"Two things, great and difficult as they may be, are a man's duty and may establish his fame. "There is a sight as fine and not less salutary than that of a virtuous man at grips with adversity; it is the sight of a virtuous man at the head of a good cause and securing its triumph.
"The sheriff!" yelled someone in the crowd. "It's Turner, the sheriff!" "Yes, it's Turner, the sheriff," and the man tightened his grips on Thure's and Bud's collars. "Hands off. They are my prisoners now," and he turned a bit impatiently to the men, whose hands still had hold of the boys. "Well, what have they done?" "Murder!" "Murder!" yelled a dozen voices from the crowd.
"Will you try grips with me?" cried Storri loudly. "Will you shake hands Russian fashion?" "No," retorted Richard, all ice and unconcern. "I will not shake your hand Russian fashion." Storri broke into an evil grin that made him look like a black panther. "Some day you must put your fingers into that trap," said he, opening and closing his broad hand.
Lanyard found his perch comfortable enough. A broad band of webbing furnished support for his back; another crossed his chest by way of provision against forward pitching; there were rests for his feet, and for his hands cloth-wound grips fixed to struts on either side. He smiled at Lucy across the empty seat, and was surprised at the clearness with which her answering smile was visible.

I could stand that, but I've a boy of my own who's preparin' for Wayne, and my heart is set on seein' him enter and he said he never will if they let me go. So, you youngsters and me we've much to gain. Go to your rooms now and think, think as you never did before, until the spirit of this thing, the possibility of it, grips you as it has me."

But to come to grips with reality, Germany in all ways, it must be admitted, cannot give more than two milliards a year, if, indeed, it is desired that an indemnity be paid.
As the loosened head emerges from the bale-opener, Figs. 8 or 9, it is placed over the operative's arm with the ends of the head hanging, and by a sort of intuition acquired by great experience, she or he grips the correct amount of fibre between the fingers, and by a dexterous movement, and a simultaneous shake of the whole piece, the handful just comes clear of the bulk and in much less time than it takes to describe the operation.
