"Read a bit, then; I'll help you," resumed Tommy, with a patronizing air. So Nat did his best, and floundered through a page with may friendly "boosts" from Tommy, who told him he would soon "go it" as well as anybody.
"Yes, more money than I made last year," MacRae replied "unless Folly Bay boosts prices to the sky in an effort to drive me out of business." "I don't think there's much danger of that," Stubby said. "I doubt if Folly Bay opens this season. It's reported that Gower is broke." "Eh?" MacRae looked his doubt. "That's what they say," Stubby went on. "It's common talk.
And the great Salvini covered his ears with his hands as the phonograph continued relentlessly, "one, two, one, two, higher, two." One of the drawers in my desk is full of letters that people have sent in. Some of them are knocks or boosts, but most of them are tips. There are several hundred tips on stories in the drawer.
"To-day I have put the Works into a new Combine which makes me a Janitor so far as the Plant is concerned, but boosts me into the Charley Schwab division when it comes to Collateral. I have three million Iron Boys and most of it is Turkey. I am foot-loose and free as a Robin. Let us beat it to the Big Show.
"No," Stubby said affectionately, "I know you're not, old man. Nor am I. But I'm going to get action, and I have a hunch you will too. Now about this fish business. If you think you can get them, I'll certainly go you on that twenty per cent. proposition up to the point where Gower boosts me out of the game, if that is possible. We shall have to readjust our arrangement then."
To-day he's paying fifty and hinting more if he has to." MacRae laughed. "We'll match Gower's price till he boosts us out of the bidding," he said. "And he won't make much on his pack if he does that." "Say, Folly Bay," Jack called across to the mustard-pot carrier, "what are you paying for bluebacks?" The skipper took his eye off the tallyman counting in fish.
Then, too, they learned that that morning the stock of the Consolidated companies had leaped forward in one of those unexpected boosts for which it was noted. Wimperley and the rest of them had never gambled in it, but time and time again it moved as though animated by the spread of secret and definite information.
Doctor Kirby tells him it will do the work all right. And then the bishop, after beating around the bush some more, comes out with his idea. Whether he expected there would be any Messiah come or not, of course he knowed the doctor wasn't him. But he is willing to boost the doctor's game as long as it boosts HIS game. He wants to be in on the deal. He wants part of the graft.
Gussy, it achieves the same effect without using any dope at all. Listen: a tickler reminds you of your duties and opportunities your chances for happiness and success! What's the obvious next step?" "Throw it out the window. By the way, how do you do that when you're underground?" "We have hi-speed garbage boosts. The obvious next step is you give the tickler a heart.
'I'm goin' to sell you a three-legged hoss! An' listen to the ole man he's wuth more'n any four-legged hoss, livin' or dead! "I rubbers hard to get a look at a hoss Pappy boosts like that, 'n' I nearly croaks when they lead Hamilton into the ring. The colt's a dink, right. He's stiff as a poker behind, but he's still got that game-cock look to his eye.
