Almost before Flea realized that he had gone, he was in the cave again with Snatchet in his arms, displaying his plunder. "Put 'em on quick!" ordered Flukey. "Here, hold still!" As he spoke, he gathered Flea's black curls into his fingers and cut them off boylike to her head. "If Pappy Lon catches us," he went on, "he'll knock hell out of us both."
"We did this," concluded Captain Dan, with a sigh of reminiscence, and with his eyes shining, "and we got Simon into the jail at Elberad, too. "Lon and I kept on up into Arizona, into Dry Bone Cañon, and there we cached the stuff.
Suddenly Lem looked up. "We couldn't get ahead of the nasty scamp, could we, Lon? I mean, could we git the money, and then keep the gal?" "I don't want her," growled Lon; "she couldn't stay with me no more." "We oughter make him pay the money, though," Lem insisted.
All exchanged greetings, and many good-natured jokes were bandied back and forth as they made their purchases. "You fellows will have to step lively to get ahead of me," said Lon Beardsley, who was older than any of the radio boys and was in the senior class at High School. He was one of the brightest boys in his class, and the others knew that competition from him was not to be despised.
"Oh, and we thought you had stolen it, Ah Lon dear!" Jinty confessed, with wild weeping; but Ah Lon was placidly smoothing the precious little picture. It was enough for her that it had come back. "Grandpapa must know; he must be told!" went on Jinty, determined not to spare herself. When the professor heard the whole story he was very quiet indeed.
Lat. 9 54' N., lon. 113 17' W. The northeast trades had now left us, and we had the usual variable winds, the ``doldrums, which prevail near the line, together with some rain.
Edwards and each of the girls but that Boston one, right now. And I wouldn't miss your show in Jackleg, Frances, for a penny! "I only wish Lon were here to enjoy it. I got a letter from that minister saying that Lon and he will reach here next week. If they'd come early in the week they'd get here in time for the pageant, anyway."
Slip on yer pants, and don't wake Granny Cronk nor Pappy Lon!" If it had not been that the boy pressed his fingers on the blanket, Flea would have wondered if her brother had heard. The lithe form had crept back to the ladder and had disappeared before Flukey slipped quietly from his bed and drew on the blue-jeans overalls.
A mother somewhere living in the world, a woman who, if she knew, would not let her be sacrificed, who would save her from Lem, and from her father, too! "Lon, Lon!" she cried, springing forward in desperation. "Do you know where she is? I want to know, too." He flung her away, a grunt of satisfaction coming from his throat. "And I ain't yer daddy, nuther."
"Do you want me to go with Pappy Lon and not make any trouble for her?" she whispered. "No, no, not that! You can't go, Fledra, and they can't take you, if you have told me the truth about the man your father wanted to give you to."
