45627	Did you manage to save him, sir-- tell us-- or-- or was it too late?
45627	Do we leave him there, after comin''so far to help the poor lad? 45627 Do you mean air- mail crates or some of those pilots who''re searching for signs of Buddy Warner?"
45627	Every feller had his hand in but poor me; what''ve I done to be cheated out o''my share like I was a baby? 45627 Expected to meet up with some muck like this I guess, eh, partner?"
45627	Forgot to ask you whether they''d learned anything about our lost friend, Buddy Warner-- how about it, Perk?
45627	Four thousand feet an''more, eh?
45627	Glory be Jack, an''what have you got in that wise coco o''yourn, if it''s all right for you to up an''spill the game?
45627	Gosh amighty Jack, did you see me knock the ole hippopotamus silly when I opened on him right smart? 45627 Got any sort o''idee where we might be right now, Jack?"
45627	How long we been kickin''through this mess?

45627	Pretty girl this time struck you where your heart is soft, eh, buddy?
45627	So that''s all settled, hey? 45627 Tell me, did you come through this crash without being seriously hurt yourself?"
45627	That bally English doctor wanted to take the arm off-- said it''d save my life, but what use would life be to a birdman with only one arm? 45627 Then the mystery is as deep as ever and they have n''t yet found out what happened to poor Buddy?"
45627	We''ll help you get them out o''the bus, lady,he hastened to say;"if so be you''ll kindly show us where they be-- ain''t that so, partner?"
45627	What about, old pal?
45627	What ails you now, comrade?
45627	What''s goin''to be done about it, eh partner?
45627	Whatever ailed you Perk, to set that thing going like mad?
45627	Where to, Jack-- north, east, south or west?
45627	Whereabouts?
45627	Who knows, Perk?
45627	You are searching for him, I take it for granted?
45627	A sort o''yearnin'', hopin''but kinder afraid things might n''t turn out so well in the end?"
45627	Ai n''t there a way for us to slant down an''drop on that sandy shore his boat''s restin''on?
45627	An''what did you think was the worst story in the bunch, Jack old hoss?"
45627	Bart Hicks played one on his unsuspectin''guests then, did he?"
45627	But say, things keep on pilin''up worse than I ever ran across in all my whole life-- look at what''s ahead there-- can you beat it, Jack?"
45627	Could anything be said to make a mother''s heart thrill more with joy-- or that of Buddy''s best girl also?
45627	Did you notice them sitting there when we came in?"
45627	Did you say you would take a look at my ship and find out what''s wrong?
45627	Do you agree with me, sir?"
45627	Do you think they are working on the same lines as the rest of us?"
45627	Get that now, brother, do you?"
45627	Hang it all, why could n''t I have been doin''some other sorter job where they might''a''let me off for a spell?
45627	Hey there, Cyclone, where''d you pop up from, old pard?"
45627	However did it happen you picked out this place to come down in, or was it just by a rare chance?
45627	I get you, partner,"he mumbled, not yet thoroughly aroused,"watchman, how goes the night, eh Jack, old hoss?"
45627	I reckon now you''re meaning an eagle, eh Perk?"
45627	I sure do hope now they ai n''t meanin''to bust in on our fine ship an''play hob with her-- wouldn''t that jar you though, partner?"
45627	I''ll promise to wake you up inside of three hours when you can take charge while I hit the hay-- how about that arrangement, boy?"
45627	Is that really and truly smoke curling up from over there?"
45627	It may assist me to remember the particular instance out of the hundreds I handled?"
45627	Jack, do you think they know who we are and got some sort o''grudge against us on''count o''the trade we foller, eh, what?"
45627	Jack, whatever c''n it mean, do you reckon?"
45627	Know him, Perk?"
45627	Mebbe you''ve noticed me takin''a look all around once in a while-- up in the air, I mean?
45627	Must they turn back, and possibly spend yet another dreary night in the little valley town, dispirited and with the poor girl in despair?
45627	Now, what about putting me wise to the game that was sprung on you tonight?"
45627	Now, what next I wonder?"
45627	Oh my stars, c''n it be possible we''ve run on to poor Buddy Warner so clost to help an''him stuck there like a pig in a poke all this while?
45627	Ready for it?"
45627	Remember that, will you, Cyclone?"
45627	Say, ai n''t that worth comin''out here to see?
45627	Shake hands with me, will you?
45627	Tear in an''tell a feller what it all was about, wo n''t you?"
45627	The dirty scoundrels-- wantin''to give you a_ ride_, was they?
45627	V WHEN A COG SLIPPED"What''s up, partner?"
45627	Want me to keep that right along, Boss?"
45627	We sure do strike the strangest happening in our line o''work, do n''t we?"
45627	What genuine reason could a girl have for such an overwhelming desire for action?
45627	What if the fool bird plunges madly at our ship?
45627	What should they do about it?
45627	What was this he saw projecting from the lake close to the shore?
45627	What was to hinder them seeking it out again, and finding a safe harbor for the hours of darkness?
45627	What will happen to us all?"
45627	What will poor Mother Warner say when she fails to hear from me as I promised?
45627	What''s the use ruining his hide?
45627	Where was the strange hermit of Crater Lake?
45627	Why did he not show himself when he surely must have watched their coming and successful descent?
45627	Why should she show such a yearning for a chance to continue her flight?
45627	Would their entire day be put in without a breath of cheering hope?
45627	all set now for another long spin, combin''the country as we go along, eh partner?"
45627	now ai n''t that the rottenest luck ever?"
45627	so that''s the bully sort of life you fellers in the Secret Service lead, is it?"
45627	ventured Perk, in a tone of injured innocence,"when did this beat in on us, buddy?"
45627	what d''ye think o''that measly rum- runner bobbin''up like a floatin''cork to annoy us again?"
45627	what is it, old hoss?"
45627	what was_ that_ now?"
45627	what''s this I''m seein''partner?"
45627	why was n''t there three bums in the bunch, just enough to go around; dang''em, why did they want to crab my game like that?"
31426	All done up brown and slick, Jack old hoss, now what?
31426	All set, Perk?
31426	And so this is where our friend has his secret hideout at such times when he so mysteriously disappears from his big show place near Miami? 31426 As what, partner?"
31426	But hold on a bit-- mebbe now somethin''s a''goin''to strike up we''ll both be sorter glad to set eyes on-- looky there, old hoss, what do you see?
31426	But what makes him keep all this smuggling business clear of this wonderful show place near Miami?
31426	But what''s the big idea, partner?
31426	Course, you knocked up against the gent then, eh Jack?
31426	Do we tow the ship behind the sloop, partner?
31426	Do you mean he''s got a collection there, Jack?
31426	Er--''bout how long will we be in makin''some sort o''start, boss?
31426	Give up?
31426	How about a little grub for a change, partner?
31426	How''bout spendin''the night here, partner?
31426	How?
31426	I calculate now it means we c''n move around an''get tabs on this here hideout o''the gent we''re so much in love with, eh, what?
31426	I get you, boy-- the machine- gun, is it?
31426	I swan, but you''re right there, Jack-- which looks kinder like he did n''t mean to strike out for Miami, do n''t it?
31426	Jack, I''member there''s a log a''lyin''right over there-- why could n''t I use that an''really break through?
31426	Jack-- what''s happened-- are you bad hurt, buddy?
31426	Just so, and what d''ye reckon we''re going to do with it?
31426	Know how long you''ll be away, Jack?
31426	Looks like it might a come all the way across the gulf-- d''ye think from some Mexican port, Jack?
31426	Me, I''m jest awonderin''?
31426	Meanin''we c''n get somewhere without tryin''to tow the rum- boat behind our crate, and making a long and tiresome job o''it, eh what, partner?
31426	Mebbe the Lockheed- Vega comin''back again?
31426	Notice that he''s already banking, so as to lay his course toward Cape Sable-- square in the south-- get that, do n''t you Perk?
31426	Now would n''t that jar you?
31426	Paper, you say?
31426	Partner, would you mind tellin''me what about this here Oswald Kearns?
31426	Say, what sort of a crazy gyp are you to want to talk things over while we got this scrap on?
31426	So-- you think that''s a queer name, do you? 31426 That''s our boat you''re standin''on, and we need it in our business, see?
31426	Think that''s this here Kearns, partner?
31426	Was he tickled to learn how we managed to run off with that slick little sloop that carried so neat a pack o''cases marked with foreign stamps?
31426	We do n''t want him to give us the slip, since he''s the on''y prisoner we got, do we, partner?
31426	Well, I guess now that would queer our game, would n''t it, partner?
31426	Well, we''ve got the rum- boat okay, have n''t we?
31426	What do I see but another crate humping along this way, an''outen the no''th in the bargain?
31426	What is it, Perk?
31426	What next, Boss?
31426	What''re we goin''to do with this chap?
31426	What''s that matter to you?
31426	What, me? 31426 When do we hop- off, then?"
31426	Why not?
31426	Would n''t that jar you?
31426	Yeah, an''what might that be?
31426	Yeah-- but how?
31426	You do n''t say?
31426	You got me guessin''partner,said the puzzled Perk;"then who''s mixed up in the shindy, I want to know?"
31426	You got me in a tail spin, partner-- lift the lid, wo n''t you, an''gimme a look in?
31426	You heard me warn them to keep a watchful eye out for smugglers and hijackers by land and sea and air? 31426 You mean_ tonight_ while I was picking up a few winks of sleep-- is that a fact, Perk?"
31426	A bit tired in the bargain I take it, partner?"
31426	A few more steps and he would have reached the well-- then what must take place?
31426	An''now I wonder where we''ll be sent for the next big job we tackle?"
31426	An''that goes, partner, see?"
31426	But Jack, tell me, you do n''t think he''s got our man alongside him, do you?"
31426	But how''bout draggin''that ere mudhook up off the ground-- think we c''n tackle the job between us, Jack?"
31426	CHAPTER XXIX A LAST RESORT Meanwhile how fared Jack in his share of the attempt to corner the defiant and persistent law- breaker?
31426	Could anything be fairer than that, Perk asked himself, preparing for business at the drop of the hat?
31426	Could this later fire have been directed at Jack, who had unwisely exposed himself at the side window?
31426	Do n''t think they c''n lamp us lyin''here, do you, Boss?"
31426	From this time on seems to me we''d be wise to play a lone hand, an''not bother about takin''any gyps into our confidence, eh what, Jack?"
31426	Get that do you, Perk?"
31426	Get that, Kamarad?"
31426	Got a line on the racket, old boss?"
31426	Got that piece of stout rope I gave you?"
31426	How about Jack?
31426	How does the land lie over there?"
31426	How''bout that, old hoss?"
31426	Is it all right with you, buddy?"
31426	Listen to''em squabble, will you, boy?
31426	Mebbe now you noticed some sort o''crate just vanishing among them clouds off toward the east as you breezed along?"
31426	No objections, have you, Perk?"
31426	Now I wonder what he wants to barge in for when things seem to be doin''their prettiest for us fellers?
31426	On a previous occasion the same thing had handily proved its efficacy, so why not again?
31426	Perk was asking,"mean to kidnap both o''these guys Jack?"
31426	Say, ai n''t this the boss job though?
31426	See here, what''s the matter with you, staring that way, Perk?"
31426	So he used to fish in them passages''tween the mangrove islands years ago, did he, Jack?"
31426	Strikes me they''re a''searchin''for somethin'', Jack, which might be the pair o''us, eh, what?"
31426	Tell me, did this Mr. Ridgeway fork over any news worth knowin''?"
31426	Well, I''m asking you again, where did you ever run across it-- who ever spoke it in your hearing, Perk?"
31426	What could he do should this crisis come upon him, Jack was asking himself as he crouched there and counted the minutes passing by?
31426	What''s her name and where are you from?"
31426	What''s it mean, Perk-- was he kicking up a mess around here?"
31426	Whatever under the sun is he doing, I wonder?"
31426	Who got fooled that time, I want to know, Gabe Perkiser, you smarty?"
31426	Why d''ye suppose we did n''t see the crate before?"
31426	Would it be proper to set the bally boat afire and see all this hot stuff go up in flames?
31426	but ai n''t this the life, though?"
31426	do n''t I know how impatience is my besettin''sin and ai n''t I always a''tryin''to curb it?
31426	ejaculated Perk,"that there''s the place we learned they was shippin''Chinks over to Florida from, ai n''t it Jack, boy?"
31426	partner, what''s broke loose, would you say?"
31426	so_ this_ is where he dropped down, is it?"
31426	that drummin''noise, it''s stopped-- wonder if they got out to the sloop or else smell a rat an''are lyin''low till they make it a dead certainty?
31426	that''s so, old hoss,_ what?_ Mebbe now the shoe''s on the other foot, an''it''s the blamed sloop that''s got us held up.
31426	the weight do n''t count with such a husky as me, old hoss an''how do we know what''s goin''to happen before we gets back here?
31426	two may be company, but three''s considered a crowd and we might have found we''d bitten off more than we could chew, so what does it matter?"
31426	what d''ye mean by sayin''that, old pal?"
31426	what''s this I''m seein''partner?"
31426	why not?"
41458	And he heard the engine?
41458	And leave it to be identified in a few hours''time by the engine marks?
41458	And why do you want me?
41458	Are you sure?
41458	Better now?
41458	But I wonder when and how it will be? 41458 But how did you know of him?"
41458	But how have you managed that?
41458	But how is it done?
41458	But how on earth did he get there?
41458	But how on earth did you learn I was in Fenways?
41458	But how?
41458	But what about Lympne?
41458	But what could it have been?
41458	But what kind of trap?
41458	But what makes you so certain?
41458	But, Professor,asked the Premier,"do you really mean that nothing whatever can be done to check or prevent this terrible malady?"
41458	But, my dear Yvette,he stammered,"you do n''t mean to say you intend--?"
41458	Can you come to Paris? 41458 Did n''t she tell you about it?"
41458	Did you ever see a dog with hands, Dick?
41458	Did you see?
41458	Do you know a man named Lenart Gronvold?
41458	Do you mean to say he is in it?
41458	Do you mean to say that that is the room in the house on the opposite side of the road?
41458	Do you mind telling me how you come to be in this?
41458	Do you think Gronvold and the sailor have quarrelled?
41458	Have you finished at Barcelona already?
41458	Have you had him long?
41458	Have you really?
41458	He must have been running,said Renstoke,"and what kind of man could run over such a country as this?"
41458	How did you know that I knew Barakoff?
41458	How far away was Gaston when he saw it?
41458	How long have we been flying?
41458	How on earth did you learn this, Renstoke?
41458	I hope you are satisfied, Lord Renstoke,said Erckmann at last,"that none of my pets is responsible for what has happened?"
41458	I want to see Mr Erckmann; is he at home?
41458	In which room do they meet?
41458	Is it known at all?
41458	Machinery,said Dick laconically,"but where?"
41458	May we see it?
41458	Mr Erckmann?
41458	Now, Mr Manton,said the Count in fair English,"will you drive Miss Pasquet in my car to the Continental and register there?
41458	On? 41458 That is Lockie?"
41458	There?
41458	To steal the jewels?
41458	To what am I indebted for Monsieur''s very polite attentions?
41458	Well, Fedor, what luck?
41458	Well,said Regnier,"will you keep me posted?
41458	What are you going to say at the inquest?
41458	What are your intentions?
41458	What can I do for you?
41458	What do you know about it?
41458	What do you make of that?
41458	What else could have done it? 41458 What on earth brings you here?"
41458	Whatever are you doing here, mademoiselle?
41458	Whatever do you mean, Renstoke?
41458	Whatever do you mean?
41458	Where are we?
41458	Who can go about all day and all night without being suspected? 41458 Who is behind this-- I mean who has made this discovery?
41458	Whom will you get to help you? 41458 Why should it be published in the` Diario''?
41458	Why, Manton, what brings you here?
41458	Why-- who is he?
41458	Will you take it in hand?
41458	Would the messieurs require anything further?
41458	Would you like to see what it can do?
41458	You did n''t know I was an electrician, did you, Dick?
41458	You mean,he said,"when the bank vaults were blown open with dynamite and half a million in gold stolen?"
41458	And finally, who are the most secretive people in the world?
41458	And, above all, why should such a message appear in an English code in an obscure paper published in Barcelona?
41458	Are you good for something more exciting and decidedly more dangerous?
41458	But he may have another ape which he has not shown us?"
41458	But how about food?"
41458	But how are we going to get it?"
41458	But how long would he be and what might happen in the meantime?
41458	But how was he to be captured?
41458	But how was it to be done?
41458	But surely you do n''t take me for a common thief?"
41458	But what Bolshevik or Communist, others asked, would waste time and effort to inflict such absurd pinpricks on Society?
41458	But what of the stranger?
41458	But what was he to do?
41458	But where could he be going?
41458	But where was Barakoff?
41458	But where was he hiding, and, above all, where was his machine?
41458	But where was it?"
41458	But which should they choose?
41458	But who could it be, and what possible object could he have?
41458	Can you tell me where any of the` Seven''are to- night?"
41458	Could Jules and Yvette have been mistaken?
41458	Could it possibly be hidden, Dick wondered, in the very heart of London?
41458	Could they do it?
41458	Could they get to Jules in time?
41458	Could they induce radium to deliver in a few moments the power which, expending itself for centuries untold, never seemed to grow less?
41458	Could they learn to accelerate the process?
41458	Do n''t you really know Chalkley?"
41458	Do you agree?"
41458	Do you know Chalkley?"
41458	Do you know where Barakoff is now?"
41458	Do you remember the big bank robbery at Liverpool three years ago?"
41458	Do you think I am likely to hesitate to rob a German thief when it means happiness for hundreds of French men and women and children?"
41458	Had the men of the mystery craft a still greater secret up their sleeve?
41458	How about trying a trap of some kind?"
41458	How are we to hide it?
41458	How did you get on?"
41458	I suppose Simmons is on the look out for him?"
41458	I''m sure of it?"
41458	In any case, you will have Durham warned?"
41458	Is the Mohawk ready?"
41458	Myself?
41458	None the less the problem remained-- where were the men?
41458	Now, Dick, I want those jewels, and I am going to have them?"
41458	Now, shall we go to- night?
41458	Of course you will come, Yvette?"
41458	Or,"she added mischievously,"is Norfolk and the motor business exciting and dangerous enough for you?"
41458	Suppose Demidoff learned that his papers had fallen into Raoul Gregoire''s hands-- eh?"
41458	There was, as he could see, a small electric motor fitted to it, but where could the necessary power come from?
41458	Was the Mohawk fast enough to beat the pirate?
41458	Were they high enough?
41458	What better device could be employed than a fast aeroplane which could get to Durham and away before anyone could hope to stop it?
41458	What could have become of Yvette and the manager?
41458	What could it mean?
41458	What was the object of the work?
41458	When do we start?"
41458	Where was Chalkley?
41458	Who am I hurting?
41458	Who can go into dens where your men hardly dare to venture?
41458	Who know all the hidden haunts of which your men are utterly ignorant?
41458	Who were Mataza, Wilson, and Greening?
41458	Whom am I benefiting?
41458	Why should n''t we try to fly her over tonight?
41458	Will you come?"
41458	Wo n''t you do it again?
41458	Would any Frenchman or Frenchwoman hesitate a moment?
41458	Would his own, he wondered, pass muster?
41458	Would she be followed, and if so, could she win clear?
41458	You know the story, of course?"
41458	You must come with me-- or shall I call the police?"
41458	You understand?"
41458	You''ve heard something then?"
45629	A pack of timber wolves, you mean, buddy-- the big, gray chaps that can pull down a deer as easy as a mountain lion would do the job?
45629	Across the border-- into Canada, partner?
45629	Ai n''t quite forgot Gabe Perkiser, have you, ol''top? 45629 Ai n''t she ready to take the air, Boss?"
45629	An''tell me, where do we go from Spokane?
45629	Another o''them slick hunches o''yourn, eh partner?
45629	As what, Boss?
45629	Awake are you, ol''hoss?
45629	But how could anybody know what sorter job we''re goin''to wrestle with next, even''fore we got a glimmer o''it ourselves?
