He will cash my check for that amount and be glad to do it. Holdups, you know, pass up checks. Therefore, Lew likes checks. When do you want it? Let's get it now while there is a lull in business, and you can take the pump and pipe and other gadgets right back with you in the truck." "Do you mean that you will go with me now on the truck?
Then came the gang, the regular trips, the one thing and another till, before we knew it before I knew it we had shady deals, holdups, and MURDERS on our record. Then we HAD to go on. Too late to turn back!" "I reckon we've all said that. None of the gang wants to quit. They all think, and I think, we can't be touched. We may be blamed, but nothing can be proved. We're too strong."
Because Izzy is always honest, according to how he sees it. But you got Earth ideas of the stuff, like I had once. Too bad." He sighed ponderously. The week moved on. The groups grew more experienced, and Murdoch was training a new squad every night. Gordon's own squad was equipped with shields now, and they were doing better. The number of muggings and holdups in the section was going down.
"He didn't bother with us. It was the cattle he wanted. They've driven them across the line. At least, I reckon so." Threewit woke up instantly. "That's different. Unload your story, Yeager." The extra told it in six sentences. "Of course you didn't know any of the holdups. They were masked, you say?" "Yep." Steve's cool, steady eyes held those of the director.
He was preserved in legend only, and Vance Cornish could make no vital use of legend. He wanted something in cold print. So he began an exhaustive search. He went through volume after volume, but though he came upon mention of Black Jack, he never reached the account of an eyewitness of any of those stirring holdups or train robberies. And then he began on the old files of magazines.
Through the gathering twilight of the streets, dusky and shadowy, flitted bat-like the criminals of the underworld. What they saw, that they took. Growing bolder, they progressed from pocket-picking to holdups, from holdups to looting. The police reserves were all out; they could do little. Favored by obscurity, the thieves plundered.
"I'm layin' for the first man that sticks his head out of this car." Behind him the coach buzzed like a disturbed hive. Its occupants bewailed their losses, vowed vengeance on both holdups and railway. Women reproached men with cowardice. Men told each other what they would have done if But not one attempted to leave his seat. Nita turned to Clyde with sparkling eyes.
The brewers know that the saloons are the meeting places of lawbreakers and disreputables, that they enter the side doors leading to private rooms where burglaries, holdups and other crimes are planned and the booty is divided yet, brewers will make no real effort to improve these conditions. Is it surprising that the public is clamoring for the complete elimination of the breweries?
"Well, you've earned your passage to Fairfax, all right, Bob!" ejaculated the conductor. "It would break our record for being free from holdups, to say nothing of the loss to passengers. The company ought to do something handsome by you, my boy." "Then you can prevent it?" queried Bob anxiously. "Sure thing. We'll capture them at the next station.
Great place for holdups, that!" This was a joke, and Jean smiled obligingly. "First the United States holds you up, and then the Mexicans. You get it coming and going. Well, Nogales don't have to stand. It squats. It's adobe mostly." Jean was interested, and she did not discourage the nice young man.
