We loped along quiet and easy until sun-up. The Grindstone Buttes lay about a mile ahead of us. Looking back, we saw the Injuns coming over a rise of ground 'way in the distance. "Now," says my friend, "I know a short cut through those hills that'll bring us out at Johnson's. They've got enough punchers there to do the United States army up starched and blued. Shall we take it?"
He did not look up, for he had not heard Steve's entrance. He was pondering over the cylinder of a heavy, blued revolver, spinning beneath his transparent fingers. But Steve's first inarticulate effort at speech brought his head around. Garry smiled up at him a smile reminiscent of his rare smile of years before. "I didn't mean anything, Steve," he said in a hushed voice.
The moonlight gave a poetical indefiniteness to the distant parts of the waters, and while the rapids were glancing in her beams, the river below the falls was black as night, save where the reflection of the sky gave it the appearance of a shield of blued steel. No gaping tourists loitered, eyeing with their glasses, or sketching on cards the hoary locks of the ancient river god.
But there was a crowd of men with them, some in uniform, one I remember in a great coat, who rode upon one of the old-fashioned, high bicycles, and there was a show of clubs and bludgeons, and one man wore openly upon his hip a rusty, blued revolver, and on the whole the little procession had a look of determination and of power to injure that was rather terrible.
In the next building was a row of charcoal ovens, revolving in such a way that the parts to be blued were alternately covered and released from the superheated charcoal, the effect of the greasing also being done at every automatic revolution Each furnace door bore an asbestos clock. "What are those clocks for?" asked Hamilton.
"Sometimes, then, you are 'blued' most dismally, like the balance of unphilosophic men and women, eh?" "Occasionally my mind is very much perplexed and disturbed; not exactly 'blued, as you express it, but dimmed, clouded." "What clouds it? Will you tell me?" said Cornelia eagerly. "The struggle to see that which I suppose it never was intended I should see."
"I wish I could take this burden off your shoulders, indeed I do!" and impulsively he caught up her plump, hand and kissed it. "Oh!" She snatched the hand away and blued prettily, but was not angry. "I I ; it's something to know one has a friend, Dick," she said softly. "Can I come to you if I that is if I want something done?"
I have caught a twelve-pound lake trout on a No. 4 Sproat hook and the hook did not show that it had bent in the least. Our tackle box should contain an assortment of sizes however. Snelled hooks are better than ringed hooks and those of blued steel better than black enamel. No matter how inexpensive the rest of the equipment is, be sure that your hooks are of good quality. Keep the points sharp.
As we might say back in dear old London, this wily Rajput thinks he has pulled my leg." "I think, Colonel, that you are dead onto his wicket." "Well, then, the thing to do is to emulate the mugger. But this" Hodson lifted the paper and he grew crisp, incisive, his grey eyes blued like temper purpling polished steel "we've got to act: they've got to be delivered, and soon." "I am ready, Sir."
The frames of their buck-saws were cherry-red, the blades blued steel, and the fresh cut ends of the sticks poplar, maple, iron-wood, birch were marked with engraved rings of growth. The boys wore shoe-packs, blue flannel shirts with enormous pearl buttons, and mackinaws of crimson, lemon yellow, and foxy brown.
