“We’d better hurry back,” he said, “and send someone after the Greaser. He’s dangerous.” And without further words the two set forth. “It is awfully hard to be among the best, Uncle Isaac,” with an apologetic smile. A frightfully piercing whistle resounded in the little room. “Let’s give the old fellow our air mattress. We won’t need it any more and maybe he would like it.”.
