Hot-diggetty-dig! but _did_ yeou ever hear o' sech great luck in all yeour born days? Why, it seems like there might be a back door to the Hole-in-the-Wall, after all; which mebbe nary a single boob in the bunch has ever discovered!

I figured it all out while down there, and peeking, Jack continued to explain;

Great stuff yeou're a givin' me partner; looks like ever'thing might be arunnin' for a fall with them tough guys. They're so dead sure nawthin' kin reach aout an' git 'em, they trust to dumb luck, an' lays 'raound puttin' on layers o' fat, playin' keerds an' agamblin' away sech cash as they got in the divide-up arter the last scoop.

Let's hope Fortune will keep on smiling, Perk; but just the same we'll keep our wits sharpened, and let no opportunity for making a point pass us by.

Huh! guess naow as haow yeou mean we gotter to trust in the Lord, but keep aour powder dry; like the ole Pilgrim Fathers uster do in Colonial days,--as I've read in hist'ry.

Doant furgit I fetched along some bombs that cud do the trick, an' mebbe blow up that ere pass sky-high, makin' a reg'lar jumble o' things which they couldn't climb over, it might be.
gpt
Not a bad idea at all, brother, Jack told him, with an admiring look.

When it comes to doing _big_ things, especially with all kinds of bombs, (even to mustard and the tear sort) you take the cake. Wait until we get our final plan going, and we'll see what can be done to give them a great scare. With their leader missing, and the entrance to their valley fort laid in ruins, I reckon they'd cut and run for it, thinking Uncle Sam would now send a force by air ship to round them up.

Gosh amighty! but things _do_ look good to me, partner,

Well, I'm first meaning to take you down through that passage, and let you have a glimpse out through the second fissure in the cliff. I'd like to make certain, if we dared take the risk, that the sloping little trail is safe enough to let us creep down, and come up again, in case we decided to try and get in touch with Simeon this very night!
gpt
Wow! that same 'peals to me like all get-aout, partner. Le's shake a foot right away an' _go_, was Perk's energetic appeal, as he got to his feet, primed for fresh adventure and discoveries--always ready to
