I am about dead. Can't get any sleep. And I lost thirty-two pounds up to Duluth. I expect to die down here. P.S.

I wanted to find out how much of it really was cut." "It's all cut and stacked by the siding, taking up half the yard. Want to see it?" Bannon smiled and nodded. "Here's a good cigar for you," he said, "and you're a good fellow, but I think I'd like to see the cribbing." "Oh, that's all right," laughed Dennis. "I'd have said the same thing if it wasn't cut. Come out this way."
A head looked in at the window, and the King greeted him, "Good evening, Monsieur; so busy?" Like a boy surprised in cribbing, the writer threw his papers into disorder, and drew half a sheet of Dutch vellum over them. "Yes, sire, I have just finished a poem to the Emperor Kian-Loung, which is an answer to his 'Eloge de Mukden." "To the Emperor of China! You have grander acquaintances than I."
That was a great deal for the Dappled Gray to say, for although he had a very kind heart, he did not often praise people, and hardly ever said such things about two-year-olds. That made it all the harder for him when the Bay Colt became cross over being told to stop cribbing.
Dunnot go and leave it about to tempt folks. I'll not answer for myself if money's left about. I may be cribbing a sovereign." "But where does it come from?" said he. "Come from!" she replied.

C. railroad, now that a train had been stopped. The steamer lay quietly at the dock, the long pile of cribbing on her deck shadowed by the high bow deckhouse from the lights on the spouting house.
"You just listen to the sound that comes from behind this cribbing, and tell me what you make of it!" Both boys listened intently for a moment, and then Sandy switched on his light and moved swiftly along the cribbing as if in search of an opening. Tommy gazed at him in astonishment. "You've gone and done it now!" he said. "There's some one in here all right!" Sandy explained.
