"I won't be able to practise to-day," he said; "but I'll go down to lunch." As he was dressing the boys began to come in from college and ran whistling up the stairs. Graves bustled into the room with rather anxious haste. "How're you feeling?" he asked. "Pretty rocky. Graves I told Ward about it," said Raymond.

They'll all stick together for a five-dollar bill and swear they never was on the beach at all. If they do, how're we goin' to prove it?" "That's logic," the eavesdropping Gibney murmured to the binnacle. "Oh, hell's bells, shut up and let's go home," Dan Hicks cried wearily. "We can catch him when he comes in." "Suppose he doesn't come in. Suppose he's bound for Seattle, Dan."
"Looks like some wild beast had attacked him," muttered the old man, in awed tones, as he bent over the lifeless body. "D'ye see the teeth marks, sir? But it's not possible not possible."

"I ain't up here to do no harm," called the ex-highwayman. "I ain't got the spirit for warfare. My chief is killed, my pards is dead. Even that innocent stage-driver what knew nothing of us, is killed in the attack that Brick Willock made on us in the dark and behind our backs.

"Where are we?" I asked, sitting up. "Hello, kid!" replied Herky, cheerily. "We come up to the head of the canyon, thet's all. How're you feelin'?" "I'm all right, only tired.

"I'm perfectly well, thank you."
