoes make different trails, eh?
20434	Do n''t try to deny it, do ye, younker?
20434	Do we go back to our downy couch again, fellows; or is it so near morning that we''d better stay awake?
20434	Do we make a start now?
20434	Do you know what time it is?
20434	Do you mean they''ve made up their minds to try and keep us prisoners on this terrible island?
20434	Do you mean when we first landed; or afterwards when you told me to come along or stay here, just whichever I liked?
20434	Do you think they might attack us, Thad?
20434	Game wardens, hey? 20434 Give the signal to fall in, Mr. Bugler-- but I say, where_ is_ Bumpus anyway?"
20434	Going to be pretty tough climbing, I reckon?
20434	Have you ever been in Faversham, Davy?
20434	Have you ever shot one, Thad?
20434	Have you seen the beast before, Smithy?
20434	How about the fire building tests?
20434	How are you feeling now, Bumpus?
20434	How could I see behind me?
20434	How does it come that this lake, lying so close to Cranford, has never been visited by any of you fellows?
20434	How far is the lake from here, would you say, Thad?
20434	How under the sun d''ye think he ever got inside that stump; for the life of me I ca n''t see any hole down here?
20434	I was only going to ask if any one had taken my head gear, otherwise known as my campaign hat? 20434 If you were almost starved, and got on the track of onions frying, would n''t you make a bee- line for that camp- fire, and beg to share the meal?
20434	In case, what?
20434	Is that really so?
20434	Is the hollow big enough to allow that, Bumpus?
20434	It''s something to do with this same wigwagging, Thad, I''m sure of that?
20434	Just listen to''em go, would you?
20434	Just see the black holes, would you?
20434	Just what I did, and tell me if you can remember the nature of the task they were to handle during our absence?
20434	Listen, do you hear any more shouting?
20434	Listen, would you?
20434	Make fun of that wonderful investigating instinct of mine, will you, boys?
20434	Mebbe, you''d be willing to back up that assertion right now, and prove your boast?
20434	No, we''d better all keep together, I think?
20434	Not the same parties, eh, Thad?
20434	Now, what''s that hanging from that little broken twig up there?
20434	Oh; is that so?
20434	Pretty near time we started again for the lake, is n''t it, Thad?
20434	Pretty near time we thought of making up our beds, ai n''t it?
20434	S''pose now, you think you might run on that footprint Bob was speakin''about, say?
20434	Say, Mr. Scout- Master, does that mean a halt for grub?
20434	Say, Thad,sang out Step- hen just then;"what d''ye reckon could have happened to the fellers that own the bear?
20434	Say, perhaps he does n''t happen to be honest, Thad?
20434	See her float just like a duck, will you?
20434	See here, how far up did you pull that boat?
20434	Sure we''re heading right, Thad?
20434	That means something more than six hours for us to play hide and seek here on the island, does n''t it?
20434	That means the total number of the enemy, do n''t it?
20434	That sounds like you think he took on all that dirt on purpose?
20434	That word Omega means the end, do n''t it?
20434	That would mean two in the afternoon, then, Thad?
20434	That''s just it,said Giraffe, quickly;"and I ca n''t be held responsible for what this ozone does, can I, Thad?
20434	That''s the way you wake up, eh?
20434	That''s what he said to you, did he, Davy?
20434	Then the boat''s drifted away, suh, you think?
20434	Then we do n''t go?
20434	Then what''s the use of our hunting all over the place as we''re doing?
20434	Then what?
20434	Then you saw the same things, did you, Thad?
20434	Then you''re goin''to let me try it, I hope?
20434	There he comes out now, and say, do n''t he look sheepish, though?
20434	There, what d''ye think of that, Smarty?
20434	Think any wild animal might try and raid the camp, and get away with some of our grub?
20434	Think everybody is a booby like,--well, some people, do you, Bumpus?
20434	Think you''re smart, do n''t you?
20434	W- w- what d''ye think it was, Thad?
20434	Was it meant for ant bites, Thad, do you know?
20434	Was n''t there something held out as an inducement, a sort of prize, so to speak? 20434 Well, I declare, you thought of that same thing, did n''t you?"
20434	Well, how does it strike you now, Davy?
20434	Well, how''d I know the old thing''d give in with me like that?
20434	Well, then, that proves them innocent, do n''t it?
20434	Well, what am I thinking about?
20434	Well, what d''ye think of that, now, Thad?
20434	Well, what do you think about it now, Davy?
20434	Well, what if I did, I know how to swim, do n''t I?
20434	What are you going to do about it?
20434	What did I tell you about that boy?
20434	What do you suppose they''d be apt to do to us for giving them so much trouble, and taking their boat?
20434	What for?
20434	What made you mention the name of Brose Griffin when you detailed Number Four to remain at the camp?
20434	What was it, then?
20434	What will we do if it happens that way?
20434	What would you say, Thad?
20434	What''s all that silly talk mean, Davy?
20434	What''s gone now, Step- hen?
20434	What''s that Allan''s got in his hand?
20434	What''s that bird out yonder on the water?
20434	What''s that?
20434	What''s that?
20434	What''s this four- legged critter, a wolf or a dog?
20434	Whatever do you suppose these unknown men can be doing around here?
20434	Where is he, then?
20434	Where under the sun can he be?
20434	Where was all this happening?
20434	Where''s my campaign hat?
20434	Which way did it come from, Thad?
20434	Who goes over with you to- morrow, Thad?
20434	Who in the wide world can it be?
20434	Who is he, then, Davy?
20434	Who''d ever think so much could be crowded inside a few hours?
20434	Why not?
20434	Why not?
20434	Why, here''s a hole already, big enough for me to stick my hand in; feel that, do you, Bumpus?
20434	Why, would they arrest me for cruelty to animals?
20434	Will you shake hands with me, and excuse the blunder I made when I felt sure you had hooked the old bag, just to bother me?
20434	Yes, the name he mentioned to you, when he spoke about the marked shoe?
20434	You do n''t think he was as bad as they are, and meant to join them, do you?
20434	You do n''t think it''ll hurt much, do you, Thad?
20434	You do n''t think they could upset this rock, do you?
20434	You mean Malcolm Hotchkiss, do n''t you?
20434	You mean they must be worse than game poachers; is that it?
20434	You mean you would n''t a come here, is that it?
20434	You put it in a safe place, did you, and then forgot where that place was?
20434	You remember what I said before about this country having been stocked with game, and this lake with thousands of young bass years back?
20434	You said you had fed him, did n''t you, Smithy?
20434	You see, we''re in a strange situation, and even if we put in half an hour looking this place over, what does it matter? 20434 You''ll have to explain what you mean, Bumpus?"
20434	( Master?"
20434	Ai n''t he got the grit, though, to attend to his business with that swollen face?"
20434	All ready now?"
20434	Am I right, Bob?"
20434	And besides, who could say what manner of men these two with the trained bear might turn out to be?
20434	And do n''t you say compass to me again, hear?"
20434	And what else could that be but the missing compass, which Bumpus had once so indignantly denied having seen, after he handed it back to its owner?
20434	Are we going to allow such sissy goings- on in this, our first camp?
20434	But are you going over to take a look at that island just the same, Thad?"
20434	But do n''t you bother me again about that compass, hear?"
20434	But how do you feel about taking a trip across to the camp right now?"
20434	But perhaps you''d like to have a cup of coffee while you''re here?
20434	But they did n''t know we had a bear in camp, did they, fellows?"
20434	But what do all these funny marks on the river stand for?
20434	But wo n''t he be the most surprised boy in seven counties when he finds that the lens have been taken from the glass?"
20434	Ca n''t die but once, anyhow, so what does it matter?"
20434	Ca n''t he just make that horn talk, though?"
20434	Dare he try and crawl into the cave, to ascertain how the land lay?
20434	Did n''t I say Smithy had it in him to make one of the best scouts in the whole troop; and do n''t this prove it?
20434	Did they know that Davy had gone with that log?
20434	Did you do it, Bumpus?"
20434	Do n''t you think I ought to get a merit badge, Thad, for being so smart, hey?"
20434	Do n''t you think you might let me have it now, Bumpus?"
20434	Funny, ai n''t it, Thad, how it affects me?
20434	Got all that, fellows?"
20434	Had n''t we better be turning around, and heading back for camp?"
20434	Has anybody seen my tin cup?
20434	He did us one good turn when he frightened that Brose Griffin crowd away, and who knows but what he might repeat?"
20434	Hear it again, anybody?"
20434	How?"
20434	Hung it out to air, did you?
20434	I pointed that out to Bob White, did n''t I, Bob?"
20434	I saw him speaking with you, Davy; did he tell you who he was, and all about his roving life?"
20434	I''m learning to keep my things where they wo n''t get lost, understand that?"
20434	If some big mud- turtle do n''t grab me by the toe, and pull me down, I''ll come out swimmingly, see?"
20434	If we''re all going to take part in that water- boiling, fire- making test I ca n''t enter unless I have my cup, can I?
20434	Is n''t that right, Bumpus; own up now?"
20434	Is that what it means, Allan?"
20434	Listen to that wind blow, boys?
20434	Lost anything here?"
20434	Mighty afraid somebody might_ happen_ to peek in it by accident when you was gone, ai n''t you?"
20434	None of your tricks now; do n''t I know that I hung it up all right last night, when I came to bed; and blessed if I can find it now?
20434	Nothing to be ashamed of, is it, Thad?"
20434	Now ai n''t it funny why it''s always_ my_ things that get taken?
20434	Now, I wonder have I made a mistake about the calibre of Smithy, and could he have wandered off in a careless way?"
20434	Now, how are we going to get back home?
20434	Now, if I''d been like, say Step- hen here, and content to lay around after eating, where''d we be about the boat question?
20434	Now, what dye think of that, fellows?
20434	Now, what would you think those meant?"
20434	Now, whatever are you sneaking my knapsack off like that, for?
20434	Perhaps you''ll show me, now that I''m along on the trip?"
20434	Ready, Bob?"
20434	Remember that, do n''t you Bumpus?"
20434	S''pose I hand it over to Smithy?"
20434	Say, ai n''t he the worst scared fellow you ever saw?"
20434	Say, do n''t it look fine, though?
20434	Say, what a time we are having, eh, fellows?"
20434	Scout- Master?"
20434	Scout- Master?"
20434	Scout- Master?"
20434	Seems to me that''s the kind of work for a scout to try, ai n''t it?"
20434	Shall we head to the left here, Bob; or take to the right?"
20434	Should he simply conceal himself somewhere on the island, and wait for the coming of afternoon, and the expected officers?
20434	So I took out the false bottom that keeps heavy shoes from cutting into the thin planking; and what do you suppose I found in the cracks below?"
20434	So Thad commenced by asking:"Who have you close by to send with a message to Rockford?"
20434	So if anybody''s trying to play a joke at my expense, call it off, wo n''t you, please?"
20434	Step- hen, how would you like to help Bob White, Bumpus and myself look that island over?"
20434	Suppose you run them over right now?"
20434	Suppose, for instance, Giraffe lost his way while trying to make Rockford, what then would become of Smithy?
20434	Tell me, is n''t that our sandy stretch right ahead there, and am I a good woodsman or not?"
20434	Thad, is this going to keep up right along?
20434	Thad, you believe me, do n''t you?"
20434	The bear takes the cake, do n''t he, Thad?"
20434	The more things you can remember in a store window, after only a minute to look, the further up you are, see?"
20434	The others?
20434	The question now is, shall we let them carry that scheme out?"
20434	Then tell me why he did n''t come into camp, and see who we were?
20434	Then what, Thad?"
20434	Then, when he gets to Rockford you want Giraffe to get Faversham the''phone; is that it, Thad?"
20434	Think I want to be the butt of the joke?
20434	Think we can leave the rest of the patrol alone for an hour or two this afternoon?"
20434	Think we''ve seen enough of the old island by now, Thad?
20434	Want to search it, perhaps, to see if that old compass you left behind could a got in there?
20434	Well, just get that notion out of your head, wo n''t you?
20434	What are you looking for now?"
20434	What could that motive be?
20434	What could the luckless fat boy have stumbled into now?
20434	What do you say, Allan?"
20434	What do you want me to do, Thad?"
20434	What if after all he should turn out to be the ill- fated one chosen to cross again to the island?
20434	What should he do, now that he knew the worst?
20434	What was this to a hungry bear?
20434	What we want to know is, why are ye so pesky anxious like to look this here island over?
20434	What would I want your compass for, tell me that?"
20434	What''s a breakfast without coffee and bacon; tell me that?"
20434	Where''s Thad?
20434	Would the two desperate characters be coming back to find the other scout?
20434	Yeggmen now is it, and not just poor game poachers?
20434	You know the twelve rules we all subscribed to when we joined the Silver Fox Patrol, Allan?
20434	You remember our visitor was a tall feller, do n''t you?
20434	You will, wo n''t you, Bumpus?
20434	You''re a good swimmer, Allan, what do you say to going across?"
20434	ai n''t they making me a sight, though?
20434	ai n''t you goin''to help me out of this?"
20434	all right, Thad;"Davy replied;"I''m willin''enough to try the swim; but say, what if they jump on you fellers while I''m away?"
20434	burst out Step- hen just then;"anybody seen it layin''around loose?
20434	come, what sort of talk were you giving us, Davy?"
20434	do n''t it make a feller have just the nicest cold creepy feelin''run up and down his back, though?
20434	found what you wanted, Thad?"
20434	guess you think my eyes got closed up by that swelling, did n''t you, Step- hen Bingham?
20434	he exclaimed,"think you''re funny, do n''t you, Bumpus?
20434	is n''t that boy a dandy, though?"
20434	listen to Smithy, would you?"
20434	listen to Thad, would you?"
20434	remarked Smithy, in bewilderment;"now, please explain to me just why they would want to do so remarkable a thing as that, Thad?"
20434	said Thad, just then;"what do you suppose is the matter between Bumpus and Step- hen now?
20434	say, you do n''t think of going that far, I hope; and for only a dancing bear; we ought to be able to feed him on the leavings, do n''t you think?"
20434	what is he shouting?"
20434	why did the beast ever smell us out in the beginning?"
20434	why was he so unlucky as to be born to plumpness?
20434	you do n''t say so?"
20434	you take water, eh, Bumpus?"
6827	''Sw''at?
6827	About what?
6827	And go back on the_ Skyrocket_? 6827 Anything else gone wrong?"
6827	Apples? 6827 Are you coming?"
6827	Back again?
6827	Big news? 6827 Boy who was drowned?
6827	But did n''t you tell Tod''s dad about what we-- found out?
6827	But might n''t it just have been snagged or shoaled up above, and finally worked loose?
6827	But there were two of you on the island after me, were n''t there? 6827 But there''s one thing that puzzles me-- do you notice how much water there is in the boat?
6827	But what do you want to get onto the island for? 6827 But what was the idea in thumping us because you thought we were from the island?"
6827	But where''s the-- the body, then?
6827	But why do n''t you let us look on the island? 6827 But why do n''t you want us to look for our friend?
6827	But why,Jerry wanted to know,"did n''t you come back home right away-- if you were n''t hurt?"
6827	But wo n''t you tell me about Tod?
6827	Ca n''t you beg off and get a little more time?
6827	Ca n''t you slow her down a little?
6827	Ca n''t you tune her down?
6827	Course I did-- but we''re going, are n''t we? 6827 Did n''t it look like something blackish in the bottom of the boat?"
6827	Did n''t we see you slinking along through the bushes?
6827	Did someone tell you he was there, then?
6827	Did you ask my father about him?
6827	Did you ever run it before?
6827	Did you hear it?
6827	Do n''t you think we''ve wasted enough time, without losing some more by going back?
6827	Do we get a front seat at the circus when the man puts his head in the lion''s mouth-- and a ride on the elephant?
6827	Do you care if we come over and look along the shore of the island?
6827	Do you have to have such skilled mechanics to make those repairs?
6827	Do you hear anything?
6827	Do you know what I think?
6827	Do you suppose Mr. Aikens took the mill boat?
6827	Do you suppose,he began with a kind of despairing eagerness,"that he could have stayed in the boat?"
6827	Do you think it''s a sin to steal?
6827	Do you think it''s wrong to punish criminals?
6827	Do you_ need_ me along, Jerry?
6827	Down river?
6827	Eats?
6827	Eh? 6827 Eh?"
6827	Ever been over this road before?
6827	Fall down? 6827 Find her?
6827	Get them? 6827 Got any plan?"
6827	Groaning? 6827 Guessing, huh?
6827	Have all the river towns been telegraphed?
6827	Have any trouble?
6827	Have you seen anything of our friend?
6827	He swims well, does n''t he?
6827	How can we do it? 6827 How did he happen to get into this?"
6827	How do you know then that this is the right road?
6827	How far do you s''pose the boat''s drifted by now, Jerry?
6827	I believe that Tod Fulton is----"Not alive?
6827	I s''pose I''ll have to stay here and help the Scouts mount guard over the relics here-- when will you be back?
6827	I say, Phil,he called guardedly;"you ready to listen to the wildest kind of a notion?"
6827	I suppose you came to look for a lock of hair from your drowned friend''s head?
6827	Is a half million dollars worth while?
6827	Is he alive?
6827	Is there a gun in the house?
6827	Is your mind wandering, or what? 6827 It belongs to Mr. Fulton, I suppose?"
6827	It seems a shame----began Tod, when they were once more outside, then asked abruptly:"Willing to take a licking, Jerry?"
6827	It turned in toward the river, did n''t it? 6827 Jerry, do n''t you think we''d better be getting on home?"
6827	Know anybody there by the name of Tod Fulton? 6827 Looks like some big crouching animal, does n''t it?"
6827	Lost Island?
6827	Luck was sure breaking our way this morning, was n''t it?
6827	Lunch time already?
6827	Mind if I come out and try my luck beside you?
6827	Mr. Billings came and got you, did n''t he?
6827	Mr. Fulton just came home, pa, and Tod told me to tell him----"Guess it''ll keep till morning, wo n''t it? 6827 Not swearing, I take it?"
6827	Noticed? 6827 Now what?"
6827	Oh, well, the machine''s still here, so why grouch over a couple hours''sleep?
6827	Oh, you here, too, little one?
6827	On Lost Island?
6827	Phil Fulton and his Boy Scouts----"My nephew, you mean, from Chester? 6827 Put''em in jail you mean?"
6827	Shall I tie you up?
6827	Shall we call?
6827	Shall we risk going closer?
6827	Suppose it does get dark: there''s such a thing as flying by night, is n''t there? 6827 Suppose my mother wo n''t let me?"
6827	Suppose you tell her we''ve got to go and get our boat? 6827 Supposing,"hesitated Dave,"supposing the boat''s grounded on Lost Island itself----""It''s the boat we''re looking for, is n''t it?"
6827	That you, Jerry? 6827 Then what you after him for-- if he''s your chum?"
6827	They? 6827 Think I''m going to let you go up alone, with a twisted wing that might give out?"
6827	To the island? 6827 Tod could help a lot, and I suppose you are one of the dubs, but where are the rest?"
6827	Tod----he gasped--"where''s Tod?"
6827	Trying to get onto it? 6827 Two hours at a stretch, turn and turn about?"
6827	Two men, you say? 6827 Wake me up at twelve, will you, ma?"
6827	Want it?
6827	Watch the old_ Skyrocket_ till I get back, will you, Jerry?
6827	Water sure is filling up, is n''t she? 6827 We could swim, could n''t we?"
6827	We- l- l-- Son, can you make a stretcher?
6827	Well what? 6827 Well, what I want to know is: How did it get out?
6827	Well, what in thunder''s Fulton got in a safe that any robber would want?
6827	Well, what''s the idea of our coming over here every night to sleep, when there''s oodles of room there on Lost Island, where we''re needed? 6827 Well, who does?"
6827	Well?
6827	Were you scared?
6827	Wha-- what bucket?
6827	What are they made of? 6827 What are you doing, son?"
6827	What can we do?
6827	What difference does it make to you? 6827 What difference does that make, if they''ve already got the blueprints''?"
6827	What do you mean? 6827 What has happened?"
6827	What in the world do you mean?
6827	What is it, Tod?
6827	What is it-- a riot?
6827	What is it? 6827 What is it?"
6827	What is it?
6827	What next? 6827 What was that?"
6827	What was the matter with you back there on the island? 6827 What will you say to your conscience when your enemy drops destruction onto your brave countrymen in the trenches from the Fulton Aeroplane?
6827	What ye driving at? 6827 What you going to do, Jerry?
6827	What''ll it be?
6827	What''s all the excitement?
6827	What''s eating you? 6827 What''s got into you?"
6827	What''s happened?
6827	What''s happened?
6827	What''s that''huh''? 6827 What''s that?"
6827	What''s that?
6827	What''s that?
6827	What''s the cause of the delay now?
6827	What''s the idea?
6827	What''s the idea?
6827	What''s the matter with you, Dave?
6827	What''s the matter, Phil?
6827	What''s the meaning of that rumpus out there?
6827	What''s the program?
6827	What''s the trouble?
6827	What? 6827 What?"
6827	Where are you-- so I can call you back?
6827	Where can you?
6827	Where were you, that you knew there were two of us?
6827	Where will I find you after breakfast?
6827	Where you going to turn in?
6827	Where''s dad?
6827	Where''s the morning gone to?
6827	Where''s your boat?
6827	Where-- where''d you learn to do things like that?
6827	Who could n''t?
6827	Who''s going to help you handle it? 6827 Who''s the best swimmer in the crowd?"
6827	Why in thunder did n''t you wake us in time so I could have got a drink?
6827	Why locked in, if Mr. Billings had gone to bring your father? 6827 Why not just get into our boat and row over?
6827	Why not take her all apart while we''re at it, Jerry?
6827	Why not take the boat and go down the middle?
6827	Why, Frank Ellery, seventh son of a seventh son? 6827 Why, nothing, Jerry----""Then what you talking about going on home when I''m running down a clew like that?"
6827	Will you promise me to come back and let me pick the birdshot out of you after you''ve made a landing on Lost Island?
6827	Wing?
6827	Wonder what that man was doing on Lost Island?
6827	You came alone?
6827	You came in the airship?
6827	You do n''t mean to tell me that you''re hungry?
6827	You mean_ bass_ lake, do n''t you?
6827	You remember last week when we were out, and the storm caught us and pretty nearly swamped the boat? 6827 You think he''ll try to patch up the_ Skyrocket?_"asked Jerry.
6827	You think_ they_ did it?
6827	You waiting for gasoline?
6827	You will snore away like six buzz- saws on circus day, huh?
6827	You wo n''t mind if I do n''t get back till late?
6827	You''re going to swim over, are n''t you, Jerry? 6827 You''re surely not going to make us try to swim it?"
6827	You?
6827	Your wetting did n''t tame you down any, did it? 6827 _ Dave!_ Dave-- do you remember?
6827	_ Where_ is he? 6827 A sin? 6827 Afraid you''d up and rescue yourself?
6827	All set now?
6827	And an officer''s been looking for you----""Police?"
6827	And if you got hold of that boat- seat, for instance, you''d pretty near hang on, would n''t you?
6827	And leave the machine here for anybody to come along and study out-- or steal?
6827	And why, why had Mr. Fulton laughed at Jerry''s story-- and yet followed his clue in this stealthy way?
6827	Anybody got any objections?
6827	Are we going to let them?"
6827	Are you game to go along?"
6827	At last Phil quieted down his dancing mob and put the question Jerry had been awaiting:"How did you do it?"
6827	At the same time he was conscious of a disappointed feeling in his heart; why could it not have been the United States that had bought the invention?
6827	Boy Scout for sir?"
6827	But if they could steal the plans in the meanwhile-- get me?"
6827	But suppose somebody just ahead of you made it his business to buy the hundred-- how about that?"
6827	But what became of your friend-- if there_ were_ two of you?"
6827	But who was the man in the boat?
6827	But-- but-- how do you know?
6827	Can you blame us for being sore?"
6827	Carry my clothes along the bank, will you?
6827	Dave, do you mean to tell me you did n''t hear what the man said?"
6827	Did he go after a doctor?"
6827	Did n''t you hear him say:''Where was young Fulton drowned?''"
6827	Did you get the doctor?"
6827	Did you see it?
6827	Did you think we were going any other way?
6827	Do n''t you see?
6827	Do n''t you understand?
6827	Do you blame us for wanting to lay you out?"
6827	First off he''d try to bale her out, would n''t he?
6827	For, why should Tod be rescued in this weird fashion?
6827	Going along, Dave-- with me?"
6827	Harris?"
6827	Have you found his-- his body?"
6827	He here?
6827	He''s a cousin of mine-- why, what''s the matter?"
6827	His eyebrows almost met in a frown as he repeated mechanically:"On Lost Island, you say?
6827	Hopes?
6827	How about it, Jerry?"
6827	How are we going to get over?"
6827	How do we know?"
6827	How far have we gone?"
6827	How many times did you fall down?"
6827	How''s the knife brigade coming on?"
6827	Huh?"
6827	Hustle up, Tod-- what you standing there gaping for?"
6827	I heard Daisy going on out here like the devil before day-- or was it you two who were pestering her?
6827	I laugh like a billygoat, do I?
6827	I suppose I could get him, but just what are these Boy Scouts?"
6827	In fact, I rather enjoyed your little visit-- though I will admit you scared me a bit when you held the knob of the door to the hangar----""Hangar?
6827	Is that a go, Tod?"
6827	Is yet, is n''t he, Tod?"
6827	It''s a good ten inches from the top-- how full would it have been when she popped up from under the falls at the dam?"
6827	It''s about time for the boys to-- listen to those Indians, would you?
6827	Jerry repeated, puzzled, to himself:"Left plane-- what in thunder''s that?"
6827	Jerry votes for the dam, do n''t you, Jerry?"
6827	Jerry yelled, louder this time,"and get her level?"
6827	Just outside the ring of light cast by the deserted camp fire, however, Jerry halted and asked:"Thought what you''ll tell_ them?_""Why, no.
6827	Me groaning?
6827	Never heard of the Boy Scouts?"
6827	No?
6827	Of-- of Tod?"
6827	Remember how you always used to be telling Tod and me to grin hardest when we were getting licked worst?"
6827	Ring?"
6827	Shall we get your dad?"
6827	Shall we go on?"
6827	Some scheme, eh?"
6827	Suppose there was no one there-- had been no one there?
6827	Suppose we could come down in your back lot?
6827	Suppose_ they_ are at the house by now?"
6827	That friend of yours could n''t very well be on my island without my knowing it, could he?"
6827	There are n''t any falls down this way, are there?"
6827	There''s at least a mile of bare copper wire about the place-- what you two standing with your mouths wide open for?
6827	They were perhaps halfway across when Jerry asked, anxiously, it seemed:"Ca n''t you get any more speed out of her, fellows?"
6827	Think you''re going to have the nerve to go up with me, son?"
6827	This?"
6827	Tod, take a squint at the sun-- five- thirty, is n''t it?
6827	Two blooming foreigners trying to steal an airship out of Mr. Fulton''s safe down there in his cellar-- wasn''t that what you said, boys?"
6827	Want to hear it?
6827	We can tell that chump over there----""Thought you told us good Scouts were always respectful to our elders?"
6827	Well, then, Boss Jerry, what''s orders?"
6827	What do you think?"
6827	What does it all mean?"
6827	What good would it do them?"
6827	What in tarnation you up to anyhow?"
6827	What in thunder''s got into you?
6827	What kind of fish can you take in old Roundy after eight o''clock?"
6827	What new bug has bitten you?"
6827	What say we sneak back, see if there''s a gun at the cabin, and take them by surprise when they start burglarizing the hangar?"
6827	What shall we do?
6827	What was that thing that just sailed over the house?
6827	What you kids doing?"
6827	What you mean, fall down?
6827	What you trying to hide, you two?"
6827	What''d we say if we came back with a bag of pot metal for our money?"
6827	What''ll you say?"
6827	What''s fishing got to do with it?"
6827	What''s next?"
6827	What''s orders?"
6827	What''s our plan?"
6827	What''s that contraption you''re sitting on?"
6827	What''s that pinned to your blanket?"
6827	What''s that?"
6827	What''s the idea?
6827	What''s your plan?"
6827	When''d your dad get to be an inventor?"
6827	Where are we now?"
6827	Where are you from, anyhow?"
6827	Where away, boatman?"
6827	Where do you put it all?"
6827	Where in thunder are all those boys?"
6827	Where is he?"
6827	Where was young Fulton drowned, anyway?"
6827	Where''d you get onto it?"
6827	Where''ll we land?"
6827	Where''ll you try it, below or above?
6827	Where''s the nearest farmhouse?"
6827	Who is_ she_--and where?
6827	Who was the other hero?"
6827	Who''s going along with me?"
6827	Who''s got a heavy knife with a sharp big blade in it?"
6827	Who''s the goat you had in mind?"
6827	Why did n''t you invite them into the house, son?
6827	Why had the man refused to let Tod''s friends come on the island?
6827	Why should n''t he ask that?"
6827	Why, Jerry?"
6827	Why?"
6827	Will you buy the machine and the idea on approval?
6827	Will you do this?
6827	Will you leave it to me?"
6827	Wo n''t you fellows go along with me?
6827	Wood?"
6827	Would the man never get there?
6827	You say you do n''t belong on the island?"
6827	You told me you''d let me go camping with the bunch, do n''t you remember?
6827	You were n''t_ on_ Lost Island, were you?"
6827	You will not be long?"
6827	You''ll blow the factory whistle when it''s time to get up, wo n''t you?"
6827	cried Mr. Fulton, despair in his voice,"do n''t you see?
6827	shouted Phil,"where''s the meat- axe?"
45740	About our winning that baseball game?
45740	All ready to save the day, Cree?
45740	All ready, Bert?
45740	And Belden?
45740	And do you know the Scout laws, motto, sign, salute and significance of the badge?
45740	And he thinks his team won?
45740	And in the Grant game? 45740 And sink the runners into the soft snow at the side?"
45740	And you think this farmer will take us to Belden, when all we can do is to promise him that we will pay him after we get there and borrow the money?
45740	Are n''t you my friends, fellows?
45740	Are those your cows, sir?
45740	Are you going to snitch?
45740	Are you ready, Belden?
45740	Are you ready, Bert?
45740	Are you ready, Lakeville?
45740	Are you sure you ca n''t yank it free?
45740	Are you the Belden coach?
45740	Bring a drink of water for each of them, wo n''t you?
45740	Buck Claxton?
45740	Bunny,he said carelessly,"you do n''t mind if we go swimming, do you?
45740	But if it''s so shallow, why is n''t it a swimming- hole?
45740	But what-- why-- What do they mean, we did n''t win fairly?
45740	But why would n''t any of you help buy the ice cream?
45740	But why,he asked,"did n''t Sheffield explain his system to Bunny and S. S. and Jump and me, and have us feed the ball to him in the game?"
45740	But why?
45740	By the way, Mr. Gillen, do n''t you think you might loan us the hand car just this once, so we can get to Deerpark-- or whatever its name is?
45740	By the way, why did n''t you fellows go swimming with the rest this afternoon?
45740	By the way,he added,"what about Hallowe''en?
45740	Can you make the turn this side of the railroad track, where the road branches?
45740	Did I do anything else last night?
45740	Did n''t you know the bull was in there?
45740	Did you catch it?
45740	Did you fumble when Bunny tackled you?
45740	Did you say there were nine of you? 45740 Do n''t you remember that home run he knocked the first day of school?"
45740	Do what?
45740	Do you mean that you are going to trust him to run in this race?
45740	Do you mean to say I''ve been cranking my head off when you did n''t even throw over the switch? 45740 Do you mind?"
45740	Do you recall the seventh Scout law?
45740	Do you see that line of washing to the left, hung between those two trees? 45740 Do you want to buy a pair of skates or some hockey sticks, or shall you wait for the cold weather?"
45740	Does he ever rent it?
45740	Find anything wrong, Bi?
45740	For what?
45740	Gentlemen,he said, halting before the two Lakeville men and ignoring Miss Molly altogether,"where is your baseball team?"
45740	Got a rope?
45740	Has he come yet?
45740	Have you ever played baseball?
45740	He has n''t any way of stopping us, has he? 45740 Hear that?
45740	How about Sheffield?
45740	How about it, Langer? 45740 How about motor cars?
45740	How about you?
45740	How are you, Payton?
45740	How did you break your sled?
45740	How did you get down there?
45740	How do you know it''s Specs?
45740	How do you know which is better? 45740 How do you know?
45740	How do you know?
45740	How do you know?
45740	How far is Middletown?
45740	How late is this train, anyhow?
45740	How many new patrols are there?
45740	How much do I owe you?
45740	How much longer?
45740	How-- how did you know about that?
45740	Huh?
45740	I could n''t say anything else, could I?
45740	I? 45740 If he is n''t here, how will you know whether you may eat two kinds of sandwiches and cake, and how hot you may drink your coffee?"
45740	Is n''t it glorious?
45740	Is that all you have to say?
45740	Is your name Gillen?
45740	Is-- is anything wrong there?
45740	John?
45740	Like it?
45740	Look here, Horace, they ca n''t do that, can they?
45740	Look here, Jimmie White,he said abruptly,"know where the Scouts''clubhouse is?"
45740	Look here,he demanded shortly,"what''s all this talk about something happening to the Boy Scouts?"
45740	Mistake, huh?
45740	Mrs. Lannigan? 45740 Not hurt, are you?"
45740	Now, where''s the Belden captain? 45740 Number, please?"
45740	Obedience to the leader again, eh? 45740 Of course, it was not his fault,"he grunted,"but why does he laugh about it?
45740	Oh, how are you, Bunny?
45740	Oh, why did you do it? 45740 Oh, you''re the one who telephoned about that train?"
45740	One more question: Would you like to join the Black Eagle Patrol of Boy Scouts?
45740	Practice? 45740 Say,"he exclaimed,"do you boys know anything about a car?"
45740	Seen Specs?
45740	Shall we?
45740	Signal?
45740	Signal?
45740	Signal?
45740	Signal?
45740	Signal?
45740	Signal?
45740	Signal?
45740	So Jensen said that, did he? 45740 So he could make a speech, huh?"
45740	So the substitutes can go in, eh?
45740	So you are the patrol leader, are you, Payton? 45740 So?"
45740	Sure you can manage it?
45740	Thanks,the Belden captain said to S. S."For what?"
45740	That song is pretty near right; do n''t you think so, Bunny?
45740	The Boy Scouts? 45740 The Scouts, you mean?"
45740	Then you boys could not help me on the farm this afternoon, I suppose?
45740	To- night''s Hallowe''en, is n''t it?
45740	Trying to lay me out?
45740	Want the truth?
45740	We beat''em, did n''t we?
45740	Well, I suppose you can pay for your mistakes?
45740	Well, then, what''s the matter with making him a Scout in the Black Eagle Patrol? 45740 Well, what do you expect us to do, anyhow?"
45740	Well, what is it now?
45740	Well, you take this key, trot over there, unlock the door, and--"--and what?
45740	Well,observed Specs,"what about it?
45740	Well?
45740	Well?
45740	Well?
45740	Wha-- what do you mean?
45740	What are they hollering for? 45740 What are those horses of yours-- one cylinder or two?"
45740	What are you going to do?
45740	What color are his grandmother''s eyes?
45740	What d''ye want?
45740	What did we do that was wrong? 45740 What do you mean, Cree?
45740	What do you say to this?
45740	What do you say, Bunny, if we make the run a hundred yards and the walk fifty? 45740 What good would it do us?"
45740	What happened? 45740 What is it?"
45740	What made you stop?
45740	What makes you think he has a car?
45740	What peddler?
45740	What''s funny?
45740	What''s he got to do with it, anyhow?
45740	What''s that?
45740	What''s the idea, Cree?
45740	What''s the matter with Rodman Cree? 45740 What''s the matter, Bonfire?"
45740	What''s the matter?
45740	What''s the matter?
45740	What''s the matter?
45740	What''s the plan, Nap?
45740	What''s the signal?
45740	What''s the signal?
45740	What-- what are you going to do?
45740	When does that train get to Middletown?
45740	When will the meeting be?
45740	Where are the other players?
45740	Where did you get this?
45740	Where''s the next stop?
45740	Who busted that pane of glass?
45740	Who gets me out when I''m in bad? 45740 Who is it?
45740	Who says so?
45740	Who''s that?
45740	Whose car? 45740 Why ca n''t we take one of them into the patrol for our eighth member?"
45740	Why did n''t Bonfire try for the baseball team?
45740	Why did n''t you try for that last basket yourself?
45740	Why did you fellows think he had dropped you from the team for spite?
45740	Why do n''t Roundy and Jump come? 45740 Why do n''t you take your own advice, and do what you can do?
45740	Why do n''t you?
45740	Why should n''t you be?
45740	Why-- why do n''t you do what you can do?
45740	Why?
45740	Why?
45740	Will there be enough offices for all of us, Bunny?
45740	Will you do me a favor,_ please_?
45740	With me? 45740 Would you Scouts object,"he asked,"to being tied-- well, say loosely-- to my apron strings in basketball?"
