"But I figgered it would be better to look up this young man's friends and let them do the rescuin', and not lose no time, 'specially as it's about as far from my place to the factory as it is to Shopton." "Well, I suppose that's so," agreed Ned. "But what is this factory?" "It's an old one where they started to make beet sugar, but it didn't pan out," the farmer said.
"I'm glad she's so charming. That excuses any indiscretion," the girl said with a gleam of friendly malice. "There's no fun in rescuing the plain ones, is there?" "They don't most usually need so much rescuin'," Clay admitted. "Don't you think it possible that you rescued her out of a job?" The young man nodded his head ruefully. "That's exactly what I did.
Say! dat's swell, all right. I'd like to see dat, I would!" He took off his cap, and from the top extracted a telegram and a receipt sheet. "I'm Joe Strong," said our hero quietly. "G'wan!" answered the messenger. "Why, he must be a big guy to do all de bills says he does rescuin' a diver an' all dat! G'wan!"
"Them camera supports is named for it, you know. But of course this gay gink of a Sandy had to come buttin' in. Too bad the Honorable Bertie had partook so free. He'd have looked the part all right when it come to rescuin' beauty in distress. But Fortune bein' a lady and naturally capricious, she hands the stunt over to old Sobersides here." Just then old Sobersides cut across the flow of Mr.
"Now look here, Bud," sez I, "them three dollars look mighty enticin' to me, an' I ain't no objection to rescuin' the maidens; but I move we cut out the steel armor an' the spears. If the' 's any great amount o' maidens in need o' rescuin', I could do the job a heap quicker with my six-shooters." "Oh, I don't mean to be a real knight," sez he. "I want you to advertise tobacco."
"He don't look z'if he needs much rescuin'," remarked Moses with a chuckle, as they drew to land. The man looked in truth as if he were well able to take care of himself in most circumstances, being of colossal bulk although somewhat short of limb.
It's no easy job swimmin' with such an outfit, to say nothin' of rescuin' two half-drowned youngsters, and I don't know how he did it, and I don't reckon you do either, Jack. But anyhow, he got to them, paddled along to the edge of the ice, and held on to them until the other boys pushed out boards and finally got the whole caboodle of 'em up on solid ice."
So us rescuin' parties an' the Bryan Station fo'ces, afteh a night consultation, set out et daybreak nex' mawnin' to folleh up an' punish. We thought ef we hurried we could soon ketch up with the enemy; so we didn't wait, as some o' the oldeh men advised, fur the reinfo'cements whut Gen'ral Logan hed already started."
"Speciments travel around most anywheres," he reflected. "This here's a swell head with a grouch. I reckon he ain't a serious friend of hers, or she wouldn't have stood for me rescuin' her when he offered himself that generous." The recollection convulsed him, and he bowed his head over the pony's neck to hide the laugh.
