To represent the resistance made by the capillaries to the flow of blood, slip the large end of a common glass medicine-dropper into the outer end of the rubber tube. This dropper has one end tapered to a fine point. Place the syringe flat, without kinks or bends, on a desk or table. Press the bulb slowly and regularly.
He grabbed his shoes, jammed his foot into one, scowled and exclaimed disgustedly, "What the deuce! there's something in this shoe. Bah," he went on, "and in this one, too!" "Take them off and shake 'em," suggested the dropper of the gum. "No time," growled the victim; "I'll get docked if I'm a second late. But these confounded things feel damp in the heels," and he kicked and stamped viciously.
"I put that dropper in the medicine closet," she said, and every one looked toward her. "Where did you get it?" asked Shane. "I found it on the floor." "On the floor? Where?" "Beside Miss Ames' bed." The girl's eyes were cast down; she looked at nobody, but gave her answers in a dull, sing-song way, almost as if she had rehearsed them before. "When?" "This morning when I made up her room."
Suddenly there was a tremendous splash, just beyond the dropper, answered by a turn of the white wrist, and then the reel fairly shrieked as the line melted away like a thread of smoke. Gethryn's eyes glittered with excitement, and the colonel took his cigar out of his mouth. But they didn't shout, "You have him! Go easy on him! Want any help!" They kept quiet.
Ike the Dropper may have once been a strong-arm man, but at present I knew that he was chiefly noted for the fact, and he and his kind were reputed to be living on the earnings of women to whom they were supposed to afford "protection." I reflected on the passing glories of brutality which had sunk so low. There were noise and life a plenty here.
"Someone has just entered the room." "Who is it?" I whispered eagerly. "A man. I can't see his face. His back is toward me, but there is something familiar about him. There he is turning around. For Heaven's sake it's Ike the Dropper!" We had already recounted to Miss Kendall our experiences in following Dr. Harris to the black and tan joint and the meeting with Ike the Dropper.
The line swished and whistled, and the whole cast, hand fly, dropper and stretcher settled down lightly on the water. He noticed the easy motion of the wrist, the boyish pose of the slender figure, the serious sweet face, half shaded by the soft woolen Tam. Swish h h! Swish h h! She slowly spun out forty feet, glancing back at Gethryn with a little laugh.
"Then Ike the Dropper is the collector for the police or the politicians higher up," she exclaimed under her breath. "If we learned nothing more, that would be enough. It would tell us whom to watch." Hastily we took turns at getting a good look at Ike through the wonderful little detectascope. Then Kennedy resumed his watch, whispering now and then what he saw.
"I don't care a rap about laws such as yours. As for gangs that was what you were going to say I'd snap my fingers in the face of Ike the Dropper himself if he were here. You could kill me, but I would tell the truth.
She dropped everything she was carrying, and she was carrying a great deal, a butterfly- net, and a mouse-trap, and three books, and a bandbox, and everybody seemed to think that the best joke of all. One called her medicine dropper, and another drop-cake, and another dropped egg, and so on; and away they all went into the house, laughing and shouting and tumbling over each other.
