Chow Hop had kept his hands up inside his wide sleeves. Now Farley leaped forward as he shouted: "Look out, Darry! He has a knife!" Farley attempted to seize the Chinaman's wrist, for the purpose of disarming the yellow man, but Dave swiftly threw the Chinaman around out of Farley's reach. Then, with a lightning-like move, Dave knocked the knife from Chow Hop's hand.
If you disturb him when he's cooking he's apt to throw a pail of water at you." "Hop's all right, father," declared Horace loyally. "He only throws water when the boys try to steal his doughnuts. Um m, but Hop can make doughnuts! You two just wait till you're riding all day and then see if they don't taste good."
Hop's dice were not straight dice. They had only fives and sixes stamped on them, so no matter how they were rolled less than fifteen could not come up. Though the dice were not exactly the size of those furnished by Hoker, it would be hard to tell the difference, unless one made a close examination of them. Hop rolled out the dice and two sixes and a five showed up.
From Chow Hop's wretched establishment it was not far to the other building that Dave had in mind as a destination.

If you find the jack of hearts anywhere on me the Chinaman wins. If you don't find it I win."
He could hear the Chinaman talking in his bland way to the villains. There had been a man watching for Hop's return, but in some way he had neglected to be looking at the time Charlie crept up, and it was not until he had escorted the Chinaman to the leader that he went to the curtain to stand guard again.
Felicia tried to describe it all to Kirk, and wondered as she gazed at him, standing beside her with the eager, listening look his face so often wore, how much of it could mean anything to him but an incomprehensible string of words. Ken returned from Asquam in Hop's chariot, surrounded by bundles. "Luxury!" he proclaimed, when the spoils were unloaded.
We tender the bereaved widow our sincere sympathy at the regular rates. The cause of Mr. Hop's demise is unknown. It is unimportant. .... A dead Asian was recently found in a ditch in Nevada county.
It is very useful sometimes to see the things which one ought to avoid, as it is right to see very often those which one ought to imitate, and my friend Hop's manners will frequently point out to you, what yours ought to be by the rule of contraries. Congreve points out a sort of critics, to whom he says that we are doubly obliged:
