"Once I went hunting, last summer" he began. John glanced at his watch. Ten minutes before the performance would begin; ten long, dragging minutes of Sid's talk about a place of which he knew nothing. Why had he brought his voluble rival along? "hunting for bear," continued the narrator. "Lots of fun, Louise. One of the cowboys took me with him 'way up a mountain.
The little black boy born nearest his birthday was dedicated to be his friend, companion and body servant for life. Phil paused to see the rooster fight. The boys folded their arms and flew at each other sideways, using their elbows as a rooster uses his spurs. Robbie was pressing Sid against the fence of the rose garden. Sid's return blows lacked strength. Robbie stamped his foot angrily.
Manning is a bad rocket and the sooner I get rid of him the better off the Academy and the Polaris unit will be. Now take your twenty-four-hours' leave and report back here ready to work." "Yes, sir," replied Tom. He and Astro saluted and turned to leave the office but were stopped by the sudden appearance of Sid and Kit. Sid's face was aglow. Kit was scowling.
"Sid wants to find out how to tell how far it is from his head to his heels, without having to make the trip when he's tired," said Bob Sharp, who was always poking fun at Sid's long legs.
All he was hearing these days was about spending, not saving it, and Sid's words, as had his lady's, riled him not a little. "I'm going to take her out, too," he shot back. "Won't be a cheap thing like sodas, either. We're going to the theater, we are, and then she'll promise not to speak to you any more. If she won't, I'll punch your face in, first time I catch you."
John suddenly remembered the candy, and reached for his overcoat. "Oh," exclaimed Louise, as the white, pink-stringed box was brought forth. Sid stopped, obviously disconcerted. John unwrapped the dainties and threw the paper on the floor. "Have some?" he asked as he lifted the cover. The lady's lips closed over a chocolate-covered caramel. Sid's did likewise.
Recognizing the truth of Sid's observation, the boys had tacitly consented to postpone all questions respecting Sam's plans and queer manoeuvres until after supper, when there was time for him to talk and for them to listen. Now that the time had come, the long repressed curiosity broke forth in questions. Tommy was the spokesman.
The white shields all smiled their approbation of Sid's ready gallantry. "And this is the garrison-house?" inquired Will Somers. "Yes," replied Mr. Parlin; "we are between its walls, and solid walls, too, they are. See that feller overhead stickin' out from the ceilin'. There is a beam for you, all of oak, too, and it measures eleven inches by thirteen. Now step outside.
"And Sid Wilcox. I wonder what she finds interesting in that that lazy chap?" "A companion that's all," replied her sister. "I think Ida is about as unenergetic a girl as I ever knew." "Funny thing," said Cora, speaking loudly enough to be heard above the noise of the motor, "how she manages to keep going. She rides as often in Sid's car as if well, as if she was his own sister."
Sid's rifle, an' Mr. Jack is tellin' of me how! Lord, I wouldn't of believed it of I wa'n't right here! Won't ma be proud when I write her about it!" "You've got to whistle all the time," Jack continued, breaking in upon these blissful reflections; "if you don't, they won't come." "Oh, I'll whistle," declared Bud, jauntily.
