Cut little notches in them, and lay them for a short time in very cold water. Then put them into the stew-pan with the liquor or soup-stock of the first fish. Season with pepper, salt, and mace, and add half a pint of white wine or two table-spoonfuls of vinegar. Boil it gently for a quarter of an hour, and skim it well.
"This Sikkem. I don't like him. But " Nan dismissed the matter in her own way. "Sikkem's been on the ranch nigh three years. He's a cattleman first, and hates rustlers worse than poison. But he's tough. Oh, he's tough, all right. I wouldn't gamble a pea-shuck he hasn't quite a dandy bunch of notches on his gun. But we're used to his sort."
But he was careful to keep his hands in plain view. "You are the Earth dog who killed the Magnificents." "I wouldn't call names," Hilary advised. "It might be unhealthy. But I am that very individual. And I trust" he bowed mockingly-"to have more notches on my gun before I am through." "You you shall be taken to Mercury. My father has special places for such as you."
"Ein-tein-tethera-methera-pimp; awfus-dawfus-deefus-dumfus-dik."

The silence that followed the words of the boy was broken by Quantrell's old grayback. Dave Roush was a bad man a killer. He had three notches on his gun. Perhaps he had killed others before coming West. At any rate, he was no fair match for this undersized boy. "He's a kid, Dave. You don't want to gun a kid. You, Clanton whatever you call yourself light a shuck pronto git out!"
But whatever the purpose of the notches, the gaucho knows they will enable him to climb up with ease, and see what rests upon the platform. Approaching the catafalque with silent tread, he stands for a time gazing at it without making any movement to mount up.
The golden-walled mesas stood up, black fringed against the blue. In the bold notches burned the red of autumn foliage. Valleys spread between the tablelands. There was room for a hundred homesteads. Pan's keen eye sighted only a few and they were farther on, green squares in the gray. Down toward Siccane cattle made tiny specks on the vast expanse.
Preparing the Rungs. Lay a piece of rung batten across the lowest notches, the end overhanging the side by a quarter of an inch or so to allow for the taper of the ladder, and draw your pencil along the angles which it makes with the sides. Mark the positions of the nail holes.
The Norman billet we shall not meet with in Venice; the bead constantly occurs in Byzantine, and of course in Renaissance work. § IV. But the roll, if it be of any size, deserves better treatment.
