None of the fellows have gotten back anything that's been taken. But I sure am sorry to lose that watch." "So am I," spoke Andy. "Look here, Dunk, there are two persons who might have taken it no, three." "How three?" "Counting me." "Oh, piffle. But I suppose if I made a row it would look bad for Ikey and your friend Link." "It sure would. I think maybe you'd better not make a row."
Surely Dunk was a college brother. Andy had scarcely finished wrestling with his Homer when there came a series of loud and jolly hails: "Oh, you Dunk!" "Stick out your top, Blair!" "Here come the boys!" exclaimed Dunk. "Now for some fun!" The three friends trooped in. "Some little practice to-day, eh, Blair?" remarked Bob Hunter. "And some little tackle Gaffington gave you, too!" added Thad.
The coast was clear and Andy and his chums slipped out, carrying their purchases. "Are you coming?" Dunk asked of Ikey. "No, I'll stay and help Hashmi pack up the things. If you want any more let me know." "Huh! You mean you'll stay and count up how much you've stuck us!" said Dunk. "Oh, well, it looks like nice stuff. But I've got enough for the present. I've overdrawn my allowance as it is."
And if we should happen to break out and do something, he knows the herders would be the ones to get it in the neck; and he'd wait till the dust settled, and bob up with the sheriff " He waved his hand again with a hopeless gesture. "It may not look that way on the face of it," he added gloomily, "but Dunk has got us right where he wants us.
Gaffington and his crowd are going to have another blow-out to-night, and I wanted to make sure Dunk wouldn't fall by the wayside." "That's so. Glad you told me. I'll do all I can. But say, he and I have had a strenuous time to-day." "What's up?" asked Bob. "I've been so blamed busy getting primed for a quiz that I haven't had time to eat."
They being alive proved that they must have obtained food, and this raised their hopes that we also had not died of starvation. How the two men could get down and reach the log was now the question. Captain van Dunk and my father stood in as close as they could venture.
Dunk was one of his best customers. "Such a business!" went on Ikey, mocking himself. "It is ornaments, gentlemans! Beautiful ornaments from the Flowery Kingdom. Such vawses such vawses! Is it not, my friend Hashmi Yatta?" and he appealed to the Japanese. "Of a surely they are beautiful," murmured the little yellow lad.
They fell about the room, giving it a decidedly rainbow effect. "Oh, for the love of tomatoes!" cried Dunk. "Have you been raiding a paint store?" "These are all the latest shades the fashion just over from Paris!" exclaimed Ikey, indignantly. "I bought a fellow's stock out and I can let you have these for a quarter a pair. They're worth fifty in any store." "Take 'em away!" begged Andy.
Andy, Dunk, and their three friends were standing in front of a Japanese store, looking in the window, that held many articles associated with the Flowery Kingdom. Price tags were on them, and the lads discovered that they had paid dearly for the ornaments they had so surreptitiously viewed in the semi-darkness, under the guidance of Ikey Stein.
I'm only afraid, though, that I'll make some horrible break in front of the crowd muff a foul, or let one of your fast ones get by me with the bases full," concluded Andy. "If you do," exclaimed Dunk, with a falsetto tone calculated to impress the hearer that a petulant girl was speaking "if you do I'll never speak to you again so there!" and he pretended to toss back a refractory lock of hair.
