I'll see you at camp. "P. S. If I had to vote again for patrol leader I'd vote for you." He was particular not to mention Tom by name and to address his note to Roy. A walk of a few yards or so brought him to the railroad track. He was no longer the clown and mascot of the Good Turn; he was the scout, alert, resourceful, bent on hiding his tracks.
"Did you really want me?" she said; and then, "You gave me but two hours to catch the old Touraine!" Battery A had a mascot goat, and Battery C a Filipino kid, and Battery D a parrot that could swear in five languages, but I guess we were the only battery in the brigade that carried an old lady! Filipino, nothing!
Barraclough heard the order and swept over to the right to disturb the aim as a couple of leaden hornets buzzed angrily past his ear striking the macadam a hundred yards ahead and whining away into the distance. Freddie Dirk's execution with an automatic was below the quality of his Mascot work.
Corkey gazes scornfully at his inquisitors. "As I was a-saying, I let down the yawl, and it was no good it was good enough it saved us. When I get in the wet, I screw my nut and the blooming old tub was gone down, I reckon!" When Corkey screws his nut he turns his head. He can use no other phrase. The interviewers are busy catching his exact words. "Then I pick up the mascot, and he bail.
It is, therefore, time for Lockwin to give him sympathy. "Corkey is a good fellow," thinks Lockwin, gazing contentedly on his caller. "I'm afraid it ain't no use," says Corkey, half to himself.

He knew by bitter experience how unchangeable her whims were, how obstinately she clung to even the most absurd. She leaned forward breathlessly. The crowd hung silently on the track. "Lu-Lu" and "Mascot" were neck and neck, getting in splendid work. Half-way round the course "Lu-Lu" forged half a neck ahead, and her backers went mad.
"Don't ye see, ye fool, he don't belong to any wan of us. He belongs to the crowd to the regiment. That's what he's tryin' to show us. He's what that Frinchman down in F calls a a mascot; and, be jabers, he moves like a soldier!"
I've been there five times since without ever making enough to pay for our salt." A week later the captain said to the boy: "Dick, you are a mascot. You've brought us big luck. We never had such weather here but once and I don't care now how soon it comes on to blow. I reckon it'll begin to-night from the looks and we'll hike for Key West to-morrow." Dick was glad to go.
"Can if you want to, the train is coming back that night after the game. But a good many will stay over till Monday." "When do you have to know?" "You ought to give in your names by to-morrow night. Peter John is going along. I think he'll be a good mascot, don't you?" laughed Hawley. "I'm sorry Peter John is going," said Foster thoughtfully. "Sorry!" exclaimed Hawley aghast.
The aeroplane that has the most is the cock machine of the squadrilla six in the squadrilla and holds the title until some one gets a bigger peppering and displaces him. They are very jealous of this distinction, and the counting has to be very carefully carried out by an impartial jury, for the cock aeroplane has the honor of carrying the mascot of the squadrilla.
