3475Ah, hell, what you givin''us?
3475All right,said the man,"what''s the use of asking?
3475An ice- box or a hot box?
3475And anyhow, when were you made his godfather?
3475And just how, may I ask, do you make environment count on the balance- sheet? 3475 And now,"said Compton,"if you are satisfied with the salary, when can you start?"
3475And suppose he asks you why?
3475And then you went upstairs and found Mr. Compton dead?
3475And this enclosure?
3475And what else? 3475 And what''s that?"
3475And you forged these names?
3475Are the police on your trail?
3475Are you sure you looked in the right compartment?
3475Are you sure,he asked the clerk,"that my replies have n''t been sidetracked somewhere?

3475But wo n''t he have it in for you?
3475But you admit he loaned you one?
3475By the way, you do n''t happen to know of a good stenographer, do you? 3475 Can I help you any?"
3475Can she see any one?
3475Could n''t he do it now?
3475Cracking a box?
3475Did any one hurt you miss?

3475Did n''t I see ye flag this guy whin he came in?
3475Did n''t he knock you down once for insulting a girl?
3475Did n''t you like the job as general manager?
3475Did you ever see that before?
3475Did you ever see this pistol before?
3475Did you ever,said Harriet Holden,"see anything so weird as the way we keep bumping into that stocking- counter young man?"
3475Did you?
3475Did you?
3475Do I have to have experience to be an office- boy?
3475Do something devilish?
3475Do you dare me?
3475Do you expect to continue in this line of work?
3475Do you know where Feinheimer''s is?
3475Do you know who the biggest backers of that graft were?
3475Do you know,said Harriet, after Elizabeth had gone,"she really feels worse over her past attitude toward you than she does over Harold''s death?
3475Do you mean,she said,"because it''s my-- because of what I am?"
3475Do you still breakfast at Feinheimer''s?
3475Do you suppose that I would marry a man whom I did n''t love?
3475Do you think Elizabeth guessed what was in your mind?
3475Do you want to make some coin?
3475Ever see this before?
3475Feinheimer can you?
3475For whom did you work?
3475Friend of yours?
3475Goin''to crack a box?
3475Got anything else in view?
3475Have the men been complaining at all?
3475Have you got the goods on him?
3475Have you?
3475He certainly could,agreed Harriet; and then suddenly:"Why, what''s the matter, Elizabeth?
3475He got that information from every man in the shop?
3475He is a square guy, is n''t he?
3475He was nice- looking, was n''t he? 3475 How are you going to help him?"
3475How did that happen?
3475How is she?
3475How long do you suppose father would keep you after I told him what I know of you? 3475 How many years have you had in the sash, door and blind business?"

3475How much of old man Compton''s money did you get tonight?
3475How much of your time do you have to put in at your occupation to make a living?
3475How much?
3475How much?
3475How the hell did you know?
3475How''d you like a job as one of Brophy''s sparring partners?
3475How?
3475How?
3475I am free now,he said,"with the exception of a little personal business which I can doubtless finish up tomorrow-- suppose I come Thursday?"
3475I have been thinking of it,she said;"do you want me to?"
3475I have to like you in order to love you, do n''t I?
3475I see,said Jimmy;"but do n''t he pay any wages?"
3475I wonder what''s the matter with me?
3475I wonder,she said as she returned to her room,"if he is going to be like the rest?"
3475I wonder,thought Jimmy as he started for home,"if I have gone up a notch in the social scale or down a notch?
3475Is Mr. Torrance down yet?
3475Is he paying anything at all?
3475Is it perfectly proper for young ladies to drive around the streets of a big city alone after dark?
3475Is n''t it wonderful,exclaimed Harriet,"what a transformation a few lights make?
3475Is she very sick?
3475Is that all?
3475Is that one of Torrance''s suggestions?
3475Is that the usual percentage?
3475Is that you, Carl?
3475Is that you, Edith?
3475Is there something wrong at the plant?
3475Is this Feinheimer''s?
3475It looks pretty bad for him, do n''t it? 3475 It might be a good thing to have up his sleeve,"replied the girl, and then suddenly,"do you believe in hunches?"
3475It''s not that had, is it?
3475It''s you, is it? 3475 Jimmy,"she said,"will you stay with me until I go?"
3475Jimmy,she whispered,"you are free?
3475Just how do you purpose proceeding?
3475Just what do you mean by immediately?
3475Krovac,he said,"you do n''t like this man Torrance, do you?"
3475Like me?
3475Lose your job?
3475May I see her this evening?
3475Meaning?
3475Mighty nice of him,thought Jimmy, and then to the nurse:"And the flowers, too?
3475Miss anything?
3475Now do you recall?
3475Now do you recognize it?
3475Oh, it''s you, is it?
3475Oh, what the hell do we care?
3475Oh,said Jimmy,"if I ever want any one to break into a safe, come to you, huh?"
3475On Indiana near Eighteenth?
3475Or sell stockings?
3475Rather unusual, is n''t it?
3475She comes every evening?
3475So, it''s you again, is it?
3475Strong?
3475Suppose we go to Feinheimer''s restaurant and see if we ca n''t get that table that I used to eat at when you waited on me?
3475Take flowers and cake to him in jail?
3475The basement joint on Wells Street?
3475Then,said Bince,"I take it that he really has n''t interfered with you much?"
3475There what?
3475To eat,said Jimmy, and then prompted by the instincts of his earlier training and without appreciable pause:"Wo n''t you take dinner with me?"
3475Torrance was there?
3475Under what circumstances?
3475Want to sit in a little game to- night, Harold?
3475Well, Krovac,he said as he came upon the man,"is Torrance interfering with you any now?"
3475Well, Mr. Torrance,asked that gentleman,"what can I do for you?"
3475Well, O''Donnell, what''s doing?
3475Well, what luck?
3475Well, who is she?
3475Well,inquired the Lizard,"What''s on your mind?"
3475Well,said the cracksman,"how''s every little thing?"
3475Well,said the girl,"are you going to beat it or are you going to stick around here bothering us all evening?
3475Well?
3475Well?
3475Well?
3475Well?
3475What are you going to do now?
3475What are you going to drink?
3475What are you trying to do?
3475What did he tell him?
3475What did you do with it?

3475What do you think the work would be worth to you?
3475What do you want to do?
3475What do you want, and how did you know I was in town?
3475What do you want?
3475What do you want?
3475What doing?
3475What experience have you had?
3475What experience you had? 3475 What fellow?"
3475What gets us out so early? 3475 What happened?"
3475What is it?
3475What is it?
3475What is the matter?
3475What is there in it?
3475What kind of a place you think I run, young man?
3475What makes you think so?
3475What of it?
3475What shall we take?
3475What was the amount of the check for the pay- roll for this week, Everett?
3475What would you have gotten on this watch of mine?
3475What you advertising for?
3475What you doin''?
3475What you think I hire you for? 3475 What''s all the excitement about?"
3475What''s his graft?
3475What''s his name?
3475What''s new?
3475What''s the matter now? 3475 What''s the matter with you tonight, anyway, Harold?"
3475What''s the matter with you, Harold?
3475What''s the matter with you?
3475What''s the matter?
3475What, for instance?
3475When do I go to work?
3475When do I pull this off?

3475Where''s de place?
3475Where''s the gat?
3475Where''s your room?

3475Who could there be, then, who might wish to kill him, and what could the motive be?
3475Who is going to pay you?
3475Who is it?
3475Who the hell are you?
3475Who?
3475Whom?
3475Why do n''t you get a position again as a stenographer?
3475Why do n''t you try it?
3475Why do we need an efficiency expert? 3475 Why not?"
3475Why not?
3475Why should he be pinched?
3475Why should n''t I be?
3475Why this spasm of virtue?
3475Why, what''s wrong? 3475 Will you tell the jury, please, of any occurrence that you witnessed there that afternoon out of the ordinary?"
3475Wo n''t you come up?
3475Wo n''t you let me help you?
3475Working on the pay- roll?
3475Wot t''hell yuh doin''?
3475Would you recognize him if you saw him again?
3475Yes,replied Jimmy;"do you?"
3475You are running into no difficulties then? 3475 You been against it, bo, have n''t you?"
3475You called the defendant on the telephone a half or three- quarters of an hour before the police discovered Mr. Compton''s body, did you not?
3475You confine yourself,asked Jimmy,"to-- er-- ah-- pocket- picking solely?"
3475You do n''t want him pinched?
3475You have n''t got much use for him, have you?
3475You know the defendant, James Torrance?

3475You live here?
3475You mean Mr. Torrance, the defendant?
3475You mean that your client is going to pay for my defense? 3475 You mean the pay- roll?"
3475You mean there are no such men?
3475You never saw it before?
3475You really believe it is as bad as that, Harold?
3475You refuse to leave, then?
3475You say that a man came down from Mr. Compton''s office just before you went up? 3475 You say this is not your pistol?"
3475You say you could n''t identify the pistol?
3475You want them two new guys that are working in the office croaked, too?
3475You were seen in Feinheimer''s with Mr. Bince on March-- Do you recall the object of this meeting?
3475You will get it, wo n''t you?
3475You wo n''t let me see it then?
3475You would n''t do that, Harry?
3475You would tell him that?
3475You''re sure dat''s all?
3475You''re up against it, kid, ai n''t you?
3475Your father is a business man?
3475Your fri''nd and you?
3475And, turning to Jimmy:"How can I ever repay you?
3475Bince?"
3475But what of it?"
3475But why enter into the harrowing details of the ensuing minute and a half?
3475Compton?"
3475Did you notice how he flushed when he asked you what size?"
3475Did you see his face?"
3475Do n''t you suppose you could persuade him to take a trip?
3475Do you know where he is?"
3475Do you see anything about my clothes that indicates efficiency?"
3475Do you wish to see him?"
3475Does he send those?"
3475Elizabeth turned slowly upon her friend,"You do n''t like Harold,"she said;"why is it?"
3475Have you a pistol?"
3475Have you seen anything of a letter from Mosher?"
3475How did you come to know him?"
3475How did you do it?"
3475How do you account for it?"
3475How is your father?"
3475I suppose that you have had a great deal of experience along this line?"
3475I was wondering if I could n''t drag you out to listen to my troubles?"
3475I wonder under what circumstances we see him next?"
3475I wonder, Jimmy, how they get that way?"
3475Is n''t everything perfectly satisfactory?
3475Is there any way in which I can help you?"
3475Lizard?"
3475Looking for an assistant general manager?"
3475Murray?"
3475Now that you know that I know you to be an impostor, what do you intend to do?"
3475Now, do you get me?"
3475Now, what arrangement can we make?"
3475Please,"she continued,"just try it for a gamble?"
3475Shall I have her call on you?"
3475Suppose I was drivin''a milk- wagon, gettin''up at t''ree o''clock in the mornin''and workin''like hell-- how much would I get out of dat?
3475Then:"What have you that''s good?"
3475To beat up my best customer?"
3475Torrance?"
3475Torrance?"
3475UP OR DOWN?
3475What are you doing here anyway?"
3475What do you want?"
3475What else can you do?"
3475What happened after that?"
3475What in the world do you suppose his profession is anyway?
3475What kind of a job you got?"
3475What shall we do?"
3475What time was that?"
3475What wages do you get?"
3475What''s an efficiency expert?"
3475What''s his name?"
3475What''s the matter with him anyway?"
3475When do you expect to start these accountants in?"
3475When does he want me?"