45629	But-- I''m younger than you, Perk, spryer too-- it ought to be my game, do n''t you see?
45629	But-- see here Jack, you do n''t mean to let''em have the merry ha ha on us, I sure hope? 45629 Can you tie that?"
45629	Even if you did manage to hang on and climb inside, what good would it do-- how get the woman and child across the gap?
45629	Get him yet?
45629	Goin''to use the pontoons again, eh partner?
45629	How about it now?
45629	How''s things?
45629	Is n''t it about time for_ grub_?
45629	It''s a girl then?
45629	Jack, you''re meanin''to drop down, ai n''t you?
45629	Meanin''who, if it''s all the same to you, partner?
45629	Mebbe now, it might be that you could give a sorter guess''bout that job we''re goin''to have tacked on to us right away? 45629 Must be drawing close to the fur- trading post, I''d reckon, eh partner?"
45629	Nearly two o''clock right now-- c''n we get off this afternoon, partner?
45629	Okay Boss?
45629	Say, was you meanin''to pick out one o''these lakes for a campin''place tonight, eh, ol''hoss?
45629	So, that''s one of them, is it?
45629	Sure did, Jack, and now the next question is, can we hop off from here when the right time comes along?
45629	Sure you saw some one are you, Perk?
45629	The chase is on then, it seems, Perk; what d''ye reckon they''re after?
45629	This the right place?
45629	W- hy-- what in tarnation thunder is that big monster, Jack?
45629	Well, what do you think of that for a corking dodge?
45629	Well, what of it?
45629	What do you mean buddy?
45629	What dye s''pose them yaps think''bout us flyin''so low down over their heads like we wanted to take a peep at the mule pack train?
45629	What''s that, boy?
45629	What''s that, buddy? 45629 What''s the matter at Spokane?
45629	What''s the matter-- what ails you, Perk?
45629	What''s the name he goes by up there?
45629	What''s the program after we''ve cleaned up this mess, eh partner?
45629	When and how did this happen?
45629	Where bound, for the love o''mike?
45629	Where did you get that picture?
45629	Which way now, partner?
45629	Who cares?
45629	Who''s been handlin''you rough, brother?
45629	Why-- what-- here, what business you got takin''my property?
45629	Wonder what did ail the boat to make that stick go dead so you could n''t get a wiggle outen it?
45629	Yeah?
45629	Yes, what can it be, do you think, Perk?
45629	Yes, what is it, Perk?
45629	You reckon then they''ll have a lookout posted to command the approach, and get wind of any threatening danger?
45629	Adrian-- Adrian_ what_?"
45629	An''if it''s a fair question, ol''hoss,_ when_ do we cal''late to pull out o''this burg?"
45629	Any more light on who did that dirty, sneaky job last night, eh what?"
45629	Any real particular news come your way down thar in town, Jack?"
45629	Birdseye Baker, glad to see you''re still on deck-- ain''t forgot Gabe Perkiser, have you, Oldtimer?"
45629	But say, what are we goin''to do''bout this thing-- why do you strike down closer, I want to know, Jack?"
45629	But whatever can it be mules has got to do with coaxin''us to turn aside from our main trail, I''d like to know?"
45629	But, to change the subject, I''m botherin''my poor brain tryin''to figger out which way we''ll face when the orders come breezin''along?"
45629	Can you make the venture, lady?"
45629	Can you tie it for keepin''a poor feller''s nerves all on edge?"
45629	Did I hear you say_ mules_?"
45629	Did n''t he say the close season was on with all game that you c''n eat and that the Mounties might get me if I took chances and nailed that big boy?
45629	Do n''t I know him from his moccasins up, the queerest but straightest man in the whole Northwest Territory?
45629	Ever meet up with Sergeant Lowden, Perk?"
45629	From now on this has to be a whirlwind campaign, and no mistake-- get that, partner?"
45629	Have n''t forgotten that, eh, Perk old fellow?"
45629	How about that, Perk?"
45629	How about you and the boy?"
45629	How long will we be stickin''round this Spokane airport, I wonder?"
45629	How''bout it, Jack, ol''hoss?"
45629	How''bout it, old hoss?"
45629	How''bout that, Jack?"
45629	How''bout the place you took dinner at-- good enough to stand an encore, buddy?"
45629	I came up here to hunt big game and if it happens to run on two legs, why, what''s the odds?
45629	I''ll dream o''this for a month o''Sundays but ai n''t it a thrillin''sight though?"
45629	I''m set to carry along every shell I fetched up here with me-- this is the job they''re meant for, an''why be a miser''bout it?"
45629	III BRIDGING THE GAP"Which window, Perk?"
45629	Jack, that was a great snap you gave me an''chances are, Mister-- er, hey, what''s this mean?"
45629	Knowed it was somethin''that begun with a B, did n''t I tell you?
45629	Let me have my way,_ please_, partner, wo n''t you?"
45629	Look at that burst of flame will you?
45629	McGregor?"
45629	Might have bust our biler an''then where''d we been, tell me?
45629	Now I wonder if you thought to ask what her name might be?"
45629	Now would n''t that jar you though-- such great luck?"
45629	Perk seemed to catch it first, for he jumped up and broke loose by crying:"Hear that, partner?
45629	Perk suddenly gasped,"see that black smudge blowin''in from a side street ol''hoss?
45629	Reckon now there''s anythin''in that report, Jack?"
45629	Say, did n''t we feel a great big thrill just before making the grab?
45629	She''s a genuine cloud- chaser, boy, an''do n''t take any guy''s dust-- am I right''bout that, Boss?"
45629	So we''re meanin''to pick up a bunch o''news at Spokane, are we?
45629	Some o''them Bolshevik miners broke loose over in Idaho an''threatenin''to kick up general hell again like they''ve done so many times?"
45629	Then in addition to those chances, what if their ship became totally disabled?
45629	Then what''s to be done?"
45629	Then, as if noting the absence of Old Jimmy the factor, Perk continued, looking anxiously around:"But where''s Jimmy right now, I want to know?
45629	They still keep on coming though; men, women and lots of children who''d be better off at home I reckon still, what would you have?
45629	Under the unfortunate circumstances what can I do to further your plans, sir?
45629	What ails the Mounties, I wanter know, when they slip up on a job like this?
45629	What say to taking a turn around and getting a view from another quarter?"
45629	Would it be possible to make the jump from such a wretched field, with its many bumpy spots calculated to cause the moving craft to wobble fiercely?
45629	Would n''t that jar you, ol''hoss?"
45629	XIV THE BOOTLEG PACK- MULE TRAIN"What''s up?"
45629	ai n''t this glorious sport though?"
45629	an''do we expect to try an''rustle stolen mules this time?
45629	and do you reckon there''s any truth in what this paper says or did it jest boil up in the brain o''one o''them reporters, eh Jack ol''hoss?"
45629	but ai n''t life queer though?"
45629	but then what''d I find to worry''bout if I did n''t pick on the way we''re kept in the dark up to the last minute?"
45629	but this is a heap int''restin''I''m sayin'', eh Jack?"
45629	guess now you might mean whether they had anything to fear''bout our ship or not, eh partner?"
45629	guess you must mean the notched wings, eh, partner?"
45629	jest hear''em whoopin''things up, will you?"
45629	jest see the cowardly critter lope out o''here, will you, partner?"
45629	let me make the try, partner-- sure I c''n do such a little stunt okay-- let off, wo n''t you, Jack?"
45629	like I might be in a cutout-- brain all in a mixup-- what c''n we do, Boss-- knock that cop over an''skoot upstairs?"
45629	now ai n''t that a danged shame though?"
45629	now, what in thunder does all that distant racket mean?"
45629	partner, does it look to you like some crazy snooper set fire to the hangar under the belief that our ship was locked in there?"
45629	running this train in sections are they?"
45629	so,_ that''s_ the way the scent leads us, is it?"
45629	what''s all this mean?
45629	what''s been goin''on''round the post here, boys?"
45494	All ashore who are going ashore?
45494	All set?
45494	Anything interesting?
45494	Are they getting specimens?
45494	At what-- be yourself or tell me what has set you off-- I do n''t see anything to laugh at--"No?
45494	Buddy, I say, Old Timer, where are you?
45494	Bugs drive you out of the sky?
45494	But suppose we do not find them, or find they have been killed?
45494	Can all the natives speak English?
45494	Can we get them out?
45494	Can you walk now?
45494	Did n''t you have a blooming thing?
45494	Did one of them look into your eyes?
45494	Did you happen to see the butterfly flight? 45494 Do n''t they know the professor will come back with their families?"
45494	Do n''t those boys want something to eat?
45494	Do n''t you think you''d better take word to the settlement? 45494 Do they mind being away off alone?"
45494	Does he have to conduct the investigation in that particular spot?
45494	Does he own the earth?
45494	Does n''t she miss them?
45494	Eh, why did n''t you tell him it was a relation of the green emerald rings?
45494	Ever see him before?
45494	Figuring that we tramped twelve or fifteen hours all together, how many miles do you believe we covered?
45494	Good Heavens, what they got into?
45494	Gordon, who the blazes is Gordon?
45494	Got the luggage?
45494	Great heavens, was he insane?
45494	Have you got any guns aboard?
45494	Hear it now?
45494	Hey, Mills, what''s the matter with you?
45494	His fortune, how do you make that out?
45494	Hoping they''ll come out on that hill?
45494	How are we going to do it?
45494	How are we going to manage it?
45494	How can you bring our children back?
45494	How did you happen to be here?
45494	I say, who else are you expecting?
45494	I''ve been in these parts many years and I''ve seen queer things--"Jinks, is n''t there any end to the curse?
45494	If we send air men in after him are they likely to be in danger?
45494	Is he dead?
45494	Is that a threat or a promise?
45494	Is there likely to be more than one passage through the Black Woods?
45494	Like to take one home?
45494	No? 45494 No?"
45494	No?
45494	No?
45494	O--"Is something the matter?
45494	Oh, you do n''t? 45494 Or only an extra pair of socks?"
45494	Remember the chart readings?
45494	Say, am I so funny?
45494	Say, how do you get that way?
45494	Say, where do you think you are going to take us?
45494	Say, you guys know the way outta here''cept by plane?
45494	See anyone else?
45494	Shall I give you a pinch so you''ll be sure you are awake?
45494	Stopped and looked at Mills?
45494	Suits me,answered Captain Seaman crisply, then he turned to his wife,"Care to hop home with me, dear?"
45494	Suppose he''s alive?
45494	Suppose it could be the top of some temple that''s been buried by earthquakes?
45494	Suppose we were there more than one round of the clock?
45494	Sure that water did n''t knock you out?
45494	Sure, en ai nt they outta luck?
45494	Taking them both?
45494	Tell us about this thing, will you?
45494	Thank God you are safe, but, what was the idea?
45494	That''s the place Martin is managing, is n''t it?
45494	The man you said that you left back there?
45494	The thoughtful lad who carted the gas to the plane when we were on the Island coming down with your dad?
45494	There''s a plane here--"A plane?
45494	Think we been traveling for hours with nothing in our stomachs?
45494	Think we''d better let him go?
45494	Thinking of taking some of them off?
45494	Those kids--"What you waiting for?
45494	Those white butterflies flew over your head?
45494	Turn that gat, you fool--"Who took it?
45494	Until the last butterfly passes?
45494	Well, what''s this?
45494	What are you carrying?
45494	What are you doing here?
45494	What did he look like?
45494	What do you expect to learn around here, Buddy? 45494 What for?"
45494	What happened to you?
45494	What in heck?
45494	What in the name of cat- soup and fish is the matter with you?
45494	What is it?
45494	What you doing here?
45494	What you fellows doing here?
45494	What you got on your mind? 45494 What''s it all about?"
45494	What''s left?
45494	What''s the matter?
45494	When do we eat?
45494	Where have you been--"Are you hurt?
45494	Where in the name of Mark Antony did he go?
45494	Where is Professor Martin?
45494	Where is it?
45494	Where''s the rest of the stuff?
45494	Why not wait until she is fixed up then come back in her?
45494	Why remind us of that? 45494 Will you send to search for Mills?"
45494	Wind, how do you make that out?
45494	Would n''t you prefer to be flying?
45494	Yeh, when we get out, then what?
45494	Yes, his name is Mills and he''s gone crazy--"Crazy?
45494	Yes?
45494	You did n''t catch anything from Mills, did you?
45494	You fellows want a bomb or two right in the middle of you?
45494	You mean those with the professor?
45494	You were beside your step- brother, would you please tell us this part of the story as you saw it?
45494	All set, Old Man?"
45494	Can you cover the machine up so if any one flies over she would n''t stick out like a sore thumb?"
45494	Do you understand?"
45494	GHOSTS"Hey, what are you waiting for?"
45494	Going around by the woods?"
45494	Got any more batteries?"
45494	How do you feel since you had something to eat?"
45494	How many women and children did they leave behind?"
45494	I got you down without a smashup, did n''t I?
45494	I was a baby and he and his wife have been most--""Why not skip that part?"
45494	If the bugs forced you down, what you doing over here?
45494	Is anyone in the house?"
45494	It may be hours before we wake up and in the meantime there''s a white man back there--""A white man?"
45494	Like to hop inside and freshen up a bit?"
45494	Now, Doctor, how about that pilot-- should he be taken to a hospital?"
45494	Now, where is that plane?
45494	See that scaffolding way up high?"
45494	See the other chap?"
45494	Shall we leave it here, or one of us fly it?"
45494	There is something about this Butterfly Flight; what is it Doc?"
45494	Think we''d better stay here?"
45494	We had a report tube we were taking home to Jim''s father, but you''re all wet-- too late--""What do you mean?"
45494	Well, what do you reckon''s the matter with them rings?"
45494	What''s the matter with the rings?"
45494	When did he steal it?"
45494	When do we eat?"
45494	Where did you get those rings you are wearing?"
45494	Where do you hail from?"
45494	Where is that tube?"
45494	Where''s Martin?"
45494	Why in blazes did n''t you find out what was in it?"
18117	Already back? 18117 And if it is fine?"
18117	And the gunner?
18117	And you can leave us like that?
18117	Are n''t you coming to mass?
18117	But how?
18117	Clouds, waiting over there, motionless, on the edge of the horizon, what are you waiting for? 18117 Could n''t you be of service with respect to making engines, etc.?"
18117	Do n''t you know somebody in your class at Saint- Cyr who could help me?
18117	Do n''t you see any change in me?
18117	Do n''t you see how little they understand? 18117 How can one enlist in the aviation corps?"
18117	How comes it that your foot was not injured?
18117	In what part of France?
18117	Is it really so early?
18117	The dog? 18117 Then, what did you do?"
18117	Under what circumstances?
18117	Vexed for what?
18117	What can I do?
18117	What does it matter? 18117 What is it you miss here at home?"
18117	What is this, Bagheera?
18117	What scouting have you done this morning?
18117	Whence do you come?
18117	Where are you going, father?
18117	Who is it?
18117	Who is this?
18117	Why not stop awhile? 18117 Why this trip to Pau?"
18117	Without replying?
18117	Would he make a cavalryman?
18117	You are going?
18117	You have lost your Boche?
18117	You wo n''t do it? 18117 You?
18117	[ 20] What difference does it make, then, if they depart in company for glory or for death? 18117 ''Do n''t you know anybody who could take me up some Sunday?'' 18117 --Has the attack succeeded?"
18117	... Que s''est- il donc passé?
18117	Ah, the regulations refuse the hunter this game?
18117	And to what purpose?
18117	And what about US?"
18117	And what was the use of flying on an unsatisfactory airplane?
18117	Are you a captain?"
18117	But Guynemer?
18117	But can a Guynemer be quite lost?
18117	But could this message be credited?
18117	But had he thought himself invincible?
18117	But how to rid them of these enemies, and render the latter incapable of harm?
18117	But these fathers and mothers, these wives and children, when they read this book, will not say:"What is Guynemer to us?
18117	By what wings did he manage thus to glide into immortality?
18117	Could it be possible?
18117	Could it be that the German had escaped?
18117	Did he not feel the exhaustion consequent on the nervous strain of unlimited effort?
18117	Did he really re- read them?
18117	Did it not occur to him that his hour, whether near or not, was marked down?
18117	Did you see me?
18117	Do we really choose our friends in early life?
18117	Do you understand?..."
18117	Does this not embody the upspringing force of Guynemer''s brilliant youth?
18117	For my eighth combat, this was decidedly annoying...."It was annoying, but what could be done?
18117	Guynemer''s biography is of such a nature that it must seem like a poem: why not, then, conclude it with an_ envoi_?
18117	Had Guynemer really succeeded four times?
18117	He had an admiration for Beauchamp, but when did a Roland ever listen to an Oliver?
18117	He was impatient to know where they were to go:''Where are we going?...
18117	Hercules, Achilles, Roland, the Cid-- where shall we find outside of mythology or the epics any prototypes for the wild and furious Guynemer?
18117	How do you feel about it?"
18117	How had it been able to get there?
18117	How old are you?"
18117	How will he supply this deficiency?
18117	How would it be when he should have his own airplane?
18117	I am writing you in the mess, while two comrades are elaborating social theories...."Would he be able to endure this workman''s existence?
18117	I speak to you as a former officer: does your conscience assure you that your son is fit to carry a knapsack and be a foot- soldier?"
18117	I swallowed a question I was going to ask: What about yourself-- some day?
18117	If so, why not fly?
18117	In the beginning did he think of becoming a pilot?
18117	In what, then, lies the superiority?
18117	Is not his loss the loss of something akin to life?
18117	Is this a letter?
18117	Of whom has he not asked this question?
18117	One of his comrades asked with assumed negligence:"Are n''t you going to wait till Major du Peuty and Major Brocard arrive?"
18117	Only that?
18117	Or the long- enduring, robust, admirable_ sous- lieutenant_ Nungessor, or Sergeant Sauvage, or Adjutant Tarascon?
18117	Quel est cet équipage?
18117	Shall you take us to the Grand Palais?
18117	So I am not an impressive captain, then?
18117	Some said it was useless; was it not sufficient that the airplanes of the army corps and those for bombardments could defend themselves?
18117	Their inner conviction must be that their young chief is dead; and besides, what is death, what is life, to devoting one''s all to France?
18117	This time another objection arose: If he receives the"cross"for this victory, what can be given him for succeeding ones?
18117	This was really too much: was he going to lose his prey?
18117	To which Deullin answered:"Why does it?
18117	Truly the hour was badly chosen-- but when is it chosen at the will of mortals?
18117	Was he no longer the stubborn Guynemer?
18117	Was he not hourly to hear that he might go to the Buc works for his machine?
18117	Was he not tired of hunting, killing, or destroying in the high regions of the atmosphere?
18117	Was he thinking of his future at all?
18117	Was he tired of holding the door tight against destiny, or feeling sure that destiny could not look in?
18117	Was he to be involved in the new tactics and to become a mere unit in a group, or a chief with the responsibility of collective maneuvers?
18117	Was his sister awake?
18117	Was it Captain Ménard, or Sangloer, or de la Tour?
18117	Was it Deullin, skilled in approach, and prompt as the tempest?
18117	Was it possible for him to stay there alone when the whole of France had risen?
18117	Was it the chain of the Pyrenees covered with snow which, breaking this uniformity, wrested a cry of admiration from the aviator?
18117	Was it to be believed?
18117	Was this Guinemer, like the pirate of Jerusalem, doing penance for some wrong?
18117	Were not these strange words, if indeed Guynemer attached any meaning to them?
18117	What could have led him to a determination apparently so sudden?
18117	What did he do in the air?
18117	What does he care about an airplane-- don''t they know that his old passion and dream are dead?
18117	What gifts would he ask of his father?
18117	What had happened?
18117	What lover was ever more ingenious and madder in his rendezvous?
18117	What nerves could stand such a strain?
18117	What on earth can I write?"
18117	What ought Guynemer to do?
18117	What shades of gold and purple were shed over the scene by the setting sun?
18117	What sort of story had the German who brought him down told?
18117	What would Guynemer do now?
18117	What would it matter if some envious people should make remarks?
18117	When had he ceased to think himself invincible?
18117	When the latter reopened his eyes-- for only a short while-- he asked:"Where am I?"
18117	When they talked together on school outings, or as they walked along beside the walls of Stanislas, had they ever foreseen this destiny?