45740	Would-- would he train me?
45740	Yes?
45740	Yes?
45740	You do n''t mean there''s only one man to hitch up the hose cart and put out the fire?
45740	You mean that farmer there will pay any attention to us if we ca n''t show him our money first?
45740	You mean that those other four are better players than we are?
45740	You see that peddler''s wagon up the road there, where the horse is standing under the tree? 45740 You, Collins?
45740	Your friends?
45740	Ai n''t been waiting for me, have you?"
45740	All ready, Molly?
45740	And did you ever notice how that steamer from the other end of the lake never puts in, even when it wants to land somebody at Magoon''s pier?"
45740	And did you ever see anybody fishing there?
45740	And had n''t he studied batting as assiduously as he had studied fielding through the long season?
45740	And the Deerfield game?"
45740	And where''s Specs?"
45740	And who reached down and plucked this fern?
45740	And-- well, say, how about Bunny Payton for the job?"
45740	Anybody object?"
45740	Anything else you want to know?"
45740	Are they going to elect you captain or are n''t they?"
45740	Are you all ready?
45740	Are you enough of a Sherlock Holmes to tell us from here?"
45740	Are you sure you wo n''t be in school?"
45740	Barrett?"
45740	Bunny put a question in the word; then, when it brought no reply, he added, at a hazard,"He''s your son, sir?"
45740	Bunny, will you get us a rope?"
45740	But are you sure,"she added slyly,"that you can swim?"
45740	But do n''t you see why he ca n''t get off a good drop- kick?"
45740	But he said--""Yes?"
45740	But he''s been away a long time, and now--""Is he coming home?"
45740	But she smiled at the same time, and asked:"''Who was responsible for this?''"
45740	But what play was it?
45740	But why"seven-- four-- six"?
45740	But you are n''t, are you?
45740	But you do notice things, do n''t you, Rodman?
45740	CHAPTER V NOBODY"Who cheers me up when I feel sad?
45740	Ca n''t you hold it sixty seconds for us?
45740	Can we all pile on your wagon?"
45740	Can you tell me how he is getting along?"
45740	Could n''t he ever learn to hold the ball once he had it?
45740	Dad, how can you sit quietly when the boys need help?"
45740	Did n''t Specs find anything?"
45740	Did n''t you boys get out?
45740	Did n''t you see a bonfire over there?"
45740	Did you ever hear of any fisherman who went over to Shadow Island to do his washing?"
45740	Do n''t you notice that it is a whole lot lighter than the rest of the lake?
45740	Do n''t you think so?"
45740	Do we quit this rotten business, or do n''t we?"
45740	Do you know its composition and history and the customary forms of respect due it?"
45740	Do you mean it, Prissy?"
45740	Do you realize, Specs, that this is the first time in all our trip we have given a wrong impression of the Boy Scouts?
45740	Do you remember that tip he gave me about the Dunkirk pitcher with his funny inshoot?
45740	Do you see that flagstaff?"
45740	Do you see what I mean?"
45740	Does Sheffield know about it?"
45740	Does anybody around here own an automobile?"
45740	Does anybody want to quit?"
45740	Does n''t he understand that we want to win?"
45740	Everybody ready?"
45740	Felix did n''t make a grapevine rope, did he, and pull me up the cliff?
45740	Felix?
45740	For had n''t his hero once said that most battles were won in the council room, before a shot was fired?
45740	From the basement floated the tenor voice of S. S., singing the final refrain of the"Nobody"song:"Who cares for us an awful lot?
45740	From time to time, it opened its mouth and let out a whimpering cry that sounded like"_ Me- e- e!_""How did it get up there?"
45740	Got any uniforms or bats or gloves or balls?
45740	Gracious me, Bunny Payton, how can you expect me to keep posted on the Boy Scouts, with you away?
45740	Had n''t he knocked a home run that first day of school?
45740	He repeated the word,"Well?"
45740	He''s captain of the team, president of the athletic association, and-- and enemy of the Boy Scouts, is n''t he?
45740	Hibbs?"
45740	How about it, Mr. Langer?
45740	How about taking him into the Black Eagle Patrol?
45740	How about you, Specs?"
45740	How did you happen to have the car, anyhow?"
45740	How do you feel about it?"
45740	How do you know Specs is inside?"
45740	How do you know?"
45740	How far would Napoleon have gone if he had chosen to wait impotently?
45740	I could n''t do anything else, could I?"
45740	I counted three pres-- leaders, did n''t I?"
45740	I said to myself,''What would Prissy do?''
45740	I wonder-- Bonfire, what''s wrong?
45740	If the Black Eagles ever needed a new Number 1----"Going to the game?"
45740	If the old''bus would only run--""What''s the matter with it?"
45740	Is Molly there?--Oh, is this you, Molly?
45740	Is he wearing overalls and carrying an oil can?"
45740	Is n''t he with you?"
45740	Is there anything anywhere that is n''t busted?"
45740	It will be the next best fun to your being actually one of the bunch, wo n''t it?"
45740	Jenkins?"
45740	Just sixty seconds?"
45740	Lee- board set?
45740	Look here, Bunny, who shot the most baskets in the game we won from Elkana?"
45740	Now, is there a fragrant fern anywhere around here?"
45740	Now, why do n''t you go in and win this hurdle race?"
45740	Now, would it?"
45740	Or was the night a failure?"
45740	Ready for the football game this afternoon, Rodman?"
45740	See that sun?
45740	Sefton?"
45740	Shall we walk right past without seeing him?"
45740	She paused, walked toward Specs and said, in a wholly different voice,"Is that your dog?"
45740	Should he go on with the thankless job?
45740	Stone?"
45740	Suppose we all chip in and buy enough for the crowd?
45740	The question is, does he rent it?"
45740	The team cheered Belden then; and Belden came back with a pretty poor apology of the formula that runs,"What''s the matter with Lakeville?
45740	There is n''t any-- any danger that he wo n''t get well, is there, sir?"
45740	They were organized early this week, and presidents elected--""Patrol leaders?"
45740	Turner?
45740	Understand?
45740	Want to go down the hill with us, Peter?"
45740	Want to see him?"
45740	Was it to go through, even after he had warned Buck?
45740	Was n''t that just too smart for anything?"
45740	Was this the road to Belden?
45740	Well, what are you going to do about it?"
45740	Well, why not?
45740	What are the facts, Bunny?"
45740	What are we going to do, now that the whole outfit''s-- busted?"
45740	What did he say?"
45740	What did you see that made you know about the mired car?"
45740	What does this new line- up mean, anyhow?"
45740	What had happened?
45740	What if you ca n''t make the team?
45740	What is it?"
45740	What make of car is it?"
45740	What on earth had Mary Chester meant?
45740	What play was that?
45740	What was it the little Corsican had said after recapturing Italy?
45740	What was the captain of the football team going to say about him?
45740	What was the good of feeding Sheffield the ball, if he chucked away his chances like that?
45740	What was the matter?
45740	What was the mystery about the Boy Scouts?
45740	What was the use, anyhow?
45740	What was the use?
45740	What''s his sister''s middle name?
45740	What''s next?"
45740	What''s that got to do with it?"
45740	What''s the fire department for?
45740	What''s the matter, Rodman?
45740	What''s the secret?"
45740	What''s the signal?"
45740	What-- what did I tell you?
45740	Where''s Bonfire?
45740	Where''s the ball?
45740	Where?
45740	Who always helps us on the dot?
45740	Who is the only friend we''ve got?"
45740	Why did n''t he let me do it?
45740	Why did n''t you try for the team this spring?"
45740	Why did you do it?"
45740	Why did you keep that poor little boy with the ragged clothes from coming over to the picnic?
45740	Why do n''t the Scouts like you?"
45740	Why do n''t you men do something?
45740	Why do n''t you try?
45740	Why had Nap been so badly beaten?
45740	Why had he been dropped?
45740	Why not put the problem squarely up to the squad at the end of the quarter, when, by previous agreement, it would be permissible to talk with them?
45740	Why should he allow the coach another chance to walk off with borrowed laurels?
45740	Why should he tell Coach Leland about the play?
45740	Why, you muckle- headed McGrew, do you expect to get a merit badge for trying to start a motor without throwing on the switch?"
45740	Why?
45740	Will you drop out, Kiproy?"
45740	Would Buck--"What''s the matter, Billy?"
45740	Would it never come?
45740	You are n''t going to run off without finishing your supper, are you?
45740	You did n''t suppose I was thanking you for throwing out Clark at home, did you?
45740	You do n''t need me as a sub, do you?"
45740	You-- you tipped us over here on purpose, did n''t you?"
45740	Your Scouts asked you if they could, did n''t they?"
45740	_ How Specs Found He had been Mistaken in Rodman Cree_"How about playing a little scrub ball?"
45740	and"Why not?"
45740	he laughed,"what''s the use of wasting our wood when that fellow''s head is a regular bonfire?"
45740	he protested;"forget it, wo n''t you?"
37487	A dead man?
37487	Already?
37487	Also that they were foresters-- the men who told the story about the Chinks, I mean?
37487	An''they took you into the patrol, did they?
37487	And all the Chinks, and everything you discovered while visiting them in the caves almost under the divide?
37487	And not come back here again?
37487	And now the question is this,Frank went on,"what was the door fitted for?
37487	And so no one will ever know who the dead man was?
37487	And so you gave him up as a bad proposition?
37487	And steal the aeroplane?
37487	And the others?
37487	And the wind?
37487	And what do you wish me to do about it?
37487	And you have reported to your superior officers?
37487	And you let him search my rooms?
37487	And you think you can close this case by going to San Francisco?
37487	Any forest fires in sight?
37487	Any wild animals up here?
37487	Are n''t we going back to that lake cavern again?
37487	Are they in this city? 37487 Are you Albert Lemon?"
37487	Are you all safe up here, safe and sound?
37487	Are you armed?
37487	Are you hungry?
37487	Are you sure of your clues?
37487	Are you thinking of giving me a ride in that thing?
37487	Been to supper?
37487	But do you?
37487	But how did you ever get through the burning forest?
37487	But what good would it have done?
37487	But you formerly used one here?
37487	By the way,Frank said, presently,"what did you mean when you told Green that you had a''cue''which would bring out the man behind the scenes?"
37487	Can you describe the fellow?
37487	Can you see the earth yet?
37487	Cold?
37487	Did Ned say anything to you while at Missoula, about an aeroplane?
37487	Did n''t it take your breath away?
37487	Did you find his clothes?
37487	Did you fire that shot?
37487	Did you injure the machine in any way?
37487	Did you make it?
37487	Did you shoot them?
37487	Do n''t they get gold by washing it out?
37487	Do n''t you smell it?
37487	Do you give that as an order?
37487	Do you know where the Chinks have gone?
37487	Do you know where to look for them, north or south?
37487	Do you mean that he was murdered?
37487	Do you mean that they bring Chinks over the border here, an''so run them down into civilization whenever they get a chance?
37487	Do you mean to accuse my son of crime?
37487	Do you recognize that?
37487	Do you see Chang poking his head around that rock in the opening? 37487 Do you think they will find this Ned Nestor there?"
37487	Does that mean that you are getting hungry?
37487	Dope, then?
37487	Down at the lake?
37487	Flesh?
37487	For what?
37487	From here?
37487	Have they captured any of the others?
37487	Have they heard from the men they sent out to capture them?
37487	Have you been keeping a good lookout on the lake since you left it?
37487	Have you heard from any of the other groups?
37487	He ca n''t bring Jimmie along in his pocket, can he? 37487 He mentioned the aeroplane?"
37487	Hit the pipe?
37487	How about gasoline and provisions?
37487	How did he get here?
37487	How did you come across Liu?
37487	How did you ever find this hole?
37487	How did you get here?
37487	How did you get that fall?
37487	How did you get wise to the trouble up here?
37487	How do you know so much about it?
37487	How do you know,Ned asked, with a smile at the others,"that this man is Albert Lemon, your son?"
37487	How do you think I got here?
37487	How does he make that?
37487	How large a place is it in there?
37487	How long have you been prowling about here?
37487	How many men did you see?
37487	How many men?
37487	How many were here?
37487	How would you like to be back in little old Washington Square just now?
37487	Hungly?
37487	Hungry, little man?
37487	Hungry?
37487	I hope they are not out in the forest thinking of starting a fire?
37487	I see,Ned replied, coolly,"perhaps that was done while you were up in the mountains with Emory-- before he was killed?"
37487	I wonder if all the world is burned, except just this mountain?
37487	I wonder if they''re all alive?
37487	I wonder if we''ll ever be able to put the tents up again?
37487	I wonder what time I made coming down?
37487	If you go away to- morrow,he said, presently,"what is to become of the clues we found in the cavern by the lake?"
37487	If you were going so merrily before the wind, why did he want steerway?
37487	Indians?
37487	Investigating what?
37487	Is Ned Nestor here?
37487	Is that to be used to enforce the eating of the steak?
37487	Is there a Chinese patrol?
37487	Is there something else?
37487	It ca n''t be the dead man?
37487	It would mix things for me to make these arrests and have the big ones get away, now, would n''t it?
37487	Liu can protect you, ca n''t he?
37487	Makes a pretty decent place of it, eh?
37487	Not out in a boat in a storm like this?
37487	Now, what do you want?
37487	Now, what does he mean by it?
37487	Oh, yes, you mean fresh? 37487 Oh,"Frank replied,"you''re getting it out there, too, are you?
37487	Opium?
37487	Pat, Jack and the Chink Scout? 37487 Perhaps I have,"the man said,"but, supposing that to be the case, where do you come in?
37487	Perhaps you will also remember,Ned went on,"that on my former visit here I exhibited a key with a broken stem-- the key to that writing desk?"
37487	Perhaps you will be kind enough to give us his name?
37487	Pulls hard, does n''t it?
37487	Say,he cried,"you got a fire here?
37487	Smuggled in?
37487	So that is the real trouble?
37487	Stiles is your tailor?
37487	Suppose he took a notion to get a motor boat and run up the north branch of the Flathead river, and so on into Kintla lake, down there? 37487 Suppose there''s another cat here?
37487	Sure you can identify the man who hired you?
37487	Sure you''re not hurt?
37487	That must be the way of it,Frank said,"but what does he want?
37487	That old canned stuff?
37487	The Chinese fire- fighters?
37487	The others wo n''t dare bring it out, of course?
37487	Then that is n''t my servant at all?
37487	Then there are fires east of the divide?
37487	Then who is the man from San Francisco?
37487	Then you ca n''t tell me who Emory went away with?
37487	Then you''ve been in the air all day?
37487	They do n''t know where you are?
37487	They ran away from you?
37487	This, I presume,Greer said, still pulling at the machine,"is the aeroplane your friends came in this evening?"
37487	To San Francisco?
37487	Too much poppy, I presume?
37487	Treachery in the Secret Service, eh?
37487	Was he permitted to become a member of an American patrol?
37487	We ca n''t run around among the trees with it, can we? 37487 We went up so far that the mountains looked like ant hills, did n''t we, Ned?"
37487	We''ll have to fight our way out?
37487	We''re cooking a steak à la brigand, ai n''t we?
37487	We''ve got to go into that mess of smoke, I suppose?
37487	Well, he went to bed, did n''t he?
37487	Well, what do you see?
37487	Well, what do you want here?
37487	Well, why do n''t you come down, then?
37487	Well, would n''t he go without it?
37487	What about Jimmie?
37487	What about it?
37487	What are the prospects?
37487	What are you doing here?
37487	What can we do when we get there?
37487	What could happen to them?
37487	What did Green say to you this morning?
37487	What did you find in there?
37487	What did you find out in the city? 37487 What do you know about that?"
37487	What do you suppose we can do against a fire like that?
37487	What do you want of him?
37487	What do you want to find''em for?
37487	What does the badge say?
37487	What does the badge say?
37487	What does this mean?
37487	What else could it be?
37487	What have you been doing?
37487	What have you found?
37487	What is Chang doin''here?
37487	What is he doing to it?
37487	What is it?
37487	What is the next move?
37487	What is this kid doing here, anyway?
37487	What is to be done?
37487	What papers did you steal while in the mountains?
37487	What patrol?
37487	What sort of a combination is this, anyway?
37487	What sort of people?
37487	What the dickens can we do with an aeroplane in this wilderness?
37487	What were you doing there?
37487	What were you to receive for the job?
37487	What work?
37487	What would Chinks be doing up here?
37487	What you goin''to do?
37487	What you got?
37487	What''s doin''here?
37487	What''s doing now?
37487	What''s doing out there?
37487	What''s he got to do with it?
37487	What''s the idea?
37487	What''s the word?
37487	What''s this bunch doin''here?
37487	When did you come here?
37487	Where are the Chinamen you brought away from the British border?
37487	Where are the others?
37487	Where are we goin''to- night?
37487	Where are you goin''to take us for trial?
37487	Where are you?
37487	Where are your friends?
37487	Where did you find foresters?
37487	Where did you find it?
37487	Where did you get it? 37487 Where did you learn to speak United States so well?"
37487	Where did you pick it up?
37487	Where is Liu?
37487	Where is it?
37487	Where is the body you speak of?
37487	Where is the boy who was with you in the aeroplane?
37487	Where''s Ned?
37487	Where?
37487	Which one of the walls do you want us to push in? 37487 Who are you talking to?"
37487	Who did, then?
37487	Who knows what the fire will do to the lake?
37487	Who was it that engaged you-- gave you your instructions?
37487	Who would have suspected it?
37487	Why ca n''t we all go out there and eat?
37487	Why did you shoot at all?
37487	Why did you try such a foolish caper?
37487	Why did you want the aeroplane?
37487	Why do n''t he want me killed?
37487	Why do n''t you come in here?
37487	Why do n''t you go and get me some grub?
37487	Why do you call it a brigand steak?
37487	Why do you place the crime on the dead?
37487	Why is he mixed up with that disreputable old Chink?
37487	Why not go on to Frisco in the aeroplane and ask for instructions? 37487 Why not go to the cave until the rain stops?"
37487	Why not? 37487 Why was n''t I informed of this new element in the case?"
37487	Why,he cried, in a moment,"where''s Jimmie?
37487	Wigwag?
37487	Will he help me out of this hole, or will he ignore me?
37487	Will the fire get here?
37487	Will you see who is there?
37487	Wo n''t it burn itself out there, too?
37487	Wonder if he''s been all this time lookin''for me?
37487	Would n''t we?
37487	You do n''t think it is Nestor, do you?
37487	You found my son murdered?
37487	You heard what I just said to Chang?
37487	You know what has been going on then?
37487	You remember Felix Emory?
37487	You remember what Jimmie said?
37487	You saw how he acted when Ned went off without him-- how sulky he was?
37487	You told me all you know?
37487	You walked all the way?
37487	You will do this willingly?
37487	You would know the man again?
37487	You''re not thinking of going there to- night, are you?
37487	Again he asked himself the question:"Is this Albert Lemon, or was the dead man Albert Lemon?"
37487	And Jimmie,"he added,"suppose you keep an eye on the plateau?
37487	And how does he expect us to answer?"
37487	And you, Jap,"he went on, turning to the servant,"when did you turn against me?"
37487	Any one been here?"
37487	But how do you think that we, who are not so well provided with means of getting away, are to escape death?"
37487	But how in the name of all that''s wonderful did you ever find your way here?"
37487	By the way, Slocum, why do n''t you take the lad to the police station?
37487	By the way, have you a machine here?"
37487	Did you obey orders?"
37487	Do n''t you see?"
37487	Do you know how it came there?"
37487	Do you think they knew of the employment of Sawyer and the others by the men at the head of the conspiracy?"
37487	Dope, eh?"
37487	Going to remain long?"
37487	Had the man been killed as the result of a conspiracy between the two interests?
37487	Have the men who have been setting fire to the forests established a home here?
37487	Have you seen him?"
37487	He''s angry now-- hear him pound with his tail?
37487	How did he ever do it?"
37487	How did this man gain entrance here?"
37487	How do you feel by this time?"
37487	How is it, boys?"
37487	How long would it take him to make the trip?"
37487	I suppose you want me to shoot the cat?"
37487	I want to know what you think of the Chinks?"
37487	I wonder if it is n''t most morning?"
37487	I wonder if there''s goin''to be another forest blaze here?"
37487	If Washington has confidence enough in you to put you in charge of the blindest case in history, why should n''t I have equal confidence in you?
37487	If he had taken so much interest in their movements, Pat thought, why had n''t he shown himself before?
37487	If we ca n''t chase around among the trees in an aeroplane,"he continued,"we can sail over the forests and high peaks, ca n''t we?
37487	Is there gold in there?
37487	Is this the hiding place of a band of outlaws?
37487	Jack was evidently there somewhere, but where?
37487	Jimmie cried, looking Ned in the face,"how would you like to meet a friend with a basket of ice?"
37487	Lemon?"
37487	Ned remained silent for a moment and then abruptly asked:"What kind of footwear made those heelless prints?"
37487	Now, here''s another question: How far does this seam extend under the Rocky Mountains?
37487	Now, the question is this: How are we going to get out?"
37487	Now, what do you think that is?"
37487	See?
37487	Some of the questions he asked himself were:"How did that Chinese boy become a Boy Scout?"
37487	Suppose we fix up the camp and get ready for our eats?"
37487	Suppose we try to learn something of the character of the people who come here?
37487	That even this old man must suffer for your bit of foolish daring?"
37487	The duplicate you kept in the box on the shelf?
37487	Then a voice came out of the mouldy darkness:"How are you getting on in the Secret Service, Ned Nestor?"
37487	Then:"They told you that, did they?"
37487	Was it this man Emory who killed him?"
37487	What about it?"
37487	What about that?"
37487	What about that?"
37487	What about that?"
37487	What are we going to do now?"
37487	What business calling for the use of a typewriter was being transacted under the main divide of the Rocky Mountains?
37487	What do you make of it?"
37487	What do you make of that?"
37487	What do you say?"
37487	What you boys doing here, wasting your time, with the bacon burning to a crisp?"
37487	When he spoke again it was to ask:"What are you doing in the Rocky Mountains?"
37487	Where did you put those canned beans?"
37487	Where does this air go when it backs up?"
37487	Where was Jack?
37487	Where were they?"
37487	Which shall It be?"
37487	Who are you?"
37487	Who cut this cavern, and who brought the furniture here?
37487	Who was hurt?"
37487	Why did n''t we think of that before?
37487	Why did the men who found the cave desire privacy?
37487	Why did you think it necessary to break the lock?"
37487	Why do n''t you get busy?"
37487	Why do n''t you show a light?"
37487	Why do n''t you turn off your light?"
37487	Why not?"
37487	Why?
37487	Why?
37487	Wonder what became of the man who said his name was Greer?
37487	You know very well that we can never let you go out of this place alive?
37487	You saw some of the Chinks?"
37487	You say the man was dead?"
37487	You see that, do n''t you?"
37487	You think you left it in the suit of clothes you gave Emory?"
37487	You understand that they are farther to the east than when we left them?"
37487	repeated Pat, all excitement at the suggestion of another adventure,"what kind of a crime?"
37487	signal?"
54755	An''do all the other byes feel the same way?
54755	And what?
54755	And you, Walt?
54755	Anything new here?
54755	Are the canoes ready?
54755	Are there any more like that in here?
54755	Are you ready?
54755	Are you sure? 54755 Aw, Louis, slow her down, wo n''t you?"
54755	But the negative is yours, is n''t it?
54755	But the thief?
54755	But wo n''t the cook get Mike when he comes back?
54755	But-- but what does it mean?
54755	Can you call him now?
54755	Chief,he panted, saluting Avery,"may I-- may I see you alone for a few minutes?"
54755	D- d- did you hear that?
54755	Did I win?
54755	Did n''t give yer a lock o''his hair fer a soovineer, did he, son?
54755	Did you find the pin?
54755	Did you see her all the time?
54755	Do n''t you know that all worker bees are females? 54755 Do you call that a fish?"
54755	Do you s''pose the big chief''s goin''to fire us for keepin''from freezin''to death? 54755 Do you see him, son?"
54755	For heaven''s sake, Billy, what''s the matter?
54755	Gee, ai n''t it great?
54755	Gee, now I''ve got him what''ll I do with him?
54755	Get him?
54755	Git''em, pard?
54755	Goin''ter bate Harrison, be yez?
54755	Going to use tank development?
54755	Good? 54755 Got any matches, Spud?"
54755	Got your goat with you?
54755	Guess your name is Upton, is n''t it?
54755	Has one Scout any right to cast suspicion on the honor of another Scout? 54755 Him?
54755	How about this?
54755	How did you find out all this?
54755	How do you expect to follow the line if you ai n''t got the box? 54755 How do you know it was a mink?"
54755	How do you know?
54755	How do you know?
54755	How many flashlights did you make?
54755	How the deuce do we know, when you have n''t told us your story yet? 54755 How will flapjacks and th''rest o''them trout hit yer fer a lining fer yer stomach, pard?"
54755	How you feeling?
54755	How''d yer like thet?
54755	Huh, yez do, do yez?
54755	If you please, is this Upper Chain?
54755	Is he coming among us with the eyes of a paleface?
54755	Is her papa a big chief?
54755	Is this your first year?
54755	Is ut now?
54755	It''s quite primeval, is n''t it?
54755	Just a trifle over time, do n''t you think, Upton? 54755 Looks bad, does n''t it?"
54755	Me? 54755 Me?
54755	Me? 54755 Meaning whom?"
54755	Never hit th''trail t''th''big woods afore, did yer?
54755	Never see a sunrise in th''mountains afore, did yer, sonny?
54755	Now what do we do, chase along after her?
54755	Now what do you fellers think we''d better do?
54755	Now what''s the matter, you old gloom chaser?
54755	Oi wonder now, have yez forgot the big pickerel yez have lyin''down on the raft? 54755 Oi wonder now, have yez got the price?
54755	Paddling?
54755	Pat, did Harrison ever have much luck in here?
54755	Pat,he broke in abruptly,"did Mike ever follow you to Woodcraft?"
54755	Red Pete?
54755	Say, Hal, why do n''t you go own up to Dr. Merriam and ask him to try and put you right with the fellows?
54755	Say, Tug, will you coach me?
54755	Say, Walt, did he have light curly hair and a front tooth missing?
54755	Say, bye, did ye tell the docther av the low- down thrick this Harrison has been afther playin''?
54755	Say, did you know that he brought in another record fish this morning? 54755 Say, fellows,"said he,"you remember what was said about Pat Malone this morning?
54755	Say, what''s chewing you, anyway?
54755	Say,he added as he looked up,"what''s the matter with you, you grinning Cheshire cat?"
54755	Say,he demanded,"what kind of a bunco steer are you givin''us, anyway?
54755	Shall we have it now or wait till morning?
54755	Shall you report to the big chief?
54755	Shure, wud ye be takin''th''bread an''butter out av the mouth av a poor worrkin''man?
54755	So the big chief( that''s what we call the doctor) has made a Delaware of you? 54755 So you do n''t take any stock in the bear?"
54755	So you think that''s pretty good, do you, Jim?
54755	Sons of the Lenape, do I speak truly?
54755	Tell me, bye, what''s this about catchin''the biggest fish at Woodcraft Camp?
54755	Thafe, is ut?
54755	Think you can be respectful to your elders?
54755	This is n''t to be another fight?
54755	Walt or the loon?
54755	Walt, did Pat show you his fishing ground?
54755	Walt, you ai n''t foolin'', are you? 54755 Walter,"said he,"how should you like to spend next summer at Woodcraft?"
54755	Want ter foight?
54755	Was the hant t''hum?
54755	We leave matters right where they were then, do we?
54755	Well, Walt, what ought we to do?
54755	Well, pard, how do yer like''em?
54755	Well, what are you catching?
54755	Well, what are you going to do about it?
54755	Well, what''s the matter with a visit to the haunted cabin? 54755 Well?"
54755	Well?
54755	Wh- what do you mean?
54755	Whar did ye say ye went when ye left th''canoe?
54755	What about that second line we ai n''t run down yet?
54755	What are you doing here?
54755	What are you going to do?
54755	What are you talking about?
54755	What became of the girl?
54755	What did I tell yer? 54755 What did I tell yer?"
54755	What did the doctor do?
54755	What do you know about it, Walter?
54755	What do you mean?
54755	What do you mean?
54755	What do you take me for? 54755 What do you take me for?
54755	What do you wonder?
54755	What does Hal do with all his spending money?
54755	What does it mean, Upton?
54755	What for? 54755 What for?"
54755	What in blazes was you trying to do anyway? 54755 What is it?
54755	What is it?
54755	What is it?
54755	What is the honor of a Scout?
54755	What is this about Mother Merriam''s pin?
54755	What luck?
54755	What shall we do now, make a break out of here?
54755	What will we do, split up and you follow one line while I follow the other?
54755	What would I read''em for, sonny? 54755 What would you do, Pat?"
54755	What yer been doin''t''rile him up so?
54755	What you goin''to do, Billy?
54755	What you waking me up now for?
54755	What''d you catch him with?
54755	What''s that for?
54755	What''s that?
54755	What''s thet ye said, son?
54755	What''s this, Upton?
54755	What, do ye mane ter tell me ye be thinkin''Oi iver showed him where Oi was ketching the fish he bought?
54755	Where did he get the name of Whisky Jack?
54755	Where did those bees come from?
54755	Where''ll we make it, right here?
54755	Where''s the fire?
54755	Which?
54755	Who is he?
54755	Who is she, Walt?
54755	Whom do you suspect, Jim?
54755	Whose are they?
54755	Why did n''t you invite him t''breakfast, son?
54755	Why not, Louis?
54755	Will ye take these ter show Noo Yorrk th''latest shtoile in shoes?
54755	Will yez do it now if Oi''ll show yez where thim big fish is an''how ter ketch''em?
54755	Will you shake?
54755	Would he follow you there now if you''d let him?
54755	Yez think Oi''m a thafe, do yez?
54755	You are quite sure you want to do this thing, Hal? 54755 You are sure this is Upper Chain?"
54755	You did n''t suppose I was going to let you land Big Jim and I not be there, did you?
54755	You do n''t suppose what?
54755	You do n''t suppose-- you-- say, do you believe it could have been Hal Harrison?
54755	You remember what Louis said to Billy the other day? 54755 You''re all right, Upton, and say, was n''t Louis a lulu?"
54755	You''re not going to let him shoot, are you, Pat?
54755	''What''ll you take for the boots, cookie?''
54755	Absolutely sure?"
54755	And Hal''s own tribesmen, was it fair to them to allow them to profit by points to which, though no fault of theirs, they had no right?
54755	And if so what if he should happen to meet him alone in the woods?
54755	And was not this evidence that he was making good?
54755	Anyhow, who''s going to know if we do go out of bounds?
54755	Are you on?"
54755	As the launch was made fast Billy whispered,"Here comes Dr. Merriam; is n''t he a peach?"
54755	Br- r- r- r, who says this is July?"
54755	But that young gentleman looked so innocent as he inquired,"What''s your idea, Tug?"
54755	But what has all this got to do with Moike?"
54755	But why could n''t he have hired some one to put him next-- guide for him?"
54755	By the way, Chip, do you know just which nails are missing from Pat''s boot, and which three were lacking in those prints?"
54755	By the way, Upton, do you go in for athletics, besides boxing?"
54755	CHAPTER XVII THE HAUNTED CABIN"What''s on this afternoon?"
54755	Could he have overrun it?
54755	Could he make it?
54755	Could he meet it?
54755	Could he save both?
54755	Could he?
54755	Could it be that Jim had disconnected the wires and was unable to fire the flash?
54755	Could it be that the deer had enemies stalking it?
54755	Could it be that the thief was really one of their number?
54755	Did Red Pete suspect?
54755	Did he look pleasant?
54755	Did n''t I say it was Red Pete?
54755	Did them books teach yer thet lightnin''whirl?
54755	Did yer notice that scar on his shoulder?
54755	Did-- did you put him up to it?"
54755	Do n''t you remember?"
54755	Do the other fellows know?"
54755	Do you know anything about it?"
54755	Do you s''pose they''ll come over this way?"
54755	Does that beat it?"
54755	Ever see one before?"
54755	Everly?"
54755	Funny about those boots of Pat''s, ai n''t it?
54755	Ha, what was that?
54755	Had he at last found the long lost clue?
54755	Had he imagined it?
54755	Had the animal taken fright?
54755	Have an accident?"
54755	Have n''t I given you proof enough?
54755	Have you heard the news?"
54755	He''s been in camp only three days, so what did you know of his powers of resource?
54755	Hello, what''s this?"
54755	Here we are, and the question is, What are we going to do about it?
54755	How did you know that Allen there would be able to take care of himself, plunged unexpectedly into the water?
54755	How far from the camp was he?
54755	How much did you pay for the bunch?"
54755	How should you like that for the last two or three weeks of your vacation?"
54755	If you do n''t blab who''s going to know it?
54755	If you have not-- ah, why try to describe it?
54755	Is n''t he a Seneca, and are n''t the Senecas the enemies of the Delawares?"
54755	Is n''t there somethin''else you''re interested in that you can go in for points on?"
54755	Is this evidence enough for yer, warden?"
54755	My first year?
54755	Never was off of Broadway before, was you?
54755	Now, are you going to punch my head or are you going to shake hands?"
54755	Now, if Mike had been following you, and had seen that pin on the window sill would he have been likely to have picked it up and carried it off?"
54755	On the impulse of a moment I run up there to have a look at him, and what do I find?
54755	On the other hand had he any moral right to allow his fellow tribesmen to suffer through the dishonesty of which he held the proof?
54755	Other fellows were all the time doing things, why should n''t he?
54755	Ought I to tell?
54755	Ought I to tell?"
54755	Ought he to stay back as Tug had told him to?
54755	Over and over till his brain grew weary he kept repeating the perplexing question,"Ought I to tell?
54755	Read them books?"
54755	Say, Hal, put us wise to that private preserve of yours, will you?"
54755	Say, do I look like a tenderfoot?"
54755	Say, fellows, Pat''s been hanging''round camp for the last three or four days; what do you suppose he''s after?"
54755	Should he give it up and make the plunge for the Durant cutting?
54755	Superstition''s a queer thing, is n''t it?"
54755	Tell me, you rabbit- footed tenderfoot, have you got proof?"
54755	The canoe had not leaked before-- what did it mean?
54755	The prints are gone now, and if we had both pairs of boots here what good would they do us?
54755	Think a bee''s goin''to take you by the hand and lead you?"
54755	To become a bearer of tales?
54755	To get the''hant''?"
54755	To go report what he had learned?
54755	Turning once more to the captive the speaker asked:"Paleface, are you prepared to stand the test?"
54755	Want to come in with me while I develop, Hal?"
54755	Was he Scout enough to hold his course for two miles through that tangle of wilderness?
54755	Was it possible that that was only eight weeks before?
54755	Was it really necessary after all to so humiliate himself?
54755	Was that Joe Brown''s answering signal?
54755	We''ll get Louis Woodhull to go with us, wo n''t we, Walt?"
54755	Well, what''s the matter with us three hanging together to beat Hal at his own game?
54755	What could it mean?
54755	What did his honor as a Scout demand of him?
54755	What did you find, Tug?"
54755	What do n''t you suppose?"
54755	What do you s''pose I''ve been coachin''you for all summer?"
54755	What do you say if we go back?"
54755	What do you say, fellows?"
54755	What do you say?"
54755	What do you think about opening that bee tree?"
54755	What do you think of that?"
54755	What for?"
54755	What kind av a low- down hedgehog do ye take me fer, anyway?"
54755	What luck?"
54755	What might yer name be an''whar be yer from?"
54755	What more do you want?"
54755	What roight have th''loikes av thim ter be callin''me a thafe jist because Oi''m poor an''live in the woods?
54755	What roight have they to be callin''me a thafe, an''me wid no chance ter say a wurrd?
54755	What show''s a bye loike me got, anyway?
54755	What was he waiting so long for?
54755	What was the matter with him?
54755	What was the matter with them down there?
54755	What was the matter?
54755	What we goin''to do about that?"
54755	What were those tales he had heard of the cabin being haunted?
54755	What''d we better do about it?"
54755	What''d we build that lean- to for?
54755	What''s the matter with us three working together on this thing?"
54755	Where did you learn to use your fists?"
54755	Where lay the path of duty?
54755	Where was the camp?
54755	Where''s that new stroke that''s going to win the championship?
54755	Which way do we go?"
54755	Who are you?"
54755	Who had stolen Mother Merriam''s pin?
54755	Who is it?"
54755	Who says there is n''t some class to us as scouts?"
54755	Who?
54755	Who?
54755	Why could n''t he do something big like that?
54755	Why did n''t I think of it before?
54755	Why did n''t Jim whoop when he found the tree as he had agreed to do?
54755	Why did n''t you say so before?"
54755	Why did the smoke seem so much thicker down there to the east at the very foot of Scraggy itself?
54755	Why had n''t he remembered Jack Appleby''s wireless outfit before?
54755	With feverish haste he pounded out in the Morse code,"Is this you, Brown?"
54755	Wonder what''s up?"
54755	Would Tug never hit it up?
54755	Would he save them?
54755	Would the doctor be able to bring help in time?
54755	Would the flash never go?
54755	Would they come for him in the morning or would he have to find his way in alone?
54755	Would they never hear?
54755	Would they never hear?
54755	Would they never hear?
54755	Ye will kape ut ter yerself now, will ye not?"
54755	You addle- pated little scamp, when will you ever learn that whatever risks a man may run himself he has no right to involve others in danger?
