"When'll we see some rebels?" the boys asked."But if they are," Willis said, "the man in the street is going to lose a lot of other thingsthings dependent on our shipments."
FORE:"Now, don't be a fool, Jim," remonstrated Shorty. "You won't help me, and you'll git yourself into trouble. Somebody's got to do it, and I'd rather it'd be you than somebody else. Go ahead and obey your orders. Git your rope and your stick and your bayonet."