3475Where in the world did you get this silly idea?"
3475Who would ever think of State Street as a fairy- land?
3475Who you been with, and how many years?"
3475You have n''t got any love for Murray, have you?"
3475cried that young lady,"where have you been all this time, and what''s happened to you?
3475she asked, and without waiting for an answer,"Why do n''t you work for him?"
34592A Green Room?
34592A cocktail room perhaps?
34592A deal?
34592A hard day, Dad?
34592A message from whom?
34592A tidy little sum of money, or the asylum?
34592An important story?
34592And admit you were in the wrong when you''re certain you were n''t?
34592And do n''t the newspapers always arrive?
34592And do you know how to avoid it?
34592And how does one go about acquiring a free coat? 34592 And if one has a rush message to send after that hour?"
34592And if you fail?
34592And that goes double, I take it?
34592And the sleds?
34592And there''s nothing you can do about it?
34592And what are you doing in this part of the hotel?
34592And what is it? 34592 And what will your grandfather say if he learns about it?"
34592And who are these men of mystery?
34592And who is Jake?
34592And who is he? 34592 And who is he?"
34592And you do n''t mind deceiving your grandfather?
34592And you?
34592Any newspapers tonight?
34592Anyone else hurt, Sara?
34592Are n''t you drawing rather sweeping conclusions?
34592Blank days?
34592But how could Francine have learned about it so soon?
34592But how to prove it?
34592But how would he profit by not receiving them?
34592But how? 34592 But there is no newspaper in Pine Top, I wonder--?"
34592But what happened to the papers today?
34592But what is the attraction of this place, if not the skiing?
34592But what significance_ could_ it have?
34592But why should your lodge annoy them? 34592 But you do it anyway?"
34592Ca n''t the story be proven? 34592 Ca n''t you deal with the son?"
34592Ca n''t you even ski with me for half an hour?
34592Ca n''t you get up your nerve?
34592Ca n''t you think of anything else to do?
34592Ca n''t you understand plain language?
34592Ca n''t you use the run again this year?
34592Can I buy a newspaper here?
34592Can you climb a flight of stairs?
34592Can you help me get out of here?
34592Can you identify him?
34592Can you really get a good fur coat for as little as a hundred dollars?
34592Coming, Penny?
34592Costume?
34592Could n''t you slow down or was it too icy?
34592Dad, you''ll honestly try to come to Pine Top for Christmas?
34592Did I make a mistake in letting her know that you were n''t on an assignment?
34592Did n''t your grandfather say anything about last time?
34592Did you ever hear of a Green Room at the Fergus hotel?
34592Did you lock the tool house last night, Jake?
34592Did you see me make the jump?
34592Did you two decide to change places?
34592Did you wish to see me?
34592Do you have an extra costume?
34592Do you know if they have a guest named David Balantine?
34592Do you know them?
34592Do you mean messages one can read?
34592Do you mean your new employer?
34592Do you really like my new wardrobe, dearie?
34592Do you see what I see?
34592Does it hurt to upset?
34592Does your grandfather often leave you like this?
34592Fergus, eh? 34592 Francine?
34592Francine?
34592From Benny? 34592 From what office are the messages being sent and for what purpose?"
34592Going back up the mountain?
34592Harvey Maxwell?
34592Has Mr. Fergus tried to buy your lodge?
34592Has he?
34592Have you caught any more witch dolls?
34592Have you decided to use the run after all?
34592Have you ever tried giving your father a list?
34592Have you hurt yourself again?
34592He is n''t sick?
34592He isn''t--?
34592He would n''t change his story?
34592He''s made a large amount of money from his hotels, has n''t he?
34592He_ likes_ me?
34592How about the windows?
34592How did you get it?
34592How do I get there?
34592How do you like it?
34592How do you mean, Penny?
34592How does one go about obtaining a card for the Green Room?
34592How does one obtain a card of admission?
34592How far is it from here to the border?
34592How late is your office open?
34592How long before we reach Pine Top?
34592How long have you been there?
34592How long will you stay at the Fergus hotel?
34592How will I ever get out of this hole?
34592How would you like to have me solve the mystery for you?
34592How?
34592How?
34592Hurt?
34592I beg your pardon,she said,"can you tell me how to find the Green Room?"
34592I suppose you get a commission on every garment sold?
34592I told you to stay away, did n''t I?
34592I wonder how the Fergus- Maxwell interests are enjoying it?
34592I wonder if that means me?
34592I wonder if the Fergus hotel managed to get any?
34592I wonder if you could help me?
34592I wonder if you could tell me what seems to be the trouble with the newspaper delivery service here at Pine Top?
34592I wonder what happened to the brake? 34592 I wonder who that girl was at the window?"
34592I wonder why?
34592In this storm?
34592Is he entirely right in his mind?
34592Is it always so cold here?
34592Is it for a party?
34592Is it still possible to make a reservation for Pine Top?
34592Is n''t he the man who owns the Riverview Hotel?
34592Is n''t it a rather long chance to take?
34592Is n''t that the usual condition of a newspaper publisher?
34592Is n''t your grandfather here?
34592Is she a reporter?
34592Is that a promise?
34592Is that the best you can say for it? 34592 Is that where you are going?"
34592Is that where you live?
34592Is the plane service under the control of the Fergus- Maxwell interests?
34592Is there a chance he''ll give his consent?
34592Is there no other person at Pine Top who could do it?
34592It was true though?
34592Jake, does this belong to you?
34592Just what is the Green Room anyway?
34592Like it there?
34592Looking for someone?
34592May I ride with you?
34592Miss Miller, you''re not by chance working for Ralph Fergus or the hotel?
34592Mrs. Downey is n''t using the bob- sled run this year, is she?
34592Need you tell her?
34592New York Times?
34592Nor at the Fergus hotel?
34592Not even if I have lost my card?
34592Not the slopes connected with this lodge?
34592Nothing I can say will make you reconsider?
34592Notice anything queer about it, Penny?
34592Now what have we here?
34592Now what?
34592Now would you be able to pay as much as a hundred dollars for a coat?
34592Now?
34592Oh, Penny,protested Mrs. Downey anxiously,"do n''t you think you should have stayed in bed?
34592Oh, and you like to ski,said Penny,"is that it?"
34592Oh, are you taking this plane?
34592Oh, are you traveling to Pine Top, too?
34592Oh, do you ski?
34592Oh, may I ask a favor?
34592Oh, so it''s_ you_? 34592 Oh, why pose, Penny?
34592Or is this another one of the blank days?
34592Or should I say_ something_?
34592Penny, are you hurt?
34592Please, would you mind pointing that cannon in some other direction? 34592 Ready to try the jump, Penny?"
34592Recommendations?
34592Say, are you suggesting--?
34592Sellberg?
34592Shall I help you inside?
34592She ai n''t that girl reporter that''s been stayin''here at the hotel?
34592Sleep? 34592 So Maxwell was expecting me to come here to make a deal with him?"
34592So late at night?
34592So the screws are to be twisted a bit harder?
34592So what''s the use of telling you?
34592So you really do n''t know their names?
34592So?
34592Something unusual is going on here, but what?
34592Staying at the Downey Lodge?
34592Suppose you tell me why I am going to Pine Top mountain?
34592Tell me, do I look too dreadful?
34592The doors on this floor?
34592The plane came in, did n''t it?
34592The producer? 34592 The toboggan slide is n''t dangerous, is it?"
34592Then he put it up on purpose?
34592Then how do I get the papers for Mrs. Downey''s lodge?
34592Then why did the football player change his story?
34592Then why do n''t you see him? 34592 There''s no chance they can trump up a story and get free?"
34592There, how does it feel now?
34592To go so far just in the hope of seeing this man?
34592Traveling alone?
34592Trick?
34592Up the mountain or down?
34592We-- we''re in the air now, are n''t we?
34592Well, how did you like the skiing?
34592Well--Penny hesitated,"could we enter the hotel by the back way?"
34592Were you able to get the newspapers?
34592Were you wanting to get into this room?
34592What about Fergus and Maxwell?
34592What about our tracks in the snow?
34592What are these for?
34592What are you doing here?
34592What are you going to do?
34592What brings you to the airport?
34592What can the message mean? 34592 What could have happened to Grandfather?"
34592What did you ask him for this year?
34592What do you know about it?
34592What do you say? 34592 What does a button have to do with the bob- sled accident?"
34592What does that mean?
34592What goes on in there anyway? 34592 What happened?"
34592What has snow to do with it?
34592What have you found?
34592What is the meaning of this intrusion?
34592What makes you say that, Jerry? 34592 What reason would I have for doing anything like that?"
34592What sort of car?
34592What was the big idea?
34592What will you do now? 34592 What would be the reason behind that?"
34592What would the hotel be doing with a teletype?
34592What''s the matter, Penny?
34592Whatever made it take you so long?
34592Whatever put such an idea in your head?
34592When does the case come to trial?
34592When will he be at the hotel?
34592When will the papers come?
34592Where could I see these coats?
34592Where did you get your ticket?
34592Where is grandfather?
34592Where is the Green Room, please?
34592Where will you go if you leave here?
34592Where''s that?
34592Which way are you going?
34592Who are those men?
34592Who cares?
34592Who covered the story, Dad?
34592Who do you think I am?
34592Who is she?
34592Who is this man?
34592Who is your employer, Miss Miller? 34592 Who knows?
34592Who occupies Room 27?
34592Who occupies the nearby rooms?
34592Who would n''t? 34592 Who_ are_ they?"
34592Why did he lock you up here?
34592Why did n''t you order the store sent out and be done with it?
34592Why do n''t we bury the hatchet and work together on this thing? 34592 Why do n''t you shoot once or twice into the air just to give''em a good fright?"
34592Why do n''t you tell him the truth? 34592 Why do they want your place?"
34592Why is he suing the_ Star_ for libel, Dad?
34592Why not break down and tell me the identity of our two fellow passengers?
34592Why not put an end to all this nonsense, Francine? 34592 Why should she wish to do that?"
34592Why, what has happened?
34592Will you be able to manage?
34592Will you just read this, please, Mr. Jasko? 34592 Will you need the attendant to turn on the current for you?"
34592Wonder what she''s doing here?
34592Would you like to have one like it?
34592Would you like to walk along?
34592Would you mind?
34592You ai n''t locked out again?
34592You are an actress?
34592You did n''t see him go away?
34592You did n''t spend much time in the Green Room, did you?
34592You did, Penny? 34592 You do n''t by any chance know either of those men?"
34592You do n''t think Ralph Fergus or Harvey Maxwell have influenced Jasko?
34592You do, eh?
34592You have your card, Madam?
34592You mean they came through?
34592You mean, you''re aimin''to have me adjudged insane?
34592You surely do n''t mean you would deliberately defraud the hotel?
34592You told him all about it I suppose?
34592You work here, do n''t you?
34592You''re certain it was in good condition last night?
34592You''re looking for someone?
34592You''re not a guest here?
34592You''re not a guest here?
34592You''re not aiming to run away?
34592You''re not forgetting Mrs. Downey''s place?
34592You''re not locked in?
34592You''re probably only going a short ways?
34592You''re sensitive about being crippled?
34592You''re starting Thursday, are n''t you?
34592You''re sure the connection has been made?
34592You''re the Jasko girl, are n''t you, whose grandfather will not allow skiers on his property?
34592You''re the manager of the hotel, are n''t you?
34592You-- you think Grandfather met with violence?
34592Your ankle?
