He's m-m-meaning to w-w-wade in, too, I reckon, and when you s-s-smell the fish c-c-cooking you'll be s-s-sorry you said what you did.

" "Oh! l-l-let up, c-c-can't you, Bandy-legs!"

" "Yes, that's r-r-right," burst out Toby, in a disgusted tone, "but not a p-peep did he give about what he was d-d-doing, or if he meant to show up and c-c-claim his f-f-fine f-f-fortune.

Isn't that it, Toby?" "J-j-just what I had in my mind, Max," snapped Toby; "and any silly c-c-could easy see that.

You see, a gun is f-f-fastened to the ground, and aiming along a certain avenue that the intended thief has just g-g-got to use in c-c-coming up to the b-b-bait.

When you hear the c-c-crash, and his howls, why, you just s-s-saunter out and f-f-fetch in the s-s-spoils.

I don't know the f-f-fellow's n-n-name, but I've g-g-got his trade-mark on my c-c-cheek, every k-k-knuckle of his fist.

If I'd known that he was Roland's c-c-cousin I'd have dug a h-h-heap d-d-deeper, too!"

" "Th-th-that's all r-r-r-r-right," chattered poor Foss, "I'm d-d-d-doing f-f-f-fine herec-c-c-couldn't h-help in the b-b-b-boat" While lying to, it had taken some fine management on the part of the midshipmen to keep the sailboat from capsizing.

"Patience," he replied; "it's c-c-cumin.

And, if it is thereI c-c-can c-capture it for the B-B-Bronx" Reason tottered; it revived, however, as he plunged into the s. w.[A] of Oyster Bay and struck out, silent as a sea otter for the shimmering shape on the ruddy rocks.

And I c-c-can't ask a m-m-man toto" "Perhaps you can't," allowed her adviser magnanimously.

"Because they are n-n-nasty, mean things," said Judith, "and if they weren't going to let C-C-Camilla go to the picnic, I wasn't going to let them have any picnic!"

Simultaneously there disappeared from the scene the Buffalo Butte ranch and the brand by which it had been known; and in its place upon the flank of every live thing controlled, stared forth a C locked to a C (C-C): the heraldry of the new master, Clayton Craig.
