Rogers, let me see if I can transmit all this information telepathically to my sister." Then he would hold up the driver's license and say loudly, "What have I here?" And Barby, who had heard every whispered word, would answer. He would coax the information out of her, and the audience would be baffled. "Sensational," he complimented her. "We'll do it."
The faithful creature was running under the driver's seat. Before the cab could start again a line of sandwich men had passed in front of it. Their boards contained a single word. The word was "GLORIA." He saw it, yet it barely arrested his consciousness. Somehow it seemed like an echo from the existence he had left behind. The noises of life were as wine in his veins now.
To this day, I am sure that driver's worst nightmare is when he lives over again the time when he took a tenderfoot and his wife into Jackson's Hole, and, but for the tenderfoot, would have made them stay out overnight, wet, famished, frozen, within a stone's throw of the very house for which they were looking.
The driver's friend scrambled down and plodded alongside the horses; the driver himself descended and walked, cheering on his beasts with noises that nearly killed Aurora, she declared. As it took them between four and five hours to reach their destination, and as Aurora chattered all the time, with little intervals of talk by Gerald, to report their conversation is unfeasible.
In fact, you can set down the cost of going in and out at not less than $2, nor more than $4. If you hire a team to go in, it will not cost you more than $4 a day, including driver, driver's meals and horse feed. Or you may still buy a pony in New Mexico at from $35 to $60, and so have your own horse for a six weeks' holiday. To rent a horse by the month would probably not cost $20.
As soon as the vehicle was well under way, the young detective proceeded to ingratiate himself into the driver's good graces, being anxious to obtain all the information that this worthy was able to impart.
Without another word Vera ran to the car and cranked it up. As she climbed into the driver's seat she felt her knees trembling. "Please God, it isn't Tam!" she prayed as she drove the little car along the aerodrome road; "not Tam, dear Lord not Tam!" And yet, by the very panic within her she knew it was Tam and none other. "To the left, I think." She looked round in affright.
It drew up at the entrance to the booking office, and Strangwise, springing from the driver's seat, flung open the door. "Come on!" he cried, "we must look sharp or we'll miss our train!" He dragged a couple of bags off the roof and led the way into the station.
There was no home there for him, but then he wanted to go somewhere. It seemed so fine to be able to go anywhere. Bidding Lurton a grateful adieu, he hurried to St. Paul. The next morning he was booked for Metropolisville, and climbed up to the driver's seat with the eager impatience of a boy. "Wal, stranger, go tew thunder! I'm glad to see you're able to be aout.
"Now, my darling, tell me what it all means." "Why, mother, it was partly my mistake, and partly the flagman's and the driver's; and I'm sure Mrs. Kinzer was kind. She knew me before I said a word, by my resemblance to you." "Oh, I don't mean that! How is it you are here so soon? I thought you meant to make a long visit at your uncle Hart's."
