After letting contracts for Milk and Vegetables, Loretta and the other specimens of our Best People zipped over to the Country Club, breaking into silvery Laughter every time the Speedometer made a Face at the Sign-Board which said that the Speed Limit was 12 Miles an Hour.
It helped Dorn to realize that he could accomplish this duty even though he was in a torment. That space before him was empty, but it was charged with current. Wind, shadow, gloom, smoke, electricity, death, spirit whatever that current was, Dorn felt it. He was more afraid of that than the occasional bullets which zipped across. Sometimes shots from his own squad rang out up and down the line.
"And I've not gone to all this work just for myself," he argued in his mind as he zipped up the garment bag. "I'm doing it for the whole family. For I'm not going to hog the candy for myself. Course I may help myself to a piece or two when I get it. No, I'll bring the whole box home and pass it around," he decided generously.
Gus Brannhard was nervous, showing it by being overtalkative, and that worried Jack. He'd stopped twice at mirrors along the hallway to make sure that his gold-threaded gray neckcloth was properly knotted and that his black jacket was zipped up far enough and not too far. There were two men in the Chief Justice's private chambers.
"Have any trouble with the prisoners while I was gone?" asked Frank. "Not much," grinned Billy. "Redbeard tried to get up, but I handed him a clip on the jaw and he sat down again." "Drop!" shouted Bart suddenly. "Those fellows are getting ready to fire." They threw themselves flat on the snow, and a moment later some bullets zipped over them.
"Come on; let's have a look at those fellows who came down on the lift!" There were two dead men in white Independent-Conservative robes and hoods, lying where they had been dragged from the lift platform. Cardon pulled off the hoods and zipped open the white robes.
Then, with a swift sweep, he jerked a gun from its sheath and fired. The bullet zipped through the sage-brush. Flying bits of wood struck Venters, and the hot, stinging pain seemed to lift him in one leap. Like a flash the blue barrel of his rifle gleamed level and he shot once twice. The foremost rustler dropped his weapon and toppled from his saddle, to fall with his foot catching in a stirrup.
They don't even command, really; they just preside over elected command-councils." Finally, they had both of the more or less commanders on screen. Valkanhayn had zipped up his shirt and put on a jacket. Garvan Spasso was a small man, partly bald. His eyes were a shade too close together, and his thin mouth had a bitterly crafty twist.
Otto, as he had agreed to do, was riding at a leisurely pace, when, without the least warning, the sharp crack of a rifle broke the stillness of, the woods on his right, and the bullet zipped so close to his forehead that it literally grazed the skin, leaving a faint mark, which was visible several days afterward. The lad was never so frightened in all his life.
The motor kept up its insistent humming, and there was not a quiver to indicate that a vital part of the monoplane had been injured. "Andy, are you hurt?" he called, after the volley had ceased, the marksmen below having evidently exhausted their ammunition. "Only a scratch," came the reply. "Hardly drew blood. Think a splinter from the wood where a spent bullet zipped past must have hit me.
