His tousled hair was stuck to his forehead by perspiration; his eyes were red and vaguely staring. His clothes were badlv wrinkled. He wore a collarless shirt with a frilled bosom of virulent pink, its cuffs grimy and limp. "It's ol' Wrenn. C'm in. C'm in quick. Collectors always hanging around. They can't catch me. You bet."
We want all the help we c'n get." By way of reply the officer stooped and drummed a loud alarm on the sidewalk with his night-stick. "Say," he panted, rising, "you're a wonder, Hickey if you get him." "Uh-huh," grunted the detective with a sidelong glance at Maitland. "C'm 'long."
And he added kindly, "C'm on and eat with me, Bill. I'm hungry." Bill shook his head and gave another grunt, and Casey went off without him. After awhile Casey returned. He was grinning, but the grin was, to a careful observer, a bit sickish. "Say, Bill, talk about poker I'm off it fer life. Now look what it done to me, Bill!
Bud chanted vain-gloriously. "How's that, Skyrider? Ain't that purty fair po'try?" "It don't fit into the tune with a cuss," Tex criticized jealously. "Pass over that po'try of Johnny's. Yo' all ain't needin' it not if you aims to make up yore own words." "C'm 'ere! You wall-eyed weiner-wurst!" Johnny harshly addressed the horse he was after.
