The Red Cross station to which we reported, Poste de Secours des Marins, was conducted by Monsieur le Docteur Rolland, and Monsieur Le Doze. Our workers were standing guests at their officers' mess. The little sawed-off sailor in the Villa Marie where I was billetted made coffee for two of us each morning. Our friends have the faults of young men, flushed with life.
The third Charlestonian caught the first ball pitched by Reddy, and sent it bounding toward Jumbo, who ripped it off the ground and had it in the hands of his chum Sawed-Off before the Charlestonian was half-way to first base. This retired the side, and the Kingstonians came in to bat amid a pleasant April shower of applause.
Wherever the Japs won a victory John Byrnes would shift his pins, and then he would execute a war dance of delight, and the other firemen would hear him yell: "Go it, you blamed little, sawed-off, huckleberry-eyed, monkey-faced hot tamales! Eat 'em up, you little sleight-o'-hand, bow-legged bull terriers give 'em another of them Yalu looloos, and you'll eat rice in St. Petersburg.
There was a little pause while Jumbo helped the lubberly Sawed-Off through the strands that had laid hold of his big frame like fish-hooks. B.J. took this chance to vouchsafe his followers just one bit of information. "They're at Roden's Knoll," he puffed.
The Lakerimmers had thus managed quietly to ensconce themselves, all except Sawed-Off, in one building; and it was just as well, perhaps, that they did so establish themselves in a stronghold of their own, for they clung together so steadfastly that there was soon a deal of jealousy among the other students toward them, and all the factions combined together to try to keep the Lakerimmers from cabbaging any of the good things of academy life.
The Lakerimmers were inclined to laugh at History for his fears, but Tug told them that if it had not been for his seizing the red-hot pokers there would have been a different story to tell; so they hugged him instead of laughing at him, and Sawed-Off clapped him on the back such a vigorous thump that History thought the hazers had hold of him again.
He was swinging his feet, and singing, in a high, quavering voice, his favorite song, "The March o' the Cameron Men." When Sawed-Off Wilmott started a cheese factory down on the Lake Simcoe road each of his patrons had built, just at the gate, a small platform, called a milkstand, from which the cans were collected.
"Well, yes, as you might say," the witness answered uneasily. "Carried a six-shooter for rattlesnakes, didn't you?" "I reckon, but I never went hellin' around with it." "Wore it to town with you when you went, I expect, as the other boys did." "Mebbeso." "What caliber was it?" "A .38, sawed-off." "Own it now?" The witness mopped his fat face. "No, sir." "Don't carry a gun in town?" "No, sir."
A red-hot flame burned its way through his chest. He knew he was mortally wounded. Hal Rutherford plunged at him, screaming an oath. "We've got him, boys." Beaudry stumbled back against the manger, the arms of his foe clinging to him like ropes of steel. Twice he brought down the butt of his sawed-off gun on the black head of Rutherford.
"He's a sawed-off specimen with a face like a peachstone; but he said if he put down his regular name, the boys likely would miss his trail." "Mrs. Annabel Green Banks Hesperides Vale," read Jimmie. "Lucky Banks Iditarod and Hesperides Vale. "This looks like my man, sure; but who is Mrs. Green-Banks? His wife or mother?" "Bride," the clerk replied laconically. "It's a sort of overdue honeymoon.