54755	You do n''t suppose he''d be such a fool as to have it lying around in plain sight, do you?"
54755	You''ll be back, of course?"
8067	About how far away from our harbor are we, Thad?
8067	Ai n''t you nearly done all that stuff?
8067	Allan, how about you?
8067	And I think you''ve said once or twice that they seemed to be a rough lot?
8067	And do n''t it taste finer than ever, though?
8067	And do n''t you think it''d be a good plan, Thad,suggested Step Hen,"to always keep that gun in evidence?
8067	And it did?
8067	And it really led you to a cabin, did it?
8067	And now you mean that it''s doing that very same thing, do you?
8067	And suppose there was, how could we ever chop one down with one little camp hatchet, and hollow out the log?
8067	And that''s bad for the boat, ai n''t it?
8067	And then you think that p''raps those men are wardens, looking for poachers that are breaking the law some way or other?
8067	And was there only one up there?
8067	And we ai n''t goin''to have to swim for it then?
8067	And we''re too nicely fixed here for that, ai n''t we?
8067	And will we have to pole, or row, the rest of the trip?
8067	And, say, did you think it was to- morrow, or the next day, and we''d just about forgotten we had a chum who was missing? 8067 Any signs of''em, Thad?"
8067	Are we agoing to walk straight up to that door, and knock it in?
8067	Besides, ai n''t we got a gun that shoots twice? 8067 Besides, how d''ye know that''s a mate to my bird whooping it up back there?"
8067	But ai n''t we going away soon?
8067	But do you really expect the rickety old engine''ll go back on us before we get to that harbor you''re heading for?
8067	But explain and tell us what you mean by hinting that they might n''t be sensible men?
8067	But how about all our stuff here; shall we leave it behind?
8067	But how about it, Thad; do we leave''em here, and run the chance of getting the same took; or shall we take the stuff along with us?
8067	But how about starting to sea in this blow?
8067	But see here, Bumpus,said Thad,"what do you mean when you say you refused to tell?
8067	But see here, what possessed you to walk around in this way, and go over to try and pet that savage bird?
8067	But suppose now they would n''t want to get out in such a hurry? 8067 But they might come here, ai n''t that so?"
8067	But we''ve gone over a heap of ground during the five days we''ve been afloat on this inland sea, have n''t we, boys?
8067	But what about the trout; I''ve heard there are awful big speckled trout in Superior?
8067	But what could come along to give us a meal around noon?
8067	But what do you think they might be, Thad?
8067	But what had you hid away that they wanted so badly?
8067	But what happened to our engine?
8067	But when you said smugglers, what did you mean, Giraffe?
8067	But where do I come in?
8067	But who''ll guarantee that the wind does n''t shift into the north during the night, and have a full sweep at us here?
8067	But you do n''t hear even a peep, do you, fellows?
8067	But you think they''re in that place, do n''t you?
8067	But, Thad,observed Giraffe,"how about that anchor rope?
8067	Did it try to grab you?
8067	Did you say there, were only three of this bad crowd, Thad?
8067	Do n''t that sound like Thad might a hit up against something big? 8067 Do n''t think I''ll need it, do you, Allan?"
8067	Do n''t think you''d better take that gun along with you, Thad?
8067	Do we want''em to go, or stay?
8067	Do you mean you do n''t remember getting up, and coming out here?
8067	Do you think so; wish I could believe it?
8067	Guess I ought to know what a man''s head looks like, had n''t I?
8067	Guess the old lake do n''t freeze over solid any time; it''s too big, ai n''t it, Thad?
8067	Guessed where he''s gone, have you, Thad?
8067	Had n''t we better get them life preservers out, and fastened on under our arms, Thad? 8067 Had n''t we better save this piece of steak for Tim?"
8067	How about paying for the use of the boat; has all that been attended to?
8067	How about that, Thad?
8067	How are you going to do that, when this man seems disposed to give us the cold- shoulder?
8067	How can I tell?
8067	How d''ye know there ai n''t somethin''ahiding in there?
8067	How deep do you think it is in here, Thad?
8067	How did this come in here, fellows?
8067	How long ago was that, did you say, Davy?
8067	How long have I been shut up here, anyway, fellows? 8067 However those men could sleep in here beats me?"
8067	I heard you asking what day this was, and from that we understand that you must have lost your senses for a while, and got mixed up?
8067	I suppose we might as well do it, fellows?
8067	I suppose you''ll do the mending part, Bumpus?
8067	I wonder,Davy broke in with,"what we could do if our boat was carried away, or we found we could n''t mend the same?"
8067	I''d like to, know why you call it ground, when, we''ve been moving over water all the time?
8067	If anybody came along here just on purpose to take a good look at us, whereabouts d''ye think they''d be likely to show up, first of all, Thad?
8067	Is it safe?
8067	Is that a challenge, Bumpus?
8067	Is that all?
8067	Is that so, Thad?
8067	It sort of complicates the situation some, too, do n''t it?
8067	Just explain that, will you, and tell me why I do n''t?
8067	Listen to that, now, would you?
8067	Look at Bumpus, would you?
8067	Make him stop talking that way, Thad, wo n''t you?
8067	Me? 8067 No boat in sight, I take it, Thad?"
8067	Not there, then?
8067	Nothing else for us to do but go aboard, and make a bully start, is there, Thad?
8067	Now what?
8067	Now, Thad, do n''t you think it''d be a good idea to have everybody hustle, and collect what fuel we could?
8067	Now, about the terms; what sort of fish are we to grab?
8067	Now, what makes you go and say that, Giraffe? 8067 Now, what sort of a queer rumpus would you call that?"
8067	Of course you could n''t tell how many of these men there were, Thad?
8067	Oh I ai n''t there?
8067	One?
8067	Say, could n''t you hold up a little while, and let me go back after a few more of those fine fish?
8067	Say, where''s my other shoe? 8067 Seem to be some clouds gathering?"
8067	Sprung a leak, mebbe?
8067	Stop that kind of talk, Giraffe,ordered Thad, who would rather look on the bright side of things;"do n''t you see you''re only bothering Bumpus?"
8067	Sure I will, Giraffe; what is it you want now?
8067	Sure you are heading right to make that cove?
8067	Tell us what that might be, wo n''t you?
8067	Thad, ai n''t there any way we could work in? 8067 Thad, are we going to stand this any longer?"
8067	Thad, do you think this island could be inhabited?
8067	Thad, what do you think they might do?
8067	Thank you, Bumpus, I''ll remember that, though I think it means''do you speak French?'' 8067 That means our only hope lies in Sturgeon Island, do n''t it?"
8067	That''s four in all; ca n''t you think up another, so''s to have it five; and then three points will be a majority, and wins out?
8067	That''s so, where can he be?
8067	That''s the very last of the bacon, ai n''t it, Giraffe?
8067	The ashes were still warm, then?
8067	Then he went away, did he?
8067	Then there ai n''t any danger?
8067	Then there is a storm bound to swoop down on us?
8067	Then we wo n''t have any trouble about making that safe harbor, will we?
8067	Then why did n''t, you tell me about it, Giraffe?
8067	Then you believe she was smashed worse''n any of us thought was the case; is that it, Thad?
8067	Then you do n''t think we had ought to rush the cabin, as yet?
8067	There, do n''t that make you feel foolish, Step Hen?
8067	There, what d''ye think of that for a jim dandy, fellows?
8067	W- w- what''s all this mean, mister?
8067	Was it really a wildcat?
8067	Was, hey?
8067	We ought to get her in closer before that happens, had n''t, we, fellows?
8067	We''d be a fine lot of scouts, would n''t we,broke in Davy, indignantly,"if we were ready to desert our chum when he was in hard luck?
8067	We''d better tell the other fellows, to begin with?
8067	We''ll have to be on our guard, then, Thad?
8067	We''ve got a little chance when we get to the end of the island, do n''t you see?
8067	Weak stomach- what, you?
8067	Well are you going to do what I told you?
8067	Well, did you find out anything?
8067	Well, we ai n''t going to stand for this, I hope?
8067	Well, we ca n''t do anything about it, can we?
8067	Well, well, tell me about that, will you?
8067	Well, what d''ye think of that?
8067	Well, what did he do?
8067	Well, what did you see, or hear?
8067	Well, what if he did, would that explain his absence one little bit?
8067	Well, what''s this? 8067 What about it?"
8067	What about?
8067	What ails the fellow?
8067	What ails you now?
8067	What bit you; ca n''t you tell us, Bumpus?
8067	What do you say, Thad?
8067	What do you say, Thad?
8067	What do you think of it now, Thad?
8067	What do you want now, Bumpus?
8067	What if them fellows took a notion to step in on us to- night, and make us all prisoners of war?
8067	What is it, Thad?
8067	What sort of worse, Davy?
8067	What''s that smoke over there mean?
8067	What''s the answer to that?
8067	What''s the answer to that?
8067	What''s the matter, Giraffe?
8067	What''s the use pushing out there again, and dropping the mud- hook overboard, when we can tie up so nicely right here?
8067	What''s up, Thad?
8067	What, Thad?
8067	Where was it, Davy?
8067	Where''s your nose?
8067	Who are you, anyway, boys?
8067	Who''ll clean it while I get a fire started ashore?
8067	Who''s missing?
8067	Why, however was I to know?
8067	Yes, but how about running out into that storm again, eh, Bumpus? 8067 Yes, how about that, Thad?"
8067	Yes, what might it be?
8067	Yes,interrupted Giraffe,"but ai n''t that already covered when you say the biggest fish?"
8067	You do n''t think, now, I hope, our chum is such an idiot that he''d start to take a little cruise out there on that rough water all by himself? 8067 You mean Smithy and Bob White, do n''t you?"
8067	You mean that Thad is with me in my assertion, do you?
8067	You mean where that small point juts out, do n''t you, Thad?
8067	You''re going off to hunt for him, I take it?
8067	Ai n''t it going from bad to worse, Thad, if so be you rush out by yourself and leave us here?"
8067	Ai n''t that right, judge?"
8067	Ai n''t you coming to assist a fellow scout in distress?"
8067	Allan took it that way, for had he not on numberless occasions done just about the same thing?
8067	And p''raps pounded him into a condition where he just could n''t give the alarm, no matter how hard he tried?
8067	And say, just cast your eye over there to the southwest; do n''t you see that low bank of clouds along the horizon?
8067	And what interest would any rascals have in trying to come aboard this boat?"
8067	Anybody seen my leather around?
8067	Anyhow, I leave it to Thad here if it''s a sportsmanlike way of scoring in our game?
8067	Besides, you could n''t coax Jim to take a bite till he''s nearly starved; ai n''t that so, Thad?"
8067	Both scouts nodded their heads violently, and Giraffe called out:"What d''ye want us to do, Thad?"
8067	Bumpus looked astonished, as though what he heard was hard to believe; for he shook his head slowly, and observed:"Tell me about that, will you?
8067	But Thad do you, really believe there could be a bunch of that stripe hiding out on Sturgeon Island?"
8067	But how about you, Giraffe?
8067	But how do you tell all this from the signs, Thad?
8067	But it makes a nasty cut, do n''t it, Allan?"
8067	CHAPTER VIII NO END OF TROUBLES"What''s that queer sound?"
8067	CHAPTER XIV THE SQUALL"Sturgeon Island, did you say, Allan?"
8067	CHAPTER XIX BAD NEIGHBORS"It seems to be getting worse and worse, the further we go, do n''t it, Thad?"
8067	CHAPTER XXIII WHERE WAS BUMPUS"Huh?
8067	Can anybody tell me what sort of a fish that is, anyway?
8067	Can we get this cabin roof off, and would it float, do you think, Thad?"
8067	Come ashore with that boat, you hear?
8067	Do n''t you know that they have heaps of trouble with such law- breakers all along the Canadian border?"
8067	Do they look like they''re ready to run away, Thad?"
8067	Do you both agree to that?"
8067	Do you know anything, or are you just trying to bother me on general principles?"
8067	Do you mean you believe they''d really hurt us, when we ai n''t so much as lifted a finger to do the bunch any harm?
8067	Do you understand?"
8067	Feel like going through another experience like that?"
8067	Giraffe, ai n''t you agoing to save your breakfast?"
8067	Giraffe, that was the time your bones told you the truth, did n''t they; and I reckon your knee joints are skinned some after that tumble, too?"
8067	He had felt his teeth rattle together, just as they had been doing now; but summoning all his courage to the fore he had grimly said:"who''s afraid?"
8067	Hear him talking, will you?
8067	How about it, Mr. Scout- master; is it fair?"
8067	How about that, Thad?"
8067	How do we know any different?
8067	How''d parley vous Francais sound, now?
8067	How''s that?"
8067	However will we tell his folks the sad news?"
8067	I told you that when I had a glimpse of the fellow who spied on our camp I thought he might be a foreigner, or a half- breed, did n''t I?"
8067	I wonder, now, what the poachers will think when they hear a bugle sound?
8067	I''m trying to head as near as I dare, because if once we''re forced past, there''s nothing left for us, you understand?"
8067	If those men happen to be hiding inside there, would n''t they have a fine chance to riddle us if we walked right up as big, as camels?
8067	Let me feel how heavy he is?
8067	Looky up yonder-- see the little peak that seems to stick up above all the rest of the old rock pile?
8067	Make room there, Bumpus, ca n''t you?"
8067	Make''em behave, Thad, ca n''t you?
8067	Mebbe one of you''d like to just climb up there, and see for yourself what it is?
8067	No, we''ve got to show a little strategy in this thing, eh, Allan?"
8067	Not any information about us, I should think?"
8067	Now, what are you going to do with six Boy Scouts off for a vacation trip on the lake?"
8067	Now, what d''ye say about that for an idea, hey?"
8067	Oh I some pumpkins about that same game, ai n''t I, Bumpus?
8067	Please tell me what day of the week this is?"
8067	Say yes, wo n''t you?"
8067	Say, Thad, whatever do you think this shack could a been used for?"
8067	Scout- master?"
8067	See that buster of a trout alying there on top?
8067	See?"
8067	Stop and think if things do n''t point that way?"
8067	Thad, what are we going to have for supper?"
8067	That ought to account for a couple of the rascals; and then what would one poor fish poacher be against a half dozen lively fellows, tell me that?"
8067	Them''s our sentiments, ai n''t they, fellows?"
8067	Then there was, another they called Step Hen, did n''t they, not to mention Davy Jones, Bob White and Smithy?
8067	Then, if there''s ducks around, or anything else to shoot, ai n''t we got a gun?
8067	There you are; and how about it?"
8067	There, what did I tell you?"
8067	This makes the fifth day since we started out; and things seem to be going along right smoothly at the old stand, do n''t they, fellows?"
8067	Understand that, Bumpus?"
8067	Wake up everybody, and do something, ca n''t you?
8067	What ails you all?"
8067	What d''ye call this but a kind of trap in the floor?"
8067	What did I do?
8067	What did old Robinson do but build him a boat?
8067	What good is it ever agoing to do you, to pretend to tell what sort of weather we''ll get next week, when it''s only a guess after all?
8067	What if they had a lot of valuable fish nets around somewhere that they hated to let go?
8067	What if this should be some sort of a trap, into which the rest of the boys were rushing headlong?
8067	What then?
8067	Whatever put that silly notion into your head, Bumpus?"
8067	Who''ll carry me on his shoulders, now?"
8067	Why, what use are the fishing lines to us if we ca n''t take lots of finny prizes?
8067	Would n''t that be the best plan, Thad?"
8067	Would n''t you think that way, Allan?"
8067	Would that break, now?
8067	You can understand that, Allan?"
8067	You do n''t know anything about it, I reckon?"
8067	You mean that thin chap who came along in his buggy a bit ago, chasing after us all the way from that town where we had a bite of lunch?
8067	You''ve got another think coming, Step Hen, do n''t you see?"
8067	ai n''t anybody agoin''to help me in?"
8067	and yonder craft might be one of the tricky boats engaged in that business; is that what you mean, Giraffe?"
8067	as what?"
8067	ca n''t we skip out before they get their hands on us, Thad?"
8067	ejaculated Step Hen,"however did you happen to meddle with my owl, tell me?
8067	exclaimed Step Hen;"he''s gone clean dippy, that''s what?
8067	gasped Bumpus;"d''ye mean to tell me they have such things on a big lake like this?
8067	he asked Davy and Step Hen, who from their positions might be expected to know;"did you notice many waves pour over the stern of the boat?"
8067	is that all?"
8067	is that so, Davy?"
8067	listen to the savage monster, would you?"
8067	look at the piles of fine fish, will you?"
8067	mebbe I do n''t wish I could have been there to touch up the scoundrels with this fine hatchet?
8067	mebbe, now, you think I could n''t do that same?"
8067	observed Giraffe;"how about not getting separated, like you just told us?
8067	please tell me whether his beak is poisonous, wo n''t you, Thad?"
8067	say, ca n''t we, keep him for a pet?"
8067	say, did you notice me acoming down that tree outside like greased lightning?
8067	tell me, did he get away with it?"
8067	that''s the way the wind blows, does it?
8067	what can we do now, Thad?"
8067	what''s happened to you, Bumpus?"
8067	what''s that?"
8067	where''s the other fellow?"
8067	who''s afraid?"
8067	who''s afraid?"
8067	yourself; what d''ye want?"
6338	And Tunnel Six is the haunted corridor, is n''t it?
6338	And look here,Will went on,"do you see these threads hanging to the teeth of the saw?
6338	And where did he go?
6338	And which level is this?
6338	And you geezled them all?
6338	And you searched them for the money and did n''t find it?
6338	Are there really robbers in there?
6338	Are we all working in the dark?
6338	Are you going to let the ginks flood the mine?
6338	Are you sure?
6338	Are you the boys who came on from Chicago?
6338	Are you thinking of going down the mine tonight?
6338	Aw, how are you going to find these boys if you do n''t go into the mine?
6338	But ghosts would n''t be giving signals of the Wolf Patrol, would they?
6338	But how about this detective?
6338	But how do you know there is such a boy?
6338	But what caused the partition to fall?
6338	But where did you say you came from?
6338	But why should two healthy, active boys want to seek such a hiding place?
6338	But you know, do n''t you?
6338	Can you climb?
6338	Can you crawl around there and see who it is,asked George,"or shall I go?
6338	Can you find it?
6338	Can you find your way back to headquarters alone?
6338	Can you find your way out of this dump, now?
6338	Can you imagine any reason for their wanting to linger about the mine?
6338	Can you see who it is?
6338	Can you tell me where Canfield, the caretaker of the mine may be found?
6338	Did Mr. Horton say anything to you about your lodgings while here?
6338	Did any one come down after us?
6338	Did he see you?
6338	Did n''t I say it was all right for a theory?
6338	Did n''t I tell you about that?
6338	Did n''t you hear that noise behind the cribbing?
6338	Did this attorney ever inform you why he wanted the boys found?
6338	Did you ever see any medals or badges on their clothing which told of Boy Scout experiences?
6338	Did you get it?
6338	Did you hear the call of the pack a minute ago? 6338 Did you meet the boys who stole our provisions?"
6338	Did you notice the suit he had on when he stood talking with us at the station?
6338	Did you see any one?
6338	Did you see his face? 6338 Disappeared?"
6338	Do n''t you know your Indian signs?
6338	Do we get the reward now?
6338	Do you boys know anything about mines?
6338	Do you know how many corners we''ve turned since we came in here?
6338	Do you know what those fellows did?
6338	Do you know who did this?
6338	Do you know, whether these breaker boys belonged to the Boy Scouts or not?
6338	Do you mean to say that there is some go- between the boys who may or may not be in the mine and some persons outside who are interested in them?
6338	Do you mean to tell me,screamed Carson,"that there are actually robbers here, and that they have taken possession of Tunnel Six?"
6338	Do you suppose Canfield is coming here in the middle of the night to turn on the power?
6338	Do you suppose they''ve got lost in the mine?
6338	Do you think he was drowned?
6338	Do you think it''s safe for us to try to navigate that shaft in the dark?
6338	Do you think it''s that bum detective?
6338	Do you think that is the gink who was prowling around our room?
6338	Do you think the boys are hiding in the mine?
6338	Does anyone ever go there now?
6338	Does he always go alone?
6338	Does he know where he left the money?
6338	Does he often get foolish in the head like that?
6338	Does the fall open into the system of chambers in the center or to the north? 6338 Dream, is it?"
6338	Foxy game, eh?
6338	Ghosts?
6338	Had any strangers been seen talking with them?
6338	Has any one passed up the shaft?
6338	Has he now recovered from the injury he received that night?
6338	Has that fellow got into the mine again? 6338 Has this man Ventner visited the mine often?"
6338	Have n''t you forgotten something?
6338	Have n''t you got a boat?
6338	Have we been traveling all this time to come out in this same old hole at last?
6338	Have we got plenty of eatings?
6338	Have you figured out how we''re going to get into the mine?
6338	Have you got it in camp with you?
6338	He did n''t go up in a pillar of fire, did he?
6338	He did speak of strange noises and mysterious lights, did n''t he?
6338	He sawed the rungs in the shaft, did n''t he? 6338 He''s using the phosphorus, all right, and I can begin to understand what he''s trying to say?
6338	His help?
6338	His help?
6338	How did it ever get loose?
6338	How did you pass the night, boys?
6338	How do you know it''s been moved?
6338	How do you know some one cut it?
6338	How do you know that?
6338	How do you know that?
6338	How do you know they did?
6338	How do you think one of these mammoth coal mines looks, any way?
6338	How long are these gangways?
6338	How long did this new boy stay here?
6338	How long since you''ve seen Jimmie Maynard and Dick Thompson?
6338	How long will it take to repair the pump?
6338	How many bites did you get?
6338	How much reward was offered for the return that two hundred thousand dollars?
6338	I hope you do n''t expect to pull these boys up through fifty or a hundred feet of shale?
6338	I presume he told you all about the case?
6338	I wonder how deep the shaft is?
6338	I wonder if he thinks he can find two boys in that heap of refuse?
6338	I wonder if the Labyrinth mine is so much of a labyrinth after all?
6338	I wonder what''s become of that bum detective?
6338	If I should light a match, would it set it on, fire?
6338	If it is n''t one of the boys, who is it?
6338	If they''re anywhere within hearing distance, they ought to answer us when we called out, had n''t they?
6338	In the face of my warning?
6338	In the meantime,Tommy continued,"do you think you could send one of the county officers out to round up this bum detective?"
6338	In this gangway?
6338	In what kind of trouble?
6338	Is Ventner one of them?
6338	Is he always doing that when you see him? 6338 Is he liberal with his money?"
6338	Is that a guess, or a piece of positive information?
6338	Is there any way by which the mine could be intentionally flooded?
6338	Is this Tunnel Six?
6338	Is this the gentleman who went batty and lost two hundred thousand dollars?
6338	It would be a nice thing to have him blow that money out of the pillar and get away with it, would n''t it?
6338	It would be something of a joke if we should butt into that detective now, would n''t it?
6338	It''s a sure thing, is n''t it?
6338	Lawyer Burlingame never took you into his confidence so far as to post you on the details of the case?
6338	Look here, Mr. Canfield,Will said,"how well do you know this mine?"
6338	Look here, Will,Tommy said,"Are you sure we made a good search of those three ginks?
6338	Looking for the money in the darkness?
6338	Loose?
6338	Making too much noise in order to attract the attention of a couple of lost youngsters?
6338	Me for the elevator?
6338	Not a thing about it?
6338	Now what do you think of that for a fool?
6338	Now who''s in that other boat?
6338	Now, what is it?
6338	Oh, well, of course the kids would want to test us, would n''t they, seeing that we were only boys?
6338	Oh, you''re there, are you?
6338	Rats do n''t make sounds like people whispering, do they? 6338 Right about here, or further on?"
6338	So he caused the mine to be flooded, did he?
6338	So he got in here at last, did he?
6338	So he knows where the money is?
6338	So he''s in the mine again, is he?
6338	So it was n''t hidden back there in that cross cutting at all?
6338	So that''s what you came down here after, is n''t it?
6338	So the money is there?
6338	So you do n''t know who wants these boys, or what they''re wanted for?
6338	So you found them, did you?
6338	So you saw him doing it, did you?
6338	Something exciting?
6338	Suppose I slip back there and see what he''s doing?
6338	Suppose it should be Jimmie Maynard and Dick Thomson?
6338	Suppose that fellow did get the money?
6338	That was a blue serge suit, was n''t it?
6338	The boys did n''t go up in the air, did they?
6338	Then this detective has no right here at all?
6338	Then where is it?
6338	Then why did he send us?
6338	Then why do n''t you tell?
6338	Then why does n''t he tell what he did with the money?
6338	Then why not fire him?
6338	Then you think they are not here?
6338	There is no reason why they should be here, is there?
6338	They have n''t got wings, have they?
6338	Under water?
6338	Was he in his right mind?
6338	Was the money hidden on this level?
6338	We can stick to the ladders, ca n''t we?
6338	We''re looking for Carson''s money?
6338	We''ve got him blocked in, have n''t we?
6338	Well, are you going down?
6338	Well, how''re you going to get out?
6338	Well, is n''t that water out there running?
6338	Well, we had to wait until Elmer reported kind of fellows you were, did n''t we?
6338	Well, what are we going to do?
6338	Well, what do you know about that?
6338	Well, what is it we''ve got to look for now?
6338	Well, what''ll we do now to get out?
6338	Well, why do n''t we go down and see about it?
6338	Well, you did n''t starve, did you?
6338	Were these three boys together much after that?
6338	Were you boys out there a few moments ago?
6338	What Patrol did they belong to?
6338	What are those boys in the mine for? 6338 What are we going to do all the afternoon?"
6338	What are you doing here?
6338	What are you doing that for?
6338	What are you fellows trying to do down there?
6338	What are you going to do?
6338	What are you looking for?
6338	What can we do now?
6338	What did Mr. Canfield call those two boys we are looking after?
6338	What did you do?
6338	What did you find in the mine?
6338	What do you make of it?
6338	What do you mean by leaving us in this plight?
6338	What do you mean by some one cutting your string?
6338	What do you mean by that?
6338	What do you mean by that?
6338	What do you mean by trick?
6338	What does it look like, and does it always smell like this?
6338	What have you done with the highwaymen?
6338	What is the next move you are thinking of making?
6338	What part of the mine is he in?
6338	What part of the world is he searching?
6338	What time was this?
6338	What was he doing here?
6338	What was he doing to you?
6338	What was he doing when you saw him?
6338	What would he be doing there?
6338	What would he be sneaking around here in the night for, if he was n''t engaged in some underhand game? 6338 What''d you say about other boys being hungry?"
6338	What''s a blower?
6338	What''s coming off here?
6338	What''s doing now?
6338	What''s he butting in here for?
6338	What''s he doing it for?
6338	What''s that for?
6338	What''s that got to do with this mine mystery?
6338	What''s the matter with passing the ham and eggs around?
6338	What''s the matter?
6338	What''s the meaning of this show of firearms?
6338	What''s the trouble?
6338	When do you want your first load of provisions?
6338	Where are the others?
6338	Where are these boys?
6338	Where are they now?
6338	Where did he go?
6338	Where did he go?
6338	Where did that fat man come from?
6338	Where did these boys lodge?
6338	Where did they come from when they came here?
6338	Where did you leave, Tommy and Dick?
6338	Where do these boys belong?
6338	Where does all this gas come from?
6338	Where is the money?
6338	Where is this town?
6338	Where was the use of his sending us down here and making monkeys of us? 6338 Where''d that bum detective go?"
6338	Where''d you come from?
6338	Where''s Elmer?
6338	Where''s Tommy and George?
6338	Where''s the fifth boy?
6338	Who did it?
6338	Who fired that shot?
6338	Who is it?
6338	Who said anything about going down the ladders tonight?
6338	Who sent you here?
6338	Who''s looking for these boys?
6338	Who''s that talking?
6338	Why continue this senseless talk about highwaymen?
6338	Why did n''t we geezle him?
6338	Why did n''t you say so before?
6338	Why did n''t you stay here and watch, then?
6338	Why did n''t you tell me there were wild animals in the mine?
6338	Why did they shoot you?
6338	Why did you go off and leave the camp all alone? 6338 Why do n''t we go and see where he went?"
6338	Why do n''t you come out and show yourselves?
6338	Why do n''t you go on and tell the story? 6338 Why do n''t you lower the cage?"
6338	Why do n''t you stay and see the fun? 6338 Why do you ask?"
6338	Why do you say that?
6338	Why do you think we will wish you had remained in case you are sent out of the mine?
6338	Why on this level?
6338	Why were you sleeping in an empty?
6338	Why, that''s where I put my--"That''s where you put your money, is it?
6338	Why, we''re on the bottom, ai n''t we?
6338	Why, you do n''t think that he had anything to do with the trouble at the mine, do you?
6338	Yes, but what''s he looking for?
6338	You do n''t seem to take to this detective?
6338	You do n''t think he had any directions from anyone, do you?
6338	You do n''t think he knows, where to look for the money any more than you do?
6338	You found it empty?
6338	You going back after than bum detective tonight?
6338	You know, then, do you?
6338	You mean that you want him watched?
6338	You never believed in the ghost stories told about Tunnel Six?
6338	You remember the shot we heard?
6338	You''re not going to venture into the lower level again, are you?
6338	You''re not steering us up against a haunted mine, are you?
6338	You''re the original little mystery boy, ai n''t you?
6338	Almost unable to believe his ears, Will turned to George with a question on his lips:"Did you hear that?"
6338	Are you sure the boys will come if you ask them to?"
6338	As the boys looked down into the shaft, Tommy seized his chum by the arm and whispered:"Did you see that light down there?"
6338	Besides, where would they get their provisions?"
6338	Buck?"
6338	CHAPTER III WHO CUT THE STRING"Do you suppose he would understand the call of the Beaver Patrol?"
6338	CHAPTER IX WHO DISCOVERED THE LEAK?
6338	CHAPTER V THE FLOODED MINE"What makes you think it''s Ventner?"
6338	CHAPTER X THE BOY IN THE"EMPTY""Did n''t I tell you,"whispered Will,"that he is there with a product of his imagination?
6338	Did you?"
6338	Do n''t you see what it means?"
6338	Do you mean to say,"he added turning to Tommy,"that you bumped into this kid while returning to the mine from the tracks?"
6338	Do you see the color?"
6338	Do you think we''re going to walk six miles in from the country in order to dodge the detective, and then let him run across us in the mine?"
6338	Does he know you''re here?"
6338	Have you matches with you?"
6338	He''s a nervy old follow, is n''t he?"
6338	I guess this Boy Scout training is pretty poor, ai n''t it, eh?
6338	I guess you boys can work together without scrapping, ca n''t you?"
6338	I wonder if he really has fired the fuse?"
6338	In a moment he asked:"Was he cutting into one of the pillars?"
6338	In the first place, who knows that we are here on this job?"
6338	Is it possible to enter any of the benches or chambers connecting with the north gangway on the lower level by means of this deserted shaft?"
6338	Is it very far back?"
6338	Is that anywhere near right, Elmer?"
6338	Is that anywhere near right?"
6338	It was blue, was n''t it?"
6338	Now, how could he have known anything about where to look for that money?"
6338	Now, what sort of a suit did the detective wear this morning?
6338	That room ca n''t be wet yet, can it?"
6338	That''s perfectly clear, is n''t it?
6338	That''s reasonable, is n''t?"
6338	The system works fine, does n''t it?"
6338	There was no reply whatever, and in a moment the caretaker called again, this time rather peremptorily:"What are you prowling about the yard for?"
6338	Want to hear about it?"
6338	We do n''t know how many men were in the mine with Ventner?"
6338	What did you say about the pumps stopping, Canfield?"
6338	What do they want there?
6338	What do you know about that?"
6338	What gets me is how are we going to find our way back?
6338	What''s your name anyhow?"
6338	Who discovered the break in the dividing wall?"
6338	Why did n''t they answer our Boy Scout challenge when we replied to their call of the pack?"
6338	Why do n''t some one go up and get Canfield, and why is n''t that young rowdy thrown out of the mine?
6338	Will asked,"that the boys we are in search of are in the mine?
6338	You remember about my seeing some one sneaking in here just ahead of us, do n''t you?"
6338	asked Sandy, as the boys cleared away the heaps of slate,"what then?"
6338	exclaimed George, taking the depth of the water with an oar,"if the water is four feet deep here, how deep must it be at the middle of the dip?"
6338	shouted Carson, starting forward with his stomach out and his fat shoulders thrown back,"what''s all this conversation about?
45667	About what?
45667	After all, who cares?
45667	Air ye what we hears called scouts?
45667	Allan, suppose we look to see which way he went off, because it could n''t have been along the same line as his advance?
45667	And Giraffe, if a hog this time, what next will we run across? 45667 And did he?"
45667	And in case we run across George and his pal we''re to give a yell; is that the game, Thad?
45667	And what do you want me to do?
45667	And you''d think they''d had sufficient time to reach the upper end of the island, too?
45667	Any wings to it, Thad?
45667	Anything been taken, Giraffe?
45667	Anything?
45667	As how, Giraffe?
45667	As t- to that bank, how''d I k- k- know it was goin''to c- c- cave in on me, t- t- tell me that, will y- y- you?
45667	But about the boat, Giraffe?
45667	But could he stand it all that time?
45667	But could n''t we tie her up somehow to one of those trees, you know?
45667	But have you seen anything of George?
45667	But he''s on the island, is n''t he?
45667	But the dog-- what d''ye reckon they could have done to him?
45667	But what about the wind, Thad?
45667	But what if we have to stay out here a long time?
45667	But what''d an old grunter be doing out here, tell me, Giraffe?
45667	But whereabouts, Thad; did n''t we cover the ground, every foot of it, while we came down here?
45667	But would n''t it be the proper caper for them to warn us before they show up?
45667	But, Thad, I ought to know a shout given by human lungs, had n''t I?
45667	But, Thad, just think how he must have suffered all the while we rocked in the cradle of the deep like we did?
45667	But, Thad, the leaves ai n''t on the trees yet, so how could he hide from us? 45667 But-- there was a rope, seems to me?"
45667	Can hogs swim, Giraffe, do you happen to know?
45667	Can we do anything, Thad?
45667	Could you make out what was said?
45667	Covering the ground, you mean, only this time we''ll look into every tree in the bargain; that''s the programme, is it, Thad?
45667	Did n''t you hear him grunt as he ran away?
45667	Do we go back to the camp now?
45667	Do we want to trot him along with us?
45667	Do you mean to tell us that you have been robbed, sir?
45667	Do you reckon they''ve got any sort of gun along, Thad?
45667	Do you think it''s going to clear up?
45667	Do you think that thick rope broke under the strain, Thad?
45667	Do you think there''s anything in that, Thad, or can it be land?
45667	Do you think you would know either or both of them again if you happened to set eyes on them, sir?
45667	Do you want to do an errand for me, Giraffe?
45667	Everything seems all right around here, does n''t it?
45667	Examine the shanty boat better, do you mean, Thad?
45667	Expect I''m up in the hog lingo just because I did say I always wanted to understand crow talk? 45667 Giraffe, will you do me a favor?"
45667	Grunt? 45667 Has she gone, Giraffe?"
45667	He did n''t pull any gun on the farmer, when Mr. Bailey caught him robbing his desk, you remember, Thad?
45667	He was here with you, how long ago?
45667	How about it, Thad; falling, I hope?
45667	How about making a shelter?
45667	How about that, Smithy; what happened to him?
45667	How about the rest; what will they be doing?
45667	How about the stuff aboard the old boat-- had we ought to commandeer that?
45667	How about this fellow?
45667	How d''ye mean?
45667	How did the grits go, Bob?
45667	How do we know that this place we''ve been calling an island is n''t connected with the mainland?
45667	How do you make that out, Giraffe?
45667	How does it, Davy?
45667	How long ago might that have been?
45667	How long do you suppose now we can keep sailing like this?
45667	I been asleep nearly all the time since, so how could I tell?
45667	I do n''t suppose you stopped to take a look, and see if there were any tracks around?
45667	I noticed that you dropped that bar in place, Thad, after you''d shut the door; what was the idea of doing that?
45667	I reckon, suh, you mean that we''re bound to lose the object of our chase?
45667	I should remark it did,added Giraffe;"and who can say what lies ahead of us yet?
45667	I suppose the two men did n''t wait to see what happened after they had knocked the lamp over, and the flames shot up?
45667	I wonder if there''s any game over here to help out, if we have to stay a long time?
45667	I wonder what''s up now?
45667	I wonder, now?
45667	I''m wondering what would have happened if you''d thought about the hold under the cabin before we ever quitted our old craft?
