"He ain't a man, he's a boy; young Will Barnes," amended the coroner. "Most people think he's just a lazy, no-account young feller, but I've always said he was growin'. Goes fishin' a good deal, of course, but There he goes, now!" He ran to the door, through the glass of which he had seen a tall, lanky youth across the way. "Hi, Will!" he yelled, "come over, the New York man is waiting!"
He obviously felt this himself; for starting up from the bench to which he had returned, he cried out, or rather yelled "Citizens, this man thirsts for my blood. Am I to be sacrificed? Am I to be exposed to the daggers of assassins!" But no answering shout now arose; a dead silence reigned: all eyes were still turned on the tribune.
Smathers and Petrie lifted up their voices in one despairing howl. "When you what?" fairly yelled Smathers. "You fool! You don't mean to tell me that you let them take you in like that those two? You don't mean to tell me that you had him had him in your hands and then let him go? You did? Oh! you seventy-seven kinds of a double-barrelled ass! Had him think of it! had him, and let him go!
"She says she won't hurt ye, Kit," the child screamed. "She dassent," yelled back Kitty, the valiant. "She knows I'd peach on her about the kid." "Kid! What kid?" I cried, all a-fire. "The kid ye swiped this mornin'. Yah! I told the cop what brought her back how ye took her jest as I " "Kitty!" I cried. "You treasure!" And with all my might I ran after her. Silly? Of course it was.
The boys came to heder before nine in the morning, and remained until eight or nine in the evening. Stupid pupils, who could not remember the lesson, sometimes had to stay till ten. There was an hour for dinner and play at noon. Good little boys played quietly in their places, but most of the boys ran out of the house and jumped and yelled and quarrelled.
A ladies' race was included in the Programme for our benefit. It was one of the last events, and until it came off we amused ourselves riding available mules, much to the delight of the Tommies, who cheered and yelled and did their best to get them to "take off!" They were hard and bony and had mouths like old sea boots, but it was better than toiling in the deep sand.
Captain Scraggs helped himself to a loose spear, and side by side they raced through the jungle for the beach. As they tore along through the jungle path Mr. "There's the king and Tabu-Tabu," yelled Scraggs. "Let's round the beggars up." "Sure," responded the commodore. "We'll need 'em for hostages if we're to get that black coral. We'll turn 'em over to McGuffey."
I protest against this insanity. No boat can live in this sea. No help can be given that steamer." "And I bear witness to the protest," said the tall man. The short, hairy man might have spoken also, but had no time. "Get off the poop," yelled Seldom. "Go forrard, where you belong." He stood close to the bucket-rack around the skylight.
We saw where Ranger had slipped over a twenty-foot wall. If he had gone over just under the cedar where the depth was much greater he would never have come back. "The hounds are choking with dust and heat," I said. When I poured just a little water from my canteen into the crown of my hat, the hounds began fighting around and over me and spilled the water. "Behave, you coyotes!" I yelled.
Four men met us, stared suspiciously, thought we were deaf, and yelled that the place was twenty li away, and that we had better return to the brow of the hill. But we left them, and went still farther down. In the hush that prevailed I was unaccountably startled to see the form of a woman gliding towards me in the twilight. She came out of the valley carrying firewood.
