When this happened the man who owned a horse living nearest to the unredeemed automobile always hitched up and dragged the car home. For Dr. Ambrose was beloved as few men save a physician is ever loved in a country community. "You got a hard crack and no mistake, young man," the physician said, plastering his patient's head in a workmanlike manner.
Billy's smooth-shaven face was pale, the blood never mounting to his cheeks, so he made amends as best he could and blushed with the top of his head. "Good evening to you, Rita," he said, as he lifted her to the ground and hitched her horse. "I am delighted to see you. You come like the rosy sun after a rainy day." "The sun doesn't come after the day, Billy Little," retorted the laughing girl.
Tom grabbed a chair, hitched it close to the desk and pulled Astro down beside him. He opened the book and began studying the problem. "Now look you have twenty-two tons of fuel and considering the position of your ship in space "

"Th' on'y hope f'r th Indyun is to put his house on rollers, an' keep a team hitched to it, an', whin he sees a white man, to start f'r th' settin' sun. He's rooned whin he has a cellar. He ought to put all th' plugged dollars that he gets from th' agent an' be pickin' blueberries into rowlin' stock.
In fence corners and under trees, along every approach to the town, horses were hitched many of them with heaps of provender on the ground before them, that they might feed at any hour which suited their appetites; and vehicles of every known pattern, from family coach to ox-cart, thronged the highways.
Nat was making frantic efforts, but the gun was not reloaded. Recharging an old "Queen's arm" was a work of time. Fortunately for the boys, the attention of the moose was full fixed on the horses. With another furious snort, it gained the top of the bank and bounded toward where they stood hitched, chewing their hay.
Having left most of their ammunition where they thought that it would do the most good in the German lines, these wanderers hitched themselves around and waddled back to their own people.
