The chief led the party due southwest from Swanson's ranche, and all day long the sturdy ponies were kept at the long, swinging lope which enables them to cover miles during a day. Late in the afternoon the chief, raising in his stirrups, gave a peculiar, vibrating yell, which was immediately taken up by his followers until the welkin rang with the penetrating sounds.
His men had rushed to the pony herd at the first alarm, only to find a stampede had loosened all the horses, and they were helpless to pursue the robbers. Swanson's rage, when he fully realized that he had been robbed, was something terrible.
Moriarity, for such it was, immediately drew up his horse and the three friends were soon shaking hands. "The fly-cops made it too hot for me, boys," said Dan. "I came within an ace of being caught. One of the beaks had his hands on me, but I knocked him down and lit out." "Where are you bound for now?" asked Cummings. "Down to Swanson's ranche." "We were heading the same way," said Cummings.
It was perched right there on his knee a awful, horrid, bluggy head with its moustache twisted up like Swanson's on Sunday. It Oh, Lordy!" Mr. Bingle entered the nursery. The children stared at him as if at the long-expected ghost, open-mouthed and wide-eyed.

"A matter of twenty-five miles, as the crow flies." "How far by the trail?" "Well, Cap'n," responded Brodey, reflectively, as he threw his knee over the pommel of his saddle, "lemme see.
A multitude of yells rent the air, and Swanson, turning his horse again fled before the avenging Cherokees, but a hissing whistling sound was heard, a long, writhing lariat shot out, and the noose, falling over Swanson's shoulders, drew together with the run, and, lifted completely from the saddle, Swanson was thrown senseless to the ground.
What wud the loikes of ye work for Misther Hicks for?" Swanson's impassive face remained imperturbable; he stroked the moustaches dangling over the corners of his dejected mouth. "Two tollar saxty cint." Mike glared at him, and then at the girl, his own lips puckering. "Bedad, Oi belave the poor cr'ater do n't know anny betther.
Heah now, I'se Massa Swanson," and Scip imitated Swanson's gait, "I'se playin' poker wid you gemmen. I'se out o' cash; Massa Cummins thar, he got a king full, and lay ovah my bob-tail flush, I say, 'Hole on thar, Massa Cummins, I'se got to unlock de combinashun of my safe.