18117	Where are the friends who have never had a dispute?
18117	Where has he gone?
18117	Where was he, then?
18117	Where was his teacher?
18117	Where was the Revolutionary Tribunal?
18117	Whereupon another guest asked:"Could you imagine him bragging?"
18117	Who has not seen him hunting for a missing exercise in a copybook full of scraps of paper?
18117	Who were the noncommissioned officer and the two soldiers?
18117	Why could he not forge them himself?
18117	Why had these villages been attracted to this particular camp?
18117	Why was it Guynemer, according to the testimony of all his rivals?
18117	Why, then, did he alone have the power, like a great military chief, of leaving universal sadness behind him?
18117	Will our new Roland allow himself to be outdistanced by these terrible children of former ages?
18117	Will you stand idle and let me awaken my brother, who is resting?"
18117	Without the technical lessons of Jean Krebs, could Guynemer later have got into the aviation field at Pau, and won so easily his diploma as pilot?
18117	Would Guynemer be put out of action from the beginning, as at Verdun?
18117	Would he fall?
18117	Would he have applied himself so closely to the study of his tools and the perfecting of his machine?
18117	Would he hesitate?
18117	what dog?"
45973	Ai nt it won- der- ful?
45973	Ai nt sech a tough looker as we know he is, eh, ole pal?
45973	Any fambly as yeou heard of?
45973	Are you through eating?
45973	As what?
45973	Beat what?
45973	Bully boy, Jack; I''m tickled pink to hear such good news; when do we move in, tell me?
45973	Could anybody think up a finer and safer location for such an illegal plant than up here, where they could carry on their work without molestation? 45973 Dead certain be yeou, Jack?"
45973	Did yeou hear it?
45973	Dinner knocking harder than customary; or did you get a letter from your best girl, breaking off the engagement? 45973 Does that mean he might be fetchin''a last hour message, Jack?"
45973	First tell me, was the ship okay?
45973	Get a bite?
45973	Get through with your list, partner?
45973	Haow come, buddy?
45973	He must a been a fair good chap then, I guess, partner, eh, what?
45973	I hope you did what I told you to-- eat a good lunch while you had the opportunity?
45973	I notices, Jack, as haow yeou allers say_ down here_ when yeou mentions this cave; haow do yeou make that aout, partner?
45973	I reckon you''re referring to our old friend, Cool Slim Garrabrant, eh, Perk?
45973	I remember how furious you were, and saying it was a shame to be cheated that way, eh, Perk?
45973	If you do n''t expect him to swallow it what then, partner?
45973	Jest hear the people a shoutin''will yeou?
45973	Jest so, partner,Perk instantly commented;"an''what air yeou agoin''to pass on to me, I wanter know?"
45973	Just fishing again, eh, Perk-- want to know what I think covering the game, is n''t that so? 45973 Kin we climb daown outen this tree naow, partner?"
45973	Kinder reckon on makin''the jump then, air yeou, boss?
45973	Meanin'', I kinder guess, as heow that party might be in the Secret Service like we air-- does that fill the bill, Jack?
45973	Meanin''it''s the end o''a perfect day, eh, what?
45973	Meaning the earth, I reckon, eh, Perk?
45973	More organization stuff, eh?
45973	Naow whatever kin yeou mean by that same remark, Jack, ole boy?
45973	Not any, partner,he told Perk, resolutely;"what do you take me for, a weakling, or a shirker?
45973	Nothing else you noticed, partner?
45973	Ready, all?
45973	Remember my telling you about that cook chap they''ve got, waiting on them, and all that, Perk?
45973	Say, doant tell me yeou run acrost that big hill- billy o''a grizzly, Jack?
45973	Say, have heart, wo nt yeou, partner, an''please do n''t aggravate the situation so bad? 45973 Say, what_ would n''t_ I give right naow if on''y I could ketch that confident spirit my best pal''s got mixed up in his mind an''heart?"
45973	Seems like there ai nt nawthin''we kin do to make things easier, eh, buddy?
45973	Show tonight, Jack?
45973	Simeon-- Simeon Balderson?
45973	So you reckoned he was some interested in us, did you, Perk? 45973 So, that''s the wonderful Hawk, is it, partner?"
45973	Some important, I takes it, buddy?
45973	Somethin''o''a mob here tonight, partner?
45973	Still o''the opinion the kid might be his''n?
45973	Storm agoin''to hold us up, mebbe naow, partner?
45973	Sure thing, Jack, but did n''t he manage a wonderful landin'', an''keep from a bad smashup, on''y hurtin''his shoulder in the jam?
45973	Sure thing, Jack; then I kinder guess the letter must be from Headquarters?
45973	That''s what he''s adoin''then, yeou figger, eh, Jack?
45973	The first job we''re going to tackle is along the line of making a safe and sane landing-- you get that of course, Perk?
45973	Then do yeou guess they knowed we was ahead on the same track, eh, Jack, ole hoss?
45973	Then what_ does_ ail you, boy-- something gone wrong with your plans-- can I do anything to ease the strain? 45973 Then you recognize it from the brief description he gave on the side of his tissue- paper chart, do you, Perk?"
45973	Then you say it''s a portrait of Slim Garrabrant?
45973	Then-- yeou_ know_ him, I''m understandin''boy?
45973	We were talking about a certain scoundrel who''s name we''ve seen so often of late in the papers-- remember, Perk?
45973	Well, what''s aour programme agoin''to be?
45973	What puts you in the dumps so, Perk?
45973	What''s eating you, buddy?
45973	What''s happened here?
45973	What''s in the wind this time?
45973	What''s that, partner?
45973	Which tree?
45973	Which would mean we got some hours to kill,''fore mornin''comes along to give us a show fur aour money, eh, Jack, ole boy?
45973	Why not, when they''ve pulled off some mighty big shake- downs during the last few months, and must have raked in a heap of dough? 45973 Why waste any more time when there''s no need?"
45973	Wonder what time it kin be, Jack; caint get a peep at my wrist watch in all this darkness, yeou know?
45973	Yeah, yeou said it, partner-- I kinder guess naow it was a ship up here in this same sea we''re buzzin''through, do n''t yeou?
45973	Yeou doant kinder guess Simeon he might give us away in his excitement, eh, partner?
45973	Yeou says as haow yeou knowed this guy Simeon some, did n''t yeou, partner?
45973	Yeou_ would_ do jest that, ole pal, would n''t yeou? 45973 You mean that sound in the fog pack, do n''t you?"
45973	You seem to know some one, Perk, from what you''re saying?
45973	You''re going to know everything that I do, Perk; that goes without question; for how could we work together as a team if we pulled contrarywise?
45973	Ai nt that time come''raound yet, buddy?"
45973	And then, when they had a good grist of bogus stuff to scatter over the western country, how easy to send it out aboard that swift airship?
45973	But I wonder--""What do you wonder, Perk?"
45973	But did yeou happen to hear a ship takin''off jest after we slid aout, boss?"
45973	But like as not we orter be makin''up aour plans, had n''t we, Jack?"
45973	But the devil of it is, can he ever be retaken?
45973	CHAPTER VIII THE WINGED MESSENGER"Coast seems to be clear, eh, Jack?"
45973	CHAPTER XXV SQUATTERS''RIGHTS"Yeou doan''t reckon as haow anybody kin see a fire, if so be I started a little blaze back in here, do yeou, partner?"
45973	Do we get a move on right away, mate?"
45973	Forgive it, Perk, wo nt you?"
45973	Get out, and stay out, d''ye hear, boy?"
45973	Get that, do you?"
45973	Get that, pard?"
45973	Goin''doawn, are yeou, Jack?"
45973	Haow dye like that swipe, I''m askin''o''yeou,--a sweet upper- cut I got a copyright on?
45973	Haow far''bout do yeou figger goin''on this tack, I want to know?"
45973	Haow''bout the next move, sense it seems we''ve got this far okay?"
45973	Honest Injun, neow, Jack, ai n''t yeou any idea when we''re apt to grab an order to get goin''again?"
45973	How about it, Perk?"
45973	How yeou gittin''on with things, Jack?"
45973	How''bout the kid-- dye kinder guess he''ll have a bad time with that leg?"
45973	I get yeou, buddy-- meanin''the queer pass that''s so narrow three hossmen could n''t enter abreast-- is that straight, Jack?"
45973	I see you''re trying to keep him from swilling it down, Perk; must have some object in letting the stuff run all over his back as you''re doing?"
45973	I wonder neow could it be them gluttonus birds they been pickin''the bones o''thet poor Simeon what disappeared''raound this section o''kentry?
45973	I wonder--""What neow, Jack?"
45973	If it keeps on we''ll be apt to forget heow to handle a ship, an''get air shy-- neow_ would n''t_ that same be a tough joke on us poor guys?"
45973	Lay off, partner, an''gimme a run fur my money, wo n''t yeou?"
45973	Naow, what''s next on the programme, tell me?"
45973	Put your arms around my neck, and I''ll be able to hold you better-- that''s the way, kiddie; you know I''m a good friend of yours, do n''t you?"
45973	Ready to start on aour way, be yeou, partner?"
45973	S''pose it does that same, what''s bound to happen to us dicks runnin''wild up here, I want to know?"
45973	See anybody yeou happens to know''round here partner?"
45973	Some galoots air built that way, yeou savvy?
45973	Think that happy day ever will come, Jack?"
45973	We could n''t play our hands if the man we want so badly has gone off with his crowd, to hold up some bank, or treasure train, could we?
45973	We jest got to do aour best, an''leave the rest-- aint I been adoin''that same mighty near all my whole life?
45973	What could it all mean, I wonder?"
45973	What in tarnation kin_ he_ be doin''out this way-- yeou do n''t figger he''s goin''to butt in on aour job, do yeou?"
45973	What''s the answer, Jack?"
45973	Who knows where he lives?"
45973	Yeou ai n''t agoin''to stagger me by sayin''that this here cook might be_ him_?"
45973	Yeou mean that boob was no other than Slippery Slim hisself, the Ole Scratch we''re runnin''after right at this minute, doant yeou, partner mine?
45973	ai nt it awful thick, though?"
45973	allers is some kinder drawback to every game I hatch up-- we ai nt got any rope fur a fack; which is too bad, ai nt it?
45973	baby, ai nt the fur bound to fly when I get workin''my jaws reg''lar onct again?"
45973	boy?"
45973	but ai nt this jest grand?"
45973	but_ did_ yeou ever hear o''sech great luck in all yeour born days?
45973	c''n yeou beat it, partner?"
45973	did yeou_ ever_ see sech a buster o''a bar?"
45973	do n''t be so het up an''greedy, Mister; I sure ai nt atryin''to get yeou soaked-- seems like he''s quite took to the bottle, do n''t it, Jack?"
45973	doant it beat the Dutch, Jack, haow chumps like that kin lick up all the cream on a pan o''milk, leavin''the skim stuff to honest folks?
45973	does that mean yeou got a squint o''somethin''worth while, partner?"
45973	he muttered, just loud enough for Jack to hear him,"so_ that''s_ what took ole Nat outen San Diego, was it?
45973	ole boy, do yeou smell it a''ready, to be makin''sech faces at me?
45973	partner, does that same mean we kin get started this very night to make contact with Simeon?"
45973	that''s a familiar sound I''m picking up, eh, what, Perk?"
45973	then yeou been a nosin''''raound this queer hole back o''the cliff, an''mebbe run acrost somethin''wuth knowin'', eh, what, partner?"
45973	things_ do_ seem to be headin''aour way, do n''t they though, Jack?
45973	wake me up somebody, wo nt yeou kindly?"
45973	what''s in the wind now, I want to know?"
45973	why caint a gink do a simple thing like we done without people wantin''to gush over him?
45973	why did yeou ever mention sech a thing, Pal Jack?
10584	And desert my chum when he''s in trouble? 10584 And how about the plane business?"
10584	And now, Tom, had n''t we better turn toward the shore?
10584	Anything gone wrong with the motors, Tom?
10584	Are you sure cabling would do no good, if we could manage to send an urgent message?
10584	Are you worrying about your cousin?
10584	Back home, Tom?
10584	Berlin or bust?
10584	Better separate, and attack''em from two different angles, had n''t we, Tom?
10584	But ca n''t something be done, boys? 10584 But if it does n''t, what then?"
10584	But not impossible?
10584	But then what''s the use of sticking it out? 10584 But what about Bertrand Hale, Nellie?
10584	But why could n''t you take the spin in his company, Tom? 10584 But why should it?
10584	But, surely, you would n''t dare hint anything about the big trip we want to take, Tom?
10584	But-- how could you have reached here so far ahead of me?
10584	Can you make it perfectly safe again before half an hour passes?
10584	Could n''t be bettered much, could it, Tom?
10584	Could you feel any motion when you stood on that lower shelf of the berg?
10584	Did n''t I know you could do it, Tom?
10584	Did they get any of our crowd?
10584	Did those shots seem to be over yonder to the right?
10584	Did you learn anything about the job we''ve got on hand, Tom?
10584	Did-- er, Bessie ask you to look me up?
10584	Do you really mean that Bessie and Mrs. Gleason are so close as all that?
10584	Do you suppose your cousin knows anything about this new development?
10584	Do you think he suspected anything?
10584	Does the hangar lie in that quarter, sir?
10584	For a change of subject,Tom observed,"shall we tell Lieutenant Beverly about your troubles?
10584	Glad to hear you say that, Jack, because I''m feeling particularly keen myself to be one of that bunch to- night"When do we start?
10584	Have they tried to injure your plane, Colin?
10584	Have you had bad news from home?
10584	How about it if we should sight a steamer?
10584	How can such wickedness exist when war had made so many heroes among our boys?
10584	How do we know what the good fairy may do for you, so as to outwit the villain of the piece?
10584	How far are we from land, Tom, would you say?
10584	How long have we been here?
10584	How would an iceberg fill the bill, Colin?
10584	I suppose you''re counting now on getting that long flight off your mind? 10584 I wonder if that can be Virginia I see?"
10584	I''d like to know how you make that out?
10584	Is there anything else to confer about?
10584	Is there anything else we can do for you, Lieutenant?
10584	Is there anything to delay us further?
10584	It is n''t about Bessie, I hope?
10584	It was the_ Titanic_, was n''t it, that bumped into an iceberg, and went down with such a frightful loss of life?
10584	It''s all right then, I take it, Tom?
10584	It''s hinted that we are aiming at Berlin, do n''t you know?
10584	It''s the supply pipe clogging then?
10584	Jack, what''s wrong with you?
10584	Just the thing, I''d say,the lieutenant answered,"only who ever heard of an iceberg floating down in mid- Atlantic at this season of the year?
10584	No chance of our getting at it while afloat, is there?
10584	No one dead, or sick, I hope, Jack?
10584	Notice that road looking as if it might be pitted with shell- holes? 10584 Please explain what you mean by that?"
10584	Pretty nearly through, Tom?
10584	Running more into the south- southwest, you mean, I suppose, Tom?
10584	Say, is it going to be anything serious, fellows? 10584 See here, is it anything connected with that Burson property-- has that matter come to a head at last?"
10584	See how the old luck keeps hanging over us, will you? 10584 See who''s coming, will you?"
10584	Spies hanging around, probably?
10584	Tell me, is that the anchored light- ship''s siren, Tom, do you think?
10584	That one spanning the river about twenty miles back of the German lines, do you mean?
10584	That you, Tom, Jack?
10584	Then the machine is still ready for business, is it?
10584	Then you suspect he may already be on his way across, and will arrive before you can get there to put in your claim?
10584	There, is n''t that a regular beauty to show?
10584	This is Mrs. Parmly, I believe?
10584	Tom, do you think the general would permit us to take our machine, and fly to Dunkirk?
10584	Tom, would it be madness, do you think?
10584	We veer to the left here, and pass out to sea over Queenstown, do n''t we, Colin?
10584	We want to see Major Denning; can anybody direct us to him?
10584	Well, is there any objection to breaking our fast again?
10584	What about the plane, Colin?
10584	What are you thinking about, Tom, for I can see a look in your face that we ought to know? 10584 What can I be doing in the meanwhile?"
10584	What can I do for you?
10584	What could stop him, since I''m utterly powerless to do anything?
10584	What do you make of this thing, Tom?
10584	What do you think of it, boys?
10584	What do you think you see?
10584	What does this mystery mean?
10584	What have you found now?
10584	What is that?
10584	What makes it feel so queer at times?
10584	What ought we do, Tom?
10584	What''s happened to you?
10584	What''s that?
10584	What''s the idea of keeping so high, Lieutenant?
10584	What''s the matter now, Tom?
10584	What''s the verdict?
10584	What''s wrong here?
10584	When you have n''t the slightest thing to guide you, stars, sun, or earth, how can you tell which is up or which is down? 10584 Where is the big Martin bomber now, did you say?"
10584	Why so, Major?
10584	Why, what is the matter with you?
10584	Wonder if the old chap has got a mate around?
10584	You do n''t blame Jack, do you?
10584	You do n''t glimpse any other chance further on, do you, Jack?
10584	You doubtless know that I''ve got more money than is good for any single man to handle? 10584 You mean calculated to make every one feel timid about taking any extraordinary risk-- is that it?"
10584	You mean the notifications might arrive while we were gone?
10584	And just to think of the queer conditions of this hunt, too, will you?
10584	And who would not have been under similar conditions?
10584	Anything like a written message you would like to leave behind, to be sent in case we are never heard from again, boys?
10584	Are you planning a trip to the moon, after Jules Verne''s yarn?"
10584	Are you sure you''ve got the directions how to get to Dunkirk, and then how to find my secret hangar on the coast beyond the town, Tom?"
10584	Besides, what do ten or twenty minutes amount to?"
10584	Both of you will be free, do n''t you understand?
10584	But Jack,--""Yes, Tom?"
10584	But are the lands worth as much as it was believed, Jack?"
10584	But had n''t we better be thinking of getting out of this soft marshy tract?"
10584	But what ails you, Tom?
10584	But why do you ask that?
10584	CHAPTER IX CONVINCING PROOF"Are you sure about that?"
10584	CHAPTER XI THE AMAZING PLAN"Tell us what you mean, please?"
10584	CHAPTER XIII OFF FOR THE CHANNEL"Tom, do you think that spy left behind by my cousin could have learned in any way about our plan?"
10584	Can it be they''re being attacked by a Hun undersea boat, do you think, boys?"
10584	Can we do anything further for you right now, Lieutenant?"
10584	Can you guess why any one should wish to do either of you such a wrong as that?"
10584	Did he tell you anything that would be of interest to us?"
10584	Do n''t you see how it acts, Tom?"
10584	Do you think we''ve crossed the Channel, Lieutenant?"
10584	Does n''t she look rather serious, Tom?"
10584	Faster now grew their progress, but would the stretch of ice prove a long enough area to give them the necessary momentum?
10584	Get that, do you, Jack?"
10584	Has n''t anything been done to learn the truth, sir?"
10584	Have n''t I known you to come to the front many times when things looked very black for us?"
10584	Have you an idea-- is there yet a hope that we can get a grip on this danger, and choke it?"
10584	How am I going to beat Randolph across the Atlantic?
10584	How are you fixed, Jack?"
10584	I suppose you know they''ve got a sort of''Y''hut running back here a bit?"
10584	If you''ve a sharp knife what''s to hinder you from taking one of his claws for a trophy?"
10584	Is everything going well, Colin?"
10584	Is n''t that true?"
10584	Let''s see-- two o''clock you said, did n''t you?
10584	Must we just fold our hands, and meet our fate?"
10584	Parmly?"
10584	Ready, back there?
10584	See here, what''s this mean?
10584	So the boys picked you up, did they?
10584	Sure you examined the ground ahead, and saw to it we''d hit no bumps that might give us trouble?"
10584	Tell me, can you guess why this unknown person should want to injure you?"
10584	Then it''s our only chance; if we miss this what else could we do?"
10584	Tom, what do you say about it?"
10584	Try to guess what would happen to that monster berg if we hit head on?"
10584	Was Tom ever going to elevate the plane and attempt the rise from the flat surface of the ice?
10584	Was not the miracle- worker of a monster plane doing remarkably fine work, and should they not continue to believe the end justified the means?
