You see, Jerry, the big outstanding feature of the war across the water has been the work done by two recent inventions, the submarine and the aeroplane. That set me thinking. The water isn't deep enough around here to do much experimenting with submarines, but there's dead oodles of air. So aeroplanes it had to be.
"Oh, indeed!" and Jerry could have sworn that there was a twinkle in the man's eye for all there was no mistaking the threat in his voice. "Well, I can promise you a full-sized spanking unless you make yourselves scarce in just about one half minute. This makes the third time I've had to chase you off and third time's the charm, you know." "But why don't you want us to look for our friend?
Another ripple had gone down to the sea of darkness, yet all the ripples behind it chased on their way heedlessly and babbled neither louder nor softer. There should have been some giant voice to peal over the sleeping village and warn them of the coming vengeance for Jerry Strann was dead!
"No matther," said Art; "it's a thing I won't do." "I'll tell you what, Jerry," said Toal, "I'll hould you another pound now, that I do a thing to-night that Art won't do; an' that, like your own wager, every one in the room can do." "Done," said the other, taking out the pound note, and placing it in Mooney's hand Toal following his example.
Jerry took it and hurried out the door. Rick and Scotty watched as he went up the street and turned in at the barbershop. Scotty shook his head. "All I can hear in the earphone is a crackling noise." "Probably the paper bag," Rick said. "It would crackle as he walks." They waited impatiently. Presently Jerry emerged without the bag and walked down the street to join them.
Coming out of the ravine, he turned to the left and, by a steep incline, reached a ledge that seemed to be a natural pathway to one of the higher peaks. Suddenly the heart within him seemed to stop beating. Somewhere ahead of him, but seemingly upon a lower level of ground, men were talking! And they were talking in German! As though a bullet had struck him, Jerry dropped forward upon the ground.
"It's a lie, Colonel," said an easy voice, that brought both Chad and Harry to their feet, and plain in the moonlight both saw Daniel Dean, pale but cool, and near him, Rebel Jerry Dillon both with their hands bound behind them. But the sun sank next day from a sky that was aflame with rebel victories.
At the back of the course you could see the whole of Kyle's selection and two of Jerry Keefe's hay-stacks between her and the others. We did n't follow her any further. After the race was won and they had cheered the winner, Dad was n't to be found anywhere. Dave sat on the grass quite exhausted. "Ain't y' goin' to pull the saddle off?" Joe asked. "No," he said.
He doesn't often make speeches, because Jerry is apt to pounce on him and tell him he's "too plain American," but I think it isn't fair, because he hasn't read as many books as Jerry and I. So I hurried up and said: "Bravely spoke, my lad; so we will, my hearty!" And we crawled and clambered along till we came to the end of the point where it's all stones and seaweed and big surf sometimes.
In this position, with her nerves strung to the highest point, and her faculties absorbed in the single one of hearing, she caught a suspicious sound immediately behind her. It was as if Jerry was moving from the spot where he had been left. Fearful of his going astray, her lips parted to speak, when, fortunately, she held her peace. It might be that some person was the cause of his action.