34592Your father has had dealings with him?
34592Your friend?
34592Your grandfather?
34592Your interview did n''t turn out as you expected?
34592Your new fur coat? 34592 Your proof?"
34592Your room is n''t on this floor, is it?
34592A book or a magazine?"
34592A dining room?"
34592ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?"
34592Addressing the prisoner she demanded:"Is n''t it true that there is a direct wire connection between this hotel and the one in Riverview?"
34592And what did Francine know about it?
34592And what was she trying to tell me?"
34592And you''ll come back soon, wo n''t you, Penny?"
34592Any excitement?"
34592Are n''t you mistaken?
34592Are they selling something?"
34592Are you ready to sign the lease?"
34592Are you sure it is the same man?
34592Are you traveling incognito or something?"
34592As I was telling Mr. Jasko last night--""You were talking with Peter Jasko?"
34592Brakes in good order, Jake?"
34592But as she turned it over she saw a single line of jumbled letters: YL GFZKY GLULFFLS"What can this be?"
34592But had it ever reached the_ Star_ office?
34592But we want it, see?
34592But what can I do?"
34592But why did Maxwell and Fergus find it necessary to employ one?
34592CAN YOU GET AN INTERVIEW WITH SHERIFF CLAUSSON?"
34592CHAPTER 12_ THE GREEN CARD_"Do you always talk to yourself?"
34592CHAPTER 6_ PENNY TRESPASSES_"Ca n''t you understand signs?"
34592Clausson?"
34592Did your grandfather have enemies?"
34592Do n''t you envy us?"
34592Do n''t you think I might at least get an advertising circular?"
34592Do n''t you think you could take two weeks off anyhow, Dad?
34592Do n''t you think you might be interested in one yourself?"
34592Do you feel better, Penny?"
34592Do you have a master key?"
34592Do you have a pain somewhere?"
34592Do you hear it?"
34592Do you think I could?"
34592Downey?"
34592Downey?"
34592Downey?"
34592Fergus?"
34592For the skiing?"
34592From whom had Ralph Fergus received the coded note, and what was its meaning?
34592Gaining control of himself, Peter Jasko demanded gruffly:"Hurt?"
34592Get me?"
34592Glasser?"
34592Go back home?"
34592Harvey Maxwell was speaking:"Well, Jasko, have you thought it over?
34592He''s getting on in years and I''m afraid--""Jake, could n''t we go up to Hatter''s place, wherever it is?"
34592How about it?"
34592How do you like my suit?"
34592How else can one explain your fanatical hatred of skiing, your blind rages, your antagonism to the more progressive interests?
34592How would you like that?"
34592How would you like to earn some more money?"
34592I suppose you''ll be going soon, then?"
34592I wonder if maybe I have n''t stumbled into something?"
34592I''m not certain about the rest--""No?"
34592Injured yourself, too, did n''t you?"
34592Is n''t it glorious skiing weather?
34592Is n''t it new?"
34592Is n''t it?"
34592Is she leaving Pine Top?"
34592Is that clear?"
34592Jasko?"
34592Jasko?"
34592Might it not have been printed by a teletype machine?
34592Mind waiting a few minutes?"
34592My goodness, are n''t your tastes rather expensive?"
34592Oh, by the way, any mail?"
34592One of the owners of the hotel?"
34592Or do I mean a gazelle?"
34592Otherwise, why had Francine been sent to the mountain resort?
34592Penny nudged Louise and whispered in her ear:"Did you hear that?"
34592Penny read the message twice, scowling at the sentence:"Are you sure it is the same man?"
34592Penny started to turn away, and then asked with attempted carelessness:"What''s going on in there anyway?
34592Penny waited until the reporter had left the office and then said apologetically:"I do n''t suppose you''ve received any message for me?"
34592Right?"
34592Say tomorrow at two?"
34592Seeing Francine standing near, she turned to the reporter and exclaimed:"Did you watch Sara''s jump?
34592Shall we be going out to the plane before I miss it?"
34592Shall we work together and let bygones be bygones?"
34592Should n''t I have told him?"
34592Someone connected with the hotel?"
34592Surely you are n''t serious about giving up your lodge?"
34592Tell me, is this hotel close to the old silver mine?"
34592The two men went up to the desk and the portly one addressed the clerk curtly:"You have our reservations for Pine Top?"
34592There she paused to inquire:"Anything I can bring you, Penny?
34592Understand?"
34592WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE ME FOR XMAS?
34592WHEN ARE YOU COMING TO PINE TOP?
34592WHO UNCOVERED THE STORY?"
34592Was it possible that a plot was being hatched against her father''s friend?
34592Was n''t it magnificent?"
34592What are you bringing him here for?"
34592What are you doing here?"
34592What did Mr. Jasko say?"
34592What did they have to say?
34592What happened?"
34592What is it, Penny?"
34592What must I do to acquire one-- rob a bank?"
34592What time is it?"
34592What was it you wished to know?"
34592Where shall we ski today?"
34592Why did n''t he come along?"
34592Why do n''t we pool our interests and work together?"
34592Why do you suppose she''s going to Pine Top?
34592Why worry about Francine and the silly old Green Room?
34592Why, what is the matter?
34592Will you help me out of here?"
34592With a quick change of mood she inquired:"What''s doing down at the hotel?
34592Would you like that?"
34592You did n''t by chance get that role from David Balantine?"
34592You did n''t notice any automobile on the main road this morning did you?"
34592You do n''t believe in signs either, do you?"
34592You noticed that, I suppose?"
34592You tell Mrs. Downey I''ll try to get up to the lodge tomorrow morning, and we''ll try out the track together, eh Penny?"
34592You''re Penelope Parker, are n''t you?"
34592You''ve not become a professional model?"
45417All right for me to shin up?
45417All set?
45417All set?
45417An''Marse Joyce figured he''d beat it to Rooshia jes''as soon as he could put his han''s on de plans?
45417And he let you go after you''d worked for him all that time?
45417And how do you expect to do that without being nabbed right off the bat?
45417And if your father really wrote a letter to you, and they knew it-- why did they wait nearly three months before they tried to steal it?
45417And they would n''t believe you, eh?
45417And what''s on the farther side of the Joyce property?
45417And what''s the other?
45417And what,asked the portly gentleman, coming at once to the point,"will you take for that motor, Miss Dixon?"
45417And when you sight the historic mansion?
45417And why did they start in using strong arm stuff right off the bat?
45417And you want to come? 45417 And-- and you carried me all this way?"
45417Are n''t hurt, are you?
45417Are you deaf?
45417Are you hurt, Bill?
45417Are you just stubborn, or in your dotage? 45417 Betty, be- have, will you?
45417Betty, you stay here, and--"And have them break in the back door while you two are in the front hall? 45417 But do n''t you see?
45417But do n''t you think you''d better get out your revolver, Dorothy? 45417 But how come, Dorothy?"
45417But how on earth can we find it in the dark?
45417But how on earth-- did they say anything about the contents of the letter?
45417But if Joyce was in business with Mr. Conway, why did n''t Stoker mention that?
45417But is the rope long enough?
45417But not so good on a rainy night, eh? 45417 But please tell me what it is you''re trying to find?"
45417But suppose this one is?
45417But suppose those men have come back?
45417But tell me-- what did you do to that crew outside?
45417But that does n''t get us anywhere, does it?
45417But there is a way out?
45417But what plans?
45417But what''ll you do about my slicker, Bill? 45417 But what''s that rabbit got to do with our tracks?"
45417But what''s the use of hangin''round?
45417But what_ was_ Joyce after?
45417But who is this Mr. Joyce you speak of, Uncle?
45417But who''s going to wash all these dishes?
45417But will the tree hold us both? 45417 But your wet clothes, Miss Dixon?"
45417But-- suppose you are n''t able to get to a window?
45417By the way, Mrs. Johnson, I wonder if we can trespass on your good humor still further?
45417Can you run now?
45417Catch anything?
45417Count yourself out? 45417 D''you think I''d let_ Wispy_ mash up my best friend?
45417Den yo''all knows Marse George?
45417Did you bring some extra gas for_ Wispy_?
45417Did you find the book he wanted?
45417Did you get the police?
45417Did you speak?
45417Do n''t answer me back that way, do you hear?
45417Do n''t tell me you can actually see to dodge these branches and tree trunks?
45417Do you come from New Canaan?
45417Do you happen to have an extra car that we could borrow for a few hours?
45417Do you happen to have the copy that was sent you, here in the house?
45417Do you know where Mr. Joyce and his men are now?
45417Do you know where they are?
45417Do you know who he is?
45417Do you mind saying how much?
45417Do you really think they''ve gone?
45417Do you think I''m enjoying this? 45417 Do you think he really is mixed up with J. J. J. in this business?"
45417Do you think it possible that old Lewis knew that your Father wrote you that letter-- and believes that it''s in this house? 45417 Do you think the letter Mr. Conway is supposed to have written Stoker could possibly have had anything to do with patents?"
45417Do? 45417 Dollars?"
45417Dorothy''s some little bargainer, ai n''t she?
45417Everything all right?
45417Going to call up Stoker?
45417Got any ideas?
45417Got your knitting and everything? 45417 Had n''t I better call in Marse Bill?"
45417Had n''t I better carry it down the hill?
45417Had n''t you better introduce your friends? 45417 Has Mr. Lewis ever spoken to you about it?"
45417Has yo''all heard de news, Liza?
45417Have you read it, Conway?
45417He''s such a good- looking boy, too-- don''t tell me they''ve killed him or anything?
45417Heard about you both-- who has n''t? 45417 Him and me both, eh?
45417Ho-- how come I ca n''t do it, Abe? 45417 How about it, Uncle Abe?
45417How about me?
45417How about me?
45417How about the chances we''ll take in breaking into Nearma?
45417How about the coffee, Bill?
45417How about the fame you won in the diamond smuggling case? 45417 How come Marse Bill was able ter build dat engin''?
45417How come, uncle?
45417How did you find out?
45417How did you happen to go there last night?
45417How did you know there was a river down in the valley?
45417How do we get to it, Uncle?
45417How do we know that friend Joyce has n''t got hold of Stoker and possibly Terry, too?
45417How do you do it?
45417How do you figure that?
45417How do you get that way, Betty? 45417 How far does it go?"
45417How in the world did you manage this?
45417How many are still here?
45417How safe?
45417How should I know?
45417How''s that?
45417I said why keep the secret to yourself? 45417 I suppose you know the cook over there, Uncle?"
45417I suppose you want me to open it?
45417I wonder why Father did n''t tell me of those plans?
45417In other words, why must you put in your foot every time you open your mouth? 45417 Is folks a- follerin''yo''chill''un?"
45417Is n''t he perfectly sweet?
45417Is n''t it terrible?
45417Is that all clear?
45417Is that you, Dorothy?
45417Is there another way?
45417Is your ladyship ready to go now?
45417It''s about time we beat it over to Stoker''s, do n''t you think?
45417It''s none of my particular business, of course, but would you mind telling me the reason for all this rough house? 45417 Jones''Aircraft Power Plants, was n''t it?"
45417Joyce could n''t try to steal patents registered in Mr. Conway''s name, could he?
45417Let''s see-- where was I? 45417 Look here, supper''s nearly ready, and since I''ve set everybody else to work, suppose I give you a job, too?
45417Mind if I come in for a minute or two?
45417Mr. Lewis, do you mind if I take it home with me?
45417Must be what?
45417Near ma?
45417Nice lady- like reputation, what?