10584	Was the ice floe about to break up?
10584	Well, what does it matter?"
10584	What can that mean?"
10584	What do you say, Jack?"
10584	What do you think about it, Tom?"
10584	What do you think of the plane, Tom?"
10584	What does that mean, Tom?"
10584	What had we better do?"
10584	What if it was ten minutes late?
10584	What if something happens to hold up those notices until it''s too late for even Colin''s big bomber to catch up with the steamer?"
10584	What if two thousand miles still lay between them and the goal of their hopes?
10584	What under the sun can it be?"
10584	What''s going on around here; nothing serious happened, I hope?"
10584	What''s the matter with this fine big gap?"
10584	What''s the use?
10584	What''s your big scheme, Lieutenant?"
10584	Worse than we at first thought?"
10584	You do n''t think it''s possible that could be the_ La Bretagne_, Tom?"
10584	You have n''t flunked, Tom?
10584	You''ll agree to that, wo n''t you, Jack?"
10584	but is n''t he a buster though?
10584	did you?"
10584	what''s that mean?"
10584	who''s this but my English cousin, Major Denning?"
19907	A passenger?
19907	A snake?
19907	And I suppose sometimes lose all control?
19907	And that would be bad enough for us-- if such a machine were used against us in this proposed race around the world, would n''t it?
19907	And the following evening we were at sea?'' 19907 And you think this Tom Meeks would be willing to come up here, then, and help you this winter for the salary I am paying you?"
19907	Are they quite wild?
19907	But how about the islands?
19907	But wo n''t that make us even heavier than we are now?
19907	But you, sir?
19907	Can it be--?
19907	Can the mechanism be thrown out of gear when desired? 19907 Can you prove those assertions?"
19907	Can you talk with a ground station when you''re flying, say a couple of miles high?
19907	Dad, is n''t this little thing simply a wonder?
19907	Did n''t we leave Port Darwin on the 26th?
19907	Did your father and Mr. Wrenn decide upon a date for the start?
19907	Do these blackfellows live in huts?
19907	Do they go to the fields after it themselves?
19907	Do you fellows deny these charges?
19907	Do you think, dad, that Mr. Wrenn could have been back of this theft?
19907	Do? 19907 Does this chewing of the leaves intoxicate them?"
19907	Fellows, what do you think has happened?
19907	Guess how fast we''re making it now?
19907	Has this wood ever been used in constructing full- sized airplanes?
19907	Have you fellows enough petrol and oil to last you through to your next stop?
19907	Have you put the helium- gas in these wings yet, Paul, as we planned? 19907 Have you run this pair yet?"
19907	Hif I had known--"How is that?
19907	How are you, Ross?
19907	How can a person hear_ words_ from electrical discharges?
19907	How did it happen to get you fellows?
19907	How did you know that we had an airplane like yours?
19907	How do they dress, sir?
19907	How do you make that out?
19907	How is that?
19907	How much does it weigh?
19907	How much gasoline have we got in the tanks now?
19907	How?
19907	How?
19907	I certainly do, Betty,said he;"where are you?"
19907	I expect this is a great day for you young men?
19907	I hope you''re not getting cold feet, dad?
19907	I mean, do you know what sort of a craft they are going to use, or who is going to fly against us?
19907	I suppose you need a machine for one thing?
19907	Instruments?
19907	Is Robert all right?
19907	Is n''t she a dandy, dad?
19907	Is the transmitter or receiver made just like the ordinary kind?
19907	It looks a lot like that fellow who got out of the taxi back there by our house; I wonder what he''s up to, anyhow?
19907	It wo n''t do any harm, will it? 19907 It''s just a little bit too high to suit your exalted monkeyship, is n''t it?"
19907	Not on the machine?
19907	Oh, that''s too bad, now, ai n''t it?
19907	Oh, you are, are you?
19907	Ready?
19907	Say, Paul, did you see the way that swarthy- faced chap used that little girl?
19907	Say, son, is n''t this as good a time as any to try out the merits of that wireless''phone of yours? 19907 That your plane over there?"
19907	Then I suppose these sound- waves, in other words the words one speaks, run out of the end of these wires into the atmosphere?
19907	They ought to; did n''t they arrive ahead of us?
19907	This is rather hard on us, is n''t it, boys?
19907	Tom, if that monster should begin to slip a little most likely he will coil his tail around some of our control wires,--and then what?
19907	Well, but how about Paul and me, dad?
19907	Well, then, he could use our plans and make and sell airplanes of their pattern, could n''t he?
19907	Were they in the cabin?
19907	What causes the air to act in this way over such configurations?
19907	What did he say?
19907	What did you have those stones on board for?
19907	What do you suppose is the matter, John?
19907	What do you use for power to turn this propeller?
19907	What is it, anyway?
19907	What is that?
19907	What is this?
19907	What made your crew so slow, Deveaux? 19907 What now?"
19907	What sets it going?
19907	What shall we do?
19907	What sort of material is her frame made of?
19907	What were those fellows doing up there?
19907	What''s the matter here, anyhow?
19907	What''s the matter with you, Buddy?
19907	What''s your remedy?
19907	When we get the Sky- Bird II done, why could n''t the three of us pick out a new course around the globe in her? 19907 Where is this machine now?"
19907	Who is in charge of it?
19907	Who would have thought such a thing? 19907 Why accuse me of anything like this?"
19907	Why ca n''t we trail a rope for him to catch?
19907	Why do n''t you tell me something I do n''t know?
19907	Why is a helmet required at all?
19907	Why not try a loop or two?
19907	Why should it seem impossible?
19907	Why, do n''t you recognize the products of your talented son, dad?
19907	Why, what''s the matter, John?
19907	Wo n''t they take you on again soon, John?
19907	Would it make a difference if you flew faster than that?
19907	Would n''t this glass break in a hailstorm?
19907	You own up that yesterday was the 27th, do n''t you?
19907	After they were seated, Mr. Giddings brought forth the tentative draft, studied it a few moments, and then asked:"What is your fuel capacity, boys?"
19907	Again, suppose we wished to fly continuously more than twelve hours?
19907	And what''s that up here in front on top of the cabin?
19907	And, after all, what else matters?
19907	At the end of the explanation, he put the papers back in the envelope, and asked:"Have you another set of these drawings in ink, Paul?"
19907	Bob ventured to say:"I wonder how the gorilla came to be awake and to attack us this way?"
19907	But here is another thing which occurs to me: Have you based your time of arrival and leaving at each port upon local time or New York time?"
19907	But suppose this should fail, as any motor might do?
19907	But we do n''t expect to have that trouble in this enclosed cabin and with this new muffler working, do we, fellows?"
19907	CHAPTER VII WHO''S AT THE WINDOW?
19907	CHAPTER VIII THE SKY- BIRD II"Well, Mr. Giddings, what do you think of Sky- Bird II?"
19907	Can you work it from this height?"
19907	Did you ever see the like?"
19907	Did you get wet in that rain last night and have to stop off and dry out your clothes?"
19907	Do n''t let anybody meddle with it, will you?"
19907	Do n''t you know you are_ eating_?--that you have guests here who are also_ eating_?"
19907	First, why was this contest called by its promoters an"Air Derby"?
19907	From whence did you get these mileages?"
19907	Giddings?"
19907	Have n''t you any fuel here for us?"
19907	Have you lost your head in your interest in this subject?
19907	He now changed the subject by asking:"How much do you suppose this machine weighs?"
19907	He--""What is this young man''s name?"
19907	How are you, Robert?"
19907	How had their rivals fared?
19907	How in the world could they effect the hapless flyer''s rescue?
19907	How long has that other crew been in, sir?"
19907	I wish to know if you really think you could operate this machine steadily night and day, say for a couple of weeks, stopping only for fuel and food?"
19907	I wonder what in the dickens he really is up to?"
19907	Is it something new?"
19907	Is that right?"
19907	Is the Sky- Bird supplied with gasoline?"
19907	Is this the plane that you fellows representing the_ Daily Independent_ are going to fly in?"
19907	Is this your invention, young men?"
19907	It must be an out- and- out fair race, do you understand?"
19907	Let me see; you allow yourselves three hours''stop at each airport; will that be long enough?"
19907	Mr. Giddings now heard a voice-- the voice of his own daughter-- asking quite distinctly:"Do you hear me, daddie?"
19907	Please do n''t go too high or too far, daddie, will you?"
19907	Put your machine up yet?"
19907	She acts groggy; do n''t you notice it?"
19907	That is the Ecuadorean point of view, and who shall say it is a bad one?
19907	The other three flyers knew the importance of these instructions, but how were they to carry them out?
19907	Their weight broke the catch off of the glass trap, and they went through before we could stop them; did n''t they, guys?"
19907	Then his face clouded a little darker, and he blurted out to his men:"You confounded babies, why do n''t you deny it?
19907	Then, turning to the Ross brothers, he observed:"Do you think, boys, that these features could be successfully applied to a full- sized airplane?"
19907	What could it mean?
19907	What could they do now?
19907	What could they do?
19907	What more do you want, Paul?"
19907	What shall we do about it?"
19907	When at last he could find his voice he asked, anxiously:"Can Bob control her all right now?"
19907	When will she be ready to test out?"
19907	Where are you now?"
19907	Where is your sense of propriety?
19907	Which one was it?
19907	Who will be the first to establish one?
19907	Why do n''t you watch where you are going?"
19907	Why does it not organize an expedition, and prove its claim?
19907	Why should the_ Clarion''s_ crew remain so long in Colombo, when their interests in the race demanded as much time put into flying as possible?
19907	Why, what is the matter?
19907	Will you ever pardon me for this transgression of etiquette?"
19907	With such strong encouragement, is it any wonder that the three young men continued their operations vigorously?
19907	Wo n''t that be great?"
19907	Wonder what on earth they intend to do with those?"
19907	Would he act guilty?
19907	Would they reach it ahead of their rivals?
19907	Would they reach it within their schedule of ten days?
19907	broke in Bob anxiously;"are n''t we going to have anything to do?"
19907	cried our friends in unison, while Bob exploded:"But, dad, just how do you figure this out?"
19907	had all of the others been drowned?
19907	how are you, Giddings?
19907	will I ever forget how frightened those blacks were?"
45549	A crab?
45549	All O.K.?
45549	All O.K.?
45549	All quiet on the front?
45549	Any idea where they go?
45549	Any more turkey''s stolen, Uncle Norman?
45549	Any rocks or islands near?
45549	Any special reason?
45549	Anyone in our cots?
45549	Anything I can do to help?
45549	Are they all right, Aunt Belle?
45549	Are they laying for him?
45549	Are we here?
45549	Are you getting enough to eat, Bob?
45549	Begun to wish you had brought your rubbers?
45549	Bob? 45549 Burnam left?"
45549	Can I get something to eat here?
45549	Can you run a plane?
45549	Did they get it back?
45549	Did you do all that this morning?
45549	Did you drop a little box here?
45549	Did you get any sleep back there?
45549	Did your Aunt think we had flown to the bottom of the lake?
45549	Do all these peddlers have wagons like that?
45549	Do you get dizzy easily, that is, does it make you sick to your stomach when you get on a high place and look over?
45549	Do you have to send them back?
45549	Do you know where your uncle is working?
45549	Does he pick up American goods to take back?
45549	Does he seem to be doing it, Uncle Norman?
45549	Does it get much higher than it is now?
45549	Enjoy your dinner?
45549	Ever been up in a plane, sir?
45549	Going to have a look about Isle La Motte?
45549	Gosh, Buddy, remember that story of the brothers who watched the smoke go up the chimney?
45549	Got enough gas?
45549	Got good locks?
45549	Got something on your mind besides your cap?
45549	Great guns-- oh, what happened to Pedro?
45549	Have many raids like that?
45549	Have we been dreaming, or_ did_ we come back from Burlington in the teeth of a rip- snorting gale?
45549	He can the English speak?
45549	Hey, what the blazes do you think you''re doing?
45549	Hezzy?
45549	How about your own umbrella?
45549	How are you, Burley? 45549 How did those old boys ever get anywhere or have time to do anything?"
45549	How did you chaps discover this bunch?
45549	How did you like Hezzy?
45549	How do you explain the title, Bradshaw?
45549	How do you like flying, Uncle Norman?
45549	How long has he been coming?
45549	How long would it take you to get me to Burlington?
45549	How many demerits did they give you?
45549	How soon are you starting?
45549	How''s Pat?
45549	I got them here all right,he muttered,"But how can I get them away?
45549	I say, Buddy, did you hear anyone call?
45549	I say, did n''t you have enough of it?
45549	I say, is n''t that a light over there on Fisher''s?
45549	I say, what are you thinking about? 45549 If we land on the water will that be all right for you, can you get to your place easily?"
45549	Intend to eat sparingly?
45549	Is he a Vermonter, Uncle Norman?
45549	Is n''t your aunt the woman who raises such a flock of turkeys?
45549	Is that a threat or a promise?
45549	Is that for the cattle?
45549	Is that you, Norman?
45549	Is that you, boys?
45549	Is this place near enough?
45549	It ai n''t Bob?
45549	It is good?
45549	It''s O. K.,answered Bob, then added,"See that road?"
45549	Jimmm?
45549	Know anything about cars?
45549	Let''s get some clothes on, I ca n''t sleep any more, can you?
45549	Like to go up again?
45549	Little Greaser?
45549	Looks as if it''s working all right, does n''t it?
45549	Maybe, but holy hoofs, what''s this kid doing it for?
45549	My goodness, boys, what on earth did he do?
45549	Need any assistance, boys?
45549	Need any help?
45549	No doubt, but I hope Her Highness does n''t do any more--"More?
45549	No?
45549	Now, how do you expect to eat your meal if you talk so much? 45549 Now, keep your shirt on, ca n''t you?
45549	Of course not, Bob, but where will you sleep?
45549	Same ones all the time?
45549	Say Jim, know what this makes me think of, these people I mean?
45549	Say, Buddy, suppose we''ll ever be lucky enough to meet that kid again?
45549	Say, know what that looks like?
45549	Say, what''s your rush?
45549	Say, where''s that Carrying Point?
45549	Shall I get in now, Jim?
45549	She does n''t look much like the paper bags they made their first experiments with, does she?
45549	Spot anything, Buddy?
45549	Suppose they can climb up that wall?
45549	Sure Hezzy is n''t putting his own brand on them?
45549	Think there is room-- I mean think it''s wide enough so we can get into it without smashing the wings?
45549	Thunder and Mars, why did n''t you let me do part of it?
45549	Thundering rattlers, is he the thief?
45549	Want me to pilot, old man?
45549	Want to build a fire and toast some of these marshmallows?
45549	Want to have a look at him?
45549	Want to look around now?
45549	We want a basket again, do n''t we? 45549 Well, I say, where does this Burnam come in?"
45549	Well, go on and search me if you want to, you half- baked nut--"I say, how do you get that way?
45549	Well, how''s the tooth, Aunt Belle?
45549	Well, you lads get a good look at Vermont?
45549	Were you frightened during the storm?
45549	What did they do that for?
45549	What do you make of that?
45549	What do you mean?
45549	What do you think you''re doing?
45549	What in heck are they up to?
45549	What is the boy doing with the mud hole?
45549	What sort of chap is he, about your size?
45549	What the heck can we do?
45549	What the heck is he doing?
45549	What you American kids doing here anyway? 45549 What you doing here anyway?"
45549	What''ll we do with Her Highness? 45549 What''s all the shouting about?"
45549	What''s eating you besides the man''s looks and his reception of us the other day?
45549	What''s the matter with her?
45549	What''s the matter?
45549	What?
45549	Where did you learn to do that?
45549	Where they stopping?
45549	Who is Her Highness?
45549	Who is it?
45549	Why do n''t you go back above the shore?
45549	Why put fish in, do they expect to raise sardines?
45549	Will he mind if we go closer?
45549	Will the plane carry three of us?
45549	Will you answer it? 45549 Would it be too much trouble for you to take me?"
45549	Yes, I know you did--"And did n''t you enjoy air traveling?
45549	Yes, but how the blazes do you expect to pick up the trail in Canada?
45549	Yes, now, is this right? 45549 You can come down on the water to speak to the men we''ll have there?"
45549	You covered up?
45549	You never did cotton up to Hezzy did you?
45549	You want the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
45549	A book of bed- time stories?"
45549	And is n''t he the grand lad for keeping his eyes open and his wits about him?"
45549	Anything left in that basket?"
45549	Are they good?"
45549	Can you understand that?"
45549	Come along-- that is-- is there anything we can do to help you, sir?"
45549	Could you drop food to them?"
45549	Did Bradshaw tell you that it was fitted up like a war- time trench, with living quarters, periscopes and what- not?"
45549	Did n''t we slide down on the lightning the other day?"
45549	Did you hear your Aunt say whether the turkeys are dying off because of the dampness?"
45549	Did you know, Fenton, that the Carrying Point is covered?
45549	Do n''t we want to go up tomorrow?
45549	Do these storms last very long?"
45549	Do you know that out- post right on the line?"
45549	Do you think that pair are batty?"
45549	Fenton?"
45549	Got a permit a fly into Canada?"
45549	Got plenty of gas?
45549	Great job, is n''t it?"
45549	How about it, light meat or dark, Jim?"
45549	How are your air- legs, wobbly?"
45549	How did you boys happen to get that man and his folks?
45549	How did you happen to be out there?"
45549	How did you happen to come down right here just as those lads were getting funny?"
45549	How did you happen to get into the scrap?"
45549	How did you like the ride?"
45549	How do you like air traveling?"
45549	How do you like air- traveling, Uncle Norman?"
45549	How will you let us know if you receive it O.K.?"
45549	I say, did you happen to notice the number of that limousine?
45549	I''ll make a hitch here, so you''ll come just under me--""Sure that will hold us both?"
45549	If it was all right, what the heck did he dodge us for?"
45549	Is it usually so?"
45549	Is she all right, or has something gone wrong with her?"
45549	Is that what Burnam''s after?"
45549	Is that what you do when you have a good meal at home?"
45549	Is the house afloat?"
45549	Is the water very rough?"
45549	It ends in a rock cliff about a half mile below here?"
45549	Jim?"
45549	Know what he reminds me of, Bob?"
45549	Know what that means?"
45549	Know where that is?"
45549	Now, can you get her out of this trap?"
45549	Put her under arrest?"
45549	Remember how long it is?"
45549	Remember the day we were coming up and you noticed a neck of land, lake on both sides, that connected the two larger sections of North Hero?"
45549	Right?"
45549	Run along, old boy-- don''t you know your onions, or have n''t you got any this load?"
45549	Savvy?"
45549	Say, Jim did you notice the lake when we got home?"
45549	Say, Jim, what do you suppose he is?"
45549	See those fellows?"
45549	Suppose your aunt would mind letting us take a lunch to eat in the air, or some nice place we pick out?"
45549	That voice sounded as if it''s a little north, did n''t you think so?"
45549	There is n''t any harm in trying to make friends with the boy, but I wouldn''t--""Butt- in?
45549	They both told us to have a good time, and helping you looks to me like a good time--""Besides, what would we risk?
