He had determined to say a thing or two before he went away, and it would be advantageous to consolidate his position. He had had five or six hours of cross-country travel, with some tedious waits at junctions, and at about ten o'clock, after some showy converse, he acknowledged himself tired enough for bed. Cope saw him up, and did not come down again.
Luxury and indolence travel on the downward road of degeneracy. They may make pleasant temporary indulgence, but are fatal to ultimate success. Locomotion on a ranch consists almost entirely of horseback riding as walking is too slow and tiresome and wheeled conveyance is often inconvenient or impossible for cross-country driving.
'Twould be a thankless task to take you with us stage by stage on our cross-country gallop to advertise General Greene of the victory at the cow pastures.
Manuel is tickled and says what does Herman think of paying him? Herman shows up his month's pay and says how would it suit Manuel if they go in to Reno that night and spend every cent of this money in all the lovely ways which could be thought up by a Mexican sheep herder that had just come in from a six weeks' cross-country tour with two thousand of the horrible animals.
When undertaking cross-country flights over strange land an airman finds his way by a specially-prepared map which is spread out before him in an aluminium map case. From the illustration here given of an aviator's map, you will see that it differs in many respects from the ordinary map.

"Ye-es?" murmured Ashton, his ardent eyes on the girl. "Miss er Chuckie, it is superfluous to remark that I shall vastly enjoy a cross-country ride with you." "Oh, really!" she replied. Heedless of her ironical tone, he turned a supercilious glance on Knowles. "Yes, and at the same time your papa and his hired man can take advantage of the opportunity to deliver my veal."
The triangles were two cross-country flights of two hundred kilometres each, three landings to be made en route, and each flight to be completed within forty-eight hours. In addition, there were two short voyages of sixty kilometres each these preceded the triangular tests and an hour of flight at a minimum altitude of sixty-five hundred feet.
I left Peking at the close of 1889, and there being then no railway the ninety miles' journey to Tientsin had to be performed either on horseback, by cart along cross-country tracks or via the River Peiho, taking boat at Tungchow, which is fourteen miles from the capital. I decided on going by boat as being far more comfortable than the other alternatives.
I say, I wonder Welch doesn't try his hand at the mile. I believe he would do some rattling times if he'd only try. 'Why, Welch is a sprinter. 'I know. But I believe for all that that the mile's his distance. He's always well up in the cross-country runs. 'Anyhow, he's not in for it this year. Thomson's my man. It'll be a near thing, though. 'Jolly near thing. With Drake in front. 'Thomson.
For Occam's sake, be specific! Bring me together two of these hypothetical individuals and tell me what happens." Brion took a deep breath. He was in over his head and far from shore. "Well take a bachelor like myself. Since I like cross-country skiing I make my home in this big house our family has, right at the edge of the Broken Hills.
