6459You''re certain?
6459And why?"
6459Any of you heard what Jim Bell''s doing in Blue Creek?"
6459Bell?"
6459Bell?"
6459But how far ahead?
6459But what could have become of them?

6459Do you s''pose that any man''ud be foolish enough to locate a rich mine an''then not file a claim to it?"
6459Does it meet with your approval?"
6459Evidently, then, he had been mounted at some time-- presumably recently, but where was his horse?
6459Frightened of what?"
6459From the bottom of the chassis Roy demanded:"Are we too late?"
6459He is--""Will you do what I tell you?"
6459Hot or cold?"
6459How so?"
6459Hyar,"he exclaimed, looking back at the horsemen behind him,"whar''s that dude Chick Berry?"
6459I wonder if that could be what-- what that Mongolian was regarding so closely?"
6459I wonder what he wants?"
6459If not--""If not senor--?"
6459Immediately after breakfast Mr. Bell called the boys aside and said:"How long will it take to get an aeroplane ready?"
6459Is there a storm coming?"
6459It is agreed, is it not, that not a word of our suspicions are to be breathed to the ladies?"
6459Now then, you rascal,"addressing the"romantic bandit,"who had scrambled to his feet,"where are the rest of Red Bill''s precious gang?"
6459Of what dear?"
6459Only Peggy remarked with withering scorn:"I think you might have waited till you were asked, do n''t you?"
6459Peggy, you do n''t think it was anything supernatural, do you?"
6459Say, boys, I wonder ef that''s what Jim Bell''s in Blue Creek fur?"
6459That''s plain enough, eh?"
6459There might be a train leaving within a reasonable time:"Can we get a train there?"
6459Want ter hear about it?"
6459Was it fancy, or as he switched abruptly about did he actually see a dark object duck behind a rock?

6459You understand?"
6459are you badly hurt, dear?"
6459drawled Bud, as his followers came loping up;"anything I kin do?
6459he demanded;"your sky bronco foundered?
6459inquired Mr. Bell,"you think he''d make an interesting study?"
6459what is the matter with the Senor Bell?"
33605A car, eh?
33605A dreadful fix? 33605 All ready behind?"
33605All ready?
33605And Roy, where is Roy?
33605And so this is the wonderful Golden Butterfly that you wrote to me about?
33605And so you are acting as chauffeur?
33605And suppose I wo n''t accept that offer?
33605And you were afraid of robbers holding you up?
33605Any answer?
33605At this rate we ought to be at the grounds in----But what was this?
33605But how in the world did you come to get in there?
33605But if that were so, why did Fanning fit up a shop out at Gid Gibbons''s place?
33605But what are you doing in town? 33605 But what of my securities in----and----and----?"
33605But where can we land?
33605But you, Peggy?
33605But, auntie,burst out Peggy, blankly,"does the man mean to say that there is nothing, absolutely nothing, on which we can realize anything?"
33605By the way, Morgan,the girl asked, suddenly,"has anything more been heard of the missing jewels?"
33605Ca n''t you delay the start for five minutes?
33605Can I come in?
33605Could what? 33605 Did what?"
33605Did you ever hear such a yarn in all your born days?
33605Do n''t they stop anywhere between here and the junction?
33605Do you mean you are actually building an aeroplane?
33605Do you think she can suspect anything?
33605Does he know you have the jewels?
33605Found out what''s the trouble, Roy?
33605From the clouds?
33605Gee, Roy, you mean it?
33605Go back with you? 33605 Good gracious, is that fashionable looking old man a hermit?"
33605Good gracious, what''s been happening?
33605Good gracious, whatever has happened?
33605Good morning, Fanning,said Jimsy, bottling up his temper at the other''s insulting manners,"can you give me a few minutes of private conversation?"
33605Good morning,he said, doffing his sombrero with a sweep and a flourish;"can I have a word with you?"
33605Had enough?
33605Have you looked everywhere for it?
33605Heard anything of Fanning Harding?
33605Here I am, sis,--what''s up?
33605How dare you say such things? 33605 How long does it take to get there?
33605How?
33605I believe that,said Peggy,"but what do you know about the disappearance of the diamonds?"
33605I guess that that sign gave you a kind of a start, eh?
33605I suppose that is why you have the horse and cart?
33605I tell you I''ll do nothing of the sort,the man was saying;"why should I go and own up that I''m a thief or the next thing to it?
33605I wonder if any one passed on this road while we were unconscious?
33605I wonder if he''ll enter for the prize?
33605I wonder who that can be so late?
33605I''ll never be able to make it in time without an automobile,moaned Roy to himself;"what shall I do?"
33605I''m getting there, ai n''t I?
33605Is that so?
33605Is your father very deeply implicated in the matter?
33605It makes no difference to you, does it?
33605It''s my-- our aeroplane,went on Roy;"who can be in it?
33605Just as you did that day at school when poor little Henry Willis was being beaten by that big bully Hank Jones?
33605Land o''Goshen, what''s that?
33605Look,cried Peggy suddenly,"is n''t that a small island below there?
33605Lost a wallet with jewelry in it, eh?
33605Maybe you know some one who is handsomer?
33605Mr. Bell, it''s Roy Prescott,he shouted;"can you get a rope and get me out?"
33605My dear Jess, whatever has happened?
33605My dear Roy,rejoined Peggy, with dignity,"do n''t you think that I am capable of taking care of myself?"
33605No, dear, not one word,she said;"is n''t it queer?
33605Not in the least,said Peggy, hastily, realizing that none of them had perhaps looked very cordial,"wo n''t you come in?"
33605Now, Mr. Harding,he concluded,"is there no way in which this matter can be straightened out?"
33605Now, then, Jeff, if you are ready will you get in?
33605Now, what could he be up to?
33605Oh, Roy, that''s it?
33605Oh, Roy, what has happened to you? 33605 Oh, Roy, what shall we do?"
33605Oh, doctor,cried Peggy, entreatingly,"ca n''t we persuade you to go back with us in the Golden Butterfly?"
33605Oh, is n''t that pretty?
33605Oh, then, you do go into town sometimes?
33605Oh, will it rise?
33605Oh, you do, eh? 33605 Oh, you mean the time you saw him in the air at night, the time we went to Washington?"
33605Oh, you poor dears,exclaimed Peggy,"and if you do n''t get there at that time?"
33605Say Peggy,spoke up Fan Harding, suddenly,"ai n''t you going to introduce me to your friends?
33605Say, Roy,he exclaimed,"you did n''t happen to put that jewel case in your pocket for safe keeping after the accident, did you?"
33605Say, who are you, and what are you doing with my aeroplane?
33605Shall I come with you?
33605So you''re trying to win out Jess Bancroft, are you?
33605So,he muttered,"that''s your scheme, is it?
33605That''s it,rejoined the boy proudly, lifting a bit of sacking from the contents of the opened crate,"is n''t it a beauty?"
33605There''s a train leaves Central Riverview junction at six, is n''t there?
33605Three minutes to starting time,cried Hal Homer anxiously;"where can Miss Prescott be?"
33605Trust to you to find Roy?
33605Trust to you?
33605Unless what?
33605Want me to take the helm?
33605Well, are you going to answer me?
33605Well, can you suggest any solution?
33605Well, doctor, how do you like it?
33605Well, here we are,exclaimed Roy, looking about him at the sylvan scene as they alighted;"and now what comes next?"
33605Well, may be you are and then again you may not be,was the Sandy Bay youngster''s cautious reply;"but how does it interest you?"
33605Well, what do you say?
33605Well, what if I do?
33605Well, what if I have?
33605Well, what would you say if I told you that that ai n''t Roy Prescott in the Golden Butterfly at all?
33605Wh- wh- when are we going up?
33605What a question, you goose?
33605What are you going to do now?
33605What are you going to do?
33605What can Fan Harding be doing with him?
33605What can have become of the jewels?
33605What can he be doing?
33605What did you see, my lad?
33605What do I mean?
33605What do you mean by saying''a lot depends on it,''girlie?
33605What do you mean, Roy? 33605 What do you mean?"
33605What do you mean?
33605What do you mean?
33605What do you mean?
33605What do you suppose they came to the island for?
33605What field did you come down in? 33605 What is it?
33605What is it?
33605What is the matter? 33605 What is the matter?"
33605What time did that aviator fellow say he would show up?
33605What was the last you saw of the jewels?
33605What''s the matter with Number Six?
33605What''s the trouble?
33605What? 33605 Where are you going?"
33605Where has the thing been?
33605Where is that young scamp? 33605 Why is it so late?"
33605Why not send it by wireless?
33605Why on earth should the thief want to return the wallet? 33605 Why, Morgan, whatever are you doing here?"
33605Why, Peggy, what is the matter with you? 33605 Why, what are you talking about?"
33605Why, what do you know about it?
33605Why, what ever brings you here?
33605Why?
33605Wonder where that girl went to on her tryout spin?
33605Would I?
33605Would n''t Roy like to go in the aeroplane?
33605Would what? 33605 Would you like to try a little flight, Jeff?"
33605Yes, and she''s pretty as a picture, too,put in Gid Gibbons;"guess you were stuck on her once, were n''t you, Fan?"
33605Yes, but how? 33605 Yes, but what?
33605Yes, do n''t I make a nice one?
33605Yes, very fine talk, but what can you do?
33605Yes, where is he? 33605 You chaps are nervous as kittens,"he was saying,"who on earth would come to this island?
33605You have no idea who the men were?
33605You really mean that, Fanning?
33605You would, eh?
33605You''ll promise no harm will come to me or my father through this?
33605You''re not, eh? 33605 You''ve got auctioneering, the Supreme Court and war times, mixed up a bit, have n''t you?"
33605After all, they were true;"what could he do?"
33605After some more conversation the group was about to break up, when Jess exclaimed suddenly:"Oh, by the way, did you hear about Jeff Stokes?
33605And how about inviting us all to have some of those strawberries Pop and I noticed as we came down the path?"
33605And now having expended a wicked sum for the engine of this flying thing where do you expect to reap your profit?"
33605Are we in any very serious danger?"
33605At last he spoke:"I understand that you have built an aeroplane which is a success?"
33605Beasley?"
33605Bell?"
33605But how was he to proceed to make money with his knowledge?
33605But if he did why would he place that wallet on the porch of Jess''s home?"
33605But not too old for Peter and I to have many happy days together yet, eh, Peter?"
33605But that contest is not to come off for more than a month and-- and supposing someone should have a better machine than you?"
33605But that does n''t matter, for you wear goggles and a helmet in driving that thing, anyway, do n''t you?"
33605But who is the old gentleman?"
33605But''as yer''ad han h''accident?"
33605Can you do it for her right away?"
33605Can you hold on for a time?"
33605Come now, do n''t you recognize me?"
33605Do n''t you read every day in the papers about girls and women making almost as good flights as the men?
33605Do you think we could?"
33605For instance, who would know that you had valuables in the car?"
33605Got the files?"
33605Has every place been searched thoroughly?"
33605Have found it?"
33605Have you a comfortable chair, miss?
33605He practically made it his life work, you see, and----""And you beggared yourself carrying those ideas out, eh?"
33605He----""Oh, you mean to imply that I do, eh?"
33605How do I know where he is?"
33605How do you account for it?"
33605How do you know he has n''t gone off with those jewels?"
33605How does the offer strike you?"
33605I do n''t want anything to do with you, do you understand?
33605I''ll bet----""How dare you?"
33605If the Golden Butterfly can win that prize----""By Jove, sis, it''s five thousand dollars, is n''t it?"
33605Is n''t it, Fred?"
33605Maybe we can make that?"
33605Morgan and Giles----""What, Morgan and Giles were there?"
33605Now who could have stolen the wallet in that time?"
33605Now, are you on?"
33605Right, ai n''t I?"
33605Roy, where are you?"
33605That one by the clump of woods round the bend in the road?"
33605There was the gold all right, but how was I to get it out?"
33605There, what do you think of that?"
33605We can make it?"
33605What business could this old man-- in some respects a power financially and otherwise in Sandy Beach-- have with their aunt?
33605What could it be?
33605What did that mean?
33605What had become of them?
33605What had been his mission there?
33605What has happened?"
33605What if nobody heard him and he was compelled to remain at the bottom of the old well?
33605What if she were dead?
33605What of it?"
33605What was he trying to conceal?
33605What''s it about?"
33605What''s the trouble?"
33605What, then, could have become of the jewel case?
33605Whatever do you want one for?"
33605Whatever kind of a game of bluff has Fanning Harding been playing?"
33605Where could such a man as Gid Gibbons be getting such large amounts of money as he seemed to have recently?
33605Where could they be taking him?
33605Where is Jimsy?"
33605Who could it be?
33605Why do n''t you take that rod there?
33605Why, I think----Why, whatever was that?"
33605Why, ca n''t you see that the very first thing that happens is a chance to win$ 5,000?"
33605Will one of you help me catch old Dobbin and harness him?
33605Wo n''t she be pleased?"
33605Wonder if it''s true?"
33605Would it arrive in time to participate in the start and thus qualify?
33605Would it have been possible for Fanning to enter the field while they lay unconscious there?
33605Would the occupant of the aeroplane see his frantic signals?
33605You have n''t got a revolver with you, have you?"
33605You say you want a third?
33605asked Fanning with a sudden accession of interest;"then he ca n''t race to- day, can he?"
33605asked the other;"do you know where my brother is?"
33605cried his aunt, admiringly,"do you think you''ll be able to get a position?"
33605echoed Peggy,"and nobody knows how it came there?"
33605echoed the youth;"will a duck swim?"
33605exclaimed Peggy to herself,"what shall I do?"
33605exclaimed the boy, as he scanned the news- sheet,"why this is just what we were wishing for, is n''t it?
33605she cried triumphantly,"as good a sky pilot as you are, Roy?"
33605where are you?"
33605you indefinite person?"
33605young folks, what''s the trouble?
10936''Ai n''t much on conversation, be yer?'' 10936 ''Gwan, you fool nigger, don''you know dat dem flying boys an''gals is to be hayr ter- day?"
10936''I''m a peddler,''I explained,''could I get something to eat and a room here for the night?'' 10936 ''Peddler?''
10936''What you tradin''in?'' 10936 ''What you tradin''in?''
10936''Where you going?'' 10936 ''Where''d you come from?''
10936A month''s time?
10936A trip to North Carolina? 10936 Ai n''t you frum the guv- ment?"
10936All right?
10936And how did you solve the problem of what to do with the rest of the summer?
10936And hunt up missing heiresses?
10936And let those kids get away with what they did? 10936 And then?"
10936And what''s that,--lie in hammocks and indulge in ice- cream sodas and chocolates?
10936And what''s that?
10936And why, pray, Roy Prescott?
10936Any idea where the young folks have gone?
10936Anybody been around, Tam?
10936Anybody laughing?
10936Are you good with a shovel?
10936Are you really better?
10936Busted?
10936But how could I go?
10936But how could they know that she was here?
10936But if it did n''t fly, how in tarnation did it git here?
10936But if not?
10936But the guard outside?
10936But what is your plan?
10936But what on earth have two shovels to do with stopping a bunch of kids from entering in an aëroplane race?
10936But who''ll go?
10936But, my dear children, do you realize what such a trip means?
10936But-- but who would drive the car?
10936Ca n''t we stay and help?
10936D''ye think it was stolen?
10936Did n''t say anything else?
10936Did they say they were going to watch all night?
10936Did you have any success with the telephone?
10936Did you see anything? 10936 Do n''t be a goose, Aunt Sally,"comforted Peggy;"do n''t you know that lightning never strikes twice in the same place?"
10936Do n''t know; but he''s all right, depend upon it,said Jimsy cheerfully;"hello, what''s that coming now?"
10936Do you know what happened to that plug, Carlos?
10936Do you think she was stolen from somewhere?
10936Done what?
10936Everything ready?
10936Flap its wings and all that like a burd?
10936Going to tell the girls anything about Kelly and his remarks?
10936Goodness, then you have n''t any right now?
10936Got a mortgage on it, eh?
10936Got any spark plugs?
10936Gracious, are we in for more trouble?
10936Great Scot, what''s happening?
10936Had n''t we better be getting on?
10936Have you any suspicions as to who did it?
10936Have you no other name?
10936Have you telephoned them?
10936How are we going to get out of this?
10936How can you say so? 10936 How do you know?"
10936How does it go anyway?
10936How fast can the engines get back?
10936How is that?
10936How long would it take us to get to Marysville?
10936How much do you think the lease of your field for an hour or so is worth?
10936How much do you want?
10936How was it, Jimsy?
10936How''d you alls get hyar?
10936How''s that?
10936How?
10936I daon''t, hey? 10936 I do n''t know what to do about her,"admitted Peggy;"suppose we ask Aunt Sally?
10936I reckon so, son,grinned the red- faced man, in response to this elegant speech;"now, then, are you going to give up that chair or not?"
10936I wonder where Roy is?
10936If what?
10936In just what way?
10936In just what way?
10936In what way?
10936Is he alive?
10936Is n''t there any fire apparatus near here?
10936Is that so, Mr. Roy Prescott? 10936 Is the window open?"
10936It do n''t never do to be too sure,murmured the melancholy Jake,"''cos why?
10936It''s grand, is n''t it?
10936Jiggered if I know,spoke Jimsy;"ca n''t you or Roy think of anything?"
10936My dear child, do you actually contemplate taking me flying through the air at my time of life?
10936No danger of that,responded Peggy, from the vantage of the tonneau of the car;"but how are you going to rope him?"
10936No; what good would that do? 10936 Nonsense; what harm can he do us anyhow?
10936Notice anything peculiar about it?
10936Now, what''s he trying to do, I wonder?
10936Of course; who else could go?
10936Oh, Peggy, what are you going to do with it?