45417No-- have you?
45417Not afraid to stay here, are you?
45417Not very subtle, were they? 45417 Obey orders?"
45417Oh, is he? 45417 Oh, is that so?
45417Oh, you do, do you?
45417Oh,_ yeah_?
45417Old Lewis?
45417Open up, do you hear, River? 45417 Questions?"
45417Right here? 45417 River?
45417Say, are you crazy, or am I?
45417Say, it''s great, the way you''ve pitched in here-- did you have a hard time finding things?
45417See here, will you pipe down?
45417So you think it was your tracks we followed?
45417So you''d been surprised, eh?
45417Some wonderworker, is n''t she?
45417Surely you''re not going to show a light?
45417Taking a--_warm_?
45417That''s interesting-- wonder what he wants with George?
45417That''s the question--_can_ we do anything?
45417The letter is--?
45417The one you saw, Terry?
45417The super''s house is right across the reservation from here, if I recall rightly?
45417The white one in the trees?
45417Then who is?
45417Think we''d better get back to the house?
45417Think you can find the cart road?
45417Think you could pilot us down there and give those guys in the woods the miss?
45417Those guys below us know we''re up here, so what does it matter?
45417Turn to the right?
45417Uncle Abe,she said, looking straight into his shining eyes,"do you really like living up there in the woods, all by yourself?"
45417Wat''s all dis I''m a- hearin''?
45417We want some clothesline, to tie up these here nuisances-- an''if you do n''t cough some up right now-- I''ll bump you off, see?
45417Well, I apologize for us all,Bill leaned across the table,"we were only kidding you-- weren''t we, Betty?"
45417Well, Uncle?
45417Well, are you game?
45417Well, then you must have read about Mr. Bolton, here, too? 45417 Well, we''ve got to get off this reservation-- how are we going to do it?"
45417Well, what of it? 45417 Well, what''s the dope?"
45417Well, what''s the dope?
45417Well, what''s the good word now, Dorothy?
45417Well, why ca n''t you help me?
45417Well, why do n''t you speak?
45417Well-- what do you think we''ve run into-- a college houseparty or something?
45417Well?
45417Whar dey at?
45417What I mean is, could you hear the bell ring in Stoker''s house?
45417What I want to know,she said in conclusion,"is how they happened to catch you napping-- and what''s become of George Conway and Betty?"
45417What are we going to do?
45417What are you doing?
45417What are you talking about?
45417What are you trying to do, Bill, evade my question?
45417What are you waiting for?
45417What business is that of yours?
45417What can I do for you?
45417What can those people be after if it is n''t the patents on Mr. Conway''s inventions?
45417What d''you take us for-- a pair of fools? 45417 What dey doin''uphyar in de woods at dis time o''night?"
45417What did I tell you?
45417What did his card say, I mean?
45417What do you plan to do? 45417 What fo''yo''all chasin''dese hyar chillun in de woods?"
45417What happened tonight, before we came?
45417What if they wo n''t let us in?
45417What is it you''re driving at?
45417What is it?
45417What kept you so long, Bill?
45417What of it? 45417 What on earth is it?"
45417What patents?
45417What price rock salt?
45417What rope?
45417What say? 45417 What say?"
45417What say?
45417What say?
45417What say?
45417What trails were you on?
45417What tree?
45417What''ll I do if it''s locked?
45417What''s become of them?
45417What''s that got to do with it? 45417 What''s the matter?"
45417What''s the next move?
45417What''s your big idea, Terry?
45417What-- what are you afraid of, Dorothy?
45417What-- what''s the matter?
45417What? 45417 What?"
45417Where am I?
45417Where are the plans, and what has the book to do with them?
45417Where are we?
45417Where are your visitors?
45417Where did all these swell eggs come from, Uncle?
45417Where do they keep the bread box in this house, anyway?
45417Where do we go from here?
45417Where do you get this''we''stuff?
45417Where do you suppose it goes?
45417Where have that boy and girl gone to?
45417Which one is that?
45417Which way is that woodlot trail from here?
45417Who are you-- and what do you want?
45417Who dat?
45417Who goes first? 45417 Who was that man, Uncle Abe?"
45417Who won the game?
45417Who would?
45417Who''s there?
45417Why are you so sure?
45417Why do n''t you do something, Chick?
45417Why not get them up here now?
45417Why not? 45417 Why so sarcastic?"
45417Why? 45417 Wonder who he''s working for?"
45417Yeah? 45417 Yes, yes, what of it?"
45417Yes? 45417 Yes?"
45417You did?
45417You do n''t know? 45417 You mean-- where we''re bound for?"
45417You mean-- which he left to Stoker?
45417You must be almost as good as Betty that is, I mean--"Who''s taking my name in vain?
45417You say that his father and Mr. Joyce were friends-- that they had dealings of some sort together?
45417You think they may still be in the offing?
45417You think, then, that he sold them before his death?
45417You''ve seen him before?
45417_ George?_exploded Dorothy.
45417_ He_ talked loud enough,--quite an old gentleman, is n''t he?
45417_ We?_Dorothy''s tone was richly sarcastic.
45417_ Where?_they cried in chorus.
45417A cup of tea, now, to warm you up and some of these nice crisp crullers I made yesterday?
45417All sereno here, I take it?"
45417All set?"
45417An''what do we use fer rope?"
45417And I suppose, after being up here for nearly ten years, you can find your way about in those woods?"
45417And how''s Betty tonight?
45417And to be honest, how can you expect me to guess the right answers when you do n''t know them yourself?
45417And what am I to do while you''re in the house mixing it up with those thugs?
45417And what is my important work to consist of?"
45417Answer me, ca n''t you?"
45417Any place in this hotel where I can wash and slick up a bit, Uncle?"
45417Bad night, is n''t it?"
45417Been reading the British poets or something?"
45417Bill Bolton, the flyer--?"
45417Bill, do you think they''ll find the chimney?"
45417Buckshot, at that distance?"
45417But are you sure I ca n''t tempt you to stay for Sunday dinner?
45417But how did you happen to be in here?"
45417But maybe there was no firm-- of Joyce and Conway?
45417But tell me, Auntie-- do you know where they''re keeping this young man?"
45417But there''s no hurry about your leavin'', is there?
45417But what did such trifles matter when one was bent upon a great achievement?
45417But what do you think''s happened?"
45417But where are Betty and George?"
45417By the way, do they teach English or just plain Connecticut Yankee at the New Canaan High?
45417By the way, which side of the river have you got the bus parked?"
45417Call Terry in, will you?
45417Can we come in out of the wet for a little while?"
45417Can you hear what they''re saying in the next room?"
45417Chapter VIII THE CHIMNEY Then on her right she heard a soft rustling, immediately followed by a low call:"Dorothy, where are you?"
45417Chapter XIV THE LION''S DEN"No answer at all?"
45417Could you slide down ours and untie that from the bushes, then shin up again?"
45417Did you leave your gun in the library, George?"
45417Do n''t you remember the movies last night?
45417Do you expect me to stick out here with the car and see that somebody does n''t steal the tires?"
45417Do you feel able to go on now?"
45417Do you know what happened to their car?"
45417Do you think I''m going to let you walk into that place alone?"
45417Do you want them out after us?
45417Ever been in the Reservation, Bill?"
45417Except--"here Dorothy looked stern,"I do n''t approve of your housekeeping methods-- I had to scour the frying pan twice, sir, do you realize that?"
45417Have you any suggestions to give us?"
45417Have you boys had supper?"
45417He was such a darling looking boy and--""My goodness-- what have his looks got to do with it?
45417Hear it just over there to the right?"
45417How about you, Uncle Abe?"
45417How are you making out?"
45417How can any of us learn anything unless you give Stoker a chance to get on with his story?"
45417How dat man goin''ter keep all dose young folks locked in his house while he try to sell dem plans?
45417How did you get here?"
45417How did you get it?"
45417How do you know Joyce''s men have n''t got them tied up in the house?"
45417How in the wide world did you ever get rouge on the end of your nose?
45417How is it done?"
45417How would you like to live in quarters over our garage and work for my father?
45417How''ll that be?"
45417I hope you do n''t mind my mentioning such a prosaic thing-- but do you happen to have anything to eat in the house?"
45417I thought dat de plans was lost?"
45417I''m soaked nearly to my waist-- how about you?"
45417If Mr. Conway still owned patent rights on his inventions, why were n''t they mentioned in the will?"
45417If there is one, how is it going to help us?"
45417If you know the way out, why do n''t you say so?"
45417Is dat what yo''all wanter know, ma''am?"
45417Is it far away?"
45417Is n''t it possible that Mr. Joyce may have acted as Mr. Conway''s agent-- sold the inventions for him, perhaps?
45417Is that clear to you, Betty?"
45417Is there much farther to go?"
45417Johnson?"
45417Joyce?"
45417Let''s see-- where was I?"
45417May I use your telephone?"
45417Now tell me-- are you going to pull yourself together and be of some help?
45417Park the car near the road, hike back through the woods and cut over toward the house from that side?"
45417Pass the word on to the rest of the boys about them dead beats that''s botherin''people on the Reservation, will you?"
45417People who live in glass houses, you know--?"
45417Pretty good guess, eh?"
45417Remember what I trotted into with Betty at Stoker''s house?"
45417Snap out of it, wo n''t you, Betty?"
45417So do n''t put him wise, will you?"
45417Talk of hunting needles in a--""But do we need it?"
45417That is, I s''pose they''re yours?"
45417That''s a bad eye you''ve got-- been in a fight?"
45417There''s another-- hear it?"
45417They said they''d come for the letter Father had left for me to read after his death--""And you did n''t give it to them?"
45417This young lady in overalls is Miss Dixon, I take it?"
45417Turn your mind upon the answer of that dear old song,''Where do we go from here?''"
45417Wat you want I should do, Miss Do''thy?"
45417We''ll talk it over at supper, shall we?"
45417Whar was dey?"
45417What are we going to do about it?"
45417What can we do but knock them up and ask for shelter?"
45417What could have happened to him?
45417What could his objective be?
45417What do you bet I spot the motive in this mysterious case of Stoker''s?"
45417What do you pretend you were doing, anyway?"
45417What do you say?"
45417What do you suppose they were after?"
45417What is it, Uncle?"
45417What on earth was he going to do now?
45417What river?
45417When I could n''t find the book for old Lewis, what do you think he said?"
45417When yo''alls done wid dem, p''raps yo''ll wake de young missy, an''carry de bucket in yonder?"
45417Where are they?"
45417Where are you, anyway?"
45417Where do you want me to start?"
45417Where''s your boy friend?"
45417Where?"
45417Who is dis hyar boy wid you, Uncle?"
45417Who yo''all a- lookin''fo''?"
45417Who''s going to do the hunting?"
45417Why did n''t we think of him before?"
45417Why did n''t you wake me up?"
45417Why did those men attack you and tie you up-- what were they doing around here?"
45417Why was Hilltop sold?"
45417Wonder what the J in John J. Joyce stands for?"
45417Wonder what''s become of Stoker and Betty?"
45417You came up this way, did n''t you?"
45417You can go into the dining room and set the table.--Bill, you''re a good cook-- how about starting the coffee?
45417You must be nearly dead--""Well, there have been times when I''ve felt more peppy--""How could you, Bill?
45417You or me?"
45417You want that shoe so as to prevent anyone else from finding it, the men who are chasing us, for instance?"
45417You''d never take her for the same person, would you?"
