"Now I want to know what this is all about?" demanded Frank when they once more had recovered themselves.
"Yes, what devil's prank put this joint on the blink?" added Tony. "I've had some jars in my time, but I never did have such an all-fired bump as this one."
"Me not know," answered Dew Drop hanging her head.
"What were you and the bones doing when it happened?" urged Frank, pointing to the mangled remains of the medicine man.