45667	If there''s a trail why ca n''t we start in, and track the two hoboes down?
45667	Is that so, Thad?
45667	Is that so?
45667	Is there a push pole on board so some of us might start the old tub back to the bank again?
45667	Is there any comparison between hogs and goats when it comes to making a good dinner?
45667	It''s easy to understand that the hobo''s on the island, but how in the wide world could he get here without wings? 45667 Just look at that squall coming across, would you?"
45667	Listen to him, will you?
45667	Listen to the crows cawing, will you?
45667	Looks pretty ugly, does n''t it?
45667	Looks ugly, does n''t it, with the wind flaws rushing over the water every little way, and making a dark streak with each squall? 45667 Mebbe he crossed over to the island when the water was low?"
45667	My partner?
45667	No going behind the returns, is there, boys?
45667	No signs of''em so far, Giraffe?
45667	Nobody said you were, Smithy,admitted Giraffe;"but, Thad, how''d it do to stop near where that tree crashed down?"
45667	Nothing doing, Davy,came the scornful reply;"did n''t we see that the river ran past on both sides like a mill race?
45667	Now how do you make that out, Giraffe?
45667	Now what, Thad?
45667	Now, whatever are you thinking about, Smithy?
45667	Say, Thad, I hope now_ we_ did n''t have anything to do with that fire?
45667	Say, Thad, do n''t you remember what I told you last night, when the rest were making so much noise, and I was dead sure I heard a shout?
45667	Say, what if we do get there and never once sight George and his pal, Giraffe?
45667	Smithy, is there a piece of that rope handy?
45667	Still, Thad thought we ought to do it?
45667	Stop stretching out the agony, ca n''t you?
45667	Supposing they run across George and his companion, will they let us know of their good fortune?
45667	Thad, do you really mean that?
45667	Thad, what d''ye think, has she broken away from her moorings?
45667	Thad, you do n''t believe him, do you? 45667 That brings it a little closer home, Davy; any more reasons?"
45667	That is, the track of a broken shoe which has the sole held in place by a rag bound about it, hobo fashion?
45667	That makes two to handle instead of one, does n''t it?
45667	The whole day,Bumpus remarked disconsolately,"that means twelve long hours, do n''t it?
45667	Then how could they reach the lower end of the island?
45667	Then we may be able to get across to the mainland before a great while?
45667	Then what happened?
45667	Then you hurried back to bring us the news, did n''t you?
45667	They''re a noisy lot, ai n''t they?
45667	Think now we know we''ve got a thief for a neighbor we want him to steal our blankets next? 45667 This is n''t what it seemed cracked up to be, eh, Thad?"
45667	Too late for what?
45667	Toward the river, Thad?
45667	Tracks-- what of, the keel of the shanty boat?
45667	Want to see me, Davy?
45667	Was it the bark of a dog, the mewing of a cat, the bray of a donkey, or the neighing of a horse, Davy?
45667	We can have a little fun out of the thing by planning a complete surround, ca n''t we, Thad?
45667	We started on this hike with the idea of overtaking the tramp who was wearing the coat the judge''s wife gave away by mistake, did n''t we?
45667	We''re on, Thad; is that all?
45667	Well, I declare, what do you think of that for pure nerve?
45667	Well, I reckon we had a heap to do with extinguishing the same, anyhow,Giraffe told him;"but what do you mean, Davy?
45667	Well, he went on again pretty soon, did n''t he?
45667	Well, it might be they would,the other replied thoughtfully;"and come to think of it they''re somewhere down below us, ai n''t they?
45667	Well, stop and think for a minute, will you, what''s happened to us? 45667 Well, things are getting warmer right along, ai n''t they?"
45667	Well, was it there, Thad?
45667	Well, well, who''d expect to run up against a porker?
45667	Well, what are you grunting about, then, tell us?
45667	Well, what d''ye think of that, now?
45667	Well, what d''ye think of that, now?
45667	Well, what luck did you have, boys?
45667	Well, what next, I wonder?
45667	Well, what''s doing?
45667	Well, would n''t that give you a heart- ache, now?
45667	What ails that woman standing there and calling out, d''ye suppose?
45667	What at?
45667	What can we do, Thad?
45667	What d''ye mean by the worst, Thad?
45667	What do you make of it, Thad?
45667	What from?
45667	What happened to the boat; none of you thought to rescue that at the same time?
45667	What if he did take a notion to try and swim for it?
45667	What if they wo n''t surrender when we ask''em?
45667	What is it, Giraffe?
45667	What is it, Giraffe?
45667	What is it, Thad?
45667	What is it, Thad?
45667	What is it, Thad?
45667	What is it, the river at last?
45667	What makes you say so, Davy?
45667	What time is it, anyway?
45667	What was it, then, Giraffe, if not a bear? 45667 What was that moved then?"
45667	What''s he going to do?
45667	What''s that mean, Thad?
45667	What''s that you say?
45667	What''s that you say?
45667	What''s the answer?
45667	What''s the program, then, Thad?
45667	What''s wrong now, Bumpus; want a little help on account of that stiff leg?
45667	What,_ me_ back down for a little thing like that? 45667 When do we expect to go ashore, Thad, may I ask?"
45667	Where did you run across the trail?
45667	Where''s your partner?
45667	Wherever do you think they''ve gone, Giraffe?
45667	While you- all were talking there did you hear anything queer?
45667	Who be you boys, anyhow?
45667	Who cares?
45667	Why do you pick out that place in particular?
45667	Why, do n''t you see what this means to us, Davy? 45667 Why, we''re all here, ai n''t we, Thad, the whole patrol I mean?"
45667	Why, what ails you now, Giraffe?
45667	Yes, and about that time they glimpsed us coming along; is that the way you figure it out, Thad?
45667	Yes, but look closer, and see if you can recognize anything familiar about the marks?
45667	Yes, tell us what ails you, and why you''ve been running so fast?
45667	Yes, why do n''t you tell us to get what we came after, and fly the coop?
45667	Yes-- T- had, what is it?
45667	You mean all night long, Thad?
45667	You mean he''d do it, rather than risk coming out, and being gobbled up by the militia, is that it, Thad?
45667	You mean like the one that brought us here?
45667	You mean there is n''t enough of it, do n''t you, Allan?
45667	You mean we have n''t been walking that ten Thad allowed us?
45667	You mean you think you heard some one shouting, do you?
45667	You remember how we found supper cooking on the stove when we broke into that boat cabin, yet never a solitary soul around? 45667 You''ve got some game started, Giraffe; what is it?"
45667	A healthy lot of scouts we seem like, do n''t we?
45667	Ai n''t I glad we''re on solid ground right now?
45667	Always on guard, hey?
45667	And as you say, Giraffe, what good would just plain honey do a starving crowd?
45667	And, Thad, of course you notice that he was heading up country when he passed by here?"
45667	Bailey?"
45667	But Davy, can you see anything like a boat down below?"
45667	But Davy, do you think you could tell which direction the shout seemed to come from?"
45667	But do n''t you think she''s still rising, Thad?"
45667	But what are you thinking about, Thad, to look so serious?"
45667	But whatever d''ye imagine ails Davy now?
45667	But, Thad, he''s beginning to shiver in this air; do n''t you think we ought to get him over to the fire?"
45667	But, Thad, what are we going to do about this same thing?
45667	But, Thad, where d''ye reckon his pal has disappeared to, that he ai n''t around here?
45667	Ca n''t we take up the trail, and try to get our stuff back?
45667	Did it drop half a foot or more during the time we snoozed?"
45667	Did you catch any suspicious sound, Davy?"
45667	Did you ever know a hobo who would willingly take a bath?
45667	Do n''t you know the battle is n''t always to the swift or the strong?
45667	Do you mean he got behind a big limb, and lay there like a squirrel?"
45667	Do you really think that''s what''s going to happen to us here, Giraffe; and is it a funeral dirge you want me to start?"
45667	Do you think it''s come to a stand yet?"
45667	Do you understand that?"
45667	Get a move on you, Bumpus, do you hear?"
45667	Giraffe went on to remark;"what kind of a boat would you say it was, now?"
45667	Giraffe, back me up, will you?
45667	Give that bunch of bushes another whack with your club while you''re about it, will you?
45667	Have either of you seen a man wearing a blue coat like that?"
45667	Have you forgotten all about the race between the hare and the tortoise; and did n''t the old slow- moving chap come in ahead, after all?
45667	He might be excused, but what would happen to you, tell me that?"
45667	He''s got enough to carry as it is, see?"
45667	How about it, Thad?"
45667	How do we know but what he was trying to cross over, and the current swept him down stream?
45667	How much further d''ye think the island runs?"
45667	How were we to guess that the man we came after would drop in here and rob the farmer?
45667	How''s that come, Thad?
45667	How''s that, Bumpus; are you game to show us, or have I dared you to a standstill?"
45667	However could that be?"
45667	I started in to tell you how I found out she was gone from that point where we left her a while back, did n''t I?
45667	I''m a prisoner o''war, an''ye would n''t be so mean''s as ter pepper a harmless man, I hopes, Boy?"
45667	I''m surprised at you, Davy; why do n''t you grin and bear it like I do?
45667	If it wa''n''t so cold we''d take''em off right now, and go bare- footed, would n''t we, Jake?"
45667	If there''s enough left, give a turn around his ankles, will you, please?
45667	Is this an old island we''ve bumped against?"
45667	Let''s hear it, wo n''t you?"
45667	Look at all the water going past, would you, Thad?
45667	Look over there, what do you call that?"
45667	Never letting a single thing worth while slipping through our fingers?
45667	No need of saying anything to the rest, is there?"
45667	Now, I''d look nice doing that, would n''t I?
45667	Now, do you see, Smithy?"
45667	Now, if there''s somebody out here besides us, who could it be?"
45667	Only for that what would you have done, Smithy?"
45667	P''raps there might be chickens, and cows, and all sorts of things close by?
45667	Perish the thought; the boys of the Silver Fox Patrol never were quitters, were they?"
45667	Plenty of room for our purpose, is n''t there, boys?"
45667	Put a pin in that to remember it, will you?"
45667	Said he fixed''em fur customers what did n''t ever come back to pay the charges; did n''t we, Smikes?"
45667	Scout Master?"
45667	Step Hen; any more objections?"
45667	Still, it''s queer how many things we keep finding on this same island, is n''t it?"
45667	Tell us how you know all that, wo n''t you, Davy Jones?"
45667	Thad, what does this mean?"
45667	Thad, what shall we do?"
45667	The question is, ought we to arrest the hoboes on account of what they did up at Bailey''s farm?"
45667	There, did n''t you hear her yell to Johnny to come back at once?
45667	Tramp?"
45667	Want Thad to drop in here, and find you sound asleep on your post, do you?
45667	Want to know what makes me think so?
45667	We belong to the Little Sunshine Club, do n''t we, boys?"
45667	We know better than that, do n''t we?"
45667	Well, it would n''t do that if the way was blocked by a strip of land, would it?
45667	Well, put things together, and what do you get?
45667	What ails you, Step Hen?"
45667	What do the rest of you say to that?"
45667	What if we do here on our island?"
45667	What more could a fellow from Dixieland want more than hog and hominy?"
45667	Whatever do you want me to do, Davy?"
45667	Where did he go, and when?"
45667	Where is George?"
45667	Who''d blame anybody for throwing up the sponge rather''n be mashed flat by such a hippo?"
45667	Why do n''t they call us over, and let us in?
45667	Why do n''t you sit down all the time, and save yourself the trouble of falling so much?
45667	Why, ca n''t you feel the dampness in the air?"
45667	Why, on one occasion he had plunged into a burning woods, and performed prodigies of valor; what was an ice- water bath to him but a little episode?
45667	Why-- whatever am I thinkin''about, to be sure?
45667	Would they scold that way if they just happened to see a pair of hoboes eating breakfast, d''ye think?"
45667	You wonder why I say that, do you?
45667	added Davy Jones;"look at the other side coming up, would you?"
45667	but who''s going to be left behind?"
45667	chuckled Step Hen;"is n''t he just the fierce Cossack, though?
45667	cried Giraffe, apparently taken aback by the suggestion;"we kept our noses turned to the ground so much none of us ever bothered looking up, did we?"
45667	do you mean for extra grub supplies, or something else, Thad?"
45667	do you really think she_ may_ take a sudden notion to start out again on another cruise?"
45667	do you really think there''s a chance of that happening to us, Davy?"
45667	gasped Giraffe,"now, what d''ye think of that?
45667	hold on here, what''s this I see ahead of us, boys?
45667	how d''ye think I''d know?"
45667	is that so?
45667	is there really such a place?
45667	just feel the old boat jumping, would you?"
45667	just look at the way Giraffe throws his hands up, will you?
45667	me carry a stove on shore when I know a dozen ways to cook on a regular camp fire?"
45667	remarked Davy;"whatever d''ye s''pose ails that bunch of crows, Giraffe?
45667	roared Giraffe, pushing alongside;"trees, is it, and us out in the middle of the flooded Susquehanna?
45667	said Giraffe;"but who cares for expenses?
45667	so I''m a shark, am I?"
45667	the splash of the water would have washed all those out easy, so what was the use?
45667	there, what''s up?"
45667	was that a_ hog_?"
45667	well, I did n''t say I_ believed_ I''d die by poison, did I?"
45667	well,"Bumpus told himself,"what''s the use bothering the poor tenderfoot?
45667	what would we care, so long as we''re heavily armed, and eight of us all told, when poor old Crusoe was alone?
45667	why do n''t you shoot it, Giraffe?"
45667	you do n''t want the old cracked stove, I hope?"
45667	you mean him, does you?"
9948	A good plan, Paul,said the other scout;"but do you think he''ll make friends with us, even when we find him?"
9948	A heap of difference between plain tramps, and the kind they call yeggs; is n''t there, Paul?
9948	A pair of shining eyes, eh? 9948 About the dynamite, to blast an opening big enough for our boats to get through?
9948	And as the stern is under water, Jack, what''s the matter with backing when we start to pulling?
9948	And could it?
9948	And how long will the watches be?
9948	And in this sink we''ll be protected from any wind coming from the south, do n''t you think, Paul?
9948	And is she going up yet?
9948	And look at that flash of lightning, would you?
9948	And look how close together they seem to be, would you; a pretty narrow bed for a wagon, do n''t it seem?
9948	And this old island''s already got a bad name; has n''t it?
9948	And we do n''t hear anything more; do we?
9948	And what have you got to do about it?
9948	And where did_ you_ find it, Dan?
9948	Are n''t we going to keep any watch, Paul?
9948	Are you ready to hear it?
9948	But I got her, Jack-- remember that; wo n''t you? 9948 But even if the water goes out with a rush, it ca n''t tear a tree like this one up by the roots; can it?"
9948	But it''s something else that makes you want to stay?
9948	But tell me,Bobolink asked,"what in the world would counterfeiters want with exploding mines, and doin''all that sort of thing?
9948	But that do n''t mean a feller just_ has_ to go along, does it?
9948	But we c''n do it before dark; ca n''t we, Paul?
9948	But what I said was pretty close to the truth; was n''t it, Paul?
9948	But what in the wide world gave you that queer notion?
9948	But what under the sun could they be carrying in that big box?
9948	But whatever do you reckon would bring four men up here to this lonely island, carrying some heavy object in a rowboat?
9948	But would n''t he be likely to follow the wagon when it took the boxes away in the morning?
9948	But you did n''t get it again; did you?
9948	Ca n''t you come over here? 9948 Can you make the mend, d''ye think; and just about how long is it going to take you?"
9948	Could n''t be that the State troops are out, and having manoeuvres, with a sham battle, could it?
9948	D''ye mean the wild man?
9948	Did I? 9948 Did any of you notice that there was a rude sort of table in the shack?"
9948	Did any one of you write this, or have you ever seen it before Dan brought it to Jud?
9948	Did he have a big yellow dog tied up at his shack?
9948	Did he? 9948 Did you ever hear it come down heavier than that?"
9948	Did you ever see a prettier sight?
9948	Did you find that, Bobolink?
9948	Did, eh? 9948 Do we go back now, Paul; or had we better keep on to the hill?"
9948	Do you mean about skipping out, Paul?
9948	Er, how about these?
9948	Going all the way over to the shore; are you?
9948	Got hurt some yourself; did you, Paul?
9948	Have any luck, Bobolink?
9948	Have you any idea who he can be, or where he came from?
9948	He just could n''t look you in the eye; could he? 9948 How about getting into communication with you while you''re gone?"
9948	How about that fellow who was hanging around my father''s mill that night you had your two big boxes stored there?
9948	How about that, Little Billie; did you see him?
9948	How about the other boat?
9948	How about the wild man?
9948	How did you like it up on the Radway?
9948	How do we know but what some of the men may just happen to butt in on us, while we''re looking their old forge over? 9948 How do we know what happened to him?"
9948	How is it?
9948	How many men were there in the crowd?
9948	How much water have you now?
9948	How''s that?
9948	How''s the cover; just as snug as you can make it, boys?
9948	I reckon now, Jack, that these three big boxes are the ones the professor wants watched?
9948	I suppose you think these motorboats can jump like broncos?
9948	I take it that means we might_ pretend_ to clear out, and come back under cover of the night, to make another camp; eh, Paul?
9948	Is n''t that some sort of shack you can see over yonder?
9948	Is that so?
9948	Is that what shooting stars are?
9948	It could n''t be one of the other sentries moving around, I suppose?
9948	It was pinned to one of the hams, was it?
9948	Jack, you must have had an idea, too?
9948	Just where did you see it, Bobolink?
9948	Let Mr. Wild Man come around; who cares?
9948	Let me be one, Paul; wo n''t you?
9948	Let me know if you see me doin''it; will you? 9948 Listen to him, would you, Jack, owning up that he''s a sure enough freak?
9948	Look at Jack''s bump, would you?
9948	Lucky we left our coats in camp; is n''t it?
9948	Made you think of a dog, did it, and not a cat?
9948	Me too; and say, was n''t it a terror, though?
9948	Me? 9948 Me?"
9948	Mebbe he smelled you here, and wanted to make up again?
9948	N- n- now, what d''ye s- s- suppose has happened at c- c- camp since we q- q- quit?
9948	Nice prospect, ai n''t it, not to be able to step out of the tent of nights, without bumping noses with that awful Man Friday in wild animal shows? 9948 Now you''re meaning the wild man, I take it?"
9948	Of course, we must have sentries posted to keep watch?
9948	Oh, that''s it, eh? 9948 One good pull deserves another; eh, fellows?"
9948	Only, you do n''t know what''s in those boxes, and you''d give a cookie to find out?
9948	Perhaps it''s already too late to save him from getting stuck with a lot of the stuff they manufacture?
9948	Picking up?
9948	Say, I wonder, now, if we could see anything of those fellows from up here?
9948	Say, Paul, do n''t you think it''d be about right to leave that little flashlight with me, in case the dog comes around again?
9948	Say, d''ye suppose your dad knows?
9948	Say, then, it was n''t just a big yarn about that wild man, after all; was it?
9948	Say, they are not warm, now, are they?
9948	Say, what does the guy mean?
9948	Searching for him, Paul?
9948	See here, Nuthin,he said, sternly;"you know that was a dog, as well as I do; have you ever seen him before?
9948	See there,Spider had declared,"ca n''t I keep awake when duty calls me?
9948	Still, we go on?
9948	Tell me about that, will you?
9948	Tell us what that is, then?
9948	That does n''t sound much like you wanted to make a change of base, Bobolink?
9948	That means the forge has been used since the storm that helped us get through that muddy canal of Jackson''s Creek; is that what you mean, Paul?
9948	That''s right,declared Tom Betts, eagerly;"say, did n''t we have the time of our lives, though?"
9948	That''s right,said Tom Betts, suddenly;"who are these men, anyway?
9948	The outlet is n''t far away from here; is it?
9948	Then it wo n''t hurt to let it go till tomorrow, eh, Paul?
9948	Then what''d you say they were?
9948	Then what''s the use going to sleep at all, at all?
9948	Things seem to be picking up at a pretty lively clip for us; eh, fellows?
9948	Think they''ll be apt to come from that direction, do you?
9948	Think we''ll get through safely?
9948	Two yellow eyes, and say, were n''t they just awful, though? 9948 Want to take a squint at his tracks; eh, Paul?"
9948	Watch for what?
9948	We are n''t going to get caught,said Bobolink;"who''s afraid?
9948	Well, supposing we did get through, how far up the Radway would we push?
9948	Well, that was quick work now, was n''t it?
9948	Well, we''ll remember that; wo n''t we, fellows?
9948	Well, we''ve had some experience in the past with hoboes; think they could be a batch of Weary Willies, Paul?
9948	Well, what ails you?
9948	Well, what d''ye think of the nerve of that?
9948	Well, who''s next?
9948	What ails you, and how did you get here?
9948	What ails you?
9948	What are meteors made up of-- they drop from stars; do n''t they?
9948	What are you meaning to do, Paul; give us a pull back?
9948	What busted?
9948	What d''y''e suppose is in those marshes?
9948	What d''ye think of that, now?
9948	What did you see?
9948	What difference does it make to us that some other fellows chance to be camping on the same island? 9948 What do you know about this so- called professor?"
9948	What if they ca n''t fix the motor up?
9948	What is it; did you see anything?
9948	What is it?
9948	What makes you say that, Paul?
9948	What makes you think that?
9948	What makes you think these men have their headquarters on the north end, rather than anywhere else?
9948	What time is it now?
9948	What you going to do, Paul?
9948	What''d we better do about it, Paul-- give a yell and jump up?
9948	What''d you think you heard, Paul?
9948	What''s all this mean about you going to the mill at this queer old hour?
9948	What''s doing, Commodore?
9948	What''s that over yonder?
9948	What''s that?
9948	What''s the good word, Jack?
9948	What''s the matter with Manchester? 9948 What''s the matter?"
9948	What''s the odds, so long as we get fairly comfortable for the night?
9948	What''s this, Paul?
9948	What?
9948	What?
9948	Whatever do you suppose they use such a machine for?
9948	Where did you get this, Jud?
9948	Where is he; got him tied up good and hard?
9948	Where is that?
9948	Where will we go?
9948	Where''d you see it?
9948	Where?
9948	Who hit me?
9948	Who''d ever think,remarked Jud,"that there was such a queer old place as this not more''n seven miles away from home?
9948	Who''s got a better right to go where we feel like?
9948	Why do you say that as if you felt sure?
9948	Why, what is there besides?
9948	Why? 9948 With those glaring yellow eyes?
9948	Wonder if he''ll come again to bother us?
9948	Wonder if this old thing sheds water?
9948	Yes, that''s who it is; and you''re Jack Stormways; are n''t you? 9948 Yes, what''s wrong?"
9948	You came straight in to wake me up, of course?
9948	You do n''t mean to say you think it might happen that way here?
9948	You do n''t seem to trust this creek as much as you might, Paul?
9948	You evidently have seen them before; tell me, Jack, are they the ones you said your father stored for that man?
9948	You heard the rustling then; did n''t you?
9948	You know what Mr. Jameson said you could do?
9948	You''re not goin''to try and follow him, I hope, Paul?
9948	Ai n''t it fierce, though?
9948	Ai n''t it queer how all these animals ever got across from the mainland to this island?
9948	All men have hobbies-- fishing, hunting, horse racing, golf-- why could n''t this chap take to flying for his fun?"
9948	All ready, now?"
9948	And how in Sam Hill are we expectin''to ride those motor- boats over that pile of rocks and mud, that lies in the outlet?
9948	And say, that must be the island over yonder; do n''t you think so, Paul?"
9948	And so you think these four men might belong to that crowd, do you, Bobolink?"
9948	And where do we find the guardian of the treasure?
9948	Anybody know the answer?
9948	Anybody know?"
9948	Are there people on this queer old Cedar Island?
9948	Are you awake?"
9948	But come to think of it, it was kind of out of the way in the shack of a wild man, eh?"
9948	But how about grub; we''re as hungry as bears?"
9948	But how would he guess we were here?"
9948	But listen to that scout trying to sound the recall, would you?
9948	But we could n''t use our wigwag flags, even if we tried, because who''d see''em?
9948	But what do you think of the idea, Jack?"
9948	But what silly chump''d be throwing good money around like that, tell me?"
9948	But what was it, Paul, a panther?"
9948	CHAPTER I THE MYSTERIOUS BOXES"What are you limping for, Bobolink?"
9948	CHAPTER VII STUCK FAST IN THE MUD"About three mile''s below Stanhope now; are n''t we, Paul?"
9948	CHAPTER XII WAS IT A BURSTING METEOR?
9948	CHAPTER XXV TIME TO GO BACK"What is it, Bobolink-- Jack?"
9948	CHAPTER XXVIII PREPARED FOR THE WORST"She''s just walking up hand over fist; eh, Paul?"
9948	CHAPTER XXXI A SCOUT''S DUTY"Seems like a dream; do n''t it, Paul?"
9948	Can some of you boys help lift me aboard?
9948	Coming, Paul?"
9948	Could they be struggling, as he was, to keep awake, one of the hardest things a boy can battle with?
9948	Did you ever know four tramps to do that?"
9948	Do n''t it beat the Dutch how things turn out?"
9948	Do n''t suppose you''ve heard anything new since I talked with you last about it?"
9948	Do you know him?"
9948	Get that?"
9948	Get your instructions, fellows?"
9948	Half a moon do n''t give a whole lot of light, now, does it; and especially when it''s a cloudy night in the bargain?"
9948	Hands off, see?"
9948	Hope you do n''t think any of those men are chasin''after us; or that we''ll run up against that wild man, or the big yellow dog again?"
9948	How about that, Paul; am I off my trolley when I say that?"
9948	How about that, Paul?"
9948	How d''ye suppose we''ll ever stand it?
9948	How''d the_ Speedwell_ make out?"
9948	I suppose you''d like the job, all right?"
9948	I think we''d do well to mind our own business in this affair; do n''t you, fellows?"
9948	I''ve heard of''em doin''bigger things than just blowing up a little island; have n''t you, Paul?"
9948	If there are, who can they be, and why should they hide from everybody like this?"
9948	Is he going to bob up on the road to the mill?"
9948	Is that all understood, fellows?"
9948	It''s little enough to pay for draggin''a lame scout all the way out here tonight; think so, Jack?"
9948	It''s not the nicest thing in the world to have your canvas blow away-- eh, Nuthin?"
9948	Jack?"
9948	Just remember what we went through with when we camped out up on Rattlesnake Mountain, will you?"
9948	Link?
9948	Look at William Carberry, will you?
9948	Look at her, would you, just beggin''us to run after, and try to capture her?"
9948	Look at that hollow over yonder, would you?
9948	Loosen up, Paul, and put us wise; wo n''t you?"
9948	Pretty shallow; ai n''t it, Jud?"
9948	Question is, how''re we goin''to get close enough to peek through a crack, and find out what''s goin''on in there?"
9948	Remember how they seemed to run up and down a regular track, and just went so far, when they gave out?
9948	Say, do they have panthers around here?
9948	Say, see here, d''ye happen to know where Ezra hauled''em?
9948	Should they make any sort of attempt that night to explore the island?
9948	Somebody do my guessin''for me; wo n''t you, please?"
9948	Sounds good, do n''t it, Dan?"
9948	Talk about your Robinson Crusoe making him a coat of an old nanny goat, that feller was in the same class; eh, Gusty?"
9948	They were loaned to us and if we let''em go to smash, would n''t it take us a long time to pay the bill, though?
9948	Think I was runnin''for my health?
9948	Though, of course, if a nice little present happens along afterwards, why, I guess there''s no law against a scout acceptin''it; eh, Paul?"
9948	Time up?"
9948	Was n''t that a drop I felt?"
9948	We know the lake''s gone down to about what it was before the storm hit us; but what if a great big rock blocks the passage?"
9948	Well, suppose we''d never come over this way, what d''ye think would have happened to him?
9948	Were all the men on this queer island stark, staring crazy?
9948	What Jack means is, will we be apt to get caught in the rain, and be soaked?"
9948	What could have happened?
9948	What could it all mean?
9948	What d''ye reckon he''s doin''over here on this island, Paul?"
9948	What d''ye think I am, the pretty new girl that''s come to town, and who danced with you at our class spread?
9948	What do they run that thing with wheels up and down here for?
9948	What do you say, fellows?"
9948	What had we better do, Paul?"
9948	What if there are four of them, are n''t eighteen husky scouts equal to such a crowd?
9948	What in the world d''ye suppose it means?
9948	What was that?
9948	What''re you lookin''at out there, Paul?"
9948	What''s a crazy man doing up here; and is he in the same bunch that made these tracks?"
9948	What''s bothering you now, my boy?"
9948	What''s the use of being scouts, if we let a little thing like this get the better of us?
9948	Wheel did n''t we sprint, though?
9948	When he ca n''t have what he wants, Bobolink is a hard loser; is n''t he, Paul?"
9948	When he got away from you did he have a rope around his neck, with six feet of it trailing on the ground?"
9948	When you moved, did you hear anything, Bobolink?"
9948	Where d''ye suppose he gets the roasted bean?
9948	Where was Jud, who had been in the company of the two?
9948	Whin do we shtart, Paul, darlint?"
9948	Who could tell but what the rope had parted under a strain?
9948	Who wants to rub up against a wild man?
9948	Why did it come that no one had guessed the true explanation before, when it was so easy?
9948	Why, how do we know but what it''s only a narrow strait there?"
9948	Wonder if he eats''em raw, Chinese fashion, or has some way of making a fire?"
9948	Would even this cause one of the four scouts to"take water,"as Bobolink called it, and make the sign that he had had enough?
9948	Would they resort to violence?
9948	You do n''t think it''s more''n half a mile; do you, Paul?"
9948	You remember I said the dog was dragging a piece of rope around with him, when he came creeping up near our camp last night?
9948	You remember a lot of trouble I had once, and how it turned out splendidly?
9948	You would n''t think a bunch of fellows could run up against such a lot of trouble over on such a fine little place as Cedar Island; would you, now?"
9948	You''ll let me tell about that, Paul, I hope, even if I must n''t say you mean to vote to come back?"
9948	ai n''t there j- j- just twenty- six of us s- s- scouts; and ought we b- b- be afraid of one l- l- little g- g- ghost, or even a w- w- wild man?"
9948	and are we going there to stand guard over the blooming old things?"
9948	burst out the impetuous Bobolink;"and they carried it between them, two and two; was it, Paul?"
9948	come off, will you?"
9948	d''ye mean to rush the beast, Paul, and try to knock him over with a charge of Number Sevens?"
9948	declared Jud Elderkin, with a look of disgust;"else how would they ever get around that big dam down at Seely''s Mills?
9948	did you ever see a more spooky place than this is, Paul?
9948	did you ever?"
9948	do you really think, then, he''d dare board these boats, knowing that they belong to two of the richest and most prominent citizens of Stanhope?"
9948	found something, have you?"
9948	he keeps right along doing it; do n''t he?"
9948	just listen to''em howl, would you?"
9948	something heavy, eh?"
9948	that was a heavy bang; was n''t it?
9948	that you, Paul?"
9948	was n''t that somebody trying to blow your bugle, Bobolink, that you left hung up in the tent?"
9948	what d''ye think of that, now?
9948	what was that?
9948	what''s the good of being a scout if you ca n''t do a comrade a little favor once in a while?"
9948	wonder if we will strike another rainy spell?"
9948	would ye be thinkin''that a lot of bog- trottin''counterfeiters''d be havin''a rale aeroplane?"
37485	''What in blazes be you goin''to do?'' 37485 A dance?
37485	Ai n''t it?
37485	Alice, if you call him Cookie, he''ll poison you, wo n''t you-- Joe?
37485	And did you shoot him after that?
37485	And now where is it?
37485	And pray when did you learn to ride?
37485	And spend the night in the cloud? 37485 And the height?"
37485	And where are we going?
37485	And where''s Joe?
37485	And you''ve eaten it all yourselves? 37485 Any chance to- morrow?"
37485	Any ice work?
37485	Are n''t you foolish?
37485	Are we going to have_ meat_, really, truly meat, for dinner, Cookie?
37485	Are you a good cook?
37485	Are you all right? 37485 Are you going to make him do it?"
37485	Are you really?
37485	Are you sure you are n''t hurt, Joe?
37485	Are you the cook?
37485	As a_ what_?
37485	Aw, no, but a feller splashes around washin''his face, and dumpin''the bowl into the slop basin, do n''t he?
37485	Boys, had enough slides for to- day? 37485 But I guess it would cost your mother more if you were laid up, would n''t it?
37485	But do n''t grizzlies have to fight to kill anything as big as a moose?
37485	But have you had any experience rock climbing?
37485	But how did it get the name?
37485	But it''s been so hard for mother----"It would be harder for her if you could n''t go to school at all-- ever, would n''t it?
37485	But ought he to do hard work?
37485	But the Ranger?
37485	But what I do n''t see,Joe said,"is why the top is n''t just level?
37485	But what do you think the old bear did? 37485 But what''s a pow- wow, and why''s it being held here?"
37485	But why do they eat such-- such dry stuff? 37485 By glory, do n''t you know what a bighorn is?"
37485	Ca n''t you see the marks of their hoofs? 37485 Can I help?"
37485	Can I help?
37485	Can you count change?
37485	Can you make a bed?
37485	Can you ride yet?
37485	Can you tell us why the Rocky Mountains have n''t any foot- hills?
37485	Can you tell us why there are n''t any foot- hills to this range?
37485	Can you throw a diamond hitch?
37485	Chimney work, or mostly shelf?
37485	Come make me some coffee, will you?
37485	Could n''t he have my tent, and sleep outdoors?
37485	Did n''t you have blankets enough?
37485	Did you really get one?
37485	Dizzy?
37485	Do Chinook winds come before spring?
37485	Do the goats use this chimney?
37485	Do you fellows really want to help old Joey?
37485	Do you mean to tell me the goats walk around on that?
37485	Do you mean to tell me we are going over that place?
37485	Do you sleep with a small brother?
37485	Do you sleep with your windows wide open at night?
37485	Do you think we can see one in the Park this summer?
37485	Does it?
37485	Dr. Meyer,Tom put in,"ought n''t Joe to go away somewhere to the mountains-- the Adirondacks, or Colorado, or-- or some place?"
37485	Either of you got your axe on?
37485	Forks, what for? 37485 Get a good show?"
37485	Getting sort of tired of life?
37485	Giving? 37485 Going to leave me here alone?"
37485	Good name for it, eh?
37485	Guess you ai n''t never been out here before, have you?
37485	Have you got lots and lots to eat? 37485 Have you hunted goats?"
37485	He''s fed up on glaciers, anyhow, ai n''t you, Val?
37485	Hi, Pete, what''s old Stabs- by- Mistake saying?
37485	Holy smoke, what did that?
37485	How about Cleveland?
37485	How are you going to manage it, Tom?
37485	How do you feel?
37485	How many shots did it take?
37485	How on earth did it get up here?
37485	How soon can he play?
37485	How''d I have''em? 37485 How''d you like this for a souvenir?"
37485	How''s that? 37485 Hurt?"
37485	I guess it''s my tent and I can do what I please with it, ca n''t I? 37485 I suppose you learned cooking as a scout, too, eh?"
37485	I wonder if she''ll buck when we throw a diamond hitch?
37485	I''m a regular cowboy now, eh, what? 37485 If a feller fell down there, and they did n''t get him up, and he froze into the ice, would he come out some time at the bottom of the glacier?"
37485	In the hammock?
37485	Is it a bear?
37485	Is it cold?
37485	Is it for a party?
37485	Is it that far, Mr. Mills-- now, honestly?
37485	Is it?
37485	Is that a threat or a promise?
37485	Is that all?
37485	Is that an Indian name? 37485 Is that really a goat?
37485	Is that what used to be all over the country, and was called a panther?
37485	Is the lake good to swim in?
37485	Is-- is there something the matter with me?
37485	Is-- is-- has old Joey got consumption?
37485	Is_ that_ what we''ve got to climb?
37485	It looks like a lake in Switzerland, does n''t it?
37485	Joe, can you have breakfast ready then?
37485	Kind o''mixed, is n''t it?
37485	Let the wild winds howl; what do we care for your old August blizzards?
37485	Matter? 37485 Mechanical toy, eh?"
37485	Mills, will you breakfast with us?
37485	Mills, will you take number one place for a way? 37485 Now you get the big idea, Bob, eh?"
37485	Now, where''s this Ranger? 37485 Oh, Dr. Kent, I-- I-- why, what''ll you do?"
37485	Oh, could n''t we get up it?
37485	Oh, do you?
37485	Only four? 37485 Ought n''t my stirrups to be shorter?"
37485	Promise for Bob, a threat for Mrs. Jones, I guess,said the Ranger, rising from the ground, and adding,"Who''s ready for bed?"
37485	Ready?
37485	Saves time, all right,the Ranger agreed,"but what''s to become of me?"
37485	Say, I''m patrol leader, ai n''t I?
37485	Say, Joe, let me get some of that heat, will you?
37485	Say, Joe, old scout, what ails you, anyhow?
37485	Say, Joe,he called,"great place for skis, eh?"
37485	Say, Mr. Mills,Joe heard Bob call,"has this horse of mine got strong ears?"
37485	Say, dad, what''s the matter with you?
37485	Say, have you been to see a doctor?
37485	Say, he does n''t leave much of you unexplored, does he?
37485	Say, he''s my best friend, is n''t he? 37485 Say, how old are you, anyhow?
37485	Say, is this August first or January first?
37485	Say, ma, how''d you like to be on your prancing steed right now, up on top of the Pass, still seven miles from blighty? 37485 Say, what do you take these sardines out with?"