45549	Want to know the readings back here?"
45549	We have an extra helmet--""Shall I need rubbers?"
45549	We were all at our place--""And Bob was to be sent to school?"
45549	Well, we ca n''t lose all your aunt''s baskets and expect her to pack grub stakes for us, can we?"
45549	What are you doing here and what have you got a green cover on your bus for?
45549	What are you doing here?
45549	What are you smuggling in that car?"
45549	What day is it?"
45549	What do you do with strangers?"
45549	What do you know about that?"
45549	What do you think?"
45549	What do you want to do over here?"
45549	What do_ you_ think of him?"
45549	What shall we do with them?"
45549	What sort of crab do you think she is?"
45549	Where can we take you?"
45549	Where in blazes is Pedro?"
45549	Where was I?"
45549	Why do n''t they have a good warm place to keep them when the weather is had?"
45549	Why not have one of the men help him in what he is doing?
45549	Will that help?"
45549	Wonder if there was anything the matter with them when they arrived, or if some one over there did n''t want watch dogs?"
45549	Would n''t that ravine down there be a corker place for bootleggers or smugglers to go sneaking from one side to the other?
45549	You boys seen enough to satisfy you for the time being?"
45549	You do n''t mind, do you?"
45549	You look after your end here--""Well, I''ve been looking after my end, but blast it all, how can I keep the gang-- ten new ones, under cover?
45549	You want to drive?"
45549	Your pa was all spruced up-- and the next year they were in Texas--""You boys coming?"
46656	About Smith-- the mail flyer?
46656	Alone?
46656	And was it you who flew over in the helicopter, out of the swamp, and tried to drive us out of control with rockets?
46656	And what did I do that for?
46656	And what did I get to guard us against spooks?
46656	And what of it?
46656	And what was''what?''
46656	And you found it, in a pilots''locker-- whose?
46656	Are you just doing it to try and save this mail flyer?
46656	Besides a drawing of an airplane-- what could it be, I wonder?
46656	But how could he get away?
46656	But how do you know?
46656	But how does that help?
46656	But what about the map?
46656	But what did he use it for-- and how did he use it?
46656	But what is a helicopter doing over the swamp?
46656	But who can they be after?
46656	But why should he hide it in the swamp, and need it at all? 46656 But-- was that still the shadow of the spook''plane, that I just saw?"
46656	C- can''t you-- Scott, ca n''t you t- turn and go out on the bay?
46656	Ca n''t Garry and Chick go along?
46656	Called himself Morgan-- let''s see----"''Doc''Morgan?
46656	Can he climb away in time?
46656	Can you lift me up, make a''back''for me, do you think?
46656	Can you?
46656	Clever, is n''t it?
46656	Could n''t he?
46656	Did he say who was calling?
46656	Did you ever fly a helicopter before?
46656	Did you find anybody-- see anything?
46656	Did you hear a shout?
46656	Did you notice how that Thing looked while Chick''s flare burned?
46656	Did you telephone-- and get the answer we expected?
46656	Do n''t you think this''A''and the figure''one''might help?
46656	Do you happen to recall that pirates used to sail in brigantines, and such- like ships? 46656 Do you see how taking this tracing fits in with the spectre in the sky?"
46656	Do you suppose it could be help-- for us?
46656	Do you?
46656	Doc, you''re pretty interested in that, are n''t you? 46656 Doc-- Mr. Vance-- has anything been done about the Dart?"
46656	Does that helicopter have anything to do with the mystery?
46656	Ever read the''Proceedings''and other books of the Society for Psychical Research?
46656	Feel all good?
46656	Garry!--where did Chick go?
46656	Get him?
46656	Going back?
46656	Has Doc come back?
46656	Have you any other clues? 46656 How about another test, from the inner end of the roll?"
46656	How about doing this?
46656	How about it, Garry? 46656 How about some football tactics?"
46656	How can it help that I know about streamlining the body, and the struts, and even the flying wires?
46656	How can you say you are n''t a traitor?
46656	How did he know?
46656	How did you know I had troubles?
46656	How do you know?
46656	How was he''all wrong?''
46656	How was that so''wrong?''
46656	How?
46656	I can tell you that you will be getting close to trouble if you start accusing me----"What''s all the excitement this time?
46656	I can-- but how does Scott pick up the mail?
46656	I have-- but how did you know that?
46656	I suppose you think he''d have everything standing right out for everybody to see?
46656	I wonder what for?
46656	I''m glad you came, after all-- aren''t you?
46656	If it is n''t an airplane-- what is it?
46656	In that queer light, and with your minds keyed up to expect something----"But how would it help if that did explain the spook tonight? 46656 Is it one mystery-- or two?"
46656	Is that so?
46656	Is there a place near where they can take care of this pilot?
46656	It was just put in the fixing bath-- how do you know the fumes of the chemicals in the smoke bomb did n''t ruin it-- stain it or fog it?
46656	John,asked Garry,"what do these mean?
46656	Mr. Tew, did you see anything-- hear anything?
46656	Notice anything odd about it?
46656	Now-- how?
46656	Old Ti- O- Ga? 46656 One thing?
46656	Or the blue- print Chick made-- that had some sort of complicated figures on it--"Where is it-- where is either one?
46656	See anything, Garry? 46656 Sort of spooky, hey?
46656	Sup-- supposing it is n''t a h- human being?
46656	Suppose that hair- brained nephew of yours decides to''put on his act''just as it is coming in?
46656	Then how did you know, Garry? 46656 Think we can make it?"
46656	Un-- film that has n''t been exposed?
46656	Was it sheet lightning?
46656	Was that a step?
46656	Well, now, you do, do you? 46656 Well, then-- where shall we look next?"
46656	What are you doing that for?
46656	What did they decide?
46656	What did you do about it?
46656	What did you find?
46656	What did you mean by saying you thought we were the ones who had stolen a map?
46656	What did you mean by throwing that smoke flare in on us?
46656	What did you tell him?
46656	What do you want this crate for, then? 46656 What had he lost?
46656	What happened?
46656	What has happened on four successive Friday nights, around Mystery Airport?
46656	What has struck you?
46656	What have you got in the way of evidence, clues or proofs?
46656	What in the world?
46656	What made you blow out the lantern?
46656	What morning is this?
46656	What of it?
46656	What was I to do with it?
46656	What will we find on the ground?
46656	What''s going on?
46656	What''s it all about?
46656	What''s that, you got there?
46656	What''s that?
46656	What''s the matter?
46656	What''s this?
46656	Where are we?
46656	Where is it coming from?
46656	Where you think you find?
46656	Where? 46656 White wings or red?"
46656	Who was he?
46656	Who was that?
46656	Who would know better than a Morgan?
46656	Who''ll go with me?
46656	Who''s there?
46656	Why did he have only the least important plan-- the sketch? 46656 Why do n''t you tell him to dive?"
46656	Why not come up in the Dragonfly, and let Don fly the Dart, too?
46656	Why not try again?
46656	Why?
46656	Why?
46656	Why?
46656	Why?
46656	Will red wings get away from white wings?
46656	Wo n''t the idiot ever give up?
46656	Would n''t it be odd if my study of airplane design had some good effect in clearing up our mysteries?
46656	Yes-- and there''s a man''s shout-- hear him?
46656	Yes-- and what was last night?
46656	You and Don got lost, did n''t you?
46656	You do? 46656 You feel like walk?"
46656	You find?
46656	You know what sort of crime that is? 46656 You like rest?"
46656	You mean by showing what we had clipped out of the film?
46656	You mean-- Smith?
46656	And how could your father help him locate anything?"
46656	And the other ships-- had they dived, fallen?
46656	And what for?
46656	And with that he added a third mystery-- or did n''t he?
46656	Besides-- where will we get the light?"
46656	But how-- and by whom?"
46656	But one thing Mother did tell us--""What?"
46656	But what was he doing there, in the supposably untenanted boat shack?
46656	But where does he get his light?"
46656	But where is the control room crew, and the hangar man, and Doc, and-- Chick?"
46656	But-- that old one is smart-- only--- why would they haunt the swamp, around here?
46656	CHAPTER IX ONE MYSTERY-- OR TWO?
46656	Ca n''t Don take her aloft?
46656	Ca n''t he fly the mail?"
46656	Chick bent down,"''Doc''--are you hurt?"
46656	Did n''t the culprit walk into the trap?"
46656	Did they echo with such caution because they belonged to a guilty body?
46656	Did you recover-- the film?"
46656	Don, will you and Garry help me to my boarding place?
46656	For what?
46656	For what?"
46656	Garry pushed past the crowd assembling around Don and Chick,"Don, do you hear what they''re saying in the crowd?"
46656	Had Vance made up all that story?
46656	Had it been forced to settle there?
46656	Had someone picked the lock?
46656	Had something struck the hovel?
46656	Had the"other man"come?
46656	He had cheated, falsified his errand, imposed on my mother''s good nature----""Just a minute,"Scott broke in,"who told you he was coming in?"
46656	He had it under some other papers----""Was he sure he remembered just how it had been left?"
46656	He said he was a mail pilot, and he gave the name----""What?"
46656	He would n''t want other pilots coming along to catch him flying to and fro-- but, at that-- how would he know what to look for-- and where?"
46656	How about it?"
46656	How about the shadow?"
46656	How does he know anything, and what does old Ti know?"
46656	How''d you get them?"
46656	How, he proposed, could a man in a helicopter throw a picture on a cloud without being seen?
46656	I do n''t suppose you searched the boathouse thoroughly-- or the helicopter, maybe?"
46656	I guess it got mixed up with the regular stuff and was brought in here-- but how did it get to the swamps?"
46656	If so, he thought, for what purpose?
46656	In any maneuver they could execute, Don wondered, what would that Thing do?
46656	In the name of all- possessed, though, who would of come up through my trap door with oilskins and green rubber gloves and a bathing cap on?
46656	Is that so?"
46656	It do n''t mean a thing, does it?"
46656	Let''s have a look, what do you say?"
46656	Let''s see it again, eh?"
46656	Now, I like spooks!---""Yes?"
46656	Or, Don wondered, was Chick himself in danger?
46656	Or, were they but the phantoms of over- stimulated imagination?
46656	Or-- did someone keep it there?
46656	See how the shore curves in and out-- and the beginnings of Crab Channel and the other smaller inlets?"
46656	Should he go back, or go on and get the blue- print?
46656	Showing a light-- who are you?"
46656	The Indian!--had he put something in the cocoa?
46656	The airport?
46656	Then you saw it?"
46656	They ought to be kept in a locker, anyway-- like the others----""What others?"
46656	Want to know what I dug up?"
46656	Was it he who had played ghost?
46656	Was that queerly disguised tracery of lines more than an airplane design?
46656	Were they hesitating?
46656	What are the other two doing?"
46656	What are you doing in my boathouse?"
46656	What did he want to find?
46656	What is it-- besides a sketch of a new aircraft?"
46656	What made you turn on us?"
46656	What proved you did n''t project it?"
46656	What shall we do?"
46656	What then?
46656	What were you doing at the airport, just before the film was stolen from our young friends?
46656	What''s that, Doc?"
46656	What''s to prove this is a picture of our swamp?
46656	When do you''spring''the advertising part, eh, Toby?"
46656	Where are the others?"
46656	Where did that searchlight beam come from?
46656	Where had the mystery ship gone?
46656	Where''s the Dart?"
46656	Which one?"
46656	Who could be so mean?
46656	Who had it?
46656	Who''s in there?"
46656	Why had that coppery face shown astonishment?
46656	Why was it there at all?
46656	Why?
46656	Wo n''t the steamship company give us another trial?"
46656	Would n''t that be awful?"
46656	Would there be a crash?
46656	You do n''t say?
46656	You got it back, anyhow, so what''s the odds how it went?
46656	You sleep, huh?"
46656	You think you read that traced chart?
46656	croaked the figure,"who else?"
46656	he asked himself,"or what can I make of wing- taper, and camber, and all that?"
46656	he exclaimed to himself,"I wonder if there are any more of those plans in the drawer of that table?
46656	he wondered,"and where did it come from?"
46656	muttered Don,"did you see what I saw?"
33834	A sub- calibre?
33834	A''dud''?
33834	All aboard?
33834	Americans? 33834 And can you tell from what sort of gun it comes?"
33834	And do you believe we actually saw the giant cannon being fired at Paris?
33834	And do you mean they''re using this explosive in the big German gun?
33834	And have you seen them since they came to Paris?
33834	And is it true that it does n''t fire at night because the Germans are afraid the flashes will be seen?
33834	And not go back into the country?
33834	And not take our relief?
33834	And now, have you heard anything about--"Bessie and her mother?
33834	And what is going to be done about it?
33834	And yet,mused Tom, as he looked at the rescue work going on,"what other explanation is there?
33834	And you have some, too?
33834	And you say he''s on his way to Paris now?
33834	And you think we have a chance?
33834	And you want, do you, to go together?
33834	Annoyed? 33834 Any luck?"
33834	Any more bombs left, Jack?
33834	Are any others going to be in the game?
33834	Are my eyes seeing things, or is that another Caudron looming up there, the last in the line? 33834 Are n''t we doing anything at all?"
33834	Are we all here?
33834	Are we going after more big cannon?
33834	Are you going right to the Rue Lafayette?
33834	Are you ready?
33834	But do n''t you think he looks like a German?
33834	But first you can tell me what the special news is, ca n''t you?
33834	But how are we going to find it?
33834	But if it''s a gun, where could it be placed?
33834	But say, wo n''t that spy be on the watch, and wo n''t he learn from the taxicab driver where we have gone?
33834	But still do n''t you think the French will have to do something toward silencing the gun?
33834	But was my father in the building at the time the shell struck here?
33834	But what are you going to do about it?
33834	But what brings you to Paris?
33834	But what do you say to taking a taxi? 33834 But what does all this mean?"
33834	But what has that to do with our going over the Rhine?
33834	But what is it you want us to do, if it is n''t trying to trail the spy?
33834	But what is it?
33834	But when are we going to be allowed to do something to silence that monster cannon?
33834	But where is it?
33834	But why?
33834	But your father?
33834	But, man, how else could it be?
33834	Ca n''t we go up?
33834	Can it be done?
33834	Can it be that for which we are seeking?
33834	Can you tell me?
33834	Coming back? 33834 Danger in Paris?
33834	Did you get any photographs of the big gun?
33834	Did you see that?
33834	Did you see what happened?
33834	Do you know him?
33834	Do you know what number your father was to stop at?
33834	Do you mean if it was dropped from an airship it would n''t have any rifling grooves on it?
33834	Do you mean to say within ten or fifteen miles of Paris?
33834	Do you mean we have to do something to help catch this spy?
33834	Do you mean we''re to go in separate machines, or together?
33834	Do you suppose we''ll get a chance?
33834	Do you understand?
33834	Does he know where they are?
33834	Does he mean our rations have gone short, and that we''ll have to go collecting bolognas?
33834	Even capable of eating that dinner you claim to have won from me?
33834	Explosive bullets, are they?
33834	Great? 33834 Had n''t we better arrange for hotel accommodations, or to stop at a pension?"
33834	Have the aviators done anything toward trying to find the gun?
33834	Have we won a victory over the Germans?
33834	Have you been able to get any idea of the kind of gun it is, or why it fires at fifteen minute intervals?
33834	Have you been annoyed since you have been here?
33834	Have you had any reports of the bombarding of Paris this evening?
33834	He is? 33834 Hear what who said?"
33834	How about it, Tom?
33834	How did it all happen?
33834	How do you know?
33834	How do you make it, Tom?
33834	How does that strike you? 33834 How goes it?"
33834	How long ago was it?
33834	How long would it take a shell to reach Paris, fired at a distance of eighty miles from the city?
33834	How soon can we start on-- on this mission?
33834	How was that?
33834	How?
33834	I do n''t want to crawl down into a cellar or a subway quite yet, even if there''s one around here; do you?
33834	I have? 33834 I mean how can the monster cannon be silenced?"
33834	I suppose you''ll make another attempt to find your father?
33834	I wonder if there is any chance of us getting in at the game?
33834	I wonder what dad thinks of this?
33834	I wonder what sort of explosive they are using? 33834 If you get out, is there a chance for you to get away in your aircraft?"
33834	In it? 33834 In the one that was destroyed?"
33834	Is he dead?
33834	Is he dead?
33834	Is it an airship raid?
33834	Is it really you, Tom, my boy?
33834	Is it still shooting?
33834	Is the big gun firing?
33834	Is there any chance of being made prisoners?
33834	Is there any news?
33834	Is there room for me?
33834	Jack, did you notice the peculiar colored lights away to the north of where we were flying?
33834	Know him? 33834 No?"
33834	Not even flashes of fire?
33834	Now I wonder what he could have meant by that?
33834	On us?
33834	Our friends?
33834	Over the Rhine?
33834	Say, it''s working out mighty queer, is n''t it, Tom?
33834	Say, what do you think I am?
33834	Say, you know a lot about this business, do n''t you?
33834	See what I mean, Jack?
33834	Strong enough? 33834 The Germans have n''t broken through, have they?"
33834	Then you still hold to the airship theory?
33834	Think they''ll let us?
33834	Think we''ll have a chance to see anything of the bombardment?
33834	Through our lines about Paris? 33834 To meet us?"
33834	Was the man you speak of familiar to you?
33834	Well, Jack, old man, how do you feel?
33834	Well, how about you now?
33834	Well, now that you have decided it is a big German gun, the next question is, where is it and what are you going to do about it?
33834	Well, then you did not discover anything?
33834	Well, what about him?
33834	Well, what are we going to do?
33834	Well, what''s on the programme for to- day, Tom?
33834	Well?
33834	What are you going to do, Tom?
33834	What becomes of the outer?
33834	What did he say?
33834	What do you think?
33834	What for?
33834	What happened?
33834	What is it? 33834 What is it?
33834	What is it?
33834	What is it?
33834	What is it?
33834	What luck?
33834	What say, Tom? 33834 What''s he saying?"
33834	What''s that, Tom?
33834	What''s the game?
33834	What''s the idea of hurry?
33834	What''s the matter with him?
33834	What''s the matter?
33834	What''s the other thing, old top?
33834	What?
33834	What?
33834	When are they going to stop? 33834 Where are you going?"
33834	Where are you going?
33834	Where would it be from then?
33834	Where''s Jack?
33834	Who is it?
33834	Who says so?
33834	Who speaks?
33834	Who would you say it was?
33834	Why did n''t you wait for me?
33834	Why in the world would he want such a thing as that?
33834	Why not?
33834	Why not?
33834	Why would n''t he dare to, Tom?
33834	Why, you old sphinx?
33834	Will it be safe to talk there?
33834	With--_him?_asked Tom, and there was a peculiar smile on his face.
33834	Yes? 33834 Yes?
33834	You do n''t mean he carried a long- range gun in his pocket, do you, Jack?
33834	You have a letter? 33834 You mean about a victory?"
33834	You mean the German spy?
33834	You mean the orange colored flare, that turned to green and then to purple?
33834	You mean your brother?
33834	And so are you, are n''t you, Dad?"
33834	And so you think you heard this fellow speak German?"
33834	And ten of''em went out last night, did n''t they?"
33834	And yet how could the Germans get near enough to bombard Paris without some word of it coming in?"
33834	Are you sure of the sequence of the colors?"
33834	But are you sure of what you say, Jack?"
33834	But do you know him too, Bessie?"
33834	But first tell me-- have you had any news of your father?"
33834	But is n''t that great German gun terrible?
33834	But say, do you remember that fellow we saw in the train-- the one I thought was a German spy?"
33834	But tell me-- what of the big guns?"
33834	But what about your father?"
33834	But what are we going to do about our spy?"
33834	But what are you going to do about it?"
33834	But what do you suppose his new mission is?"
33834	But where are we going to drop''em?"
33834	CHAPTER VIII WHERE IS MR. RAYMOND?
33834	CHAPTER XV THE PICKED SQUADRON"All ready, Jack?"
33834	Can you count them yet?
33834	Can you throw those grenades at the gate?"
33834	Could they do it?
33834	Did you come down safely?"
33834	Did you have a good look at him?"
33834	Did you know I was here?"
33834	Do n''t you see that fellow''s suspicious of us?
33834	Do n''t you think it would be wise to wait, Mother?"
33834	Do you hear?"
33834	Do you know where Mrs. Gleason and Bessie went in response to this forged note?"
33834	Do you see him again?"
33834	Gleason you want to see?"
33834	Gleason?"
33834	Gleason?"
33834	Got plenty of ammunition drums?"
33834	Have any of our crowd found a way out of this place by any chance?"
33834	Have n''t you heard from Bessie lately?"
33834	Have you found anything unhealthful here?"
33834	How have you been?"
33834	How''s your hand?"
33834	How''s yourself?"
33834	How?"
33834	I believe that is another of your captivating terms?"
33834	I win, do you understand?"
33834	I wonder if he can make a good landing?
33834	I wonder what it means?"
33834	I wonder where it fell?"
33834	I wonder why that is?"
33834	I wonder why they''re keeping us here?"
33834	I''ll be happy also, to see our friends again, but I know Bessie will consider--""Oh, drop it, will you?"
33834	If he''s alive why does n''t he send me some word?
33834	If you get out can you get away in your airship?"
33834	Is that you?"
33834	Is the French government going to give him a big order for his stabilizer, now that we got that paper away from that sneak of a Tuessig?"
