"It is a pirate ship," said the other, his face hardening as he spoke, "and it will soon be firing at us to heave to." At that moment there was a flash at the bow of the approaching vessel, a little smoke, and then the report of a cannon came over the water. Without further delay, the captain and crew of the King and Queen went to work and hove to their brig. Young Dickory Charter also hove to.
She tried to put it away by chattering smartly; the theatre-wagon rolled along to the clicking of hoofs on the asphalt; but through it all the troublous knocking persistently recurred. For this was one of the few times when she had lingered upon a thought of that first romance of hers; and now, coupled with her hardening criticism of Willoughby, it brought forth insistent questions.
The blower then set to work, and blew hard into the pipe until the glass at its lower extremity began to expand and gradually took a pear-shaped form, the material partially coolling and hardening, but still retaining a good deal of softness and pliability.

It was truly so, O my God, since I thus died to self, in order to live wholly in Thee, and in thy precious love. To resume my history, a servant of mine wanted to become a Barnabite. I wrote about it to Father de la Mothe.
Had he at last altered his mind, or, worse still, had his old obstinacy again taken possession of him, hardening his heart so that he would never relent? And so, with his mind as checkered as the shadow-flecked path on which they stepped, he pursued his way beneath the wide-spreading trees. When the two had crossed the street St. George's eye rested upon a group on the sidewalk of the club.
The physicians do not agree as to his immunity, and some of them think that Rhannin, which is his name, is a fakir who has by long practice succeeded in hardening himself against the impressions of metal upon his skin.

I believe there's good stuff in that fellow!" "Diamond would like to kill Merriwell," said Parker. "You can see it in his face and eyes." In truth there was a deadly look in the eyes of the pale-faced young Virginian. His lips were pressed together, and a hardening of the jaws told that his teeth were set. He was following Merriwell up, and the latter was avoiding him with ease.
On taking the shoes off a very little neat's-foot oil should be rubbed into the leather to prevent its hardening and cracking.