37485	Say, what do you think I am, a millionaire?
37485	Say, what you giving us?
37485	Say, what''s the matter with you, Spider? 37485 Say,"he called up to the Ranger,"what happens to you if your horse falls off here?"
37485	Say,he finally asked,"are we going to_ climb_ that?"
37485	Say,it called,"what had we better do?"
37485	Scouts are supposed to be cheerful, are n''t they?
37485	Scouts never take tips, and that would be a tip, would n''t it, sir, really? 37485 See that house over on the one little island?
37485	See why we had the rope?
37485	So you are Seymour, eh?
37485	Some of us are going to come around every day and''tend to things, so old Joey can mind the doctor, are n''t we, fellows?
37485	Some pond, eh?
37485	Suppose this boy Tom here can do it?
37485	That''s normal, ai n''t it? 37485 The two big ones are silver tips?"
37485	The_ what_?
37485	These people got wood, and cots, and everything?
37485	Think I want to go down the hill again backwards?
37485	Think these horses are mules?
37485	Walk around?
37485	Want a job?
37485	Want to be lowered down?
37485	Want to climb up that cliff with your rope, Tom?
37485	Want to go out on the glacier?
37485	Want to pat one?
37485	Was Bob as gay as this last night?
37485	Well, Joe,Mills said,"they''re keeping you busy, eh?
37485	Well, what''s he goin''to say? 37485 Well, what''s your name now?"
37485	Well, who be you, and where''d you come from?
37485	Well,he said, as he made this second,"you mix''em all inside, do n''t you?
37485	Well,he said, finally,"going on?"
37485	Well,he said, turning to Joe,"how do you feel this morning?
37485	Well--_what_ are you doing?
37485	Wha''s''at?
37485	What Dr. Meyer-- not Julius Meyer?
37485	What a pretty name-- it must be Indian, of course?
37485	What are you planning to become? 37485 What did you kill him for, then?"
37485	What do you do, throw it around the room?
37485	What do you mean, spillin''water on the wall paper?
37485	What do you mean-- Big Ben?
37485	What do you weigh, Joe?
37485	What for?
37485	What good''ll that do? 37485 What have you done for him?"
37485	What if there should n''t be any caretaker at the hotel at the head of the lake?
37485	What is it, Pete?
37485	What kind of trees are these?
37485	What must he do, doctor?
37485	What on earth happened here?
37485	What you going to feed''em with?
37485	What''s a bighorn?
37485	What''s a deer yard?
37485	What''s a thunder- storm doing in December?
37485	What''s he talking about?
37485	What''s it, anyhow?
37485	What''s that mountain?
37485	What''s that?
37485	What''s the big idea?
37485	What''s the big idea?
37485	What''s the damage, Mr. Rogers? 37485 What''s the matter?"
37485	What''s the name of that heavenly little lake?
37485	What''s the trouble? 37485 What''s your name?"
37485	What''s your pay going to be?
37485	What_ are_ you looking at, mother?
37485	What_ do_ you mean? 37485 What_ really_ happened?"
37485	When you going to show us a bear?
37485	Where are the sheets and pillow- cases?
37485	Where are we bound to- day?
37485	Where are we going to- day?
37485	Where are you going to get the chestnuts?
37485	Where are you going, Val?
37485	Where do I come in, Joe?
37485	Where do you come from, anyhow? 37485 Where you going?"
37485	Where''d they go to?
37485	Where''d you learn all this?
37485	Where''s that fish?
37485	Where? 37485 Where?"
37485	Who is it?
37485	Who told you you had tuberculosis?
37485	Who was Hugh Monroe?
37485	Why Piegan-- and why a pass?
37485	Why did n''t you remind me of the forks?
37485	Why did n''t you''phone from Many Glacier?
37485	Why do n''t we make a toboggan?
37485	Why do n''t you christen it Congressman Peter W. Jones Falls? 37485 Why do n''t you get a job in the movies, you''re so graceful?"
37485	Why do n''t you go into vaudeville with that act?
37485	Why do n''t you take him over and weigh him this afternoon?
37485	Why not? 37485 Why not?"
37485	Why would n''t he be? 37485 Why?"
37485	Wire''s on the bum-- can''t you hurry and''phone?
37485	Wo n''t I hurt the horse?
37485	Wonder what''s happened since you left?
37485	Wonder why they are colored that way?
37485	Would n''t you kill a bear if it came for you?
37485	Yes, and what about me? 37485 Yes, and who''ll go with me?"
37485	Yes, what''s the matter with you?
37485	You are?
37485	You do n''t know of anybody, do you?
37485	You got him, eh?
37485	You look like a strong, capable boy, but have you had any experience with rock climbing?
37485	You mean I ca n''t play second next week, either?
37485	You mean to tell me you''ve come over Swift Current since last night, in that snow, and then through the Chinook?
37485	You mean two thousand, all cliff?
37485	You really feeling better, old Joey?
37485	You want a room with a bath, too?
37485	You''ll be cooking for me, wo n''t you? 37485 You-- you mean it?"
37485	You?
37485	_ He_ told you?
37485	_ You_ the man that came over Swift Current yesterday?
37485	''I know it, and you know it,''said the other fellow,''but does the dog know it?''"
37485	A dance?
37485	About your regular weight?"
37485	All right?
37485	Am I alone in the camp to- night?"
37485	And if you find any better way to earn Joe''s keep out there, where you wo n''t have to take tips to get your living, you take it, wo n''t you?"
37485	And we must teach all the scouts to stop sleeping with their windows shut, too, must n''t we?"
37485	And what good was a surveyor or an engineer or a forester who did not know his business?
37485	Are n''t they ever killed?
37485	Are you tired all the time like this?"
37485	As soon as the tents were pitched, and lunch was over, Mills said:"Well, who wants to go up to Blackfeet Glacier?"
37485	Besides, did n''t we come out here for you to get well?
37485	Besides, he had no time, for Mrs. Jones broke in:"Well, I''d like to know if you expect Mrs. Elkins and me to stay here all alone?"
37485	Besides, he wanted to go to college, did he not, or to a forestry school?
37485	But how was Joe going to get there, and how was he going to live when he got there?
37485	Can you cut wood?"
37485	Did Tom think you could know your business without studying?
37485	Did a bear come into your camp?
37485	Did he not know that there were examinations to be passed?
37485	Did n''t it, Joe?"
37485	Did you ever stand in Broadway below the Woolworth Tower, and look up?
37485	Did you keep still as I told you to?"
37485	Do n''t they ever miss?"
37485	Do n''t you want to see the Rocky Mountains?"
37485	Do you know it''s two o''clock?"
37485	Do you think I''m goin''to sleep with a grizzly bear''most under my bed?"
37485	Eh, wot?"
37485	Ever hear of Glacier National Park?"
37485	Feel of it, Joe-- ain''t it soft?"
37485	Finally Tom said,"Won''t-- won''t you have some breakfast?"
37485	Gee, what''s just sitting on the porch for a few weeks?
37485	Get it now?"
37485	Got a fever?"
37485	Has the tenderfoot patrol mutinied?"
37485	Have n''t you been to anybody else since, when you did n''t get better?"
37485	Have you a cook here?"
37485	He sprang to help them up, crying,"Are you hurt?"
37485	He''s a good cook, is n''t he?"
37485	How are you?
37485	How do you like giving instead of receiving?"
37485	How was it going to be managed?
37485	How wide do you reckon it was?"
37485	How''d you have the blankets?"
37485	How''ll you like that, Tom?"
37485	How''s a feller going to get a bed of coals?"
37485	I do n''t suppose you''d let me make you a little present, would you, to show how grateful we are?"
37485	I suppose, though, you''d like some grub first, would n''t you?"
37485	Is that on the level?"
37485	Is that too early, Mills?"
37485	It''s Indian, I suppose?"
37485	It''s a great forest, is n''t it?"
37485	Joe stopped coughing as soon as he could, and demanded,"Well, you do n''t think I keep the old thing around because I like it, do you?
37485	Joe''s a Boy Scout, are n''t you, Joe?"
37485	Live around here?"
37485	Matter?"
37485	Mills?"
37485	Mills?"
37485	Mr. Mills, would n''t we be back in time for Joe to get dinner, if he went?"
37485	Mrs. Jones cried, looking up the red precipices of Jackson to the snow- fields far above,"do you suppose there''ll be another one?"
37485	My goodness, how does he stick on?
37485	Not a very exciting day, you say?
37485	Now, would n''t you act so, if you was here for Uncle Sam?"
37485	One of the girls beckoned at Tom, as much as to say,"Shall we get him?"
37485	Pretty good monument, eh?"
37485	Remember, when we went to the White Mountains we got into smaller mountains long before we reached Washington?
37485	Ride a horse, either of you?"
37485	Rockefeller?"
37485	Rogers?"
37485	Say, Joe, why do you suppose that range goes right up out of the prairie without any foot- hills?
37485	Say, Joe,"Bob called,"if I get a fish early to- morrow, will you cook him for breakfast?"
37485	Say, Mr. Mills, how soon are you going to show us that bear?
37485	Say, doc, ca n''t you make''em just sick enough so they''ll have to stay?"
37485	Seen how they work?"
37485	Sick, were you, Mills?"
37485	The doctor gazed in silence for several minutes, and then he said,"Tom, how do you like it?"
37485	The real wilderness stuff, eh?"
37485	The two girls were standing near him, and when they saw him looking, they said,"Is n''t it lovely?"
37485	There were kisses and some tears from the women, and a scout cheer from the boys, and cries of"Have you got your axe, Spider?"
37485	Tired?
37485	Want to see''em dive?"
37485	Well, Mr. Mills, did I make good?"
37485	What are you studying to be?"
37485	What are you trying to do, commit suicide?"
37485	What do you take me for?"
37485	What do you think I hired this horse for?"
37485	What do you think about it?"
37485	What is it?"
37485	What time is it?"
37485	What''ll you take to throw her in the lake?"
37485	What''s a tepee camp?"
37485	What''s the matter with me going too?
37485	What''s the use of being in the House of Representatives if you ca n''t name a dinky little waterfall after yourself?"
37485	What''s your friend going to do?"
37485	Where are you going to bunk, Joe?"
37485	Where''d you get it?"
37485	Where''d you get the curry comb?
37485	Where''s Val?"
37485	Where''s the axe, Joe?"
37485	Where?"
37485	Why are there any peaks and valleys?"
37485	Why did n''t he wait till he had the whole bunch?"
37485	Why do n''t you pick a wild, windy, stormy day to go climbing Wilbur?
37485	Why not first?
37485	Wonder if Mr. Mills will come, or stick it out at the other yard?"
37485	Would you like an omelette for supper, Mr. Kent, with some chicken soup and fried potatoes and griddle cakes and coffee?"
37485	You all right?"
37485	You did n''t say that, did you?"
37485	You do n''t have panthers out East any more, do you?"
37485	You have n''t got a cold, have you?"
37485	You must write to me and tell me about it, wo n''t you?"
37485	and"Joe, dear, are you sure you put in your comb and brush?"
37485	here?"
12526	And did n''t find him?
12526	And do you believe, too, that he hired a burglar to go and steal the Little Brass God?
12526	And now about George?
12526	And this track, here?
12526	And why not?
12526	And you left George there in the cavern?
12526	And you left them there together, and when you returned they had disappeared? 12526 And you say that you have not been disturbed at all during your occupancy of the place?"
12526	And you was obeying that command when you started toward the window?
12526	Antoine?
12526	Are they good to eat?
12526	Are you going to answer my question?
12526	Are you sure the man you followed is the man who brought the toy?
12526	Are you sure you passed this way when you came to the cabin?
12526	Are you sure?
12526	Are you the man who was seen sitting half- asleep before a fire in a cavern three nights ago?
12526	Aw, how do you know anything about that?
12526	Aw, what good news would they have to communicate?
12526	Aw, what''s the matter with letting him stay here all night?
12526	Aw, what''s the use?
12526	But is n''t there an opening to this lower cavern?
12526	But suppose this man Sigsbee does n''t know anything about the will being in the belly of the Little Brass God?
12526	But was it a burglar-- a real, genuine burglar?
12526	But what is it about this Little Brass God?
12526	But what is puzzling me just now is this,the boy went on,"how are we going to get out of this hole with that Antoine watching our every move?
12526	But what was that gink prowling around the tent for?
12526	But where did they go?
12526	But who sent the fellow up here after the Little Brass God, anyway?
12526	But who?
12526	But why should he come right back here after being chased away?
12526	Ca n''t he get the property until he gets the will? 12526 Ca n''t we find a cavern to crawl into?"
12526	Can I?
12526	Can we build a fire in all this ruck?
12526	Can you beat it?
12526	Can you build a fire with one match up in a tree?
12526	Can you cook bear steak?
12526	Can you find your way back to the cabin?
12526	Can you open the tummy of the Little Brass God, Will?
12526	Can you read the signal?
12526	Can you see the bears now?
12526	Can you take us back to that cavern now?
12526	Can you tell us how to find the cavern?
12526	Could he describe the man who bought the Little Brass God?
12526	Did I see anything?
12526	Did he get your guns away from you?
12526	Did he go there just to burgle, or did he go there to get that will?
12526	Did he know he was stealing the will when he stole the Little Brass God?
12526	Did he shoot at you?
12526	Did he tell anyone where it was?
12526	Did it look complete and whole?
12526	Did n''t I tell you I could do it?
12526	Did n''t I?
12526	Did n''t we come away up here into this desolate land to get it ourselves?
12526	Did one of''em have his head in a sling?
12526	Did they find anything during their search?
12526	Did they get it?
12526	Did they get what?
12526	Did they say what they were searching for?
12526	Did you build these fires so we could cook supper?
12526	Did you find it deserted?
12526	Did you hear a noise?
12526	Did you hit any one?
12526	Did you run all the way up here from Clark street? 12526 Did you see any one loitering about the cottage when you were there?"
12526	Did you see him plainly?
12526	Did you see the man''s face?
12526	Did you think it was a load of hay?
12526	Did you think they''d put''em in cold storage and keep''em for next summer?
12526	Do n''t you know who it is?
12526	Do n''t you see?
12526	Do they think he went there and got the will himself?
12526	Do you believe Will will stay in camp until morning?
12526	Do you boys know exactly why we are in the Hudson Bay country?
12526	Do you know of any other trappers in this section?
12526	Do you know what that is?
12526	Do you mean the old Shylock who does business under the three balls down on State street? 12526 Do you mean,"asked Sandy,"that there''s some one chasing us up?"
12526	Do you really think it is a signal?
12526	Do you see anything?
12526	Do you suppose those crazy boys are still in the hills?
12526	Do you suppose,he whispered,"that these, fellows are here after the Little Brass God, too?"
12526	Do you think I brought''em up in the tree?
12526	Do you think he has any idea that the Little Brass God is in such great demand?
12526	Do you think he''s doing it out of curiosity, or because he has an inkling of what we''re up here after?
12526	Do you think one of those boys was your companion?
12526	Do you think they are hidden in there?
12526	Do you think this is the one we are after?
12526	Do you think we''re looking for a forty story skyscraper?
12526	Does n''t that look like the moon coming up?
12526	Does the moon rise in the south?
12526	Find any?
12526	Had the villain of the drama, this Howard Sigsbee, any knowledge concerning the hiding place of the will?
12526	Has he eaten something he ca n''t digest?
12526	Have you any idea which way to go?
12526	Have you been annoyed by people hanging about the cabin?
12526	Have you ever seen one like that before?
12526	Have you got a searchlight with you?
12526	Have you seen anything of our chum?
12526	He seemed perfectly willing to have you come?
12526	Hello, you''ve woke up, have you?
12526	Honest, now,asked Thede,"can you make a fire with one match in a green tree, in a high wind, on a dark night?"
12526	Honest?
12526	How are you going to throw one end of a rope up in the air and make it stay there?
12526	How did he do it?
12526	How did he ever get you in here?
12526	How did he ever get you in here?
12526	How did the Little Brass God ever get into the Hudson Bay country?
12526	How did you know there was a Brass God?
12526	How do I get in there?
12526	How do they know this French Canadian got this Little Brass God out of town?
12526	How do you know I did n''t?
12526	How do you know that''s Oje?
12526	How do you know that?
12526	How do you know that?
12526	How do you know that?
12526	How do you know they have n''t disappeared while you''ve been making signals?
12526	How do you know they have?
12526	How do you know we ca n''t?
12526	How do you know what they are?
12526	How do you know?
12526	How long are you going to remain here?
12526	How long do you think that blooming savage will keep this up?
12526	How long has Pierre lived in this cabin?
12526	How much is he worth?
12526	How would you like to wander around there year after year, as Oje does?
12526	How''d he know the will was there?
12526	How''d you get here?
12526	How''d you happen to know so much?
12526	How''d you know there was some one there?
12526	How''re we going to get to it?
12526	How''re you going to get them out?
12526	Hunting for what?
12526	I could n''t bring him with me,answered Thede, with a slow smile,"Where did you leave him?"
12526	I guess you boys came up here looking for the Little Brass God, too, did n''t you?
12526	I wonder if he knows about the people who came there that night? 12526 I wonder where that Indian went?"
12526	I wonder why we did n''t get our revolvers away from that dead man?
12526	If that is the real Little Brass God, how did it ever get here?
12526	Is it good and warm down there?
12526	Is that so?
12526	Is that the reason you followed him here?
12526	Is this boy you speak of your son?
12526	Is this the man who made the search of the house?
12526	Is this the third degree?
12526	It was n''t the firelight or anything like that?
12526	Left George?
12526	Like this?
12526	Looks like a fire, does n''t it?
12526	Meaning Antoine and the alleged Hindu?
12526	Not a new Boy Scout?
12526	Not that little monkey of a Thede Carson who''s always getting the Beaver Patrol into trouble?
12526	Now I wonder if you''re the same disreputable citizens that tried to make a free lunch counter of me last night?
12526	Now do you suppose Antoine beat us to it?
12526	Now what do you think of that?
12526	Now what would any one be doing in this wilderness?
12526	Now, about those moccasin tracks?
12526	Now, what do you suppose Antoine came here for?
12526	Now, what do you think of that for catching fish?
12526	Now, why should n''t they both send people up here in quest of the Little Brass God?
12526	Now,George asked,"why do they think the Little Brass God was brought into the Hudson Bay country?"
12526	Now,he went on,"I wonder why he''s so very much interested in these strangers, whoever they are?"
12526	Oh, you will?
12526	Old Finklebaum?
12526	Or how do we know that some big chump did n''t carry him away in his arms?
12526	Or, just for a change,Thede continued,"how''d you like an owl in your stew?
12526	Ought n''t we to let Will know where we are?
12526	Over where?
12526	Perhaps you''d like to go back to Chicago empty- handed?
12526	Shall we follow him?
12526	Shall we go down after them?
12526	So this is a stuffed god?
12526	So this is a trap, is it?
12526	So you really did find him?
12526	So you want to take George directly to the cabin, do you?
12526	So you''ve gone and got''em too, have you?
12526	Some one shoot at you?
12526	Suppose I go and see what''s doing?
12526	Sure not,was the reply,"we both saw it, did n''t we?"
12526	Sure the door''s closed?
12526	The Little Brass God?
12526	The little scamps?
12526	The question we want to ask ourselves now is this:Have we any chance of recovering the article we were sent after if we remain in this district?
12526	Then he is n''t one of those East India Little Brass Gods with his legs crossed, and his arms folded, and a grin on his face?
12526	Then why did n''t he come in?
12526	Then why do n''t you see whether this is the right one or not?
12526	Then why not make a trip to the range of hills right now?
12526	Then you see, do n''t you, that that proves that he knew all about it?
12526	Then, why should he keep it hidden away, even from you, three hundred miles away from civilization? 12526 Through this thick snow?
12526	Up in a tree in the darkness, on a windy night?
12526	Vot iss?
12526	Was he sitting up in the window with his legs crossed, and his arms folded, and his face making you think of the Old Nick?
12526	Was it Pierre who sat before the fire?
12526	Was n''t that a dream about your seeing the Little Brass God?
12526	We came north when we left the camp, did n''t we?
12526	We saw a large moccasin track there, and how do we know that some man did n''t walk behind George and step on all his tracks?
12526	We wo n''t have to go home tonight, now, will we?
12526	Well, how in the name of all the seven wonders of the world did you get into the Hudson Bay country?
12526	Well, they got the fish, did n''t they?
12526	Well, was the man who sat before the fire, the same man who gave you the drug?
12526	Well, we''ve got our canoes, have n''t we?
12526	Well, what are we going to do?
12526	Well, what do you make of this?
12526	Well, what''s this wobbly little mark here?
12526	Well, whoever told you anything about the Little Brass God?
12526	Well, why not?
12526	Were you in the cave that night?
12526	What I''d like to know,Will suggested,"is this: Why did he do it?
12526	What about the tea being drugged?
12526	What are we Boy Scouts good for if we ca n''t build a fire in a storm?
12526	What are you doing in this country?
12526	What are you doing that for?
12526	What are you going to do with the two Little Brass Gods and all the precious stones?
12526	What are you talking about?
12526	What could he do with a Little Brass God? 12526 What crossed there?"
12526	What did he have a-- a-- what did you say it was?--if he did n''t want to sell it?
12526	What did he say?
12526	What did he see back here that caused him to let out a yell like that?
12526	What did they see there?
12526	What did you do with the ones you were carrying?
12526	What did you mean about the moon rising in the south?
12526	What did you see out there?
12526	What did you see, Oje?
12526	What do they want him for?
12526	What do you know about that?
12526	What do you know about the Little Brass God?
12526	What do you know about the Little Brass God?
12526	What do you make of it?
12526	What do you make of it?
12526	What do you make of this gink prowling around our tent?
12526	What do you say about that?
12526	What do you think it means?
12526	What do you think of coming away up here in the Hudson Bay country and picking a member of the Beaver Patrol right out of the woods?
12526	What do you think of the people who live up in the Hudson Bay country all the year round?
12526	What do you think we brought you boys here for? 12526 What do you want?"
12526	What does any one want of a Little Brass God?
12526	What does the old idiot mean by that?
12526	What for?
12526	What have you found now?
12526	What kind of bears are they?
12526	What next?
12526	What time did you leave?
12526	What was he doing out at the burning tree?
12526	What was he doing?
12526	What was it you put in the tea you gave George?
12526	What was that noise?
12526	What would any one be sneaking around us for?
12526	What would he be doing up here? 12526 What would that French Canadian buy him for?"
12526	What''d you shoot at?
12526	What''s been doing here?
12526	What''s he doing it all for?
12526	What''s he going to do now?
12526	What''s it all about?
12526	What''s the Little Brass God?
12526	What''s the good of going through all those Boy Scout examinations, if a fellow ca n''t build a fire with one match? 12526 What''s the great news?"
12526	What''s the idea?
12526	What''s the matter with you fellows?
12526	What''s the use of shooting until I have to?
12526	What''s the use of standing there grunting and trying to make me understand nods and scowls?
12526	What''s your idea, then?
12526	When was the house of this Frederick Tupper burglarized?
12526	Where are the boys?
12526	Where are the fellows who busted up the furniture?
12526	Where are you headed for now?
12526	Where have they gone?
12526	Where your gun?
12526	Who are they?
12526	Who are you?
12526	Who brought it here?
12526	Who is your companion?
12526	Who made this hole in the tent?
12526	Who put this will in the tummy of this Little Brass God?
12526	Who sent you here?
12526	Who set your wrist?
12526	Who stole the Little Brass God, and also the will?
12526	Who told you that?
12526	Why did n''t he come with you?
12526	Why did n''t you call?
12526	Why did n''t you get the Little Brass God while the getting was good?
12526	Why did n''t you go and tell Finklebaum where he was, and let him do the watching? 12526 Why did you say build a fire with one match?"
12526	Why do n''t he come in and get some of the supper Sandy is getting ready?
12526	Why do n''t you come out?
12526	Why do n''t you go on and tell me all about the boy and about yourself?
12526	Why do n''t you go outside and take a shot at that half- breed?
12526	Why do n''t you shoot?
12526	Why do n''t you sit down and tell us all about it?
12526	Why do you ask about the boys?
12526	Why do you ask that question?
12526	Why not go around to the door?
12526	Why not move over to the cabin?
12526	Will you answer a few of my questions?
12526	With that great campfire going?
12526	You are sure he did n''t find what he was looking for?
12526	You do n''t really think there''s any of this Hindu temple business in this Little Brass God case, do you?
12526	You do n''t think there are two Little Brass Gods, do you? 12526 You followed Pierre''s example, did you?"
12526	You had Pierre with you? 12526 You have n''t seen any Indian, have you?
12526	You never left''em down there?
12526	You remember Thede Carson, do n''t you, Will?
12526	You remember the two men who came to the window that night?
12526	You say you think that Pierre is the man who bought the Little Brass God of the pawnbroker?
12526	You''re sure they had it?
12526	''"Did you ever get your eyes on it?"
12526	By the way,"he added with a grin,"where are those fish?"
12526	CHAPTER IV LOST IN THE STORM"What you do here?"
12526	CHAPTER V A BOY SCOUT TRICK"Where''s that fool boy going now?"
12526	CHAPTER VI THE CAVE OP THE TWO BEARS"Bears?"
12526	CHAPTER X BOYS IN A TIGHT PLACE"Who''s there?"
12526	CHAPTER XVIII A PILLAR OF FIRE"Can you build a fire with one match?"
12526	CHAPTER XX A SIGHT OF THE GOD"All quiet at the cabin?"
12526	Did n''t you know that?"
12526	Do n''t you see how suspicious he would have been if he had had the little brute in his possession?"
12526	Do you get me, Thede?"
12526	Do you know what it says?"
12526	How can you tell an Indian''s foot- print from any one else''s?
12526	How would any one away off up here know anything about the Little Brass God?"
12526	How''s your head feel?"
12526	If he is, why does n''t he say so?"
12526	Is that it?"
12526	Is that the way you look at it?"
12526	Is that what you mean to say?"
12526	Now let''s see,"the boy went on,"what were the last words he spoke?"
12526	Now, how about this fish?"
12526	Odd sort of a quest, that, eh?"
12526	Or did you come up in an aeroplane?"
12526	Rocks continued to fall from the barrier, and in a moment a voice called out:"Who''s there?"
12526	That would be a good medal, would n''t it, for boys who showed such courage in the face of the enemy?"
12526	That''s some Boy Scout forestry sense, is n''t it?"
12526	The correct thing to say in these modern days is''Vot iss?''
12526	We do n''t want to go back to Chicago as soon as we find the Little Brass God, do we?"
12526	What else did they see?"
12526	What spite has he against us?"
12526	What''s that?"
12526	Where have they gone, anyway?"
12526	Which way is the fire?"
12526	Who was it that visited your cabin?"
12526	Why should any one in his right mind give old Finklebaum a thousand dollars or five thousand dollars, for that piece of brass?
12526	Would n''t they murder a score of men if they had to in order to get possession of it?"
12526	You ca n''t mean that he had anything to do with your appearance here?"
12526	asked Will,"and why do you come here looking for him?
12526	exclaimed George, as the lads listened in front of the cave,"do you think there are polar bears up here?
12526	exclaimed Tommy,"do n''t look around and say''Where am I?''
12526	exclaimed Will,"you saw the Little Brass God, too, did n''t you?"
12526	he asked,"How much did Mr. Horton tell you?"
12526	he said,"What''d you think they''d do with them?"
12526	shouted Pierre,"So that''s what you want?"
12526	the boy continued,"had n''t we better make a break for the cabin?
6904	''Where are you?
6904	About what?
6904	About what?
6904	Acting as a Secret Service man of the United States?
6904	Ai n''t he got no sense?
6904	And I wonder where Jimmie and Leroy are?
6904	And Jimmie? 6904 And about this man Lyman?"
6904	And go to kingdom come with her?
6904	And he is lost?
6904	And he went into the air alone?
6904	And how you goin''to get it?
6904	And in the meantime, I presume you think you are going to keep me tied up like a calf going to market?
6904	And marooned him off here? 6904 And now,"he concluded,"Where do you want to go?"
6904	And so this Mr. Thomas Q. Collins is the man at the bottom of the trouble?
6904	And these prospective concessionaires are looking to it that Lyman gets no aid from this country?
6904	And this is the 18th?
6904	And what about Collins?
6904	And what are we going to do when Ned comes back? 6904 And what does this Lyman person say?"
6904	And when we find him?
6904	And where will we be when the explosion is rocking this half of the world?
6904	And why not try some other stream?
6904	And you know that country-- the country around the lake?
6904	And you''re out for fun?
6904	Anything new about the aeroplane?
6904	Are you hurt?
6904	Aw, what can they do to us?
6904	Aw, why do n''t they send a warship to do the job?
6904	But about the dynamite?
6904	But how will he ever find us here?
6904	But what is to become of us?
6904	But what then? 6904 But will the folks stand for it?"
6904	But you are in the employ of the government?
6904	By whom?
6904	Ca n''t you see the wires were sent to locate Ned? 6904 Can one land there?"
6904	Can we get a motor- car here? 6904 Can you do it?"
6904	Cannibals?
6904	Chased Jimmie up, eh?
6904	Did he get him?
6904	Did you find gold?
6904	Did you get a good look at either of the two men you speak of?
6904	Did you see the other white man?
6904	Do n''t you know what that coo- coo- ee- ee is? 6904 Do you fellows know what it is to be hungry?"
6904	Do you know any of the gazabos about here? 6904 Do you see her yet?"
6904	Do you think that a safe plan?
6904	Do you think they saw that light?
6904	Do you think we''ve been followed down here?
6904	Does he talk United States?
6904	Does it ever bite when it puts out these signals of distress?
6904	Does it hurt?
6904	Empty?
6904	For trial?
6904	For whom were you looking?
6904	Has the Nelson returned?
6904	Have you got it in your pocket?
6904	He can operate the machine?
6904	Held against his will?
6904	How are we going to get out of here? 6904 How did he ever find Lyman?"
6904	How did you get in here?
6904	How did you happen to get out here?
6904	How did you know?
6904	How do you know it''s Ned?
6904	How do you know that stream is the Madeira?
6904	How do you know we''re spotted?
6904	How do you know?
6904	How do you like it?
6904	How far east and south?
6904	How fast do you want to go?
6904	How long will it be?
6904	How long you been sleuthin''at us from that rock?
6904	How will you trade prisoners?
6904	I wonder how you would like a game of chase- the- bullet? 6904 I wonder if I can?"
6904	I wonder if I can?
6904	I wonder if the other aviator is also having trouble with his machine?
6904	If you find him, what do you propose doing?
6904	In other words, you want me to betray my trust and help you rob him?
6904	Is that little runt speaking for you?
6904	Is that so?
6904	Is that the name of the aviator who runs this machine?
6904	Is this by your order?
6904	It is a long way from Asuncion?
6904	It is some river, eh?
6904	It was Horace M. Lyman you worked for, eh?
6904	It''s clever, eh?
6904	Kind- hearted little fellow, eh?
6904	Lyman?
6904	Now what?
6904	Now, how are we goin''to get out of here? 6904 Oh, what''s the use?"
6904	On the level?
6904	Perhaps you live over there?
6904	Perhaps you may be able to arrange it?
6904	Reported to whom?
6904	Rowan?
6904	Say,he continued,"ca n''t we do something to attract their attention?
6904	See these crooked little lines? 6904 Shall we come down there?"
6904	Shall we light a fuse and give one of these persuaders a toss over into that mess?
6904	She goes some, eh?
6904	So Mr. Lyman is there with you?
6904	So you left and went to Sicuani?
6904	So you really do want to buy my silence?
6904	So, you are an American tourist?
6904	Sounds like an express train, eh?
6904	Suppose I answer him?
6904	Suppose you tell us something about that call?
6904	That is on the boundary between Peru and Bolivia?
6904	That was n''t a bluff, then? 6904 Then he has only fourteen days in which to get back to Asuncion and make a large payment?"
6904	Then how are we going to find out where this Lyman person is?
6904	Then we can do what we please with it, so long as we make it right with the other members of the Patrol?
6904	Then you do n''t know whether the aviator is out there or not?
6904	Then you have n''t been out there?
6904	Then you''ll get a word with Lyman, if you can?
6904	Then, when we get up in the air, we take to our heels?
6904	They ca n''t follow us in the air, eh?
6904	To dodge out and in? 6904 Trying to study astronomy, with not a star in sight?"
6904	Up in the air?
6904	We are to do something by stealth, then, which the diplomats of the State department are too cautious to undertake?
6904	We left you on the way to little old N.Y. Where you been?
6904	Well, was n''t that going some?
6904	Well, why do n''t we go and get him?
6904	Well,Collins called out, impatiently,"are you going to let me come in for a talk?
6904	Well,Jimmie said, as he looked gloomily at the discouraged Jackson,"what do you think of this?
6904	Well,he said, turning on one of the electric bulbs so as to see the face of his passenger,"what do you think of the Nelson?
6904	Well,insisted the boy,"why did n''t you browse around and find the white man he left here?
6904	Well? 6904 Well?"
6904	Well?
6904	Well?
6904	Well?
6904	Were you out there before?
6904	What about it?
6904	What are you doing to Collins?
6904	What are you figuring on?
6904	What are you going to do with us?
6904	What are you here for?
6904	What can I do for you?
6904	What did he want?
6904	What did you do that for?
6904	What do you mean by molesting these boys?
6904	What do you mean?
6904	What do you see up there, Jack?
6904	What do you take for it?
6904	What do you want of it?
6904	What do you want to know?
6904	What do you want?
6904	What does he come up here for?
6904	What does it read?
6904	What does this mean?
6904	What else would an airship be here for just at this time? 6904 What for?"
6904	What good would it do if she had wings?
6904	What have the messages to do with our being spotted?
6904	What is he doing?
6904	What is it, if it is n''t a star?
6904	What is it?
6904	What is it?
6904	What is there over in that direction?
6904	What new wrinkle is this?
6904	What next?
6904	What sort of an airship have you here?
6904	What time did the Nelson leave?
6904	What will those men do with Lyman?
6904	What will you give for a couple of tins of pork and beans?
6904	What''s Ned doing?
6904	What''s doing?
6904	What''s he got to do with it?
6904	What''s over there?
6904	What''s that he''s loading on?
6904	What''s that?
6904	What''s the matter with dynamite?
6904	When are you coming back?
6904	When did you first see it?
6904	When did you see him last?
6904	When do you start for Manhattan Island?
6904	When does it lapse, in case he does not appear and make payment?
6904	When will the two motor- boats be here?
6904	Where are you going to take me?
6904	Where are you taking me?
6904	Where did he go with him?
6904	Where did that Nestor boy go with the man he picked up by the fire?
6904	Where did you get that?
6904	Where did you leave Leroy?
6904	Where from?
6904	Where is the Black Bear?
6904	Where is the white man who was with you when you first came here in the car?
6904	Who can pitch it so that it will knock that blooming dry wood into the stream?
6904	Who is doing this?
6904	Who is that fellow who is filling you with prejudice against me?
6904	Why did n''t you communicate with him, if you were so hungry?
6904	Why did n''t you do it?
6904	Why do n''t Lyman buy the fellow off?
6904	Why do n''t they go back to Asuncion and look after that cattle concession?
6904	Why do n''t they throw down dynamite? 6904 Why do n''t you stop the machine?
6904	Why does n''t she come down, then?
6904	Why not drop back?
6904	Why not go and see?
6904	Why not leave some of''em out?
6904	Why should he remain here? 6904 Will you say as much for the savages who are with you in this dirty game?"
6904	With that mass of clouds drifting over the sky?
6904	Wonder if he''s going back to New York?
6904	Wonder what Collins will do now?
6904	Would you have recognized him if it had been Lyman?
6904	Yes, I know, but have you ever been over the Andes?
6904	Yes, but who set him at work?
6904	Yes,Leroy said, his manner showing apprehension as well as anger,"but how the Old Scratch did he get his knowledge, of what, we are about to do?
6904	You came in an aeroplane yourself, did n''t you?
6904	You came in that other aeroplane?
6904	You have n''t heard about the attack on our aeroplane, then?
6904	You have n''t seen him?
6904	You heard, then?
6904	You know the kind of shoes the men who work in mines wear? 6904 You mean to hide from the other airship?"
6904	You mean,''Be prepared''?
6904	You meant to capture me tonight?
6904	You refer to Lyman?
6904	You refer to a person, or corporation, waiting to buy the concession?
6904	You remember how I came to be here? 6904 You saw the airship come down?"
6904	You see what they are doing?
6904	You were keeping him a prisoner until his concession should lapse?
6904	After a short silence the fellow asked:"What has become of Collins?"
6904	Again, why had Thomas Q. Collins been left there in the wilderness?
6904	And I''ll bet this is Jimmie?
6904	And if she was n''t sneaking about after us, what would she be hanging up there in the sky for?
6904	And this military chief?
6904	And what''s he trying to do, anyway?
6904	Are you going to tell us where the tent is, Collins?"
6904	As for the falls and rapids, do you expect any stream to creep down from that great plateau without jumping off occasionally?"
