After him, Hammond and Thompson, and you, Porter! shouted the leader.
gpt
Don't let him get away from you.
human
Boy, I believe we have made a mistake. That fellow is the real thief.
gpt
I don't know about that, said our hero,
human
If he isn't the thief, what motive could he have had in accusing an innocent person?
gpt
Perhaps it is some one who has a grudge against me.
human
It must be an awful grudge to induce him to lay such a plot as that against you. Do you suspect anyone?
gpt
I'd rather not mention any names,
human
Don't let this here boy fule yer, he said.
gpt
I b'lieve he's one o' the gang. Mark my word, it'll turn aout so.
human
You think so, do you, Mr. Chadwick?
gpt
Yeou know me, dew yeou?
human
Yes, and you ought to know me. Have you forgotten Allen Allston?
gpt
I'll be derned ef it ain't Jack Allston's boy! he exclaimed.
human
Why, o' course I know yeou.
gpt
I told you my name before.
human
I wuz so 'xcited that I didn't take notice. I wuz so sure, yeou see, thet we hed the right one. Boys --turning to the others--
gpt
I'll swear thet this here lad don't know no more 'baout who stole them hosses than we do. I know all his folks, an' there ain't a dishonest hair in the heads o' enny o' them. I'd ha' know'd him at fust, but I ain't seen him fer a year or more, an' he's grow'd. An' besides, my eyesight ain't what it used ter be. Boys, we've hed a narrer escape from committin' a murder.