10936Oh, they did, eh? 10936 Oh, you know me, eh?"
10936On the other hand, how are we to look after her?
10936Peggy Prescott, you mean me?
10936Ready?
10936Remember what?
10936Said nothing about coming back?
10936See here, Jim Bancroft, this wo n''t do,he sharply admonished himself,"you''re on duty, understand?
10936See that sign?
10936So you ai n''t going to stay out?
10936So you''ve been fired, eh?
10936Surely you ca n''t refuse now?
10936Taking a stroll, eh?
10936Tell you what,cried Jimsy suddenly,"what''s the matter with Miss Prescott going along in an automobile?
10936That''s plain enough,struck in Roy;"but how do you propose to do it?"
10936The idea just came to me in a second,explained Roy modestly, in answer to the ladies''congratulations and praise,"it worked, though, did n''t it?"
10936The mayor of the town has asked us to take part,came from Jimsy;"what have you got to do with it?"
10936Then I''m to stay with you?
10936Then how kin it fly?
10936Then we can do nothing more?
10936Then what are we to do with her?
10936Then what did they do?
10936Then you are going to fly out there?
10936Ther law? 10936 There''s another thing, what are we to do with this little Wren?"
10936Three what?
10936Wa''al, it ai n''t flyin'', is it?
10936Wake you up?
10936Want to buy him?
10936We set out for a quiet trip and encounter nothing but troubles--"Adventures, Aunt Sally,laughingly corrected Roy;"what is life without adventures?"
10936Well, I''ll leave him to you now,rejoined Roy;"is there a hospital near here?"
10936Well, Tam,he said,"lost your job?"
10936Well, girls, was it an exciting battle?
10936Well, girls, what''s up now?
10936Well, is n''t that being fired? 10936 Well, never mind, I''ve got another for you,"replied Jim Cassell, in what was for him an unwontedly amiable tone;"can you go to work at once?"
10936Well, there was n''t anything to do but fight, unless we''d run away,laughed Roy,"and now what about the cause of all the trouble?"
10936Well, what do you make of that?
10936Well, what next?
10936Well, what''s to be done now?
10936Well, why not? 10936 Well,"he said,"what do you think now?"
10936Well,said he,"are you going to fly?"
10936Well?
10936Wha''de matter?
10936Wha''s true,--dat you all''s crazy?
10936What are the facts?
10936What are we to do?
10936What are you doing here?
10936What are you doing to this child?
10936What are you going to do?
10936What did you say?
10936What do you mean to do?
10936What do you mean?
10936What do you mean?
10936What gift of second sight have you?
10936What if anyone pounces on us?
10936What is it, dear? 10936 What is it?"
10936What is it?
10936What is your name, dear?
10936What next?
10936What next?
10936What next?
10936What on earth is up now?
10936What will we do about it?
10936What will we do; go back for reënforcements?
10936What you alls want hyar?
10936What''s his name?
10936What''s the country coming to?
10936What''s the danger if we keep on?
10936What''s the matter with it?
10936What''s the matter?
10936What''s the trouble?
10936What''s the trouble?
10936What''s thet, Jed?
10936What''s up now, Roy?
10936What''s up, father?
10936What''s up? 10936 What''s your idea, sis?"
10936What, camp out every night? 10936 Where are the aviation grounds?"
10936Where did those boys come from?
10936Where is my machine?
10936Where under the sun did you find them, Beppo?
10936Where?
10936Who are you?
10936Who can have done that?
10936Who can have done this?
10936Who is going to take care of Wren?
10936Who is he?
10936Who''ll make it?
10936Whom do you mean by they?
10936Why do n''t you box the nasty thing''s ears for riding in our car?
10936Why do n''t you put him on the stage as the boxing ram, or something like that?
10936Why not go after them now, while the trail is hot?
10936Why not? 10936 Why not?"
10936Why, does n''t he wear glasses, have a hawk- like nose and smoke a pipe?
10936Why, what''s the matter? 10936 Why?
10936Why?
10936Why?
10936Will it last five minutes longer?
10936Wo n''t, hey? 10936 Wonder how far we are from Meadville?"
10936Wonder who that man is who is monkeying with the_ Red Dragon_?
10936Would you care to hear about it?
10936Wren, do you know that you are a very bad young lady?
10936Yes, and there are wonderful, long- distance migrations of birds, so why not a cross- country flight of motor butterflies?
10936Yes, and what then?
10936Yes; and what did you tell them?
10936Yes; do you know any reason why I should n''t be?
10936You bane want me no more?
10936You kin?
10936You will, eh?
10936Afraid of the lightning?"
10936Ai n''t likely dat ef de Lawd had meant us ter fly he''d have give us wings, would n''t he?"
10936And then with the same sickly grin:"Say, miss, does it really fly?"
10936Are you dreaming?"
10936Are you there?"
10936But how can you free us?"
10936But, say, who can have done this?"
10936Could she make it ahead of her rival?
10936Get me?"
10936Got everything ready?"
10936How about you, Jimsy?"
10936How comes it you have that monkey wrench in your hands if you were n''t tampering with the machinery?"
10936How do you suppose that gun came to be there?"
10936How soon can you get the engines there?"
10936How was he to confess that he had failed in his trust-- had slept while danger threatened?
10936I guess you feel pretty sore, Tam, do n''t you?"
10936I never heard of gals flyin'', although, come to think of it, why should n''t they?"
10936Illustration:"What are you doing to this child?"
10936Is there any doubt in your mind that that fellow Cassell is at the bottom of all this?"
10936It was not altogether an accident, eh?"
10936No harm in that, is there?"
10936See it?"
10936See that deep cañon?
10936Seems funny, does n''t it, to stable aëroplanes in a livery stable?"
10936So I see,"was the rejoinder;"how be you goin''ter git out of thar?"
10936That one with the fallen tree across it?"
10936That''s so,"cried Roy, snapping his fingers;"it would leave an odd track too, would n''t it?"
10936Then, with a sudden change of front:"See here, Tam, do you want to make some money?"
10936WHAT''S TO BE DONE WITH THE WREN?
10936Was it very wrong of me?
10936Was n''t Pegasus, the first flying machine on record, a horse?"
10936Was this Sky Cruise that they had looked forward to with such eager anticipation to be nothing but a series of mishaps?
10936We''re not hurting anything,"objected Roy;"surely you do n''t mind our occupying the field for an hour or so till the storm blows over?"
10936Well, they''ll see that they ai n''t everything around here,"responded the lad;"I reckon Jim Cassell has some say here, eh, dad?"
10936What are you doing there?"
10936What did they tell you when they let you go?"
10936What did they want to know?"
10936What did they want?"
10936What did you say?"
10936What do you mean?
10936What happened?"
10936What sort of stuff?"
10936What will we do now?"
10936What''ll stop me?"
10936What''s To Be Done with The Wren?
10936What''s that?"
10936What''s the trouble?"
10936Which would win the$ 500 race?
10936Who are you, anyhow?"
10936Who could have attempted such a thing?"
10936Who''ll bid?
10936Who''ll bid?
10936Why should we stay out of it?"
10936You do not like it?"
10936You''ll take me with you, wo n''t you?"
10936demanded his wife, noticing his wildly staring eyes and open mouth;"you gone fool crazy?"
10936exclaimed Roy heartily, glancing approvingly at his sister,"what''s your idea?"
10936punned Roy;"he ramified all over, did n''t he?"
10936roared the sheep man;"ai n''t hurt, be you?"
10936she exclaimed,"what is all this?
10936she hailed, as the porch party hastily adjourned and ran to welcome her,"how''s that for a novice only recently out of the Mineola School?"
10936sighed the child;"am I going to stay with you as long as that?"
10936what''s this?"
10936yelled Jimsy;"Has n''t had enough of it yet, eh?"
53692Afraid? 53692 All ready to run, Ris?"
53692An''why not, señor?
53692And are you not here alone, and in my power? 53692 And do the people love their master?"
53692And how about the bananas?
53692And if the planes, or braces, or fastenings break?
53692And is it powerful enough to destroy the ship?
53692And we have n''t passed it?
53692And what did you think of her?
53692And what would you use for fuel?
53692And you think, on that account, we will let you go again, to carry out your cowardly designs?
53692And you would be willing to forfeit your life as the alternative of not getting control of this yacht? 53692 Any damage?"
53692Any of our people?
53692Any water in it?
53692Are any other men left upon this island?
53692Are they armed?
53692Are you afraid?
53692Are you going to sleep all day, Crusoe, like those dreadful owls?
53692Are you ready, Sybil?
53692Are you sure of that?
53692Are you sure they were not seen?
53692Are you traveling alone?
53692Are-- are we sinking?
53692But how about you, Chesty? 53692 But how will you get there-- swim?"
53692But the big launch could n''t do it?
53692But what are we to do with Ramon Ganza-- and those three rascals imprisoned with him, whom Chesty captured and brought to us?
53692But what made that noise? 53692 But what''s the use, without gasoline?"
53692But will not this journey be a hazardous one for Mr. Kane to undertake?
53692But-- to lie here all day? 53692 Ca n''t he be eaten just boiled?"
53692Ca n''t we arrest him for disturbing the peace, and trying to capture our yacht, and attempting to murder one of the crew?
53692Ca n''t we go there, Orissa, and find out?
53692Ca n''t we manage to do that, Steve?
53692Ca n''t we recover the bars?
53692Can they all be drowned?
53692Can you manage to get away from the deck?
53692Can you solve it, Miss Dentry?
53692Could n''t any ship see our white tent from the ocean?
53692Could n''t we blast a channel?
53692Could we venture some two hundred and eighty miles in open boats?
53692Could you climb a wire, Syb?
53692Could you conceive a more horrible combination?
53692Did I? 53692 Did you get to land?"
53692Did you go over the water?
53692Did you yell because_ I_ was scared?
53692Do n''t they make kerosene and gasoline of it?
53692Do n''t you aviators often shut off your engine and volplane to the ground?
53692Do you believe they are still alive?
53692Do you imagine you would like to fly?
53692Do you know the Tuppers?
53692Do you play checkers?
53692Do you realize, Sybil,asked Orissa in a grave tone, as she took her second sandwich,"that we must pass the night in this wiggly, insecure boat?"
53692Do you see anyone?
53692Do you think you can master the mechanism by that time?
53692Do you think,asked Sybil, uneasily,"it is one of our people come to look for us?"
53692Do you, Captain?
53692Does n''t it look something like lettuce?
53692Does your brother use the Gnome engines?
53692Eh?
53692For why, señor?
53692Fuel?
53692Hair or salad oil, Ris?
53692Have n''t you heard? 53692 Have you a revolver, Ris?"
53692Have you ever seen this dare- devil namesake of yours, Miss Kane?
53692Have you not the flying- machine-- the airship?
53692Having a boat under them, I suppose they will float indefinitely?
53692How about Ramon Ganza?
53692How about food?
53692How about gasoline?
53692How can we do it?
53692How can you do that? 53692 How did Ramon manage to build that house, and make such a big settlement on the island, all in secret?"
53692How did you do that?
53692How do you expect to regain the ship?
53692How far is the island?
53692How fast are we going?
53692How is Mason getting along?
53692How many games?
53692How many men did he take with him?
53692How many years has he lived on this island?
53692How shall I steer?
53692How?
53692How?
53692How?
53692I stood below to catch you in case you slipped; but who is there to catch_ me_, I beg to inquire?
53692I suppose there''s none aboard, Captain Krell?
53692I suppose with the gasoline tanks filled we could go home?
53692I? 53692 If you can not trust me, why should I trust you?"
53692In that case, how long will they continue flying?
53692In what way?
53692In what way?
53692Interesting, is n''t it?
53692Interesting, is n''t it?
53692Interesting; is n''t it?
53692Is Miss Kane here, sir?
53692Is it a-- a-- tent?
53692Is it best to argue the point, Steve?
53692Is it necessary to say more?
53692Is it the same old engine, Steve?
53692Is it worth while? 53692 Is n''t it Madeline Dentry''s yacht?"
53692Is n''t it astonishing,said Orissa,"how much moisture is dispersed from this tiny stream?
53692Is there?
53692Is your mission here to gain information concerning aëroplanes?
53692Kane?
53692Matches?
53692May I rest my head upon you, chummie dear?
53692May I take Sybil with me?
53692May we take the launch, Miss Dentry?
53692Me? 53692 Me?"
53692Me?
53692Meat all gone?
53692Mr. Tupper,said she to her uncle,"do I employ you to advise me, or to manage my business affairs?"
53692My island is a pleasant place, and where else can you find so much happiness when my ship, which you now inhabit, is destroyed?
53692No arms at all-- not even a hatpin?
53692Not yet?
53692Oh, Crusoe, ca n''t you see? 53692 Oh, what shall we do?"
53692Oh; did you see the machine fly? 53692 Oh; have you a yacht?"
53692Oh; that''s the idea, is it?
53692Orissa?
53692Ramon''s? 53692 See anything else?"
53692See that smoke? 53692 So soon?"
53692So you think Don Miguel will keep my yacht?
53692Suppose the engine should some time fail you?
53692Suppose we strike deep water?
53692Tell me, Mateo,said Ramon Ganza,"where is it, beneath this boat, that the mine has been planted?"
53692The Hydro- Aircraft?
53692The Red- beard?
53692The outlaw? 53692 Then it''s the''sort''you love?"
53692Then which one do you love?
53692Then you are''fraid of Ramon?
53692Then, alas, my overtures of peace are refused?
53692Three?
53692Was n''t she to alight this side of the island?
53692Was that your only crime?
53692Well?
53692Well?
53692What are those unmarked dots which are scattered around?
53692What can we do?
53692What did he do?
53692What did you do? 53692 What difference would it make?"
53692What do you intend to do with him, Miss Cumberford?
53692What do you think he intends to do?
53692What do you want?
53692What good would it do us?
53692What has become of the Mexican''s launch?
53692What have we to decide?
53692What in the mischief is Orissa up to now?
53692What is it?
53692What is that, sir? 53692 What is there to cook, in this place?"
53692What little boat do you refer to, sir?
53692What luck, Syb?
53692What next?
53692What now?
53692What shall we do?
53692What time is it?
53692What was it?
53692What will be the fashion of our dropping, anyhow?
53692What will you do, señor?
53692What would be the use?
53692What''s insecure about it?
53692What''s the run, Captain?
53692What''s up, Ris?
53692What''s wrong?
53692What''s your run, Captain?
53692What, Ramon?
53692What? 53692 When do we sail for San Diego?"
53692Where is he, Miss Dentry?
53692Where they go?
53692Where to?
53692Where?
53692Which of the young ladies are you engaged to?
53692Who else wants to go? 53692 Who is it?"
53692Who is this?
53692Who will fly with me to San Diego?
53692Who? 53692 Why are you on deck?"
53692Why did you try to escape?
53692Why did you venture to place yourself in our power, Ramon Ganza, and then threaten us as you have done?
53692Why do the work twice?
53692Why not?
53692Why on earth did you venture to come back?
53692Why should you?
53692Why the witch- women let Ramon make trouble for you? 53692 Why, Syb?"
53692Why?
53692Why?
53692Will Steve go with me on Monday?
53692Will our house stand much of a wind?
53692Will you dare to oppose Ramon, then?
53692Will you have a chocolate?
53692Will you promise not to cry out and attract Ramon''s attention?
53692Will you teach me how to operate it?
53692Will you try it?
53692Wo n''t they be amazed to see us continue this course, beyond the island? 53692 Would you follow Ramon?"
53692Would you like to join our party?
53692Would your men execute such an absurd order?
53692Yes; what is there to make a fire with?
53692Yet even snakes ca n''t exist without water, can they? 53692 You are fond of flying?"
53692You have witch- women?
53692You know Madero?
53692You like Coronado, then?
53692You mean we ca n''t get the yacht off again?
53692You think we join you, then?
53692Your first name is Orissa?
53692A rain storm?"
53692Agreeable, Columbus?"
53692All ready, Steve?"
53692All right?"
53692Am I frightened?
53692And coal?"
53692And you are his daughter?"
53692Are we sinking, Ris, or do we float?"
53692Are_ you_ game, my dear Discoverer?"
53692As they took their places Mr. Radley- Todd inquired:"Plenty of gasoline?"
53692But Mr. Tupper, white and trembling as with an ague, leaped to his feet and cried:"In heaven''s name, Cumberford, what do you mean?
53692But tell me, since you''ve started on such an indefinite cruise, is the_ Salvador_ well provisioned?"
53692But where is your brother?"
53692But why wait for fire to drive you to death most terrible or to my great hospitality?
53692By the way, what am I to do on Monday?
53692CHAPTER XXVIII THE PRISONER"What''s wrong, Ris?"
53692Can you catch a fish?"
53692Can you explain that?"
53692Can you get to the bluff?"
53692Can you see anything, Syb?"
53692Can you tell me, then, the name of this island, and who inhabits it?"
53692Cumberford?"
53692Cut the explosives, and what remains for us to do?"
53692Did I understand you to say, Mr. Kane, that your sister is unable to stop the engine, or to turn the machine?"
53692Did n''t something give way?"
53692Did we coax him to come and try to capture us, that we might prove he is a wicked law- breaker?
53692Did we lay a trap for Ramon?
53692Did you bring along your glasses?"
53692Did you cork that bottle of water?
53692Did you mark that place, Orissa, so we will know when we come to it?"
53692Do I grow pale, and tremble?
53692Do n''t you think, Ris, that those feathered fiends only stopped the concert because they''d howled until their throats were sore?"
53692Do you all follow me?"
53692Do you expect us to believe that?"
53692Do you know, Ris, the owls must be responsible for the absence of all other life on the island?
53692Does gasoline ever spoil, Ris?"
53692Eh, Steve?"
53692Eh?
