Shall I tell her this wilt-thou date is postponed to " "Bah!" says Clyde, bangin' the taxi door shut and signalin' the chauffeur to get under way. I think I saw him shakin' his fist back at me as he drives off. So rough of him! Upstairs I finds Auntie all in a flutter and tryin' to hide it. Vee looks at me inquirin' and anxious, but I chats on for a while just as if nothing had happened.
Toward the close of the fourth day they saw from a distance a figure approaching them, who seemed desirous of attracting their attention. Ben was the first to see him. "Jake," said he, "look yonder!" "It's a Chinee!" said Bradley, in surprise. "How did the critter come here, in the name of wonder?" "I suppose he is looking for gold as well as we." "The heathen seems to be signalin' us.
She paused again for a moment, then resumed: "There isn't much use our goin' over it all, but I want you to know one thing. Your little friend Cooley made it rather clear that he accused Helene and me of signalin'. Well, I didn't. Perhaps that's the reason you didn't lose as much as he did; I can't say. And one thing more: all this isn't goin' to do you any harm.
"Amos," he called to another, "you've been in the ingine-room, you say. Is her ingine bus' down?" "Dunno," answered Amos. "Steam's all right; see the jet comin' out o' the stack? There! she's turnin' over kickin' ahead. 'Bout time if she wants to clear us. She's signalin'. What's that say, Elisha?"
It is impossible to tell how near Indians may be, or when they will attack us. Travellers on the plains should be prepared for any emergency." "True as preachin'," interrupted old Jerry. "They ain't so very fur off, either. I've seen 'em signalin' all the afternoon, and signalin' allers means bizness with them red varmints. If we don't see 'em to-night, we shall afore a great while, and I think "
"Yes, I can read that," Tom growled, still drifting with the current. "That ere redskin is signalin' to some other scamp, and it's all about me. It says that I'm on the river somewhere, and a lookout must be kept for me." Such was the fact.
When Ned finished the Ring Tailed Panther roared in his accustomed fashion. "Signalin' to the enemy from a tree top while we was asleep an' he was supposed to be on guard!" he exclaimed. "What have you got to say to this, Urrea?" "Our young paragon of knowledge and wilderness lore has given you my statement," replied Urrea. "You can believe it or not as you choose.
Far to the left some antelope were feeding, but there was no other sign of life of any kind. "I don't see anything of them friends of ours to whom you were signalin'," said the Ring Tailed Panther. Urrea would not reply. The Panther said nothing further, and they rode on over the prairie.
"Who is that little lot?" Clearly, he meant the big man and his diminutive companion. Farrow coughed importantly. "That's Scotland Yard," he said. "Who?" "Detectives from the Yard. Mr. Hilton telephoned for 'em. An' wot's more, they're signalin' to us." "They want us to go back," said Bates. "Mebbe." "There can't be any doubt about it."
The gloom of the station, and the fact that the man's face was in shadow, made him doubtful, but as the train gathered speed, the watcher on the platform nodded to him and smiled derisively. Captain Stump had quick eyes. He turned to Royson. "Beg pardon, mister, but is that a friend of yours?" he asked. "No," said Dick. "Well, he was signalin' somebody, an' it wasn't me."
