Snaith, still unconvinced, hesitated, then assented, halting a brief distance from Maitland and toying abstractedly with his cane while the young man plucked at the draw-string.

Nobody spoke and everybody watched, and when, finally, with his hand, he brushed the remaining grains off the torn paper into the envelope, poured them into the gaping sack-mouth, and lazily pulled at the buckskin draw-string, everybody sat wondering how much, if any, of the precious metal had escaped through the tear, and how soon Dillon would come out of his brown study, remember, and recover the loss.
The top of the skirt may be finished with a draw-string or a band made from cloth. The bottom of the skirt may be left as it is, or be finished with a blanket stitch of some contrasting color. The skirt requires five yards of flat web. Little Boy's Hat Measure the child's head for the size of the hat. Make the crown of the hat one-half of this measurement.
Use flat web and sew it into two rectangular pieces wide enough to make each leg a little full. Join the inside seams part way and then join the open edge of the right front with the open edge of the left front. Do the same with the back edges. Put a draw-string around the top, or a piece of the web may be used for a waistband. Put in a draw-string around the bottom of each leg.

"Sure you did, but that's not the question," he persisted. "I asked you if any other punchers had met up with accidents out there lately." The old man continued to cock an eye on the store entrance.
Carluk turned and addressed the wailing women. Other bucks, listening, raised their voices authoritatively, and slowly the squaws stilled, and quieted the children near to them. Carluk paused from fumbling the draw-string and held up his fingers many times. "Him people make 'm die," he said. And Smoke, following the count, knew that seventy-five of the tribe had starved to death.
"Never mind, Joe, it takes more than a little walk like that to play me out." "You'd better stop in at Colonel Price's and rest a while before you start back," he suggested. "Maybe I will," said she. She plunged her hand into the black draw-string bag which she carried on her arm, rummaging among its contents.
Daylight had begun to fail when Auld Jock stirred, sat up, and did a strange thing: taking from his pocket a leather bag-purse that was closed by a draw-string, he counted the few crowns and shillings in it and the many smaller silver and copper coins. "There's eneugh," he said.
Boston man have plenty grub. Boston man like 'm gold. We take 'm gold, go Yukon, Boston man give 'm grub. Plenty gold. Me savvy Boston man like 'm gold." He began fumbling with wasted fingers at the draw-string of a pouch he took from his belt. "Too much make 'm noise," Shorty broke in distractedly.