53692Eh?
53692Feet wet, Syb?"
53692Forgive Monsieur Champetre, if he falls down occasionally; he is as unused to the kitchen-- or is it scullery?
53692Goodness sakes, child,"cried Mrs. Tupper, in great alarm,"do you think I''d risk my life in that dreadful airship?"
53692Had there been a tragedy?
53692Have n''t you enough reflected ingenuity to manufacture a checkerboard?"
53692Have n''t you noticed it?"
53692Have we anything in the way of clubs?"
53692Have you any idea where we shall be by that time?"
53692Have you heard of his latest contrivance?
53692Have you positively decided to establish a circus in these wilds, Ris?"
53692He now stopped short before the visitors, removed his hat and said:"I-- er-- pardon me, but-- er-- was your appointment for this hour?"
53692How are you, girls?
53692How did it blow?"
53692How does the cover open, Ris?"
53692How long a time will the trip take us, Steve?"
53692How shall we get to it, though?
53692How would it do, Ris, to build a stone bed-- something like an altar, you know, with a hollow center which we could fill with sand?"
53692I How did he expect us to get at the repast, anyhow?"
53692I hope you did n''t encourage her advances, Orissa?"
53692If I escape from my island in little boat, where can I got?
53692Interesting, is n''t it?
53692Is it not good way, señor?"
53692Is it not the best to accept my offer, and so save yourselves from-- inconvenience?"
53692Is n''t it a glorious prospect?"
53692Is n''t that another island?"
53692Is that a clear understanding of your statement, Ramon Ganza?"
53692Is there room enough for our boat to enter the bay you described, or is that big rock too close to shore to let us pass?"
53692It has been a long and exciting day for us, has n''t it?"
53692It would take more than a blind bird to scare either of us; would n''t it, Cap''n?"
53692Kane?"
53692Kane?"
53692Kane?"
53692Let''s see; ten in our party, so far, was n''t it?
53692Madeline is rich; what does she care for this miserable yacht?
53692Me, Señor?
53692Me?
53692Meantime, how can we get the key to unlock this chain?"
53692Mighty poetical in the advertisements, eh?
53692Must I carry Sybil in any certain direction, or for any given distance?"
53692Must we not keep Ramon busy, to hold him here until the warship comes?
53692Neither had uttered a word, however, so Mr. Cumberford stepped forward and said:"Do you speak English?"
53692No one would guess this was your plan, would he?
53692Now you understand me, do you not?
53692Of course it will take them some time to find us, but----Don''t you think, Orissa, they''re quite certain to find us, in the end?"
53692Oh, what shall we do?--what shall we do?"
53692One morning Sybil asked:"Is n''t to- day Tuesday, Orissa?"
53692Or had the torpedo boat merely frightened the outlaws, as she had imagined, and driven them away?
53692Pretty sight, was n''t it?
53692Question is, who''s got it?
53692Shall we sing songs?
53692She''s as much at home in the air as a bird; and why should n''t the machine fall gently to the water, when the gasoline gave out?
53692Suppose a storm catches us before morning?"
53692Tell me, Steve,"she added, turning to her brother,"what news of the Hydro- Aircraft?"
53692The task was almost completed when Sybil suddenly exclaimed:"How about a frame for our tent?"
53692Then Madeline sprung her important question:"Do you ever take a passenger?"
53692Then he drew out a silver case and, choosing a cigarette with solicitous care, turned to Francisco and said:"Will the señor favor me with a light?"
53692Then she leaned over and called to Sybil:"Can you manage it?"
53692Uncertain what to say, he asked haltingly:"Do you call it''aviatrix''or''aviatrice''?
53692We ca n''t afford the luxury of illness, can we?
53692We do not seem much afraid of your Ramon, do we?
53692Well, how about breakfast?"
53692Were his men on board, and had they met with some astonishing accident, or had they deliberately committed suicide?
53692What are you doing?
53692What are you going to do?"
53692What could it mean?
53692What do you say, Pietro?"
53692What first, Steve?
53692What is our real danger?"
53692What shall we do now, Sybil?"
53692What shall we do?"
53692What shall we tackle first?"
53692What then, Stephen Kane?"
53692What then?
53692What''s the proposition?"
53692What''s to eat?"
53692What, then, shall we do for amusement?"
53692Where do you suppose we are, anyhow?"
53692Where''s that slab of aluminum that used to be a seat?"
53692Who care?"
53692Why not fly to the nearest point on the Mexican coast, Mr. Kane, and from there telegraph President Madero?
53692Why should I be, with my brother''s wonderful engine at my back and perfect control of every part of my machine?"
53692Why?
53692Will not you, for the sake of the ladies who are with you, encourage my friendliness?"
53692Will they presently descend and alight upon the surface of the water?"
53692Will you accompany us, or ride with your aunt?"
53692Will you see me die like this?"
53692With merely an impressive pause, as if to drive the words home, he continued:"May I, then, be honored by a recital of your names and station?"
53692Wo n''t you take him to Magdalena and turn him over to the Mexican police?"
53692Would n''t the rocks scatter in every direction and bombard us and the ship, perhaps causing damage that would be fatal to our hopes of escape?"
53692Would you destroy us all in this heartless fashion?"
53692You do n''t object to my being Crusoe, do you?"
53692You do not know to where-- to whom-- you have come?
53692You know what time the mine is to explode?"
53692You mean to land, do n''t you?
53692You the Spanish speak?
53692if this racket keeps up every night how are we going to be able to sleep?"
53692protested Mr. Tupper;"what in the world are you thinking of?"
10954A flight?
10954A large red one?
10954After this affecting tableau, is there anything you wish to say to me, hey?
10954Ai n''t tryin''ter fool us, are yer?
10954All is not lost yet, Mortlake, hey, hey, hey?
10954And Jess and Jimsy and----"And that other young fellow? 10954 And a nice, lonely sort of place, too, hey?"
10954And if not?
10954Are n''t you afraid of burglars coming and blowing the door of the safe off?
10954Are n''t you going to ask us in?
10954Are we far from Cape Charles?
10954Are you Miss Margaret Prescott, the girl aviator I have read so much about in the technical publications?
10954Are you going to keep on, Roy?
10954Are you going to tell him, Peggy?
10954Are you going to try for it?
10954But what about the_ Butterfly_?
10954But what are we to do with those two rascals now that we have caught them?
10954But what if, as you fear, the Prescotts have a superior aeroplane?
10954But what''s it all for?
10954But where are the folks who own it?
10954Can I help you fix the machine?
10954Can we do anything to help you?
10954Can we leave a message for you at your shops, or would you like a lift home with us?
10954Can you direct me to Mr. Mortlake''s aeroplane factory?
10954Can you guide us, my boy?
10954Can you read the printing on that sign?
10954Come, are you going to answer?
10954Confound it,he thought,"is this chit of a girl making fun of me?"
10954Did any of those bills have an identifying mark on it?
10954Did you come in an aeroplane, too?
10954Discharged you, eh? 10954 Do I have to answer that question, now?"
10954Do n''t mind if I have a look at it, do you?
10954Do you deny that this was your wallet?
10954Do you mean Mortlake?
10954Do you mean to say that Mortlake is scoundrel enough to plot against her, too?
10954Do you mind getting out?
10954Do you recall the safe being opened while you were in the room? 10954 Do you think I''ve got nothing to do but talk to you fellows all day?
10954Do you think it possible that he is also going to take in that outfit down the road?
10954Do you think that odious boy suspects anything?
10954Do you think we can overhaul her, Roy?
10954From yonder sky,grinned Jimsy, trying, not very successfully, to assume an inanely cheerful tone,"not badly hurt, old man, are you?"
10954Good gracious, Peggy, what are you trying to do?
10954Good heavens, is n''t there any good in the world?
10954Had an accident?
10954Had n''t you better shut down a bit? 10954 Have I?
10954Have you any idea at all as to the direction of the light, Peggy?
10954Have you got der plans?
10954Have you got your course?
10954He is in Hampton-- why?
10954He''s polite about it, is n''t he?
10954Heard the news?
10954Hey, girls, seen a package on the road?
10954Hey? 10954 How did it all happen?"
10954How did you ever come to make such a mistake?
10954How did you hear of it?
10954How far from here is the place where your partner is?
10954How long will that take, do you think?
10954How on earth did you happen to do that, Mortlake?
10954I agree with you,was the dry and rasping reply;"at least, they have put us in possession of one valuable bit of knowledge, hey?"
10954I beg your pardon?
10954I know, Sis, but what possible way have we to prove it? 10954 I suppose you fellows know that you are breaking the law and in danger of imprisonment if you are caught?"
10954I understand that you folks was in this house yesterday afternoon?
10954I wonder if he''ll have the face to brazen it out?
10954I wonder what mischief those young cubs are hatching up now?
10954I wonder who the fourth can be?
10954I-- here, what are you trying to do? 10954 Is n''t it against the rules for women or girls to drive machines in this contest?"
10954Is n''t it? 10954 Is n''t that just like a brother?
10954Is the island inhabited?
10954Is this enough?
10954Is this lieutenant going to stay long in Sandy Beach?
10954Is-- is the baby all right?
10954It''s too bad,repeated Fanning,"but ca n''t I do something?"
10954Let''s see,said Roy thoughtfully,"you''re one of the workmen at the Mortlake plant, are n''t you?"
10954Like to see how that was done?
10954Look here,cried Roy, indignantly wiggling in the officer''s strong grasp,"ca n''t you see that this is all a mistake?
10954Looks rather too warm to be comfortable, does n''t it?
10954Lost Brig Island,echoed Jess in an alarmed tone;"is this an island?"
10954Magnificently handled, do n''t you think so, Mortlake?
10954My dear Peggy,exclaimed Jess, with a smile that showed all her white even teeth,"what will you do next?
10954My dear, little girl,said James Bell,"can you trust me?"
10954No, but no doubt we shall when we reach the farm- house,put in Jess;"is n''t it thrilling, though?"
10954Not in there?
10954Now, what is there that''s familiar about that voice?
10954Oh, do you like it?
10954Oh, so you got the boy, hey?
10954Oh, were n''t they taken aback, though, at the idea?
10954Oh, you did, eh? 10954 Pardon me,"he said,"but is your name Regina?"
10954Pressing her a bit, are n''t you?
10954Queer, is n''t it?
10954Ready?
10954Ready?
10954Really? 10954 Roy Prescott here?"
10954Smart as a steel trap, with teeth that bite and hold, hey, hey, hey?
10954So the government really means to give us an opportunity to show the worth of our machines?
10954So,said Mortlake,"I''m left alone at last, eh?
10954Strong language?
10954Sure? 10954 That message you sent me-- what does it mean?"
10954That would be an easy bill to identify,commented Palmer, uneasily,"wonder if this can be a trap?"
10954The half- hour signal,cried Jimsy;"everything ready?"
10954Then what was it doing in your possession?
10954Then your brother did n''t see the safe opened?
10954There''s nothing serious the matter, is there?
10954They are actually selling stock?
10954They told me----"Oh, come in, wo n''t you?
10954This is a very unfortunate business, hey?
10954To what am I indebted for the pleasure of this visit?
10954We trust you absolutely,said Peggy,"and you''ll trust us?"
10954We understand, guv''ner,he rasped out in a hoarse voice;"Slim, here, and me do n''t take long ter catch on, eh, Slim?"
10954Well, I may have some work for you to do----"Work, guv''ner? 10954 Well, do you want to race then?"
10954Well, this is a nice fix, is n''t it?
10954Well, what do you want me to do about it?
10954Well, what if we did?
10954Well, what is it?
10954Well, what is it?
10954Well, where are those papers, then?
10954Well,growled Mortlake,"what have you got to say to me?"
10954Well,said Mr. Bell, looking round him with a smile,"who says that all the adventure and excitement is in the West?"
10954Well?
10954What are you going to do?
10954What can we do for you?
10954What d''ye think of that, hey, Mortlake?
10954What d''ye think of that? 10954 What did you come for?"
10954What did you read?
10954What do you mean to imply?
10954What do you think, Sis? 10954 What do you think?
10954What do you want me to do?
10954What do you want to do with me?
10954What game of cross- purposes and crooked answers is this?
10954What is all this-- a joke? 10954 What is it, Sis?"
10954What is it? 10954 What make of machine is your car, Fanning?"
10954What name was that you just mentioned?
10954What right have you to demand them?
10954What''s that? 10954 What''s that?
10954What''s the matter, sheriff?
10954What''s the meaning of this rough behavior?
10954What''s up?
10954What, wo n''t even the wonderful equalizer render her safe?
10954What, you here?
10954Whatever was that you used? 10954 Where are you off to?"
10954Where can they be going?
10954Where do you want me to go?
10954Where is the house? 10954 Where?"
10954Which one?
10954Who are they?
10954Who?
10954Why did n''t you say that before?
10954Why not?
10954Why should I? 10954 Why, did they?"
10954Why, if I may ask?
10954Why, what is it? 10954 Why?"
10954Why?
10954Will they report us?
10954Will you be good enough to mail some letters for us?
10954Will you do something for me-- will you aid a miserable outcast to right a great wrong?
10954Wonder where they can be going to?
10954Wot papers might you be lookin''fer?
10954Wots it worth if we tell yer where them papers are, guv''ners both?
10954Yep,was the grunted reply;"and now Mister What''s- Yer- Name, what are you going ter do with us?"
10954Yes,said Peggy,"did n''t you know?
10954Yes,she said;"why?"
10954You ai n''t goin''ter give us up guv''ner? 10954 You are sure this was the place?"
10954You ca n''t scare me by rattling old bones,he said,"What do you know about it?"
10954You do n''t think I''m going to allow Fanning Harding to scare me out of anything, do you?
10954You do not? 10954 You have an aviator attached to your place, then?"
10954You have been in New York, then?
10954You say that they were hanging about Mortlake''s place?
10954You see,she explained,"it would never do for us to reveal all our secrets, would it?
10954You thoroughly understand your instructions now?
10954You''re sure that bill is all right, Joey?
10954After all, why should n''t Mr. Harding and Mortlake be driving to the farm?
10954All agreed that things looked as black against them as could be, but-- where was the proof?
10954All right, ai n''t it?"
10954And in the face of this, do you mean to say that the boy would dare to keep up his apparent negotiations with the United States?"
10954And who do you think is to be his companion?"
10954And yet, what could be Mortlake''s object?
10954Are you willing to let your estimate of young Prescott stand or fall by this meeting?"
10954Bell?"
10954Bradbury know that I''m here?"
10954But I can do the same thing if you''d care to see it?"
10954But Jimsy said suddenly:"If that was the case, why did n''t they try to make out that I stole it?"
10954But Roy struck in with a question:"Was n''t Mr. Mortlake, accompanied by Harding, out here last night?"
10954But do n''t you see what power that gives us?"
10954But what does all this mean?
10954But what does all this mean?
10954But what had become of them?
10954But what under ther sun air you young folks in your fine clothes a- doin''out here?"
10954But what was the_ Golden Butterfly_ doing?
10954But what?
10954But why do you look so distressed, Peggy?"
10954But you do n''t think I''m worrying about your car now, do you?"
10954But, man, what has happened to you?
10954By the way, what time does the first test come off?"
10954Close at hand?"
10954Did n''t I, Slim?"
10954Did n''t you just hand the plans of the aeroplane over to that representative of a foreign government whom Mr. Mortlake is now chasing?"
10954Did you hear any details?"
10954Did you know that for some days past a German spy has been in Sandy Beach?"
10954Do you know him?"
10954Do you mean to try to lie out of it?
10954Do you suppose that Mr. Prescott will be long?"
10954Drop from ther clouds?"
10954Fine young girls, eh?
10954For what object?
10954Foun''suthin''vallerable, hev yer?
10954Got the money?"
10954Have you any clue yet?"
10954Hey, hey, hey?"
10954Hey, what''s all this?
10954Hey?"
10954How about it girls, are you hungry?"
10954Hullo, who''s this?"
10954I can take you to him?"
10954Is n''t that enough?"
10954Is this the Prescott house?"
10954Is your brother badly hurt?"
10954Listen-- who do you suppose has come back to Sandy Beach?"
10954Mortlake?"
10954Mortlake?"
10954Nice products of the twentieth century, hey?"
10954No, not that schooner below there-- I mean that sort of whitish drift-- it looks like cotton-- on the horizon?"
10954Now then-- do you know a man named Mortlake?"
10954Oh, how can I ever thank you?"
10954Or are you afraid to drive mine?"
10954Poor Roy, I wonder how he is getting along?"
10954Prescott?"
10954Regina, have n''t you a word for me?
10954Roy will be as good as ever by to- morrow, wo n''t you boy?"
10954See?"
10954Smart as a steel trap, hey?"
10954So Master Roy Prescott, you were planning to unmask me by that side- comb, were you?
10954So he was keeping that as evidence against me, eh?
10954Strange, is n''t it?"
10954Suppose they mistake us for burglars, and shoot us?"
10954Suppose----Good heavens, what''s that?"
10954That chap who got away wore a gray suit, while yours is a blue serge, is n''t it?"
10954That is, if you girls are n''t scared?"
10954The part of Roy on that eventful night had been played by:"Guess whom?"
10954To be accurate, young Prescott''s-- you know whom I mean?"
10954Was it fancy, or did Roy, for a second, see Mortlake quail and whiten?
10954We was broke, and----""And so you thought you''d replenish your pockets by holding up some automobilist or traveller, eh?
10954Well, what was the nature of that employment?"
10954Well, what''s that got to do with me?"
10954Well, would n''t that jar you?"
10954What about that pocket tool kit I had when I started out on the auto?
10954What are you doing here?"
10954What could be coming now?
10954What d''ye mean by that, hey?
10954What d''ye mean by that?"
10954What do you know about this?"
