"Well, then, I didn't hear; but anyhow, they say that a new workin' boy of O'Driscol's, that dogged them up beyant Darby Hourigan's, was wounded by them, along with Darby himself, in regard, of his having joined the young fellow in dodgin' afther them." "Are they seriously hurt?" asked John. "Throth that's more than I can say, but I hope they're not, poor fellows; at any rate, I'm sure Mr.
But after the first mile he takes to dodgin'. Zip! he goes on two wheels around a corner. "After him now!" orders Old Hickory. "I'll make it twenty if you don't let him get away." "You're on!" says our speed maniac, and does a carom skid into a cross street that showed he didn't need any banked turns in his.
"Well, I'd ought to, seem' as I've lived next door to the engine yards all my life, and spent my time dodgin' the cop on watch there, when I was tryin' to steal rides on freight-cars and such." "Is that what you're hangin' around here now for?" asked the man, with a good-natured twinkle in his eyes. "Nope! I'm waiting for that MacIntyre kid to come back this way.
Owens didn't know how he did it in fact, never knew it at all until the outfit got to the front, somewhere in northern France, in the first line. They were days in the first line, close up to the Germans, watchin' an' sneakin' all the time, shootin' an' dodgin', but they never had but one real fight. "That was when one mornin' the Germans came pilin' over on a charge, far outnumberin' our boys.
It's a little two-bit town up the river a ways. I'm goin' to pack out some grub." Stevens's tone was inviting. Evidently he would welcome Duane's companionship, but he did not openly say so. Duane kept silence, however, and then Stevens went on. "Stranger, in this here country two's a crowd. It's safer. I never was much on this lone-wolf dodgin', though I've done it of necessity.
But I hadn't worried about their wantin' to take my little bus. So I arrives on the jump. And there in a corner of the garage are two young toughs, jumpin' and dodgin' at a lively rate, with Buddy sailin' into 'em for all he's worth and givin' out them quick short battle cries.
"Well, Paul," he said, "I've seen 'em off, an' a-tween you and me, I'd rather be right here on this here haunted islan', a-hobnobbin' with Injun ghosts an' havin' a good, comfortable, easy time, than be dodgin' braves, an' feelin' every minute to see ef my scalp is on out thar among the Injun villages." "You don't think they'll be taken?" asked Paul, in some alarm.
"It's a dozen shacks strung along two snaky wagon ruts through the sand," says Valentina, "a few pines and live-oaks, a whole heap of razor-backs, and us Crackers dodgin' between. That's Sand Spur." "Oh, a little more than that," breaks in Warrie.
He holds up anyone that's handy, from a white wings dodgin' trucks in the middle of Madison Square, to a Wall Street broker rushin' from 'Change out to a directors' meetin'. He seems to think anybody he meets knows all about New York, and has time to take him by the hand and lead him right where he wants to go, whether it's the new Custom House down town, or Grant's Tomb up on the drive.
Larry rode up on the edge of a little rimrock. In a minute I saw his hoss jump back, dodgin' a rattlesnake or somethin', and then fall back out of sight. I jumped my hoss up there tur'ble quick, and looked over, expectin' to see nothin' but mangled remains. It was only about fifteen foot down, but I couldn't see bottom 'count of some brush. "Are you all right?" I yells.
