The leg wound was not too bad, but the sun had affected the boy who had lain in its full glare most of the day. He must have help. The saddlebags of drugs, Boyd needing help one should balance the other. Those facts seesawed back and forth in Drew's aching head, and he held his muttering burden close as Kirby found them a path away from the rending guns and the blaze of the fires.
I have hunted all the beach stores through for such essentials as will pack into small compass, and every one said "So you are going to 'the mountain; I hope you'll have a good time;" or, "I hope you'll have the luck to get up." Among the friends of my hosts all sorts of useful articles were produced, a camp kettle, a camping blanket, a huge Mexican poncho, a cardigan, capacious saddlebags, etc.
Nobody is going to hurt you." She went to the door, leisurely uncocking her revolver and pushing it through her belt. "Oh, Connor," she called carelessly, "please mount my friend Mr. Snuyder on my horse, take him across the ford, and detain him as my guest at headquarters until I return. Wait a second; I'm going to keep my saddlebags with me."
She hurried away to change her dress for her long ride, urging Joan to lose not a moment in doing the same; but what was her dismay on her return to find her daughter still in her indoor dress, though she was forwarding her mother's departure by filling the saddlebags with provisions for the way, and laying strict injunctions upon the trusty old servants who were about to travel with her to give every care to their mistress, and avoid so far as was possible any place where there was likelihood of catching the contagion.
Without any college education, and with no pretentions as a scholar, he was far from being deficient in education. The preacher with his saddlebags quickly learned the value of time, as he travelled incessantly, and preached every day, and we are not surprised to learn, that he formed habits of study similar to those of the circuit riders of old England.

He fumbled in the right-hand flap of his saddlebags and brought out a toy drum, round and smooth, with shiny yellow sides.
Lewis very hurriedly put his title papers in his saddlebags, mounted his pony and galloped down the road, and, as Bob says, the old pioneer snapped his gun twice at him before he could turn the corner. Lewis said that he had never been back to disturb that man's title since. 'Now, said Mr.

Let me see your casket. Where is it?" "It is in one of the saddlebags," Dick said. "They are in my room," Rajbullub corrected. "Surajah brought them up at once."
I have a pony too. We will fill up our saddlebags and cook our own dinner. I know a nice little place over toward Blue Lead." "I've one suggestion to add," put in Bennington, "and that is, that we go to-morrow." She looked a trifle doubtful. "I don't know. Aren't we seeing a good deal of each other?"
