"Wait -Snap will make them toe the mark," answered the smaller youth. "He said he would do it before he left." During the afternoon the two boys took the rowboat and also some lines and a drag-net and rowed over to the vicinity of Humpback Rock, where the tipping over had occurred. "You can see how shallow the water is here," said Shep. "We ought to find at least some of our things."

For the apprehension and return of deserters from ships in home ports a drag-net system of rewards and conduct-money sprang into being; but this the sailor to some extent contrived to elude. He "stuck a cockade in his hat" and made shift to pass for a soldier on leave; or he laid furtive hands on a horse and set up for an equestrian traveller.

It was asserted that Harry Feversham had been seen on the very morning after the dance, and at five minutes to six though according to Mrs. Brien O'Brien it was ten minutes past the hour still in his dress clothes and with a white suicide's face, hurrying along the causeway by the Lennon Bridge. It was suggested that a drag-net would be the only way to solve the mystery. Mr.

But Tommy Dye and other eager, tireless agents of the general had already searched far and wide.

And no horse which even promised to beat Maria had yet been found, so that the general's defeat was still rankling bitterly, for it was the bitterest that he had ever met or ever was to meet.

The business of the latter was then to ride directly back to camp, driving all cattle before him. Each was in sight of his right- and left-hand neighbour. Thus was constructed a drag-net whose meshes contracted as home was neared. I was detached, when of our party only the Cattleman and Homer remained. They would take the outside.

Paris has a natural and easy connection of its parts, which will not be affected by any scheme of a geometrical constitution; nor does it much signify whether its proportion of representation be more or less, since it has the whole draught of fishes in its drag-net.

Men on the outside circle merely turned the cattle on the extremes of the range; they were followed by inner horsemen, and the drag-net closed at a grazing pace, until the round-up halted on a few acres. The first three shipments had tried out the remuda. The last course in the education of a cow-horse is cutting cattle out of a mixed round-up.

It may take another year or two to shape up our cattle, but after that, every hoof must be double-wintered." An hour after sunrise, the drag-net was drawing together the first round-up of the day. The importance of handling heavy beeves without any excitement was fully understood, and to gather a shipment without disturbing those remaining was a task that required patience and intelligence.

San Francisco awoke one morning to find herself in the drag-net of a machine to which old Boss Buckley and the illustrious Tammany doffed their hats.

Well thank you very much, and don't let us talk about it any more. You're like a drag-net, bringing up the unpleasant. Don't let us quarrel." "Quarrel! I couldn't," Helen said simply. "Are you so pleased to see me?" Helen's reluctant smile expanded. "I suppose it's that." "Aha! It's lovely to be me! People go down like ninepins! Why?" Piously, she appealed to Heaven. "Why?"