6904	But how do you know that rippling sheet of water off there,"swinging an arm to the south,"is the Madeira river?
6904	But how?
6904	By the way, what was the cause of the attack on the aeroplane?"
6904	CHAPTER XII A BRIBE OF HALF A MILLION"What do you want to talk about?"
6904	CHAPTER XIII THE NELSON IN THE SKY"Well,"Ned called back, as the new arrivals shouted down from the ledge,"what do you want?"
6904	Can we make speed with that busted wing?"
6904	Collins hesitated a moment and then asked:"Why ca n''t I come to you and sit down?
6904	Collins snarled out some impertinent reply, and Ned asked:"Did they bring in a tent?"
6904	Do you know him?"
6904	Do you know if we are near any town?"
6904	Do you know where Lyman is?"
6904	Do you suppose we can find a ship going to the mouth of the Amazon early in the morning?"
6904	Do you understand?"
6904	Got a good hold, there?
6904	Had he met with an accident and was he lying, crushed from a long fall, in some mountain canyon?
6904	Had it loosened the obstructing log so that the boat could pass out into the Beni river?
6904	Had the concussion damaged the propellers so that the trip up the valley of the Amazon would have to be abandoned?
6904	Had the cunning savages obstructed the little stream while the lads were busy building their fire and observing their menagerie, as they called it?
6904	Had the pursuing aeroplane overtaken him and destroyed or captured the Nelson?
6904	Had this system been resorted to?
6904	Harry,"he continued,"who does this boat belong to?"
6904	He therefore greeted him cordially and asked:"Something interesting going on in the city?
6904	How are you going to carry Lyman, Jackson and me?"
6904	How did you manage to geezle her?"
6904	How does she get into the air so quick after we cut loose?
6904	How far is it to the place where you left Jimmie and this man Jackson?"
6904	How long will it take Pedro to get back?"
6904	How many times did you have to take the Black Bear to pieces?"
6904	I wonder how he knew we were here?"
6904	I wonder what it can be?"
6904	If you had one more can of beans, do you think you could help us hunt him up?"
6904	Instead he asked one:"Ever see that fellow before?"
6904	Is that it?"
6904	It was the hostile ship, sure enough, but why had she abandoned pursuit of the Nelson?
6904	Jack watched them from the prow for a time and then asked:"What''s that they are throwing into the river?"
6904	Jimmie and Pedro must be about somewhere, the boy thought, as he considered the most practical way of reaching the valley, but where were they?
6904	Jimmie muttered"Have you boys got anything to eat?"
6904	Leaning back in the chair he had taken, he asked:"The curiosity of the people got the better of their courtesy, eh?
6904	Leaving the captives with this cheering(?)
6904	Let them soak him?"
6904	Now what do you think?"
6904	Now would n''t that stop a clock?"
6904	Now, what can we do to keep him from being murdered?"
6904	Now, what''s your name, and what are you boys doin''here with this old sky- ship?"
6904	Now, where''s Jimmie and Leroy?"
6904	Oh, what''s the use?
6904	On the shelf again, Ned asked:"Where did you see a motor car?"
6904	Or was this just natural curiosity?
6904	Peach, is n''t she?"
6904	Say, will you give me a ride in that machine of yours?
6904	Say, wo n''t it be fine to see good old Ned Nestor again?
6904	Say, wo n''t they give us the laugh in New York?
6904	Say, would n''t that be a peach?
6904	See that big chief over there?
6904	Shall I come to you, or will you come to me?"
6904	Similar to the one you gave me not long ago?"
6904	Suppose we begin packing?"
6904	Suppose we toss a stick where it will do little damage and still attract their attention from the boat?
6904	Suppose you go over there and see what the chances are?"
6904	That is what he came in here for, is n''t it-- to hide some one he wanted out of the way?"
6904	That right?"
6904	That would n''t be funny, would it?"
6904	The Wolf will carry us all right, I suppose?"
6904	The tanks were full, were they not?"
6904	The two men talked shop for a moment, and then Collins asked:"Where have you been?"
6904	The words were spoken in pretty good Spanish, and Ned turned quickly and asked:"You speak Spanish then?"
6904	They have captured him again?"
6904	Thomas Q. Collins regarded Ned steadily for a moment, his brusque, salesmanship manner all gone, and then asked:"''Where are you going from here?"
6904	Understand?
6904	Understand?
6904	Understand?
6904	Well, what about it?"
6904	What I want to know is this: Did the driver seem anyway excited when you speeded over this way?
6904	What about it?"
6904	What about it?"
6904	What about that?"
6904	What difference does it make to him if we do go to South America in an aeroplane?"
6904	What do you mean by tying me up and then wrecking the machine?"
6904	What do you think of it?"
6904	What do you think of that?
6904	What do you think of the idea?"
6904	What do you think of the notion, pard?"
6904	What further mischief has the fellow in mind?"
6904	What is it?"
6904	What might your name be, pard?"
6904	What shall we do?"
6904	What''s your name?
6904	What''s your name?"
6904	What?"
6904	What?"
6904	What?"
6904	What?"
6904	Where from?"
6904	Where had Jimmie gone with the machine?
6904	Where had Ned taken the Indian up, and why had the latter volunteered to render this assistance?
6904	Where is he?"
6904	Where was the machine, and how in the name of all that was wonderful had it been brought to that rough country?
6904	Where you stopping?"
6904	Where''s Collins?"
6904	Who brought about the release?"
6904	Who set you boys at work on this case?"
6904	Who''ll keep awake?"
6904	Why did n''t you come down then?"
6904	Why do n''t you do something?"
6904	Why does n''t she come down to town, like we did?"
6904	Why had she spied upon her without in any way interfering?
6904	Why had the Vixen always followed the Nelson?
6904	Why not set fire to some big dry tree and let her blaze up?"
6904	Y.?"
6904	You found Lyman''s coat, did n''t you?"
6904	You know about the revolution in China, and all that?
6904	You must have seen them riding away?"
6904	You see what they are going to do?"
30810	''''Ow''s that for bein''good enough?''
30810	''Ah, Mr. Elliott,''he said,''you are, I suppose, in quest of a donation?''
30810	''Ah, is it really?''
30810	''Ah,''said Mr. Elliott, as he stepped in,''I fancy you''re the gentleman who called on me this afternoon?''
30810	''Ah,''said the senior partner,''have you looked at the trap which gives on the old water- gate, White?''
30810	''Ai n''t I just?''
30810	''Ai n''t it?''
30810	''Ai n''t it?''
30810	''Ai n''t it?''
30810	''Ai n''t it?''
30810	''Almost up to a boy scout, eh?''
30810	''And how far is it away from us?''
30810	''And they never stopped or asked what was the matter?''
30810	''And we can stay out till the ten shillings is gone, father?''
30810	''And what did you tell her?''
30810	''And what do you want here?''
30810	''And what is your ideal of good citizenship, old fellow?''
30810	''And who may you be, and what do you want here?''
30810	''And you remember his dodge for drying his toggery?''
30810	''And you were on your road home?''
30810	''Any chance of putting the fire out, do you think?''
30810	''Anything wrong, Chippy?''
30810	''Anything wrong?''
30810	''Are n''t you going to skin it?''
30810	''Are you any good at catching fish with your hands, Chippy?''
30810	''At that rate,''laughed Dick,''the track we want is n''t likely to be laid your way?''
30810	''Aw''right, ai n''t it?''
30810	''Been ill?''
30810	''Bit of a temptation, worn''t it, to tumble into the car?''
30810	''Boy scout?''
30810	''But do you think it is quite safe, Jim, this mingling of boys from decent homes with gutter- sparrows?''
30810	''But look''ere, Chippy,''said the corporal, Sam Fitt by name,''have we got to be ready any time to stand up for Hoppity Jack sort o''people?
30810	''But what made that frightful noise?''
30810	''But what should he pull his boots off for?''
30810	''But who?
30810	''But why-- why, in the middle of the heath, here?''
30810	''But worn''t it awful?''
30810	''Ca n''t shift that, eh?''
30810	''Can we sport a pound o''sausages?''
30810	''Christian name?''
30810	''Could a boat from a ship in the river go up it?''
30810	''D''ye reckon we look like tramps?''
30810	''D''yer mean it?''
30810	''Did n''t you?''
30810	''Did the car hit you?''
30810	''Did you see the number, Chippy?''
30810	''Do we pull our knots out for lending a hand to the keeper last night, Chippy?''
30810	''Do you mean to say this boy knows something about it?''
30810	''Do you mean to say you two have been out for a week, and only spent two and sevenpence three- farthings all told?''
30810	''Do you suppose anyone will take notice of a patrol you wharf- rats would set up?
30810	''Do you think I''m going to let that spoil our grand march?
30810	''Do you think we could catch a few?''
30810	''Fair enough for us to tek''this, ai n''t it?''
30810	''Fair enough?''
30810	''Feeling sleepy?''
30810	''First thing,''he said,''did you know either of the men?''
30810	''Giving him a wiggin'', guv''nor?
30810	''Goin''to Newminster?''
30810	''Good job we made a rattlin''fire afore we turned in,''remarked the Raven;''seems like comp''ny, do n''t it?''
30810	''Got a holiday?''
30810	''Had it run through the village?''
30810	''Hallo, Thatcher, what''s wrong?''
30810	''Has Mr. Blades had salmon in fresh this morning?''
30810	''Has anyone passed here since the accident?''
30810	''Has it gone bad?''
30810	''Have a fag, Chippy?''
30810	''Have n''t you a hay- loft?''
30810	''Have we got it?''
30810	''Have you bagged him?''
30810	''Have you got the track?''
30810	''Have you had plenty to eat?''
30810	''Have you read some of it?''
30810	''Have you read the first part of B.-P.''s book, Dick?''
30810	''Have you sent for the doctor?''
30810	''How about another try?''
30810	''How about the sergeant?''
30810	''How about under that little hanger?''
30810	''How are the Ravens getting on?''
30810	''How are ye goin''to march, Dick?''
30810	''How are you gettin''on there, Jem?''
30810	''How did you do it?''
30810	''How did you fall into their hands?''
30810	''How did you get behind us?''
30810	''How did you like it?''
30810	''How far are we off?''
30810	''How far?''
30810	''How goes it?''
30810	''How long had you been there?''
30810	''How under the sun did she find out these were not fresh?
30810	''How''s that?''
30810	''How''s the little girl coming on?''
30810	''How''s yer foot, Dick?''
30810	''How''s yer tender conscience?''
30810	''I ca n''t teach yer much out o''this''ere book, eh?''
30810	''I know that one,''said the boy,''What''s t''other name?''
30810	''I s''pose you know all the creeks along the river pretty fair?''
30810	''I say, Bailey,''said Dick,''you might take this up to my father, will you?''
30810	''I say, Chippy, do you reckon that it was a bit of a blot on us as scouts that we were caught like that?''
30810	''I seed some on the gate,''said the Raven;''did yer hit the trail pretty soon?''
30810	''I wonder how our patrols are getting on without us, Chippy?''
30810	''In a hurry?''
30810	''Is everyone else here?''
30810	''Is he badly hurt?''
30810	''Is n''t it a nuisance,''groaned Dick,''for a jolly awkward cut like that to come in and make the going bad for me?
30810	''Is that a screech- owl?''
30810	''It''s all right about yer place, ai n''t it?''
30810	''Jolly good, are n''t they, for so early in the season?
30810	''Lodgings have been cheap, then?''
30810	''Look here,''said Arthur sharply to Chippy, who was smiling on the Wolves with a most amicable air;''what do you mean by turning up behind us?
30810	''Look here,''said the spy in quiet tones,''have you seen me for the last five minutes?
30810	''May I ask your friend''s name?''
30810	''Me?''
30810	''Mortal hot, ai n''t it?''
30810	''Not nowadays?''
30810	''Now, Chippy,''cried Dick,''how in the world did you know what was in my mind?''
30810	''Now, Chippy,''said Dick,''the point for us is this: Has he got safely home or not?''
30810	''Now, Mr. Elliott,''said Billy,''what do you say?''
30810	''Now, where''s your badge, wharf- rat?''
30810	''Oh, father,''burst out Dick,''I can go, ca n''t I?
30810	''Oh, uncle,''cried out Dick,''ca n''t we begin scouting at once?
30810	''Oh, you''re patrol- leader, are you?''
30810	''On the crook?''
30810	''Ow are yer goin''to smell an enemy or a fire or sommat like that half a mile off if yer spoil yer smell wi''smokin''?''
30810	''Quite sure theer''s no salt in this?''
30810	''Right for you, old boy,''replied Dick;''which trout shall we have?''
30810	''Rum, ai n''t it?''
30810	''Rum, ai n''t it?''
30810	''S''pose I''ave a look?''
30810	''Said as there wor''some about, an''big uns too, did he?''
30810	''See it?
30810	''See wot I''m doin''?''
30810	''See wot''s under my arm?''
30810	''Shoot him?''
30810	''So that you can try your hand on the fish, eh?''
30810	''So that''s your rod, is it?''
30810	''Supper?''
30810	''That''s a rum game, ai n''t it?''
30810	''The boat''s ready, I suppose?''
30810	''The march in from here?''
30810	''Then why mek''a row about handin''it over?''
30810	''There''s a fish acrost th''other side, just gone into a hole in the bank,''said Chippy;''wonder if I could get''i m out?''
30810	''To the Horseshoe?''
30810	''Tom, Tom,''panted a shrill voice behind,''why will ye be so franzy?
30810	''W- w- what is it?''
30810	''Walkin''from place to place, be ye?''
30810	''Was it a dog prowling about?''
30810	''Was it there when we came?''
30810	''We should like to start again on Monday, should n''t we, Chippy?''
30810	''We''ve got our tennis- balls to fire at him; but how is he going to fire at us?''
30810	''Well, Slynn,''he said,''and what may you want?''
30810	''Well, sir,''said Chippy,''wot about"Scout meets Scout"?
30810	''Well, then, Jim, you think this scouting movement is of real service?''
30810	''Well, what did she ask you?''
30810	''Well, who?''
30810	''Well,''replied Chippy,''wot if I did black yer eye?
30810	''Well,''said the colonel,''suppose I have the story from one of you boys?''
30810	''Were these cutlets taken from the fresh salmon?''
30810	''What about the motor- car?''
30810	''What are we goin''to do with this nipper?''
30810	''What are we going to do, Chippy?''
30810	''What are you doing here?
30810	''What brings you back at this time?''
30810	''What d''ye say to a drop o''milk?''
30810	''What did I say?
30810	''What do ye make of it, Tom?''
30810	''What do you want here?''
30810	''What do you want?''
30810	''What does it mean?
30810	''What does the patrol- leader say?''
30810	''What does this mean?''
30810	''What for?''
30810	''What have you got, I''d like to know?''
30810	''What is it, Billy?''
30810	''What is it, Chippy?''
30810	''What is it?''
30810	''What made him sack yer?''
30810	''What made you do such a soft trick, Slynn?''
30810	''What makes''em so sharp on this game?''
30810	''What of that?''
30810	''What of that?''
30810	''What on earth are you nippers up to?''
30810	''What shall we call our patrol?''
30810	''What was I doing when you saw me first?''
30810	''What''s a rum- looking beggar like you got to do with a patrol?
30810	''What''s all this about?''
30810	''What''s come to Gracie?''
30810	''What''s his name?''
30810	''What''s that game?''
30810	''What''s that ye say, Diggory?''
30810	''What''s that, Chippy?''
30810	''What''s that?
30810	''What''s that?
30810	''What''s the best plan?''
30810	''What''s the bill of fare, cook?''
30810	''What''s the matter?''
30810	''What''s the use of coming here and talking about a patrol of wharf- rats?
30810	''What''s this?''
30810	''What''s wrong?
30810	''What''s wrong?''
30810	''What, Fred, back already?''
30810	''Wheer are they got to?''
30810	''Wheer''s discipline if so be as everybody can do as he''s a mind?''
30810	''Wheer''s the nearest place wi''a fire an''a woman in it?''
30810	''When is your next half- holiday?''
30810	''Where am I goin''to get another?''
30810	''Where are we going to get it?''
30810	''Where are you going to get one?''
30810	''Where have you come from?''
30810	''Where is he now?''
30810	''Where is he?''
30810	''Where is he?''
30810	''Where''e the skin?''
30810	''Where''s that merry hooter?''
30810	''Where''s the map?
30810	''Where''s your badge?''
30810	''Where''s your lanyard and whistle?''
30810	''Where''s your shoulder knot?''
30810	''Which way do we move?''
30810	''Which way does it lie?''
30810	''Who are you?''
30810	''Who knows wot''e might do?''
30810	''Who set ye here?''
30810	''Who wants to smell things all that way?
30810	''Who''s Albert?''
30810	''Who''s about?''
30810	''Who''s playing the fool?''
30810	''Who''s stoppin''yer?''
30810	''Who''s that out in the garden, gra''mother?''
30810	''Who''s your friend, Dick?''
30810	''Why do n''t they collar''em?''
30810	''Why must we do that, sergeant?''
30810	''Why not ride along o''me?
30810	''Why not vote upon the question?''
30810	''Why should anyone want to follow you?''
30810	''Why should he be here, all this distance from Locking?''
30810	''Wo n''t I?''
30810	''Wot about a convict?''
30810	''Wot about my challenge now?''
30810	''Wot about nex''Sat''day at three, up at yer sandpit?''
30810	''Wot about that patch o''thick stuff right ahead?''
30810	''Wot are we goin''to do wi''this?''
30810	''Wot call?
30810	''Wot d''yer say to campin''pretty handy to it to- night?''
30810	''Wot d''yer want, Chippy?''
30810	''Wot do we do?''
30810	''Wot''s he a- spyin''on in the he''th?''
30810	''Wot''s the best way to head arter this?''
30810	''Wot''s the game, I wonder?''
30810	''Wot''s the game?''
30810	''Wot''s the home stretch run out at?''
30810	''Wot''s the matter?''
30810	''Wot''s the time?''
30810	''Wot''s this?''
30810	''Wot''s this?''
30810	''Wotcher doin''here?''
30810	''Yer do n''t want another in the Ravens, do yer, Chippy?''
30810	''Yer would meet us, then?
30810	''Yes,''said the farmer wonderingly;''how do you come to know about him?
30810	''Yes; and suppose such a man went to a place where there was no one at home but a woman, or a woman and children?''
30810	''Yes; but how are you going to prove it?''
30810	''You do n''t mean to say you''d do the same if it happened again, do you?
30810	''You think you''re very sharp, but how do I know you''re a scout?''
30810	''You were in the waggon?''
30810	''You''re quite sure nothing can be done?''
30810	''Your little gell, eh?''
30810	Ai n''t it dark?''
30810	And Chippy as well?
30810	And now what can I do for you?''
30810	And what''s it got to do with Mrs. Marten''s cutlets?''
30810	And you have n''t found anything else?''
30810	And you said you''d lend us a hand, did n''t you?''
30810	Ask him if he''ll swear to say nothin''?''
30810	Besides, ai n''t we scouts?
30810	Bread and tea were easy enough to prepare, but how were they going to cook the eels?
30810	But is it a reg''lar game?''
30810	But s''pose I did a job for some''dy as was really worth sixpence, an''I''d done me good turn that day, could I tek''the sixpence to help us along?
30810	But wot about this work?
30810	But wot do they want convicts for on the h''eth?''
30810	CHAPTER XIII ALBERT, WHO WASN''T ALBERT''You know who it is?''
30810	Can he have had anything to do with it?''
30810	Chippy scratched his jaw thoughtfully, then spoke up:''D''ye reckon it''s worth a loaf to ye-- a big un?''
30810	Chippy?''
30810	Did n''t I see you on the heath just about here last Thursday?''
30810	Did she ask you anything?''
30810	Do you want to lose your job?''
30810	Elliott?''
30810	Elliott?''
30810	Elliott?''
30810	Elliott?''
30810	Elliott?''
30810	Got a stone in it?''
30810	Got''em safe?''
30810	Had he seen too much?
30810	Had the men gone out towards the middle?
30810	Has a convict escaped?
30810	Have I got home?''
30810	Hello, wot''s up here?
30810	Here, what are ye up to?''
30810	How about the pewey?''
30810	How did ye come to see her?''
30810	How did ye get round to the trap this mornin''?''
30810	How did you do that?''
30810	How did you manage it?''
30810	How discovered?
30810	How had he left the place-- on his own feet, or with assistance?
30810	How have you got on?''
30810	How long do you think we shall be able to keep going on our money-- till the end of the week?''
30810	I done one or two odd jobs for''i m to get''i m to talk, and then I sez to''i m,"D''yer ever screw tips on heels?"
30810	If we tek''money for the job,''ow''ave we''elped our country?''
30810	Is he slipping off under cover of those low blackthorns?''
30810	Is he trying to steal across the heath to find somewhere to hide himself?
30810	Is n''t it hot?
30810	Is n''t it lonely country all round it?
30810	Is that it?''
30810	Is that your house?''
30810	Now arose the vital question: Had the unlucky rider received help or not?
30810	Now then, you, turn that money up, will ye?''
30810	Now, Chippy, what shall we have for supper?
30810	Now, Dick, wheer are ye goin''to dry yerself?''
30810	Now, how are you going to get back to Bardon?''
30810	Now, how were these men going to break in?
30810	Now, what about gettin''the bed ready afore we have supper?
30810	Now, what had happened to the rider?
30810	Now, where are we?
30810	Now, where''s that?''
30810	Now, who gets fust sleep-- long or short?''
30810	Now,''he went on,''wot''s the distance to the Fort?''
30810	Run to Martin and tell him what he had found out?
30810	Ryder?''
30810	See wot''s in front?''
30810	That''s it, is n''t it?''
30810	Then what''s to be done with him?''
30810	There was a short silence, then Billy murmured gently:''What do you think, Mr. Elliott, that B.-P. would say if he was here?''
30810	Was he free or a captive?
30810	Went off on his bike a bit back, eh?''
30810	Were they cut from the fresh salmon?''
30810	What about a cast round by that rabbit warren over there?
30810	What could he do?
30810	What did this mean?
30810	What do you mean by watching me?''
30810	What had become of his friend?
30810	What is the punishment threatened to the spy who is caught at such a task?
30810	What patrol?''
30810	What should he do?
30810	What was that Chippy had worked in among his sobs and moans?
30810	What was that?''
30810	What were their former relations?
30810	What will the Government he serves do to help him?
30810	When will this pest of lazy, loutish loafers, often brutal and dangerous, be cleared from our pleasant highways and byways?
30810	When would you like to try a friendly turn against us?''
30810	Where are you?''
30810	Where do we run to?''
30810	Where was Dick?
30810	Where''s your patrol- leader?''
30810	Which will you have?''
30810	Who can eat a thing like that?''
30810	Who had struck that light about the water- level?
30810	Who were these people who had crept up so silently that the scout had heard nothing?
30810	Who''s he a- tryin''to cop?''
30810	Why do n''t yer go and look?''
30810	Why do n''t you go in for real scouting?
30810	Why, where did you pick those rabbits up?''
30810	Will they be class enemies when they are men?
30810	Will you cook it the same way?''
30810	Will you shake hands?''
30810	Wo n''t you sit down?
30810	Wot about Albert?''
30810	Wot about it?''
30810	Wot d''yer say to a drop o''milk in the tea?''
30810	Wot does it all mean?
30810	Wot for?
30810	Wot made yer pull yer boot off?
30810	Wot sort o''game is that un for a scout?''
30810	Wot yer grousin''about?''
30810	Wot''s inside?''
30810	Wot''s the bill o''fare?''
30810	Yer leader ai n''t agin us now?''
30810	You''ve all got a ball apiece, have n''t you?''
30810	chuckled Mr. Elliott;''but how much of the second half- sovereign have you spent for food?''
30810	cried Dick,''been hunting already?
30810	he cried,''are you awake?
30810	repeated Dick;''that means dishonest, does n''t it, Chippy?''
30810	returned Arthur''Where''s your patrol- flag?''
30810	said one, as if in answer to a remark the scout had not caught--''who could help laughin''?
30810	what''s that?''
30810	who''s this?''
30810	wot''s that?''
30810	you, Dick?''
17266	A package, Paul; did he say what it contained?
17266	Ai n''t you heard nawthin''about it, Paul? 17266 All there, ai n''t they?"
17266	And counted the coins again, perhaps to find them short, eh, Jack?
17266	And does he always get it?
17266	And nothing was missing?
17266	And took this wad of dough out of it?
17266	And will he carry the bundles home safely, without stopping to play with other dogs, or to fight?
17266	Both door and window open in the bargain?
17266	But I''ve seen something about a troop?
17266	But he''s only a little fellow after all, Jack?
17266	But how do you know those moving figures are Ted and Ward, or even any of that crowd?
17266	But if not Karl, then who got my old coins?
17266	But now I''ve told you, Paul, are n''t you goin''to slip around the back way, and let them fellers take it out waitin''? 17266 But now?"
17266	But what d''ye think it is?
17266	But what''s he got on the end of that pole?
17266	But where there are two there may be more, Paul?
17266	But you could ask Arline?
17266	But you found out that he was innocent, did you?
17266	But you found the fourth all right, Jack?
17266	But you had something in mind, father, when you said that you met him?
17266	But you have another up your sleeve, you said?
17266	Call the roll, somebody, wo n''t you?
17266	Can you tell me what Smithers looks like, Paul?
17266	Could I? 17266 D''ye see them, son?
17266	Did anybody go to look for Willie?
17266	Did n''t I say we''d have to get up early in the morning if we hoped to keep from taking their dust? 17266 Did they?
17266	Did you bring your glim along?
17266	Did you forget to lock it after you, Jack?
17266	Did you happen to see inside that red car as it went by?
17266	Do n''t believe I ever saw it before; but then, what of that? 17266 Do n''t know, but we ought to be able to put our best foot forward just as long as that little fellow does, do n''t you think?"
17266	Do n''t we get more than these five matches?
17266	Do n''t you see what he means, Wallace?
17266	Do we have to stay in here until morning?
17266	Do we? 17266 Do you happen to know if any fellow called to see you to- day while you were out?"
17266	Do you know the machine, then?
17266	Do you mean he''d like to draw us off by shouting that way, while some of his fellows went along to the farmhouse, and got the lost boy?
17266	Do you want me to tell you the whole thing, sir?
17266	Eh? 17266 Fair?
17266	For goodness sake; wo n''t somebody please pound Bluff Shipley on the back, and make him bite his twisted tongue, so he can talk straight?
17266	Gut ye, have I? 17266 H- h- how about our b- b- barn, fellows?"
17266	Has anything happened to- day?
17266	Have you seen this party named Solus Smithers?
17266	Hey, what''d you do with it, son?
17266	Hit it the first shot,returned Bobolink;"who told you?"
17266	Hit up the pace, wo n''t you, please, Bobby?
17266	How about inviting some of the Slavin crowd to join us?
17266	How about it, Wallace?
17266	How about the engine-- is she much damaged?
17266	How about you, Paul? 17266 How far ahead is that place?"
17266	How is it, Paul? 17266 How is it, Paul?"
17266	How long can we keep this up, Paul?
17266	How long is it?
17266	How would to- morrow do?
17266	I certainly will, sir; and perhaps you''d like me to speak to the gentlemen, and tell them how anxious you are to see them?
17266	I guess all of you know by this time what some fellers did to Growdy''s pigs last Saturday night, painting''em to beat the band? 17266 I suppose money could n''t buy him, then?"
17266	Is it about Ted Slavin and his cronies?
17266	Is it so bad as that then? 17266 It was n''t Colonel Strange, was it?"
17266	Know-- what, my son?
17266	Let up, you; d''ye want to give the whole snap away? 17266 Listen now, what d''ye suppose they''re doing?"
17266	Listen to him, will you? 17266 Listen,"said William, suddenly; with a thrill in his voice;"whatever do you suppose that is?"
17266	Live around here, bub?
17266	Look here, Paul, if a fellow has to live up to the rules, however could the members of Ted''s company be taken into a troop of Boy Scouts?
17266	Look here, Paul, what''s this hull thing mean?
17266	Look here, Wash, what did I say?
17266	Nothing doing?
17266	Now what d''ye suppose the sillies are poking poles under there, for?
17266	Now, I reckon you''re agoin''to tell all you know about that ere bag, son?
17266	Now, what''s the idea that struck you this time, Paul?
17266	Of course you know what they were, those that are missing?
17266	Our lanterns? 17266 Perhaps I can guess what you did-- was it that you locked the door of your little den, Jack?"
17266	Perhaps it never will, and again, who knows what might come out of this? 17266 Ready to move on, fellows?"
17266	Remember the red car on the road, and the two men in it?
17266	S- s- say, d- d- don''t you k- k- know we''ve got a fi- fine b- b- barn on our p- p- place, fellows?
17266	Same hour as before-- eight o''clock?
17266	Say ye so? 17266 Say, Jack, is n''t that the name of the man who took the old Grimes farm up at the milldam?"
17266	Say, could n''t ye jest make an exception this time, boys?
17266	Say, do you think you could have nailed that runaway horse, with such an impediment twisting you up?
17266	Say, gimme a ride, mister?
17266	Say, is it as bad as that, Jack? 17266 Say, is n''t he a sport, all right, Paul?
17266	Say, mister, you would n''t go to hurt a poor feller what never done you no harm, now, would you? 17266 See here, Paul,"he remarked;"I''m not going to ask you to tell me who it is you suspect; but do I know him?"
17266	Shall I leave the den shut up as it is, then?
17266	Shall I strike a match, Paul?
17266	Six there then, eh?
17266	So ye think yer father''d larf, do ye? 17266 So, it''s ye, is it, Paul Morrison?
17266	Suppose we hold up here, and send out scouts to see how the land lies? 17266 Sure it is, William; but that mean man would n''t budge for you, hey?"
17266	Ted Slavin and some of his ugly ducklings?
17266	Tell me again I''m hearing owls, will you, fellows? 17266 That counts us in, then, for we''ll have plenty of time to get busy before the day of turkey rolls around, eh, Jack?"
17266	That made the little den as tight as a drum, eh?
17266	That ought to do for the present,said Paul, finally, as he closed the book and beamed upon his mates;"and now, what do you think, fellows?"
17266	That you, Paul?
17266	The boys are getting on fine in that water boiling test, are n''t they? 17266 The road, eh?
17266	Then may we hope that you will name an early day for the trial to come off? 17266 Then there were two men in it, you say?"
17266	Then we go on, do we?
17266	Then what took you in my dooryard here; for I heard a pack runnin''away when I kim out of the house? 17266 Then what''s all the doings about?"
17266	Then why not put for the old place at full speed right away?
17266	Then you give us permission to pitch in, and whale the whole bunch the next time they play one of their measly old tricks on us? 17266 Then you suggest waiting for him as he comes out, and telling him we know all about his fishing for my coins?"
17266	Then you_ are_ in trouble; and you mean to confess to me? 17266 Think it lies in this direction, Paul?"
17266	Thought you''d give us the quiet sneak, and gobble all the glory yourselves, hey?
17266	Wall, did yuh run acrost the bag, Brad? 17266 Well, I''d just like to learn if there is anything you Boy Scouts do n''t know how to handle?"
17266	Well, how did you find it?
17266	Well, that''s no reason we have to stay cooped up, is it?
17266	Well, what are we going to do about it, boys?
17266	Well, what do you think of that?
17266	Well, what''s all this about?
17266	Well, would you dream of such a thing as that?
17266	Well, you do n''t say?
17266	Well,said Paul, as they headed for the house of his comrade, which chanced to come before his own,"what do you think of my scheme, Jack?"
17266	Well?
17266	Were you looking for me, my boy?
17266	What d''ye mean, Paul?
17266	What did he do to you?
17266	What did he say?
17266	What do you suppose the silly goose is doing on his knees?
17266	What do you suppose?
17266	What is it?
17266	What of it?
17266	What should I wait fur, when I cort ye in the very act? 17266 What under the sun d''ye suppose he''s doing such a stunt for, Paul?"
17266	What was that, Jack?
17266	What was that?
17266	What was that?
17266	What''s all the row about, Si?
17266	What''s doing now?
17266	What''s doing to make you chase me up this way, Number Three?
17266	What''s that? 17266 What''s that?"
17266	What?
17266	When did you see them?
17266	When he lived here, you and Scissors used to be something of chums, did n''t you?
17266	Where are we heading for?
17266	Where did it happen? 17266 Where shall we meet?"
17266	Where''s the other twin?
17266	Where, when, how?
17266	Whew, but those fellows do n''t believe in letting the grass grow under their feet, do they? 17266 Which is one way of saying that you can guess I have a motive in asking you?"
17266	Who is it this time, William? 17266 Who is the woman?"
17266	Who knows the ways of the open like our Paul? 17266 Who locked this door, fellows?"
17266	Who owns the Dempsey house now, Jack?
17266	Who was that boy?
17266	Who was the last one in?
17266	Who''s child?
17266	Who''s next to report?
17266	Why, how do you do, Mr. Pender? 17266 Why, sure, what''s to hinder you buying your scout''s uniform with it?"
17266	Will Carlo hang around and wait for you a bit?
17266	Will you listen to me, fellows?
17266	With what, boss? 17266 Worth fighting hard for, eh, Paul?"
17266	Yes, and now?
17266	Yes, and then what?
17266	Yes, first tell me who it was you suspected that has turned out innocent?
17266	Yes, what''s it all mean, Paul? 17266 Yet you came up here and counted them; you are positive of that?"
17266	You came up here after you saw Karl off on the train?
17266	You carried out my suggestion then?
17266	You did find the bag, then?
17266	You do n''t say? 17266 You mean that you''ll take the street that leads to the front of your house?
17266	You remember Mr. Silas Westervelt, the Quaker of Manchester?
17266	You said there were fourteen left this morning, did n''t you, Jack?
17266	A bag, mister?
17266	All right, who cares?
17266	And besides, what does an hour, or even two of them, matter in the end?
17266	And do you think it can have gone beyond Stanhope?
17266	And meant to twist my chum up so he''d think one of his own crowd had been taking them?"
17266	And what did he say to that?"
17266	And what shall I say of this fine member of your patrol who so bravely risked his own life to save that of a mother''s baby?
17266	And when you left me in town you hurried around to the post- office to find Mr. Pender, did n''t you?
17266	And you wo n''t begrudge us that, Claypool?"
17266	Another robbery at the jewelry store; or has some one sneaked away with one of the coffins your house carries?"
17266	Any objection to joining in with us and having a little fun while we help a brother even up his score?"
17266	Any other proposition?"
17266	Any trouble at home?
17266	Anybody else going to be there to- night?"
17266	Anything doing?
17266	Are you bothered over the Boy Scout troop we''ve been organizing?
17266	But I''d like to see you make the test, Paul?"
17266	But about this wretched matter, Paul-- you wo n''t say anything to your folks, will you?"
17266	But about those uniforms, boys-- hadn''t the scout tailor better get to work, going over his measurements again?
17266	But how is it you do n''t want to go to your own folks?
17266	But is it true that you and Jack''s father were chums long ago?"
17266	But look here, ai n''t there another way to get to that old abandoned mill without going through the town?
17266	But see here, there''s more back of this than you''ve told me?"
17266	But see here, what does this mean?
17266	But see here, why do you just happen to mention that business?
17266	But tell me what''s gone wrong?
17266	But what about Solus Smithers-- they asked after him, you know?"
17266	But what else could a lad expect who was so unfortunate as to find himself afflicted with such a name as A. Cypher?
17266	But what makes you ask that?
17266	But what yuh mean apushin''in on me thetaways?"
17266	But what''s got you now?
17266	But what''s the matter with you, Jack?"
17266	But when do you mean to tell me what you know about this strange affair, Paul?"
17266	But where could he sell them, do you think?"
17266	But who cared?
17266	CHAPTER II WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A BOY SCOUT"Where are the stone throwers?"
17266	CHAPTER VI A STRANGE SUGGESTION"Who goes there?"
17266	CHAPTER XII THE RIVAL TROOPS"How far do we have to go in this new plan of forgiving the enemy, Paul?"
17266	CHAPTER XXI THE MEETING"How are you, Paul?"
17266	CHAPTER XXIII THE RED CAR"What''s the matter with you, Paul?"
17266	CHAPTER XXV A CAMP IN THE WOODS"Why, Paul, what''s all this hurry mean?"
17266	CHAPTER XXVII TED FINDS SOMETHING"Sure it was n''t an owl?"
17266	Chairman?"
17266	Come in with me, wo n''t you?"
17266	Could he be in league with these two men whom the Government expert was sent to watch?
17266	Could it be possible that the local authorities had in some manner become aware of the fact that law breakers were abroad in the land?
