Dave would not have known her, but Conward recognized her at once, and stepped forward.
"Some one's got to go out and explain to the crowd," said the fire chief to Dave. "If you know about this strike you'll have to tell the boys." "Crawford said he'd talk," answered Sanders. "He ain't here. It's up to you. Go ahead. Just tell 'em why you rang the bell." Dave found himself pushed forward to the steps of the court-house a few yards away.

But don't git the notion you can ride me. I won't stand for it a minute." "Sho! Dave didn't mean anything like that. Did you, Dave?" interposed Dumont hastily. "You was just kind o' jokin', wasn't you?" "Well, I'm servin' notice right now that when any one drops around any jokes about me bein' buffaloed, he's foolin' with dynamite.

He had long been anxious for enlightenment on this point, and now saw his opportunity. His inquiry was checked if his curiosity was not satisfied by a statement that when a little boy had a brother the same age that was twins, incorrectly stwins.
