I've been looking everywhere for you." "Why, nowhere especial," says he carelesslike. "I was just over on the dock doing some roping stunts with Curly." "I suppose you mean that red-headed, pigeon-toed brute that hangs around the Wrights' place," says she. Say, when she said that I half riz up, for I shore was mad. I may be the way she said, but I don't allow no one else to say so.
I wouldn't do stunts like that, if I never you will look out, won't you?" Aunt is so funny, not to have guessed who wrote the Star article. But she never saw it. Her precautions had all been taken at John's officious suggestion over the telephone. Busybody! An interview is nothing so terrible.
Conny complained. "You do come in, you know!" Cairy brought his chair and placed himself near the fire; then leaned forward, looking intently into the woman's eyes. "I think sometimes the women must be right about you, you know." "What do they say?" ... "That you are a calculating machine, one of those things they have in banks to do arithmetic stunts!" "No, you don't, ... silly!
"If tobacco stunts your growth, how's it come 'at old Tank Williams an' George Hendricks an' Happy an' a lot more o' the boys is all over six feet tall," she sez one day durin' a try-out, "while Flap Jack is the smallest man on the place an' he don't never use it at all 'cept when he cuts his finger." "Things don't allus work alike," sez Jabez, slow an' cautious.
There was no more foot-hold on it; the tide had come up and submerged it. Harold the Broomstick was crippled, he stumbled as he flew, sometimes he dropped a score of feet, and span. He did stunts by mistake. They had not strength enough between them to get home. They made a forced landing in the silver loneliness of Kensington Gardens. It was a fortunate place, for there is much magic there.
Then he told how he stood in the ring, and watched the boys and girls, and the men and women, come in to look at the animals before they went in the main tent, to sit down and watch the performers and animals do their tricks and "stunts." Boys and girls, and some grown-folk, too, gave the elephants peanuts and bits of popcorn balls which the big fellows liked very much, indeed.
"I'm getting tired of this!" "What's the matter?" cried Dick, hastening from the tent where he had been making a new loop on his lariat, in preparation for practicing some of the stunts worked by Four Eyes. "Have you discovered something from the tower?" asked Nort. "Yes, I've discovered that the tower isn't any good!" exclaimed Bud with emphasis.
As the evening progressed the attitude of each toward the other and all toward anyone became more and more familiar. When the courses were over, a space was cleared at one end and a screen of green cloth rigged up in one corner as a dressing room for stunts.
Any exhibition work, you give me half, because it'll really be me that's pulling off the stunts. The public needn't be wise to that. You as Skyrider Johnny, see. I'm just anybody, for the present." "Why all this modesty to-day? When you first wanted to go in with me, I couldn't call you no violet, Bland. You said then that your name was worth a lot." Bland's loose lips parted in a crafty grin.
It was this way with Miss Nestor. Now, indeed, could Tom demonstrate to her some of the fine points of navigation in the upper currents, and though he did no risky "stunts," he showed the girl what it means to do an ascending spiral, how to cut corners, how to twist around in the figure eight, and do other things.
