For if I begin to shoot, somebody is bound to get hit. Keep your hands up, you fellows!" and he gestured toward the Chinamen. Even the two of their number who had been half-overcome with the fumes of opium had come to attention when Chess produced his pistol. The Chinamen huddled together at one side. The boatman and Bilby were opposite the doorway of the tunnel.
I can see that we are going to have perfectly scrumptious times before this picture you are going to make is finished." "I hope we'll fool Bilby leave him behind," sighed Ruth. "The worst of it is, we must leave Tommy-boy behind," said Tom's twin. "Won't he be sore when he hears about it!"
Bilby, who had announced that his business in this vicinity was to obtain possession of Wonota, anything to do with the men in the boat? The thought may have been but an idle suggestion in Ruth's mind. Intuition was strong in Ruth Fielding, however.
Now, if that is all you got to offer, you might as well get back into that go-cart of yours and drive on." Mr. Potter turned on his heel and went back into the mill, beckoning to Ruth to come with him. She did so for a little way at least; but she soon stopped to peer out and watch the man, Bilby.
"In what?" "In that boat when we first saw it. When we saw the Chinaman, you know, out on the Canadian side of the river. If there is anything wrong about these men and the King of the Pipes Bilby is mixed up with them." "I guess you are right, Ruth. Maybe that fellow is into more queer games than just trying to grab your Osage princess."
These men were a part of Giles A. Smith's brigade, and part belonged to the brigade of T. Bilby Smith, the senior officer present being Lieutenant-Colonel Rice, Fifty-fourth Ohio, an excellent young officer. We had no horses.
"You haven't made it yet near as I can calkerlate," gruffly said Uncle Jabez. "And it's mebbe a question if you get much acquainted with Wonota. What's your business with her, anyway?" "I'll show you, old gent," said Bilby, taking a number of important looking papers from his pocket. "I have come here to get this princess, as you call her. The Indian Department has sent me.
It might be that Bilby could get them away from Ruth's care. And then what would the Alectrion Film Corporation do about this next picture that had been planned? Aunt Alvirah made no complaint as to how or where the car went as long as it went somewhere. She admitted she liked to travel fast.
"But more than that," said Ruth much worried now, "he may have so many friends on the Canadian side that he can trace Wonota and her father over there on Grenadier Island." "Better warn Mr. Hammond when he comes back from town," suggested her friend. "That Bilby seems to be universally troublesome. I'll say he is!"
Unless they try to climb up that hollow beech tree." "No fear," said Copley. "Get the girls out first." Tom had already loaded both Ruth and Helen down with the loot from the malefactors' pockets. He motioned to the girls to leave the cavern. "Hold on! Hold on!" Bilby cried. "I beg of you, don't leave me with these men. I only happen to be here by chance "
