"I can get all the roar and rush of wind I want in front of an electric fan, and no danger." He stood by, looking out over the oval track while I took three cinders from Tish's eye. "Great track!" he said. "It's a horse-track, of course, but it's in bully shape the county fair is held there and these fellows make a big feature of their horse-races.
We immediately retreated to the cave and waited, it being Tish's intention to allow them to reach the pass without suspecting our presence, and only to cut off the pseudo-bandits in their retreat, as I have explained. It was well that we had concealed the horses also, for the party stopped near the cave, and Mrs. Ostermaier was weeping. "Not a step farther!" she said.
The girl came; I didn't steal her." Charlie Sands, I remember, interrupted at that moment to remind her that she had shot a hole in the detective's canoe; but this only irritated her. "Certainly I did," she snapped; "but it's perfectly idiotic of him to say that it took off the heel of his shoe. In that stony country it's always easy to lose a heel." But to return to Tish's story:
Charlie Sands, Tish's nephew, went over to England in June to report the visit of the French President to London for his newspaper, and Tish's automobile had been sent to the factory to be gone over.
He climbed up after it, taking Tish's pole with him to dislodge it, and it was at that moment that a man rode into the clearing and practically fell off his horse. He was dirty and scratched with brambles, and his once immaculate riding-clothes were torn. He was about to take off his hat when he got a good look at us and changed his mind. "Have you got anything to eat?" he asked.
And we fastened it obliquely over the river, like the one on the other side. Tish's change of heart, which occurred the next morning, was due to a most unfortunate accident that happened to her at nine o'clock. Hutchins, who could swim like a duck, was teaching Tish to swim, and she was learning nicely.
It was too late to put up the tepee, so we found a clearing near the path and decided to spend the night there. Aggie still watched the bushes and wanted to spend the night in a tree; but Tish's calmness was a reproach to us both, and after we had emptied the kettle and made quite a fire to keep off animals, we unrolled our blankets and prepared for sleep.
We had one suitcase containing our blankets, sandals, short dresses, soap, hairpins, salt-box, knives, scissors, and a compass, and the leather thongs for rabbit snares that we had had cut at a harness shop. In the other suitcase was the tepee. We ate a substantial breakfast at Tish's suggestion, because we expected to be fairly busy the first day, and there would be no time for hunting.
When she's not doing that she can wash dishes." Considering that it was she who had started the whole thing, and got Tish's subconscious mind to working, Aggie was rather pettish. "Huh!" she said. "I can't swim, and you know it, Tish. Those canoe things turn over if you so much as sneeze in them." "You'll not sneeze," said Tish. "The Northern Lights fill the air with ozone."
I've just exchanged a few words with him. He was not much hurt, although unconscious for a short time. His name is Bell James C. Bell." Soon after that Tish brought him to us, and we had a nice talk. He said he had not been badly hurt on the ice, although he got a cut on the forehead from Tish's skate, requiring two stitches.
