There was a jam of people; but this girl I've understood it was she looked as much alone as if there were nobody else there. She might have been a startled doe in the North Woods suddenly coming out on a twenty-thousand-dollar camp, with a lot of twenty-million-dollar people on the veranda." "And you wanted to do her as The Startled Doe," I said. "Good selling name."

None had seen him, however, and Garvey went on to tell what had happened. "How many men did he take with him?" Stephenson wanted to know. "About a dozen." "Bear Claw will wipe him out, then," grinned Al Arnold. "Somehow I don't think so," said Garvey. "And if that stage deal fails us " "A twenty-thousand-dollar job!" Shank barked angrily. "And we get half!" "We get all," chuckled Garvey.
James seized his hat and fled precipitately, leaving Jamie glowering at the grate. On his way up the street he met his father, and took him into the old Ship tavern to have a glass of flip; and then he told the story. Mr. Bowdoin took his hat off to rub his forehead with his old bandanna, thereby setting fluttering a pair of twenty-thousand-dollar notes he had just discounted. "Dear me!
Do you suppose I'd buy a twenty-thousand-dollar painting and hang it up in the cellar? No, sir; I mean to make something out of that boy better than his father is, and that isn't the place to do it. But in the diplomatic service they're all gentlemen that's why I want to put him there." "And if you can't have your own way you prefer to lose the boy altogether?"
What had been the twenty-thousand-dollar mistress' name; not Van impossible! But the more he told himself "impossible", the more positive grew a certain perverse inner asseveration that it was quite possible. And what if the person in the park had known it?
For the big biplane that Grit had first spied, could be none other than one of those engaged in a try for the twenty-thousand-dollar prize. They were now nearing the Rockies, and it was not likely that any lone aviator would be flying in that locality unless he were after the government money. "Another airship; eh?" cried Dick. "Let me get a look at her! Someone take the wheel, please."
"I've never seen any one quite so grand top hat, latest style, long coat ditto, white buckskin waistcoat, twenty-thousand-dollar pearl in pale blue scarf, white spats, spotless varnish boots just from the varnishers, cream-colored gloves. You will make a hit! My eye, I'll bet she won't be able to resist you." I began to shed my plumage.
"Suppose I call your bluff and ask you to come to India with me?" "Shall I?" He shrugged his shoulders. "We can get married in Callao." "What sort of life can you offer me? I don't mean that unkindly, but seriously; what would become of me if the people who want that twenty-thousand-dollar reward ever catch up with you?" "I thought you weren't afraid."
Thus did Dick Hamilton's chums offer him their congratulations as they started off on the trip they hoped would bring to the young millionaire the twenty-thousand-dollar prize, and, not only do that but establish a new record in airship flights, and also give to the world the benefit of the experience in building such a unique craft.
