"I don't feel dead sure that Rabig helped him," said Frank, "and yet the more I think it over, the more I'm inclined to think that Tom is right about it. Still, Rabig's entitled to the benefit of the doubt. I know how the Scotch jury felt when they brought in the verdict: 'Not guilty, but don't do it again." "That's just what I'm afraid Rabig will do," said Tom.
But it was gospel truth about Andy. He even confessed that he had been up to old Rabig's place to get him to join the crowd in playing some more measly tricks on us here. You see he was sorry, and had to just tell all these things." "All but about my gun, hang him," grumbled Bluff, indignantly. "Bother your old gun!
He was morally certain that the German corporal, whom Nick had been assigned to guard, had escaped with Rabig's connivance, and he remembered what Frank had told him about hearing Rabig's voice in the woods the night the German spy was shot. But Rabig's cunning, or perhaps his luck, had prevented his treachery being proved.
You're the most contemptible thing that breathes. You're a disgrace to your uniform. You ought to be wearing a wooden overcoat and you will when Uncle Sam lays his hands on you. I ought to kill you myself this minute." His hand clenched the pistol which he had taken from Rabig's pocket, and a look of craven fear came into the traitor's eyes. "Oh, don't be afraid," said Tom scornfully.
Nick Rabig was a young man of powerful build, and under ordinary conditions Tom would have had his work cut out for him. But the surprise and the shock had taken all the fight out of the traitor, and Tom's sinewy hands never relaxed until Rabig's face was purple and he lay limp and gasping. Then Tom improvised a gag and thrust it into the rascal's mouth and rapidly bound his hands and feet.
Where and when? He cudgeled his brain and then it came to him. It was Nick Rabig's voice! That is, he thought it was. But at that distance he could not be perfectly sure. At any rate it was time to act. With a bound he leaped forward. "Halt!" he cried. "Halt or I fire." There were startled exclamations from both men, and then a prodigious scrambling in the bushes as they tried to escape.
"Hello, Nick!" he said. "See you've got back." "That's plain enough to see," responded Nick surlily. "Papa's little sunshine," murmured Billy under his breath. "Huns seem to have fed you pretty well," remarked Frank. Rabig only grunted and looked at Frank suspiciously. "Did you see anything of Tom Bradford over there?" asked Frank. A look of surprise came into Rabig's little eyes.