10954What do you mean?"
10954What do you want?"
10954What does all this mean?"
10954What is it?"
10954What more do you want?"
10954What of him?
10954What on earth do I know about it?"
10954What time is that naval lieutenant coming to look over the Prescott aeroplane, Peggy?"
10954What was that the crowd were shouting?
10954What''s all this?"
10954Where is such an aeroplane?"
10954Who can be coming now?"
10954Who could the two pretty girls in natty motor bonnets, with goggles attached, the plain, heavy skirts and dark shirt- waists be?
10954Who ever saw a barn with skylights on it?"
10954Who was in the parlor beside yourself when Mr. Galloway opened the wall safe to reward the men who had helped him extinguish the fire?"
10954Who''s to know we have the money?
10954Who, then?"
10954Who?"
10954Why ca n''t we get a doctor?
10954Why did you go into the manufacture of aerial machines, if you did n''t mean to stick it out?"
10954Why do n''t you call the police?"
10954Why do n''t you get somebody else to do it?"
10954Why had Regina been so mortified, and apparently alarmed, when she had announced the loss of one of her side- combs?
10954Will you go?"
10954Will you meet him?
10954Wo n''t you forgive me for deceiving you about your father all these years?"
10954Wo n''t you have a straw hat-- I mean a seat?"
10954Wonder where they can be going?"
10954You agree with me, do n''t you?"
10954You came here with him?"
10954You can see we''re not flying, ca n''t you?"
10954You thoroughly understand, now, to- morrow night on the road to Galloway''s farm?"
10954You wo n''t mind accompanying me then, while I oversee the workmen?"
10954Your brother was not there?"
10954asked Peggy boldly enough, despite her inward terror;"you had better go on at once, or----""Waal, or what?"
10954cried Mortlake, while old Mr. Harding spluttered:"Eh, eh?
10954exclaimed Peggy, as a sudden thought struck her,"suppose there should be trapdoors?"
10954he cried as his eyes fell on the trio,"whar under ther sun did you come from?
10954murmured Roy, smiling pluckily, as the Bancrofts came toward him with pitying looks,"but where in the world did you come from?"
10954shouted Mortlake, uselessly as he knew,"what''s the matter with you?"
10954shrilled Regina, who had now joined the group,"you do n''t surely mean to insinuate?
10954the man nodded his head in the direction in which Fanning and Regina had vanished,"did they come in a Mortlake aeroplane?"
10954whistled the boy,"a new conquest for the irresistible Fanning, eh?"
10954you did not drop it?"
44862''Is that all?''
44862A week?
44862About the necklace?
44862And by the way, you''re from the Spring City Flying School, are n''t you? 44862 And did you succeed in getting a nurse?"
44862And is that all?
44862And is your ambition flying?
44862And may I have him for a friend?
44862And may I see you when you are trying it on?
44862And now the question is, who can teach you to fly? 44862 And now,"added Linda,"will one of your mechanics look over my plane and put it away till tomorrow?
44862And somebody had already picked it up?
44862And suppose nothing does?
44862And will you be back in time for dinner?
44862And will you dictate that to a stenographer, and send a copy to Ted by air- mail?
44862And you do n''t think he''s wicked, just because his father is, do you, Aunt Emily?
44862And-- er-- how did you and this thief happen to be together?
44862Any news?
44862Are n''t you afraid if you do n''t exercise, you''ll lose it?
44862Are n''t you sleepy too?
44862Are the pearls safe?
44862Are you ready, Aunt Emily?
44862Are you scared at all, Linda?
44862Are you sure that you have the precious necklace?
44862Are you sure?
44862Are you willing to have me take Ted back again?
44862Aunt Emily has been doing all the shopping, so I hardly need to do anything.... By the way, did Kit give you any gossip about the crowd?
44862Baby- talk?
44862But are you a friend or an enemy of Mr. Mackay, Miss----?
44862But are you sure you''ve finished dinner?
44862But can you give me any news of my plane?
44862But did you say''Who''or''You''?
44862But do n''t you want something to eat before you start back?
44862But does that account for that whole crowd?
44862But have n''t you had enough flying for today, Linda?
44862But how do you explain it all, Ted?
44862But how do you explain the fact that he was shot? 44862 But not as much of it as you do of me?"
44862But tomorrow?
44862But what about me?
44862But what do you girls want me to do?
44862But whom will you ask? 44862 But would n''t you rather leave your plane and taxi over?"
44862But you are a new pilot, are n''t you?
44862But you do believe I''m capable, do n''t you, Ted?
44862But you know where he lives?
44862But you will?
44862By other men in the company----"Are they here?
44862By the way, daughter, have you ever tried jumping with a parachute? 44862 By the way, did you tell your father about finding the necklace?
44862By the way, how soon will you take me for a fly?
44862Can you give us directions?
44862Can you tell me where Dr. Lineaweaver, the surgeon, can be located?
44862Children,interrupted Miss Carlton, who had been patiently waiting to serve the refreshments,"would n''t you all feel better if you ate something?
44862Could you get him on the telephone for me?
44862Daddy--she lowered her voice--"you do n''t mind my being with Ted Mackay?
44862Daddy?
44862Dan Stillman?
44862Dan?
44862Did I do anything wrong?
44862Did Linda see much of Mackay while she was at the school?
44862Did he act as if he wanted to get out of the hospital as quickly as possible?
44862Did n''t I supply the brains to our combine?
44862Did you bring my necklace, Ralph?
44862Do I have to give one box to that lazy kid?
44862Do n''t you feel so, Ted?
44862Do you feel better, dear?
44862Do you know him?
44862Do you mean he''s here?
44862Do you mean that you saw somebody take it-- right under your eyes?
44862Do you mind missing it, my dear?
44862Do you really mean it, Aunt Emily?
44862Do you remember a man named Clavering, Tom?
44862Do you remember hearing a plane very close to the house when we were playing ping- pong last night?
44862Do you think he is a tramp?
44862Do you think it''s the Waco?
44862Doctors?
44862Does n''t everybody want to fly now- a- days?
44862Does''ou fink me cute?
44862Even so, I do n''t have to admire her appearance, do I?
44862Flying?
44862Get our wire?
44862Grieving for papa?
44862Has anybody found the treasure yet?
44862Has he been so, long?
44862Hate-- trees?
44862Have you any idea what is wrong with the plane?
44862He did n''t say anything about the detectives?
44862He would n''t do a thing like that, would he?
44862He''s big-- with red hair, and blue eyes, Why? 44862 Here?"
44862Holding hands with Red?
44862How about some lunch?
44862How about tomorrow morning?
44862How about your pistol?
44862How about your school- girl figure?
44862How could I, Aunt Emily? 44862 How could you know that I wanted it so much?"
44862How do you do?
44862How do you know?
44862How does his company feel about it?
44862How soon do you think you''ll get your license?
44862How''s the shoulder this morning?
44862How''s the shoulder?
44862How''s your wound?
44862How-- how-- is Daddy?
44862How?
44862How?
44862I guess you did n''t recognize her, did you, Louise? 44862 I mean-- you''d rather bring your instructor back with us, and fly it, would n''t you?"
44862I might be killed-- and then who would take care of you? 44862 I suppose it is not so unusual now to have girls as students?"
44862If I admit I''m jealous of Redhead, and say I''m sorry,conceded Ralph,"will you forgive me and go to the dance with me tonight?"
44862In trouble?
44862Is he downstairs now?
44862Is my father still alive?
44862Is n''t four days enough? 44862 Is n''t it all horrible?
44862Is n''t there something you could do?
44862Is she going to announce her engagement to Ralph Clavering, or Harriman Smith?
44862Is something worrying you, dear? 44862 Is the world as sad as all that?"
44862Is there anything at all, Linda, that I can do for you?
44862It is not our custom to take students up on the first day, Miss Carlton.... Now, have you a notebook and pencil?
44862It''s strange country to you?
44862Just friends?
44862Linda,interrupted her father, as he saw her start away,"where are you going?
44862Maurice Stetson? 44862 May I be the first to congratulate you?"
44862May n''t I even speak to him?
44862Miss Carlton?
44862Must we go back so soon, Aunt Emily?
44862My present?
44862No, but really--?
44862No, only why did n''t you come to the house first?
44862Oh, is that all?
44862Oh, is that so?
44862Open cockpit?
44862Ought n''t there to be a trained nurse?
44862Passed your physical exam, did n''t you?
44862Ralph has n''t heard anything more, has he?
44862Roger, would you really do that?
44862Roger? 44862 Serious work?"
44862So that you will know where I am, in case you need any help with your Arrow.... You-- you-- don''t mind?
44862So you''re really going to learn, too?
44862Solo flying? 44862 Sure you do n''t want to be with your young friends?"
44862Ted Mackay?
44862Ted,she said, finally,"could I have just one little talk with you, to clear things up-- before I go away?"
44862The big field? 44862 The famous Lindy''s namesake?...
44862Then Linda has n''t any partner?
44862Then how do you explain it? 44862 Then how do you explain it?"
44862Then may I ask what reason you have for wishing to see Mr. Mackay at this particular time?
44862Then they were from you?
44862Then you do n''t really blame me?
44862Then,she pleaded, and she was radiant again with enthusiasm,"could n''t_ I_ be your responsibility?"
44862This-- Mackay--he said slowly,"he is n''t your only instructor?"
44862Tomorrow?
44862Trying to beat her record?
44862Want any help?
44862Was it in a box?
44862Was n''t it a dreadful experience?
44862Was the man hurt so horribly?
44862Was the plane a Waco?
44862Well, can we?
44862Well, it''s settled then, about the summer, is n''t it?
44862Well, then, why was he following you?
44862Well, then-- Redhead? 44862 Well, there is n''t any law that says a girl ca n''t go with two men, is there?"
44862What about?
44862What are you children going to do this evening?
44862What are you planning to do this afternoon, dear?
44862What can we do? 44862 What do you mean?"
44862What do you think of that?
44862What does Linda think about the affair?
44862What kind of plane is it, Linda?
44862What was it, my dear?
44862What''s his name?
44862What''s the big idea?
44862What''s the fellow look like?
44862What''s the matter?
44862What''s the matter?
44862What''s this?
44862What-- what''s wrong-- Kit?
44862What?
44862What?
44862What?
44862What?
44862What?
44862When will the doctor be back?
44862Where are we going?
44862Where are you going dear?
44862Where did you get''em? 44862 Where does he go?"
44862Who can that be? 44862 Who do you suppose that is?"
44862Whom?
44862Why are n''t you going with Linda?
44862Why do n''t you dismiss it, and take my car?
44862Why not Taylor?
44862Why not make a clean breast of it? 44862 Why not?
44862Why should n''t you get it? 44862 Will they put him in jail?"
44862Will we be killed?
44862Will you forgive me for coming a day too late? 44862 With Ralph?"
44862Wo ghen Sie?
44862Wo n''t you please talk to me?
44862Wondering whether they''d give their consent-- and if they did, would they worry themselves to death?
44862Would it be possible for me to talk to his nurse?
44862Would n''t you mind a bit, Linda, if Louise married Ralph?
44862Would you be kind enough to take us to the man in charge of this field?
44862Would you like to go to your room, my dear-- or do you want to see your father first?
44862Would you really trust yourself to me? 44862 Yes, Daddy?"
44862Yes, but Daddy, do n''t you think it''s only fair to give me a reason?
44862Yes, but who sent them?
44862Yes, why?
44862Yes?
44862Yes?
44862Yes?
44862Yes?
44862Yes?
44862Yes?
44862You are rested, are n''t you? 44862 You did n''t mind my not waking up for supper last night, did you?"
44862You did n''t think your old Dad would forget you, did you, Honey?
44862You do like all this, do n''t you, Linda?
44862You do n''t call that news, do you? 44862 You do n''t have to go that soon, do you?
44862You do n''t mind, do you, Emily?
44862You have been here before, Linda?
44862You knew, then, that he had stolen Miss Clavering''s pearls?
44862You know him? 44862 You like it?"
44862You mean make it your life work?
44862You mean you went around the school shouting the news that you were carrying pearls to Green Falls in an airplane?
44862You mean_ if_, not_ when_, do n''t you?
44862You never heard of a valuable pearl necklace that this young man was carrying from Spring City to his sister, by my daughter''s plane?
44862You really believe Ted-- Mr. Mackay-- had a part in the horrible thing?
44862You really like parties? 44862 You saw him?"
44862You still worrying about those pearls?
44862You want to do most of your learning on your own plane, do n''t you, daughter?
44862You wo n''t be in any danger will you, Daddy?
44862You would n''t want to camp out, anyway, would you? 44862 You''d like that, would n''t you, dear?"
44862You''ll enter, wo n''t you?
44862You''re both safe? 44862 You''re from his company?"
44862You''re game, are n''t you?
44862You''re going to a ground school in the fall-- as we used to talk about-- aren''t you?
44862You''re not a bit afraid?
44862You''re sure they wo n''t mind?
44862You''ve been in an airplane accident?
44862You? 44862 Your hair is curlier, is n''t it, Dan?
44862Your plane was wrecked, was n''t it?
44862Your shoulder is all right, Ted?
44862_ May_ get insurance?
44862''Buy a biplane''--sounds like''Bye, Bye, Baby,''does n''t it?"
44862About twenty- seven?
44862After all, those two dead men deserved their fate, did n''t they?
44862Air- derbys, endurance flights-- height records?"
44862And how soon shall I tell Louise that you''ll be ready?"
44862And since my plane saved Daddy''s life, you''re converted to them now, are n''t you?"
44862And tomorrow morning at dawn we''ll go on a search.... Now, mother, can you give Mr. Mackay something to eat-- and a room?"
44862And you do understand, do n''t you?"
44862And,"she added as she stepped from the car,"do n''t you want to leave your car here, and let Thomas put it away?"
44862Are you going far?"
44862Are you teasing me?"
44862At this late date?"
44862Because you can get a license when you''re sixteen, ca n''t you?"
44862But Lou, if his coat is here, why is n''t he?"
44862But do n''t you suppose I have to go in a class with others, Daddy?"
44862But how did he know that she had a plane, and if he had happened to see it, why did n''t he come to the house, and ask her permission to examine it?
44862But tell me, have you decided you would like to go up in the Pursuit?"
44862But what I mean is, you have n''t gone in for any competitions yet, have you?
44862But what could Ted do?
44862But why?
44862But would n''t you like to stay and see your friends, and thank them?"
44862But you''re rested now?"
44862But, Daddy, where is it?
44862But, by the way, did the other fellow have red hair?"
44862Ca n''t we all three go together?"
44862Ca n''t you take my judgment as worth something, Linda?"
44862Can we drive over for him tonight?"
44862Can you arrange it?"
44862Cates?"
44862Cates?"
44862Connected with oil, was n''t he?
44862Could it be that he had found the necklace?
44862Could that have been your father?"
44862Did Aunt Emily mean he had come?
44862Did Thomas bring it up all right?"
44862Did it mean that, just as he was hoping to make his mark in the world, and rendering valuable assistance to his family, all must stop?
44862Did n''t you know?...
44862Did they make you do that at school?"
44862Do I have to tell you in so many words that young Ralph Clavering is interested in Linda?"
44862Do you know him, Daddy?"
44862Do you mean you''ve been up alone?
44862Do you suppose that man was killed?"
44862Do you think there would be any use in our going?"
44862Do you understand, daughter?"
44862Funny he did n''t notice anything so serious as this.... Louise, do you suppose that Roger could have done anything to it?"
44862Ghosts-- or tramps?"
44862Had n''t she made inside loops and Immelman turns often at school, and did n''t she know exactly what to do?
44862Had they any information so far?
44862Haydock?"
44862He would get well, of course, but was this going to cripple him so he would n''t be able to fly?
44862Honestly?
44862How are you?"
44862How could Ralph be so prejudiced, so cruel?
44862I wonder who''s piloting?"
44862I''ll get dressed right away.... And Auntie, may I have some strawberries up here, to eat after I take my shower?
44862I-- I''d just as soon not see it, would n''t you, Linda?"
44862If Ted really were in league with the thief, would they put him in prison too?
44862Is that all right?
44862Let''s see-- what year was that when he flew the Atlantic?
44862Likable chap, when you first meet him, is n''t he?
44862Like the old question people always ask married men:''If your mother and your wife were drowning, which one would you save?''
44862Looks honest and kind, and all that?"
44862Mackay?"
44862May I?"
44862Mr. Mackay is such a nice boy that it is a shame he has to have enemies.... Now, what can I do for you?"
44862Must she really give up his friendship?
44862Now, who''ll drive us over to our''Pursuit''?"
44862Now-- are you sure you are all right-- and that you can stay awake?"
44862Now-- when do I start?"
44862Oh, Linda, why did n''t we wake up at six?"
44862Oh, how could he keep the news from his mother?
44862Oh, what has happened?"
44862Or is it just the heat and the rush?"
44862Or was it because she was a girl that his manner seemed so superior, so condescending?
44862Or would you rather have a regular breakfast in bed?"
44862Ralph Clavering?"
44862Remember?
44862She is n''t engaged to Ralph, is she?"
44862So shall I put yours away for you?"
44862Something about the theft, I believe.... Well, dear, I''ll send up some raspberries-- or would you rather have cantaloupe?"
44862Strange lands-- or his ranch out west-- or perhaps her mother?
44862Such a handsome boy, so charming-- why did he have to be so unfair to Ted?
44862Suppose it should pancake?
44862That could n''t have been Mackay we met on that field-- Mackay disguised, or anything?"
44862Then there were two planes?"
44862Then why was he sneaking around so funny last night?
44862Then, turning anxiously to Roger,"Have you any news of my father?"
44862Then, turning to Linda,"What''s the German word for help?"
44862Then, turning to her aunt,"But is my car here, Aunt Emily?
