"We haven't got more than a couple of blocks away from our old hangout, and there's no telling how much further it is before we strike the open country." Just then a stone toppled from a wall and fell with a crash only a few feet away. In their tense state of alertness the unexpected sound made them jump. "Just as well we weren't under that," remarked Frank, with a sigh of relief.
Here were a number of boxes and casks, all covered with dust and dirt, the accumulation of years. Prying open one of the boxes which was handy, they discovered that it contained canned vegetables. A second box contained dress goods, and a third some candles. A cask close at hand was marked "Cognac." "This was a regular smugglers' hangout," said Peterson.
"Yes, if they've got any religious ideas at all, or rather superstitions, such would very likely center round the most conspicuous object in their world. Probably the spring is a regular voodoo hangout. The row, last night, must have been a sort of periodic argument to see who was going to run the show." "But," exclaimed the girl, in alarm "but if they do stay a while, what about us?
"I had the right hunch when I got the tip he'd left his Arizona hangout, sheriff. I figured he'd head this way. Then he had the nerve well, you know what happened in my office." The sheriff chuckled. Then he spoke angrily. "He can't pull any of his stunts in my territory," he said growlingly. "I'll hunt him down if I have to put every man I've got on the trail an' keep 'em there.
His last words to a group out by the hitching pole in front of the saloon which was Johnny's hangout, were: "I'm going to get what's coming to me, or there'll be one fine, large bunch of trouble!" He had not mentioned Aleck Douglas by name, it is true; but the fact that he had been found at the Lazy A was proof enough that he had referred to Aleck when he spoke.
Kennedy was standing in deep thought, while I sat on an old box, smoking a cigarette very miserable. Was this to be the sole outcome of Kennedy's clever ruse, I was wondering. Were we only to be shipwrecked in sight of port? Watching his chance, when the street was deserted, the Clutching Hand and his followers had hustled us over to the new hangout across from the laboratory.
While the officer to whom he was manacled paid close attention to the postmaster, who told him that although yeggs had spoiled his safe for a third time, he had protected his own and the government's valuables by having placed a quart bottle of formaldehyde in the safe, Boston Frank contrived to whisper to Joe that he had Slippery's purse in his hip pocket, and for him to take it and keep its contents, as he himself would have little use for cash in the penitentiary, for a long term now stared him in the face, and he ordered Joe to purchase a ticket and take the first train leaving for Chicago and to warn the others, as the officers, while searching him had found an incriminating letter that bore upon its envelope the correct address of the gang's hangout.
"So this is your hangout, eh, Dunk?" asked Ted, when the little formality of introduction was over. "Yes, Andy had this picked out and kindly agreed to share it with me." "I sure was glad to!" said Andy, heartily. "Some swell little joint," commented Thad Warburton, looking around. "Wait until we get her fixed up," advised Dunk. "Then we'll have something to show you!
But I say he's crazy to come to a place full of range riders, Bill." "Take it easy," responded Bill. "This hangout is away off our regular beat. Nobody'll know him." "His hide is his own and he can do what he wants with it," said Lee. "I warned him before." "Shut up," murmured Bill, "Here's Jim now, and Hal Purvis with him!"
Three hours before, Hidden Water had been the hangout of two sheep-harrying barbarians, bushy-headed and short of speech; now it was as bright and cheerful as any home and the barbarians were changed to lovers.
