Gordon could feel the muscles run like angry serpents under the smooth white hair, he felt the crest of rage along his back. But the animal was so well trained that he barked no more.

An instant later both prisoners had been handcuffed, and a pistol had been taken from the clothing of each. From the junkman, too, had been taken a ring of keys.

"Don't break that cane!" cried Tom. "If you do somebody will get a bloody nose!"
But Riddell wouldn't have known it to this day if you hadn't given the young idiot leave to go and blab, and so clear it up." "Let him blab. I wish he'd clear up everything," growled, or rather groaned, Gilks. "Look here!" said Silk, stopping short in his walk and rounding on his victim. "I've had quite enough of this, and you'd better shut up. You know I could make you sorry for it if I chose."
The cheering awoke Abel Landover from a sound sleep. He turned in his bunk and growled: "The damned idiots!" Mr. Landover did not like children. He declined to sit up half the night to find out "how things were going."
"Let's go, and if you won't fight, I will." "Look here, Singhy; you and I have had lots of wrestles, haven't we?" "Yes; but what's that got to do with it?" "Why, this. I am not bragging; but I have more muscle in my arms than you have, and if I like I can put you on your back at any time." "Ur-r-r-r-r-ur!" growled Singh. "That means you own it.
