"I'm going to find that red car and my friend, Checkers." "Not alone, Ted. You're going to get the other boys to help you, aren't you?" "Now is the accepted time. I'm going right away now. But it would be a good scheme for you to ride back to the ranch and tell Bud and the boys quietly what I am about, and have them come out in case I should need help." "I hate to see you ride away alone, Ted.
As Checkers drove home the following evening, he was met by Tobe, the hired man, about a mile from the house. "Hello, Tobe," he called, "what's up?" "Thar's hell out, Mr. Checkers," said Tobe. "Has old Barlow been up here? "He ain't gone two hours." Checkers smiled. He was glad to know the worst. "I suppose I 'm not very popular with Arthur?" "He swars he 'll fill ye full o' lead.
It was a large, two-story, square, brick building with a big-mouthed chimney and an open fire. When every house in the two villages had six feet of snow around it, roads would always be broken to the brick store, and a crowd of ten or fifteen men would be gathered there talking, listening, betting, smoking, chewing, bragging, playing checkers, singing, and "swapping stories."
He thought it must be nearly eight o'clock. Opposite his own in the two rows of cells was the cage of Bonifacio, the Sicilian slayer of his betrothed and of two officers who came to arrest him.

Before we closed the door, I says to Mike: "'Don't ever let it straggle out from under your hat that you seen Buck Caperton fraternal with sarsaparilla or persona grata with a checker-board, or I'll make a swallow-fork in your other ear.

Checkers smoked a cigarette as though altogether pleased with himself. Arthur finally broke the spell. "Well," he exclaimed, with a rising inflection. "A nice line of girls. Miss Barlow's 'Class A'" answered Checkers.
You will find that when you do start to work, you get your lessons much more quickly and easily than if you had started in after eating. Perhaps your sister is just waiting to show you that girls can play checkers better than boys can "So there!"

"The Lion," said he, "is necessary. It stands by the roadside; travelers must have a resting-place. As to the Checkers and the Bell, they do no good, but much harm." Mr.
Under a steady but somewhat mysterious play, Remorse was cut to four to one, and the favorite went up to six to five. This was gratifying to Checkers, as indicating that Brown and his friends were confident. He went up into the grand stand; the horses were at the post. Remorse was acting very badly plunging, kicking and refusing to break. "I 'll just about get left at the post," thought Checkers.
"Oh, I LOVE to play checkers!" said Betsy. "Well, NOW ..." said Uncle Henry, rising instantly and dropping his half- mended harness on the table. "Let's have a game."
