Shann readied the first sopping mess in his sling, snapped his fire sparker at it, and had the ball awhirl for a toss almost in one continuous movement. The moss burst into fire as it curved out and fell. To a witness it might have seemed that the missile materialized out of the air, the effect being better than Shann had hoped. A second ball for the sling spark ... out ... down.
Tubbs's sordid greed for gold, his disloyalty to the expedition, his coldness to herself; she had been shaken by the tender stress of the reconciliation, had been captured by pirates, and now suffered the supreme blow of this final revelation of the treachery of Tubbs. To hear her romance described as the sparking of an old maid and by the sparker!
"I am the best little sparker that ever sent an S. O. S. over the blue between drinks of salt water, while swimming on my back around the wireless room chased by a man-eating shark. And as for a catcher, why, my boy, I can receive while eating a piece of toast." "All right," said Edestone with a laugh; "as your references from your last place are so good you shall have the job.
"You can, in a day or so, but just now I need a certain part to attach to the sparker, and I had to send to town for it. Koku has gone after it." "What, that big giant servant? He might break it on the way back, he's so strong. He doesn't realize how much muscle he has." "No, that's so. Well, while we're waiting for him, come on in the house, and I'll show you some new books I got."
"Sparker said you might be home for lunch and again you might not. Please may I graft a meal?" "Of course," said Barbara, "but unless somebody else drops out of the skies we'll be all alone." "Your father off on a case?" "Yes," said Barbara, as they went in, "he is operating, but in Wall Street. And what's the best news with you?" "That spring's come and summer's coming.
A merry party returning home in the wee hours paused and watched it curiously but it spoke to them not. At Knapp's Crossroads they saw it, just as the harvest festival was breaking up, and Hank Sparker and Sophia Coyson lingered on their way home to watch it. But it spoke not their language. Did it speak to any one, this voice calling in the dark? Did any one understand it?
The young millionaire pulled open the gasolene throttle to the full limit and set the sparker to contact at the best advantage. The result was at once apparent. The aircraft shot ahead in a wonderful fashion. The others evidently put on full speed, for they, also, made a little spurt. Then it was "all over but the shouting," as Larry said. Dick's machine swept on and soon distanced the others.
Have you ever heard of that Sparker affair?" "You don't mean to say " "Yes. That was me. That was my little contribution to the gaiety of University life. So you see I am in the position to give advice to people like yourself. I think you should cultivate the function of the real, and try to remain in contact with phenomena. Noumena are bad for a youngster.
I met some stock men, and one of them offered me a job, and I came out and got in with them. Then I got hold of a bit of land and began gathering up stock for myself. I stayed with the Sparker outfit six years, and then my father died. I took the money and got my start, and why, that is all." He stopped in astonishment. He had been sure his story would last several hours.
Soon the explosions became irregular, and we found the cams operating the sparker literally plastered over with mud, so that the parts that should slide and work with great smoothness and rapidity would not operate at all. This happened about every four or five miles.
