When I say ‘Go,’ take Rain’s hand, crouch low, run to the centre, and between you yank that snow tank off the stage. Sabe?”,“Did the little kids take it hard?”,Relieved, yet with his nerves quivering Billy plunged into the deep woods of the higher altitudes. The air was unusually hot and stifling, and his eyes watered. “Fire in the woods somewhere,” he murmured, recognizing the odor of smoke.,Billy peeped under the cover, not heeding the little girls’ protest. “Golly, May Nell!

They took her out through the double doors, both swung wide for the first time in many weeks. It was all the boys could do to carry the heavy thing, though they went quite steadily across the vegetable garden, not without some damage to spring lettuce and summer corn, however; but on the steep, uneven slope below, the Fair Ellen came almost to grief.,“Are—are you hurt bad, Jimmy?” came in a quaking voice.,“No, like a prima donna,” his sister retorted.,CHAPTER IV THE TWO-LIGHT TIME,Billy didn’t wait.
