With me it's six and a half years day after to-morrow, Easter Day, since I asked myself that question first." "Even my Irving says to me to-night up in the room; jumping up and down on the hearth like he had four legs " "I heard him, Mrs. Katz, on my ceiling like he had eight legs." "'Mamma, he says, 'guess why I feel like saying "Baa."" "Saying what?" "Sheep talk, Mrs. Finshriber.
Katz appeared deeply interested in what the boy was saying. In fact he seemed rather excited, too, and the boys noticed that he reached out one hand to stroke the gun, which lay near his side, as he listened. Sandy nudged George in the side and whispered: "I'll bet Tommy's got him scared half to death!" "I guess that's what the kid's telling him these stories for!" George ventured.
"I've been talking the matter of the robbery over with Cullen," Katz said, with a smile intended to be conciliating, "and he says that he's heard of this boy before, and that he's a noted thief. And so," the detective continued, "I'm very glad to be able to apologize to you for anything I might have said at a time when I was excited over my loss.
"I've been treated like a dip by Wynn and Katz," said he, "and I'm going to be square with you, Clancy, just to get even with them. When we lifted the fifteen thousand, at the time you were shot, we laid a bee line for Los Angeles. We've been there ever since, up to last Sunday morning. Gerald was bughouse on a gambling proposition, across the Mexican line.
"Is that so?" came a hoarse and scornful voice from the darkness. "I'm Detective Katz, of the Chicago force," continued the officer, "and I command you, in the name of the law, to return our weapons and let us depart in peace!" "And I guess you don't know who we are!" came the voice from inside. "We're Red Mike of the Gulch and Daring Dan of the Devil's Dip, and we're out for blood!
There was no moon as yet although there would be one later on, and little could be seen of the horsemen who were doubtless seeking refuge in the canons farther to the north, but the heavy breathing of the horses and the creaking of the saddles could be distinctly heard. "I just went to the tent to wake Katz!" Tommy chuckled, "and saw him sneaking away making flat-footed for the hills!"
"And so, one of your chums was prowling around in the darkness, too," snarled the detective. "Who is that person with him?" "I don't know," answered Sandy. "Yes you do know, too!" gritted Katz, "You just came from that direction yourself, and you probably left the two together when you came away." "You're off there," Sandy answered.
I've been robbed in this camp, and as soon as my men come up I'm going to know whether my property is here or not!" "If you try any funny business with us," Sandy cut in, "you'll get your block knocked off!" "We'll see about that when my men come up!" retorted Katz, defiantly.
"That's the sort, of a jigger this Wynn is," he finished. "You're no better than he is," snapped Burton. "If I could come within arm's reach o' him, by thunder, I'd show whether I'm better than he is, or not!" cried Katz, getting up with an effort and sitting on the edge of the cot. "You say," said Clancy, speaking quickly, "that Hogan and Wynn are intending to get away in the Sylvia to-night?"
They happened very suddenly, too: Clancy and Wynn sprang toward Katz at the same time Clancy for the satchel and Wynn for the revolver. The work of both was excellent, for each got what he went after. The approaching boat, by that time, was close alongside. In another moment, Hogan and Wynn would be supplied with reenforcements. "Give me that!" yelled Katz, jumping toward Clancy.
