You shall at least say I kept my word about the trees to-day." And they started at once for the scene of action, Minturn obtaining on the way a shovel from the tool-room. "To think she's eighteen years old and got a beau!" muttered the farmer, as he and Hiram started two new holes. They were dug and others begun, yet the young people had not returned.
Between the main house and the stable, with all its attendant minor sheds and lean-to, was a long, low-roofed wooden structure, divided into dairy, wash-house, tool-room, workshop, and, at the end farthest from the dairy, what is called a 'man's room. This latter apartment was now my private sanctuary, entered by nobody else, unless at my invitation.
The boys accordingly began to look about the barn for a place to hide. It was a large barn, with stalls for oxen and cows, and cribs for horses, and one or two calf-pens. Then there was a granary in one corner, and a tool-room near it, and lofts and scaffolds above. The boys found plenty of places to hide in, and it took them some time to decide which to choose.
Worth was trying the tool-room door. "Got the key?" he called. "It's locked." "Yes." I took my time fitting and turning it. "How did you know this was the room?" "I didn't," briefly.

His features were hard-set, a fighting rage burning in his eyes, his sinews taut as if about to spring upon an adversary.
Svenson, the caller, who brought the order from the Copah sub-despatcher's office, unloaded his news upon the circle of R.B.W. engineers, firemen, and roundhouse roustabouts lounging on the benches in the tool-room and speculating morosely upon the probable changes which the new management would bring to pass.

Judson hung upon his heel for a moment, and then went slowly out through the tool-room and across the yard tracks to the Crow's Nest. He found McCloskey in his office above stairs, mouthing and grimacing over the string-board of the new time-table. "Well?" growled the trainmaster, when he saw who had opened and closed the door.
