"Well, Tom, I don't seem to see anything of them," remarked Ned that afternoon, as he sat in the bow of the air craft, gazing from time to time through the powerful glasses. "No, and I can't understand it, either," responded the young inventor, who had come for-ward to relieve his chum.

"Steady, men! For-ward, men!" The Confederates, however, had got their range. A half minute later four puffs of smoke dotted the ridge, and a flight of hoarse humming shrieks tore the air.
Barney Bill, sitting for-ward, hunched up, on the seat of the car, just as he used to sit on the footboard of his van, twisted his head round.
The second intruder was a negro of powerful frame and lowering aspect, and as he came for-ward and stood in the doorway there was ob-servable in his fierce and desperate countenance no attempt at the insinuation of the other, only a fearful resolution that made her feel like a puppet before him, and drove her, almost without her volition, to her knees.

The corn has a smiling look and the heaviest and richest ears bend their heads low as if in pious humility.
The two ran for-ward: Moran swung herself into the fo'castle hatch, and without using the ladder dropped to the deck below. In an instant her voice came up the hatch: "The bunks are empty they're gone abandoned us." She came up the ladder again. "Look," said Wilbur, as she regained the deck.
