"Then, you make this man liable to commit any crime: so, if he murders, you are a murderer; if he commits suicide, your guilty soul shall cower in the presence of Him who said, 'No self- murderer shall inherit eternal life. It is your own doom you shall read in them dreadful words." "Good landy, Samantha! do you want to scare me to death?" and Josiah quailed and shook, and shook and quailed.
"We must not let the Judge see poor old Maddy in his present plight. It would infuriate the Judge to sentence those buzzards to the hoosegow for life. Then too, I must see this sheriff alone, if the plan is made to work. Drive on, my boy," he said to Goff, "and we'll try to keep in sight. See you tomorrow night, maybe," he called to Landy and Davy as the two cars got underway.
"Huh! guess you'd a tried to climb, too, if you'd been in my place," grunted the stout scout, drawing his coat a little closer around him, and shivering. "No, I'd have stuck by the boat, Landy," said Toby, soberly. Landy shot him a suspicious glance but did not make a reply.
That surely ought to be an abundance of time in which to carry out their plans, granting that they could overtake the fugitives. Elmer had again cautioned them to keep still. The swamp was very silent where they now found themselves, and sounds could be carried to some distance under such conditions. Landy was getting on fairly well, considering a number of things that he had to contend with.
"He's the best man in the deestrict," said Landy thoughtfully. "But he's got the same problems we have. He's got critters to feed, en he can't run two places when the snow is here. I hope, however, that Davy here can make him a permanent offer that will move him at once. "But we've got to git them yearlin's outa the Cliffs en up to the stables," Landy announced emphatically.
"Lil Artha, take Mark and Landy in the smaller skiff; the rest will go with me," he announced immediately. Mark was the nearest chum of the patrol leader, but Elmer disliked favoritism, and hence he thus tacitly placed Lil Artha in command of the second boat.
This was an easy matter for a thin fellow like Lil Artha, but to stout Landy it was quite a different task, though he succeeded in flattening himself out wonderfully well, all things considered. When finally smoke was discovered, their caution increased, if such a thing were possible.
I'm all pinched up and wigglin' with shivers now. 'T ain't no use lettin' the hoss go step-a-ty-step, this fashion." "Landy me!" exclaimed the affronted driver. "I don't see why folks expects me to race with the cars. Everybody that gits in wants me to run the hoss to death on the road. I make a good everage o' time, and that's all I can do.
Landy eagerly assisted, though Lil Artha kept a watchful eye on what he gathered lest he mix in green stuff that would make a black smoke when it burned. Another scout managed to find a stick with a crotch that would hold the coffee-pot over the blaze until it had boiled.
Having seen Maizie, Ugly decided he would travel back with them. All details for the trip were now completed, except that a little more expense money was badly needed. Landy cautioned Ike Steele not to disclose the proposed move to anyone else.
