It could hardly be expected that with such facilities at hand my ingenuity would not develop. One day I observed a pot of red paint on the workbench, and it struck me that the tools would look much better if I gave them a coat of paint. The thought was hardly conceived before it was put into execution, and in a short time planes, saws, augers, &c., were carefully coated over and set aside to dry.
He had wandered about the country for three weeks, remaining sometimes in one place, and sometimes in another, endeavouring to mature his plans; and hearing of the arrival of Santerre in Augers, had come thither to offer his services to the republicans, in the invasion which he understood they contemplated making into the Bocage.
So in an incredibly short time the fences were down and a swarm of men with spades, post augers, picks, and shovels had invaded the C. & S. C. right-of-way. Up and down the track a hundred yards each way from the line of the gallery Bannon had stationed men to give warning of the approach of trains. "Now," said Bannon, "we'll get this part of the job done before any one has time to kick.
But let the big augers wrangle it out; you noticed, Ash, that riot one of Scholar's outfit ever said a word one way or the other, but Flood poured it into him until he consented to swim. So fork that swimming horse of yours and wet your big toe again in the North Platte." As the orders had come from the foreman, there was nothing to do but obey.

"First, we'll make a dugout," he said. "We've got the tools axes, knives, saws, and augers and we'd better start with that."
The girl in the blackness without the candle-shine moved slightly. "What's that?" asked Dunke, startled. "What's what?" "That noise. Some one moved." Dunke's revolver came swiftly from his pocket. "I reckon it must a-been the girl." "What girl? Miss Kinney?" Dunke's hard eyes fastened on the other like steel augers. Margaret came forward and took wraithlike shape. "I want you to take me to Mrs.
