In the days of Fielding and Sam Johnson, this fellow would have been dubbed "a lusty vagabond;" in the slangy parlance of today, he was a "husky hobo," equipped as such, even to the tin can of the comic journals. To him, the humor of a brother tramp refusing a ride in an autocar, at that appealed with irresistible force.
I thanked my star I traveled afoot; heavy going, it is true, in places, but safe and sure. Notwithstanding the ubiquity of the autocar, it is still a fact that between the man in the car and the man on foot is set an impassable gulf.
This, therefore, had brought to Buffalo Center, first of all, a hard, desperate man, who was the leader of the gang, then J. Jervice with his autocar, and, shortly to follow, various other whose characters were more widely known than commended.
Giving Dave's arm a quick squeeze, Prescott marched by without appearing to pay any heed to the man and the autocar. Once past the lane, Dick kept on walking, but he turned and walked backwards. He signed to the other four, putting a finger to his lips for silence. All six of the chums had guessed swiftly what the man and the auto, at that particular point, must mean!
They had no difficulty picking up the track of the autocar. It ran directly to the village and on through. "Let's find out what the old car looks like," suggested Apple. "Maybe, too, they can tell us just how long ago it passed."
I had a hint of it later; for when we took his little autocar and slid up the winding road into the bloated crags towering on the slope behind Nareda, he told me calmly: "I shall have to put you in charge of my mine commander. I am busy elsewhere this afternoon. You will see the mine just as well without me." He added.
