He made what he considered sufficient inquiry as to the right direction, and resolved to save even the carfare of five cents by walking the distance.
You've all been dead game I'll hand it to you for that every white chip has gone into the pot. If we fail we'll have to borrow carfare to get outa here. And here's Applehead. We've used his ranch, we've used his house and his horses and himself; we've killed his cattle for beef, by ! And we've got just that one chance the chance of a storm for winning out.
But the week worker not only lacks recompense for actual labor, but is often put to greater expense. "She does not know when her long day is coming, so she must buy her supper, when supper is waiting for her at home. She is often so tired that she must spend 5 cents for carfare, instead of walking.
"Just hurry things along to an agreement tween you and me, and I'll tell you." "I'll give you $10 a day and reasonable expenses. That doesn't include your board; only your carfare and such incidentals when you're away from home. That is all conditioned, of course, on your proving to my satisfaction that you have the information you say you have.
"Take your old machine," said Rackliff, "and I hope it may be my everlasting finish if I ever ride another rod on it. Look at me! I'm a complete wreck, and all because you were too blamed stingy to lend me the price of carfare from Clearport. This suit is ruined, and I'm soaked to the bone.

She understood now why every girl without a family back of her, and without good prospect of marriage, was revolving the idea of becoming a streetwalker not as a hope, but as a fear.
This individual was scout Harris, alias Peewee, alias Kid, alias Shorty, alias Speck, and he was so small that he might have saved his carfare by going parcel post if he had cared to do so. If he had, he should have been registered, for there was only one Peewee Harris in all the wide world. "Are we going to carry the tent or send it up by the camp wagon?"
"I can give you money; that's the least I can do. Until you are able to work again." And as she drew away, "We'll call it a loan, if that makes you feel better. You haven't anything, have you?" "He has everything I've earned.. I've never had a penny except carfare." "Poor little girl!" he said again. She was still weak, he saw, and he led her into the deserted cafe.
This also was on Friday and I knew that the Lord was directing me to go on the following Wednesday. I was in need of a suit of clothes, as what I had was not fit to wear in public. I was also in need of carfare. An elderly sister was staying with us and together with my wife we had prayer and agreed that the Lord would supply these needs before Wednesday morning.
