"Well, and suppose Miss Hanson did kill some of those creatures," cried Miss Holdup, "she can afford to buy more; at least, her mamma can, which is much the same; though to be sure, 'tis a fine thing to be independent.
He owed the dog his money, perhaps his very life. Yes as he rehearsed the struggle to get out of the lake he owed the collie his life as well as his victory over the holdup men. To Chum! A great wave of love and gratitude surged up in Ferris. He had a sloppily idiotic yearning to throw his arms about the dog's furry neck and kiss him.
Now, when I find that the package you gave to me was full of blank paper, you can say that I framed the holdup story and changed the money for paper in the bargain." Sautee's eyes were glowing. "An' you'll have to beat it, after all," he jeered. "So it would seem," mused Rathburn.
The two men paused, looking at him questioningly. "I wouldn't go in there," Rathburn repeated. "Come here an' take a look." One of the men stepped to his side and peered curiously through the window. "Bill!" he whispered excitedly. "Look here. It's a holdup!" The other man looked over his shoulder. He swore softly. "I'll bet it's The Coyote!" said the first man in an awed voice.
"I call the attention of the citizens of Los Angeles to the fact that within the past ten days there has been less crime in the city than in years," Gibson's statement read. "There has been but one holdup, no burglaries, no violence, no banditry and no open gambling, bootlegging, thievery or trafficking in narcotics.
Unless we can rig up some yarn about a holdup " He paused just outside the mess-house door and eyed Ford questioningly. "We might " "No, you don't. If you've gone and lied to her, and made me out a little tin angel, you deserve what's coming. Anyway, I won't stay long, and I'll stop down here with the boys. Call me Jack Jones and let it go at that.
It didn't strike those boneheads that no sane holdup would come walking along the track a few hours after a robbery." Clyde was disappointed at the baldness of his narration. Almost any man would have made some effort at description. Dunne had made none whatever. He had confined himself to the barest of bare facts. "You make a poor raconteur, Mr. Dunne."
We're working on the largest scale, and our pay-roll is, naturally, the largest. It furnishes the biggest incentive. In addition, the Dixie Queen is the farthest out from town, and there are many excellent spots for a holdup between town and the mine. Oh, don't look skeptical. I've tried trusted messengers by roundabout trails, and guards and all that. They even held up a convoy on one occasion.
"That red-headed movie idiot will be on a rise, taking the tourists as they ride through. Of course he doesn't expect the holdup not in the papers anyhow. He happens to have the camera trained on the party, and gets it all. Result a whacking good picture, revolvers firing blank cartridges, everything which people will crowd to see. Oh, it's good business all right. I don't mind admitting that."
"Huh!" The holdup eyed him suspiciously. "Keep your hands stric'ly away from your pockets for a minute." He slapped them in quick succession. "No gun," said he, "and that's lucky for both of us, maybe. Business is business, partner, but I hate to set an old-timer afoot complete. Keep out about ten for smokes and grub." "Yours truly," responded the other.