45417You-- killed them?
45417_ Where are your visitors?_"The old man spat with great precision on to a glowing cinder.
45417does n''t she?"
45417he thundered,"What do you mean by bandying words with me?"
45417so you put the spotlight on me, do you?"
43263A hand, an arm, a gun?
43263A-- a leaf?
43263All you want is your money? 43263 And are you equipped to handle that side of the case?"
43263And do you wish to be tried by this court?
43263And last night?
43263And still you came back?
43263And the bullet?
43263And the bullet?
43263And these birds took it?
43263And we''ll find the man, wo n''t we, Drew?
43263And what do you think? 43263 Another call?"
43263Are you a lawyer?
43263Bad for what?
43263Be in town that long, wo n''t you?
43263Bullets?
43263But do you know the exact way to this farm?
43263But how must the detective feel who has dealings with such a man? 43263 But is n''t a police officer''s life always in danger?"
43263But the bullets?
43263But the burglars?
43263But what about the squad call that was going through when the raid on the radio station was made?
43263But what''s on the platter?
43263But where did the boys come from?
43263But where is the society that cares for the women and children made widows and orphans by the bullets of gangsters, burglars, and robbers? 43263 But who could do less than try?"
43263But why do they do it?
43263But why the grin at all?
43263But why? 43263 Ca n''t you see?
43263Call picking pockets going straight?
43263Can you prove that he meant to shoot you?
43263Can you?
43263Did they get them? 43263 Did you hear him?
43263Do n''t mind coming along, do you? 43263 Do you think those pickpockets had their gang walk in on this boy and beat him up?"
43263Do you think you can make anything of just a shell?
43263Drew,said Johnny, almost solemnly,"did you ever hear of Newton Mills?"
43263Drew? 43263 Dumplings in meat gravy?"
43263Equipped?
43263Ever box?
43263Find anything?
43263First thing we''ve got to do to- morrow,said Drew,"is to work out the probabilities?"
43263For,he was accustomed to say to his friends,"who will know what I hold in that hand?
43263Forensic ballistics,he said musingly as he sipped hot coffee,"sounds rather impossible, does n''t it?
43263Freight? 43263 Go answer it, will you?"
43263Going over town? 43263 Gone?"
43263Got good jobs?
43263Had anything to eat?
43263Has he told you how it all came about?
43263Have a good rest?
43263Have n''t you heard?
43263Have these men a record?
43263Have they found the bullet?
43263Have they saved the bullet?
43263He did? 43263 He''s a pal of yours?"
43263He-- he never told us--"That he had a daughter? 43263 He?
43263Hey? 43263 How about it?"
43263How about the bullets?
43263How does it come you were not arrested with this pal of yours?
43263How''d you like to meet me at the club this evening for a few rounds?
43263I wonder if that''s the price? 43263 In those other cases of that night, the safe- blowing and theatre robbery, was there any unnecessary shooting?"
43263In what way do they differ?
43263Is it hard to become a city detective?
43263Is that true?
43263It may save this man Mills for a great service,he told himself,"and who knows better than he how to bring these inhuman ones to justice?"
43263Just what you been doing with this thing?
43263Know how most of''em go? 43263 Know what''s in this jug?"
43263Know what?
43263Know what?
43263Like a little music?
43263Mind if I sit down awhile? 43263 Newton Mills, the great city detective?
43263Newton Mills?
43263Nothing, is it? 43263 Now can I go?"
43263Probably I did; otherwise why did he drop the gun?
43263Remember me, do n''t you? 43263 Shall you go with us?
43263Sit down, wo n''t you?
43263Slugs?
43263So that''s a leaf?
43263So that''s the way they do it?
43263So you know I rode the back of the gangster''s car all the way out?
43263Someone has told you?
43263Tell me?
43263That yours?
43263That''s the way it goes, is it?
43263The man with the hole in his hand shot Rosy''s father? 43263 The probabilities?"
43263They are?
43263They did n''t tell you, did they?
43263They nearly killed you, did n''t they?
43263Think I''d stay away?
43263Think they''ll ever use airplanes in hunting criminals?
43263Think you''re a smart bunch, do n''t ya''?
43263To what purpose?
43263Train?
43263We will get the reward, wo n''t we? 43263 Well,"chuckled Drew,"you got one, did n''t you?"
43263Well,said the judge,"you all working?"
43263Wha-- what is it?
43263Wha-- what was that?
43263Wha-- where am I?
43263What are you doing here?
43263What bullet?
43263What bullets?
43263What can one learn from a spent bullet?
43263What could be sweeter? 43263 What could be sweeter?"
43263What could have happened?
43263What did you do?
43263What did you do?
43263What did you kill?
43263What do you mean, the type?
43263What do you say? 43263 What do you think, Drew?"
43263What guns?
43263What have you done with them? 43263 What have you got to say?"
43263What is your name?
43263What of it?
43263What was that?
43263What was this bird doing when you shot him with that arrow?
43263What will you do with the cottage now?
43263What would you have done?
43263What you running about?
43263What''s all that?
43263What''s that?
43263What''s this man''s name?
43263What''s wrong?
43263What''s your name?
43263When is a man an empty shell? 43263 Where are them slugs?"
43263Where did you get that gun?
43263Where is he?
43263Where is he?
43263Where''d you come from?
43263Where''s the light switch?
43263Where?
43263Where?
43263Where?
43263Who made you a call? 43263 Who shot?"
43263Who was running this game?
43263Who''s gone?
43263Who?
43263Who?
43263Why?
43263Wonder why that man beat me up there in the studio? 43263 Wonder why they live here?
43263Yeah? 43263 You all got real good jobs?"
43263You are Newton Mills?
43263You drink with him sometimes?
43263You have heard of him?
43263You here?
43263You know that long row of warehouses just back of your shack, Drew?
43263You stole a hundred dollars from an innocent boy as a joke on a boy detective? 43263 You took a little drink yesterday?"
43263You want some coffee? 43263 You wo n''t fail us?"
43263You-- you do n''t know those other young fellows?
43263Your father? 43263 A quiet night? 43263 A whole leaf?
43263AND WHY?
43263Afraid?
43263And besides, if they did, who would they get to go for''em?
43263And now, who knows?
43263And why, I wonder?
43263And you''ll stick?"
43263And you?
43263Anything else?"
43263Are we warned or threatened?
43263But after all, the question is, where do the radio station wreckers belong?"
43263But after that?
43263But had he seen her?
43263But how about the others?"
43263But how was this to be effected?
43263But how?
43263But if we needed you to appear before a jury as a witness in this case four months from now, would you be in Chicago?"
43263But must a high class robber believe all that he hears on the street?
43263But then, who can describe ravioli a la Tuscany?
43263But was this a true derelict?
43263But we''ll find out, wo n''t we, Drew?"
43263But were these truly ready to stand back of law and justice?
43263But what of this strange, prematurely gray man?
43263But what was this?
43263But what was this?
43263But where you going?"
43263But who knows?
43263But why did he pick me up?
43263But would not this hasten his own death?
43263CHAPTER VI WHO?
43263Ca n''t do much with it, can you?
43263Ca n''t you see how they''ll shape it up?"
43263Could such a sight fail to bring to the lips an awe- inspired cry?
43263Did a member of the gang try to do away with you so you could not testify?
43263Did he prefer it so?
43263Did his truck carry flour, melons, green corn, or moonshine?
43263Did it have a basement?
43263Did the new bus boy take cognizance of it on that first night of service?
43263Did they still wish to plead guilty?
43263Did they stop?
43263Did you drop them in the car?
43263Did you not know that?
43263Displaying two of these on the palm of his hand, he asked:"Are they alike?"
43263Do I have your permission?"
43263Do n''t mind a little music to lull you to the land of dreams?"
43263Do they belong to a well organized gang?
43263Do you always travel that way?"
43263Do you hear me?
43263Do you understand?"
43263Does our friend Hole- in- His- Hand belong to the holdup gang, or the fur store robbers?"
43263Does this seem strange?
43263Drew stepped up to Jimmy and patted him on the back, exclaiming:"How are you, son?"
43263For how is one to enjoy culture unless he has a lady on his arm?
43263For who can tell at what hour mail is collected from street boxes at night?
43263Fresh adventure?
43263Funny, ai n''t it?
43263Guilty, or not guilty?
43263Guilty, or not guilty?"
43263Had she gone to her cousin''s in Naperville?
43263Him?
43263How about him?
43263How did you expect to get his money back to him?
43263How did you mean to explain his loss to him?"
43263How had the Ramacciottis come into possession of this card?
43263How much more the wreck of a great man?
43263How was his man, his derelict?
43263How''d a leaf look to you?
43263How''d you look stripped?
43263How''ll I do it?''"
43263How?
43263Huh?
43263I--""Would you know the barn if you saw it?"
43263I--"But what was this?
43263If he pried one of them open could he escape?
43263If she failed again could she make her way back to the ladder?
43263If so, which one was connected with the attack upon you?
43263If that was the angle, was more than one major crime committed in that half hour?
43263If with the law breaker, was he interested in some dark doings of this night?
43263In the meantime, what of Johnny?
43263Is great happiness always followed by a touch of sadness?
43263Is it important?
43263Know how it works, do n''t you?"
43263Know what?
43263Knowing this, do you still wish to plead guilty?"
43263Leap forward?
43263Let him go, ca n''t you, Judge?"
43263Let him go, will you, Judge?"
43263May I ask you to assist us in this case?"
43263Mind company?"
43263Mystery?
43263Never heard of one, did you?
43263Now he was gliding slowly, surely forward-- to what?
43263Once more Drew demanded,"What was that?"
43263Or are you going?"
43263Or did he think?
43263Or is it collected at all between midnight and 6:00 A.M.?
43263Question is, what were the rascals about?
43263Ramacciotti?"
43263Regret it?"
43263Romance?
43263Same man?
43263See?
43263She had just reached the second shadow when she heard a gruff voice say:"What you shoot at?"
43263Should he shout a warning?
43263That right?"
43263That right?"
43263Them bullets?"
43263There were three cases that night, were n''t there?"
43263This, one would say, was an improvement, for who wishes to be seen grinning and gesturing at a telephone, as one is forever doing?
43263Upon what was this hatred based?
43263Very simple, is n''t it?
43263Was a big burglary in progress?
43263Was a shadow of the future stretching out to engulf her?
43263Was he listening for the call that would tell of the discovery of his band?
43263Was he recounting to them in detail the history of that mysterious arrow?
43263Was he right?
43263Was he to be expected to accompany the man to his home and see for himself that the truth was being told?
43263Was it important?
43263Was it impossible?
43263Was it some pal of these pickpockets?
43263Was she trying to help?
43263Was there, from time to time, about the corners of the slim bus boy''s lips on that night the suggestion of a smile?
43263Was this man sent up to silence the radio and prevent the squad call?
43263We--""You knew them?"
43263Were n''t wearing your star?"
43263Were not Johnny and Drew her friends?
43263What are you?"
43263What could be more natural?
43263What could have happened to it?"
43263What damage had it done?
43263What did it mean?
43263What do n''t they steal?
43263What do you say, Mills?"
43263What had he accomplished?
43263What is more wonderful than being sixteen?
43263What kind of work?
43263What luck this afternoon?"
43263What occupied his thoughts during these long hours?
43263What of Johnny''s arrow?
43263What one of them will face a hand in a coat pocket?"
43263What saved Johnny?
43263What should he do?
43263What should he say?
