In order that I might send her enough for I was determined that she should not be in any remotest way a dependent I instantly cut off all my personal expenses. I had my soldier blanket, and my overalls. I needed no other clothes, for in the mine I always go barefoot. I was well used to sleeping out of doors, so I slept on the ground under the coal chutes.
They bucked away till noon without much headway, and came in with their gear smashed and a driving-rod fractured. It looked as if we were at last beaten. Number One pulled into McCloud that day eighteen hours late; it was Sankey's and Sinclair's run west. There was a long council in the round-house. The rotary was knocked out; coal was running low in the chutes.
"No," Dick answered, as he folded the letter and put it into his pocket, together with the one from his late father's partner. "Well, then, I can tell you, it's bad," said Presby, fixing him with his cool, hard stare. "The Cross is spotted. Once in a while they had pay chutes. They never had a true ledge. There isn't one there, as far as anybody that ever worked it knows.
The over-note to the clamour an uncanny thing too is the soft rustle-down of the tea itself stacked in heaps, carried in baskets, dumped through chutes, rising and falling in the long troughs where it is polished, and disappearing at last into the heart of the firing-machine always this insistent whisper of moving dead leaves.

One of his chief joys was the Chicago river, its black, mucky water churned by puffing tugs and its banks lined by great red grain elevators and black coal chutes and yellow lumber yards.

This rendezvous was to be the immediate point of departure, and all the troops composing the expedition were concentrated there.
It is as though once again the child's birthday gifts had been appropriated by its elders; but as a matter of fact the Parks of Steeplechase and Luna were, I imagine, designed deliberately for adults.
