Her occupation at present was, well, just what he saw. She shrugged her shoulders and said no more. Johnny with his natural generosity tried to press his roll of American money upon her.

Perhaps when the Strait opened up she would come by gasoline schooner to America.
The only fire producer that it is worth while supplementing the sulphur match with is the even older-fashioned flint and steel, which to a man who smokes is a convenience in a wind. All the modern alcohol and gasoline pocket devices are extinguished by the lightest puff of wind, but the tinder, once ignited, burns the fiercer for the blast.
"Bless my gasoline tank!" exclaimed Tom, with a laugh, in imitation of the gentleman Ned Newton had mentioned, "I know that! I'm not worrying over the loss of any friends."
