After years of the newspaper habit, reading and writing them, it had fallen away in Tahiti as the prickly heat after a week at sea. Of what interest was it that the divorce record was growing longer in New York, that Hinky Dink had been reëlected in Chicago, and that Los Angeles had doubled in population.
And nothing but plain, unmixed machine-gun fire. As yet there was no artillery action to amount to anything. Once again I put my hand inside my tunic and stroked Dinky and said to him, "For God's sake, Dink, see me through this time." I meant it too. I was actually praying, to my mascot.
Let no man wonder that Lorimer's people do not prefer an efficiency expert, that a Tim Sullivan has power, or that men are loyal to Hinky Dink. The cry raised against these men by the average reformer is a piece of cold, unreal, preposterous idealism compared to the solid warm facts of kindliness, clothes, food and fun. You cannot beat the bosses with the reformer's taboo.
On the day before the start the boys were surprised to see Hans Mueller appear, with a big trunk and a dress-suit case. The German boy came over from Oak Run in a grocery wagon, having been unable to find a cab. "How you all vos?" said he, shaking hands. "I dink first I go py dot Pittsburg und den I dinks me I got lost maybe so I come here." "That's right, Hans," said Dick.

Ulph, for no doubt it was His blessing on our efforts that has made your child better. The disease is such a dangerous one that the best human skill is often in vain." The physician shrugged his shoulders and looked significantly at Mr. Ulph, whose visage wrinkled into an odd grimace. "You may dink vat you please and say vat you please, Miss Schoslin. Men dink different off dese dinks vrom vomans.
I was sure she would take good care of the children and give them the proper surroundings and education until their mother could resume charge of them. I get weekly reports from her and she says they are thriving " "And where does this Cousin Dink live?" "She is in Chicago. She writes me she is devoted to the kids and gives them the greatest care.
"Not even p'licemen?" "Not even policemen! They are my friends and they are your friends, too. Their business is to look after little children." Josie smiled her friendly smile. "Well, Cousin Dink was skeered to death of p'licemen an' she was a great deal bigger'n you." "Was she really? What did she think policemen would do to her?" asked Josie. "Git her!"
"It is those same children who were here yesterday, Miss O'Gorman. They came back this morning without the woman; just walked in announcing they had come to stay and seemed to think we were expecting them. They said the young woman, whom they call Cousin Dink, had sent them. I have tried to question them, but their answers are confused and contradictory.
"Donner und blitzen, you Grasshobber, you my neck brek yet, I dink," roared Schmidt, gazing at the disaster. "Vos iss los mit you, any vay, you bad Grasshobber.
