Only a dime, ten cents!"

We were all shaking, and our heads were wobbling and we were wiping our
feet all over each other and the kid was shouting through his crazy
megaphone, and I was just going to pull it away from him and throw it
out of the car, when all of a sudden he dropped it and whispered,
"_Look--look!_ _Up there!_ _Look, quick!_"

"You're seeing stars," I said; "no wonder."

"_Look!_" he said. "It's a--it's th--th----"

"Now you see what you get from swinging too much," I said.

"Look--athe--athe--uppp----" he stuttered. "I--sa--thbandidt----"

"No, you don't," I said. "No more bandits. _Stop rocking, you fellows,
will you_; or this kid will be seeing some wild Indians."

They didn't pay any attention, only went on rocking the car more
and more. They had been rocking so hard they couldn't stop. Pee-wee's
jack-knife was bobbing against his belt, his compass was flopping
around, his megaphone was all over our laps, and his cooking
set was banging around on the floor. He was pointing up in the
air the best he could and saying, "Stpthe car, stpthecar--ts--the
bandit--tsthba--a--a--a--a--nt----"

The more I laughed the dizzier I got and the dizzier I got the more I
laughed. They were all laughing so hard and they were all so dizzy they

Pee-wee was tumbling all around from one fellow's lap to another's and
trying to talk. "Lkthba--a--a--a--a--nt----" That was about all _I_
could make of it.

CHAPTER XX

SEEING THINGS

Just then, I don't know, I seemed to see a face. I didn't know where I
saw it but it was up above me.

I shouted, "Stop--op--op--this car--rar--I com--mom--mom--_and_ you!"

Pretty soon the car stopped rocking.

"It's--it's the bandit," Pee-wee said; "did you see?"

"You've been seeing things," Westy said.

"I'll leave it to Roy," the kid said.

"I saw a face," I told them; "it was----"

"_Shh--look!_" Pee-wee whispered; "straight up."

I looked, and away up through all the trestle work, I could see a head
move back into the car at the top. The big axle of the wheel was right
between our car and that other one and it hid part of the car. It
seemed as if that person up there had been peeking at us and drew in his
head quickly so as not to be seen. I saw this much, that he had a cap
on.

"Did you see?" I whispered to Westy.

"Sure I did," he said. "That was no baseball target."

"Baseball target?" the ki