44862Unhurt?"
44862Very wealthy?"
44862Was Ted really involved in the affair?
44862Was it possible that this great honor should come to her, when she had merely performed her duty, and been thankful to be able to do it?
44862Was this the surprise she had so mysteriously mentioned, and if so, what was Louise''s part in it?
44862We could n''t buy another daughter, could we, Emily?"
44862Were he and this thief in partnership, playing a wicked game, and had Ted hired the man because he would not let them know his part in the robbery?
44862What could he possibly have against Ted?
44862What could it all mean?
44862What did she know about the wickedness of criminals?
44862What good would her lovely plane be to her, if she were never allowed to pilot it herself?
44862What of?
44862What right had she, she asked herself, to pry into Ted''s affairs?
44862What sort of costume will you wear?"
44862What were a few pearls, anyway, in comparison to her precious girl?
44862What were they up to now?
44862What would this sort of thing do to that?
44862What''s he been doing?"
44862When does she wish to start?"
44862Where is he?"
44862Who is he?
44862Why are we going out back of the house?"
44862Why did n''t he come over and speak to you?"
44862Why was there always some drawback to rich people, she wondered?
44862Why, Emily, you do n''t think I''d be willing to take any chances with my only child, do you-- if I did n''t consider it safe?"
44862Why?
44862Why?...
44862Without even Ralph?"
44862Wo n''t that be fun?"
44862Would Linda be able to guide the plane there, or must they be dashed against the tree- tops, to meet a sickening death?
44862Would n''t that suit you?"
44862You do n''t expect to be one of those independent girls who insist upon earning their own living, do you, dear?"
44862You do n''t know which nurse it was?"
44862You have n''t forgotten your promise?"
44862You have n''t seen it, have you?"
44862You remember Jen?"
44862You seem to know my name----""There were some letters in your pocket-- don''t you remember?
44862You will forgive me?"
44862You will go, wo n''t you, dear?"
44862You would n''t be afraid?"
44862You''re Robin Hood, are n''t you?"
44862You''re going with me, are n''t you?"
44862You-- you heard about the necklace?"
45417All right for me to shin up?
45417All set?
45417All set?
45417An''Marse Joyce figured he''d beat it to Rooshia jes''as soon as he could put his han''s on de plans?
45417And he let you go after you''d worked for him all that time?
45417And how do you expect to do that without being nabbed right off the bat?
45417And if your father really wrote a letter to you, and they knew it-- why did they wait nearly three months before they tried to steal it?
45417And they would n''t believe you, eh?
45417And what''s on the farther side of the Joyce property?
45417And what''s the other?
45417And what,asked the portly gentleman, coming at once to the point,"will you take for that motor, Miss Dixon?"
45417And when you sight the historic mansion?
45417And why did they start in using strong arm stuff right off the bat?
45417And you want to come? 45417 And-- and you carried me all this way?"
45417Are n''t hurt, are you?
45417Are you deaf?
45417Are you hurt, Bill?
45417Are you just stubborn, or in your dotage? 45417 Betty, be- have, will you?
45417Betty, you stay here, and--"And have them break in the back door while you two are in the front hall? 45417 But do n''t you see?
45417But do n''t you think you''d better get out your revolver, Dorothy? 45417 But how come, Dorothy?"
45417But how on earth can we find it in the dark?
45417But how on earth-- did they say anything about the contents of the letter?
45417But if Joyce was in business with Mr. Conway, why did n''t Stoker mention that?
45417But is the rope long enough?
45417But not so good on a rainy night, eh? 45417 But please tell me what it is you''re trying to find?"
45417But suppose this one is?
45417But suppose those men have come back?
45417But tell me-- what did you do to that crew outside?
45417But that does n''t get us anywhere, does it?
45417But there is a way out?
45417But what plans?
45417But what''ll you do about my slicker, Bill? 45417 But what''s that rabbit got to do with our tracks?"
45417But what''s the use of hangin''round?
45417But what_ was_ Joyce after?
45417But who is this Mr. Joyce you speak of, Uncle?
45417But who''s going to wash all these dishes?
45417But will the tree hold us both? 45417 But your wet clothes, Miss Dixon?"
45417But-- suppose you are n''t able to get to a window?
45417By the way, Mrs. Johnson, I wonder if we can trespass on your good humor still further?
45417Can you run now?
45417Catch anything?
45417Count yourself out? 45417 D''you think I''d let_ Wispy_ mash up my best friend?
45417Den yo''all knows Marse George?
45417Did you bring some extra gas for_ Wispy_?
45417Did you find the book he wanted?
45417Did you get the police?
45417Did you speak?
45417Do n''t answer me back that way, do you hear?
45417Do n''t tell me you can actually see to dodge these branches and tree trunks?
45417Do you come from New Canaan?
45417Do you happen to have an extra car that we could borrow for a few hours?
45417Do you happen to have the copy that was sent you, here in the house?
45417Do you know where Mr. Joyce and his men are now?
45417Do you know where they are?
45417Do you know who he is?
45417Do you mind saying how much?
45417Do you really think they''ve gone?
45417Do you think I''m enjoying this? 45417 Do you think he really is mixed up with J. J. J. in this business?"
45417Do you think it possible that old Lewis knew that your Father wrote you that letter-- and believes that it''s in this house? 45417 Do you think the letter Mr. Conway is supposed to have written Stoker could possibly have had anything to do with patents?"
45417Do? 45417 Dollars?"
45417Dorothy''s some little bargainer, ai n''t she?
45417Everything all right?
45417Going to call up Stoker?
45417Got any ideas?
45417Got your knitting and everything? 45417 Had n''t I better call in Marse Bill?"
45417Had n''t I better carry it down the hill?
45417Had n''t you better introduce your friends? 45417 Has Mr. Lewis ever spoken to you about it?"
45417Has yo''all heard de news, Liza?
45417Have you read it, Conway?
45417He''s such a good- looking boy, too-- don''t tell me they''ve killed him or anything?
45417Heard about you both-- who has n''t? 45417 Him and me both, eh?
45417Ho-- how come I ca n''t do it, Abe? 45417 How about it, Uncle Abe?
45417How about me?
45417How about me?
45417How about the chances we''ll take in breaking into Nearma?
45417How about the coffee, Bill?
45417How about the fame you won in the diamond smuggling case? 45417 How come Marse Bill was able ter build dat engin''?
45417How come, uncle?
45417How did you find out?
45417How did you happen to go there last night?
45417How did you know there was a river down in the valley?
45417How do we get to it, Uncle?
45417How do we know that friend Joyce has n''t got hold of Stoker and possibly Terry, too?
45417How do you do it?
45417How do you figure that?
45417How do you get that way, Betty? 45417 How far does it go?"
45417How in the world did you manage this?
45417How many are still here?
45417How safe?
45417How should I know?
45417How''s that?
45417I said why keep the secret to yourself? 45417 I suppose you know the cook over there, Uncle?"
45417I suppose you want me to open it?
45417I wonder why Father did n''t tell me of those plans?
45417In other words, why must you put in your foot every time you open your mouth? 45417 Is folks a- follerin''yo''chill''un?"
45417Is n''t he perfectly sweet?
45417Is n''t it terrible?
45417Is that all clear?
45417Is that you, Dorothy?
45417Is there another way?
45417Is your ladyship ready to go now?
45417It''s about time we beat it over to Stoker''s, do n''t you think?
45417It''s none of my particular business, of course, but would you mind telling me the reason for all this rough house? 45417 Jones''Aircraft Power Plants, was n''t it?"
45417Joyce could n''t try to steal patents registered in Mr. Conway''s name, could he?
45417Let''s see-- where was I? 45417 Look here, supper''s nearly ready, and since I''ve set everybody else to work, suppose I give you a job, too?
45417Mind if I come in for a minute or two?
45417Mr. Lewis, do you mind if I take it home with me?
45417Must be what?
45417Near ma?
45417Nice lady- like reputation, what?
45417No-- have you?
45417Not afraid to stay here, are you?
45417Not very subtle, were they? 45417 Obey orders?"
45417Oh, is he? 45417 Oh, is that so?
45417Oh, you do, do you?
45417Oh,_ yeah_?
45417Old Lewis?
45417Open up, do you hear, River? 45417 Questions?"
45417Right here? 45417 River?
45417Say, are you crazy, or am I?
45417Say, it''s great, the way you''ve pitched in here-- did you have a hard time finding things?
45417See here, will you pipe down?
45417So you think it was your tracks we followed?
45417So you''d been surprised, eh?
45417Some wonderworker, is n''t she?
45417Surely you''re not going to show a light?
45417Taking a--_warm_?
45417That''s interesting-- wonder what he wants with George?
45417That''s the question--_can_ we do anything?
45417The letter is--?
45417The one you saw, Terry?
45417The super''s house is right across the reservation from here, if I recall rightly?
45417The white one in the trees?
45417Then who is?
45417Think we''d better get back to the house?
45417Think you can find the cart road?
45417Think you could pilot us down there and give those guys in the woods the miss?
45417Those guys below us know we''re up here, so what does it matter?
45417Turn to the right?
45417Uncle Abe,she said, looking straight into his shining eyes,"do you really like living up there in the woods, all by yourself?"
45417Wat''s all dis I''m a- hearin''?
45417We want some clothesline, to tie up these here nuisances-- an''if you do n''t cough some up right now-- I''ll bump you off, see?
45417Well, I apologize for us all,Bill leaned across the table,"we were only kidding you-- weren''t we, Betty?"
45417Well, Uncle?
45417Well, are you game?
45417Well, then you must have read about Mr. Bolton, here, too? 45417 Well, we''ve got to get off this reservation-- how are we going to do it?"
45417Well, what of it? 45417 Well, what''s the dope?"
45417Well, what''s the dope?
45417Well, what''s the good word now, Dorothy?
45417Well, why ca n''t you help me?
45417Well, why do n''t you speak?
45417Well-- what do you think we''ve run into-- a college houseparty or something?
45417Well?
45417Whar dey at?
45417What I mean is, could you hear the bell ring in Stoker''s house?
45417What I want to know,she said in conclusion,"is how they happened to catch you napping-- and what''s become of George Conway and Betty?"
45417What are we going to do?
45417What are you doing?
45417What are you talking about?
45417What are you trying to do, Bill, evade my question?
45417What are you waiting for?
45417What business is that of yours?
45417What can I do for you?
45417What can those people be after if it is n''t the patents on Mr. Conway''s inventions?
45417What d''you take us for-- a pair of fools? 45417 What dey doin''uphyar in de woods at dis time o''night?"
45417What did I tell you?
45417What did his card say, I mean?
45417What do you plan to do? 45417 What fo''yo''all chasin''dese hyar chillun in de woods?"
45417What happened tonight, before we came?
45417What if they wo n''t let us in?
45417What is it you''re driving at?
45417What is it?
45417What kept you so long, Bill?
45417What of it? 45417 What on earth is it?"
45417What patents?
45417What price rock salt?
45417What rope?
45417What say? 45417 What say?"
45417What say?
45417What say?
45417What say?
45417What trails were you on?
45417What tree?
45417What''ll I do if it''s locked?
45417What''s become of them?
45417What''s that got to do with it? 45417 What''s the matter?"
45417What''s the next move?
45417What''s your big idea, Terry?
45417What-- what are you afraid of, Dorothy?
45417What-- what''s the matter?
45417What? 45417 What?"
45417Where am I?
45417Where are the plans, and what has the book to do with them?
45417Where are we?
45417Where are your visitors?
45417Where did all these swell eggs come from, Uncle?
45417Where do they keep the bread box in this house, anyway?
45417Where do we go from here?
45417Where do you get this''we''stuff?
45417Where do you suppose it goes?
45417Where have that boy and girl gone to?
45417Which one is that?
45417Which way is that woodlot trail from here?
45417Who are you-- and what do you want?
45417Who dat?
45417Who goes first? 45417 Who was that man, Uncle Abe?"
45417Who won the game?
45417Who would?
45417Who''s there?
45417Why are you so sure?
45417Why do n''t you do something, Chick?
45417Why not get them up here now?
45417Why not? 45417 Why so sarcastic?"
45417Why? 45417 Wonder who he''s working for?"
45417Yeah? 45417 Yes, yes, what of it?"
45417Yes? 45417 Yes?"
45417You did?
45417You do n''t know? 45417 You mean-- where we''re bound for?"
45417You mean-- which he left to Stoker?
45417You must be almost as good as Betty that is, I mean--"Who''s taking my name in vain?
45417You say that his father and Mr. Joyce were friends-- that they had dealings of some sort together?
45417You think they may still be in the offing?
45417You think, then, that he sold them before his death?
45417You''ve seen him before?
45417_ George?_exploded Dorothy.
45417_ He_ talked loud enough,--quite an old gentleman, is n''t he?
45417_ We?_Dorothy''s tone was richly sarcastic.
45417_ Where?_they cried in chorus.
45417A cup of tea, now, to warm you up and some of these nice crisp crullers I made yesterday?
45417All sereno here, I take it?"
45417All set?"
45417An''what do we use fer rope?"
45417And I suppose, after being up here for nearly ten years, you can find your way about in those woods?"
45417And how''s Betty tonight?
45417And to be honest, how can you expect me to guess the right answers when you do n''t know them yourself?
45417And what am I to do while you''re in the house mixing it up with those thugs?
45417And what is my important work to consist of?"
45417Answer me, ca n''t you?"
45417Any place in this hotel where I can wash and slick up a bit, Uncle?"
45417Bad night, is n''t it?"
45417Been reading the British poets or something?"
45417Bill Bolton, the flyer--?"
45417Bill, do you think they''ll find the chimney?"
45417Buckshot, at that distance?"
45417But are you sure I ca n''t tempt you to stay for Sunday dinner?
45417But how did you happen to be in here?"
45417But maybe there was no firm-- of Joyce and Conway?
45417But tell me, Auntie-- do you know where they''re keeping this young man?"
45417But there''s no hurry about your leavin'', is there?
45417But what did such trifles matter when one was bent upon a great achievement?
45417But what do you think''s happened?"
45417But where are Betty and George?"
45417By the way, do they teach English or just plain Connecticut Yankee at the New Canaan High?
45417By the way, which side of the river have you got the bus parked?"
45417Call Terry in, will you?
45417Can we come in out of the wet for a little while?"
45417Can you hear what they''re saying in the next room?"
45417Chapter VIII THE CHIMNEY Then on her right she heard a soft rustling, immediately followed by a low call:"Dorothy, where are you?"
45417Chapter XIV THE LION''S DEN"No answer at all?"
45417Could you slide down ours and untie that from the bushes, then shin up again?"
45417Did you leave your gun in the library, George?"
45417Do n''t you remember the movies last night?
45417Do you expect me to stick out here with the car and see that somebody does n''t steal the tires?"
45417Do you feel able to go on now?"
45417Do you know what happened to their car?"
45417Do you think I''m going to let you walk into that place alone?"
45417Do you want them out after us?
45417Ever been in the Reservation, Bill?"
45417Except--"here Dorothy looked stern,"I do n''t approve of your housekeeping methods-- I had to scour the frying pan twice, sir, do you realize that?"
45417Have you any suggestions to give us?"
45417Have you boys had supper?"
45417He was such a darling looking boy and--""My goodness-- what have his looks got to do with it?
45417Hear it just over there to the right?"
45417How about you, Uncle Abe?"
45417How are you making out?"
45417How can any of us learn anything unless you give Stoker a chance to get on with his story?"
45417How dat man goin''ter keep all dose young folks locked in his house while he try to sell dem plans?
45417How did you get here?"
45417How did you get it?"
45417How do you know Joyce''s men have n''t got them tied up in the house?"
45417How in the wide world did you ever get rouge on the end of your nose?
45417How is it done?"
45417How would you like to live in quarters over our garage and work for my father?
45417How''ll that be?"
45417I hope you do n''t mind my mentioning such a prosaic thing-- but do you happen to have anything to eat in the house?"
45417I thought dat de plans was lost?"
45417I''m soaked nearly to my waist-- how about you?"
45417If Mr. Conway still owned patent rights on his inventions, why were n''t they mentioned in the will?"
45417If there is one, how is it going to help us?"
45417If you know the way out, why do n''t you say so?"
45417Is dat what yo''all wanter know, ma''am?"
45417Is it far away?"
45417Is n''t it possible that Mr. Joyce may have acted as Mr. Conway''s agent-- sold the inventions for him, perhaps?
45417Is that clear to you, Betty?"
45417Is there much farther to go?"
45417Johnson?"
45417Joyce?"
45417Let''s see-- where was I?"
45417May I use your telephone?"
45417Now tell me-- are you going to pull yourself together and be of some help?
45417Park the car near the road, hike back through the woods and cut over toward the house from that side?"
45417Pass the word on to the rest of the boys about them dead beats that''s botherin''people on the Reservation, will you?"
45417People who live in glass houses, you know--?"
45417Pretty good guess, eh?"
45417Remember what I trotted into with Betty at Stoker''s house?"
45417Snap out of it, wo n''t you, Betty?"
45417So do n''t put him wise, will you?"
45417Talk of hunting needles in a--""But do we need it?"
45417That is, I s''pose they''re yours?"
45417That''s a bad eye you''ve got-- been in a fight?"
45417There''s another-- hear it?"
45417They said they''d come for the letter Father had left for me to read after his death--""And you did n''t give it to them?"
45417This young lady in overalls is Miss Dixon, I take it?"
45417Turn your mind upon the answer of that dear old song,''Where do we go from here?''"
45417Wat you want I should do, Miss Do''thy?"
45417We''ll talk it over at supper, shall we?"
45417Whar was dey?"
45417What are we going to do about it?"
45417What can we do but knock them up and ask for shelter?"
45417What could have happened to him?
