There's his cock-eye looking straight at me through the wooden Indian in front of the cigar-store across the street. Then I looked once more, and says, 'But it can't be.
Though they retain their positions, seldom abandoning the ground on which they were originally built, they change almost hourly their appearance and their uses, insomuch that the very solids of the city seem fluid, and even the stables are mutable, the horse-house of last week being an office for the sale of patents, or periodicals, or lottery-tickets, this week, with every probability of becoming an oyster-cellar, a billiard-saloon, a cigar-store, a barber's shop, a bar-room, or a faro-bank, next week.
It is meant for an allegorical picture of Brute Force, and it has its foot upon Intellect Intellect, mind you! and not a cigar-store Indian. It is a likeness of Captain Kidd, and I set it back to represent the fact that Brute Force belonged to the Dark Ages. How on earth that man of yours ever got an idea that it was St. Augustine beats me." "It is singular," said the major.
The train did not leave till night, and Bucks took advantage of the interval to go uptown to make some necessary purchases of linen and clothing. On his way back to the station, with his package under his arm, he saw, on the edge of the broad sidewalk, Harvey Levake. Levake was standing near a wooden-Indian cigar-store sign, looking directly at Bucks as the latter walked toward him.
Durkin waited until the lights of the cigar-store went out. Then he once more circled the block, keeping to the shadows. As he passed the darkened cigar-store for the second time his foot, as though by accident, came sharply in contact with the refracting-prismed manhole cover which had sounded so hopefully hollow to his previous tread.

Something was wrong with the machine that was showing the picture. At just that moment of all the moments! the worn-out film seemed to be going to pieces before her eyes. After the little dog came along, and just as Howie should come out from the cigar-store, there was a flash a blur a jumble of movements. It was like an earthquake it looked like life ceasing to be life.
The candy-shop and cigar-store, both holding heavy liabilities against the academy, quickly followed. By the lurid gleams of the flames, a long, low, sloop-rigged scow, with every mast gone except one, slowly worked her way out of the mill-dam towards the Sound. The next day three boys were missing C. F. Adams Golightly, B. F. Jenkins, and Bromley Chitterlings. Had they perished in the flames?
And old Minuit, the Indian, selling his island for a song, was so much a matter of reality to Smith that Helen came to believe in him also as a real individual. "There he is now!" Smith once suddenly remarked, as they turned a corner and found themselves almost in the arms of an exceptionally spirited cigar-store figure. "Who?" Helen had asked in surprise.
