Bellamy gave a sharp, shrill whistle. Footsteps came pounding across the open, and three armed men showed at the door. "Darn my skin if the old son of a gun hasn't hogged all the glory!" Bob Farnum complained joyfully.
"To give you a root idea, however, it is held in the Sigsand MS. that a child 'stillborn' is 'Snatyched back bye thee Haggs. This is crude; but may yet contain an elemental truth. Yet, before I make this clearer, let me tell you a thought that has often been made.
