You see, I've reformed consid'r'ble since -since last summer, and I j'ined a surveyin' crew; axeman now, rodman later, if I'm good, an' " "But why did you want to see me? Was it about this boundary question?" "Oh, you admit there is some question about it, after all?" "Are you trying to pump me, Terrill?" asked Ralph, shrewdly suspicious.
He saw them together. 'And heard them talking? 'Yes. Rodman had only implied this. Alice's subsequent interrogation had failed to elicit more from him than dark hints. Mutimer drew a quick breath. 'He must be good at spying. Next time I hope he'll find out something worth talking about. Alice was surprised. 'You know about it? 'Just as much as Rodman, do you understand that?
Rodman was invaluable as surveyor of the works; his experience appeared boundless, and had been acquired in many lands. He was now a Socialist of the purest water, and already he enjoyed more of Mutimer's intimacy than anyone else.
To put it concretely, I'm in need of a rodman. Do you think you'd care to oblige?" Again the hint of banter persisted, but Garry's jaw was tight when he faced suddenly around. "I will!" he flashed back, hoarsely. "I will, if it's a man's job. But I'm done with filling a dinky pad with rows of figures, all day long. I'm finished with this damned tallying of cans of beans and soap and yards of rope!
During the Federal war much more wonderful things had been seen.

"Neither have I, nor any father, nor any relations but Aunt Boynton and Ivory.
"You cubs better clear out of here now," suggested one of the rodmen. "I know better how to take care of men with mountain fever." "I hope you do know more about nursing than I do, Carter," replied Tom very quietly. "In the future, however, don't forget that, though I may be a cub, I am an engineer, and you are a rodman. When you speak to me address me as Mr. Reade.
Unlike Ned, he was a man of a passionate and revengeful nature, and the second mate, to whose boat he belonged, had warned the cooper of the Shawnee never to meet Gerald Rodman ashore alone. "He is a man who will never forgive an injury, and I would not care to be in your shoes if he gets you by yourself one day."
Maybe I am nothing but a rancher a thousand miles from anywhere but no old crusader ever fought for the grail harder than I'm going to fight for my little old sky pilot. And if they hurt him ! Old Moose groaned as Douglas involuntarily thrust the spurs home. There was a light in the kitchen of the Rodman ranch house.
The Rodman Columbiad threw a shot weighing half a ton a distance of six miles, with a velocity of 800 yards per second a result which Armstrong and Palisser have never obtained in England." "This," replied Barbicane, "is, I believe, the maximum velocity ever attained?" "It is so," replied the general. "Ah!" groaned J. T. Maston, "if my mortar had not burst "
