"No yes!" cried Paul, "it's a very funny game; only do what I tell you. Now say, 'I wish Papa and Brother Dick back again as they were before. I'll give you a sugar-plum if you say it nicely." "What sort of sugar-plum?" demanded Roly, who inherited business instincts. "Any sort you like best!" almost shrieked Paul; "oh, do get on!" "Lots of sugar-plums, then.
"I don't know how heavy his nine ideas are," said Townsend. "They would be the only thing that could sink it." "We'll reach him easy as pie " "Please don't say that word," Townsend pled. "I think I see the lantern now," said Billy. "I was afraid he might have eaten that " "I could eat it myself," said Roly Poly. "It's probably all you get," said Townsend.
"Daddy never whips Roly anyhow, except sometimes to tap him on the nose with his finger when our poodle does something a little bad. Daddy would never use this big wooden whip, anyhow." "The farmer-man said he was bringing it to Daddy to whip my beans," went on Mab. "I wonder what he means?" Just then Daddy Blake himself came on the front stoop.
Nat bowed his head and tugged at his moustache, his shoulders shaking with emotion variously construed by those who watched him. Presently he looked up again, his features gravely composed. "Roly," said he, "Balaam must miss you terribly." "That ain't no answer." Lockwood put himself solidly between Nat and the object of his obscure remark who was painfully digesting it.
"Don't you go," urged Pee-wee; "we've got a right here; we're going to camp on this island." "Sure we are," said Roly Poly. "And you can't make us get off, either, because it isn't on your land." Old Trimmer wasted no words. "Pile in here, all of you," he said, indicating the boat, "or I'll have yer all up fer trespassin'." "Do you own this old scow or whatever it is underneath us?"
"Why, damn you !" he screamed, and promptly became inarticulate with rage. "Ah! ah! ah!" Nat wagged a reproving forefinger. "Naughty word, Roly! Careful, or you'll sour your chewing gum." "Now, say! Do you think "
"Then I'm sure this is our Roly-Poly!" cried "Oh, you dear Roly!" she cried, and the spotted poodle dog tried to climb up in her arms and kiss her, he was so glad to see her. "I believe it is Roly," said Daddy Blake. "It is all very wonderful, but it must be our Roly." "Well, if he's yours, take him," said the engineer kindly. "I always wondered how he got under the ice.
The boys all kneeled about, peering in as if buried treasure were there, until an area of muddy wood was revealed. Roly Poly knocked it with a rock and the noise convinced them that the wood was of considerable area and that probably nothing was beneath it. "Well what do you know about that?" Billy asked incredulously. "Jab it down somewhere else," said Brownie.
Helen changed the position of the saucers and Della made another trial. This time the Fates booked her as a spinster. "That's the least trouble of anything," decided roly poly Della who took life carelessly. A third attempt proved that a widower was to be her future helpmate, for her fingers went into the sandy saucer for a second time.
He took care, however, to stop at the first window, when he managed, after some coaxing, to persuade Roly to give up the Garudâ Stone. As soon as he had it in his hands again, he opened the window wide and flung the dangerous talisman far out into the darkness. Not till then did he feel perfectly secure.
