You'd better come in when I open up--" "The gang had some talk about cleaning out the bank while they 're about it," Bud remembered suddenly.

"Can't you appoint me something, or hire me as a guard and let me help out?

We've been held up, once--and they cleaned us out of cash." Jimmy turned to Mrs.Hanson.

"Mother, can't you run over and have Jess come and swear Mr.Birnie in as a deputy?
If I go, or he goes, someone may notice it and tip the gang off." Mrs.Hanson hastily deposited the baby in its cradle and went to call "Jess", her face pink with excitement.
"You're lucky you stopped at her house instead of some other place," Jimmy observed.
