Duncan said she'd never heard anybody lay it on the way you did. I don't believe you half know what happened, Cynthia. You made a ten-strike." "A ten-strike?" she repeated. "Well," he said, "you not only laid out Heth, but my father and Mr. Duncan, too. Mrs. Duncan laughed at 'em she isn't afraid of anything. But they didn't say a word all through breakfast. I've never seen my father so mad.
I prefer our own game birds; and if the American people will not conserve those properly and decently they deserve to have no game birds. THE EUROPEAN RED DEER IN NEW ZEALAND.

Lovell, of course, would accompany them, and Bob reported him as having made a ten-strike with the officers' mess, not being afraid to spend his money. Fortunately the present quartermaster at Buford was a former acquaintance of Lovell, the two having had business transactions. The quartermaster had been connected with frontier posts from Fort Clark, Texas, to his present position.

In making up your outfit, you want to know every man you hire, and give a preference to gray hairs, for they're not so liable to admire their shadow in sunny or get homesick in falling weather. Tom, where you made a ten-strike with the old man was in accepting that horse herd at Dodge last fall. Had you made a whine or whimper then, the chances are you wouldn't be bossing a herd this year.
Hubers is the greatest man in the world. He says he won't except anybody no, sir, not a living human soul! He's been walking up and down the floor talking about it. Gee! you ought to hear him.
