Frank and Harry crowded to his side and looked up. "It is the Nelson!" Harry exclaimed. "You bet it is!" Frank admitted. "Good old Ned!" Jack roared. The aeroplane was only a few yards above the Black Bear. Already the natives were slinking away in their canoes. Those on the banks were slowly withdrawing into the shelter of the forests. "They're running away!" Jack cried.
More than that, I've heard strange noises at night, and seen strange faces in the alley over yer. And only jist now ez I kem in I ketched sight of a furrin lookin' Chinee nigger slinking round the back door of what useter be Ferrers's loft." "Did he look like a sailor?" asked Renshaw quickly, with a return of his former suspicion.
In the outskirts of the town the train swept past a string of huge, cumbersome, ghostly wagons, all of them slinking away into the night-ridden pike that led to another city where the young and curious were already dreaming of the morning hours that were to bring the "circus to town." "Good-by good-by!" sobbed the girl, who had been peering intently through the window of the car.
Ramsey," said she, and she stood so straight that she looked much taller, her blue eyes flashed like steel at the slinking ones of the older woman, "I want to inquire why you sent this child to school such a day as this in such a condition?" Mrs. Ramsey again murmured something inarticulate and backed still farther. Maria followed her quite into the room.
The old spectre always pursuing him stepped again to his side and linked arms. His slinking, furtive air returned, and a certain well-defined fear, as if he dreaded being followed, showed itself in every glance. Suddenly he caught sight of a well-patronized retreat, owned and operated by a Mrs.

And a creature without a fang had worsted him. He felt the abasement of it. Drenched and slinking, he went to the windfall, lay down in the sun, and waited for Gray Wolf.
Woodley must be staying in the neighbourhood, for he did not sleep here, and yet I caught a glimpse of him again this morning slinking about in the shrubbery. I would sooner have a savage wild animal loose about the place. I loathe and fear him more than I can say. How CAN Mr. Carruthers endure such a creature for a moment? However, all my troubles will be over on Saturday."

From a small aperture in the doorway looked out another face, equally evil. Under cover, the crook made the sign of the clutching hand twice and was admitted. "That's the place, all right," whispered Kennedy with satisfaction.
Trouble was his, the same old trouble that has dogged the trail of folly since time began; and Selwyn knew it and waited. At last the boy broke out: "This is a cowardly trick this slinking in to you with all my troubles after what you've done for me after the rotten way I've treated you "