17266	Could it be possible these rascals meant to torture Ted until he told; or were they just trying to frighten him?
17266	D''ye hear that, you young fool?
17266	D''ye suppose he did anything to it when he went out?"
17266	D''ye think you can stand the racket?"
17266	D''ye understand now?
17266	Dared they rise up and defy these two scoundrels?
17266	Did he seem to know who they were?"
17266	Did he tell you the secret?"
17266	Did n''t you hear it that time?"
17266	Did they tackle you, son?"
17266	Did you ever see such agony?"
17266	Did you fly in through the window?"
17266	Did you get that manual you sent for, Paul?"
17266	Do n''t dozens pass along here every day, that come up from the city?
17266	Do n''t he sit up like a soldier?
17266	Do n''t let him kidnap me, will you, Paul?"
17266	Do n''t that satisfy you it was n''t your brother, after all, Jack?"
17266	Do n''t you believe me, mister?
17266	Do n''t you feel more like straining every nerve in the effort to win that prize, after seeing how handsome it is?
17266	Do you get on to the meaning of this movement, fellows?"
17266	Do you see anything changed here?"
17266	Do you want to whip me now, or take me in to the lockup, which?"
17266	Does the mill pond stand on the ground he''s rented?"
17266	Eight or ten would give us a warm time do n''t you think?"
17266	Even if they allowed us to pass by, do n''t you think they''d be apt to take it out of you when you returned alone?
17266	Everybody''s entitled to half the road; ai n''t that the law, fellers?"
17266	Father has n''t come back from his afternoon round of visits, has he?
17266	Five times I did it, to be sure; yet you saw that there were only four just now?"
17266	For how could Karl have anything to do with the bad business while he was up at your uncle''s?"
17266	Get that?"
17266	Gimme a ride, mister, if you''re goin''that way, wo n''t you?"
17266	Give me just a little more time on that, will you, old fellow?"
17266	Guess who remembered us in such a bully way?"
17266	Had not Paul said words to that effect, after telling them what it meant to be a tried and true scout?
17266	Has he actually been down for the mail?"
17266	Have you learned anything you want to tell me, Paul?"
17266	Hello I look here, what''s this?"
17266	Here Carlo, how''s your sweet tooth coming on?"
17266	How about that, Bluff?"
17266	How do they know?
17266	How do you boys expect to look for the child in the blackness of those woods?"
17266	How is the patrol coming on?
17266	How old is Karl?"
17266	How, Paul?"
17266	I believe you want to see for yourself if any more of my coins have disappeared?"
17266	I do n''t suppose Scissors ever drops in to see you nowadays?"
17266	I do n''t suppose you''d care to go straight to her, and ask her point blank what I''d done to make her treat me so cruelly?
17266	I hope you did n''t give the gentleman any idea that you had ever heard a word about him or his car?"
17266	I know I''m awfully dull just now, but who could blame me under the circumstances?
17266	I should n''t think of allowing that at all?"
17266	I wonder now if either of you happen to know a Mr. Solus Smithers?"
17266	I''d better jump in with him, do n''t you think?
17266	I''m going to ask you again, son, what did you do with it?"
17266	If some one cast Ted loose would he join forces with them, and make common cause against the ruffians?
17266	Is he a tall man, with a hooked nose; and does he dip snuff?"
17266	Is he hurt?"
17266	Is it about your school affairs?"
17266	Is n''t that Jack''s dog coming out with a package of papers in his mouth?
17266	Is n''t that so, Jack?"
17266	Is n''t that so, Paul?"
17266	Is n''t that so, fellows?"
17266	Is that plain?"
17266	Is that so, Paul?"
17266	Is the child lost?"
17266	It smells mighty inviting to him, I wager; but will he go in?
17266	Karl, how could you?"
17266	Let me go, wo n''t you?
17266	Let me loose, wo n''t you, mister?
17266	May I ask how they learned just where the camp of the Aldine Troop was to be pitched?"
17266	More of them gone, Jack?"
17266	No boy need longer hesitate to call out to him on the street; for Peleg, I take it, has seen a great light, eh, Jack?"
17266	No, I''m your superior officer, and I order you to stop right here where you belong; do you understand, Jack?"
17266	Now he''s adding larger stuff; and what''s this he''s doing with those stones?"
17266	Now shall I get busy, and meander off?"
17266	Now, I wonder if I could leave these two prisoners in charge of several of you, while the rest went with me in the car?
17266	Now, how many figures have you seen dodging along back there, just as if they did n''t care to be seen-- yet?"
17266	Now, however did that thing happen to be lying there in the road?
17266	Now, what do you think about the nerve of that, fellows?"
17266	Now, what''s doing, fellows; and do we get a grab at the scout?"
17266	Other boys may have been up there to- day?"
17266	Paint my critters red, white an''blue, will ye?
17266	Paul, that you?"
17266	Paul, will you ever forgive me?
17266	Pender?"
17266	Pender?"
17266	Perhaps some servant may have taken them?"
17266	Ready, all?"
17266	Say, are there any books on the subject, that we can get, and learn more about this thing?"
17266	Say, is there any other place up here but the old farm alongside the mill pond?
17266	See my plan?"
17266	Shall I let him past the door, Jack?"
17266	Shall you dismiss the troop here, Paul?"
17266	Stormways?"
17266	Suppose I had that list, and rooting over all the little boxes he keeps his coins in for sale, found every one of the missing ones there?"
17266	Suppose you take your old chum into your confidence, Paul?
17266	Sure you counted four, are you?"
17266	Take my hand, wo n''t you, Paul?
17266	Tell me why you are grinning so, Paul?
17266	That all?"
17266	That''s right, is n''t it, fellows?"
17266	The question that is bothering me is, where did he get it?"
17266	The water must be boiling; and who would have thought it?
17266	There-- well, what d''ye think of that, fellers?"
17266	Think I would so far forget myself as to get down on my knees, and beg her to take me back into favor?
17266	Think I''m stringing you, do n''t you, Paul?
17266	This night air has made you too cold to speak up; but we''ll fix all that, I reckon; we know how to do it, do n''t we, Wash?"
17266	Thomes before you went to the city, did you?"
17266	Thomes?"
17266	Thought it lots of fun, did n''t you?
17266	Was Mr. Jared Pender, the Government expert, about to have rivals in the field?
17266	Was he thinking just then of the coins; or did he have some knowledge of the practical joke that had been played on old Peleg Growdy?
17266	We opened his eyes some, eh?"
17266	Well, mebbe they have; but tell me just why they are hiding close to_ your_ place?"
17266	What business did he have sitting there and taking two- thirds of the road, to let William upset in the ditch trying to pass him?"
17266	What can you mean?
17266	What d''ye think of that, Jack?"
17266	What d''ye think yer father''ll say w''en he hears''bout this?"
17266	What did you do to poor old Ted and his cronies, Paul?"
17266	What do you want me to do, Paul, in the meantime?"
17266	What does a scout promise to be if allowed to wear the uniform, Wallace?"
17266	What has been done to find him?"
17266	What have they been doing?"
17266	What if a storm should come up?"
17266	What if the tall man came straight toward that spot, looking for the missing object?
17266	What say, fellows?"
17266	What shall we do, Paul?"
17266	What sort of a binding agreement had we ought to get up?"
17266	What use is it to be elected bugler if you ca n''t bugle?"
17266	What was that?
17266	What will he do right away, fellows?"
17266	What''s happened?
17266	What''s this you''re giving me, Bobolink?"
17266	What''s your queer game?"
17266	Whatever could have happened in quiet Stanhope, to cause all this gathering of people, and such earnest consultations?
17266	When''s the next meeting, Paul?"
17266	Where did you put that bag?"
17266	Where was it at the time?
17266	Where you ben all this afternoon?"
17266	Who air ye, anyway?"
17266	Who saw little Willie last?
17266	Who was this Solus Smithers?
17266	Who''s laying for me, and where?"
17266	Why let Ted and Ward have the inside track?
17266	Why should n''t we get up one here?"
17266	Why, I wonder?
17266	Why, Paul, whatever put that notion into your head?"
17266	Will he run, fellows?"
17266	With me?
17266	With such a leader, how could they?
17266	Wo n''t_ you_ take me home, Paul?"
17266	Wot''s a hundred dollars beside the new speerit ye''ve managed somehow to start up in me?
17266	Would Mr. Pender have anything to do with it?"
17266	You actually suspected him of taking my coins?
17266	You guessed something then, did n''t you, Paul?"
17266	You know that Si Growdy is a nephew of his?
17266	You mean to catch him at it some time; is that the idea, Paul?"
17266	You remember that baseball bat of mine that''s been lying over here so long?
17266	You remember that time, Jack?"
17266	You say none of them were ever taken in the night?"
17266	You understand, Paul?"
17266	You understand?"
17266	You would n''t break her heart, mister, by smokin''a poor boy?"
17266	You''ll let Jane get me something in a jiffy, wo n''t you, now?"
17266	ai n''t it j- j- just awful, f- f- fellows?"
17266	ai n''t that the same old shout?"
17266	and you say there is no need of our worrying?"
17266	cried Jack;"did she forget her own baby, then?"
17266	did they have anything to do with his coming up here?
17266	did you see that?"
17266	do you mean there''s a sequel to this story?"
17266	exclaimed his chum, delight showing in his voice;"so the old man has really seen a great light, has he?
17266	expect me to tell the hull story, with my boss asettin''there inside the store, watchin''the clock, an''dockin''me for every minute I''m late?
17266	he exclaimed, with a gesture of disgust;"ca n''t you take a little fun, Jack?
17266	how do you think you could do anything, Jack?
17266	is it you?"
17266	is that all?
17266	is that so?"
17266	look at that, will you?"
17266	my, whatever did he take chances like that for?"
17266	remarked Paul,"are you on, too?
17266	then you left the door unlocked again on purpose?"
17266	w- w- why was n''t it m- m- me?"
17266	watch that, will you?"
17266	what ails you?"
17266	what are you goin''to do?"
17266	what d''ye suppose all that row''s about?"
17266	what in the world is that?"
17266	what''s that?
17266	what''s this mean?
17266	wot d''ye know about that, now?
17266	wot''s doin''now, boys?"
17266	wot''s that, Paul?
17266	yes; I see; and he did n''t want trespassers on his farm, eh?
20985	About what?
20985	After what we did to them only last night?
20985	Ai n''t it?
20985	Ai nt, hey? 20985 And boats do n''t run on dry land as a rule, do they, Jud?"
20985	And what''s that coming along behind the same? 20985 And when do you look for Mr. Gordon, Paul?"
20985	And why, may I ask, Paul?
20985	Any reason for thinking that?
20985	Anything doing around here?
20985	Are all here?
20985	Are we going to get busy now?
20985	Are you badly injured, Albert?
20985	Bobolink just had me on the wire,went on Paul, quietly;"and what d''ye suppose he told me?
20985	Buckets?
20985	But Paul, how could he ever get his line in under that canvas, and secure any of our grub?
20985	But Paul, you do n''t mean to tackle him, do you?
20985	But William,the accused boy went on, eagerly,"did n''t I eat more''n any one else?
20985	But do you like the idea, fellows? 20985 But how about the torches?"
20985	But how-- I do n''t just get hold of that, Paul? 20985 But just what tall timber, Mr. Chairman?
20985	But look here, what''s this funny track here? 20985 But say, what''s that you''ve picked up, Paul?
20985	But suppose that fails?
20985	But suppose they do jump in on us; must we turn the other cheek, and get it on both sides?
20985	But the letter?
20985	But the machine is n''t here now?
20985	But what about Ward? 20985 But what''s happened to give you that idea, Jack?"
20985	But why did n''t he stop with you? 20985 But why would they want to break open a feed store?"
20985	But you could n''t recognize him?
20985	Can you feel anything under your feet?
20985	Can you see anything of him, Paul?
20985	Did you hear it?
20985	Did you know them, Paul?
20985	Do n''t it look good to meet with a familiar friend, though?
20985	Do n''t we have a fire, and some cooked grub, Paul?
20985	Do n''t you think the same as I do, and that Joe recognized that man?
20985	Do we get a light?
20985	Do you hear that sound again, Joe?
20985	Do you know why I said that?
20985	Do you miss any money from your safe, sir?
20985	Do you remember blowing out the lamp at all, sir?
20985	Do you suppose your folks would let you camp out to- night down at the church, along with me?
20985	Do you want me to take my gun along?
20985	Feels some better, do n''t it?
20985	Got the key to the gym door, have n''t you, Paul?
20985	Have you reasoned it out?
20985	He''s always calling, ai n''t he, fellows?
20985	Here, what do you make of that?
20985	Hey, what d''ye think of that, fellows?
20985	How about that, Wallace?
20985	How about the other?
20985	How about your animals, sir?
20985	How are you caught?
20985	How can you tell them apart, Paul?
20985	How d''ye know that?
20985	How d''ye know, old wiseacre?
20985	How did you manage with the Indian sign letters I left with you, sir?
20985	How do you know?
20985	How large a tin box was it, father?
20985	How under the sun do we know? 20985 How was that?
20985	I reckon that was what flashed into Joe''s mind,remarked Jack;"he thought this man was at the other side of the world, he said, did he?
20985	I suppose,ventured his chum,"you''re thinking of that man, the fellow who stole our ham, and who came up here in that light rig?"
20985	I wonder where this cave leads to?
20985	If they did n''t mean to badger us in some way why should Ward hurry back to tell the rest, and keep them from showing up here?
20985	If your left leg was sore this morning, what d''ye think the other fellow''s felt like?
20985	Is he still there, Jack?
20985	Is it going to look bad?
20985	Is that all?
20985	Listen to him, would you, Paul?
20985	Listen to that, will you?
20985	Listen, would you?
20985	Look here, Joe, what do you call this?
20985	Look here, what''s to hinder us going and collarin''him on his way home?
20985	Look there, what d''ye call that, fellows?
20985	Looks good to me, eh, Jack?
20985	Meaning that queer little light up there, eh, Paul?
20985	No signs of wheels around here, are there, Paul?
20985	Nothing like getting used to bunking on the hard floor?
20985	Notice the blankets and the things for cooking, will you? 20985 Now look here; what''s the use of beating about the bush like that, Paul?
20985	Now you sure ca n''t think any of those circus canvasmen would take the trouble to follow us?
20985	Now, I wonder what that could be?
20985	Now, what d''ye think these prowlers might be?
20985	Of course we put a guard out to- night, Paul?
20985	Oh, was that it?
20985	Oh, what can we do?
20985	Oil?
20985	Perhaps Ted and his crowd had an ugly experience with those men?
20985	Ready?
20985	Say, did you ever see such a hot time?
20985	Say, do you know what this makes me think of?
20985	Say, fellows, how about settling down to the prosy life after this gay old jaunt; tell me about that?
20985	Say, is this the day we start on that long hike?
20985	Say, that''s why they call a policeman''s club his locust, ai n''t it?
20985	Say, what makes you think that?
20985	Say, you do n''t think, now, it could have been one of that Slavin bunch, do you?
20985	See that bunch of hemlocks over yonder? 20985 Shall I try to get them together, sir?"
20985	Shall we call, and bring some of the fellows around? 20985 Shall we go on further?"
20985	Ted Slavin?
20985	Ted?
20985	That might do the job all right; but at the first sign of danger do n''t you expect this fellow would disappear? 20985 That''s what it is,"observed another, with conviction in his tone;"ai n''t I had it in my hands more''n once at school?
20985	Vat is dis, poys?
20985	Was that what you noticed?
20985	We had Camp Misery and Camp Rescue; what''s the objection to calling this Camp Surprise?
20985	Well, what d''ye make of it?
20985	Well, what did you strike?
20985	Well, who is it?
20985	Well,added Paul, cautiously,"it looks that way; but how do we know?
20985	Were you hurt by that tumble, Jack?
20985	What about''em?
20985	What d''ye want, Paul?
20985	What did it feel like, Andy?
20985	What did you see, then? 20985 What did you think then, old molasses in Winter?"
20985	What do you suppose has happened to give them that bad scare?
20985	What do you suppose it could be?
20985	What in goodness can it be?
20985	What is it, father?
20985	What makes you say that, Jack?
20985	What man?
20985	What ought we do then?
20985	What ought we to do?
20985	What shall we call the camp?
20985	What shall we do, boys?
20985	What sort of a letter now, I''d like to know? 20985 What under the sun d''ye suppose he''s doin''in here?
20985	What under the sun does it all mean?
20985	What wo n''t they try next?
20985	What''s all that talking going on out there?
20985	What''s all the row about, Bobolink? 20985 What''s all this you''re talking about, you sillies?
20985	What''s all this?
20985	What''s that you say, my boy?
20985	What''s that you say?
20985	What''s that, Paul; not going to camp right here, I hope?
20985	What''s that?
20985	What''s the matter in there? 20985 What''s the programme for to- day?"
20985	What''s your idea?
20985	Whatever ought we to do?
20985	When does the moon set to- night, Wallace?
20985	Where are you?
20985	Where d''ye think they''ve located; because never a tent did they bring along?
20985	Where do you suppose this old pile of rocks ever got its name, Paul?
20985	Where''s Bobolink?
20985	Where''s Bobolink?
20985	Where''s that fine old lake, I wonder?
20985	Where?
20985	Which side of the road did he dive into?
20985	Who saw him last?
20985	Who was that?
20985	Why ca n''t they let us alone?
20985	Why did n''t we see that before, then?
20985	Why should it,he said in reply;"when our motto is always''be prepared''?
20985	Why, hello, Wallace, is that you?
20985	Why, is that you, Paul?
20985	Will you be there, then?
20985	Wonder whether they were tramps, or thieves?
20985	Would n''t that just jar you some, fellows?
20985	Would you put it past them?
20985	You believe that I''d like to help get it back for him, do n''t you?
20985	You mean so they might follow, and give us all the trouble they could?
20985	You mean the Slavin crowd, sir, I take it?
20985	You mean they will have to go back home, or stay hungry?
20985	You really do n''t know, then?
20985	You vill wake up de goot beoples mit your rackets, hey?
20985	A bobcat then?
20985	Ai nt you going to turn me loose now?"
20985	Am I right in believing one of these chaps must be Paul?"
20985	And William, you know where to put your hand on those clubs, do n''t you?"
20985	And supposing he had fallen in a fit, who had put out the lamp?
20985	And this is supposed to be the fuse, is n''t it?
20985	Ask your father, Jack?"
20985	Boys, do n''t you see what an ugly look that has?"
20985	Boys, do n''t you see what an ugly look that has?"
20985	Boys, have a little mercy, wo n''t you, now?"
20985	Bud here knows where there''s a weak catch, do n''t you, Bud?"
20985	But I''m wondering what that big circle close to the camp means?"
20985	But Joe, how did he know about the value of the papers your father kept in that tin box?"
20985	But if not Ted''s toadies, then who could be wandering about up there?
20985	But what are you doing, Jack?"
20985	But what are you going to do about it, Paul?"
20985	But what became of him then?"
20985	But what of it?"
20985	But what was it I saw you doing at our last camp, just before we pulled up stakes?"
20985	But what''s got you now?
20985	But where can the papers be?"
20985	But you did n''t hear the popping of the machine, did you?"
20985	But you know they''re intending to hike out up in the same quarter we''ve selected?

20985	Chapter XXXI"Who''s that?
20985	Clausin?"
20985	Clausin?"
20985	Come to look us up, d''ye s''pose, pardner?"
20985	Could I have misplaced it in any way?"
20985	Could it be possible that Mr. Morris, the lawyer friend of Joe''s father, had influenced that official to start out in search of the papers?
20985	Could it be that the entire Slavin crowd had managed to elude their vigilance, and was now hovering over the camp, ready to carry out some dark plot?
20985	Could it really be a bear up there in that big oak, the branches of which reached out, and shook hands with those of other trees?
20985	Could these be the lost papers that had been the cause of so much distress to Mr. Clausin?
20985	D''ye suppose they would break a window if they found the door locked?"
20985	Did anybody hear a sound like a dog growling right then?"
20985	Did n''t you say he was going to stay here till you came from the meeting?"
20985	Did the unknown robber come to the feed- store just on purpose to get hold of them?
20985	Did you get a squint of the pond through the trees?
20985	Did you happen to get a good look at the face of that man as he drove past?"
20985	Did you have another of those awful spells?"
20985	Did you know him?"
20985	Do it some more, will you?"
20985	Do n''t kick a feller when he''s down, will you, Paul?
20985	Do they use it for lamps, or watches, like they do porpoise oil?"
20985	Do you believe that, Paul?"
20985	Do you get it, Jud?"
20985	Do you mean to tell them now?"
20985	Do you really think it might be so?
20985	Do you think they would dare stone the camp, and try to smash our tents?"
20985	Four should be enough to hold the fort, do n''t you think, Jack?"
20985	Get next to the ghost, will you?"
20985	Get on to his curves, would you, boys?
20985	Get the idea, boys?"
20985	Had Mr. Clausin found something on the floor of his feed store that told him his wicked brother must have been there?
20985	Had he ever known him?
20985	Has he gotten clean away?"
20985	Have I been a doin''anything I had n''t ought to?"
20985	Have they got the slippery coon?"
20985	Have you noticed that it seems to have no visible outlet?
20985	He did n''t pull dot rope?
20985	Here, Paul, ai n''t we got something in our medicine chest good for burns?
20985	How about it, Joe?"
20985	How are you going to tell Mr. Gordon that we hiked out of here, and headed due west from this point?"
20985	How can they hold us back?"
20985	How could the villain ever clap hands on our prize; tell me that, wo n''t you Paul?"
20985	How could we prove anything, then, Jack; tell me that?"
20985	How dare you grab me this way?"
20985	How many are there who would like to wipe out that debt, and clean the slate for the day?"
20985	How many matches in the crowd?"
20985	How''d you ever git in here; and who''s along with you?
20985	How''d you ever git in here; and who''s along with you?
20985	How''s that suit you?"
20985	How''s that?"
20985	How''s this place, Paul?"
20985	However did you come to put it there inside of Ward''s hat?"
20985	Hurry up, ca n''t you?"
20985	I hate to tell the boys we''ve reached the end of the rope; but what else is left?"
20985	I leave it to Paul here, if that ai n''t the truth?"
20985	I wonder what I ought to do?
20985	I wonder what it can mean?"
20985	If a rattlesnake jumped out of those bushes there, and gave me a jab on the leg, how ought I go about it to keep from keeling over?
20985	Is n''t that a moving light away up on the side of Rattlesnake Mountain?"
20985	Is n''t that it, fellows?"
20985	Is that it?"
20985	Jack went on,"or are you just saying it on general principles, like?"
20985	Joe, is that you?"
20985	Listen to that, will you?"
20985	Look here, Paul, do you think the man who drove along in that rig is one of these two men?"
20985	Look here, what brought you up here, and who are you?"
20985	Look inside, and see if there is n''t a circle and two cross bars, made with a pen on the sweat band?"
20985	Look what''s that chasing him?"
20985	Look, who''s coming over there, Paul?"
20985	No trouble about such a simple story, eh, Jud?"
20985	Now what d''ye think happened?"
20985	Now, what are you staring at, Bobolink?"
20985	Paul asked;"have n''t they proved themselves ready to do any sort of mean trick in the past?
20985	Paul, do you mean-- would they dare try to dump all that fine grub in the creek, and perhaps ruin our new tents?"
20985	Paul, do you think he means to hold him up, or find out where he lives, so he can steal something more?"
20985	Paul, what should we do?"
20985	Perhaps you noticed me, and that''s why you spoke?"
20985	Perhaps you remember noticing a little side road that joined with this one about a quarter of a mile back?"
20985	Pick out several likely chaps, wo n''t you?"
20985	Possibly some of its waters manage to get to the Bushkill because there are several streams running in; but where does it flow out?"
20985	Ready?"
20985	Reckon you do n''t ever wanter go there agin, eh?
20985	Reckon you do n''t ever wanter go there agin, eh?"
20985	Say, Hank, did n''t I tell you I seen that chief of police down on the road that comes up here from Tatum?
20985	Say, Hank, did n''t I tell you I seen that chief of police down on the road that comes up here from Tatum?
20985	Say, you do n''t think there might be a little bunch of the nasty scaly monsters left over from the old cripple''s hunt, do you, Paul?"
20985	See the point, fellows?"
20985	Shall I get a lantern; and do you want any more along?"
20985	Shall I go up and find out?"
20985	Shall I wake Bobolink and William?"
20985	Shall we go back to the camp now, Paul?"
20985	So suppose I draw a rude hand, with the finger pointing toward a sun that is half down behind a line?
20985	Suppose you get a few pictures of this first camp?
20985	Tell me that, will you, Paul?"
20985	Tell us that, wo n''t you?"
20985	That was surely Jack answering him, but where could he be?
20985	The level line I take it is meant for the horizon?"
20985	Then what?
20985	There ai n''t any wild animals in here, are there, Paul?"
20985	They have been threatened with all sorts of horrible punishments; but did you ever know of one of that bunch to be haled up before the justice?"
20985	They''re on the ground first; but what do we care about that, if they only leave us alone?"
20985	Think of that big bell booming out at such an hour of the night, will you?
20985	Want to go with me, Jack?"
20985	Was he especially interested in what that tin box held?"
20985	Well, what was to hinder a_ boy_ from coming into competition with other things, when an explanation of the mystery was sought?
20985	Were there others also in the oak?
20985	What ails me, anyhow?"
20985	What ails you?"
20985	What could those papers have been; and why was he looking at them that night?
20985	What d''ye mean holding me up like this, right at our own gate too?
20985	What d''ye suppose has scared them?"
20985	What d''ye think?"
20985	What d''ye want with us?
20985	What d''ye want with us?
20985	What did you see?"
20985	What do you say, Jack?"
20985	What do you suppose we''re apt to strike there, Paul?
20985	What do you think I found only a few hundred feet away from our camp?"
20985	What has happened?
20985	What if Hank were returning to search for his coat, remembering how he had left it so carelessly when he fled, and what things of value it held?
20985	What if no one had noticed the absence of Albert, and they had hurried away from the ruined camp, leaving him fast in the tree?
20985	What kind of a scout are you, anyway, William?"
20985	What relation is he to you, Joe, and where was he in prison?"
20985	What say, Wallace?"
20985	What say, fellows?"
20985	What was that sound?"
20985	What was the use, when he had followers able and willing to obey the crook of his little finger?
20985	What would dad say if he knew?"
20985	What would n''t I give to get that?"
20985	What''s that, Bobolink picking up his bugle?
20985	Whatever made these, Paul?"
20985	When will you drop in for me?"
20985	Where am I?"
20985	Where are we going to hike?"
20985	Where can I get a bucket handy, mister?
20985	Where was that, Jack?"
20985	Who could that man be, and why should poor Joe feel so badly over having set eyes on him?
20985	Who did, den, tell me dot?
20985	Who is he, Joe?"
20985	Who was it, and is he all right again?"
20985	Who''s been kicking me when I was asleep?
20985	Why d''ye suppose men''d hang out in such a place as this, and shun their fellows, if they ai n''t been doin''something against the law?"
20985	Why do n''t you open up?
20985	Why do n''t you open up?"
20985	Will I ever forget it?"
20985	Would n''t that be apt to tell him we went west from here?"
20985	Would the thief open up communications with him, and demand a ransom for their return?
20985	You believe that, do n''t you?"
20985	You''ve seen something, have n''t you?"
20985	ai n''t this the toughest place ever, though?"
20985	another o''them boy scouts you was tellin''me about, eh, Hank?"
20985	asked Mr. Clausin, hastily;"the door was open when you came?
20985	but do n''t they all look like they''d been drawn through a knot- hole, though?"
20985	came a voice that Paul easily recognized as belonging to Ted Slavin himself;"Who''s afraid?
20985	cried Bobolink, as he rubbed his eyes,"wake me up, somebody, wo n''t you?
20985	cried Bobolink,"but wo n''t he get the dope instead of you, then?"
20985	did n''t you hear it, fellows?
20985	do n''t I know that Ted, though?"
20985	do n''t it look awful big, fellows?"
20985	exclaimed Bobolink as he found himself looking into what seemed to be a very deep and black hole;"was n''t it lucky we got the glim going when we did?
20985	exclaimed Bobolink,"now, what do you mean by that?
20985	exclaimed Jack, in a disappointed tone,"then he''s a friend of yours, sir?
20985	get a grip on my legs, will you?
20985	is that so?"
20985	lamented William, as he leaned on his war- club, and looked as forlorn as one of his merry disposition ever could,"whatever did they run away for?
20985	laughed Paul;"and I guess you must have made the same discovery I did?"
20985	listen, would you?"
20985	mister scout leader, how vas dot?"
20985	my, what do you mean, Bobolink?"
20985	said a quavering voice,"is that you?"
20985	shucks, d''ye mean to say you never heard that story?"
20985	the looney has been fishing here; now, what d''ye think of that?"
20985	the old sexton was crying,"I knows apout how you does all de times, Villiam Carberries, ai n''t it?
20985	then you mean they''re escaped convicts, or something like that?"
20985	then you think perhaps that Ted Slavin and his crowd might have made this fire; is that it, Paul?"
20985	there, Bud, what''s keeping you?"
20985	think you''re smart, do n''t you, Morrison?
20985	vat you poys say?
20985	was n''t that a jerk?"
20985	well, we''re not worrying,"declared Jud, looking around at the ring of bright faces, and nodding,"are we, fellows?"
20985	well,"Jud went on to say,"what would be the use of tantalizing the poor chaps?
20985	what if we should run up against a man hiding there?"
20985	what of that?"
20985	what was it?
20985	what would nine miles be to fellows on wheels?
20985	what''s going on, Paul?"
20985	where do we come in?
20985	yes, tell that to the ducks, will you?
20985	you, mister with the big elephant, do n''t you want a drink of the coldest spring water on earth?
5602	''Waal, ther was n''t nothin''ther matter with ther huntin''was ther?'' 5602 ''Where is the best place to go?''
5602	A game?
5602	About Randolph, Dick Wilson and young Blake,explained the judge;"and, by the way, where is Pepper?
5602	About what?
5602	After the prowess exhibited by their messenger, do you think we dare accept?
5602	Ah reckon dat am so,drawled Rand, then changing his tone he went on:"What do you say to having a meeting to- night and talking it over?
5602	Ah, what''s that?
5602	All over?
5602	All through your interruptions?
5602	And know how to fly it?
5602	And now,continued the colonel,"in celebration of the organization of-- By the way, you have n''t chosen a name yet, have you?
5602	And phat will Oi be doing?
5602	And where are they?
5602	And where do I come in?
5602	And you say the windows were fastened?
5602	And you were n''t so far out of the way at that, were you, Pepper?
5602	Any one there?
5602	Anything I can do for you?
5602	Are there any further additions or amendments? 5602 Are you going to shoot them?"
5602	Are you going with us?
5602	Are you ready, all?
5602	Are you sure that your agile enemy is n''t watching us from somewhere and just waiting for it to be done to his taste before making a raid on us?
5602	Are you sure there is n''t?
5602	As big as the Hudson or Fulton?
5602	As much what?
5602	Aw, what would you do?
5602	Because they would n''t get enough swag to make it worth while,answered Jack,"Swag?"
5602	Before breakfast?
5602	Better put out a sentinel, had n''t you?
5602	But how did it happen?
5602	But how did you get here?
5602	But how did you get out of the tree?
5602	But how do you know that Rae did it?
5602	But truly, Geraid,asked Donald,"how are we doing?"
5602	But what about the tools?
5602	But what do you do when that is gone?
5602	But what for?
5602	But what has become of Pepper?
5602	But what has that got to do with the coins?
5602	But what has that got to do with the present excitement?
5602	But what is it?
5602	But where could he have gone?
5602	But why did they need to make such a mystery of it?
5602	But, how can you see all that?
5602	Call the room?
5602	Can we help you in any way?
5602	Can you help us to find it?
5602	Can you tell me,persisted Dick,"what kind of rows never come singly?"
5602	Can you tie them?
5602	Come now, Gerald,pleaded Jack,"tell us how we are doing?"
5602	Did any of you pick it up?
5602	Did he have a dog with him?
5602	Did n''t I tell you there was something back of this monkey business?
5602	Did they get very much?
5602	Did we scare you?
5602	Did you ever see such a fool trick as that? 5602 Did you know I was up a tree?
5602	Did you say you were looking for me?
5602	Did you think it was a good time to take a row?
5602	Do I make myself comprehensible?
5602	Do n''t you lock your door when you go out?
5602	Do n''t you think anybody has any right on the river but you? 5602 Do you know we have been hunting all over for you?"
5602	Do you know what they are?
5602	Do you know why?
5602	Do you mean to scatter papers?
5602	Do you think I am going to be left out of this?
5602	Do you think he meant our shell?
5602	Do you think it could have bitten him?
5602	Do you think so?
5602	Do you think that they came from around here?
5602	Do you think that they could have come in through the cellar?
5602	Do you think they could have carried him off?
5602	Do you think we have any chance against them?
5602	Do you think you will be safe now?
5602	Do you want to see him?
5602	Does he carry malice like that?
5602	Don?
5602	Find any more?
5602	For what? 5602 For what?"
5602	Found something more?
5602	Found something?
5602	Giving me some of my own advice, are n''t you? 5602 H- h- how did you g- get into the boat, Gerald?"
5602	Hare and hounds?
5602	Have you a doctor on board?
5602	Have you any name in mind?
5602	Have you any reason to think that they know anything about it?
5602	Have you got any dues, Sherlock?
5602	He could n''t very well be all over at once, could he? 5602 He is the son of the janitor at the bank,"replied Rand,"and--""Anything wrong about him?"
5602	How about Mohicans?
5602	How are we going to get in?
5602	How are we going?
5602	How can you manage that?
5602	How did they get in?
5602	How did they get in?
5602	How did you get down here?
5602	How did you make out?
5602	How do you know?
5602	How do you know?
5602	How do you make that out?
5602	How far is it?
5602	How in the world could Nellie get here?
5602	How is it, Don?
5602	How is that?
5602	How is that?
5602	How is that?
5602	How long do you think it will take you to get there and back?
5602	How long since these windows have been opened?
5602	How shall we do it?
5602	How should I know?
5602	How was that?
5602	How would you like to take a look at it?
5602	I wonder what he has got now?
5602	I wonder what it means?
5602	I wonder what next? 5602 I wonder what they are cooking there?
5602	I wonder who he could have been?
5602	I wonder who it could have been, and what they were after?
5602	I- i- it''s a beauty, ai n''t it?
5602	In what?
5602	Is he now?
5602	Is it like this?
5602	Is it really you, Pepper?
5602	Is it?
5602	Is n''t it time for a feast and a war dance or something?
5602	Is n''t that rather a sweeping condemnation, Randolph?
5602	Is n''t there a story that goes with that?
5602	Is she alive?
5602	Is that better?
5602	Is that fair?
5602	Is that your house above here?
5602	It does, eh?
5602	It must have been that way,agreed Jack,"but where did they get this key?
5602	Let me see,continued the colonel musingly,"how does number four go?"
5602	Like they do with a clam bake?
5602	Looking for clues?
5602	Looking for news, as usual, eh, Jack? 5602 More mysteries, Jack?"
5602	Not if they had a key?
5602	Now that you have agreed upon a name,continued the colonel,"what do you say to having a real Scout dinner in the woods?"
5602	Now, how many red and how many white stripes?
5602	Now, which way shall I go?
5602	Now, who said anything about trouble?
5602	Now, who will volunteer to carry it to Highpoint?
5602	Now,called Rand, when they had landed,"who wants to be cook?
5602	Now,said Rand, when Donald had finished the reading,"shall we go ahead?"
5602	Now,went on Mr. Whilden,"is n''t there something I can do for you?"
5602	Of Monkey Raes?
5602	Of course you have,admitted Donald,"but do you know what it is?"
5602	Really and truly?
5602	Really?
5602	Right now, Pepper?
5602	S- s- say,went on Pepper,"how did that fight come out?
5602	Said anything to them about it?
5602	Say, Pepper, ai n''t you hungry?
5602	Say, what time is it? 5602 See anything of Monkey lately?"
5602	See anything of them?
5602	Seen or heard anything?
5602	Shall I run over and see?
5602	Shall I so report?
5602	Shall we follow him?
5602	Shall we follow them?
5602	Shure, an''phat mischief are ye''s plotting now?
5602	Smoke, where?
5602	Study them a little,suggested the colonel;"is n''t there any difference between them?"
5602	Sure of that?
5602	Sure of that?
5602	Sure there ai n''t anybody''round?
5602	T- that you, Gerald?
5602	Tell the colonel?
5602	That is possible, is n''t it?
5602	That seems right, too,assented the judge,"but what do you make of it?"
5602	That''s one thing; anything else?
5602	The Oneidas used to roam about here, did n''t they?
5602	The first American flag was made in Philadelphia by Betsy Ross, in 1775, was it not?
5602	Then, when did the stars and stripes become the national flag?
5602	There is n''t any one around, is there?
5602	There were other flags, too, were n''t there?
5602	They are going to do what?
5602	They certainly made junk of it,remarked Rand;"how did they do it?"
5602	Think you would know them again?
5602	Tired?
5602	To change the subject, what about uniforms?
5602	Very good,commended the colonel,"and now about the knots?"
5602	Very well,agreed Rand,"what do you say, Jack?"
5602	W- w- what is it?
5602	Want him to invite you to go yachting?
5602	Want to indulge your savage instincts and live in a wigwam?
5602	Was any one with him?
5602	Was n''t just like it, was it?
5602	Was there a man with them?
5602	Well, Pepper?
5602	Well, boys, what do you say?
5602	Well, what about him?
5602	Well, what about it?
5602	Well,began Pepper as soon as they were fairly inside the house,"did n''t I hear somebody say breakfast?"
5602	Well,said the colonel when, a little later, the dinner had been eaten to the last scrap,"how do you like Scout fare?"
