This locomotive engineer's been doing railway building for half a day; and if ye could do my job as well as I can do yours, Torrance, there'd be no nade o' the two of us. If I had a rowdy, dyed-in-the-wool mob like them under me I'd shoot the lot and have a better stand in with St. Peter than I'm going to have as an engineer.

He could hold his peace and position at home, give renewed attention to those grander projects for the elevation of the down-trodden and the down-treading of the elevated, keep out of Forrest's way, and occupy himself in the cultivation of his new acquaintance Major Cranston, in the enjoyment of the privileges accorded him in Cranston's library, and in the incidental conversion to the true political faith of those dyed-in-the-wool devotees to Cranston's service, iniquitous, feudalistic, slave-like service Elmendorf deemed it, old Sergeant McGrath, his better half, and the nephew.

It's likely, though, that they thought that if they left me the saddle I'd go right out an' rustle me another job an' earn some more coin an' come back an' hand that over, too. But they've got me wrong. Your little Dade Hallowell has swore off. He ain't never goin' to get the idea again that he's a simon-pure, dyed-in-the-wool card sharp." "Another job? Then you're disconnected at present?"

I listened to many speeches and explanations of the prejudice that existed in the mind of the dyed-in-the-wool American against England, and the reason most frequently given was the "school-book" reason; our histories kept the feeling alive.

But I'm comin' back some day. Red Linton an' the boys will be seein' that things go smooth with you. You can depend on Red, and all the boys. They're Simon-pure, dyed-in-the-wool, eighteen-carat men."

One carrier interfered with in the performance of his duty is sufficient excuse for mobilizing a brigade." "But the Governor" Barclay came forward, laid his hand on Cavendish's shoulder, and looked down at him, slowly nodding his head. "The Governor of Alleghenia is a dyed-in-the-wool scoundrel, my good sir," he said.

"Not for mine," replied Dick emphatically, "although the Western teams do it often. Only a few years ago Chicago and Michigan played in what was almost a blizzard." "I'll bet the teams kept warm enough," commented Bert; "but it must have been tough on the spectators." "O, those dyed-in-the-wool football fiends don't care for a little thing like that," said Dick.

I think you'll find, too, that history will have a habit of agreeing with me." "But don't make predictions," said Dick. "There have been no genuine, dyed-in-the-wool prophets since those ancient Hebrews were gathered to their fathers, and that was a mighty long time ago." "There you're wrong, Dick," said Warner, earnestly.

Had they betrayed democracy to the Hun, or were they, as they claimed, leading the way for mankind to a newer and broader kind of democracy? Lacey, of course, believed the former everyone in the American army believed it, and in fact everybody in France, except a few dyed-in-the-wool reds.

A dyed-in-the-wool Zenithite sure loves his neighbors, but we've made up our minds to grab this convention off our neighbor burgs like we've grabbed the condensed-milk business and the paper-box business and " J.
