He remembered rushing with Harry down a dark alleyway, with cutlass in hand, and also that a man had suddenly sprung at him and cut him down; that he had received so violent a blow on his head that he had felt certain his skull was cloven asunder; and then his memory ceased abruptly. But where was Harry, his inseparable companion?
"The alleyway footprints are not identical with the soles of Kittredge's boots." "But you said they were, the experts said they were."
'Yes, of course! I answered, rashly, and he promptly lay down again and declined to move. I was in a hole, but not downhearted. I couldn't turn in unless he turned out, you know. I walked along the alleyway with a crazy idea of calling the Chief half formed in my mind. But that seemed to clash with the school-boy code that forbids sneaking. Poor old chap! I thought.
The second-class bar was farther down the alleyway, and Dick, indicating it, turned back and made his way to the poop as fast as he could, for he did not think the man was as drunk as he looked. He found the musicians collecting their stands, and went up to the bandmaster. "There's one of your men below who has been drinking too much caña," he said. "You had better look after him."
The sense of power that had come to him during the hour in the darkness in the alleyway remained with him and he talked boldly, swaggering along and swinging his arms about. He wanted to make Belle Carpenter realize that he was aware of his former weakness and that he had changed. "You'll find me different," he declared, thrusting his hands into his pockets and looking boldly into her eyes.
On April 30 the reward of food was given only when the first choice was that of the right box and in that event it was placed in the alleyway H as stated above.
More than once she had witnessed quarrels in the alleyway behind the Circuit, where pestiferous youths of Wharton's caliber were frequent visitors. But Mr. "I'm glad you did. I left him asleep outside my dressing-room last night, and I almost hoped he'd caught pneumonia." Beside the curb a heavy touring-car was purring, and into this Merkle helped his companion.
Meanwhile, before an alleyway across the street and further down the long block the express wagon had stopped. The driver and his helper clambered out and for a moment stood talking in low tones, with covert glances at our apartment. They moved into the alley and the driver drew out a battered pair of opera glasses, levelling them at our windows.
The marshal's eyes followed him solicitously until he disappeared within; then he slipped back into the alleyway, skirting the side of the building, until he reached a window near the rear. Westcott closed the door behind him and took a swift view of the barroom.
It was Dave Darrin's voice that rang out, as that young man came rushing down the street behind Prescott. Dick in another second was on his feet, crouching low, and running full tilt into the alleyway. It was Dick's way -to run at danger, instead of away from it. At his first bound into the alley, Prescott dimly made out some fellow running at the further end.
