Indeed, at that moment Mr. Ditmar himself was stepping off the end of the bridge and about to start the engine when, dropping the crank, he walked to the dashboard and apparently became absorbed in some mechanisms there. Was it the glance cast in her direction that had caused him to delay his departure?
There was a general rush to the window; but Wilkeson, Overtop, Maltboy, and Quigg ran for the street at once, surmising the source of the cry. There stood Captain Tonkins, in the sleigh, leaning against the dashboard, holding in one hand an empty jug, and in the other his whip.
So, switching on the little dashboard electric lights to illuminate his instruments, he turned the Sky-Bird upward again. Through the very clouds which were expelling the rain, gathered from the warm Atlantic trade-winds, he guided the machine. At nine thousand feet he was above them, in clear dry air, with a blue, star-studded sky above his head and in the mellow glow of a full moon.
Instantly the thin flanks of the creature tautened, he laid his tail over the dashboard, stretched his neck, flattened his ears and settled himself close to the ground in action that showed sinful training. William's expression developed into one of ecstasy that was far from spiritual, and I had much ado to keep my hat on.
"Well, Peleg, is he safe in jail?" called out Tom. "No, he ain't," was the snappy reply. "Why, what did you do with him?" questioned Dick quickly. "Do? I didn't do nuthin not me. It was him as did it all cut that blessed rope and shoved me over the dashboard on to the hosses!" growled Snuggers. "Do you mean to say he got away from you?" asked Tom.
As the buggy containing Sheriff Dunn and Brace dashed through the obscurity, Brace suddenly turned to his companion. "Some one ahead!" The two men bent forward over the dashboard. Above the steady plunging of their own horse-hoofs they could hear the quicker irregular beat of other hoofs in the darkness before them. "It's that horse thief!" said Dunn, in a savage whisper.
I have nothing else to do in life but smooth them out. Come, what is it?" "Wait until we get through with Burton's boy. He may be hurt worse than you think." The doctor slackened the reins until they rested on the dashboard, and with a quick movement turned half around and looked searchingly into Jane's eyes. "It is serious, then. What has happened?" "Only a letter from Lucy."
Russell, obedient to the laws of inertia, made a parabola over the dashboard, landed on the back of the patient beast, ricochetted to the ground, cutting his forehead on the shaft as he descended, a scar whereof he carries unto this day, and plunged into a yielding cushion of mud at the roadside." He returned home, a confused mixture of blood, mud, black eyes and torn clothes.
Dashboard is one of the managers and you are a stranger, he will, of course, send you a complimentary ticket. I have known Mr. Dashboard long enough to know that he is invariably courteous to strangers and a gentleman." She settled herself in her chair again and fixed her eyes upon the stage.
"Why make a fuss? We ain't going to harm you; we wouldn't for no sum of money. Drive on, Jim drive like hell!" This last was addressed to the man who had taken George's place on the box, where a fourth member of Slosson's band had forced the coachman down into the narrow space between the seat and dashboard, and was holding a pistol to his head while he sternly enjoined silence.
