Course, I'm no cotillion leader, and about all the dancin' I ever done was at chowder parties or in the Coney Island halls; but who couldn't keep step to a tune like "Yip-I-Addy" played by a twelve-piece goulash orchestra, specially with such a crackerjack partner as Miss Vee was? Could we spiel together?
I said, "Alf, you can bet I'd be glad to see you win that cup, but don't forget that there are more than a hundred fellows at the camp. Some of the troops come from the seashore you know that, and they're all crackerjack swimmers. It comes mighty hard to be disappointed, so don't you stay awake at night thinking about it."
Sam flew after the ball with amazing swiftness, his scarecrow garments fluttering and flapping in the air, and caught it with an upward leap that landed him on his back breathless but triumphant. "Say, you're a crackerjack," said Tom; "here's another."
Anyway those niggers of Malu learned the everlasting lesson that it is not good to monkey with a white man. In their case, Saxtorph was certainly inevitable." Charley Roberts emitted a long whistle and said: "Well I should say so. But whatever became of Saxtorph?" "He drifted into seal hunting and became a crackerjack. For six years he was high line of both the Victoria and San Francisco fleets.
Larry's head burrowed out of the tent. "Foxy cooking breakfast," was his cool remark. Then, "Jingo! He's got a fish a regular crackerjack! It's as long as my arm! Ha! there's a breakfast for you!" But Jack was already up and out. "Fine luck I have! Big fish!" smiled Fox-Foot, as fresh and alert as if he had had a night in blankets instead of hours of watchfulness.
Most of them laughed at Skinny, but they all had to admit he was a crackerjack. I knew the Elks were just kind of showing him off and putting him through a lot of freak stunts just to get their name up around the camp. After supper, Westy and I and a new fellow in an Ohio troop were rowing around near the shore. He was an awful nice fellow quiet like just like me, only different.
You remember?" "Yes." "What I am offering you now is your own. You can't strike it out of my hand. It is not mine, but yours." "I won't have it," protested the man. "It's too late. You don't know what I've been, a common thief. 'Crackerjack' is my name. Every policeman and detective in New York knows me."
"Who is this all-round crackerjack you're touting, Dick?" he asked significantly. France was puzzled. "Who is he? Why, he's Steve Fraser." "I ain't asking you what his name is. I'm asking who he is. What does he do for a living? Who recommended him so strong to the boys that they take up with him so sudden?" "I don't care what he does for a living. Likely, he rides the range in Texas.
She's a corker, a crackerjack dead game, grit to her finger-ends, never-say-die, a fighter from the drop of the hat, the one woman for me, true blue and all the rest. Take a look at that." He sprung open his watch, and on the inside cover Smoke saw the small, pasted photograph of a bright-haired woman, framed on either side by the laughing face of a child. "Boys?" he queried.
I knew that Lieutenant Holcomb was a sharp electronics man and that Major Fournet, although no electronics specialist, was a crackerjack engineer, so their opinion meant a lot. Dewey said that everybody in the radar room was convinced that the targets were very probably caused by solid metallic objects.
