The highway soon became a long puddle of mud, through which he splashed, finding it more and more difficult every minute to push the bicycle in the thick, sticky clay. Above the roar of the wind and the swishing of the rain he heard another sound. It was a steady "puff-puff," and then the darkness was cut by a glare of light. "An automobile," said Tom aloud. "Guess I'd better get out of the way."
Silence was around us, broken only by the weird cry of the loon diving in the distant bay, and the ceaseless, monotonous puff-puff of the little tug as she pursued her way over the peaceful waters.
"I don't care how wet I get, if only we are successful in our chase." "I am mit you on dot," returned the German cadet, quickly. Two hours passed and they saw no other craft. They had passed several settlements of more or less importance, but not a sign of the missing houseboat appeared. "Here comes something!" cried Tom, presently, as they heard a distant puff-puff.
A pin dropping would have sounded like a tin wash boiler rolling downstairs in the silence which fell upon the office of the Hinds House. Uncle Bill, looking serenely at the circle of tense faces, continued to smoke while he took his own time to reply. "I'm a thinkin'," puff-puff "that when you sink a hundred feet below the surface," puff-puff "you won't git a damn thing."
Luigi considered that, having lately been believed in, he could not afford to look untruthful, and replied with a sprightly "Assuredly." "He was there, and he read the writing on the paper?" "Assuredly: right out loud, between puff-puff of his cigar." "His name is Lieutenant Pierson. Did not Antonio-Pericles tell you his name?
"The ropes are too high for you and Flossie. You just play around on the barn floor, and you can watch Nan and me swing. Then we'll play steamboat, maybe." "I want to be the steam, and go puff-puff!" cried Freddie. "And I want to be the captain and say 'All aboard!" was Flossie's wish. "You can take turns," agreed Bert. "Now don't get in our way, Flossie and Freddie.
This you?" asked the red man, as the Indians are sometimes called. "Yes, that's mine," said Bunny. "It's a train of cars." "Oh, puff-puff train. Eagle Feather ride in puff-puff train once. How him go?" and he set Bunny's train down on a smooth rock, while the little boy shook the dust from his clothes and tried to comb it out of his hair with his fingers.
The cañon was crossable here; we reached the other side and then turned back at a gallop, scanning the snow for a trail, the hills for a moving form, or the wind for a sound of life. "Squeak, squeak," went our saddle leathers, "puff-puff" our Horses, and their feet "ka-ka-lump, ka-ka-lump." We were back opposite to where the Wolf had plunged, but saw no sign.
Swiftly the long train with clanging bell and snorting engine came up to the depot. The conductor swung easily to the platform, and, watch in hand, walked quickly to the office. Porters and trainmen tumbled off, and with a long hiss of escaping air and a steady puff-puff, the train stopped.
After promising Clara J. that I would never again light a pipe at the race track, there I stood, one of the busiest puff-puff laddies on the circuit. Well, the truth of the matter is just this: I fell asleep at the switch and somebody put the white lights all over me.
