Monty handed him a glass of water, and adjusted the bandages with a hand as tender as a woman's. He lifted the instrument again. "You are sterling, twenty-two carat and a yard wide, Captain! Now, get to sleep while I find out who the ring-master is. I've sworn to keep awake until I do. I think it well to telephone Van Cleft, and arrange for a better get-a-way for us both."
Finally Joe, with a cry, pounced on a dark object at the water's edge and held it up. It was Sam's neck handkerchief. "Here's the mark of a boat, too, in the sand," he cried. "I knew it! Gone together in her boat!" "It was a man's voice I heard," objected Jack. "What for would he want to cry out?" "Wanted to give us the laugh when he saw his get-a-way clear," said Joe bitterly. "Oh, damn him!"
And right on top of that she said she didn't think they ought to stage a murder and a thunderstorm in the same scene, and thought they ought to save the thunder and lightning for the murderer to make his get-a-way by. She used to work for the moving pictures, and she was going on about some wild-west picture she thought she was acting a part in.
I had some beatin' to do, but I done it and made a get-a-way good 'nough for the movies. Don't ask me where I'm at, for it's a secret. But, say, Kid. Oh, you scout badge! It's a miracle worker and better than real coin. I wouldn't give it up for a Liberty Bond. So long! can't tell you just now what my private post-office box is but will later.
He 's figurin' on two or three days' get-a-way, and so don't care a tinker's dam 'bout these yere marks. Once in the sand, an' thar won't be no trail anyhow. It's some kintry out thar, an' it would be like huntin' a needle in a haystack to try an' find them fellars after ter-night. This is my idea we'll just mosey along slow, savin' the hosses an' keeping back out o' sight till dark.
"And sticks to it like a mule. Must have it in for that fellow. Well, it helped our get-a-way." "Yes, we 're safe enough, unless Gaskins talks, and he 's so in love with the McDonald girl he 'll spiel out big rather than have any scandal now. Wish I could get a word with Vera to-night; she ought to see him to-morrow compassion, womanly sympathy, and all that rot, you know, helps the game.
Then I got desperate and decided I'd blow the whole thing to the Coolidge lawyer, and get him to take a hand. I was afraid they were already for the get-a-way see? I couldn't round 'em up alone; besides I'm a Chicago police officer, and have to keep more or less on my own beat." "And you told the lawyer?" "Everything I knew, and some I guessed at.
Yu are th' gents with th' hot-foot get-a-way that vamoosed when we got Tamale." Curses were flung at him and only the humorous mood he was in saved trouble. One, bolder than the rest, spoke up: "The senor will not see any 'hot-foot get-a-way, as he calls it, now! The senor was not wise to go so far away from his friends!"
Just as the parade starts he begins to cut the mustard. He rears 'n' tries to come down all spraddled out on the colt ahead of him in the line, but the jock runs him into a stall 'n' they take hold of him till the rest is out on the track. "Micky ain't had no experience at the post. I've borrowed a pair of glasses 'n' I'm watchin' the get-a-way pretty anxious.
