My father had little difficulty in swarming the sucker till he reached the bough on to which the flax was tied, and soon found himself hauling up something from the bottom of the tree.
"Are all safe out of the house?" anxiously inquired the professor. "Every soul!" was the satisfactory answer. At this moment Ishmael came running up with the hose, exclaiming: "Here, professor! if you will take this end, I will run and put the sucker to the spout of the pump." "Good fellow, be off then!" answered Morris. The hose was soon adjusted and played into the burning room.
This time he dashed the note to the floor and grew purple with rage. "Why," he choked, "that sucker must mean it the winder sample." Again Morris nodded solemnly. "But a ten-year-old child could tell that them garments ain't like that winder sample, Mawruss," Abe went on. "Sure I know," Morris replied sadly, "and a district court judge could tell it, too.
He had observed Hargus sitting by the other side of the desk, still fumbling and mumbling in his dirty memoranda, but he gave no sign of recognition. There was a moment's silence, then in a voice from which all the first bluffness was studiously excluded, Scannel said: "Well, you've rung the bell on me. I'm a sucker. I know it.
With military precision they repaired to the Brewster House, and ahead of then a banner was flung: "Winnebago County for the Tall Sucker." And the Tall Sucker was on the steps to receive them.

"I suppose it was because the drummer put you wise that you went to Miss Strange and not her brother? No doubt you tried to interest other people first. Still, as she promised you nothing, I don't see why you came here." "Stormont played me for a sucker; found out all I knew and turned me down!" Drummond answered with a savage sparkle in his eyes.
The species differ greatly from ours, with the exception of the perch, the eel, the pike, and the sucker, in which only a practiced eye could detect the difference; all the rest belong to genera unknown in Europe, or, at least, in Switzerland. . . I was fortunate enough to procure also, in the few days of my stay, all the species taken in the lakes and rivers around Albany.
"If I press either the button or the trigger it will mean the end of you, you dogs. Now, listen to me. At the foot of the stairs are two policemen and a couple of detectives. They were duped into coming here by the word that a sucker was to be fleeced in Broadso's rooms to- night. All I have to do is to press the button and call for help.
