"Well, at least you can go on and tell me," I said. "Certainly. There are cranks of all degrees, as you know. It was your luck to fall into the hands of one of the king-pins of the confraternity Dr. Ferdinand Gonzales, alias Moses the Second. "He wanted a new subject for his experiments upon the physical regeneration of the human race, and he caught you in his drag-net.
At la Roquette two hundred and twenty-seven miserable wretches, gathered in here and there by the drag-net of the police, were collected in a huddle, and the soldiers fired volley after volley into the mass of human beings until there was no further sign of life.
"So I'll lay them aside while I scrub." Marjorie had never had any goldfish, and knew nothing about them, so with no thought save to handle them gently, she took them out of the water, and laid them on the table in the sunlight. She caught them by the simple process of using her handkerchief as a drag-net, and with great care, laid them softly down on the felt table-cover.
The Nation has lately been renewing its affectionate memories of a man who died in his effort to hold on, with or without their consent, to the States we already have on this continent, but who never dreamed of casting a drag-net over the world's archipelagos for more. Do we remember his birthday and forget his words?
How is it gathered? We must confess that it is gathered very much by chance. A drag-net is thrown out, and whatever comes is taken. An examination into the process of collecting shows what sort of news we are likely to get, and that nine-tenths of that printed is collected without much intelligence exercised in selection.
The drag-net from below would be thrown out from the old winter corral; but as an hour's sun on the cattle rendered them lazy, half the horsemen halted until the other sighted the grove above.
Have to extend that fifteen days! Just the same, that information bureau saw us leave under power!" I sowed them all along up there. Take a drag-net. We awoke with light hearts on the second morning of the voyage. All about us was the sacred silence of the wilderness dawn. The coming sun had smitten the chill night air into a ghostly fog that lay upon the valley like a fairy lake.
There was mockery in the voice of Jael. "Yea, of such fish as thou art." "Call me not a fish," Jael retorted angrily. "Because thou hast a following and I yet toil, dost thou call me fish!" "Take no offense, Jael," the Rabbi said kindly. "Such fish as thou are Sons of God not yet caught in the drag-net of His calling. Go with me into the deeper waters and thou shalt learn."
Here and there, scattered along the way, are souls who have escaped the "drag-net" of theology, but there are at this present moment great spirits that, even after having passed through death's dark crucible, are haunted by damning fears of bad results possible from too much freedom. The trail of the serpent is felt by them still.
"I'll get busy with the drag-net; we'll land Brainard this time," said Barlow. And then with a grim look at Barney: "But Larry Brainard's not what I got you up here to talk about, Palmer. I wanted to talk about two words to you and say 'em to you right between your eyes." "Go ahead, Chief." "First, you ain't been worth a damn to me for several months.
