It'll give you good business habits and experience, say nothing of doubling your capital." "And I've gone in with Burman on his corn deal. He's begun to buy, and he has it cinched this time. He'll be the corn king all right by June 1st; don't make any mistake on that.
"Act quickly! How?" demanded Annixter. "Good Lord! what can you do? We're cinched already. You, yourself, Derrick, have just lost your grain-rate case. S. Behrman did you up. Shelgrim owns the courts. He's got men like Ulsteen in his pocket. He's got the Railroad Commission in his pocket. He's got the Governor of the State in his pocket.
Got a lot of last year's 'varsity players left, too, and we ought to be able to turn out a pretty fair team." "Where does Captain Innes play?" Clint asked "Centre, and he's a peach. Marvin, over there, is first-string quarter this year. Edwards will be one of our ends and Hall will have right guard cinched, I think." "And where do you play?" Clint inquired. "Half, when I play," laughed the other.
The night was far spent when the brakeman called the name of the little town in which he had left his outfit, and he rose up stiff and sore from his cramped position. Kintuck, restless from long confinement in a stall, chuckled with joy when his master entered and called to him. It was still dark, but that mattered little to such as Mose. He flung the saddle on and cinched it tight.
Having concluded this bald recital, Jackson Wylie, the Second, spread his hands in a gesture of despair. "I can't understand it," he said, dolefully. "I thought I had it cinched all the time." "You had it cinched!" bellowed his father. "You! Why, you ruined it all! Why in hell did you send him over here?" "I? Send who? What are you talking about?" "That man with the boots!
The men, of course, used their rifles, which in those days were altogether too cumbersome for hunting the buffalo. The party soon came in view of the herd, which was quietly grazing about a mile off. Then the men dismounted, cinched up their saddles, and getting their arms ready for the attack, in a few moments of brisk riding were on the edge of the vast herd.
The forward belt was made snug, which he was accustomed to and expected; but when the rear girdle was cinched so tight that he found difficulty in breathing, he became nervous and wanted to protest. It was all very unusual, this rough handling, and he did not understand it. The effect of the tight cinch was peculiar, too.
"Why, it's true to the life!" cried Eda enthusiastically. "She thinks she's got all the men cinched, she does and she's forty if she's a day." These comparisons brought them to a pitch of risible enjoyment amply sustained by the spectacle in the monkey cage, to which presently they turned.
And I want to tell you this, too, Mr. Keller. It doesn't make any hit with me that you're one of those thieving nesters. Moreover, there's another charge against you. In the Malpais country we hang rustlers. The boys claim to have you cinched. We'll see." "Who's that with Curly?" Pesky called out. "By Moses, it's a woman!" "It is the Sanderson girl," Weaver said in surprise.
With some internal misgivings I lowered my person into them while he held them in position, and when I had descended as far as I could go without entirely immuring myself, he buttoned the dewdabs at the knees; then he went round behind me and cinched them in abruptly, so that of a sudden they became quite snug at the waistline; the only trouble was that the waistline had moved close up under my armpits, practically eliminating about a foot and a half of me that I had always theretofore regarded as indispensable to the general effect.
