"Let's take a squint at it, partner," remarked Bluff, anxiously. He ran through the list. "Don't think I'm going on short rations," laughed Frank, noting the expression akin to dismay appearing on the other's face; "but you see we'll have our motor-cycles along, and when we need a new lot of groceries it'll just be fun to mount and fly down here to pick up a bundle.
But Jimmie remembered the armies, locked in their grip of death; never would despatch-riders need their motor-cycles more urgently than now! Also Jimmie remembered the sergeant at the recruiting-office. "You understand, you're under military discipline now!" He set his jaw in a grim resolve. The "subs" be damned, he would go and do his part!
Now and again, in some woodland glade where summer still lingered, he would pass by happy groups engaged in black-berrying; while on the road there waited the charabancs, the motor-cycles, the pony-traps, which had brought them. Once, when they came to such a spot, he, Radmore, called out to his chauffeur to stop.
A few minutes later of more moderate traveling brought them to a point where a view could be had of the camp-site. "Over to the right notice those twin hemlocks yonder well, the wonderful spring bubbles up close beside those trees. Hold up, Frank!" called Jerry. So the quartette dismounted, jumping from their wheels while still in motion, after the habit of those who use motor-cycles.
I'd rather have the model and the papers, though, than half a dozen motor-cycles." "Maybe the police will help you find them," said Mrs. Blackford.

If honest people did those things, they'd be arrested in a minute, but it seems that scoundrels can do as they please."

"We could go on our motor-cycles, and have a wagon bring the duffle along.
He had thought that repairing motor-cycles would be pretty much the same anywhere you did it; but he found that it was one thing to repair motor-cycles to be ridden by errand-boys and working-men out for a holiday with their sweethearts, and another and entirely different thing to repair them for fighting-men and dispatch-couriers.
It's a lucky thing that all of us know something about machinery. Our experience with our motor-cycles will come in good play now. And here's Jerry been studying up on the running of an automobile with that retired chauffeur, Garrison, who's teaching Andy Lasher how to run a car." "Yes, but, Frank, how about you taking lessons about the engine of a motor-boat?
The motor-cycles had been securely packed away under the big fly all this time, and had not suffered at all from the rain. Indeed, the boys took good care to keep them well oiled, knowing the benefit of having such valuable pieces of mechanism in first-class order at all times. Jerry went over to the farmer's and secured the horses and wagon. Then the work of dismantling Kamp Kill Kare began.
Evelyn Erith, in the tiny room on the left, slept deeply. So Recklow went out into his garden, opened the wooden door in the wall, seated himself, lighted his pipe, and watched the Belfort road. About ten o'clock two American electricians came buzzing up on motor-cycles. Recklow got up and went to the door in the wall as they dismounted.