5602	Well?
5602	Were there any more?
5602	What Indians were in this section?
5602	What are we going to do now?
5602	What are you going to do, Rand?
5602	What are you talking about?
5602	What are you trying to do, yourself?
5602	What did I tell you?
5602	What did they get?
5602	What did they say?
5602	What did you know?
5602	What do we have to be examined in?
5602	What do you expect to find, Jack?
5602	What do you make of that?
5602	What do you say, Don?
5602	What do you say, Jack?
5602	What do you think he was doing with them, using them for an aeroplane?
5602	What do you think he was trying to do?
5602	What do you want with a stove?
5602	What do you want?
5602	What does it mean with the Union down?
5602	What does it remind you of?
5602	What does?
5602	What for, Pepper?
5602	What for?
5602	What for?
5602	What has Master Tompkins been doing lately?
5602	What has become of Gerald?
5602	What have you been doing,cried Pepper, who was waiting for them on the landing,"fishing?"
5602	What have you been reading lately?
5602	What have you got there, Rand?
5602	What have you got there?
5602	What in the world were you doing here?
5602	What is he after now?
5602	What is it now, Jack?
5602	What is it now, hide and seek, or has Gerald been losing himself?
5602	What is it now?
5602	What is it this time, addition or multiplication?
5602	What is it, Tige, old boy?
5602	What is it, then, Donald, if it is n''t mortal?
5602	What is it, then?
5602	What is it,went on the colonel,"a game of hide and seek?"
5602	What is it?
5602	What is it?
5602	What is that you have there, Rand?
5602	What is that?
5602	What is the difference between them?
5602	What is the first thing to do?
5602	What is the matter with him?
5602	What is the matter with him?
5602	What is the matter with it?
5602	What is the matter with me?
5602	What is the matter, Gerald?
5602	What is the matter?
5602	What kind of things?
5602	What made you think of having Gerald join us, Jack?
5602	What man?
5602	What objection is there to our thinking?
5602	What shall we call it?
5602	What shall we do about it?
5602	What shall we do if they come?
5602	What shall we do next?
5602	What time did he start?
5602	What took you down there tonight?
5602	What was he after?
5602	What was he like, did you see him?
5602	What was it like?
5602	What was that like?
5602	What was that?
5602	What would he be doing away off there?
5602	What would he want to do that for?
5602	What''s on your mind now, Rand?
5602	What''s that?
5602	What''s the matter with Uncas?
5602	What''s your scheme, Pepper?
5602	What, against?
5602	Whatcher''fraid of?
5602	When do I go?
5602	Where are you going in such a hurry?
5602	Where are you?
5602	Where away?
5602	Where away?
5602	Where did all these stories come from?
5602	Where did you get it?
5602	Where did you learn all these things, Jack?
5602	Where do you see that?
5602	Where does it go now?
5602	Where has she gone?
5602	Where have you been? 5602 Where in the world have n''t I been?"
5602	Where in the world have you been?
5602	Where is he?
5602	Where will we meet?
5602	Which way did he go?
5602	Which way did the sound come from?
5602	Which way do you want to go?
5602	Who are you?
5602	Who are?
5602	Who did it?
5602	Who does?
5602	Who is he?
5602	Who owns her?
5602	Who said anything about roses?
5602	Who was the man with them?
5602	Who were they?
5602	Who would he get to join it?
5602	Who?
5602	Who?
5602	Why ca n''t we be first class?
5602	Why could n''t they get in through a window?
5602	Why did n''t you do it and get rid of him?
5602	Why do n''t you cook some more?
5602	Why not, Pepper?
5602	Why not?
5602	Why not?
5602	Why not?
5602	Why should n''t they be here as well as anywhere?
5602	Why tenderfoot?
5602	Why too late?
5602	Why, Pepper?
5602	Why, boys, what are you doing here?
5602	Why, do n''t you want it?
5602	Why, hello, Win,said Rand;"what were you trying to do, play spook?"
5602	Why,asked Jack,"there''s enough, ai n''t there?"
5602	Why?
5602	Wo n''t you shake hands with me, all around?
5602	Would n''t it be fine?
5602	You ca n''t all go,decided Rand;"how shall we settle it?"
5602	You do n''t think that these boys had anything to do with it, do you?
5602	You do n''t think that they came in that way, do you?
5602	You have n''t seen anything of him, have you?
5602	You have read of the English archers and their famous long- bows, have n''t you?
5602	You mean a wind bag, do n''t you?
5602	Ai n''t there enough police?"
5602	Any of you want to go?"
5602	Anybody got a match?"
5602	Anything new about the robbing of Judge Taylor''s office the other night?"
5602	But what has that got to do with Gerald?"
5602	But who dropped them and how did they happen along here?"
5602	But, speaking of clams, which would you sooner do or go a- fishing?"
5602	But, speaking of curious things, what do you suppose Monkey Rae was doing with that horse and wagon?"
5602	CHAPTER IV UP THE RIVER"Are you all ready?"
5602	CHAPTER VI THE ENEMY MAKES A RAID"You think we had better stop and see if we can catch any more fish before we go ashore?"
5602	CHAPTER VII THE COLONEL"What''s the matter, boys?"
5602	CHAPTER XVI WHERE WAS PEPPER?
5602	CHAPTER XX A NIGHT ALARM"Who''s there?"
5602	CHAPTER XXI A SURPRISE"W- W- WHAT was that?"
5602	Ca n''t ye hit up a bit?"
5602	Can you come alongside?"
5602	Can you tell us when the first Union flag was made?"
5602	Do n''t you think it would be a good plan to throw out a picket to keep guard?"
5602	Do n''t you think we have fish enough?"
5602	Do n''t you want to go along?"
5602	Do you know anything about these tools, Dick?"
5602	Do you think there is any need of it?"
5602	Giving three blasts of her whistle as a farewell salute the Dart resumed her course up the river,"Who were the boys?"
5602	Had n''t we better put on some more?"
5602	Have you any plans, Colonel?"
5602	Hello, what now?"
5602	Holding out a coin he had found, he added:"What do you make of it?"
5602	How do you spell it?"
5602	How is it?"
5602	How''s this for a reply?"
5602	I wonder if the boys are waiting for me to return?
5602	I wonder what it means?"
5602	I wonder,"with a look at his clothes,"if I could n''t get a job somewhere as a scarecrow?"
5602	Is there any hope for her, Doctor?"
5602	Is there any more to it?"
5602	Is this an official visit?"
5602	Let''s see, there are four of you here?"
5602	Now, I wonder what is going on here?"
5602	Now, how am I going to get out of this?
5602	Of its origin and how it came into being?"
5602	Shall I let go the anchor, Rand?"
5602	They drove the wedges in alongside of the door and burst it open,""But did n''t that make a good deal of noise?"
5602	Think you own the whole place, do n''t you?"
5602	WHERE WAS PEPPER?
5602	Want to see it?
5602	What are you talking about?"
5602	What are you trying to do?"
5602	What did you tell us this time?"
5602	What do you say, Gerald?"
5602	What do you say, Jack?"
5602	What do you say, boys, do n''t you think we ought to see him safe home?"
5602	What do you think about it, Don?"
5602	What do you think you are going to do, get up a banquet?
5602	What is it?"
5602	What kind of a name do you want?"
5602	What was that way?"
5602	What was the matter this morning-- breakfast late?"
5602	What yer''fraid of?
5602	What''s ail the noise about?"
5602	What''s the latest in Creston?"
5602	What''s the trouble, the enemy been making an attack?"
5602	Where did you find it?"
5602	Where?"
5602	Which road are you going to take?"
5602	Which way did he go?"
5602	Which way did you go?"
5602	Who are you?"
5602	Whose barn is being painted now?"
5602	Whose horse and wagon was it?"
5602	Written up yesterday''s story yet?"
5602	You know what you have to do?"
5602	You said, Judge, there was some talk about these boys; what is it?"
5602	asked Gerald;"and phat is he up to now?"
5602	asked Gerald;"and where did you hide yourself?"
5602	asked Jack, who had been eying the coin Rand had tossed;"something new?"
5602	asked Pepper;"any more objections?"
5602	asked Rand,"trying to put two and two together?"
5602	asked the judge;"what is it?"
5602	called the boy again;"who are you?"
5602	cried Jack in astonishment;"where did you come from?"
5602	cried Pepper when Rand finished,"there''s a whole lot to learn, ai n''t there?
5602	cried Pepper;"what do you think I am-- a pig?"
5602	cried Pepper;"what is it?"
5602	cried Rand,"you''ll do what?
5602	criticized Donald,"what would anybody in their senses want to steal papers for?"
5602	demanded Pepper;"what''s them?"
5602	exclaimed Pepper at length,"what is the matter with stopping here?"
5602	exclaimed Rand,"do I hear aright?
5602	exclaimed the colonel;"about whom?"
5602	exclaimed the judge,"but how in the world could any one get up to this window?"
5602	he said,''ai n''t you the man that told me there was plenty of hunting around here?''
5602	he shouted to the youthful driver,"run over us?"
5602	he shouted,"where are you?"
5602	questioned Donald,"hunt bears?"
5602	said Pepper,"what''s that?"
5602	shouted Don;"did we do it in that?"
5602	shouted Rand as the boats swept apart:"what are you trying to do, run us down?"
5602	where are you?"
5602	where?"
17227	''But what have we to give?'' 17227 A friend like that is worth knowin'', eh?"
17227	A funny one, eh?
17227	A sudden what?
17227	A what?
17227	About Whyn, eh? 17227 After the logs?"
17227	Ah, is that so, dear?
17227	Ah, so that''s it?
17227	All the way from where?
17227	All who?
17227	Am I a pauper, grandma?
17227	Am I the boy? 17227 And I should n''t be in the Poor House?"
17227	And did she?
17227	And did she?
17227	And did the scouts give that money of their own free will?
17227	And do you mean to tell me that cranky old Captain Josh is looking after the scouts?
17227	And do you remember, Martha, what plans we made for his future? 17227 And had he?"
17227	And how is Miss Arabella?
17227	And may we have the tender?
17227	And my father and mother are not bad, and I would n''t be ashamed of them if I saw them?
17227	And so ye say he did n''t tell ye anything?
17227	And so you have never seen her?
17227	And so you think I should do the same, eh?
17227	And that she would naturally take my cow with her?
17227	And that was his room, was it?
17227	And the motor- boat?
17227	And those were his books which he had when he was a little boy?
17227	And what is that?
17227	And what''s that?
17227	And where is he now?
17227	And who is that?
17227	And why not, Miss Bella?
17227	And why not? 17227 And will you write to your mother?"
17227	And ye wo n''t feel hurt?
17227	And you are not Anna Royanna, after all?
17227	And you will hurry, Rod?
17227	And you will let me have the cow without any fuss?
17227	And you wo n''t go to the concert?
17227	And you''re quite willing to let us collect the logs?
17227	And your grandfather never used any of the money your mother sent to pay for your board and clothing?
17227	Are you ill, Miss Royanna?
17227	Are you ready to go?
17227	Are you sorry?
17227	Are you sure?
17227	Are you sure?
17227	Are you sure?
17227	Are you the woman?
17227	Better than a fairy tale?
17227	But Captain Josh never comes to church, Daniel, so what will people say?
17227	But I know it, so what''s the use of pretending? 17227 But I suppose he told you a whole lot more, though?"
17227	But am I a pauper, grandma?
17227	But are you not a little anxious, Daniel?
17227	But did anybody ever find gold here, captain?
17227	But did he teach you how to help people who cut themselves, or break their arms, or if some one falls into the water, how to bring him back to life?
17227	But did n''t we give the cops a slip, though? 17227 But how will we do it?"
17227	But how would Whyn like that?
17227	But maybe he wo n''t charge as much for a girl, especially when it''s Whyn?
17227	But she still takes an interest in what the scouts are doin'', does she not?
17227	But suppose ye had the money, and could go, would it make ye happy?
17227	But tell me, how old are you?
17227	But the scouts wo n''t have enough money, will they?
17227	But what about Whyn, Jimmy? 17227 But what about the dinner on the boat?"
17227	But what about the prize, Rod?
17227	But what about the prize, and the motorboat?
17227	But what about the prize?
17227	But what about your dignity, Joshua?
17227	But what are we going to do?
17227	But what are we to do?
17227	But what are ye going to do?
17227	But what did Rodney do, captain?
17227	But what did you say such things about my nose for, tell me that?
17227	But what shall I do without her?
17227	But what will people think of your going to such a place to sing for a few country people?
17227	But where is your scout suit?
17227	But who''s going to ask her?
17227	But why should he take the key, Martha?
17227	But ye''ll be sure now, dead certain, wo n''t ye, doc?
17227	But, say, do grandad and grandma know about it?
17227	Ca n''t afford what?
17227	Ca n''t we have something bigger than that? 17227 Ca n''t you force the door, Daniel?"
17227	Can it be possible?
17227	Can we do it, captain?
17227	Can you swim, Captain Josh?
17227	Captain Josh,and the parson''s voice was stern,"when you put your cow into my pasture you knew that she would come back, did n''t you?"
17227	D''ye hear me?
17227	D''ye mean the wee lad which was left at yer door t''other night?
17227	D''ye think this is the right way to treat me, parson?
17227	De''yez think that I''m goin''to blab all about our good- turn? 17227 Did I ever say anything about you?"
17227	Did n''t I do it right?
17227	Did n''t we do that chap up fine? 17227 Did n''t ye hear me?
17227	Did n''t you ever hear of the scouts?
17227	Did n''t you ever hear of them before, grandad?
17227	Did n''t you know that she would break down almost any fence?
17227	Did she send you after me?
17227	Did they ever find out who did the trick?
17227	Did they?
17227	Did ye bring the guns with ye?
17227	Did ye pray this mornin''that ye might find her, parson?
17227	Did you ask her?
17227	Did you ever swim across the ocean, captain?
17227	Did you read all of those books when you were little, Grandma?
17227	Did you see him?
17227	Did you suggest it to them?
17227	Do I look like a dead person?
17227	Do it? 17227 Do n''t want him to do what?"
17227	Do they mean to take their money and use it upon me?
17227	Do what right?
17227	Do what?
17227	Do what?
17227	Do you hear me?
17227	Do you know anything about that key?
17227	Do you mean that Rodney was fighting Sammie Dunker?
17227	Do you really wish to give up all claim to the prize?
17227	Do you suppose she''d come?
17227	Do you suppose they think of their little baby sturgeons, and how they are getting along?
17227	Do you think Captain Josh knows, grandma?
17227	Do you think that you can make out alone with him, Martha? 17227 Does n''t your head trouble you too much to bother with it now?"
17227	Does she? 17227 Does the captain know that?"
17227	Ever been in the water?
17227	Find somethin''queer there, eh?
17227	For pity''s sake, how do you know who I am?
17227	Gittin''tired, and want to go home?
17227	Give it up, eh?
17227	Go after that policeman, see? 17227 Go where, Rodney?
17227	Got an anchor on board?
17227	Grandma,he began,"what is a pauper?"
17227	H''m, is that so? 17227 H''m, is that so?
17227	H''m, is that so? 17227 Has anything happened to him?
17227	Have n''t I heard it on all sides? 17227 Have you lived long with your grandparents?"
17227	Have you seen the key of the church, Martha?
17227	Have you told him your secret?
17227	Have you, grandma? 17227 He did, did he?
17227	Hello, what''s wrong?
17227	Hey, d''ye hear that?
17227	Hey, what''s wrong?
17227	Hillcrest, did you say?
17227	Ho, ho, is n''t that funny?
17227	Ho, ho, that''s a sudden jump, is n''t it, parson?
17227	How are ye feelin'', little one?
17227	How d''ye know that, young man? 17227 How d''ye know that?"
17227	How d''ye like it?
17227	How did ye hear that?
17227	How did you hear about him?
17227	How did you know that was my name?
17227	How do they do it?
17227	How is everything going, Whyn?
17227	How is she this morning, captain? 17227 How is the boy?"
17227	How is yer kid?
17227	How many of yez are there?
17227	How much do you think she''d want?
17227	How much do you think we will make, Whyn?
17227	How much money will we have when the logs are sold?
17227	How much will it take?
17227	How old do you suppose he is?
17227	How would a smoke suit you?
17227	How''s Rod to- day, cap''n?
17227	How''s business?
17227	How''s she gittin''along?
17227	How?
17227	I ca n''t, eh? 17227 I give my consent, and I feel sure that you will, wo n''t you?"
17227	I have the money, and is n''t that enough?
17227	If he can do such a terrible thing now, what will he do when he grows up? 17227 Is grandad here?"
17227	Is it dead?
17227	Is it right that the girl should die without an effort being made to save her life?
17227	Is it something else the scouts have to do?
17227	Is n''t it scriptural? 17227 Is n''t it strange that Jimmy should have been helped twice by our troop?
17227	Is n''t it too bad,Rod suddenly began,"that Whyn ca n''t hear her sing?"
17227	Is that all they did?
17227	Is that so? 17227 Is that so?"
17227	Is that the wish of the other troops?
17227	Is that what you do, Captain Josh, when you''re happy?
17227	Is that your brother''s name?
17227	Is the book there?
17227	Is there a doctor anywhere near, boy?
17227	Is there any chance of our drifting ashore, do you think?
17227	Is there anything ye kin do fer him?
17227	It might be the beginning, though, Daniel, who can tell? 17227 It''s a terrible night, is n''t it?"
17227	It''s for Whyn, and who would n''t do anything for her? 17227 Jimmy, d''ye tell me that it''s yer own money?"
17227	Jimmy, did you say? 17227 Just a minute, Rod,"and the woman laid her hand lightly on his shoulder,"how would you like to go with me in the car to Hillcrest tomorrow?"
17227	Kin I swim? 17227 Kin ye swim, lad?"
17227	Look here, Rod, what d''ye think I am? 17227 May I be your daughter, then?"
17227	May I go, grandad?
17227	May I tell Captain Josh?
17227	May I tell Whyn? 17227 Me?
17227	Mercy, d''ye ask?
17227	Miss Arabella''s got a home of her own, has n''t she?
17227	Miss Arabella,he began,"have you fainted?"
17227	Miss Royanna, did you say?
17227	Much nicer than the steamer, eh? 17227 My cow, eh?"
17227	No? 17227 No?"
17227	Not my funeral, eh? 17227 Not too strong, eh?
17227	Nothing, sir, nothing, only----"Only what?
17227	Now, what have yez to say about yer actions here?
17227	Ob, nothin'', except that if the wee chap has to go without his milk because I have Brindle, it makes all the difference in the world, see?
17227	Of me?
17227	Oh, did n''t I tell ye? 17227 Oh, do you think so, Martha?"
17227	Oh, do you think they would?
17227	Oh, is that what''s the matter?
17227	Oh, is that you, Josh Britt?
17227	Oh, may I?
17227	Oh, that was what you did it for, was it?
17227	Oh, will you, grandad?
17227	Oh, will you?
17227	Oh, you queer boy, what did you do that for?
17227	Or are ye only foolin''me?
17227	Run where?
17227	Say? 17227 Shall I write to the city to find out?"
17227	Shall we go to- day?
17227	She did, eh? 17227 So he said that, did he?"
17227	So that''s the reason ye never got a man, eh? 17227 So ye wo n''t go?"
17227	So ye''re interested in Whyn, eh?
17227	So ye''ve heard all about it, eh?
17227	So you say that the girl ca n''t get better unless she goes to a specialist?
17227	So you want to see me?
17227	Suppose I did say that, what''s wrong about it?
17227	Suppose she should be a boy, after all?
17227	Suppose the baby is n''t a girl after all, dear?
17227	The Bishop?
17227	The other scouts will have their suits given to them, and why should n''t you? 17227 There, will that suit you?"
17227	Thought I had run away with the horse, did you? 17227 Too bad, is n''t it, that I''ve got to keep it?
17227	Very important?
17227	W- what d''ye s''pose it is?
17227	W- what did I do?
17227	Want some more, eh?
17227	Want to telephone, eh?
17227	Was he? 17227 Was he?"
17227	Was n''t it a funny way to do a good turn?
17227	We are old friends, are we not? 17227 We can do without that, eh, boys?"
17227	We little expected to have our dinner served by such a noted person, and to be waited upon by a worthy sea- captain, did we, sir?
17227	We seem to be the only persons astir, eh?
17227	We shall teach him to call me that, eh? 17227 Well, Rod, do you think he cared much that I was hurt?"
17227	Well, did ye see Dodge?
17227	Well, what are you after now?
17227	Well, what can you expect of a pauper child?
17227	Well, what d''ye want us to do? 17227 Well, what of it?
17227	Well, what of it?
17227	Well, why ca n''t ye go?
17227	What are they?
17227	What are you crying for, Grandma?
17227	What are you going to call the boy?
17227	What are you going to write?
17227	What are you talking about, dad?
17227	What are you thinking about?
17227	What brought you here?
17227	What business is it of yourn, anyway, Josh Britt? 17227 What d''ye mean?"
17227	What d''ye want me to do with him, then?
17227	What d''ye want me to do, man?
17227	What d''ye want me to say?
17227	What did he mean?
17227	What do they want?
17227	What do you know?
17227	What do you mean by a''good turn''?
17227	What do you mean, captain?
17227	What do you mean?
17227	What do you mean?
17227	What do you want, my lad?
17227	What does a horse amount to when the heart is affected?
17227	What has that to do with it?
17227	What has the missionary meeting to do with my cow?
17227	What in the world took him there to- night? 17227 What is it now, Daniel?"
17227	What is it, Joshua?
17227	What is it, dear?
17227	What is it, lad?
17227	What is it, little one?
17227	What is it?
17227	What is it?
17227	What is it?
17227	What is it?
17227	What kind do you want to- night?
17227	What kind of a story d''yez want?
17227	What makes her worry?
17227	What makes you ask such a question, dear? 17227 What makes you cry, grandma?"
17227	What man?
17227	What money?
17227	What parade?
17227	What shall we call her, Martha?
17227	What stopped her?
17227	What warning?
17227	What was the word?
17227	What wedding?
17227	What''s a boy scout?
17227	What''s a specialist?
17227	What''s all this about, Ben?
17227	What''s her name?
17227	What''s that?
17227	What''s that?
17227	What''s that?
17227	What''s the matter with him?
17227	What''s the matter with you, Miss Arabella?''
17227	What''s the matter, dear?
17227	What''s the matter?
17227	What''s the meanin''of all this?
17227	What''s the meaning of this?
17227	What''s to hinder ye?
17227	What''s up now?
17227	What''s up, lad?
17227	What''s wrong with ye, lad?
17227	What''s wrong with you, Bill Tobin?
17227	What''s wrong with you, anyway? 17227 What''s wrong, Tom?"
17227	What''s wrong, parson?
17227	What, in the_ Roaring Bess_?
17227	What, is it all there, grandad?
17227	What, so soon? 17227 What, so soon?"
17227	What, take the money we''ve earned?
17227	When is she coming, grandad?
17227	When will the book come?
17227	Where are you going to send your berries, Rodney?
17227	Where are you?
17227	Where did ye git it?
17227	Where is he?
17227	Where is it, then?
17227	Where is this concert to take place?
17227	Where''s the stuff?
17227	Where''s your father?
17227	Who are the other scouts?
17227	Who are the scouts?
17227	Who are you, anyway?
17227	Who do you suppose left it here?
17227	Who is it? 17227 Who made it?"
17227	Who said anything about paying?
17227	Who told ye?
17227	Who?
17227	Whose is it?
17227	Whose little boy was he, Grandma?
17227	Why ca n''t ye answer a straight question?
17227	Why could n''t you go with him, Phil?
17227	Why did he call you a pauper, dear?
17227	Why did n''t he?
17227	Why did n''t she do it?
17227	Why did n''t she stay there?
17227	Why did n''t ye bring some one along who knows the river? 17227 Why did n''t ye tie her?"
17227	Why do n''t ye go fer the doctor, then?
17227	Why do n''t ye write that letter?
17227	Why do n''t you go, then?
17227	Why do you say''it,''Daniel? 17227 Why does n''t she come to see me, then?"
17227	Why not hold the wedding in the rectory, then?
17227	Why not, lad?
17227	Why should she come for me now? 17227 Why will it take that much?"
17227	Why, Rod, what''s the matter?
17227	Why, did you hear me? 17227 Why, what about Sammie?"
17227	Why, what makes ye think so, parson?
17227	Why, what makes you think that, Rodney?
17227	Why, what''s up now?
17227	Why, what''s wrong now?
17227	Why, what''s wrong with Rod?
17227	Why, what''s wrong with that?
17227	Why, where are you going, Daniel?
17227	Why? 17227 Will she be well then?"
17227	Will she sail?
17227	Will she, eh? 17227 Will you come to see me again?"
17227	Will you come with me to the hotel?
17227	Will you please tell me what is the matter?
17227	Will you please----"And you think he cared?
17227	Will you write at once?
17227	Will you write him a letter, grandad?
17227	Will you write to me, dear?
17227	Wo n''t you have a cup of tea, Daniel?
17227	Would it do any good, doctor?
17227	Would n''t they have been glad to take her in? 17227 Would n''t you like to go with your mother?
17227	Would n''t, it seem too, much like beggin''?
17227	Would she come?
17227	Would ye like to know, parson?
17227	Ye do n''t? 17227 Ye do, eh?
17227	Ye will, will ye? 17227 Ye would?
17227	Ye''d better ask''what''s down?'' 17227 Ye''ve got the money, ye say?"
17227	Yes, but where? 17227 Yes, why not?
17227	Yes, yes, but----"And you think you can find him?
17227	Yez have, eh? 17227 You did n''t do all this yourself, did you, captain?"
17227	You did n''t imagine that I would run away with your horse, did you, madam? 17227 You did n''t?"
17227	You have had great troubles to- day, have you not?
17227	You wo n''t tell?
17227	You''re pleased, too, are you, to know that we''ve found out that you are a boy? 17227 You?"
17227	A saint?
17227	About what?"
17227	And Rod never told ye?"
17227	And say, captain, would n''t you do a great deal for Whyn?"
17227	And so we''ve got to wait, have we?
17227	And suppose the captain does n''t come to church, is that any reason why a little boy should shun him?
17227	And what about her great interest in Rod, and that closing piece which she had sung in such a pathetic manner?
17227	And, say, d''ye believe in God?"
17227	And, say, doc, ye''ll bring him around, wo n''t ye?"
17227	Are you glad?"
17227	Are you my mother?
17227	Are you ready to go now?"
17227	But did n''t it prove the missionary''s words to be true:''Give, and ye''ll receive more in return?''
17227	But do you notice her name,''Anna Layor''?"
17227	But do you notice how good natured this baby is?
17227	But git on with that letter, will ye?"
17227	But how do you know of them?"
17227	But how is she this mornin''?"
17227	But is it right for a stranger to occupy this room?
17227	But may we see Miss Royanna?
17227	But say, captain, you have n''t seen anything of my cow, have you?"
17227	But that old shawl and those plain clothes do not look much like heavenly robes, do they?
17227	But the key, where is it?
17227	But we thought----""Oh, so yez thought, eh?
17227	But what are we goin''to do?
17227	But why did they go into the club- house instead of staying outside?
17227	But, Miss----""And did he look at me much with those splendid blue eyes?"
17227	But, say, Whyn, have you seen the bear''s skin?
17227	Can the scouts do that?"
17227	Could I not sleep on the sofa downstairs?
17227	Could it be possible that this was the same girl he had seen all drenched with water the day before?
17227	Could it be possible, she asked herself, that this is he?
17227	Could it be possible, she asked herself, that this was his room, just as he had left it years before?
17227	D''ye s''pose I''d be prowlin''around at this time of the mornin''if it was n''t?"
17227	D''ye think she''d gee such bushies as you?
17227	Did n''t the doctors say that I ca n''t get better unless I go to a specialist?"
17227	Did n''t the only chick they ever had go wild, an''him a parson''s son, too?
17227	Did n''t you put that key down my neck, which gave me such a terrible shock?"
17227	Did you ever try?"
17227	Do n''t you know the Sanders well enough to realise what they would do and say?
17227	Do n''t you suppose I know a girl from a boy?"
17227	Do n''t you understand?
17227	Do n''t you understand?
17227	Do you for a moment imagine that a mother who is heartless enough to leave her baby with total strangers, will come for him?
17227	Do you know what day this is?"
17227	Do you mind?"
17227	Does he ever eat people?"
17227	Does n''t he look like it?"
17227	For me?"
17227	Got a bed ready?"
17227	Has he been troubled long?
17227	Have n''t I been tryin''to tell ye that fer the last five minutes?"
17227	Have n''t they been planning for a''church wedding''for months?
17227	Have n''t you anything for me to do, Miss Arabella?
17227	Have n''t you told us that you did n''t like collecting drift- logs?
17227	Have some tea, sir?"
17227	Have you come to give a hand?"
17227	Have you had trouble there before?"
17227	He did n''t know about my mother, did he?"
17227	He does n''t want ye to know his name, and will it worry ye much if I do n''t tell ye?"
17227	He''s corporal, and----""Old Ezry Perkins''son, eh?
17227	Hello, what light''s that up yonder?"
17227	How can I learn, grandad?"
17227	How could she sleep in such a place, with so many conflicting emotions agitating her heart and mind?
17227	How could they part with him?
17227	How could you think of doing such a thing?"
17227	How do you expect to earn yours?"
17227	How do you like the name, Martha?"
17227	How far is it from the city?"
17227	How would it do to get a woman in occasionally to assist with the work, as the baby will take so much of your time?"
17227	How would it do to wait until then?"
17227	I do n''t know my mother, and how can I love some one I have never seen?
17227	I suppose you''ll be at the big parade this evening?"
17227	I want yez to do more than other people kin, or what''s the use of havin''a troop?
17227	I''m going to give you your suit, see?"
17227	If she wanted me very much, why did n''t she come before?"
17227	If that was the way they always acted, was it any wonder that crimes were so frequent?
17227	If the famous singer was really the boy''s mother, why did she not say so?
17227	In there?"
17227	In what way, I''d like to know?
17227	Is it really true?"
17227	Is n''t it always the way when anything of special importance comes to the city?
17227	Is n''t it lucky that ye''re here to- night?
17227	Is n''t that funny?
17227	Is that all ye''ll give?"
17227	Is that so?"
17227	It ai n''t your funeral, is it?
17227	It''s beneath my dignity to go to school, but not fer you, see?"
17227	Marden?"
17227	Marden?"
17227	May be come again soon?"
17227	Maybe I shall call him Rod; would n''t that be nice?"
17227	Mrs. Britt exclaimed,"are you sick?
17227	Must he go through life handicapped?
17227	Must you leave me again?"
17227	Not goin''to steal chickens, are yez?
17227	Now, did n''t he?"
17227	Now, if you''d go to see Whyn that would be your good turn, see?"
17227	Now, what about dinner?
17227	Now, what d''yez think about that?"
17227	Oh, may I?"
17227	Other children had their fathers and mothers with them, and why was it that he had never seen his, and knew nothing about them?
17227	Perhaps the Lord has a hand in this, and who am I to interfere with His plans?
17227	Phil Dexter is going with his father to the city to- morrow, and why could n''t I go along with them?
17227	Rodney suits you better, eh?
17227	Say, Whyn,"and Rod lowered his voice,"I wish she was my mother; would n''t it be great?"
17227	Shall I bring them in?
17227	Shall I call on him on my way home, and tell him to come at once?"
17227	She had won fame and money, but what did they amount to when her only boy was a stranger to her, and knew not what it was to love his mother?
17227	So this was the outcome of it all?
17227	So----""And you do n''t consider my troubles important enough to listen to, eh?"
17227	Split the difference, eh?"
17227	Suppose he could not get home in time to take his part, what would Whyn and Captain Josh think, and how could they get along without him?
17227	Tell her a friend gave it, see?
17227	That''s it, eh?
17227	The missionary said night before last that we must pray if we expect to receive, did n''t he?"
17227	There must n''t be any talkin''or noise if we''re goin''to carry this thing through, see?"
17227	They are waiting----""And do you think he will come back, Rod?
17227	This is what people call a Christian land, is it?"
17227	Want to see her?"
17227	Was her boy away from her somewhere, and if she wanted him so much, why did n''t she go to see him?
17227	Was his dream really coming true?
17227	Was his mother coming to take him away?
17227	Was the princess laughing at him?
17227	Was there something which she wished to keep hidden?
17227	We''ve got money, and why should n''t we give it for Whyn''s sake?"
17227	We''ve got to git more money, that''s certain, and how are we to do it?"
17227	Well, how can she laugh and not be cross?"
17227	Were they ashamed to do so?
17227	Were they bad people?
17227	What are you afraid of?"
17227	What d''ye want to tell me about her?"
17227	What did he do, eh?
17227	What do the Royals know about the trainin''of a child?
17227	What do you mean?"
17227	What do you mean?"
17227	What do you mean?"
17227	What else could it be?
17227	What is it?"
17227	What made her feel so badly?
17227	What makes ye wise so mighty sudden?"
17227	What should he do?
17227	What should he say?
17227	What was his name?"
17227	What was that she was saying?
17227	What will Captain Josh do without the boys?
17227	What will Susie think?
17227	What will you give me for them?
17227	What will you take to settle?
17227	What would Whyn say when she saw her?
17227	What would he do?
17227	What''s the difference?"
17227	What''s the use of bringin''my gun when that thing''s along?"
17227	When did he tell you that?"
17227	Where did it come from?"
17227	Where is it to be held?"
17227	Where''s my oil- skins, Betsey?"
17227	Who could have sent it?
17227	Who else sent them scouts out there to bring my boy in but Him?
17227	Who else?"
17227	Whoever put such an idea into your head?"
17227	Why ca n''t ye knock in a proper manner?"
17227	Why did he say that I should go to the Poor House instead of living with decent people, and that I would n''t own my parents if I knew them?
17227	Why did n''t he take care of his scow?"
17227	Why did n''t ye take care of yer old scow?
17227	Why did they not come to see him?
17227	Why do n''t you go, Daniel?
17227	Why do n''t you say''her''?"
17227	Why should I not?
17227	Why should I?"
17227	Why should she come all the way to Hillcrest?
17227	Why should she die?
17227	Why should she have been so willing to come to St. John, when cities four to five times the size were clamouring for her?
17227	Why were the police so long in coming?
17227	Why, what else did he mean, then?
17227	Will it be for his good, do you think?"
17227	Will that do?"
17227	Will that do?"
17227	Will that do?"
17227	Will yez come?
17227	Will you read them to me sometimes?"
17227	With us next summer?"
17227	Wo n''t Captain Josh laugh when I tell him that?
17227	Wo n''t they shoot us down if we go near them?"
17227	Wo n''t you be glad to see her?"
17227	Wo n''t you need some help, dear?
17227	Wo n''t you tell me how you proved Mr. Dicer''s words to be true?"
17227	Worked fer him last year at the same job, eh?"
17227	Would Rod like to have her?
17227	Would Rod''s mother ask them to give up the boy?
17227	Would he always be looked upon as a waif, an ill- starred child, and in the eyes of the world, a pauper?
17227	Would he feel the same toward her?
17227	Would it make any change in him?
17227	Would n''t Whyn be surprised and delighted?"
17227	Would n''t it be great for us to make up a whole lot, say five hundred yards?
17227	Would n''t yez like to have it, eh?"
17227	Would n''t you like to go, dear?"
17227	Would she be willing to go all the way to Hillcrest to sing to a helpless girl?
17227	Would she have anything to say to him?
17227	Would she never be able to see the scouts again?
17227	Would the woman be willing to go?
17227	Would this marvellous woman listen to him?
17227	Would you like to see her?
17227	Ye do n''t know who yer father an''mother are, do ye?
17227	You always said it was beneath your dignity, did n''t you?"
17227	You can get another, ca n''t you?"
17227	You did n''t want to be called Deborah, Debbie, or Deb, did you?
17227	You have them in the church here every Christmas, do n''t you?"
17227	You said something about her tongue, did n''t you?
17227	You would do it for Whyn''s sake, would n''t you?"
17227	and Rodney clasped his hands together,"How was he killed, Grandma?"
17227	and how she lies so quietly in my lap, looking wonderingly into the fire?
17227	d''ye call me a fool?"
17227	have n''t ye heard?"
17227	have n''t you heard?"
17227	he wondered, and was that what Tom meant?
17227	one of the men demanded,"and how dare ye hold us up?
17227	she asked herself, for no fault of his own?
17227	to see me?"
17227	what are you standing there in the draught for?"
17227	what have ye got there?"
17227	you do n''t mean to go to law over this little matter, do you?"