45417What could his objective be?
45417What do you bet I spot the motive in this mysterious case of Stoker''s?"
45417What do you pretend you were doing, anyway?"
45417What do you say?"
45417What do you suppose they were after?"
45417What is it, Uncle?"
45417What on earth was he going to do now?
45417What river?
45417When I could n''t find the book for old Lewis, what do you think he said?"
45417When yo''alls done wid dem, p''raps yo''ll wake de young missy, an''carry de bucket in yonder?"
45417Where are they?"
45417Where are you, anyway?"
45417Where do you want me to start?"
45417Where''s your boy friend?"
45417Where?"
45417Who is dis hyar boy wid you, Uncle?"
45417Who yo''all a- lookin''fo''?"
45417Who''s going to do the hunting?"
45417Why did n''t we think of him before?"
45417Why did n''t you wake me up?"
45417Why did those men attack you and tie you up-- what were they doing around here?"
45417Why was Hilltop sold?"
45417Wonder what the J in John J. Joyce stands for?"
45417Wonder what''s become of Stoker and Betty?"
45417You came up this way, did n''t you?"
45417You can go into the dining room and set the table.--Bill, you''re a good cook-- how about starting the coffee?
45417You must be nearly dead--""Well, there have been times when I''ve felt more peppy--""How could you, Bill?
45417You or me?"
45417You want that shoe so as to prevent anyone else from finding it, the men who are chasing us, for instance?"
45417You''d never take her for the same person, would you?"
45417You-- killed them?
45417_ Where are your visitors?_"The old man spat with great precision on to a glowing cinder.
45417does n''t she?"
45417he thundered,"What do you mean by bandying words with me?"
45417so you put the spotlight on me, do you?"
48478A fake?
48478A long trip?
48478About how much?
48478All alone?
48478All right, then let''s forget her.... Can you stay for dinner, Linda?
48478An airplane?
48478And do I have to fork out another hundred?
48478And how about the Pursuit? 48478 And how would you live, after you finish at the school?"
48478And if anything should happen, so that you had to come down in the water, would it float?
48478And if we should happen to locate the man, what shall we do? 48478 And then you will want to fly back home?"
48478And they''ve actually agreed to sell this to you?
48478And use up all your money?
48478And what did you say?
48478And what, Daughter?
48478And when shall I hear definitely from you?
48478And why not get married?
48478And will you promise me tomorrow night, Linda?
48478And will_ you_ belong to the club?
48478Are n''t you cold?
48478Are n''t you taking an awful chance letting her off?
48478Are they?
48478Are you a pilot yet, Kitty?
48478Are you crazy?
48478Are you in earnest?
48478Are you ready to confess?
48478Are you sure you do n''t love Ted Mackay?
48478Are you sure, Harry?
48478At the party?
48478Autogiro?
48478Because if this man Hofstatter did n''t buy from the Convent, who did? 48478 Bess?"
48478Business?
48478But Daddy, are n''t you going to even try to solve the mystery?
48478But Daddy, why?
48478But are n''t you the young lady who''s supposed to be so interested in aviation?
48478But as a loan? 48478 But do you know the way?"
48478But how could she ever know we were here? 48478 But how could they, Daddy?"
48478But how could we see him?
48478But how did they discover him?
48478But how did you happen on such a thing as this?
48478But ought n''t you to let her know immediately that the wedding will be postponed? 48478 But perhaps we could Page 166:["Locked up?
48478But suppose Kitty drops him as she did Maurice, then what will happen to the poor people who have invested their money in the club?
48478But tell me, Miss Carlton, have you heard of any others who are planning to try for this prize?
48478But was n''t it hard luck for her?
48478But what can we do, Lou?
48478But what has that to do with me, Ralph? 48478 But what shall we say to him?"
48478But what?
48478But where are we going?
48478But where is Anna Smith?
48478But why be so stingy about yourself? 48478 But why did you wait all this time to come to a doctor?"
48478But why should I make it possible for you to win the prize, when Miss Haydock and I want to win it ourselves?
48478But why?
48478But you are willing for me to go to the ground school?
48478But you do like me?
48478But you wo n''t be flying for a while now, will you Miss Carlton?
48478But-- this doctor in Philadelphia----?
48478By the way, have you picked out your plane?
48478By the way, where is she? 48478 Ca n''t you guess, Daddy?"
48478Can you come in here a minute, dear?
48478Can you imagine her in Paris, Linda? 48478 Can you spare the time-- say about three o''clock-- from your social engagements?"
48478Could I-- take Miss Haydock with me?
48478Daddy, are you as happy in your new work as I am in mine?
48478Did Linda tell you about it?
48478Did n''t they promise you?
48478Did n''t you get my telegram, Aunt Emily?
48478Did n''t you try to ruin Linda''s life?
48478Did seventy- six people actually buy thousand- dollar bonds?
48478Did you call him Harriman?
48478Did you see her?
48478Did you send her one, Linda?
48478Do me a favor, Harry, old man?
48478Do n''t you just love it the way other people always want to run your life?
48478Do n''t you like her? 48478 Do we need bail or anything?"
48478Do you happen to know a man named J. W. Carwein-- an importer and wholesale dealer in fine linens?
48478Do you happen to know the young lady flyers, Miss Smith?
48478Do you mind if I do?
48478Do you really mean that, Lou? 48478 Do you think we ought to change our clothing before we order dinner?"
48478Does n''t she have her own plane any more?
48478Does this mean you wo n''t fly with me to Paris?
48478Even if I rush the trip?
48478Everything all right?
48478Flying? 48478 Flying?"
48478Had n''t I better give you some for your ticket home, and for a telegram to your husband?
48478Had you marked the goods too high, Daddy?
48478Happened? 48478 Has Ted come yet?"
48478Has anything happened?
48478Has she given up the idea of competing for that prize?
48478Have a good time, Lou?
48478Have her people money?
48478Have you a date for tonight, Lou?
48478Have you written that to Ted?
48478How are you today?
48478How can I, Bess?
48478How can I-- now? 48478 How could she ever dump out our gas, in so short a time?"
48478How do I know?
48478How do you happen to be here, Ted?
48478How do you know they went on a long trip?
48478How else would they get it?
48478How long are they staying?
48478I guess you do n''t even know yet whether you''re in the U.S. or not?
48478I may ask you again?
48478I mean so high that this other man could afford to sell for less, and still make money?
48478I''ll get my map and directions tomorrow?
48478I''m not being selfish-- and dragging you with me?
48478Imported?
48478In case I do n''t get another dance with you tonight?
48478Into business?
48478Is Lou going?
48478Is the carfare there very much? 48478 It''s always the future with you.... Well, what''s on your mind now?"
48478Jail?
48478Just what is your business, Miss Hulbert?
48478Linda darling, have n''t you guessed what it is all about?
48478Linda, do you feel very terrible about losing the Arrow?
48478Linda, will you tell me the truth about this: Would you mind if I-- I-- cared a whole lot about Ted?
48478Linda-- Louise--?
48478Linda? 48478 Locked up?
48478Lou, are you safe?
48478Lou, will you go riding with me tomorrow night, and paint the town red, because it''s my last night home?
48478Louise wo n''t go with you now, will she?
48478Making a get- away, are you?
48478May I say something?
48478May I see it?
48478Me?
48478Miss Carlton would rather stay over night, anyway, would n''t you?
48478Miss Hulbert?
48478Mr. Clavering is very kindly donating the land-- two hundred acres north of Spring City, is n''t it, Kitty?
48478Next week?
48478No mechanic-- no navigator with you?
48478No? 48478 Not love?"
48478Now tell me,he said,"what you two young ladies were doing flying a plane up here on the border in the dead of winter?"
48478O. K. But Linda, have you considered snow and sleet? 48478 Of course it''s expensive?"
48478Of course we fly?
48478Oh, Lou, you really want to?
48478Oh, can you give us shelter, please?
48478Oh, is that so?
48478Oh, yeah? 48478 Ought we to wash these dishes?"
48478Pardon me, but is it something personal? 48478 Really?
48478Reform?
48478Remember the day I showed my handkerchief to the girls, and explained all about where Daddy was getting them? 48478 Smugglers?"
48478So you can fly over the ocean-- after that prize?
48478So you''re ordering a Bellanca long- distance mono- plane?
48478Sure it is n''t because that will be near Kansas City-- where he is?
48478Sure you do n''t mind flying?
48478Thank you, Mr. Eckers,replied Linda, blushing at his praise...."How long shall I be gone-- on this trip, I mean?"
48478That I could n''t decide, without talking to you.... Now, what do you think?
48478The landing-- or the birds?
48478The last one? 48478 Then it''s all settled?"
48478Then-- then-- instead of a trust fund could I have the money for two purposes?
48478Then-- then--She clutched her companion''s arm, desperately--"Then we jump?"
48478Today? 48478 Tomorrow?"
48478Tonight?
48478Two down?
48478Very well.... Have you guessed what I wanted to talk to you about?
48478We ca n''t keep anything from you, can we, Linda?
48478Well, Miss Carlton, we''ve been having some excitement, eh, what?
48478Well, do you know what I believe? 48478 Well, what is it?"
48478What do you mean?
48478What do you say if we cut out the stop at Montreal altogether?
48478What do you see?
48478What do you think?
48478What explanation? 48478 What for?"
48478What for?
48478What happened to you last night?
48478What happened to your plane?
48478What has changed?
48478What has gone wrong?
48478What is the matter? 48478 What is the name of the firm?"
48478What kind of course, Miss Carlton?
48478What made you think of coming to tell me, Harry?
48478What makes you say that?
48478What sort of thing would you prefer?
48478What will you wear?
48478What with?
48478What wreck?
48478What young ladies?
48478What''s that?
48478What''s that?
48478What''s the matter, Bess?
48478What''s the matter, Linda?
48478What''s the matter, Linda?
48478What''s the matter, Ralph?
48478What''s this?
48478What''s your big news, Ralph?
48478What''s your idea of a way to spend our time here?
48478What?
48478What?
48478What?
48478When can I start?
48478When did she go?
48478When did this happen?
48478When do you expect to go?
48478When do you plan to fly across the ocean?
48478Where are you going, Linda?
48478Where are your manners, Jim?
48478Where have you been?
48478Where have you been?
48478Where is Amy Johnson?
48478Where is Lou?
48478Where is she going now?
48478Where would we ever get the money for such a plane?
48478Where''s that Hulbert woman?
48478Where?
48478Who can it be?
48478Who do?
48478Who is this Lieutenant?
48478Who said anything about a forced landing?
48478Who''s there?
48478Who? 48478 Why all the dignity?"
48478Why do n''t you do it?
48478Why have n''t I a''Daddy''like that?
48478Why not drive in once a week with vegetables? 48478 Why not try having it cleaned?"
48478Why the sigh, Linda?
48478Why two?
48478Why, Ralph?
48478Why-- now?
48478Why? 48478 Why?"
48478Will you believe it, when I tell you that my heart just bled for you?
48478Will you come here and go to the dance with us?
48478Will you give me a job here when I finish?
48478Will you start a trousseau with it?
48478With another girl?
48478Wo n''t a train seem slow?
48478Wo n''t it be marvelous to be home? 48478 Wo n''t you even listen to our story?"
48478Wo n''t you please send my father a telegram?
48478Would I?
48478Would n''t you rather be sledding, my dear?
48478Would you ever believe, a thing like that if you read it?
48478Yeah? 48478 Yes, it seems funny, does n''t it?
48478Yes, why are n''t we? 48478 Yes?"
48478You are Linda Carlton?
48478You are Miss Smith?
48478You are going to let me go?
48478You are sure you are not afraid?
48478You did n''t bring any coffee, did you?
48478You did n''t see Linda or Louise-- in the course of your trip, did you?
48478You did n''t? 48478 You do love to get me into society, do n''t you, Aunt Emily?"
48478You do n''t mean that you expect to take a regular paid position in aviation after you graduate, do you?
48478You do n''t suppose any of those spoiled babies would fly in this kind of weather, do you? 48478 You girls have never flown in a snowstorm, have you?"
48478You have?
48478You mean Lieutenant Hulbert?
48478You mean marry Kitty Clavering?
48478You mean she has the Club''s plane again?
48478You mean that?
48478You mean to try to find him in Plattsburg?
48478You mean women like Amelia Earhart?
48478You mean you want us to go on eating all night?
48478You mean you''ll always have Ted, in case things go wrong with your plane?
48478You really cared-- for my sake?
48478You really think it''s necessary?
48478You really wo n''t go, Lou?
48478You really would like to be married next week?
48478You said outside of Montreal, did n''t you?
48478You want my son?
48478You wo n''t need the money, Daddy?
48478You''ll come back and have dinner with us, wo n''t you, Ted?
48478You''re afraid I wo n''t be able to support you, later on?
48478You''re not afraid, are you, Linda?
48478You''re not nervous, after your narrow escape?
48478You-- you will stay with me?
48478Your bridesmaid?
48478Your husband has a farm, has n''t he?
48478Your names----?
48478Your white chiffon?
48478''Our Lady of Mercy,''is n''t it?"
48478( Why, oh why, she wondered, is everybody against me?)
48478A new plane?
48478And Bess had mentioned her brother-- was it possible he had lost money too?
48478And did n''t you admit you''d just come from that Convent, and did n''t you show my friend Marshall here, some of the goods?"
48478And how do we know your plane was n''t a gray Moth?
48478And in the darkness, what hope was there of finding a tree to climb?
48478And what are you planning now?"
48478And where would it get you in the end?
48478And you got your license when, Miss Carlton?"
48478Are n''t you pleased, Linda?"
48478Are you all well again after that terrible accident?"
48478Are you going on with the chase?"
48478Are you still game?"
48478Beach?"
48478Because we have n''t heard from them since the twenty- seventh?"
48478But I thought she was practically engaged to Maurice Stetson?"
48478But I''m sure everything he has is tied up in his business.... Linda, why are n''t we rich like Kitty Clavering?"
48478But Kitty, have you any idea what a good plane costs?
48478But can you afford it?"
48478But do you remember hearing a plane land near to ours, while we were in the Convent?"
48478But how could they hope to, against such an experienced flyer as Miss Hulbert?
48478But if I could borrow a little?"
48478But seriously, Linda, could I or could n''t I wear it Saturday night to that dance Ted and his boy friend are taking us to?"
48478But tell me, Kitty, is the club- house all done?"
48478But that''s not quite fair to Harry, is it?"
48478But was n''t it lucky we had something to eat at the Convent?"
48478But we would n''t dare take a chance in your Pursuit, would we?"
48478But what about your Aunt Emily?
48478But what shall we say when we call?"
48478But where were they now?
48478But why not send home for another?"
48478But you could never raise that much, could you, Kit?"
48478Ca n''t we be married now?...
48478Ca n''t you map out our route to New York tonight, and send him a special- delivery letter?
48478Can you come?
48478Can you get us a taxi?"
48478Can you picture those holidays in a boarding- house?"
48478Can you wait about twenty minutes?"
48478Can you-- could you find a way to get us to a train tomorrow?"
48478Could you find something for me, Auntie?"
48478Dad has a big idea-- you know how he longs to get me into business?
48478Did he mean to kidnap her and her chum?
48478Did you give her the once- over yourself?
48478Did you know, by the way, that Louise refused to buy a bond?"
48478Do n''t you know it''s a government regulation that wrecked planes must be reported as soon as possible?"
48478Do n''t you think it''s an absolute wash- out?"
48478Do you suppose that could be done, Bess?"
48478Do you think she will worry?"
48478Does n''t it sound thrilling?"
48478Even now, when you have my confession-- when I tell you I''ve reformed?"
48478Give up a wonderful trip like this, just to go to an old dance?
48478Had they crossed into New York state-- were they flying in the northern part, or were they still in Canada?
48478Had they merely been forced down in some lonely spot where there was no means of telegraphing, or had they met with some more serious accident?
48478Harris?"
48478Have n''t they always come through with flying colors?"
48478Have you your flashlight handy?"
48478Hofstatter''--or rather, Mr. Hofstatter''s employer?"
48478How about it, Aunt Emily?"
48478How about this cerise taffeta?
48478How are you going to prove that?
48478How could she have gotten word of your father''s business?"
48478How do your feet feel this morning?"
48478How long could they endure the cold?
48478How much do you care for him?"
48478How much food were they carrying, and what about blankets?
48478How to get out of these woods?"
48478I suppose you''re not flying anywhere today?"
48478I''ll let your father tell you while I go to look after the dinner.... You''re all right, dear?
48478I''ll never be able to walk, and how can we get to civilization if we do n''t?"
48478I''m afraid you could n''t raise so much money, could you?"
48478I''m not supposed to teach her, or anything like that, am I?"
48478Is your father sick-- or hurt?"
48478It was close quarters in the little cabin plane, but who cared?
48478Kidnaped?"
48478Kidnapped?"
48478Kidnapped?"
48478Linda smiled; how could she tell her aunt, without appearing conceited, that Louise was not capable of such a feat?
48478Louis?"
48478Louise?"
48478Make an appointment?"
48478No accidents?"
48478Not really?"
48478Not that I''d put it past her-- but how could she possibly find out, or guess what we were up to?"
48478Now Kitty, when do we eat?"
48478Now, at this late date, was her aunt going to put forth objections?
48478One of those new- fangled autogiros?"
48478Or is it a house- party?"
48478Remember how interested she was-- and even knew the name of the Convent?"
48478Rescue was surely at hand; the question now arose: what sort of human being had them at his mercy?
48478She cut classes today-- isn''t sick, is she?"
48478Suppose Linda could get through the fog with her Arrow, would the trip be all in vain?
48478That Louise will go with you now, as she promised?"
48478Then he suddenly remembered her proposed flight over the ocean, and stopped:"But Linda, is n''t it your greatest hope to fly the Atlantic?"
