You young rascal!" he continued, turning suddenly upon Peter, and shaking him vigorously. "Let me catch you at this business again, and I'll give you such a warming that you'll never want to touch another cat." "Let me go!" cried the terrified boy. "I didn't know it was your cat." "It would have been just as bad if it had been somebody else's cat. I've a great mind to put you in the lockup."
But I'm dreamin', yes, it's dreamin' I am but I don't think I ever did dream that I thought I was dreamin' an' yet wasn't quite sure. Really it's perplexin', to say the least on it. Ain't it, Toozle?" Toozle wagged his tail. "Ah, here comes my imaginary jailer to let me out o' this here abominably real-lookin' imaginary lockup. Hang Jo Bumpus! why it's "
"You're too late," said one of the citizens, to Amos Radbury, as they rode up to the lockup. "Too late?" "Yes." "What do you mean?" asked Dan. "You're after that Hank Stiger, I take it?" "We are." "He skipped out, day before yesterday." "Broke jail?" "Well, not exactly that, Radbury. Louis Reemer was a-watching of him, and Louis got drunk and left the jail door unlocked, and "
Gates, will you be kind enough to convince this gentleman that he owes me money?" asked Philip. "I think he won't deny it now," said Gates significantly. "He walked off from my hotel this morning, leaving his bill unpaid. Professor Riccabocca, it strikes me you had better settle with us, unless you wish to pass the night in the lockup."

Mention has been made above of the difference which exists between getting into an inn after lockup and into a private house. Mike was to find this out for himself. His first act on arriving at Sedleigh was to replace his bicycle in the shed. This he accomplished with success. It was pitch-dark in the shed, and as he wheeled his machine in, his foot touched something on the floor.
Martin, from the Pecan Grove Ranch." "Right, my lad. How in the world did you come here?" "I just escaped from the lockup, and was trying to reach the Texan lines. Do you know anything of my father?" "Do I? Why, he's in the house just below here, along with your brother. We came Back, or you'll be shot!"
"I'm Rhinehart," said one softly. "Keep me in mind, Sinclair. I'm him that you smashed with your knee. Dirty work! I'll see you when you get out of the lockup if that ever happens!" The voice of Sinclair was not so soft. "I'll meet you in jail or out," he answered, "on foot or on horseback, with fists or knife or gun.
He was going along the rocks in three-fathom water, watching the pollock catch prawns, and the wrasses nibble barnacles off the rocks, shells and all, when he saw a round cage of green withes; and inside it, looking very much ashamed of himself, sat his friend the lobster, twiddling his horns, instead of thumbs. "What, have you been naughty, and have they put you in the lockup?" asked Tom.
But, in truth, Rudolf gave no thought to either his story or his powers. If he were caught, the best he could hope would be to lie in the lockup while Rupert played his game unmolested. The device that he had employed against the amazed ruffians could be used against lawful authority only as a last and desperate resort. While he could run, run he would.
What might in former days have been a tragedy was nothing more than a farce. But it spoiled the night for Merrihew, and he was for going back to the hotel. Hillard agreed. "At first I wanted you to give him a good stiff punch," said Merrihew, "but I am glad you didn't." "We should have slept in the lockup over night if I had.
