He's been tied up! exclaimed Rick.
gpt
The sailor and the junk man must have tied him up so he couldn't get away.
human
And he broke loose,
gpt
No, this rope has been cut, said the Scout Master, as he looked carefully at the end of the heavy cord on the dog's neck.
human
This has been cut by a sharp knife. If some one tied Ruddy up some one cut him loose.
gpt
Ruddy had a regular collar on, said Rick, as he looked at the harsh rope around his pet's neck.
human
I wonder where it is?
gpt
Well, I guess the junk man took it off to sell it, said Sam Brown.
human
Those fellows will sell anything they get that way.
gpt
I'll cut this rope off, went on Rick.
human
It may hurt him.
gpt
Hadn't you better leave it on? asked Tom.
human
You'll want to tie him up, Rick, so he won't be taken away again.
gpt
Oh, I guess nobody will take him now! boasted Rick.
human
He'll stay right in here the rest of the night.
