"I think we can do without you, after all," he said, breathing thickly. "I've no doubt you owe money all over England. You're a cadger, that's what you are." He pointed to the door, and Mr.
"And Cadger saw it all, did he?" asked practical Frank. "A good lot of it, by twisting his head from time to time," replied Chief Waller. "And after the thing had been successfully done, he could watch the two thieves gathering the swag together, and putting it in a satchel they found in the cashier's room.
Sandy was mad at me, for he was no curler, and he says, 'Jo Strachan, if you gang to Rashie-bog you'll assuredly be brocht hame a corp. I didna heed him, though, and off I gaed."

"Say ye that, laddie?" cried Miss Horn, and, starting up, she grasped his arm and stood gazing in his face. "What ither sud I say?" rejoined Malcolm, surprised. "God be laudit!" exclaimed Miss Horn. "The limmer may say 'at she likes noo." "Ye dinna believe 't than, mem?" cried Malcolm. "Tell me ye dinna, an' haud me ohn curst like a cadger."
