  You must have been walked for hours-- We did walk for hours, Jim answered, and we fell in with an uncivilized tribe of white men, not natives-- White men? One day they learned that a new army of white men was coming, so a band carrying the treasures of the temple with them started by a roundabout route to join the distant community.

  Jack could joke under almost any serious conditions; but Tom felt relieved to know the worst. By degrees the scope of Jack's plan was grasped by his family, who of course knew about the strange conditions of Joshua Kinkaid's will, whereby the bulk of his large estate, long before promised to the Parmlys, would go without restrictions to either Randolph Carringford or Jack Parmly, according to which of them, after the death of the testator, appeared before a notary public specified in Bridgeton, and qualified to assume the trust.

  Dick was wholly and entirely a product of the war. Dick was a general favourite, and more than one pretty girl in the room would have been only too glad to arouse something more than a passing interest in the young airman, whose dare-devil exploits above the German lines in France had brought him the Flying Cross, whose brilliant career had been cut short by a bullet wound, received in a dog-fight above Bethune, which had rendered him unfit for the continual hardships of active service.

  It's all right, Perk old man, soothed Jack, knowing just how mean his chum must be feeling, with that unseen girl a witness to his upset and her low gurgles of laughter coming distinctly to their ears in the bargain, your intentions were okay, and you certainly did pot him neatly. Their first assignment called for service carrying the flyers over the Mexican border to apprehend a notorious character who had long been a thorn in the flesh of the Washington authorities, since he came and went, mostly via the air route, crashing Uncle Sam's frontier gate with cargoes of undesirable aliens, usually Chinese, willing to pay as much as a thousand dollars per head for an opportunity to enter the States, forbidden ground to those of their race.[1] Having, despite all difficulties, carried out their instructions to the letter and handed over their man to the nearest U. S. District Attorney for prosecution, Jack and Perk were later on dispatched with their efficient plane to the Gulf Coast of Florida, there to break up a powerful combination of smugglers through whose bold and lawless ventures, by air and sea, the whole Southern country was being submerged in a flood of foreign brands of liquor.

  To be sure, they were comfortable enough, housed in the cabin of the big amphibian, and with plenty of good eats at hand, as well as soft drinks in abundance--what a grand forager that same Perk would make if the occasion should ever arrive where it was necessary to live off the country, as many an invading army has found itself compelled to do. I'm right glad yeou done tole me so, suh, Perk hastened to reply, doubtless with one of his usual chuckles; 'case all I kin make aout's a black smudge o' smoke ahuggin' the ground, with a few church steeples apokin' a finger through the same.

  Jest leave all that to little Perk, Senor Jack, the other told him, in half suppressed excitement; I'm the lad as kin sling the hash to beat the band. But, just the same, there appeared to be _one_ individual sauntering along Main Street, in a certain San Diego suburb, who did not seem to share in the general joyous spirit--this grumbler amidst such perfect surroundings was really an old friend of the reader, no other than Gabe Perkiser, familiarly known among his fellows of the flying fields by the shorter name of Perk.

  Why is a helmet required at all? We wouldn't require it so much with these motors, as they are equipped with a new kind of muffler which shuts out about four-fifths of the noise other airplanes get, explained Bob. Another favorite pastime with him was to post himself in front of the reflector of the big searchlight up on the cabin, and make the most comical grimaces at his image on the polished reflector inside, sometimes uttering queer noises as if he were crying, and at other times chattering with the utmost anger at the phantom monkey, mixing these demonstrations up with wild dashes around behind the lamp to see if the mimicking animal were there.

  He had promised to call her up, but there hadn't been any news to tell, nothing but the flat monotony of inaction, which meant failure, and Johnny Jewel never liked talking of his failures, even to Mary V. Oh, Johnny, is that you? She had told Johnny Jewel that she would expect him to fly straight to the ranch--if Johnny loved her.
