By the way, what's your name?" "Jim Joggers," replied the tramp. Dr. Hewitt eyed the fellow keenly for a few seconds, before he replied, with a slight smile: "All right; we'll let it go at Joggers until you've put yourself far enough forward so that you'll be willing to use your own name." Honk! honk! The car was under way.
They're growing thicker every day. I've ordered one myself." "Honk! honk! honk!" sounded the automobile horn close behind them. With a purring of the valves, a soft panting from the exhaust, and a whir of wheels, a huge red machine flew past them in a cloud of dust. "Forty miles an hour," said Hodge, blinking his eyes and turning his cap brim down to the cloud of dust.
The honk of it came in through the open window, and they saw, it stop alongside the big red machine. In the car were Unwin and Harrison, while Jones sat with the chauffeur. "I'll see Hegan," Daylight told Dede. "There's no need for the rest. They can wait in the machine." "Is he drunk?" Hegan whispered to Dede at the door. She shook her head and showed him in.
And there were one or two super-fanatics ranking ahead even of the fishermen and the sand-diggers who clung to that weird and changing region the whole year through. Medora Phillips' house was several miles beyond the worst of the hurly- burly. There were no tents in sight, even in August. Nor was the honk of the motor-horn heard even during the most tumultuous Sundays.
A harbour seal pushed its head above the water, looked at the toiling men curiously for a moment, then disappeared below the surface, leaving an eddy where it had been. Gulls soared overhead, their white wings and bodies looking very pure and beautiful in the sunlight. High in the air a flock of ducks passed to the southward. From somewhere in the distance came the honk of a wild goose.
With a horrified honk the automobile passed over the young man, who lay senseless in the snow. He was not killed. Miss Terry saw him taken to his home close by, where his broken leg was set and his bruises attended to. She saw him lying bandaged and white on his bed when the woman and her child were brought to see him. Johnnie was still clasping closely the unlucky Flanton Dog.
The houses commenced to appear at more frequent intervals now, and took on a character a little different from the old weather-grayed dwellings of the open country. There showed a white, slim church spire above the trees. "Scarborough," said Archie, and made the horn speak. "You'll be careful?" she asked. "Through the village " "Honk! honk!"
Then, late one afternoon, there came floating down to him from high up in the sky, faintly at first but growing louder, a sound unlike any Peter had heard all the long summer through. The sound was a voice. Rather it was many voices mingled "Honk, honk, honk, honk, honk, honk, honk!" Peter gave a little jump. "That's what I've been listening for!" he cried.
"'Humph! says I. 'Well, I'll have to swim ashore, that's all, and go up to the station inlet after another boat. You stand by the ship. If she gets afloat afore I come back you honk and holler and I'll row after you. I'll fetch the anchors and we'll moor her wherever she happens to be. If she shouldn't float on an even keel, or goes to capsize, you jump overboard and swim ashore. I'll
Blutch Connors made exit from one of these houses, noiseless, with scarcely a click after him, and then, without pause, passed down the brownstone steps and eastward. A taxicab slid by, its honk as sorrowful as the cry of a plover in a bog. Another this one drawing up alongside, in quest of fare.
