"Ach, Himmel! vot a mans," muttered the German to himself, as he followed his employer out. "I vork for him, und, py chiminy grickets, I vight for him too, alretty." The stamp mill and main buildings of the mine, including the boiler and engine room, were surrounded by a stout fence of one-inch planking, perhaps ten feet in height.
Then he was dumped on the ground with a dull thud. "Mine cracious! vot does dis mean annahow"? he demanded, as he struggled to his feet. "Does you vants to kill me alretty, drowing me aroundt like a log of vood, hey"?

He was soon pulled from the ruins of the chair. "Ach! So. I unterstandt now!" exclaimed Mr. Switzer. "I haf your meaning now, of vat 'abandon' is, Mr. Pertell. I am to break der chair ven I sits on it, yes? Dot is 'abandon' a chair. Vot a queer lanquitch der English is, alretty. Vell, brings me annuder chair und I vill abandon it!" Mr. Pertell threw his hands upwards in a despairing gesture.

My frent, ven you vos DINK det, SHTAY det, BE det, and you vill lif happy!" "But your sweetheart?" I said eagerly. A slight gleam of satire stole into Rutli's light eyes.
There was a scrambling among the boys, as they hastened to get their legs from beneath that table. "I don'd feel very vell aroundt der bit uf mein stomach," gasped Hans. "I pelief I vos going to be sick alretty yet." One of the boys held the light, while they all looked under the table, but they did not find anything there. "Now, that is singular," commented Harvey Dare.

Next the country lad was invited to sing, "to develop his vocal organs." "Oh, say!" he awkwardly grinned. "I can't sing I really can't, by gum!" "Oh, you vos too modest alretty yet," declared Hans.
"All ready," answered Mr. Harrison, who was one of the principal characters. "Then go!" cried the manager, and Russ was about to turn the operating handle. "Vait! Vait a minute. Holt on!" cried the voice of Mr. Switzer. "Don't shoot yet alretty!" and he held up a restraining hand. "Oh, what's the matter now?" demanded Mr. Pertell, with a gesture of annoyance.
