"We had some trouble with the radiation-detection gear and wanted to haul it out to the hide-out for Manning to check. We decided to bring out as much of the stuff as we had mined, and when we caught Corbett and Astro snooping around, we made them load the ship. Corbett, here, got smart and Astro escaped. In the fight, Charley fell out of the ship. I don't know if he got away or not."
"It's took me most a week to git this chance to see ye, Billy," the hide-out began in a faint, husky voice weakened by exposure. He glanced about him nervously, his thin body shivering under the patchwork of skins and threadbare rags that covered him. Holcomb, without a word, crossed to the cupboard. "Eat, Bob," he said, putting a dish of cold meat and beans and another bottle on the table.
From the top of the opposite bank he fired a shot or two, and drew for the first time a return from the enemy. Then he broke off, and when he next gave hint of his whereabouts, it was to hail us from the nearest point on the canyon rim. "Quit your hide-out and pull for the mouth of the gorge. Quick! I'll be there." "What the hell's up now!" Piegan muttered.
Baker had built a regular cross-corner barricade of packing boxes, man-high. Bart set the lantern on the bench and approached the roustabout's hide-out. "Are you there, Mr. Baker?" he inquired. "Yes, I did just as you told me to do," came the reply, but the speaker did not show himself. "Well, here's a blanket. Can you make up a comfortable bed?"
Oh! what hard luck, but I have to do whatever he says, no matter what I want. I'm meaning to leave this behind in the scout way, and don't I hope you'll find it. There, he's calling to me to hurry, for we're going to quit this hide-out and try to escape. I'm awful hungry, too. Better leave me to my fate unless you can find a way to seal his lips. That's all. Hen."
Then if ever we happen to hear anybody speak of old Dennison and his hide-out we can flash that view before them." They had almost reached the place where the loose board had afforded them ingress to the enclosed grounds belonging to the estate when a strange sound came stealing to their ears. Both boys instantly stopped and listened to learn if it was repeated, but such did not come to pass.
"Go to sleep, dear; you need it." The hide-out stood gazing nervously at the ground. "Do you feel better?" she asked, approaching him. "You are to sleep next to your father, I believe." "Yes, marm," he stammered awkwardly; "I'm warm. Thank ye for the supper I ain't hongry no more." She nodded good night and went back to her blanket next to Margaret.
As he sprang to his feet the gaunt face of a man rose slowly above the window sill and a pair of brilliant, cavernous eyes, framed in a shock of unkempt beard and sandy hair, stared into his own. It was Bob Dinsmore the hide-out. The next instant Holcomb was out of his boots and had raised the sash with a whispered welcome. With the quickness of a cornered cat Dinsmore was inside.
Jerry set down the lantern, and later leaned the rifle against the wall when he had made sure that nobody was in sight. "I am going to carry you a ways, Miss Ruth," he said, "if you don't mind. You see, I must walk in the stream or they will find this entrance to my hide-out." "But can you carry me?" "I bet you! If you only wore rubber boots I'd let you walk. Come on, please." "Oh!
The head of the hide-out dropped to his breast; then he muttered, half to himself: "I dassent ain't nobody to look arter her but me; 'taint much, but it's all she's got." Thayor turned quickly. "You mean your little girl? I've thought of that; she shall join you whenever you're safe."
