"They fixed it all up blow open the safe, hide the silver an' other valerables, an' then, when you surprise 'em, they try to put the crime off on sumbuddy else." "Say, Jed, do you think that's so?" asked the farmer, his suspicions aroused. "Don't it look reasonable, Isaac?" "It sure does, Jed. But to think them boys would do sech a terruble deed!"
You had the description of those landmarks, I didn't," added the Westerner. Just then Larry Jaley let out a quick cry. "Look over yonder!" he called. "Sumbuddy behind the rocks!" He pointed at Dave and the others, and a second later the three youths knew that they had been discovered. "Come out o' thet, whoever you are!" cried Sol Blugg.
The konducter kum to me & sed the insultid parties wood settle for 50 dollars, which I immejitly hawled out, & agane implored sumbuddy to state whare I was prinsipully, & if I shood be thare a grate while my self ef things went on as they'd bin goin fur sum time back.
Now you tell me what flag I b'longs undah. "Wen we gits back to de ship, de boys tells me some English sailors beat Jack up in de sportin' house. Sumbuddy sing out 'Beat it de marines comin'!, an' dey all run for de ship an leff Jack dere. "I don't ahsk no mo' questions; jes' start back on a run to find my buddy. At dat time I weigh 180, an' was pretty husky fer my age.
There was no reply, and coming to the door, the four boys saw that the farmer's wife lay back in a kitchen chair in a dead faint. "Sumbuddy hez killed her, I guess!" moaned Simon Lundy. "Oh, where is the villain?" "She isn't dead, only fainted," answered Shep, who had assisted his father on more than one occasion. "Got some smelling salts in the house?" "I dunno. Ye kin look in the closets."
No answer came back at first. Then, to Tom's astonishment, a strange voice answered from the woods: "Here I am! Where are you?" "Dat aint Dick," muttered Aleck. "Dat's sumbuddy else, Massah Tom." "So it is," replied Tom, and presently saw a tall and well-built young man struggling forth from the tall grass of the jungle. "Hullo, what are you?" demanded the newcomer, as he stalked toward them.
"How do ye like et?" "Oh, only so-so, Zeke. They're too strict ter suit me. I don't like ter hev ter come an' go just ez sumbuddy tells me, do you?" "No, I don't. But when er feller enters the army, that's jest whut he hez ter do." "Yes, thet's so. Well, I guess I'll git used ter et." "I'll be glad when we git inter a bettle with the rebels, Lem, won't you?" "Yes, I guess so."
"And here is a cheap watch," added Captain Putnam, bringing forth the article. "Pop, is this your watch?" "No, sah I I never seen dat watch before," answered Aleck nervously. "I dun reckon sumbuddy put up a job on dis poah coon, sah," he continued ruefully. "I believe the job was put up by yourself," answered Captain Putnam sternly. "If you are guilty you had better confess."