43263What thoughts filled his mind at this hour?
43263What was a"leaf?"
43263What was it?
43263What was that call?
43263What was to be done?
43263What was to come next?
43263What you think?
43263What''s the use?
43263What''s this?
43263When he suggested this to her he was astonished by the snapping of her black eyes as she exclaimed:"Me afraid?
43263When is he a hopeless derelict?"
43263Where are they?"
43263Where is he?"
43263Where is my father?"
43263Where lay his sympathies?
43263Where was the hand, the gun, the man?
43263Where was the intruder?
43263Where were they to be found?
43263Who can say what relief one may find, from surroundings that are terrible, by contemplating that which is beautiful, though very far away?
43263Who can say which one longed most for that land, mother or daughter?
43263Who can say?
43263Who can say?
43263Who can tell?"
43263Who could have told?
43263Who could say?
43263Who had beaten him up the night before?
43263Who had reported them?
43263Who has n''t?"
43263Who is to stand up against such an invisible force?"
43263Who knows?
43263Who knows?
43263Who knows?
43263Who knows?
43263Who was Rosy?
43263Who was this whirlwind?
43263Who were the culprits?
43263Who would n''t be?
43263Who would?
43263Who''s here?"
43263Who?
43263Whom did he have locked up?
43263Why did Drew room in this odd place?
43263Why did she live in that other shack among the walls of brick and mortar?
43263Why did this young man listen so intently?
43263Why did you do it?"
43263Why do n''t you?"
43263Why not a thousand like him, fresh from college, full of ideals, ready for fight?
43263Why not that?"
43263Why not?
43263Why not?
43263Why not?
43263Why not?
43263Why?
43263Why?
43263Will I be like that in twenty years?"
43263Will she recall the face?
43263Will they get the bullets?
43263Will you?"
43263With the police, or with the law breaker?
43263Wo n''t we, Howe?"
43263Wonder why he carries a gun?
43263Would anything worth while come of this affair?
43263Would he be able to tell from the expressions on their faces when they saw him?
43263Would the gangsters hear?
43263Would they come to search for her?
43263Would they find her?
43263Yes?"
43263You heard Mills say there were no stool pigeons used in that kidnapping case we solved?"
43263You know him?"
43263You say this young man has told the truth?
43263You were getting off the car, were n''t you?"
43263You''re not afraid to fly?"
43263You''ve read detective stories?"
43263and Why?
45174A Hun, eh?
45174Ah-- incidentally-- saving my life, and making the capture of this gang possible?
45174All set?
45174All set?
45174An airplane-- one that can land either on water or on land?
45174And get another piece bit out of me arm?
45174And how, may I ask, do you figure that?
45174And not another peep out of you-- understand?
45174And the result in both cases is a crash?
45174And then?
45174And what has been done toward catching the thieves-- or thief?
45174And who would there be out in the wilds to admire that smart frock you''re wearing, for instance?
45174And why should Mr. Harry Perkins be so entrusted?
45174And why, in your opinion, are we making a mistake in putting you and Miss Dixon out of the running?
45174And you must taxi either before the wind, or into the wind as we are now, in seas like these?
45174And you''ve been back since the robbery, I think you said?
45174Another Packard, was it?
45174Any idea where we are?
45174Any new clues lately?
45174Are n''t you the cheeky kid, using that thing in front of me?
45174Asleep?
45174Behave, will yer? 45174 But I do need a leather coat, do n''t I?"
45174But here-- see these footprints? 45174 But if this is an airplane, why keep bouncing along on the water?
45174But was he tall or short?
45174But was n''t it awful in this wind?
45174But what could I do? 45174 But what does that mean?"
45174But where?
45174But why make the biggest mistake-- of murdering us?
45174But why not? 45174 But, Bill-- did you ever see a lame man-- whose left leg was shorter than his right?"
45174But-- why do you wear that curly mustache?
45174D''you mind saying why you were foolish enough to drop in on Perkins and put us up a tree this way?
45174D''you want us to wait here?
45174Did he say anything else?
45174Did n''t you tell me the cockpits of your N-9 were open-- that they did n''t have windshields?
45174Did the gang get away with much?
45174Did the girl and the other man wear gloves?
45174Did you investigate?
45174Did you notice if he limped?
45174Did you see anyone besides the girl with the red hair?
45174Did you talk to her?
45174Do n''t tell me the knife was poisoned?
45174Do you know anything about motors?
45174Do you mean that?
45174Do you play the violin, sir?
45174Do you think I''ll ever learn?
45174Do you think it an improvement over nature?
45174Do you think she will run fifty miles?
45174Do you think they''ll put up much of a fight?
45174Do you think you can take time enough from your life work?
45174Does that bother you?
45174Earrings?
45174Feelin''kind of woozy?
45174Forgot what I said about checking a skid just now, did n''t you?
45174Getting interested, eh?
45174Got a crush on the girl?
45174Got a gun?
45174Got my gun?
45174Has she gone nuts?
45174Have I said they did n''t? 45174 Have you washed it yet?"
45174Have you-- ever?
45174He is in a position to do the bank considerable harm-- By the way, Dorothy, are you as efficient at manicuring as you are at making up your mouth?
45174Hi, yourself,--what d''you want?
45174How about it, Bolton?
45174How about the rest of the gang?
45174How about unlocking these handcuffs, Doctor?
45174How are we goin''to make our getaway tonight with them two lads down and out upstairs?
45174How come?
45174How did you happen in here tonight?
45174How do yer get that way?
45174How far are we from the house?
45174How is our invalid, nurse?
45174How long do you suppose that will be?
45174How long will it take to teach me to fly, Bill?
45174How so?
45174How''d you guess it?
45174How''s it going?
45174How''s that?
45174How''s that?
45174I s''pose you thought you''d save_ his_ skin, at least?
45174I think so-- but how does one know when to do it?
45174I wonder how birds learn to fly?
45174I wonder how he got word to the house so quickly?
45174I wonder if they have n''t found we''re not in the wine cellar-- if they''ve charged Mike Conway with our escape?
45174I wonder what her mother would say to that? 45174 I''d rather not, if you do n''t mind?"
45174If this is n''t a rumrunner, why do you carry that machine gun and the rifles and revolvers in the armsrack?
45174In other words, she did n''t seem especially glad to see you?
45174In other words, you think we have a fifty- fifty chance with the police?
45174In what way?
45174Interesting-- but why are we heading this way?
45174Is he hurt?
45174Is n''t my car good enough for you?
45174Is n''t that called banking?
45174Is that a serious trouble?
45174Is that all?
45174Is that so?
45174Is_ that_ all?
45174Jealous, Sadie?
45174Johnny, have you the key?
45174Just like an automobile skids?
45174Keep still?
45174Kind of medium- like--"Dark hair or light?
45174Know this hold?
45174Let him bump off the pair over there-- then take him for a ride?
45174Let''s go to the movies this evening?
45174Looks like my handwriting,sighed Mr. Dixon when he had finished,"but of course I did n''t write it!--What happened after that?"
45174Miss Dixon, is n''t it?
45174More cheek?
45174More unpleasantness for you, Daddy?
45174Much better, is n''t it?
45174My face itches terribly from all that dust and I--"Well, what do yer think I am? 45174 No worse than learning to fly, is it?"
45174Nonsense?
45174Now, Lizzie, what happened next?
45174Now, Thompson, do you think you can tell us exactly what happened, before Doctor Brown drives you home?
45174Of course she had red hair and wore yellow beach pajamas?
45174Oh, really? 45174 Oh, you do know him?"
45174Oh-- you''re steering with your feet?
45174Perhaps he came down a side road?
45174Perhaps not-- but what''s the difference?
45174Rather like locking up the barn after the sheep vamoosed, is n''t it?
45174Really? 45174 Rumrunner?
45174Simply because we saw the lame man take the Ridgefield road?
45174So you think she should keep on with her flight training?
45174Sorry we had to''bag''you, as it were-- hope you suffered no great inconvenience?
45174Staten Island Sadie?
45174Steinburg Hammerfeld-- isn''t that a hot one?
45174Sure-- what did yer think I was-- a gigolo?
45174Tastes good, eh?
45174Tell me what happened in the woods after I got scragged and Mike carted me up here?
45174Tell me-- is Bill Bolton very badly hurt?
45174Then how in thunder did they cop the license plates without your seeing them?
45174Then what makes you think you''ll corner the gang at the house now?
45174Then what_ are_ we going to do?
45174Then why do you tie the leg- strap around your waist?
45174Then you landed into the wind when you came down for me?
45174There was only one man in the car-- the chauffeur?
45174They are?
45174They do?
45174They ought to help just a little, do n''t you think?
45174Think you can turn this with your teeth, Mr. Scotland Yard?
45174Those who live by the sword-- but you are familiar with the quotation, I''m sure?
45174Tired?
45174Up at New Canaan?
45174Want the job yourself?
45174Want to tell me? 45174 Was it_ my_ fault that that fellow over there landed his plane on the lake?
45174Was n''t that to be expected after what the cop told us in the bank?
45174Well, she must be!--Are you trying to kid me?
45174Well, what is it then?
45174Well, why do n''t you let me help you? 45174 Well--"Dorothy eyed him uncompromisingly--"why are you afraid of me, then?"
45174Were you able to get Dad?
45174What are you going to do?
45174What can he have up his sleeve?
45174What car was that?
45174What did the man look like, Lizzie?
45174What did you do?
45174What did you tell him?
45174What do you mean? 45174 What do you suppose that lame man was doing on Marvin Ridge?"
45174What ever_ is_ the matter with you?
45174What for?
45174What happened when you brought back the bicarb, Lizzie?
45174What if they have sentries posted?
45174What is it, Bill?
45174What is it?
45174What news?
45174What of it? 45174 What on earth is that?"
45174What time was that?
45174What yer want it for? 45174 What''s a shame?"
45174What''s happened?
45174What''s the big idea?
45174What''s the idea?
45174What''s the matter with you, Johnny? 45174 What''s the matter with you, Mike?"
45174What''s the matter?
45174What''s the use of all this?
45174What''s up?
45174What_ is_ the big idea?
45174Where are we going? 45174 Where are your eyes, girl?"
45174Where do they keep the wheelbarrer in this godforsakin''dump?
45174Where do you get your appalling strength?
45174Who are you, anyway?
45174Who taught you jiu jitsu?
45174Who then, may I ask?
45174Who''s Bill? 45174 Who''s Mike?"
45174Who''s Sadie? 45174 Who''s going to stand guard while the plane goes for the police?"
45174Why did n''t you nab him while you had the chance? 45174 Why do you do it?"
45174Why do you do that? 45174 Why do you talk such nonsense?"
45174Why do you think the gang are there now?
45174Why is it,she inquired presently,"that the plane rides so much smoother when you''re guiding her?"
45174Why not?
45174Why should I?
45174Why use a lipstick then?
45174Why, what do you mean?
45174Why? 45174 Why?"
45174Will you really let me, Dad?
45174Wo n''t it be cold?
45174Yes, that''s the number-- but-- well... did you notice it further?
45174Yes-- but what of it?
45174You brought Thompson to and cut his bonds-- then what?
45174You do?
45174You heard what our friend said about_ his_ friend-- who understands all about engines? 45174 You keep me tied up, do n''t you?
45174You mean you phoned the beach club about me?
45174You really do n''t mind, Daddy?
45174You really want to learn?
45174You want to work up the case yourself?
45174You wanta breeze-- get outa here, do n''t yer?