33834	It asked:"Are you American, French or English prisoners?"
33834	Nothing to do?
33834	Now do you want to go look at the latest work of the Hun?"
33834	Oh, do you think the boys are here yet?"
33834	Oh, where''s our cellar, Jack?"
33834	Say, is n''t that great?"
33834	Tell me,"he went on,"are you and your mother going to board here?"
33834	The same thought was in the mind of each one: Had Mr. Raymond arrived safely?
33834	Then Tom realized the futility of his question, for was not Jack there in the flesh?
33834	Then you accept the mission?"
33834	To fight?"
33834	Understand?"
33834	Want to come along?"
33834	We''ll take that on, wo n''t we?"
33834	Well, boys, did I surprise you?"
33834	What about him?
33834	What do you make it out to be?"
33834	What do you mean, Tom?"
33834	What do you mean?"
33834	What do you say to a run into Paris to see your father?
33834	What has happened?"
33834	What time did the first, or any particular shell, arrive?
33834	What''s the matter?"
33834	Where''d that shell fall?"
33834	Where?"
33834	Who knows?
33834	Why did n''t you give it to me before?
33834	Would it succeed?
33834	Would they ever reach it?
33834	You can be packed soon, I suppose?"
33834	You''re to be in general charge of the navigation of the plane, and I''m to see to dropping the bombs-- is that it?"
33834	asked Jack,"And that we really saw it being fired?"
33834	exclaimed Jack, with such energy that Tom asked:"What''s the matter?
33834	he suddenly exclaimed, his face paling slightly,"you do n''t suppose they have broken through, do you?"
33834	we''ve almost come to disregard such mild things as that from the Huns, have n''t we?"
33834	what did I tell you?
33834	what would n''t I give to be able to be up in the air with those boys now?"
10599	''Oo cares for the bloomin''''eathen? 10599 A tiger in the Arctic?"
10599	A tiger?
10599	A wolf?
10599	All life belts on?
10599	And the Province, the Red Riders?
10599	And the company?
10599	And you got the wheat from them?
10599	Any heirs?
10599	Are all prisons up here made of ivory inlaid with gold?
10599	Are you hurt?
10599	Believe it''s that seal- fishery business?
10599	But I say,ejaculated Barney,"you can stow the remains of our plane somewhere below, ca n''t you?"
10599	But how much do you really know about airplanes?
10599	But the ensign?
10599	But the wheat?
10599	But what would his pal have to do with it?
10599	Can we do it?
10599	Can you understand their jargon?
10599	D''y''see it, lad?
10599	D''y''see it? 10599 D''y''see''i m?"
10599	Dead?
10599	Did y''see that?
10599	Did you fellows wake up last night?
10599	Did you get it?
10599	Do n''t see anything down there in the ruins, do you?
10599	Do n''t we start for the Pole at once?
10599	Do you remember the obstacle- races they used to have at county fairs when you were a boy?
10599	Do you_ know_ her?
10599	Fer if ye be,continued the man,"ye''s be keepin''a lookout fer Timmie noo, would n''t ye though?"
10599	Four or five days? 10599 Going back?
10599	Going back?
10599	Have we any extra steel plate?
10599	Have you gone due south by west instead of north by west?
10599	Heirs? 10599 How are we going to tell that schooner when we see it?"
10599	How did that happen?
10599	How?
10599	I wonder?
10599	Ice beneath the ocean? 10599 Is-- is that true?"
10599	Kill''em?
10599	La Vaune?
10599	Landed?
10599	Looks like the bones of a man?
10599	Make of it?
10599	Meat?
10599	Might I ask the nature of your proposed trip?
10599	Now I suppose the remaining questions are: Will you be at liberty to take up aviation again and-- do you want to?
10599	Now, why did n''t you say''Yes''on the spot?
10599	Ow is she?
10599	Pardon me,interrupted the Major,"but were some of the reindeer white?"
10599	Rainey, get my case from the locker, will you?
10599	Return?
10599	Rifles?
10599	Say, you do n''t suppose,exclaimed Barney that night at supper--"you remember those awful wide planes of the Major''s?
10599	See what?
10599	Shall we attempt to go on or turn back?
10599	Speaking of rewards,said the Major quickly,"how about that ten thousand which comes to some of us?
10599	Tell me,Jarvis whispered,"do my h''old h''eyes deceive me, or h''is there a line of dark h''over t''th''right of y''?"
10599	That explains why we circled three times during our first day''s flight? 10599 That money?"
10599	The logging company?
10599	The question?
10599	The stuff-- blankets, grub and the like, yes, but--Barney smiled in spite of himself--"why the plane?
10599	Then what''s happened?
10599	Then you did n''t see it?
10599	Think we can save him?
10599	Tiger?
10599	Timmie? 10599 Too close ashore?"
10599	Understand Mill''s grenades?
10599	Was he your boy?
10599	Well, what then?
10599	Well,he asked, when the native had finished,"what do you make of it?"
10599	What d''y''think of that?
10599	What did I tell you?
10599	What do you make of it?
10599	What do you suppose they want to know that for?
10599	What happened?
10599	What happened?
10599	What now?
10599	What puzzles me is, where''s the remains of the fellow''s generator and wireless?
10599	What was that?
10599	What were you making?
10599	What with?
10599	What you doing?
10599	What''s all this rumpus?
10599	What''s on your mind, Bruce?
10599	What''s that tangle above the cliffs there?
10599	What''s that?
10599	What''s that?
10599	What''s the idea?
10599	What''s the matter with you?
10599	What''s this?
10599	What''s up?
10599	What? 10599 What?"
10599	What?
10599	Where can we be?
10599	Who ever thought of going to the Pole in a plane through Canada?
10599	Who were the three strange- appearing natives who had attacked him and his companion in the jail? 10599 Who''s Timmie?"
10599	Who''s he, she, it?
10599	Why, what could be fairer?
10599	Why? 10599 Will h''I?
10599	Will h''I?
10599	Will he beat me again?
10599	Will she rise again?
10599	Wo n''t she be buried in snow?
10599	Would you mind letting me know where you are located?
10599	Would you mind mentioning my name in the message?
10599	Ye''ll pardon an old man''s foolish questions?
10599	You are a Canadian, are you not?
10599	You do n''t think,said Dave,"that we''d attempt the Pole?"
10599	You thought what?
10599	You? 10599 A sail? 10599 A thousand times? 10599 Am I right?
10599	An''ye''ll be lookin''fer it noo, wo n''t ye?
10599	And Timmie?
10599	And if they closed, one after the other, more rapidly than the advance of the submarine, what was finally to become of the submarine crew?
10599	And if we were to find ourselves in the center of such a vast field of ice with oxygen exhausted, what chance would we have?"
10599	And now I wonder-- I just wonder, did they have anything to do with the disappearance of our friend Dave and the engineer?"
10599	And the bear, if he were still there?
10599	And what was that protruding above what remained of the snow?
10599	And where were they going?
10599	And why not?
10599	Apparently not, for from Bruce through the receiver came a groan, then;"What''s happened?
10599	Ar''ye that blind?
10599	Are you going back?
10599	Are you ready?
10599	Are you?"
10599	As for houses, did they not have their deerskins and walrus- pelts?
10599	Barney''s friend, Dave Tower, who had gone North in a submarine on a mission as mysterious as their own; would they ever meet?
10599	Bruce exclaimed,"would n''t it be great to take packs, rifles and mosquito- bar netting and go hunting that fellow in that Northern wilderness?"
10599	But Jarvis?
10599	But honest, does n''t he look natural standing there in the ice?"
10599	But how was that stretch of tumbled icefloe to be crossed?
10599	But the plane?
10599	But twelve years?
10599	But what else could it have been?
10599	But what was this that reached his ears?
10599	But what was this?
10599	But what was this?
10599	But what was this?
10599	But what was to be done?
10599	But why freight the junk?
10599	But, after all, what good does a big expedition do?
10599	But, as for this present journey, you are perhaps aware that an illegal wireless station has been operating somewhere in these woods and hills?"
10599	But, for that matter, who would even dream of a wolf large enough to carry off a two hundred pound deer?"
10599	But-- where were they?
10599	Ca n''t be a whale up here, can it?"
10599	Ca n''t ye see''ow th''thing''d work?"
10599	Ca n''t ye see''ow they do n''t want the h''Americans or th''Roosians to git t''the treasure of this peninsula?
10599	Charting Northeast Passage?
10599	Could he play the part of the mole, as the tiger was sure to play the part of the cat?
10599	Could it be only a bit of bent timber lodged there on the log- roof of a long- abandoned Indian shack?
10599	Could it be possible they had seized the submarine and deserted the party for the sake of gain to themselves?
10599	Could it have been an Indian dressed in white, tanned deerskin?
10599	Dave, who had been studying the shore with the glass, handed it to Jarvis:"Do you see something like a village?"
10599	Dave, who knew that the old seaman was acquainted with several native dialects, said:"What do you make of it?"
10599	Did he see shadows flitting across the ice?
10599	Did he sense the dark shadow which always presaged open water?
10599	Did they see dark figures dancing about the ruins?
10599	Did you shoot him?"
10599	Do n''t ye know all the time the three rascals we well- nigh killed was Japs?
10599	Do n''t you suppose that solves the problem of Peary''s white reindeer?"
10599	Do n''t you think-- think, he and I might manage the sub for you-- your trip?"
10599	Eat?
10599	For a second he hesitated; should he return and call his companions, or should he attempt to anchor the plane, temporarily at least, unaided?
10599	Four or five, did you say?
10599	Going back, did y''say?
10599	Going to quit construction here and use planes the rest of the way?
10599	Had he really been misdirected by the compass on the plane?
10599	Had some Indian tribe taken to farming?
10599	Had the cold benumbed his senses?
10599	Hae ye never hearn o''Timmie?
10599	How did they chance to have a jail at all?
10599	How did they happen to have such a strange jail?
10599	How did you come?
10599	How had he fared?
10599	How had he lived?
10599	How long will it take to complete the repairs?"
10599	How many more times would he do this?
10599	How was it to be done?
10599	If so, who was the person whose bones lay in the ruins?
10599	If the Major''s suppositions were correct; if, indeed, this trader was the hired agent of a fanatical clan, would he not be armed and on the alert?
10599	If the ice did not pile when the floes came together, why was it?
10599	If they wandered this far, might they not easily have gone on to the other side of the continent?"
10599	In another moment the crew found themselves outside clinging to the tilted and unsteady craft, blinking in the sunlight, and seeing--?
10599	No one had a ready answer, and at last the Doctor spoke again:"In the meantime, what are we going to do about it?
10599	No one would be coming up here for a high altitude test, would he?"
10599	North Pole?
10599	Now he shouted through the telephone to Barney;"What''ll I do if I catch a square of light below?"
10599	Or was it-- was it what he knew Bruce hoped it might be-- a supply- house for gasoline, or perhaps a motor- boat with a supply of gasoline on board?
10599	Or, what if it had been abandoned?
10599	Rope- handed spiking hammers or pick- axes?"
10599	Russian gold?
10599	So if ye''ll be goin''to the woods ye''ll be watchin''noo, wo n''t ye?"
10599	So then I have the good fortune to be speaking to the very man I seek?"
10599	So they walked the ridge and had passed the willow clump, when Rainey gripped his companion''s arm, whispering:"What''s that down there to the right?
10599	So why not up here?"
10599	Suddenly the old engineer started:"Did you see''i m?"
10599	The Major and Bruce; had they been blown into eternity?
10599	The Pole; you do n''t suppose he''d try it?"
10599	The only question in his optimistic young mind was, which would arrive first?
10599	The sun soon set and a long night began, but what of that?
10599	The wireless station offers an excuse, do n''t you see?"
10599	Then Bruce voiced their thoughts:"Do you suppose this Major What- you- may- call- him is bringing up his plane for some commission like that?"
10599	Then, with a smile, he said briskly:"Of course, you''ll have breakfast?
10599	There was a peculiar twinkle in the Major''s eye, as he asked:"How do you make that out?"
10599	There was an eager, questioning look in his kindly eyes, as he said in quaint Scotch accent:"Ye''ll noo be goin''to the woods a''soon?"
10599	There''s gold in Russia, on the Kamchatkan peninsula; you know that, do n''t you?"
10599	This wheat- field now?
10599	To the partners?
10599	Took us for a whale, do n''t you see?
10599	Was he asleep and dreaming?
10599	Was he seeing things?
10599	Was the infernal- machine a genuine affair, and if so, would it explode?
10599	Was the man who had been accidentally shot the night before the anarchist trader?
10599	Was the motor simply dead, or was the propeller gone?
10599	Was there much of it to be found?"
10599	What are they up to?
10599	What awaited them on the surface?
10599	What could cause this fright, save the sound and sight of our plane hovering over them?
10599	What did it mean if they were successful?
10599	What do you suppose that means?"
10599	What if the machine- gun jammed?
10599	What if this trading station was one of those myths that float down from the North?
10599	What of the stranger?
10599	What was it that he had just concluded?
10599	What was it?
10599	What was it?
10599	What was that?
10599	What was the answer?
10599	What weapons do you choose?
10599	What were they doing here?
10599	What will you do with your twelve hours?"
10599	What''s doing now?
10599	What''s that out in the center?"
10599	What''s the grand idea?"
10599	Whence had come the seed wheat?
10599	Where did the gold come from that had been used to inlay the ivory?
10599	Where did they come from?
10599	Where was he?
10599	Where?"
10599	Who was this Major, anyway?
10599	Who''d ever thought of that for a prison?"
10599	Who''s in possession of that peninsula at the present time?
10599	Why might not Timmie have camped here and planted this wheat?
10599	Will you forget your flag and your shipmates for gold?"
10599	Will you take the money to the little girl, La Vaune?"
10599	Will you take us both?"
10599	Wo n''t we, Bruce?"
10599	Wolves, grizzlies, some unknown terror, perhaps?
10599	Would he not, perhaps, have Indians and half- breeds hired to help guard his secret?
10599	Would his companion understand and risk a shot as the tiger prepared for another spring?
10599	Would she rise?
10599	Would the craft stand the test?
10599	Would they ever be able to help him blot the stain from his name?
10599	Would they ever return to La Vaune with the money which was rightfully hers?
10599	Would they not perish for lack of air?
10599	Ye''ll be kenin''the lass thet helps in the boardin''shack where you and the bosses eat?"
10599	Yet, here was, after all, another problem: What was this white- coated creature?
10599	exclaimed Bruce suddenly,"who''s this Major chap, anyway?
10599	exclaimed Dave,"who is this doctor of ours, anyway?"
10599	he said, at last,"who''d marvel at that?
5707	''Ere, who are you a shovin''off?
5707	And then you found it was Ernest Graves?
5707	Another of them?
5707	Anything happen to you?
5707	Are we going to leave him like that, Harry?
5707	Are we to come tonight, sir?
5707	Are you going to try to fly in that machine?
5707	Are you sure of that, Gaffer?
5707	Are you?
5707	Because they can hide the heliograph? 5707 But I wonder why they''re here?
5707	But do you think you''ve killed him?
5707	But how am I going to get out of this trap?
5707	But how did you find out about us?
5707	But however do you know? 5707 But we''ve got aeroplanes flying about, have n''t we?"
5707	But what on earth does it mean, Harry? 5707 But where is Dick?"
5707	But wo n''t this be in German?
5707	But you can see my uniform, ca n''t you? 5707 But you see what I mean now, do n''t you, Dick?
5707	Ca n''t you imagine what fun we used to have here when we played about? 5707 Can we drag him?"
5707	Can you come on with me, Jack?
5707	D''ye see?
5707	Dick Mercer? 5707 Did n''t I see the machine myself-- a big grey one, with black stripes as ever was, like all their automobiles?"
5707	Did n''t you even know we had Boy Scouts in America?
5707	Did you notice anything queer about him?
5707	Did you see any sign of soldiers from London?
5707	Did you see him come into town this afternoon, Gaffer?
5707	Do n''t you know he''ll never come back?
5707	Do n''t you remember what we watched them heliographing some messages, and put down the Morse signs? 5707 Do n''t you see, Dick?
5707	Do n''t you see?
5707	Do you expect to locate the enemy''s cavalry from my tower room? 5707 Do you know where the telephone wire runs?"
5707	Do you see the sun flashing on something on the roof of that house over there? 5707 Do you think England is likely to have to go to war soon-- within a year or so, sir?"
5707	Do you think it''s another spy?
5707	Do you think you''re doing anything for England? 5707 Have you ever been up, Harry?"
5707	How can a war think, you chump?
5707	How did he know we were here?
5707	How did you get Dick out? 5707 How did you get out?"
5707	How far away do you think it ought to be, Harry?
5707	How many of them do you suppose are going?
5707	How many?
5707	How old is he?
5707	How? 5707 I have n''t done anything really wrong, have I?
5707	I say, are you Dick Mercer?
5707	I say, you do n''t talk like an Englishman?
5707	I suppose the steamers are fearfully crowded?
5707	I suppose you know that Harry''s an American, do n''t you?
5707	I wonder if they''d let us fight?
5707	I wonder if they''ll let me go? 5707 I''ll form a rear guard-- d''ye see?
5707	If the Germans go through Belgium, will that mean that we shall fight?
5707	If there really should be war, I mean?
5707	Is n''t it jolly?
5707	Is n''t it lucky that it''s such a fine day, Harry? 5707 It looks as if he had acted on that idea, too, does n''t it, then?
5707	It makes it seem as if we were really of some use, does n''t it, Harry?
5707	It''s better for a few people to be arrested by mistake than to let a spy keep on spying, is n''t it?
5707	Killed him? 5707 Live with your parents, do you?
5707	More of your Boy Scout work, sir?
5707	No questions?
5707	No-- by Jove, they do that, do n''t they, Harry? 5707 Now is there a telephone in your father''s house, Jack?"
5707	Now what shall we do? 5707 Off to the war?"
5707	Oh, I say, wo n''t Gaffer Hodge be in bed and asleep?
5707	Oh, ca n''t you see?
5707	Oh, you''re a scout, too, are you?
5707	On the public service?
5707	Remember this, Dick?
5707	Scouting, eh?
5707	See? 5707 So you are spying on my house, are you?"
5707	Spy? 5707 Suppose I scout into Bray?"
5707	Sure that it was an automobile from Bray Park?
5707	That is n''t what we expected, either, is it?
5707	That what they mean by the red light markers, then?
5707	That''s why you''re here, then, is it? 5707 The other one''s English, is n''t he?"
5707	The scouts are going to turn out and help, he? 5707 The thing to do would be to follow them, eh?
5707	The way we do in the scouts? 5707 Then you understand pretty well?"
5707	There, see that big tree, that blasted one over there? 5707 Von Wedel is a commander of some sort-- that''s plain, is n''t it?