48478Then, drying her eyes, she added,"And how much do I owe you, Doctor?"
48478There ca n''t be any rush about your finding your boarding- house, is there?"
48478They''re hard to get, then?"
48478They''re run something like Country Clubs, are n''t they?
48478Was it possible that the baby was dead-- or dying?
48478Was that the reason he was staying away from her?
48478Was their rescuer bad, after all?
48478Well, I do n''t happen to believe that.... What I do know, is you did n''t stop at the border for the regular search, did you?"
48478Were these nuns, living their quiet lives, used to airplanes, or would they resent the noise, breaking in upon their meditations and work?
48478What could have brought them up here to Plattsburg?
48478What did you say?"
48478What do you suppose made him do that?"
48478What makes you think so?
48478What were they both trying to hide?
48478What''s on?"
48478What''s the use of wasting time?
48478Where can she be now?"
48478Where have you been these last two days?"
48478Where is he, Linda?"
48478Who''d want more?"
48478Why not take my money and go on-- at a loss-- for a while?"
48478Why not?"
48478Why, Ted Mackay----""Have you heard from him lately, Linda?"
48478Why?
48478Why?"
48478Why?"
48478Will you go to the dance with me tonight?"
48478Will you have my dinner sent up to my room?"
48478Wo n''t you have mercy on me-- let bygones be bygones, if I give you my word of honor I''ve reformed?"
48478Would she be risking her own life, to watch the child die in her mother''s arms?...
48478Would you ever think any trimming could be so clever?
48478Would you like to do it?"
48478You did n''t go with any of the boys?"
48478You do n''t need the cabin, do you?"
48478You expect to go home for the holidays too, do n''t you?
48478You know Miss Mason, perhaps?"
48478You know about them?"
48478You understand?"
48478You wo n''t be hurt?"
48478You''d trust to my judgment?"
48478You''ll promise that?"
48478You''re not really counting on that ocean trip?"
48478but she could not think of the French word for"impostor,"and besides, what was the use of telling all this to these simple- hearted sisters?
48478demanded Ralph] was changed to"Locked up?
45174A Hun, eh?
45174Ah-- incidentally-- saving my life, and making the capture of this gang possible?
45174All set?
45174All set?
45174An airplane-- one that can land either on water or on land?
45174And get another piece bit out of me arm?
45174And how, may I ask, do you figure that?
45174And not another peep out of you-- understand?
45174And the result in both cases is a crash?
45174And then?
45174And what has been done toward catching the thieves-- or thief?
45174And who would there be out in the wilds to admire that smart frock you''re wearing, for instance?
45174And why should Mr. Harry Perkins be so entrusted?
45174And why, in your opinion, are we making a mistake in putting you and Miss Dixon out of the running?
45174And you must taxi either before the wind, or into the wind as we are now, in seas like these?
45174And you''ve been back since the robbery, I think you said?
45174Another Packard, was it?
45174Any idea where we are?
45174Any new clues lately?
45174Are n''t you the cheeky kid, using that thing in front of me?
45174Asleep?
45174Behave, will yer? 45174 But I do need a leather coat, do n''t I?"
45174But here-- see these footprints? 45174 But if this is an airplane, why keep bouncing along on the water?
45174But was he tall or short?
45174But was n''t it awful in this wind?
45174But what could I do? 45174 But what does that mean?"
45174But where?
45174But why make the biggest mistake-- of murdering us?
45174But why not? 45174 But, Bill-- did you ever see a lame man-- whose left leg was shorter than his right?"
45174But-- why do you wear that curly mustache?
45174D''you mind saying why you were foolish enough to drop in on Perkins and put us up a tree this way?
45174D''you want us to wait here?
45174Did he say anything else?
45174Did n''t you tell me the cockpits of your N-9 were open-- that they did n''t have windshields?
45174Did the gang get away with much?
45174Did the girl and the other man wear gloves?
45174Did you investigate?
45174Did you notice if he limped?
45174Did you see anyone besides the girl with the red hair?
45174Did you talk to her?
45174Do n''t tell me the knife was poisoned?
45174Do you know anything about motors?
45174Do you mean that?
45174Do you play the violin, sir?
45174Do you think I''ll ever learn?
45174Do you think it an improvement over nature?
45174Do you think she will run fifty miles?
45174Do you think they''ll put up much of a fight?
45174Do you think you can take time enough from your life work?
45174Does that bother you?
45174Earrings?
45174Feelin''kind of woozy?
45174Forgot what I said about checking a skid just now, did n''t you?
45174Getting interested, eh?
45174Got a crush on the girl?
45174Got a gun?
45174Got my gun?
45174Has she gone nuts?
45174Have I said they did n''t? 45174 Have you washed it yet?"
45174Have you-- ever?
45174He is in a position to do the bank considerable harm-- By the way, Dorothy, are you as efficient at manicuring as you are at making up your mouth?
45174Hi, yourself,--what d''you want?
45174How about it, Bolton?
45174How about the rest of the gang?
45174How about unlocking these handcuffs, Doctor?
45174How are we goin''to make our getaway tonight with them two lads down and out upstairs?
45174How come?
45174How did you happen in here tonight?
45174How do yer get that way?
45174How far are we from the house?
45174How is our invalid, nurse?
45174How long do you suppose that will be?
45174How long will it take to teach me to fly, Bill?
45174How so?
45174How''d you guess it?
45174How''s it going?
45174How''s that?
45174How''s that?
45174I s''pose you thought you''d save_ his_ skin, at least?
45174I think so-- but how does one know when to do it?
45174I wonder how birds learn to fly?
45174I wonder how he got word to the house so quickly?
45174I wonder if they have n''t found we''re not in the wine cellar-- if they''ve charged Mike Conway with our escape?
45174I wonder what her mother would say to that? 45174 I''d rather not, if you do n''t mind?"
45174If this is n''t a rumrunner, why do you carry that machine gun and the rifles and revolvers in the armsrack?
45174In other words, she did n''t seem especially glad to see you?
45174In other words, you think we have a fifty- fifty chance with the police?
45174In what way?
45174Interesting-- but why are we heading this way?
45174Is he hurt?
45174Is n''t my car good enough for you?
45174Is n''t that called banking?
45174Is that a serious trouble?
45174Is that all?
45174Is that so?
45174Is_ that_ all?
45174Jealous, Sadie?
45174Johnny, have you the key?
45174Just like an automobile skids?
45174Keep still?
45174Kind of medium- like--"Dark hair or light?
45174Know this hold?
45174Let him bump off the pair over there-- then take him for a ride?
45174Let''s go to the movies this evening?
45174Looks like my handwriting,sighed Mr. Dixon when he had finished,"but of course I did n''t write it!--What happened after that?"
45174Miss Dixon, is n''t it?
45174More cheek?
45174More unpleasantness for you, Daddy?
45174Much better, is n''t it?
45174My face itches terribly from all that dust and I--"Well, what do yer think I am? 45174 No worse than learning to fly, is it?"
45174Nonsense?
45174Now, Lizzie, what happened next?
45174Now, Thompson, do you think you can tell us exactly what happened, before Doctor Brown drives you home?
45174Of course she had red hair and wore yellow beach pajamas?
45174Oh, really? 45174 Oh, you do know him?"
45174Oh-- you''re steering with your feet?
45174Perhaps he came down a side road?
45174Perhaps not-- but what''s the difference?
45174Rather like locking up the barn after the sheep vamoosed, is n''t it?
45174Really? 45174 Rumrunner?
45174Simply because we saw the lame man take the Ridgefield road?
45174So you think she should keep on with her flight training?
45174Sorry we had to''bag''you, as it were-- hope you suffered no great inconvenience?
45174Staten Island Sadie?
45174Steinburg Hammerfeld-- isn''t that a hot one?
45174Sure-- what did yer think I was-- a gigolo?
45174Tastes good, eh?
45174Tell me what happened in the woods after I got scragged and Mike carted me up here?
45174Tell me-- is Bill Bolton very badly hurt?
45174Then how in thunder did they cop the license plates without your seeing them?
45174Then what makes you think you''ll corner the gang at the house now?
45174Then what_ are_ we going to do?
45174Then why do you tie the leg- strap around your waist?
45174Then you landed into the wind when you came down for me?
45174There was only one man in the car-- the chauffeur?
45174They are?
45174They do?
45174They ought to help just a little, do n''t you think?
45174Think you can turn this with your teeth, Mr. Scotland Yard?
45174Those who live by the sword-- but you are familiar with the quotation, I''m sure?
45174Tired?
45174Up at New Canaan?
45174Want the job yourself?
45174Want to tell me? 45174 Was it_ my_ fault that that fellow over there landed his plane on the lake?
45174Was n''t that to be expected after what the cop told us in the bank?
45174Well, she must be!--Are you trying to kid me?
45174Well, what is it then?
45174Well, why do n''t you let me help you? 45174 Well--"Dorothy eyed him uncompromisingly--"why are you afraid of me, then?"
45174Were you able to get Dad?
45174What are you going to do?
45174What can he have up his sleeve?
45174What car was that?
45174What did the man look like, Lizzie?
45174What did you do?
45174What did you tell him?
45174What do you mean? 45174 What do you suppose that lame man was doing on Marvin Ridge?"
45174What ever_ is_ the matter with you?
45174What for?
45174What happened when you brought back the bicarb, Lizzie?
45174What if they have sentries posted?
45174What is it, Bill?
45174What is it?
45174What news?
45174What of it? 45174 What on earth is that?"
45174What time was that?
45174What yer want it for? 45174 What''s a shame?"
45174What''s happened?
45174What''s the big idea?
45174What''s the idea?
45174What''s the matter with you, Johnny? 45174 What''s the matter with you, Mike?"
45174What''s the matter?
45174What''s the use of all this?
45174What''s up?
45174What_ is_ the big idea?
45174Where are we going? 45174 Where are your eyes, girl?"
45174Where do they keep the wheelbarrer in this godforsakin''dump?
45174Where do you get your appalling strength?
45174Who are you, anyway?
45174Who taught you jiu jitsu?
45174Who then, may I ask?
45174Who''s Bill? 45174 Who''s Mike?"
45174Who''s Sadie? 45174 Who''s going to stand guard while the plane goes for the police?"
45174Why did n''t you nab him while you had the chance? 45174 Why do you do it?"
45174Why do you do that? 45174 Why do you talk such nonsense?"
45174Why do you think the gang are there now?
45174Why is it,she inquired presently,"that the plane rides so much smoother when you''re guiding her?"
45174Why not?
45174Why should I?
45174Why use a lipstick then?
45174Why, what do you mean?
45174Why? 45174 Why?"
45174Will you really let me, Dad?
45174Wo n''t it be cold?
45174Yes, that''s the number-- but-- well... did you notice it further?
45174Yes-- but what of it?
45174You brought Thompson to and cut his bonds-- then what?
45174You do?
45174You heard what our friend said about_ his_ friend-- who understands all about engines? 45174 You keep me tied up, do n''t you?
45174You mean you phoned the beach club about me?
45174You really do n''t mind, Daddy?
45174You really want to learn?
45174You want to work up the case yourself?
45174You wanta breeze-- get outa here, do n''t yer?
45174You''re sure?
45174Young, was she?
45174_ Afraid?_ You little whippet!
45174_ Cigarettes?_"Yes. 45174 _ What?_"shrieked Dorothy.
45174--What next?"
45174A lady''s maid?"
45174After all, was not this the real Bill Bolton the famous ace and midshipman she had read about?
45174All right?"
45174And it''s stayed that way ever since, has n''t it?
45174And what then?"
45174Anybody caught?
45174Anybody hurt?
45174Anyone else know anything about this robbery?"
45174But how about the time lock?"
45174But if we are leaving all the fun to the police, why did you bring the guns?"
45174But that does n''t solve the mystery, does it?"
45174But the point is-- were they taken this afternoon while Daddy had the car parked behind the bank-- or later this evening after he drove home?
45174But the shot and the scream immediately afterward?
45174But was she?
45174But what am I to learn in?
45174But what are we going to do for a plane?"
45174But what do you make of these tracks here?
45174But what has_ that_ got to do with Dorothy''s flying?"
45174But what right had he to talk like that?
45174Ca n''t I go up now?"
45174Conway?"
45174Could it be that Bill was n''t sure of his quarry?
45174Could n''t you break away then?"
45174Did I make you cry?"
45174Dixon?"
45174Dixon?"
45174Dixon?"
45174Do I get a lesson tomorrow?"
45174Do n''t imagine those police are efficient, do you?
45174Do n''t you realize that these two know too much about us to permit them to live?"
45174Do n''t you think it''s mean of them to make such a mystery of whatever they''re talking about, Mr. Bolton?
45174Do n''t you think you''d better come down to the bank and tell the story of your sleuthing to the Bankers''Association detectives?
45174Do you hear me?
45174Do you think Daddy will let me?"
45174Do you wish to vote on it again?"
45174Doc?"
45174Does that suit your highness?"
45174Dorothy''s tone was stern,"What have they done with Bill?"
45174Excitement kind of stirs you up eh?"
45174From this door to the car?"
45174Get the idea?"
45174Give me a boost, will you?"
45174Got all that?"
45174Got plenty of gas?"
45174Got that dope down pat?"
45174Got that?"
45174Had that been the sound of his automatic-- or another''s?
45174He guffawed--"I guess you know that trick-- the bulls have made it pretty popular?"
45174He hesitated a moment, then--"I know it''s none of my affair, but do n''t you think it''s rather risky to go for a sail just now?"
45174He passed over a letter--""Have you still got it?"
45174He said he''d let him look over the carburetor when he got home, did n''t he?
45174He''ll come round after while-- but when?"
45174How about getting a plane of your own to fool with from now on?"
45174How about going in now and telling your father what we''ve learned?"
45174How about it?
45174How about it?"
45174How about the time, Dad?"
45174How about the tire tracks?"
45174How are you-- stiff?"
45174How are your legs?"
45174How should I know?
45174How''s the car running?"
45174How_ did_ you keep from slewing broadside and going under?"
45174I got the impression that you and the young lady who is at present drinking coffee might have had-- a difference of opinion, shall we say?"
45174I knew we had some in the medicine chest upstairs, so--""So you went back to the house and got it?"
45174If you''ll help me?"
45174Just holes in the mud with a flat dab right ahead?"
45174Just what has been taken?"
45174Know how to use it?"
45174May Doctor Watson inquire on what Miss Sherlock Holmes bases her astounding deduction?"
45174Not such a bad hunch to take a look out here, was it?"
45174Now then, you gave the other one the garage key, I s''pose?"
45174Now, I''m going to pull my feet from under yours-- ready?"
45174Now, concerning our two young friends who were so unwise as to join us tonight-- what is your pleasure?"
45174Of course, if Miss Martinelli has her way-- but why anticipate the unpleasant?"
45174Oh, Bill, you''re generally so fertile with ideas--_can''t_ you think of any thing?"
45174Recognize the scenery?"
45174Say, Bill, that was only a bluff, was n''t it?"
45174See how the nose of the plane rises and falls in response?
45174Shall we go up in the_ Loening_ again?"
45174Sling me a hunk o''bread, will yer?
45174Sounds rather silly at a time like this, do n''t you think so?"
45174Still sleuthing, I take it?"
45174Sure you have n''t lost him?"
45174Tell me-- why are_ you_ piloting a rumrunner?"
45174That is your reason for not voting with the rest of us?"
45174That road runs down to Noroton, does n''t it?
45174That''s what you were going to say, is n''t it?"
45174The Hamberfields, of Canoe Hill?"
45174The plane must be banked with ailerons before the rudder will have any turning effect.--Get me?"
45174Then I landed--""Into the wind or with it?"
45174Then musingly,"So you''re a wrestler, eh?"
45174Then you''ll come tonight?"
45174There-- is that better?"
45174Understand?"
45174Want to come along?"
45174Want to look it over?"
45174Was Bill one of them?
45174Was the lame man sitting beside her?"
45174We are about to celebrate this festive occasion by a housewarming, in the form of a scrap dinner at the hero''s home-- what say you?"
45174What are yer givin''us?"
45174What did it matter if the gang made their escape?
45174What do ye think this is, anyway-- a joy ride?"
45174What do you expect me to do-- release the safety catch and pull the trigger to see if it works?"
45174What do you mean?"
45174What do you think his name really is?"
45174What do you want to know?"
45174What happened then?"
45174What of it?
45174What was the use of that?
45174What would the gang say if she bested him, a professional wrestler, and make her getaway?
45174What''s actually happened?
45174What''s the trouble?"
45174What''s to become of Mr. Conway, in the meantime?
45174When I do n''t understand, I''ll ask-- if it''s all the same to you?"
45174Where are your eyes, Bill?
45174Where do we go from here?"
45174Where would I be if it were n''t for him?
45174Where''s that lamp?
45174Whose gun_ was_ that?"
45174Why am I sure of it?
45174Why did he continue to go on with his pretended inspection of the engine?
45174Why did n''t Bill capture the man at once so they could haul him off to the police station?
45174Why do you stand for it?"
45174Why is it better for her to start now, rather than later?"
45174Why?
45174Why?
45174Why?"
45174Wo n''t that raise the tail of the plane and depress the nose?"
45174Wo n''t you tell me?"
45174Would the throbbing engine continue to function under the unaccustomed strain?
45174Would they make it?
45174Would they mire in the soft ground at the lake''s edge she wondered, and cause the big bus to nose over and crash?
45174Y''do n''t happen ter want a couple of ice cubes and a stick in it too?"
45174Yer boy friend?"
45174You do n''t think I''ve any intention of trying to capture them?"
45174You have n''t had your second cup of coffee, have you?"
45174You know what happened to Tony--""Yes, but the shot right afterward?