45174You''re sure?
45174Young, was she?
45174_ Afraid?_ You little whippet!
45174_ Cigarettes?_"Yes. 45174 _ What?_"shrieked Dorothy.
45174--What next?"
45174A lady''s maid?"
45174After all, was not this the real Bill Bolton the famous ace and midshipman she had read about?
45174All right?"
45174And it''s stayed that way ever since, has n''t it?
45174And what then?"
45174Anybody caught?
45174Anybody hurt?
45174Anyone else know anything about this robbery?"
45174But how about the time lock?"
45174But if we are leaving all the fun to the police, why did you bring the guns?"
45174But that does n''t solve the mystery, does it?"
45174But the point is-- were they taken this afternoon while Daddy had the car parked behind the bank-- or later this evening after he drove home?
45174But the shot and the scream immediately afterward?
45174But was she?
45174But what am I to learn in?
45174But what are we going to do for a plane?"
45174But what do you make of these tracks here?
45174But what has_ that_ got to do with Dorothy''s flying?"
45174But what right had he to talk like that?
45174Ca n''t I go up now?"
45174Conway?"
45174Could it be that Bill was n''t sure of his quarry?
45174Could n''t you break away then?"
45174Did I make you cry?"
45174Dixon?"
45174Dixon?"
45174Dixon?"
45174Do I get a lesson tomorrow?"
45174Do n''t imagine those police are efficient, do you?
45174Do n''t you realize that these two know too much about us to permit them to live?"
45174Do n''t you think it''s mean of them to make such a mystery of whatever they''re talking about, Mr. Bolton?
45174Do n''t you think you''d better come down to the bank and tell the story of your sleuthing to the Bankers''Association detectives?
45174Do you hear me?
45174Do you think Daddy will let me?"
45174Do you wish to vote on it again?"
45174Doc?"
45174Does that suit your highness?"
45174Dorothy''s tone was stern,"What have they done with Bill?"
45174Excitement kind of stirs you up eh?"
45174From this door to the car?"
45174Get the idea?"
45174Give me a boost, will you?"
45174Got all that?"
45174Got plenty of gas?"
45174Got that dope down pat?"
45174Got that?"
45174Had that been the sound of his automatic-- or another''s?
45174He guffawed--"I guess you know that trick-- the bulls have made it pretty popular?"
45174He hesitated a moment, then--"I know it''s none of my affair, but do n''t you think it''s rather risky to go for a sail just now?"
45174He passed over a letter--""Have you still got it?"
45174He said he''d let him look over the carburetor when he got home, did n''t he?
45174He''ll come round after while-- but when?"
45174How about getting a plane of your own to fool with from now on?"
45174How about going in now and telling your father what we''ve learned?"
45174How about it?
45174How about it?"
45174How about the time, Dad?"
45174How about the tire tracks?"
45174How are you-- stiff?"
45174How are your legs?"
45174How should I know?
45174How''s the car running?"
45174How_ did_ you keep from slewing broadside and going under?"
45174I got the impression that you and the young lady who is at present drinking coffee might have had-- a difference of opinion, shall we say?"
45174I knew we had some in the medicine chest upstairs, so--""So you went back to the house and got it?"
45174If you''ll help me?"
45174Just holes in the mud with a flat dab right ahead?"
45174Just what has been taken?"
45174Know how to use it?"
45174May Doctor Watson inquire on what Miss Sherlock Holmes bases her astounding deduction?"
45174Not such a bad hunch to take a look out here, was it?"
45174Now then, you gave the other one the garage key, I s''pose?"
45174Now, I''m going to pull my feet from under yours-- ready?"
45174Now, concerning our two young friends who were so unwise as to join us tonight-- what is your pleasure?"
45174Of course, if Miss Martinelli has her way-- but why anticipate the unpleasant?"
45174Oh, Bill, you''re generally so fertile with ideas--_can''t_ you think of any thing?"
45174Recognize the scenery?"
45174Say, Bill, that was only a bluff, was n''t it?"
45174See how the nose of the plane rises and falls in response?
45174Shall we go up in the_ Loening_ again?"
45174Sling me a hunk o''bread, will yer?
45174Sounds rather silly at a time like this, do n''t you think so?"
45174Still sleuthing, I take it?"
45174Sure you have n''t lost him?"
45174Tell me-- why are_ you_ piloting a rumrunner?"
45174That is your reason for not voting with the rest of us?"
45174That road runs down to Noroton, does n''t it?
45174That''s what you were going to say, is n''t it?"
45174The Hamberfields, of Canoe Hill?"
45174The plane must be banked with ailerons before the rudder will have any turning effect.--Get me?"
45174Then I landed--""Into the wind or with it?"
45174Then musingly,"So you''re a wrestler, eh?"
45174Then you''ll come tonight?"
45174There-- is that better?"
45174Understand?"
45174Want to come along?"
45174Want to look it over?"
45174Was Bill one of them?
45174Was the lame man sitting beside her?"
45174We are about to celebrate this festive occasion by a housewarming, in the form of a scrap dinner at the hero''s home-- what say you?"
45174What are yer givin''us?"
45174What did it matter if the gang made their escape?
45174What do ye think this is, anyway-- a joy ride?"
45174What do you expect me to do-- release the safety catch and pull the trigger to see if it works?"
45174What do you mean?"
45174What do you think his name really is?"
45174What do you want to know?"
45174What happened then?"
45174What of it?
45174What was the use of that?
45174What would the gang say if she bested him, a professional wrestler, and make her getaway?
45174What''s actually happened?
45174What''s the trouble?"
45174What''s to become of Mr. Conway, in the meantime?
45174When I do n''t understand, I''ll ask-- if it''s all the same to you?"
45174Where are your eyes, Bill?
45174Where do we go from here?"
45174Where would I be if it were n''t for him?
45174Where''s that lamp?
45174Whose gun_ was_ that?"
45174Why am I sure of it?
45174Why did he continue to go on with his pretended inspection of the engine?
45174Why did n''t Bill capture the man at once so they could haul him off to the police station?
45174Why do you stand for it?"
45174Why is it better for her to start now, rather than later?"
45174Why?
45174Why?
45174Why?"
45174Wo n''t that raise the tail of the plane and depress the nose?"
45174Wo n''t you tell me?"
45174Would the throbbing engine continue to function under the unaccustomed strain?
45174Would they make it?
45174Would they mire in the soft ground at the lake''s edge she wondered, and cause the big bus to nose over and crash?
45174Y''do n''t happen ter want a couple of ice cubes and a stick in it too?"
45174Yer boy friend?"
45174You do n''t think I''ve any intention of trying to capture them?"
45174You have n''t had your second cup of coffee, have you?"
45174You know what happened to Tony--""Yes, but the shot right afterward?
45174You''re starting out for a sail in that sloop that''s moored over there, I take it?"
45174You''ve got me now, have n''t yer?
45174Your steady?"
45174_ Chapter IV_ THE FIRST HOP"How about giving me my first flying lesson now?"
45174_ Chapter XI_ FOLLOW THE LEADER"Need any help?"
45174_ Why_ had n''t she taken more precise directions before tramping over here?
45174he exclaimed,"what are you two doing here?"
45174student-- Listen to your master''s-- I mean,--your instructor''s voice, will you?"
34591A feeling of impending trouble?
34591A friend of yours?
34591A little spit- fire, are n''t you?
34591A scoop for the_ Star_?
34591A sign of what?
34591A silk ladder?
34591Agent?
34591Alone?
34591And Al Gepper?
34591And from there?
34591And how was the paint made to appear wet?
34591And stay here with us?
34591And what business is it of yours?
34591And what did they find? 34591 And what is that?"
34591And what was the man''s name?
34591And who are you to speak for her?
34591And you did n''t?
34591Any news in the old scandal sheet?
34591Any news?
34591Any other theories?
34591Anything I can do for you?
34591Are n''t you afraid a monkey may jump out of that cabinet?
34591Are those idle words, Dad? 34591 Are we putting out an extra?"
34591Are you an agent?
34591Are you hurt?
34591Are you sure this is the place?
34591Are you there, David?
34591At this time of night?
34591Before we leave, shall we take a look at the alley?
34591But how can I be certain that the message came from Cousin David?
34591But how did he descend so quickly? 34591 But how did he escape so quickly?"
34591But how did you know--?
34591But if that is so, why do n''t police close up the place?
34591But what can it be?
34591But why was Mrs. Weems advised to invest her money with one of them? 34591 But will it run?"
34591But_ what_ is it?
34591By the way, whatever became of Lena?
34591By the way, you have your car downstairs?
34591Ca n''t it be obtained?
34591Ca n''t we contact him again?
34591Can you blame him? 34591 Can you get me down from this pigeon roost?"
34591Could he be arrested without involving the Hodges?
34591Could he have used sharp, steel pins held between his fingers?
34591Could it have been a tree bough brushing against the wall?
34591Could n''t he have recognized them?
34591Could n''t you call up another Spirit by using my pin or Pa''s watch?
34591Dad, do you mind steering Lena?
34591Dad, even if the police do give up, we wo n''t, will we?
34591Dad,Penny said thoughtfully,"you do n''t suppose there''s any chance it was n''t trickery?"
34591David, have you a message for us?
34591Detective?
34591Did n''t you push the ouija board?
34591Did the man ask you many questions about your cousin?
34591Did the picture closely resemble your cousin?
34591Did you learn anything?
34591Do I?
34591Do n''t you agree with Dad and me that he was after your money?
34591Do n''t you agree, Penny?
34591Do you consider it safe to keep such a large sum?
34591Do you know what this means, Penny?
34591Do you realize it''s nearly four o''clock? 34591 Do you sell it for a special purpose?"
34591Do you suppose Jenny could be right?
34591Does he have one?
34591Does n''t Mr. Kohl live on this street?
34591Does n''t this cabinet indicate it?
34591Does the time and date have special significance?
34591Figurin''on blowing?
34591Flora, where are you? 34591 For instance?"
34591Gepper does n''t know she inherited six thousand dollars?
34591Gettin''sort of jittery, ai n''t you?
34591Going to a fire?
34591Goodness, what time is it anyway?
34591Gray?
34591Guess what? 34591 Have I made another error in spelling?"
34591Have n''t I seen you somewhere before?
34591Have n''t you an assignment for me, Dad?
34591Have n''t you called the police?
34591Have you a message for me?
34591Have you a message for us?
34591Have you lost your mind?
34591He''ll renew the old contract?
34591Hello, Miss Hilderman?
34591His apparatus?
34591Housecleaning?
34591How about Al Gepper?
34591How about Kano''s Curio Shop?
34591How about a little adventure?
34591How about assigning me to it after I get this society job in hand?
34591How about my pictures?
34591How can Mrs. Weems''inheritance have anything to do with a psychic sign?
34591How can it be illegal to rent Mr. Gepper these rooms?
34591How can you accuse him of being a fraud after you saw his marvelous demonstration? 34591 How can you be taken in by his smooth line?
34591How could I know that her father was a newspaper publisher? 34591 How could he have faked Cousin David''s message?
34591How could it have been? 34591 How could you have seen him, Penny?
34591How do you like that, Dad?
34591How do you like your new job?
34591How do you suppose they made things jump around as if they were alive?
34591How high would you estimate the loss?
34591How many persons knew where you had secreted the money?
34591How much can you raise?
34591How much does the telegram say, Dad?
34591How will I get Lena home? 34591 How will I pay?"
