The child has only the instinct to eat, and will put anything into its mouth. How the instinctive wildness of the turkey crops out in the young! Let the mother turkey while hovering her brood give the danger-signal, and the young will run from under her and hide in the grass. Why? To give her a chance to fly and decoy away the enemy. I think young chickens will do the same.
It is a business matter of considerable importance, Florence. Nor is it entirely without danger. It will take me down below the border, and an American in Mexico right now takes his life entirely into his own hands. You know that, don't you?" "Then why do you go?" Galloway smiled down at her. "If I held back every time a danger-signal was thrown out," he said lightly, "I wouldn't travel very far.
"If I knew," rejoined Dick, in that same quiet voice, in which one older in the world's ways might have detected the danger-signal, "I wouldn't tell you." "Bah!" jeered Fred Ripley, hotly. "Perhaps you mean that you don't believe me?" said Prescott inquiringly. "I don't!" laughed Ripley, shortly, bitterly. "Oh!" A world of meaning surged up in that exclamation.
And introspection was revealing a crack after so many years in that self that he had believed to be so strongly welded. Such was the strain of the pent-up force. He recognized the danger-signal. The same phenomenon had driven him into the Church, where the steam had found an outlet until now.
"I will go down the hill, and make my pony go around in a circle so that the camp may send the warriors out to us," saying which, the Bat rode the danger-signal, and the Chis-chis-chash riders came scurrying over the dry grass, leaving lines of white dust in long marks behind them.
But the er aroma could not have amused even him, and he was, as you might say, salted to stenches; for, though he was on the up-wind side, even there it was enough to knock flat anything that the python's tail could not reach. It was a most stupendous stench a sort of weapon of defense, or danger-signal, that these big snakes have. Now, perhaps it was the reek that drew the purr.
"I hear your nephew is the candidate chosen by the Nationalists here for the next election, Miss Coppinger," he said, his pale eyes regarding her drearily over the top of his spectacles. Frederica sat erect in her chair with a jerk, and a hot red sprang, like a danger-signal, to her face. "I've heard nothing of it," she said stoutly, but with a leaping heart of horror.
That green hazel girls ought to be taught at school that it's a danger-signal. Only, since your heart's not in the business any more than her's is as you say, you were both bored to death I want to ask you, as a personal favour to me, just to let the whole thing drop. Let the girl alone. Go right away."
Billy Garrison huddled down now in the roaring train as he thought of it. It was always before him, a demoniacal obsession that morning when he coughed, and a bright speck of arterial blood stood out like a tardy danger-signal against the white of his handkerchief; it was leering at him, saying: "I have been here always, but you have chosen to be blind."
At first the tumult of my own thoughts, summoned by the danger-signal and swarming to the rescue from every quarter of my skull, kept up such a hurrah and confusion and fifing and drumming that I couldn't take in a word; but presently when my mob of gathering plans began to crystallize and fall into position and form line of battle, a sort of order and quiet ensued and I caught the boom of the king's batteries, as if out of remote distance: " were not the best way, methinks, albeit it is not to be denied that authorities differ as concerning this point, some contending that the onion is but an unwholesome berry when stricken early from the tree "
