"Because I am in the right," asserted Dave, "as you well know. The Dawsons are malicious people. I want you to warn them that if they do, any unnecessary injury to the Drifter, it will make it the worse for them in the final reckoning that is bound to come." "I don't think they will do the airship any injury." "You don't know them as I do.
They must be great fellows to tackle, with their cutlasses, and walking the plank, and treasure hoards." "Why, Hiram," laughed Dave, "you're not thinking of smugglers." "What am I then?" "Pirates." "Oh, yes, that's so," agreed Hiram. "Well, the Dawsons are worse than pirates. They won't give up that airship without a tussle, I can tell you." "All I want to do is to locate them," said Dave.
All, or very nearly all of the leading families of the State the Lamars, Cobbs, McIntoshes, Waynes, Telfairs, Cummings, Tatnals, Dawsons, Abercrombies, Holts, Blackshears, and many others were Republicans, and active in the support of Crawford for the Presidency. These apparently insurmountable difficulties were to be overcome in the organization of new parties.
I was to have my meals with the two elderly Miss Dawsons in the little parlour behind the three-cornered shop downstairs; my breakfasts and dinners at least, for, as my hours in an evening were likely to be uncertain, my tea or supper was to be an independent meal. Then, after this pride and satisfaction, came a sense of desolation.
"They're an ugly crowd the Dawsons, and probably the fellows with them, too." "I realize that. Mr. Price insisted on my taking these," and Dave began opening a boxlike package he had brought with him in the skiff. "Hello," cried Hiram, as two good sized weapons and some boxes of cartridges were disclosed. "Do we have to use them?" "I hope not," replied Dave, "but Mr.
That settled it with Hiram. In his mind he was sure that anybody who knew the Dawsons in a friendly way could not possibly amount to much. The man did not mention his name. He seemed to care nothing whatever for the fate of the launch. He barely thanked Dave, as, reaching the aero grounds, our hero led him near to the headquarters of the man for whom the Dawsons were working.
Lionel," he added, in a more conciliating tone, "I know better about out-door things than you, and I say it's necessary to be shut of the Dawsons. Give me power to act in this." "I will not," said Lionel. "I forbid you to act in it at all, until the circumstances shall have been inquired into."
'I watched her face pretty close, and I'm sure she thought you were some grand gentleman, a friend of the Commissioner's and the Mr. Dawsons. 'My dearest girl, said he, 'it was a promise I made months since that I should attend Bella's wedding, and I never break my word, as I hope you will find. These girls have been good friends and true to us in our need. We all owe them much.
I don't suppose we shall cross each other's path again. There wasn't much more time. We both had to move off. He had just time to catch his drag, and I had to get my horse. The Dawsons bullied him a bit for keeping them waiting, and swore he had stayed behind to flirt with some of the girls in the church after the wedding was over.
"That half breed was a spy, at least to that crowd. He has directed them here." "All ready," ordered Dave, in a set, sturdy tone, and the self starter began to work. "What is it a chase?" fluttered Hiram. "We'll have to wait and see. You know what kind of fellows the Dawsons are. I'm not going to sit like a bird in a nest and have them swoop down upon us, though."