34591I mean about Cousin David and the inheritance?
34591I met one ghost- maker-- Osandra-- remember him?
34591I should advise returning it to the bank, or better still, why not invest it in sound securities?
34591I suppose you foresaw the future when you made your brilliant purchase?
34591I wonder how?
34591I wonder if he ever has charged for his sà © ances?
34591I wonder if it might not be a good idea to break the news by easy stages? 34591 If I am not mistaken, Madam, you wrote,''Is the spirit of my cousin in this room?''"
34591Is Dad having a conference?
34591Is Mr. Henley here?
34591Is anything the matter, Dad?
34591Is he with you, Miss Parker?
34591Is it Penelope?
34591Is it possible to see him?
34591Is my stuff that bad?
34591Is n''t that illegal?
34591Is n''t that rather odd?
34591Is there nothing which will move you to generosity?
34591It''s merely a short- cut to another street, is n''t it? 34591 It''s modern magic, is n''t it, Dad?"
34591Learn anything?
34591Lou, did you notice how funny he acted when we came in here?
34591Lou, what purpose do you suppose silk ladders serve? 34591 Lou, why did you discourage her?"
34591Lou,she asked abruptly,"do you mind going home alone?"
34591May I ask how much I owe the garageman?
34591May I ask if that same method was used in regard to Mrs. Weem''s picture of Cousin David?
34591May I ask what use is made of this silk rope?
34591May I have Al Gepper for my particular fish bait?
34591May I speak with you?
34591May we use your telephone if you have one?
34591Meaning--?
34591More to go?
34591Mr. Gepper, do you truly believe it is possible to communicate with the spiritual world?
34591Mr. Kohl-- the banker?
34591Mr. and Mrs. Kohl are n''t home yet?
34591Mrs. Hodges, to what purpose does your young man expect to put this studio?
34591Mrs. Weems, are you willing to help get evidence against him?
34591Mrs. Weems, do n''t you think it''s risky keeping so much money here?
34591Mrs. Weems,she cried,"did you ever get it back?
34591No ladder?
34591No message from Cousin David?
34591No?
34591Now I wonder who called? 34591 Now do you doubt me?"
34591Now how_ did_ he do it?
34591Now if you are quite satisfied, shall we begin?
34591Now that we have three cars, and a double garage, where do you propose to keep Lena?
34591Now what have you thought up?
34591Now what?
34591Now where did he go?
34591Now why did he climb up there?
34591Now, how should I know? 34591 Oh, Penny, why did you do it?"
34591Oh, dear, now what shall I do?
34591Oh, have you taken one?
34591Oh, what does he say?
34591Oh, you have?
34591Or Mrs. Henley? 34591 Or would you rather keep the car as a deposit?"
34591Others will be assigned to the case?
34591Otherwise, why does n''t she answer?
34591Penny, how could you torture me by letting me think the money was stolen?
34591Penny, what will your father say when he learns of this?
34591Penny, what''s this all about?
34591Penny, you actually saw all this?
34591Please, Dad, may I?
34591Proof?
34591Rather high- handed were n''t you?
34591Say, have you gone loco?
34591Say, what''s coming off here?
34591Shall I take off the brakes?
34591Shall we get to bed now? 34591 Shall we go, Mrs. Weems?
34591Slippery was n''t here?
34591So you would like to know what became of your friend, Slippery?
34591So you''re holding me up?
34591Someone calling for help?
34591Squander it?
34591Surely you do n''t agree with Penny?
34591Surely you do n''t believe in ghosts...?
34591Telegram? 34591 The house has n''t been robbed?"
34591The man for whom you made the ladder?
34591The raid was a failure?
34591The robbery occurred while you were away?
34591The_ Star''s_ Sugar Daddy?
34591Then my guess was right?
34591Then why did he slip down the alley?
34591Then why do n''t they, Penny?
34591Then you know about the place?
34591Then you think he may be connected with the Temple, Penny?
34591This do- dad is supposed to spell out messages, ai n''t it?
34591This is where Mrs. Weems resides, I believe?
34591Trouble with the old allowance again?
34591Was he the one?
34591Well, sister, what''s on your mind?
34591Well, sister?
34591Were his hands held high above it, Penny?
34591Were n''t you here on guard all evening?
34591Were you convinced, or do you still think that you can show up Al Gepper?
34591What are the meetings like, Jerry?
34591What are you doing in this part of town?
34591What can I do, Dad?
34591What can any of us know of the spirit world?
34591What could you do with this old car when you already have a new one?
34591What day was that?
34591What did the letter say?
34591What do you know about this burglary? 34591 What do you think about him now?"
34591What does it suggest to you?
34591What else has happened of a supernatural nature?
34591What happened at the sà © ance?
34591What has the letter to do with it?

34591When did it happen? 34591 When did it happen?"
34591When did it happen?
34591When will she be home?
34591Where are we going?
34591Where are you taking me?
34591Where did you get that ladder?
34591Where did you hide it, Penny? 34591 Where do we start?"
34591Where is he going?
34591Where will you wear it?
34591Where''s Pete?
34591Where?
34591Who''s there?
34591Who?
34591Why are spirits so timid?
34591Why did n''t you summon the janitor?
34591Why do n''t the police arrest him?
34591Why do n''t you start a campaign, Dad?
34591Why do n''t you try to reach her again?
34591Why do n''t you write an editorial about it?
34591Why do you act so outrageously?
34591Why do you think so, Penny?
34591Why do you think so?
34591Why does n''t the_ Star_ run an exposà © story?
34591Why dwell in the past, Lou? 34591 Why not?"
34591Why not?
34591Why remind me of that man, Penny?
34591Why should I?
34591Why, Dad?
34591Why, what is wrong?
34591Will I?
34591Will we be home by ten o''clock? 34591 Will you notify the police?"
34591Will you stay with me?
34591Worried about me? 34591 Would acrobats use them, do you think?"
34591Yes?
34591Yet the mediums continue to fleece the public?
34591You admit that you''re a medium?
34591You are satisfied that I have not read the message?
34591You did n''t let anyone into the apartment building tonight?
34591You do n''t think there''s any mistake, Mr. Parker? 34591 You expect to attend the sà © ance?"
34591You expect to use these rooms for public sà © ances?
34591You have lost a loved one recently?
34591You have no proof of it?
34591You have?
34591You here, Slippery?
34591You mean I''ll be able to see him?
34591You mean he threatened her?
34591You mean that man who entered the Temple and then left so suddenly?
34591You mean tonight?
34591You remember me, I believe?
34591You remember that when the Kohls were robbed the police could n''t figure out how the burglar gained entrance?
34591You say, too, that the banjo was high overhead when it played?
34591You see that young man yonder?
34591You see what?
34591You see?
34591You surely do n''t think it just happened by_ accident_?
34591You''re all right?
34591You''re not packing your things already?
34591You''ve done_ what_?
34591Your name, please?
34591Am I hired?"
34591And what became of the ladder?
34591And what do you plan to do with two cars?"
34591Anyone here?"
34591Are you sure it''s safe?"
34591Bailey?"
34591But how did he learn the houses were deserted?
34591But what made it rise into the air, and how could it play without the aid of human hands?"
34591By telephoning?"
34591CHAPTER 7_ MARK OF THE IRON HOOK_"What do you think of it?"
34591Ca n''t you think of something?"
34591Can you not show yourself that we may know it is truly your spirit which communicates with us?"
34591Could n''t it mean that the crooks, whoever they were, telephoned the apartment to make certain it was deserted before breaking in?"
34591DeWitt?"
34591Did you notice two small suction cups which were taken from his pockets by the police?"
34591Do n''t you realize we''ve got to work together or we''ll be jailed separately?
34591Do you know what I think?
34591Do you mind explaining?"
34591Do you think the police will blame me for the robbery?"
34591Even so, how was it painted so quickly?"
34591Has anything gone wrong here?"
34591Has he accepted money for the sà © ances he conducts there?"
34591Have you a ouija board in the house?"
34591Hodges?"
34591How about it, Dad?"
34591How could Mrs. Hodges have psychic powers?
34591How could he have obtained the name and address?"
34591How could such a ladder be raised to the window ledge?
34591How could your man have obtained Kohl''s name and address from the license number?"
34591How did you get Slippery''s ladder?"
34591How did you get up there?"
34591How did you know?"
34591How much did he leave you?"
34591How much did you pay for it?"
34591How much has she learned?"
34591How was he able to raise a table and read a message in a sealed envelope?"
34591How would you guess he lifted the table?"
34591I ask you, what''s the good of having a weekly allowance when you never get to use it yourself?"
34591I do all the dangerous work, and what do I get?
34591I hope you''re not falling under this fellow''s spell?"
34591Is Maud here?"
34591Is Mrs. Weems still here?"
34591Is n''t it a law that a father has to support his child?"
34591Is n''t it in the realm of possibility that Mrs. Hodges may have had a message from Cousin David?"
34591Is n''t that so, Dad?"
34591Is n''t that true?"
34591Is n''t the news of her inheritance wonderful, Penelope?"
34591Just what_ will_ your father say?"
34591May I ask what you find of such interest in this alley?"
34591May I interest you in a car?"
34591Now let me ask this: Who are you, and how did you get in here?"
34591Oh, what will the Kohls say when they learn about it?"
34591One for me, you mean?"
34591Or are you willing to back them in a material way?"
34591Parker?"
34591Penny, could n''t Gepper have painted the picture himself in the darkness?"
34591Penny, you saw the man plainly?"
34591Remember the Kippenberg wedding I covered?"
34591Shall we make it fifty a week?"
34591Shall we set a definite date-- say tomorrow at two o''clock?"
34591Shall we try to reach Cousin David again?"
34591Suppose you''re robbed on the way downtown?"
34591That they distrusted each other was evident, but why had the woman feared Slippery might break into the bell tower during the guard''s absence?
34591The iron hooks would serve her purpose, but dared she try it?
34591The meetings are open to the public, are n''t they?
34591The question is, what shall we do with her?"
34591Then Penny heard him say:"Oh, it''s you, Mrs. Weems?
34591Tired?"
34591Understand?"
34591Understand?"
34591Want to drive past there?"
34591Was it not possible that he might return there before leaving Riverview?
34591Was n''t the message written on a pad of paper before it was placed in the envelope?"
34591Was some intruder hidden in that room?
34591We take most of the risk, plan all the big jobs, so why should n''t we have more?"
34591Weems?"
34591Weems?"
34591Weems?"
34591Weems?"
34591What have you done this time?"
34591What purpose could it serve?"
34591What''s that?
34591What''s this about a traveling outfit?"
34591When there came a lull in the excited flow of words, she said quietly:"Mr. Bailey, do you mind answering a few questions?"
34591Where are you taking yourself?"
34591Who are you, girlie?"
34591Who but he or an accomplice could have known where the money was hidden?"
34591Who can know about The Life Beyond?
34591Who uses them and why?"
34591Why are you convinced that Mr. Gepper is a medium?"
34591Why not promise to stay with us instead of going away on a trip?"
34591Why?"
34591Will that be okay?"
34591Will you please come inside and close the door?"
34591Will you, Penelope?"
34591Would n''t you think a policeman could find something else to do?"
34591You are dumbfounded, my little one?"
34591You did n''t see the man note down the plates of other cars?"
34591You have someone to take her place?"
34591You read in the paper that their home was entered?"
34591You think Penny should write the story?"
34591You would not like that, I take it?"
34591You''re quite sure you locked the suite door?"
