If you had been in Huck's place you'd 'a' sneaked down the hill and never told anybody on the robbers. You can't do any but mean things, and you can't bear to see anybody praised for doing good ones. There no thanks, as the widow says" and Tom cuffed Sid's ears and helped him to the door with several kicks. "Now go and tell auntie if you dare and to-morrow you'll catch it!"
"Well, you're not going away mad, are you?" asked Ed with a laugh, wondering the while over the identity of the striking-looking girl whom Sid so obviously refrained from introducing to him. "Oh, not's so's you could notice it," was Sid's answer as he began to tuck the dust robe over Ida's lap.
"You must not do anything rash. Better let me have my little ride with you, and incidentally get ahead of my conceited rival, Paul Hastings. He may ride back in the car he is to drive across country, for he has probably done me out of that place. It will be a good chance for him to practice." Sid's audacity was positively startling. Perhaps it would be best to let him have his own way.
"Theater!" said Sid, so impressed that the concluding threat passed unheeded. "Going to buy the tickets, this afternoon," John boasted. "Main floor seats at the 'Home' seventy-five cents each! Don't you wish you were going?" Sid's skates slipped from his shoulder into the snow. He picked them up and looked at John uncertainly. "That'll cost a lot of money, won't it?" he asked.
Silvey and Perry sauntered up. "'Lo!" came the inevitable greeting. "'Lo!" came the inevitable reply. "What did you get for Christmas?" asked Perry. John allied himself instantly with Sid in the effort to outboast the new arrivals. "Sid's got a sure enough gun," he said impressively. "Bigger'n I am." "And John's got an electric motor," chimed in Sid as John finished.
Cora turned and shook her head significantly when the third car had forged ahead. She, too, seemed surprised that Ida Giles should be riding with Sid Wilcox. Then Bess rolled up alongside the Whirlwiind. "My, but they are going!" she called to Cora. "I thought Ida said she would never ride with Sid again." "Why not?" flashed Cora merrily. "Isn't Sid's car new and yellow?"

As he opened the envelope, a gaudy caricature of a gentleman with reddened nose, paste-diamond pin, and flowered vest met his eyes. Underneath was a bit of doggerel elaborating certain traits ascribed to "The Rounder." He twisted suddenly in his seat and surprised a smile of exultation on Sid's face. Just wait until school was over. He'd fix him for that.
The race was to end at a bridge, which was only a few rods ahead. "Careful," cautioned Walter to the fair driver beside him. She was making some rather reckless curves. "I'm all right," declared Cora. "I'm sure we'll win," exclaimed Mary. The Whirlwind was now close to Sid's car. He heard it coming and looked around. Then he caught the steering wheel from Ida, leaning over to reach it.
"An' is we gwine to somewher's or somewher's else?" demanded black Joe, with a grin. "One question at a time," said Sam, "and they will go a good deal farther." "Well, begin with Sid's question, then?" said Tommy. "His is the most sensible; where are we?" "We're on an island," returned Sam, "and the island is somewhere here in the upper part of Escambia bay. You see how it lies on our map.
