"Perhaps they won't have the money to buy all your things," remarked Cleary, who had been a silent and interested spectator of the interview. "Yes," said Jonas, "we may have trouble with the poorest tribes. We must make them want things, that's all. The best way to begin is to tax them. I've got a plan ready for a hut-tax of five dollars a year.
"It was very good of you, Father. I was coming down to see you in a few minutes." They had shaken hands and the three stood together. The priest glanced in question at Kitty, then back again at Felix. "Does Mrs. Cleary " "Yes, Mrs. Cleary knows," returned Felix calmly. "I have told her everything.
Lieutenant McClure and his officers -Cleary, Binns, and Blaine -were now making an inspection of the Dewey fore and aft. As they returned amidships the boys overheard snatches of the conversation. "Propeller blades free, aren't they?" McClure was asking. "Working free and easy or else the shafts wouldn't turn," Blaine was saying.
"That explains why they couldn't understand the orders there in the Third Brigade, and why I took all day to find San Diego. I wonder if it's true. Why on earth didn't Gomaldo win then? It must have been a close call." "It's plain enough why he didn't win," said Cleary. "That chap Garcia was one of his spies, and a clever one too. He got all he could out of you and me, but that wasn't much.
"What funny pill-boxes those are that those Anglian soldiers have stuck to the side of their heads," he said, pointing to two men at Gin-Sin before they set sail. "Yes," answered Cleary. "They'll put on their helmets when the sun gets higher. They do look queer, tho. Perhaps they think our fellows look queer too." "I never thought of that," said Sam.
As a general rule, the temperature on these mountain creeks, which are at some considerable elevation above the river into which they flow, will read from 10° to 15° higher than on the river, and if one climbed to the top of the peaks around Coldfoot, the difference then would probably be 20° or 25°. At the summit road-house between Fairbanks and Cleary City in the Tanana country in cold weather the thermometer commonly reads 20° above the one place and 10° or 15° above the other.
It was a gay scene, and reminded Cleary of some of the cities of the Mediterranean which he had visited. "They're not quite as much like Apaches as I expected," said Sam, and neither of his friends ventured to respond. "We haven't got time to go out to where the ships are sunk," said Foster, "but if we drive up that hill and get out and walk up a little farther we can see them in the distance.
He will get there one of these days, if a French bullet does not stop him on the way, a contingency that it is needless for me to mention." "I suppose that it is not strictly regular to omit the date of his birth," the colonel said; "but just at present I expect they are not very particular. I suppose that that will do, Mr. Cleary?"
"They're going to have all the military companies and patriotic societies of these parts," answered Reddy, "and then the firemen too of course; but they won't amount to much, for most of them are in the societies, and they'd rather turn out in them." "What societies are there?" said Cleary.
Like Falstaff, however, in this point, though not in wit, Adams has, ever since poor Cowlam's death, had the meanness to claim the honour which belongs to another. Cowlam also rode the white horse, as the 11 emblem of purity," at the epoch of the first chairing; which unlucky animal Mister Cleary has since mounted!
