"Gee whiz, guys" it was a boy from the Far West who spoke "I've come six thousand miles, and to be blown up without even seeing a German is more than I can swallow." "Gosh!" said I, "I wouldn't mind being shot to-morrow morning at sunrise if I could have the satisfaction of seeing one of them first." Bob Marchington looked up. He was a droll youth, and curiosity was his besetting sin.
Here, at the sight of the guys, the sergeant's woeful countenance brightened somewhat. "'Ha! he exclaimed; 'Mrs. Gamway! I saw a good deal of her when I was in the Westminster division. I've often thought I'd like to and, by Jimini! I will! He squared up fiercely at the helpless-looking effigy of the lady, and, with a vicious, round-arm punch, sent its unstable head flying across the yard.
Something in his voice straightened Linton further, and he steadied himself in the saddle and looked fairly at the man. "Deveny's got her. An' they got me chasin' 'em. I was headin' back to the Rancho Seco, to get the T Down boys all Harlan's friends to wipe Deveny out. If you guys are men " Sheer will could no longer support Linton's failing muscles and he again collapsed over the pommel.
"Hey knock it off!" yelled Tom, jumping between them and grabbing Astro's arm. "If you guys don't lay off each other, you're going to be thrown out of the Academy, and I'll be thrown out with you! I'll be blasted if I'll suffer for your mistakes!" "That's a very interesting statement, Corbett!"
And what might that be?" "Listen carefully," said Graham. "I know where there is a book of magic spells that can make mincemeat out of Dorothy and the Scarecrow and those guys." "You do?" the Witch said, skeptically. "And what is a book?" "Why, it is a bunch of pieces of paper stuck together at one side and that has words printed inside of it." "Oh, yes," said the Witch. "I know what words are.
And then he added something that had occurred to him afterward: "If the big guys back of this thing knowed Kane Lawler as well as I know him, they'd have thought a heap before they started this thing!" "Bah!" sneered Warden; "you're raving! We know what we are doing. You do as you're told that's all. And keep your mouth shut. Just keep on telling them there are no cars.
He had not, however, suffered altogether unavenged, for upon one occasion M. du Tillet turned sharply round and caught one offender so smartly with his cane that he ran howling away. "They are awful guys!" Harry thought as he looked at the French boys he met. "But it's better to be a guy than to be chaffed by every boy one meets, especially if one is not to be allowed to fight."
"'You, a pitcher? they jeered. 'Who do you think you're kidding? "'Just ask Bill Bradley, I told them. 'He was there when I signed my first contract. You'll see. I'm going to pitch against you guys today, and I'm going to beat you, too. "'Beat us? Busher, you couldn't beat a drum! "So then Bill Bradley came over and said hello.
"What does he do?" asked Bunch; "spar eight rounds with the piano or sell Persian rugs?" "Nix on the hurry talk, Bunch," I said. "Petroskinski is a discovery of mine, and he's all to the mustard. He's an Illusionist, and he can pull off some of the best tricks I ever blinked at. Say, he has Hermann and Keller and all those guys backed up in a corner yelling for help.
"And we forfeit our bail and forget all about it?" "Sure." "If any more of these framed-up raids are made, will you know about it?" John asked. "Sure, dey always fix it for us regular guys." "Well, Murphy," said John, halting at a corner, "I'm going to ask you to do something for me. If you find out that anything like this is going to happen again, will you let me know about it?"
