When you want to buy anything you ring a bell left in view for that purpose, and the proprietor comes out of the field and waits on you. Frank wanted a record of being the prize bell-ringer, and once he got to the boat just a quarter of an inch ahead of a bulldog with red eyes and bowlegs.

Bowlegs touched a spring with his foot, and the chair containing the stunned detective sank from sight. The tramp stared at the opening in the floor wonderingly. "I declare!" he finally exclaimed, "you've got this thing in shape to work to perfection, pardner." The saloon-keeper smiled without reply. "Where's the chap gone ter?" "He is safe," answered Bowlegs. "I'll excuse you now."

Are you sick of towns and men? You must sign and sail again, For it's Johnny Bowlegs, pack your kit and trek! "By Jove! Kipling's right; nothing like a banjo, is there? Now then, Young Person, I'm with you.
I made the ditch for it to run into, and if you'll examine the ground here you'll find that my trench is doing its work very well indeed." "That's a fac'," said Sid Russell, feeling of the sand.

"That's so," said Billy Bowlegs, "only it seems to me he's got a mighty hard sum this time, an' if he's got the right answer I'd like to see just what it is." "He's got it, ain't you, Sam?" asked Sid, confidently. "I believe I have," said Sam. "What is it?" asked all the boys in a breath. "Canoe," answered Sam. "To cross the river with? That's the trick," said Bob Sharp.
There, and there and there, now may be you'll resent that." The words "there and there and there" were accompanied by three vigorous slaps which Billy laid with a will on Jake's cheeks, in despair of provoking him to resent anything less positive.
