Meanwhile Hocker and Jeffries had been quietly holding another consultation, and now the latter advanced to the side of the mill. "Moxley," he called in a loud voice, "if you know what's best for you, you will quietly hand out that gun, and deliver yourself up. The more trouble you give us, the harder it will be for you in the end.
But this was rendered unnecessary by a sudden rasping noise above, as the loose plank was carefully lifted from its place. "Randy! Randy!" whispered Ned. "It's all right. We're going to rescue you." A glad murmur of voices was heard, and Randy incautiously replied: "Hurry up then. Now's your time, for Moxley is at the other end of the mill talking." "Not so loud, lad," whispered Hocker.
He quickly mounted the seat again, and drew in his breath. "Hold on, young fellar," cried Mose Hocker in a loud voice, "Don't risk your life a second time. I kin stand the loss of that terbacker." Randy laughed, waved his hand, and went under head foremost. The suspense was now greater than on the previous occasion. Ned began to count, and when the half minute expired his face grew pale.
We pass on to Persia and find two doctors, Hocker and Rüffer, stripped naked by robbers on the highway, and then starting a practice at Ispahan . We cross the sandy plains to the city of Bagdad, and find two Brethren in its narrow streets; we find Hocker expounding the Gospel to the Copts in Cairo! For Jews the Count had special sympathy.
I can't escape if I'd want to. You know that." There was no mistaking the sincerity of Bug's proposal, and coming, as it did, at a time when Hocker and Jeffries were unable to decide on any feasible plan of action, they were disposed to give a favorable answer. "It ain't a bad idea," said Jeffries. "But how do you expect to get in without being seen?" "I'll find a way," returned Bug.
Hocker had already taken Moxley to the boat and seated him; the ruffian had lost his defiant manner, and was cowed and sullen. Jeffries now started to follow with Bug, but was stopped by a detaining touch on the arm. "I beg your pardon, Mr. Jeffries," said Ned, trying hard to control his feelings, "but you surely don't intend to carry off Bug to jail after all he has done to-night?
But Hocker had formed his own opinion after hearing Ned's story, and so had constable Jeffries and Mr. Zinn, the farmer. "I'm mighty glad to know you lads ain't guilty," said Hocker, "and I ax your pardon for my wrong suspicion. As for this fellow, I ain't so sure about him.
He waited quietly until it was over, and then repeated his request. "Ho! ho!" cackled Daddy Perkiss; "is the lad tired of livin', or kin he breathe under water like a fish?" "He's a stout hearted chap," cried Mose Hocker, "and sense his mind's bent on takin' a good long dive I reckon he kin have the boat.
