I'll be right back with you. You'll wait for me, surely, won't you?" "Oh, sure!" chorused both sailors. Then, as Jack Benson scurried down the street, the two supposed sailors turned to each other, chuckling softly. "Sure we'll waits" repeated one of the pair. It was several minutes ere Jack returned, coming up almost breathlessly. "Sorry to keep you waiting, boys," he spoke, hastily.
The Head of the House eyed him sharply. "Kinloch?" No answer. "Kinloch?" Scaife answered dryly: "Kinloch's portmanteau has come." Then Dumbleton said in his smooth, bland voice, "His lordship is in the drawing-room with Mr. Rutford." The boys exchanged knowing glances. Scaife looked contemptuous. The next moment the last name had been called, and the boys scurried into the passages.
The moon rose big and red over their backs, the wolves stopped howling and scurried to one side the ceaseless thud of the falling hoofs continued monotonously, broken only by the crack of a lash across a horse's flank. At midnight the faithful twenty men were still seated in a row around Iron Horn while the horses, too tired to eat, hung their heads.
He passed the sheepfold, and the sheep scurried, with a drumming flutter, at his late footsteps, warming his heart by the homely sound. He crept without noise into his little room and lay there, thankful that his feet had escaped the distress of new roads that night. How well he knew woman's heart!

A banana and some sugar repaid the monkey for the experiment and after he was free, he followed the travelers, chattering and begging for sweets. When they came to Isabella, capital of Basilan Island, Piang scurried off in search of the sultan. The men amused themselves watching the excitement they created. An American soldier is a wonderful and dreadful thing to these wild folk.

God bless you!" She stood for a moment on the top step to taste the air that was filled with the essence of youth. Across a sky as clear as crystal a series of young clouds were chasing each other, putting out the stars for a moment as they scurried playfully along. It was a joy to be alive and fit and careless.
The gunman, hit in the wrist of the right hand, gave a grunt and took shelter back of the bar. The bystanders scurried for safety while explosion followed explosion. Young Clanton, light-footed as a cat, side-stepped and danced about as he fired. The first shot of the red-headed man had hit him and the shock of it interfered with his accuracy.
Express and dray horses, the very ones that had once scurried into side streets at sound of his hoofs, now insolently crowded him to the curb. When he had been on the truck Silver had yielded the right of way to none, he had held his head high; now he dodged and waited, he wore a blind bridle, and he wished neither to see nor to be seen.
