"By Jiminy! that's just what I said, Bruce," cried Jiminy Gordon, "and Romper agrees with me." "Sure I do," said Romper, suddenly making his appearance from the workshop, his mended snowshoe in hand. "Then it's Haystack Mountain.
The moment had little more rousing for him, than if he were asked to fasten a child's romper.... Yet he did not miss that here was one of the eternal types of man's pursuit as natural a man's woman as ever animated a roomful of photographs a woman who could love much, and, as Heine added, many. "I'll just throw a shawl around, if you can't," she urged, nudging her shoulder.
"Just the stuff," recommended Romper Ryan, who had been inspecting the apparatus, "handy and compact. Doesn't weigh more than a hundred pounds. Two of us could handle it in fine shape. We certainly would like to have it." "All right," acquiesced Mr. Clifford, "it's yours."
The Palace Hotel at Fort Romper was painted a light blue, a shade that is on the legs of a kind of heron, causing the bird to declare its position against any background. The Palace Hotel, then, was always screaming and howling in a way that made the dazzling winter landscape of Nebraska seem only a gray swampish hush.
"Jimmy, look at that machine," exclaimed Gordon, who was the first one to enter the building. "Cracky, it's the best make on the market, too," said Nipper Knapp, examining the maker's name plate. "Bet it will burn up the beach, eh, fellows?" said Romper. "It sure will. It's a two-cylinder tandem. It'll make fifty miles an hour, or I'm no judge," said Bruce enthusiastically.
This was quickly adjusted, as was the machinery on the ground, and in a few minutes the wireless station had been assembled and Bruce was at the key, flashing crackling messages into the air. Applause came from the grandstand, but before the clapping died away, the lads lined up in front of the taller of the two poles again and Romper produced a roll of shining red silk from one of the tents.
"You're right it will," said Bruce, "thank goodness we have everything shipshape up at headquarters to get a good start. There's more than enough wire in the lot Mr. Ford sent over. And I guess we must have put on about three thousand lamp sockets during the last few days, haven't we?" "Two thousand and eighty-seven," corrected Romper, "and it's a good thing school lets out at noon to-morrow."
The scouts called their meeting immediately, and after a careful study of the troop's merit badge list, and a painful process of elimination, the ten oldest and best fitted scouts of the troop were selected to become members of the life-saving crew. Then Bruce, Romper and Jiminy took the letter to Mr. Ford and gave him the whole details of the case. Mr.
It is irrefutable that in all affairs outside of his business, in all matters that occur eternally and commonly between man and man, this thieving card-player was so generous, so just, so moral, that, in a contest, he could have put to flight the consciences of nine-tenths of the citizens of Romper.
A stout good-natured looking man with a little five-year-old girl in a bathing suit perched on his shoulder and a big collie dog romping by his side, was easily the most conspicuous individual on the long station platform. Bruce caught sight of him as he descended the steps of the coach. "That's Mr. Herrick, or I'm a duffer at guessing," he said to Romper, who was just behind him.
