Cops saw you pass, and switchmen at the trolley crossin's. "So we got here just as the taxi was whiskin' his nibs away " "Then he's not in the house?" "I knew he wasn't when I asked," said Scorch, calmly. "He's beat it for Garvan's. That's where we'll go, too." "Oh, Scorch!" cried Jennie. "You're wonderful. How you going to get us out?" "Not by the window, I hope," murmured Nancy.
They waz makin' fer the house when I steps in an' grabs my ol' shot gun. I hollered at 'em not to come a step nigher 'n' I guess they seed it wa'n't safe monkeyin' with me; so they skidaddled." "Which way did they go?" asked Burton. "Off down the road yonder; but I don't know which way they turned at the crossin's, er ef they kept straight on toward Millsville."
Well, sir, I feel like a different man already; and now folks, if you see any more fellers from the Crossin' you'll know who sent 'em that's a sure case.

Can't miss it. Right under it's the Croix Mine. You leave the trail to cross a draw, look down, and there you are. So long!"

"So far no trouble," Drew remarked. "Only I'm lookin' for a trade maybe in town." "Trade? Why ever a trade?" "We got a couple of river crossin's comin' up ahead," the scout explained. "And one of them is a good big stretch of deep water you don't go wadin' across the Tennessee. I don't want to beg for trouble, headin' a stud into somethin' as dangerous as that."
You've druv me out er the streets whar I was makin' an honest livin', by day, on three crossin's!
