"Did you see any of them have a gun?" asked Bluff, faintly. "I done t'ink de whole bunch hab guns; least-way dat was my 'pression at de time dat creeper done trip me up. It's lucky my haid is 'customed to hard knocks, or it split open for sure."
They tread on clouds, and though they sometimes fall, They fall like dew, and make no noise at all: So silently they one to th' other come As colors steal into the pear or plum; And air-like, leave no pression to be seen Where'er they met, or parting place has been.

"It's a leetle out of my way," suggested Constable Stokes. The constable pocketed with alacrity the half-dollar our hero tendered him, and said briskly. "I'll send him right off."
