I was trapped near Sentinum, on the Kalends of this month. Never mind how; even in this plight I'm ashamed of it. They just missed nabbing Felix Bulla along with me. But he got away that time. And I prophesy that now he is warned of his danger and knows the cleverness of the men on his trail, he'll show himself yet cleverer. He is a marvel, is Felix Bulla, and promises to outdo even my record."
"He knows you are in hiding hereabouts, and has been scouring the neighborhood well for you or, more belike, for both of us." "How do you know this?" I asked. "I have both seen and heard. This den of ours opens on the river's edge, and, two days since, his Indians came within an ace of nabbing me. 'Twas just at dusk, and I made out to dodge them by doubling past in the canoe."
As for Abellino, he was confined to his bed for a whole month, and when he had partially recovered, he received a hint from his well-wishers to the effect that, until the affair had blown over a little, it would be as well if he took the air somewhere abroad; and that, too, not in any civilized kingdom, for there they would not be very long in nabbing a man like him who had so many creditors and loved to make a stir, but in some nice Oriental empire where he would be out of harm's way.
They kept guard and thought they had a sure thing of nabbing the burglars as they emerged with their spoils. Then suddenly the stillness of the hour was broken by the loud report of a pistol not half a square away. All the policemen rushed in the direction of the sound, and saw a man fleeing in the distance. Two of them pursued him, blowing their whistles as they ran.
And then a rhyme when it has puzzled you all day, the pleasure you have in nabbing it at last!" "Oh, it's po'thry you're spakin' about," said Larry. "To be sure," said Goggins; "do you think I'd throw away my time on prose? You're burning that bacon, Tim," said he to his sub. "Poethry, agen the world!" continued he to Larry, "the Castilian sthraime for me!
The police are coming and they'll get you, and I can identify you, if they don't succeed in nabbing you red-handed." Shocked and almost paralyzed, Mr.
Finally the vandals began carving initials on the wagon bed and cutting off pieces to carry away. Eventually I put a stop to such vandalism by employing special police, posting notices, and nabbing some offenders in the very act. Give me Indians on the Plains to contend with; give me fleas or even the detested sage-brush ticks to burrow into the flesh; but deliver me from cheap notoriety seekers!
"If he does, and had happened to be about, he could have taken your car in good shape," smiled Dick. "True," nodded the officer, "but there were only two of us, and nabbing Tag Mosher is two men's work." "I ought to know that," laughed Dick. "He gave me a stiff enough beating." "Here is where you can even the score," laughed Dave grimly. "I don't want to even any score," replied Prescott gravely.
