Redman knew Daley's propensity too well, and having ocular proof that he had wet t'other eye until it required more than ordinary effort to make either one stay open, he declined recognising his very significant hint. As soon as Daley withdrew, Manuel invited his companions to partake of the Captain's present, which they did with general satisfaction.
"Hey, you, Jim Tapp," observed Snitzellbaum, "you vas a pal of Daley, hey? You see him? Vell, you tell him ve hang him up by dose heels, und Murdock mit him, vonce ve catch dem. See you?" Tapp disappeared over the edge of the wagon into the road. "Mein friend," remarked the musician to Andy, "you vatch oud for dot poy." Andy Wildwood recalled the solemn warning before the next day was over.
Frank got back to the road ten minutes later and started on a run toward the town. Taking the middle of the road, he nearly bumped into a man where the highway turned. "Hi, there!" challenged the latter. "Hello!" responded Frank, recognizing a truck gardner who lived just beyond the Jordan place. "What's happened, Daley?" "Old Dobbins' house." "What, the one they're moving?" "Yes.
Daley had been very lenient with him, knowing that he was having trouble in the classical courses. But writing an original composition in French was a feat that filled Steve with dismay. What the dickens was he to write about? Mr. Daley had announced that the composition must contain not less than twelve hundred words. That approximated six pages in a blue-book.
Simkins is awfully hard on me, Mr. Daley, and " "And I am not?" Mr. Daley smiled sadly. "And so you thought you'd trust to my er good-nature, eh? Really, Edwards, you are asking a good deal, you know. You've had nearly ten days for that composition; a scant twelve hundred words on any subject you liked; and it seems to me that if you had really wanted to do it you could have found the time.
"So he is a cheat," returned Eric contemptuously. "He swiped Carl Upton's French composition and was going to hand it in as his own if Daley hadn't caught him at it!" "That's a lie!" cried Steve. "Ask Mr. Daley himself! You're saying it because I kept you from making that touchdown, you you " "Hold on, Edwards!" said Innes. "Don't call names."
I will reprimand Daley to-morrow. I shall just go to the extent of the law with that feller," said Grimshaw peremptorily. "You may lock me up in a dungeon, do with me as you will, if the power is yours; but my feelings are my own, and you cannot crush them.
Try it some time and see if it isn't. You've got to think quick, look quick and act quick. If I had my way boxing would be compulsory, by George!" Mr. Daley shook his head doubtfully. "You may be right," he said, "but it seems to me that teaching a boy how to fight is going to make him want to. That's the way it goes with other things, Jim.
"You assuredly deserve your success." And the other circus people agreed with Marco. For the time being Andy heard nothing more of Tapp, Murdock and Daley. The days passed pleasantly enough. He did his work faithfully, constantly adding to his fame as an acrobat. Between Andy and Luke Belding a warm friendship sprang up. Luke had much to tell about himself.
And then, in the gleam from the electric lights there was revealed underneath and in the left side of the dead woman a clean slit through her light dress a slit the edges of which were stained with blood. "Another wound!" exclaimed Daley, his newspaper instincts quickly aroused by this addition of evidence of mystery. "This is getting interesting!"