45174You''re starting out for a sail in that sloop that''s moored over there, I take it?"
45174You''ve got me now, have n''t yer?
45174Your steady?"
45174_ Chapter IV_ THE FIRST HOP"How about giving me my first flying lesson now?"
45174_ Chapter XI_ FOLLOW THE LEADER"Need any help?"
45174_ Why_ had n''t she taken more precise directions before tramping over here?
45174he exclaimed,"what are you two doing here?"
45174student-- Listen to your master''s-- I mean,--your instructor''s voice, will you?"
45457''Gator Road''?
45457A fly?
45457A flying bug?
45457A girl?
45457A job? 45457 A job?
45457A new car?
45457A what?
45457Am I dreaming? 45457 Am I to meet her?"
45457And Dot-- may I speak to Miss Carlton?
45457And Louise, why do n''t you pour them some of this iced- coffee? 45457 And forced her to go with him?"
45457And get on a steamer?
45457And how do you happen to be here?
45457And how''s the most famous girl- pilot in the world?
45457And lose all that ransom money? 45457 And the man they called the''Doc''?"
45457And we wait for them there?
45457And what is your line, outside of kidnapping?
45457And where are you going?
45457And where does Susie come into all this?
45457And where will you go with your Flying Bug, Miss Carlton?
45457And will you please excuse me-- as I see Dot going to the dressing- room?
45457And would n''t you like to try her out? 45457 Any news?"
45457Are n''t you doing a thing to find them, Captain?
45457Are n''t your family worried about you, Miss Carlton?
45457Are you O.K., darling?
45457Are you alone?
45457Are you engaged to Ralph Clavering-- and is that why you''re turning other men away?
45457Are you sure that it can go fast enough to suit you, Linda?
45457Aunt Emily? 45457 Best in the country,"boasted Jackson...."Miss Carlton,"he added,"would you stay at our home while you are in the city?"
45457But does n''t it make you feel dreadful-- at night, sometimes, or when you''re alone-- to think of leading such a wicked life?
45457But how can we ever hope to build a fire in this rain? 45457 But how could you possibly know?"
45457But how did you get away?
45457But how do we manage it? 45457 But how shall I tell Mrs. Carter?
45457But if they had, would n''t we have heard? 45457 But it flies?"
45457But wait, have you had your supper?
45457But what could you possibly do?
45457But what good''s money, if you''re a cripple?
45457But what has that to do with me?
45457But what shall we do about this visitor?
45457But what were they doing? 45457 But what''s the grand rush?"
45457But when you discovered that he was n''t straight, why did n''t you leave him?
45457But where have you been?
45457But why did n''t you tell Hal and me that, when we found you in the swamp?
45457But you agree that I could n''t call it my''Clothes- dryer,''or my''Wind- mill,''do n''t you, Aunt Emily? 45457 But,"she continued as they walked around the autogiro,"is n''t there really any danger of crashing?"
45457By airplane?
45457By the way, Miss Carlton,put in the pilot,"did you think to bring any food for lunch?
45457Can I drive in to the hotel to see you, Ann?
45457Can we be of any help to you, Miss?
45457Can you fly that Bug, Susie?
45457Can you shoot?
45457Can you take us aboard?
45457Could n''t you get rid of her, Auntie?
45457Could n''t you take some other girl?
45457Could we eat, Sergeant?
45457Did n''t I tell you to?
45457Did n''t you see Beefy take that big can to the boat with him? 45457 Did you ever see two such sights as we are?"
45457Did you realize that at the time?
45457Did you see them-- the police, I mean?
45457Do I look like another girl?
45457Do n''t you suppose we can go today?
45457Do n''t you want a detective to go with you?
45457Do n''t you want to try it out?
45457Do n''t you, Captain?
45457Do you honestly think she''ll reform?
45457Do you mean that you wanted to kill me?
45457Do you really know me?
45457Do you suppose they''re both sick-- or injured?
45457Do you think we can make it?
45457Do you''spose some canoe picked her up-- maybe those same boys that rescued you?
45457Does Susie like all this?
45457Does it hurt very much, Susie?
45457Flying?
45457Go where?
45457Good news, Linda?
45457Got a good knife, Linda?
45457Got any guns on you?
45457Got the lines out about her yet?
45457Had n''t we better be pushing on, if we expect to get out of the swamp before dark?
45457Had n''t we better eat?
45457Have n''t you learned from driving a car that it does n''t pay? 45457 Have n''t you read about yourselves?
45457Have they a good police department?
45457Have you had your dinner, Sir?
45457Her disappearance will make it a lot harder to trace that other thief.... Do you really expect to do anything about hunting him, Linda?
45457How about taking me up for a little fly?
45457How can we ever thank you enough, Captain Smallweed?
45457How did it get there?
45457How did you know where to find us?
45457How do I know how Linda got away? 45457 How do I know that that plane wo n''t burst into flames any minute?"
45457How do you expect to get across the state?
45457How do you get that way?
45457How do you know that you can fly any plane I happen to get, Miss Carlton?
45457How long do you think it will take you to get to Cuba?
45457How long has it been since you ate?
45457How long will it take us to get to Jacksonville?
45457How soon do you think you can get off, Linda?
45457How soon will we get to the coast?
45457How would you know where to go-- without even a suggestion from Susie?
45457How?
45457How?
45457If it did n''t have a leak----"But did n''t you say that it was broken?
45457If they had n''t taken it?
45457In his canoe?
45457In trouble, girls?
45457Is her Bug still there?
45457Is it really, truly you, Linda darling?
45457Is my bag still in the autogiro?
45457Is that all you had?
45457Is there anything I can do?
45457Is this surely the right island? 45457 It''s huge, is n''t it?"
45457Just what are your plans, Linda?
45457Kit?
45457Like her, Susie?
45457Linda,said Susie, interrupting these thoughts,"will you go to my tent and get me a magazine I have there?
45457Linda,she said softly,"see that young man over there at that table back of you-- to the right-- with an older woman?
45457May I ask you a personal question, Linda?
45457May I look the plane over before we start?
45457May we throw our stuff on board first?
45457Miss Carlton?
45457Miss Carlton?
45457Money? 45457 Must you call it that, Linda?"
45457No, we''ll go straight west.... Or is that the west? 45457 Not in that boat?"
45457Now, can you climb?
45457Oh, yeah?
45457Oh, you did, did you?
45457Or go straight on to the ocean?
45457Pretty slick, are n''t they? 45457 Rain or shine?
45457Ready now?
45457Ready to start now?
45457Remember all the dark futures I used to wish for Bess Hulbert?
45457Say, does this uncover a lot of money? 45457 Shall we eat?"
45457Shall we get out?
45457Shall we go back to our island-- if we can find it?
45457Shall we leave Jacksonville?
45457Smashed your plane?
45457So far away-- in an airplane?
45457So stop that taxi for us, will you please, Captain?... 45457 Soldiers''Camp Island?"
45457Suppose they get caught?
45457Susie hurt?
45457Tell me how you got into a gang like this?
45457That island does n''t look very far away, does it?
45457The girl who flew to Paris alone?
45457The what?
45457Then where is it?
45457Then why did you treat him so cruelly? 45457 Then your Ladybug is damaged?"
45457There are n''t any roads in the swamp, are there?
45457Think I better try to call him back?
45457This is a P C A--2, is n''t it?
45457Tired?
45457To match my eyes?
45457To show us the way?
45457Unless,he added, turning to Susie,"you would want to take the body back to your home?"
45457Want some grub first, Jake?
45457Want to come along home with me, and meet the wife? 45457 Was it Jackson Carter who rescued you before, Linda?"
45457We had a wreck.... Will you take me with you?
45457We have it.... Now, suppose instead of my asking you questions, you tell us the whole story, Miss----?
45457We have to be able to manage most anything.... Can you send a car out for me to the Carters''home, early in the morning?
45457We might even build a boat----"Out of underbrush?
45457We''ll be delighted to accept, wo n''t we, Linda?
45457We''re your best friends, are n''t we, Linda? 45457 Well, what''s it all about, Miss Carlton?"
45457Well, would it, Captain Smallweed?
45457What boat?
45457What do you girls mean by going out on a rough sea like this, in a shell like you had?
45457What do you mean?
45457What do you mean?
45457What do you think of that, Linda?
45457What do you- all call this?
45457What does he care-- so long as he ai n''t the one that''s hurt?
45457What does it mean?
45457What shall we do?
45457What would be the nearest large city to this southern end of the swamp?
45457What would you like to do?
45457What''s in that flask?
45457What''s new?
45457What''s the connection between chicken soup and sore throats?
45457What''s the matter, Dot?
45457What? 45457 What?
45457When can I see you, Ann? 45457 When do you expect them back?"
45457When will you be home, dear?
45457Where are the other two men?
45457Where are you hurt?
45457Where could she go?
45457Where do you girls want to go now?
45457Where in the world have you been?
45457Where is it?
45457Where is she now?
45457Where is your mother?
45457Where would Jim see our old boat?
45457Where''s Linda?
45457Where''s Slats?
45457Where''s Susie?
45457Where''s your other man?
45457Where?
45457Where?
45457Where?
45457Which bank?
45457Who can it be?
45457Who is she, Auntie?
45457Who? 45457 Why could n''t we make chicken soup, out of the bones and sea- water?
45457Why do n''t they fly towards the coast-- towards Georgia?
45457Why does n''t he come after us?
45457Why not pick a job in Canada?
45457Why not?
45457Why not?
45457Why the sigh, dear?
45457Why? 45457 Why?"
45457Why?
45457Why?
45457Will you have her filled with gas and oil, while I sign the contract? 45457 Will you please take my bag to your house, and leave the address with me?"
45457Will you take the police along?
45457With the police? 45457 Working?"
45457Would I have to promise to do this all summer, if I took it on?
45457Would n''t it be nice to stop and make some coffee?
45457Would n''t you like to go off in my autogiro today?
45457Would n''t you rather have your ankle fixed right, and not run the chance of being a cripple for life?
45457Would you girls consider bringing your families out to our home, to spend the weekend with us?
45457Would you have gone with me?
45457Yes-- and weddings are so solemn-- so sort of sad, are n''t they, Auntie? 45457 Yes?"
45457You are sure you can pilot her, Miss?
45457You do n''t mean to say that you have been kidnapped?
45457You do n''t mean to say you''ll take time to fly to Philadelphia, with all your engagements?
45457You expect to give your whole time to flying?
45457You foot the bill?
45457You found it easy to fly, Miss Carlton?
45457You girls gangsters?
45457You know the way?
45457You know, then, that one plane flying over a field can spray as many plants in a day as a hundred of the ordinary spraying machines?
45457You mean they do n''t trust you?
45457You mean you are actually willing to go back into that swamp?
45457You mean you will pilot the plane yourself? 45457 You really are the girl who flew across the ocean alone, and won that big prize?"
45457You really believe you can fix it in one day?
45457You really expect to buy one today, Linda?
45457You really expect to catch those two on that island?
45457You stole the autogiro?
45457You want to try it again in canoes?
45457You wo n''t go to Green Falls-- with all the rest of the crowd?
45457You''ll burn your old stuff, wo n''t you?
45457You''re Miss Carlton, are n''t you?
45457You''re not going to pull some new stunt on us, are you, Linda? 45457 You''re not too tired, are you, Linda?"
45457You''re not wishing you were back again?
45457Your aunt?
45457Your business?
45457Ai n''t he a good ad for his own cookin''?"
45457Ai n''t that right?"
45457Am I to have this particular one?
45457And ai n''t your Bug the easiest thing to spot in the air?"
45457And kept it all this time?"
45457And what kind of plane do you intend to buy next, since you sold your Bellanca in Paris?"
45457And will you ask one of the servants to waken me at seven o''clock?"
45457And would the boat stop at their signal of distress?
45457And-- would your friends care to go up with you?"
45457Any news?"
45457Anything breakable in it?"
45457Are n''t we lucky to have that food?"
45457Are n''t you the only girl who ever flew the Atlantic alone?
45457Are you there?"
45457Beneath the surface, she could see thick vegetation; would this, she wondered, support her weight if she were to attempt to walk in it?
45457But do you mean you were going to shoot Linda?"
45457But wait-- was she?
45457But we have to stop in Jacksonville first.... Aunt Emily, could n''t you and Mrs. Crowley come to Jacksonville?
45457But why do you want to go to Philadelphia, Linda?"
45457By plane?"
45457By the way, I''m rooming with you?"
45457Can we go tomorrow morning?
45457Can we go with him there?"
45457Capturing a hundred thousand dollars by a clever trick----""Is there really that much?"
45457Carlton?"
45457Carlton?"
45457Carter?"
45457Clothing?"
45457Could Dot and Linda have gone off in that?"
45457Could I run after her?"
45457Could it be the money?
45457Could we have a piece of bread, or anything to eat?"
45457Dared she suggest that the other girl deceive her husband-- or would she only be punished for such an idea?
45457Did n''t he realize that she would never dare fly this autogiro where anyone could see her?
45457Did n''t we have fun?"
45457Did they mean to leave her on the island, or send her to South America?
45457Did you, Lou?"
45457Do we have to pass Black Jack Island to get out of the swamp?"
45457Do you know them, or are they people I have met at Palm Beach sometime, one of those winters when we went to Florida?"
45457Does n''t your Aunt Emily make you do that?"
45457Fly the Pacific-- or the Arctic Ocean?"
45457Flying to South America, or Alaska?
45457Get me?"
45457Give me a signal----""How?"
45457Had her excitement over regaining her autogiro destroyed all her common sense?
45457Had she lost control of the plane, and were they about to be dashed to pieces?
45457Had the girls died of starvation, or was there foul play of some kind?
45457Her blue eyes became pleading, and she asked, in an almost child- like tone,"You wo n''t tell on me, will you, Captain Magee?"
45457Hiding from justice?"
45457Hiding in the background, waiting to shoot them all down when they were off guard?
45457How could he ever have doubted that she was of good family?
45457How could she ever hope to be free from the stain of her last two years of living-- since her marriage to"Slats"?
45457How could she have been so stupid?
45457How could they ever tell these two men the terrible news?
45457How''s everything?"
45457I''m glad to get rid of that gang.... And, Linda-- how''bout if we be friends?
45457If so, would n''t he perhaps be above the level of the others-- and might she not expect, if not sympathy, at least fair play from him?
45457If these boys found it so dreadful, what must it have seemed like to Linda?
45457If we rig up some kind of signal of distress----""What shall we use?
45457Impatient at the delay, her husband demanded,"Got the idea how to run her?"
45457Instead, she asked:"How soon do you go, Linda?"
45457It''s dangerous-- you may be killed.... And, and, besides----""Besides, what?"
45457Not hurt?"
45457Nothing but ocean and sky.... Do you have your revolver handy, Dot?"
45457Oh, are you all right?
45457Or to die of thirst?"
45457Or was he delirious, and thought he was talking to some other Linda?
45457Pitcairn?"
45457Remember the time you gave up a dance to fly one?"
45457See the wind- mill on top?"
45457Shall I send a wire?"
45457Shall we fly over immediately, Sergeant Worth?"
45457Shall we go there?"
45457So if you would just get us a taxi, and send us to the best hotel in Havana----""In those rigs?"
45457So ought n''t we to be privileged with the first ride?"
45457Suppose the storm had washed the Ladybug away-- or even the whole island?"
45457Ted, do you suppose they''re starved?
45457That the police all over the country would be on the look- out for this very plane?
45457The girls nodded, and Dot asked, with anxiety,"But who''s guiding the boat now, while Mr. Steve eats his supper?"
45457Turning about, she saw Jackson behind her,"How do you do?"
45457Was it possible that all this scare had risen to alarm the world for the simple reason that Linda Carlton had run out of gas?
45457Was it possible that she was sick-- or only asleep?
45457Was it possible that they had found the girls-- dead?
45457Was it possible that this man was a physician?
45457Was it possible that this man was an officer of the law, and the criminals were caught?
45457Was n''t it only nerves after all?
45457Was n''t your story in all the newspapers, tellin''all about this trip of your''n?
45457Was the other occupant a woman?
45457We ca n''t all four get into that canoe, so Susie and I had better stay here, had n''t we?
45457We did n''t know it was going to spring a leak.... Would it take very long to run us to the coast, Mr.--Captain----?"
45457Were Linda and Dot safe?
45457Were the boys coming back so soon?
45457What could you do with a girl like Linda?
45457What does it feel like to starve to death?
45457What have you girls got in that bag, that''s so important to deliver in a hurry?"
45457What if she should drown now, in the midst of her own country-- after she had conquered the Atlantic Ocean successfully?
45457What money?"
45457What was the man going to do to her?
45457What was the use of talking to a person like that?
45457What would her niece be up to next?
45457What?"
45457When everything looked blackest----""You mean about being lost in the Okefenokee Swamp?"
45457Where could she possibly be?
45457Where did you see her?"
45457Where is it located?"
45457Where was he?
45457Where was she going?
45457Where was she?
45457Where?"
45457Why had she taken such a dislike to a young man as handsome as Jackson Carter?
45457Why were n''t they there?
45457Why, then, had n''t the girls come back?
45457Why?"
45457Will wonders never cease?
45457Will you go with them, Worth?"
45457Would that be enough to take her out of this"trembling land,"which was the meaning of the Indian word,"Okefenokee"?
45457Would the rescue come in time?
45457Would they torture her, perhaps, if her father refused to raise the ransom, and called the police to his aid?
45457You could wire my aunt for me, could n''t you?"
45457You have heard of that, no doubt?"
45457You have matches in your pocket?"
45457You have to put salt in it anyway, do n''t you?"
45457You mean that?"
45457You really have that money?
45457You will come, wo n''t you, girls-- as soon as the whole party is together?"
