His head was swimming in a hot maelstrom of pain, but it was quieting as his breathing returned to normal. As long as his opponents were slower or less ruthless, he could take care of himself. The trouble, though, was that Isaiah Trench was neither slow nor squeamish. Gordon gathered the two hoodlums under his arms and dragged them with him. He came out in the truckyard and began searching.

I'm interested in the sights of the town, that's all. Listen to those hoodlums, will you?" In the middle of that block rose a great public building of florid and hideous architecture, absurdly expensive for so small a town, and running fast to seed. On the corner ahead, at the crest of the slope, stood the handsomest and most prosperous-looking building they had yet seen.

Turning, Hal fought his way to the other side of Chester's prostrate body. Then, bending down, he lifted his chum to his feet. "Hurt much?" he asked. "No," replied Chester, shaking his head like an enraged bull. "Let me get at them again!" He rushed in among his assailants with even greater desperation than before, and two young hoodlums fell before his blows.

This is a genuine cry of anguish and terror from the Hoodlums; for, bear in mind that, according to the best medical opinion in the Sandwich Islands, where this disease is most frequent and has been most thoroughly studied, it is communicated only by cohabitation or the most intimate association.

Kelly owned the feed-store back of which the gang had loafed for years, and though himself a respectable businessman his name had been attached to the pack of hoodlums who held forth at his back door as the easiest means of locating and identifying its motley members.

I know of four or five racket gangs in this area that have aircraft like that, based up in the Adirondacks, at secret fields.

And at last they were out on the bridge.

It sounded like D-Day at Normandy, and I didn't like the sound of it. I made a quick decision and slammed on the brakes, then backed the car back the way we had come. Sol looked at me. "What " "Local color," I explained quickly. "This the place you were talking about? Chris's? Let's go in and see if we can find some of these hoodlums." "But, Mr.

Politics were still turbulent; but Perkins' gang of hoodlums was fairly wiped out, and the Committee was working systematically and openly for the best interests of the town. There had been a hanging the week before; a public hanging in the square, after a trial as fair as any court properly authorized could give. "Not much like that farce they pulled off that day with Jack," asserted Bill.

These receptacles are supposed to be behind, or very near, lawless saloons, where gangs of hoodlums are waiting to assault the bearers of these mysterious tickets.