5707	We''re to take the dispatches to Major French, at Waterloo? 5707 We''ve got to retreat, have n''t we?"
5707	Well, boys,he said,"what can I do for you?
5707	Well,said the officer,"what are you doing here?"
5707	What are you doing here-- spying on us?
5707	What are you doing here?
5707	What are you going to do?
5707	What did you tell him?
5707	What do you know about this?
5707	What do you make of it, Dick?
5707	What do you mean, Harry?
5707	What do you think you''ll do, Harry?
5707	What good would that do?
5707	What happened then?
5707	What is it, Harry?
5707	What''s that? 5707 What-- what''s this?"
5707	What? 5707 Whatever did you tell him that whopper about Croydon for?"
5707	When are you going to start?
5707	Where are those papers you stole from me, you sneak?
5707	Where can I get petrol? 5707 Where do you suppose those signals go to?"
5707	Where''s the colonel?
5707	Who are you?
5707	Who is he?
5707	Who will be in command? 5707 Why do n''t they use flags, then?"
5707	Why should n''t he see it?
5707	Why should you take all the risks when it is n''t your own country, especially?
5707	Why, Jack?
5707	Why, how can you make that out?
5707	Why, how could I? 5707 Why, there wo n''t be any fighting in England, sir, will there?"
5707	Why? 5707 Wireless, you think, my boy?"
5707	With this news--?
5707	Wo n''t he be glad to see me, though?
5707	Would it affect your business, dear?
5707	Would n''t they see those lights and wonder about them?
5707	Would you stay over here if there was a war, Harry? 5707 Yes, but who''s going to do it?"
5707	You carry orders concerning the movement of troops from Ealing? 5707 You mean that there will be Germans here trying to hurt England any way they can, do n''t you sir?
5707	You went through the village this afternoon, did n''t you? 5707 You''d want us to win, would n''t you, Harry, if we fought?"
5707	You''re going to stand with us, then, Fleming?
5707	You''re quite a doctor, are n''t you? 5707 You''ve seen him?
5707	''Du hast dein weg--''See?
5707	''Eh, what''s that?"
5707	''So you knew I was going?''
5707	''Then you think England will be drawn in, sir?"
5707	''We could be useful as sentries, then?"
5707	And I suppose I need n''t tell you that you must give it to no one else?"
5707	And did you hear them saying anything that sounded as if it might be useful, Dick?"
5707	And how was he coming?
5707	And if there are Germans there in any number, what could he do?
5707	And then to come back here?"
5707	And there were many women and children here, to bid farewell to the soldiers who were going-- where?
5707	And what happened to the cycles and the papers we hid there?
5707	And why should he need petrol?"
5707	And would n''t a German?
5707	And, I say, had n''t we better stay in the shadow?
5707	Are n''t you coming over?"
5707	Are you Boy Scouts?"
5707	But we do learn to do the things a soldier has to do, do n''t we?"
5707	But why did n''t we--""Try to arrest him?
5707	CHAPTER IV THE HOUSE OF THE HELIOGRAPH"You know your way about London?"
5707	CHAPTER XVI THE CIPHER"What happened to you?"
5707	Dick, do you see that house over there?
5707	Did he get away?
5707	Did n''t you see a very old man with white hair and a stick beside him, sitting in a doorway next to the little shop by the Red Dog?"
5707	Did they think, then, that he, a boy, could not understand?
5707	Did you ever hear of such a thing?"
5707	Did you see Graves tonight?"
5707	Do I see any fightin''?
5707	Do n''t you know it?"
5707	Do n''t you see you''ve go to go?
5707	Do n''t you think so, Dick?"
5707	Do n''t you think so?"
5707	Do n''t you want him to see us?"
5707	Do you see some wires dangling there?
5707	Do you see?"
5707	Do you think he can?"
5707	Do you think they will let us do that?"
5707	Do you think you could do that?
5707	Do you think you could get along all right if you were left here?
5707	Eh, Tommy?"
5707	Eh?"
5707	Fine sort of war this is?
5707	Franklin, I believe you are the senior patrol leader?
5707	Franklin, what''s your idea of what the Boy Scouts would be able to do?"
5707	Going over to Grenfel''s, are n''t you?"
5707	Going to Ealing, boys?"
5707	Had he urged his chum to leave him in his agony, for the ankle was badly wrenched, and seek safety in flight?
5707	Has n''t he lived here a long time?"
5707	Have you ever noticed anything funny about the way he talks?"
5707	Have you got any papers?
5707	Have you?"
5707	He comes, Von Wedel?"
5707	How are we going to stop them?"
5707	How can he do that?
5707	How did he know where they had been?
5707	I really hope it wo n''t, but I would n''t be surprised if i d did, would you?"
5707	I said,''Do n''t you wish you knew?''
5707	I say, what''s your name?"
5707	I suppose that''s why so many of our chaps join the Territorials when they are through school and start in business?"
5707	I suppose you know that is a serious offense, whether your original arrest was justified or not?"
5707	I think--""What?"
5707	I wonder why he does n''t like me?"
5707	I''ll see you in the morning, I suppose?"
5707	I''ll write a note to your scoutmaster-- Mr. Wharton, is n''t it?
5707	If there''s war I suppose a lot of you policemen will go?"
5707	If they''ve planned so carefully as this, would n''t they be likely to have country places, where they''d be less likely to be disturbed?"
5707	In the daytime Harry could find people to tell him which way Graves was going, could n''t he?"
5707	Is n''t that an awful idea, Harry?
5707	Is n''t there some side road that does n''t lead anywhere, where I can run in with the car while we talk?"
5707	It''s portable, is n''t it?"
5707	Now what on earth do they want petrol for?
5707	Now who did that?
5707	On His Majesty''s service, I suppose?"
5707	On top of that hill, do you see?
5707	Or else how am I to get away?
5707	Or were they so sure of success that it did not matter?
5707	Or would you go home?"
5707	Ought n''t I be allowed to do whatever I can, now that something like this has happened?"
5707	See her-- that great big cigar- shaped thing, dropping over there?"
5707	See it''s number?
5707	See?
5707	So that they would be free to go and fight?"
5707	Still-- a taxi cab driver, eh?
5707	Suppose we separate and take different ways to get to Waterloo?
5707	That all, is it, sir?
5707	That''s our motto, is n''t it?
5707	Then how can he get here?
5707	Then take him home with you, will you?
5707	They are to entrain-- where?"
5707	They go to Dover, then, I suppose-- no, perhaps to Folkestone--- oh, what matter?
5707	Want to listen?
5707	War?
5707	Was it just a few moments since he had urged, even commanded, Dick Mercer to leave him, caught in a trap set for just such trespassers as they?
5707	Was it just a week since Grenfel, his English scoutmaster, had bidden the boys of his troop goodbye?
5707	Was it just two days since father and mother had been so suddenly recalled to the States?
5707	Was it little more than a week, thought Harry Fleming, since he had uttered those words so lightly?
5707	We could do a lot of things instead of soldiers, could n''t we?
5707	We shall have to be alert and watchful, and do whatever there is to be done...""Who will be scoutmaster, sir, if you go to the war?"
5707	Well, can we help any more here tonight?"
5707	What are we to do, then?''
5707	What are you going to do, boy?
5707	What did it mean to them, to England?
5707	What did you mean when you told him you knew more about me than you did about him?
5707	What do you mean?"
5707	What do you suppose that is?"
5707	What information concerning the British plans could they get that would be worth all they were risking?
5707	What on earth do you make of that, Harry?"
5707	What troop and patrol?"
5707	What was he going to do when he came?
5707	What will they be up to next-- those Germans?
5707	Where are you?
5707	Where do you think your search will lead you, Fleming?"
5707	Where is he?
5707	Which thousand men would be ready to go to the front first?"
5707	Who was Von Wedel?
5707	Who would be honored by the first chance?
5707	Why not admit it?"
5707	Why not?
5707	Why should he think it would be hard for them to explain their actions?
5707	Why should n''t he?"
5707	Why?
5707	Why?"
5707	Why?"
5707	Will you come along?"
5707	Will you suggest the names of two scouts for this service?"
5707	Would any Englishman say that, Dick?
5707	Would n''t that make it safer?
5707	Would n''t you like to fly her though?"
5707	Would they let you go?
5707	Yes?
5707	You going away, sir?
5707	You know where you are to be, Jack?"
5707	You might use a motorcycle-- know how to ride one?"
5707	You see where there''s a shadow by that central tower?
5707	You think it''s sort of funny and a bit of a misfortune, do n''t you, to be anything but English?"
5707	You understand thoroughly, do you?"
5707	You understand?"
5707	You will remember that?"
5707	You would n''t want a lot of German roughs to come and destroy your house or your shop and handle you that way, would you?"
5707	You would try to put out that fire, would n''t you, to save your own house from being burned up?
5707	You''ll give my message to Mercer or Young if there''s any way of getting the line clear?"
5707	You''re caught in a trap, are n''t you?"
15773	A mile a minute, what?
15773	A visitor this time of day? 15773 Across ze sea?"
15773	Ah, but you see, Mother, he hasn''t--"Has n''t what-- Fifteen two, fifteen four-- Well, Kate?
15773	All the stuff onboard?
15773	And how often has it broken down?
15773	And the Reds, sir?
15773	And what''s this horrible smell? 15773 Any explanation?"
15773	Any petrol to be got here?
15773	Are you hurt, Roddy?
15773	Are you pulling my leg, now?
15773	Are you quite comfortable, Miss Bunce?
15773	But I may have a cup of tea?
15773	But do you know how far it is? 15773 But how did you know I had gone out to the Solomons?"
15773	But now, how do we stand? 15773 But now, what''s it all mean, you beggar?
15773	But what about the petrol?
15773	But you, Charley?
15773	But, hang it all, Mary, do you understand what it means? 15773 But-- I do n''t understand-- mid- ocean-- an aeroplane?
15773	But-- but-- then you have been_ round the world_, sir-- in_ how_ long?
15773	But-- from Port Darwin-- across the sea?
15773	Ca n''t you get off in your boats?
15773	Come from Sydney?
15773	Could n''t we fetch him?
15773	D''you want to see a blaze?
15773	Did you tell him that Mr. Charley is not at home?
15773	Do n''t you see I''ve had an accident?
15773	Do n''t you think you had better go to bed, Kate?
15773	Do n''t you think you have better give up the idea of returning at once, and come with us? 15773 Do n''t you think, Mr. Smith, you are going a little too far?"
15773	Do you mean to tell me, seriously, you have been to the South Pacific?
15773	Dry work, ai n''t it?
15773	Eh bien, monsieur?
15773	Eh, what?
15773	Excellence, are we to accept as samples two dozen left- hand gloves? 15773 For Honolulu, sir?"
15773	Got it, Roddy?
15773	Had n''t we better wait till to- morrow night?
15773	Has never been quite so late home on his last night of leave, has he, Mother?
15773	Have a banana?
15773	Have a sandwich?
15773	Have n''t you got a megaphone?
15773	Have you got the stuff?
15773	Hear what?
15773	Hi, boys,called Mr. Martin;"can tell where Ching- Fu keeps?"
15773	How are you getting on, Roddy?
15773	How d''e do? 15773 How in the world did you know about us?"
15773	How much longer, Roddy?
15773	How shall we explain to Mother? 15773 How will you go?"
15773	How''s that?
15773	How_ can_ you sleep when you''re in such terrible danger?
15773	I dare say I can,replied the other laughing,"but where do you spring from?
15773	I say,said one of the officers,"is your man stuffing us up?
15773	I suppose I had better send on your things to the Leslies in the morning?
15773	I suppose you''ll wire ahead for petrol to be held ready for you? 15773 In that what- you- may- call- it, sir?"
15773	In the aeroplane, you mean?
15773	In the-- what?
15773	Is it Admiralty business, Charley?
15773	Is that a fact? 15773 Is the Director- General here?"
15773	Is there anything fresh and frothy on the tape?
15773	It took ye a week, I suppose?
15773	Jenkinson sahib? 15773 Just receipt your bill, w- will you?
15773	Many passengers?
15773	My dear chap, are you mad? 15773 Nearly done, Roddy?"
15773	Nearly done, Roddy?
15773	Not in that machine?
15773	Now, old fellow, what is the best you can do for me?
15773	Oh, I say, can you speak English?
15773	Played the burglar?
15773	Rather less, is n''t it?
15773	Ready, Roddy?
15773	Remember I googlied you for a duck at Lord''s last year?
15773	See that, Roddy?
15773	Shall we fire at them?
15773	Shall we walk down to the sheds? 15773 So soon as that?
15773	Sounds simple, do n''t it?
15773	Sree sousand miles?
15773	Sure you would n''t be after declining to answer a question or two-- to be worked up into an interview, you know?
15773	That you, Daventry?
15773	That you, Martin?
15773	That''s Toronto over yonder?
15773	The question is, what are we to do now? 15773 Then our boat did not go down?"
15773	There''s no other way, is there?
15773	Tigers, eh?
15773	To- night, eh?
15773	Tout va bien, mademoiselle?
15773	Vat is it? 15773 Vous n''avez pas peur?"
15773	Was sagt er?
15773	Well, Mr.--Jones, is it? 15773 Well, mate,"he said, eyeing Smith curiously by the light of the door lamp;"what can I do for you?"
15773	Well, put that right, and hurry up, will you?
15773	What are your bearings?
15773	What can we do then?
15773	What distance, mister,he said,"from here to there-- to the cannibals?"
15773	What do ye want, man?
15773	What do you mean? 15773 What do you mean?"
15773	What do you think of that, Davis?
15773	What does he say?
15773	What is it, Father?
15773	What is this b- b- bill for d- d- damages you speak of?
15773	What time do you want to go?
15773	What''s that ye were saying?
15773	What''s the ha''penny?
15773	What''s this, mister?
15773	What''s wrong, mister?
15773	What''s your little game?
15773	What, mister?
15773	Where are we?
15773	Where are we?
15773	Where did you get that old rattler?
15773	Where is Mr. Jenkinson''s godown?
15773	Where''s it to be taken, sir?
15773	Where''s the fleet? 15773 Where?"
15773	Who are you?
15773	Who are you?
15773	Who is he, Betts?
15773	Why are you so restless to- night, Kate?
15773	Why_ do_ you pretend so?
15773	Yes; chocolate, bovril, the whole boiling; but--"And the maps?
15773	You are sure you are not hurt much?
15773	You do n''t say so?
15773	You got a cable from London ordering eighty gallons of petrol to be held ready for Lieutenant Smith?
15773	You have heard from Charley?
15773	You really mean it, then?
15773	You there, Daniels? 15773 You there, Kate?
15773	You think we ca n''t hope for relief?
15773	You will try to send help to Father?
15773	You will, will you?
15773	You wish to see my brother?
15773	You''ll forgive my presumption?
15773	You''ll look after my gal, sir?
15773	You''re sure we can rely on you?
15773	You''re two hours in advance of it, are n''t you?
15773	Your name''s not Smith?
15773	Your name, sir, is Lieutenant Smith?
15773	A clean shave, mister, hein?"
15773	After the interval usual in trunk calls, he began--"That you, Billy?
15773	All ready, Roddy?"
15773	An earthquake?"
15773	And there, far in the west, what is that?
15773	And what about getting back?"
15773	Are n''t you very tired?"
15773	Are you Lieutenant Smith, may I ask?"
15773	Are you off to reorganize the Turkish navy or something?"
15773	Are you policing these seas?"
15773	Are you ready?"
15773	As yet he had been flying for only three hours: could he live through seven days of it?
15773	Besides, we might have to go a long way, and how could we find our way back again?"
15773	Bring him to the''phone to take a note.... That you, Davis?
15773	But is it safe?
15773	But surely she will be there before you?"
15773	But why did n''t we get it before, man?
15773	By the b- bye, Mr. Smith did n''t pay you anything on account?"
15773	By the way, Kate, I suppose nothing of importance has come for me?"
15773	By the way, can you lend me two or three men for half- an- hour or so at five shillings an hour?"
15773	By the way, will you ask Daventry, in case I forget it, to send a cable to my sister to say that I''m all right?"
15773	Can you describe the spot?"
15773	Can you give me an hour or two?...
15773	Can you provide them at such short notice?"
15773	Can you tell me the latitude and longitude of this place?"
15773	Come to my room in ten minutes, will you?
15773	Could you cable me to the address in Constantinople the names of firms at those places?"
15773	D''you mean to say you''ve come pretty near two thousand five hundred miles to- day?"
15773	Day''s work done?"
15773	De quoi mêlez- vous?
15773	Did n''t you see it or hear it?"
15773	Do you really mean to say you''ve got here in eight hours from London?"
15773	Do you see him?"
15773	Eight hours''run; a record, is n''t it?
15773	Finished, Roddy?"
15773	For vy should I take oil for a motor- boat up country?
15773	Get out a special edition at once.... Where''s Davis?
15773	Go straight on, stranger; you see that constable there?
15773	Had any trouble?"
15773	Had some rival appeared on the scene at the very moment when he saw the crown of his long toil?
15773	Had they been enticed forth by the savages?
15773	Has not the administration of the French Republic arranged it?
15773	Have n''t you heard about it?"
15773	Have you got yesterday''s paper, Kate?"
15773	Have you heard from Charley lately?"
15773	Have you?"
15773	Hawley, d''you mind getting your men to clear the course?
15773	He cleared his throat,"If I med make so bold, sir, meanin''no offence--""What n- now?"
15773	He hesitated; should he go back?
15773	How are you?
15773	How did you come to be by the Andamans?
15773	How does that strike you, Roddy?"
15773	How far have we to go?"
15773	How far is it across the Atlantic?"
15773	Hullo, Jenkins, what''s the matter?"
15773	I ca n''t make a name in geology, but why should n''t I go down to posterity as the first man to fly round the world?"
15773	I hoped to make Apia; that is it, yonder, I suppose?"
15773	I suppose I can get some petrol somewhere about here?"
15773	I suppose it''s for a motor- boat you want it?
15773	I''m not often surprised, but-- what are you grinning at?"
15773	Is it your opinion, now, that we''ll have a war in the air one of these days?"
15773	Is this the Admiralty''s latest?"
15773	Is your aeroplane outside, old man?"
15773	It''s nearly two thousand miles from here to Ysabel Island, I think?"
15773	Know you not that I-- oui, moi qui vous parle-- have alone the right of entry into this_ tell_?
15773	M- m- my name?
15773	McWhirter?"
15773	Mr. Smith wo n''t do it quite so quick-- not this journey, at any rate-- but who knows what these young scientific fellows will be a- doing of next?
15773	No names again?"
15773	Now can you get the captain to clear the course for me?"
15773	Now shall we go?"
15773	Now, is there anything I can do for you before you go?"
15773	Nuisance having to change again, is n''t it?"
15773	Of course it''s a different matter to keep it up for days on end, but how long have you had your motor- car?"
15773	Over the sea?"
15773	Petrol, is it?
15773	Pond?"
15773	Qu''importe?"
15773	Raising himself, and dashing the clinging hay wisps from his face, he shouted--"Is she smashed, Roddy?"
15773	Say, what''s up?"
15773	Smith?"
15773	Smoke, or a cloud?
15773	Suppose you_ do_ come down; what then?"
15773	Take a wee drappie?
15773	That all right?...
15773	The chief difficulty is that we do n''t know the exact direction of their camp, but why should n''t I go out to- night and locate it?"
15773	The people do not speak French, I suppose?"
15773	The spectators held their breath: could she live out the storm?
15773	There be summat to wet our whistles on to- night, eh, men?"
15773	There''s some ordered by wire from a man named Benzonana; can you put me in the way of getting it quickly?"
15773	They must be one or other of the opposing fleets, either the Reds or the Blues; but which?
15773	This was written nearly five thousand years ago; what is the aeroplane, a thing of yesterday, in comparison with this glorious relic of antiquity?"
