"H'm," said the mate thoughtfully; "but will Wenlock be as civil and limp next time you call, sir?" Captain Kettle winked pleasantly, and put a fifty-pound note in his lock-up drawer. "That's all right, my lad. No fear of Master Wenlock getting his tail up. If you'd seen the good lady, his wife, you'd know why. That's the man that went hunting an heiress, Mr.
Two determined looking aeronauts were leaning from the heavily laden car. "Need anything?" shouted the Arrow cordially. "In good shape," answered Ned, "but a little short on provisions."

It paid to get up early those days, also for a man in Sonora, while taking his morning walk, struck his foot against a large stone, and forgot the pain when he saw the stone was nearly all gold. Another man, with good eyes, got a fifty-pound nugget on a trail many people used all the time.
I trembled in my shoes, but my name was never mentioned. It only ended in a fifty-pound fine, and of course I went halves.

Just because Australian wheat has never been shipped into the United States is no reason why it shouldn't be shipped particularly when the price of flour goes up daily. Why, we pay two and a half dollars for the fifty-pound sack of flour that formerly cost us a dollar and a quarter! Eggs are up to seventy cents a dozen by jingo, Cappy, what's going to become of us?" "God knows!"
Why should any one haul canned pemmican hundreds of miles into the greatest game country in the world? We made our own pemmican of the choice parts of this tender, juicy meat and we never lost appetite for it or failed to enjoy and assimilate it. A fifty-pound lard-can, three parts filled with water, was set on the stove and kept supplied with joints of meat.
After a rummage in his pockets, which develops miscellaneous and varied, but as yet by no means valuable possessions, he at last comes to the object of his search, a crumpled bit of paper, and spreads it out a fifty-pound bank-note!
Joe Screech had time for but one glance of terror, and as he jumped the bear swung trap, chain and clog in the air and reached for him with a mighty blow. It was the fifty-pound steel trap that landed upon Joe's head and sent him plunging over the cliff just as Wood's Winchester began to bark.
Guests were seldom entertained; the servants were few, and not well looked after. "She has, I dare say, thirty thousand," William Glazzard was saying, with an air of indifference. "I suppose she'll marry some parson. Let us hope it's one of the fifty-pound curates." "Deep in the old slough?" "Hopelessly or Ivy wouldn't be so thick with her."
