Somehow even this tramp seemed to understand that Hugh Morgan was the leader among his mates; perhaps it was his expression of firmness that told the story, for there was certainly nothing of the "boss" air about the boy to indicate as much. "I'm all ready, if you are, younkers," the tramp said. "Then we'll be off," remarked Hugh, Putting his words into action.
To-night he seemed much more talkative than usual. "What were all you younkers out o' school so early for, Marty?" he asked. "Ain't been an eperdemic o' smallpox broke out, has there?" "Teachers' meeting," said Marty. "The Superintendent of Schools came over and they say we're going to have fortnightly lectures on Friday afternoons mebbe illustrated ones.
"Stick round here, younkers, along by the 'Lady Jane' and the wharf and the garden beds, and down by the 'Sary Ann' and the boats to the south beach, and you'll be pretty safe. But I'm going to show you a place whar you can't do no monkey shining, for it ain't safe at all."
"Not in the open; but don't furgit what I obsarved to you some time ago that an Injin, when he feels purty sartin of not being found out, ain't to be trusted. Now, younkers, I may be all wrong, but if I am, nothing won't be lost by acting as if I was right; whereas if I'm right and we don't act that way, the mischief will be to pay." "How shall we make sure?"

But Paul, who is now by common consent preached in many places, is consistent with himself, and pierces them in their princely splendor, voluptuous wantonness, and insatiable avarice. Hence they complain. Dear younkers, because you deal thus with facts and Paul teaches the contrary, what shape will you take, if we preach St. Peter?
The boatswain looked down at the youthful visage in some surprise. "Well, I s'pose I am," said he, stroking his beard complacently. "And you know what it is to be misunderstood, misjudged, don't you?" "Well, now I come to think on it, I believe I have had that misfortune 'specially w'en I've ordered the powder-monkeys to make less noise; for them younkers never do seem to understand me.
"He's ten times worse. Whenever he meets the gray wolf he tears him to smithereens. You never seen a wolf of any kind that wasn't as hungry as you younkers was yesterday." "He couldn't be any hungrier," said Fred, with a laugh. "I have knowed one of them critters to foller a steamboat down the upper Missouri fur two days and nights, howling and watching fur a chance to git something to eat."
Lord Monmouth, who liked a butt, and had a weakness for boisterous gaiety, slily encouraged the boys, till Rigby began to lose his temper and get noisy. The lads had the best of it; they said a great many funny things, and delivered themselves of several sharp retorts; whereas there was something ridiculous in Rigby putting forth his 'slashing' talents against such younkers.
Egerton, whom I hate like poison, I have a right to do that, I suppose, without offence to your Lordship, and the two younkers, Leonard Fairfield and Randal Leslie, shall be members for the free and independent borough of Lansmere!" "But does Leonard wish to come into parliament?" "No, he says not; but that's nonsense.
The movement of the beard under the broad sombrero showed that the guide was smiling, and doubtless he was as pleased as the boys over the meeting. He advanced with the same lengthy step and extended his hand with his hearty "Howdy?" to each in turn. "Glad to see you, younkers; you seem to have got along as well without me as if I'd been with you."