15773	Was it possible that they were making reprisals on the enemy who had previously attacked them?
15773	Was there any use in struggling further?
15773	Well, now, is there a smith in the village?
15773	Well, now, what will your best course be?"
15773	What about your man, by the way?"
15773	What aeroplane?"
15773	What chance was there in this dense forest of finding what he sought?
15773	What do you call that vessel of yours?"
15773	What had we better do?"
15773	What have I to do with aeroplanes?
15773	What in the world are you after?"
15773	What is it this time?"
15773	What is that?"
15773	What is your friend''s hurry?"
15773	What''s the amount of your b- b- bill?"
15773	What''s the matter?"
15773	What''s your name, mister?"
15773	What''s your speed?"
15773	What?"
15773	What?...
15773	When are you due back?"
15773	When do you think you will get there?"
15773	Where did you come from?"
15773	Where do you hail from?"
15773	Where is it?"
15773	Where shall I find you in Penang, sir, if I get there safe?"
15773	Whereabouts was the wreck, sir?"
15773	Who are you?
15773	Who are you?"
15773	Who are you?"
15773	Who are you?"
15773	Who knew if they would have strength or sanity for the task after another sweltering day?
15773	Why had the party left their fort?
15773	Why should you imperil your life, perhaps in vain?"
15773	Why, I suppose you''ve had no breakfast?"
15773	Why?"
15773	Why?"
15773	Will you send a wire to Barracombe for me, Johnson?
15773	Withdraw: yes, certainly, at the quickest possible: but how?
15773	Would you mind running down to the shed and-- cleaning the engine?"
15773	Yes, I know my time''s up: I''ll renew.--You there, Billy?
15773	Yet why was the fort deserted?
15773	You always read the Mater''s letters to her, do n''t you?
15773	You are playing games vid me?"
15773	You can tell me where to get what I want?"
15773	You did n''t get my telegram, then?
15773	You do n''t suppose I came down here on purpose?
15773	You have come all the way from London since Friday morning?"
15773	You know Charley Smith?
15773	You know what I mean: a blacksmith, a man who makes iron things?"
15773	You know your room?"
15773	You wo n''t forget?"
15773	You wo n''t mind me ringing up a few particular friends, and inviting them out to see you?"
15773	You''d like a wash, eh?
15773	You''ll manage it?
15773	are you there?...
15773	exclaimed Mr. Daventry;"what have you been doing to yourself, Smith?"
15773	when did you start?
14486	All ready? 14486 And did you fly as agreed upon?"
14486	And have him bump right into the house? 14486 And now that you have lit, what do you expect to do, may I ask?"
14486	And what has made you so cheerful this morning?
14486	And where do you expect to come in? 14486 And who the heck are you?"
14486	Are you crazy, man? 14486 Are you sure this is the couple?"
14486	Aw, how was I to know they''d went and planted this field to beans? 14486 Aw, say, Miss Selmer--""Will you be quiet?
14486	Aw, what''s he want to see me for?
14486	Been planning on some night- riding, hunh?
14486	Better duck down somewhere; ca n''t you dodge''em?
14486	Bland Halliday, where have you_ been_, for gracious sake? 14486 Can you drop this for me, old man, when we are almost over the hacienda?
14486	Can you hear me?
14486	Did Johnny tell you he was coming, Mary V?
14486	Did n''t care a whoop for publicity-- did you fellows get that? 14486 Did n''t you know you was sliding a wheel every time you threw on the brake?
14486	Did you see him?
14486	Do n''t you dare attempt to leave before--"What''s the matter here? 14486 Do regular guys wear borrowed clothes?
14486	Do you feel that you earned this money?
14486	Do you want it?
14486	Do you want to pay at this end?
14486	Does? 14486 Ducks?
14486	F''r cat''s sake, what they went and done to this field?
14486	Fly where?
14486	Fly where?
14486	Get-- out?
14486	Goes to prove I was right, do n''t it? 14486 Going back to your Indian tribe?"
14486	Gratitude, huh?
14486	Have you any particular time set for it, or any plans made?
14486	Hello, old top-- how they using yuh?
14486	Hey, ai n''t yuh awake yet? 14486 How about that duck hunting?"
14486	How can I make money with this plane?
14486	How far can you keep this up-- without the motor?
14486	How long a job is this?
14486	How long? 14486 How much farther we got to walk, for gosh sake?"
14486	I guess it would have been better if I''d stayed away, I''ll remember--"For gracious_ sake_, what does make you so horrid?
14486	I mean, what about the mechanic? 14486 I''ll come peacefully all right; what I''m wondering now is, will the other fellow?"
14486	If I come back would I be shot at?
14486	Is n''t this rather low?
14486	Lend us a smoke, will yuh, old top? 14486 Me?
14486	No? 14486 Now what?"
14486	Oh, hello, Mary V. That you? 14486 Oh, well, what''s the use of talking?
14486	Oh-- h, no, Mary V. You ca n''t kid me out of this, so why keep on arguing? 14486 Oh-- who?
14486	Old Sudden gave you money to go, and dumped you at the depot, did n''t he? 14486 Our being engaged does n''t make any difference--""Oh, does n''t it?
14486	Out of Mexico?
14486	Quien sabe?
14486	Ready, Bland? 14486 Run it under there, and who would ever suspect?
14486	Sawb-- What y''mean, Sawb? 14486 See that deep notch in the ridge away off there?
14486	Should the crisis have to be met suddenly, do you wish to dodge the publicity that would follow if I told just who you are? 14486 Too fast for you?"
14486	Too fast? 14486 Was n''t them Injuns?"
14486	We?
14486	Well, do you think it will serve?
14486	Well, what do you mean, then?
14486	Well, what yuh want? 14486 Well, where''s that apology?"
14486	Whadda yuh mean, glad? 14486 What about him?
14486	What about you?
14486	What ails that darned motor? 14486 What did you say?"
14486	What do I want to listen to him for?
14486	What do you mean, trying to avoid answering a perfectly civil question?
14486	What has he done, for gracious sake? 14486 What kinda pilot are you, for gosh sake?"
14486	What the hell are you doing here?
14486	What yo''all doin'', up there?
14486	What yuh doing here? 14486 What''s the matter with him?
14486	What''s the matter with you, Bland?
14486	What''s the matter? 14486 What''s the name of that red- faced friend of Cliff''s?"
14486	What''s the next move?
14486	Where are you taking me?
14486	Where is he? 14486 Where you takin''me, f''r cat''s sake?"
14486	Where''s my man?
14486	Where''s that chuck you was talking about? 14486 Where''s your captain or somebody that''s in charge here?
14486	Who asked you to tag around after me? 14486 Who is really entitled to this money?"
14486	Why all this modesty to- day? 14486 Why did n''t you go on and light in Japan?
14486	Why? 14486 Why?"
14486	With apologies for overhearing a private conversation,said Captain Riley,"speaking of getting a new plane, why do n''t you enlist as an aviator?
14486	Writin''poetry for friend Venus to read? 14486 You ai n''t?
14486	You crazy?
14486	You do n''t go around asking other men how they expect to meet their obligations a year from now, do you? 14486 You know where our camp is?"
14486	You mean you could bring him-- as you brought this man Lowell?
14486	You see those twin peaks up there? 14486 You''d take a tramp''s advice before you would my father''s, would you?"
14486	Your third week''s salary answers that, does n''t it? 14486 Ah-- a room and bath, say on the sixth floor? 14486 Ai n''t that right, Eyebrow?
14486	All ready?
14486	Am I in the way here?
14486	And Mary V would kind of catch her breath and open her eyes wide at him, and say,"Why, Johnny--?"
14486	And ca n''t you make arrangements with the owner of this field to leave it here for the present-- and perhaps get him to keep an eye on it?
14486	And how long do you expect it will take to pay me for the horses?"
14486	And if he sold his own airplane, how then would he fly?
14486	And them government planes riding on my tail like they''ve been doing the last two trips?
14486	And what does he do?
14486	And when they did finally turn him loose, Mary V would be ashamed of her jailbird sweetheart, and his airplane would be-- where?
14486	And where was her pride, anyway?
14486	And where''s Johnny?"
14486	And why did n''t you take the time and the trouble to call me up and say what you were going to do, when you knew that I''d be looking for you?
14486	And would n''t dad please talk to Johnny?
14486	Are n''t you going to_ do_ anything?
14486	Are n''t you satisfied with getting me almost put in jail innocently?
14486	Are you about ready?
14486	Are you coming?"
14486	Are you-- er-- ready to fly?"
14486	Bland Halliday, what have you done with him?"
14486	But of course the marks will show--""Just what kind of marks?"
14486	By the way-- how much of it was true?
14486	CHAPTER TWENTY- FIVE OVER THE TELEPHONE"Hello?"
14486	Ca n''t you hear him holler for thrills?
14486	Ca n''t you show''em an Arizona sample of flying?
14486	Can you do that?"
14486	Can you fly at night?"
14486	Can you get rid of him, in other words?"
14486	Can you see any place that would make a possible secret landing for an airplane, for instance?"
14486	Could he do anything else for her?
14486	Could he locate the fault and correct it before that brush- fringe belched forth painted warriors bent on massacre?
14486	Could n''t they do anything but go to extremes, for gosh sake?
14486	Could n''t they find anything else to do, for gosh sake?"
14486	Cross your heart you''ll''phone the very instant you find out anything?
14486	D''yuh know that?"
14486	Darned boobs-- what did they want to get up searching parties for?
14486	Did Johnny mean to commit suicide?
14486	Did Johnny think, f''r cat''s sake, he could light in front of the Alexandria and call a bell- hop to take the plane?
14486	Did he think they could put the darn thing in an auto park?
14486	Did n''t I say there was big money in flyin''?"
14486	Did n''t they feed yuh good?"
14486	Did they see me coming?"
14486	Did you do that deliberately just to scare me, you bad boy?
14486	Did you let him out?"
14486	Did you say something about being shot at?"
14486	Do n''t the Germans fly at night all over London?
14486	Do n''t they know what a perfectly wonderful flyer you are?
14486	Do n''t you believe I can do it?"
14486	Do n''t you birds want to fly?
14486	Do n''t you consider this is honest money?
14486	Do n''t you like to ride?"
14486	Do n''t you think you had better run it under a shed somewhere and go to work?
14486	Do n''t you think, Mary V, you''re kinda changeable?"
14486	Do n''t yuh spose I want to know where''s he at?"
14486	Do you call that a treat, for gracious sake?
14486	Do you fellows think, for gosh sake, I just flew over here to give you guys a treat?
14486	Do you mean to tell me you''re going to leave?
14486	Do you think I''m going to be pointed out as a joke on the Rolling R?
14486	Do you think I''m going to walk around as a living curiosity, the only thing Sudden Selmer ever got stung on?
14486	Do you think your dad''s got the only brain in the world?
14486	Get the idea?
14486	Give you any trouble?"
14486	Had n''t he been flying in his own plane?
14486	Has he shown up yet?"
14486	Has it ever occurred to you, old man, how thoroughly disarming a woman and kiddies are in any enterprise that requires secrecy?"
14486	Have n''t you done harm enough, for gracious sake?
14486	Have you any contract with him, or are you tied up with him in any way?
14486	Hold your jaws still, ca n''t yuh, while I tell yuh what we''ll do?"
14486	How about that flat, out in front?
14486	How about you?
14486	How could he ever hope to be in the game as long as Bland had been?
14486	How do men run their affairs, and get rich, that never heard of him, do you suppose?
14486	How do you know?"
14486	How long will it take you to get the machine in shape?
14486	How long will people go on reading their morning paper at breakfast?"
14486	How much is it?"
14486	How much would a new propeller cost?
14486	How much would a propeller cost, any way?
14486	How much, after all, did Johnny owe to Bland Halliday?
14486	How would a cup of coffee suit you?
14486	How would a second lieutenancy strike you, Jewel?
14486	How''s she working, these days?
14486	How_ can_ the United States Army be so stupid?
14486	I been looking for him myself, and--""Bland Halliday, do you want to be torn limb from limb, right here on the public street before everybody?
14486	I guess that will let you throw your feet under the table regular-- what?"
14486	I take it you are in the same boat-- eh?"
14486	I wanted to keep her in good shape in case the gover''ment--""Trying to sell it back to the gover''ment, huh?
14486	I was the mechanic-- see?
14486	I wonder is there any lampblack on the place?"
14486	I wonder, by the way, why I am not invited to be present at that wedding?"
14486	I''d look like a boob now, would n''t I, if the guards nabbed us?
14486	If Bland is telling the truth, do n''t you see what it means?
14486	If it had been honest money, why should those soldiers go riding through the valleys, looking for him and his plane?
14486	If it was against the law, how did Lowell expect to get away with it?
14486	If it was n''t, why be so darned secret about it?
14486	If you feel that way about it, why did n''t you say so?
14486	If you''ll tell me how much you''re out--?"
14486	If you''ve ever been around a flying field you''ve noticed what looks like wheel- barrow tracks all over, have n''t you?
14486	In a month-- or would it last for a month?
14486	Is he over to the flying- machine shed?"
14486	Is it a crime for people to get married?
14486	Is it big enough for a flying field, do you think?
14486	Is that it?"
14486	Is that your teeth chattering?
14486	Is this young man--- the one you brought in-- is he the only one you know who has been concerned in this-- er-- business?
14486	Is yours dug already?
14486	Jewel, when you landed?"
14486	Jewel?"
14486	Johnny rattled the hook impatiently, called hello with irritated insistence, and finally succeeded in raising Central''s impersonal:"Number, please?"
14486	Just a little ways-- to see how it feels?"
14486	Just any old place?"
14486	Just ready for whatever turns up that looks promising?"
14486	Just so you''d have a chance to wreck the plane?
14486	Just who and what was the fellow, anyway?
14486	Let me take you to a regular place, will you?
14486	Mary V seeing him then would surely have asked herself,"What, for gracious sake, is Johnny up to now?"
14486	Need money?"
14486	Now you''ll come back to the ranch, wo n''t you, Johnny?"
14486	Oh, well, what did it matter?
14486	Oh, you did?
14486	Or could girls forget a fellow all at once?
14486	Or had she ever really cared?
14486	Or should he go to some cheap rooming house and save a few dollars, and sink into obscurity among the city''s strange thousands?
14486	Sabe?"
14486	Say, that was some bronk- riding I did up there among the clouds-- what?
14486	See the town right down there?
14486	Seriously now, as a sporting proposition and a chance to make money, how does it strike you?"
14486	Shall we start?"
14486	Should he refuse to ride on a wing and let Johnny fly off without him?
14486	Since the Thunder Bird was not here, why should strangers be shot at?
14486	So he did start, just as I told him to do-- and something awful has happened to him-- and where''s dad?"
14486	So please, dear, wo n''t you let us come up and talk nicely together?
14486	So you have no settled plans for the future, I take it?
14486	Starting an aviation school?"
14486	Ten minutes of joyride, at ten dollars per joy-- you mind the mob that follered us to the hotel just for a look- in?
14486	That''s fair enough, ai n''t it?
14486	That''s fair enough--""Then you wo n''t even listen to dad''s proposition?"
14486	The guards were still happily unaware of how they were going to worry later on, so why the shooting?
14486	The man could see everything-- but could he hear?
14486	The point is, it took_ money_ to do them things, did n''t it?
14486	Then why should you think you''ve got a right to butt in on my private business, I''d like to know?
14486	There were three hundred dollars left from what Bland had earned-- Bland-- What had become of Bland, anyway?
14486	They do n''t sabe flying machines-- see?
14486	Think she''ll lift us off the ground?"
14486	Think you''re heading a funeral?
14486	Three hundred bones the first day,--how''s that?
14486	Trouble?"
14486	Uncomfortably his memory visioned that other day( was it only yesterday morning?
14486	Want a lesson?"
14486	Want to show the boys a new stunt, Bland?
14486	Was it two miles to where they had turned out of the bean field on to the highway?
14486	Was n''t this very money-- thirty- two hundred dollars of it-- going to pay for that bit of gullibility?
14486	Was that only last night?
14486	We''ve earned one good meal, ai n''t we?
14486	Well, now, how''s this?"
14486	Were they still engaged, so long as she did not return his ring?
14486	Whadda yuh think?"
14486	What Johnny would like to know was, what had he done that he should be shot at?
14486	What about telephone wires and electric light wires and trolley wires?
14486	What about that mechanic?
14486	What are you doing over there?
14486	What are you looking for?
14486	What are you standing there holding up traffic for?
14486	What did anything matter?
14486	What do you mean by honest?"
14486	What else is there to do?"
14486	What good would it do him if Bland carried passengers from morning until night, every day of the six?
14486	What had become of the darned little runt?
14486	What if Bland were telling the truth?
14486	What if Johnny had actually dropped out of sight with five hundred dollars in his possession?
14486	What if he had struck too hard, had killed the man?
14486	What if you had been hurt somewhere?
14486	What more did it take, for gosh sake?
14486	What next?
14486	What was the use of tormenting himself further?
14486	What were six days-- five days now?
14486	What you been doing all day?"
14486	What you blocking traffic for?
14486	What you loafing for?
14486	What yuh want to sell it for, f''r cat''s sake?
14486	What''s that?
14486	What''s that?
14486	What''s the idea?
14486	What''s the idea?"
14486	What''s the little joker, Bland?"
14486	What''s the matter with this darned place?"
14486	What''s the matter with you?
14486	What, for gracious sake, ailed Johnny lately?
14486	What, for gracious sake, ever put that idea into your head?
14486	What, for gracious sake, was a hotel clerk for, if not to tell a person what she wanted to know?
14486	What?
14486	Where are you stopping?
14486	Where can I spot her-- out of the way?"
14486	Where do we light, in Mexico?
14486	Where do you get that?
14486	Where is Johnny?
14486	Where''s Johnny?"
14486	Where''s there any water?"
14486	Who was to keep tabs on how many passengers I took up?
14486	Who''s talking about cost?
14486	Who?
14486	Why did n''t he know where Johnny had gone?
14486	Why did n''t he tell me, if he thought I should wait until after my birthday?"
14486	Why do n''t you get in and locate the trouble?"
14486	Why do n''t you keep it?
14486	Why in the world did he keep harping on that one fact that Johnny had gone out and had not come back?
14486	Why just sail over a few houses and fly home?
14486	Why must a newspaper man bring back certain mysterious packages, and straightway disappear with them in the car?
14486	Why, for gracious sake, do you suppose I went and fixed his din-- dinner--?"
14486	Why, good golly, where did you come from?
14486	Why, you fool, they--""What the heck do I care about them?
14486	Why?
14486	Why?"
14486	Will I fly by moon- light?
14486	Will I?
14486	Will you sign a note for that three thousand, with interest at seven per cent., and give your flying machine as security?"
14486	Wo n''t you please see dad and be nice to him?
14486	Would Bland, when he came, have sense enough to send one around calling out"Mr. Jew- wel-- Mr. John- ny Jew- wel"?
14486	Would all that be necessary for a legitimate enterprise?
14486	Would all the barber shops be closed when they reached town?
14486	Would n''t the guards have orders to shut their eyes when an airplane flew high, bearing a man who gathered news vital to the government?
14486	Would she care whether she ever saw him again?
14486	Would they put him out, or would they think he was so rich and famous he did n''t give a darn?
14486	Would you like to talk with him yourself?
14486	Yes, who is this, please?
14486	Yon got ta have a flunkey, ai n''t yuh?
14486	You bring any guns?"
14486	You can make that easily enough, I suppose?"
14486	You did n''t fool around and let somebody else shoulder your responsibilities, did you?
14486	You get me?"
14486	You get that, do you?
14486	You got a gun?"
14486	You know what they thought?
14486	You mean Schwab?"
14486	You never knew you''d turn out to be a stunt flyer, hey?
14486	You sabe that?"
14486	You tell that to every one, Mr. Sheriff, will you, please?
14486	You want us both to git killed?
14486	You would have to-- what about your mechanic?"
14486	You''ll do as I tell you, or I''ll--""Now will you shut up?"
14486	You''ve accepted my note, and you''ve got your security, and what the hell more do you want?"
14486	You--""The trouble is that I was n''t killed?
