The squat puncher came up and looked down angrily at the boy lying on the bunk. "I'll serve notice right now that if you make any breaks I'll fill your carcass full of lead," he growled. The prisoner knew that he was nursing a grudge for the blow that had floored him. Not to be bluffed, Curly came back with a jeer. "Much obliged, my sawed-off and hammered-down friend.
The deepest grief of the Dozen was the plight of the beloved giant, "Sawed-Off." There seemed to be no possible way of getting him to Kingston, much as they thought of his big muscles, and more us they thought of his big heart.
Well, there were a dozen or so fellows standing around, and they all had on some kind of uniforms, with gold badges on their breasts, and in the midst of them was a little, sawed-off fat fellow, not taller than five feet six, but a perfect picture of the cigar advertisements of America for a cigar named after the king.
And now, at the sight of this animal pursuing him relentlessly, as though to claim him for her own, the whole of Elmbrook fair burst into a thunderous roar of laughter. Sawed-Off glanced back to see the cause, just as his horse's head passed the front wheel of his lady's buggy. With a start of chagrin he realized his ignominious position.
And each landed on the other's neck. Now Sawed-Off seized Heady's valise, and Jumbo seized Reddy's, and then they all set off together the reunited Twins, the completed Dozen for the campus. The whole Twelve felt a new delight in the reunion, and realized for the first time how dear the Dozen was.
The teams consisted of five men each. The only Lakerim men on the Kingston team were Tug, the chief, who had been a great runner of 440-yard races, and Sawed-Off, who had won the half-mile event on various field-days. The other three were Stage, Bloss, and MacManus. All of them were stocky runners and inured to hardship.
This report, seemingly authentic and official, served to relax the nerves, and the west-bound driver sang to himself as he guided the four horses forward, while the conductor, a sawed-off gun planted between his knees, nodded drowsily.
Sawed-Off barely escaped falling victim to a double play by beating the fly to first. Again Jumbo labored mightily to advance Sawed-Off, and did indeed get him to second on a well-situated base-hit.
Two guards, armed to the teeth, would be in it, and the door was closed. But the guards had no intention to remain like rats in a trap, while the rest of the train was overpowered and they themselves were blasted into small bits with a small charge of soup. The door jerked open, the barrels of two guns protruded. Andrew, thrilling with horror, recognized one as a sawed-off shotgun.
"I'm not going to say it." "Then good-bye for a little while." Though the muzzles of the sawed-off shotgun stared wickedly at him, Dick Prescott turned on his heel, walking off. "Are you going, now, to tip the officers off that you've seen me?" called Tag. "Yes." Behind Dick, as he kept on his way back toward camp there came a snort of anger. Prescott was not quite as cool as he appeared to be.
