And I s'pose that if some o' th' hands on th' Old Colony happened t' ketch up with me dressed this way they'd think I'd gone crazy. But I haven't got anything t' say against these little night-shirts except about their looks. When you get right down t' th' hard-pan with 'em, they're a first-rate thing."
It was as well that they did not know, for the stream, like many of its kind in the dry parts of the West, ran for the greater part of its course underground, showing only here and there in a pool, where, beneath the sand, there was the hard-pan through which the water could not seep. They had left the town behind them at a lope.
This could be seen in the warm months, but now, not a snail of the countless millions can be seen. They have gone down in search of "hard-pan," there to hibernate until next April. Cent. Prairie dogs feel the effect of temperature as low as this. In Cuba reptiles hibernate between 7 deg. and 24 deg. Cent., according to the species.
Of the pulse-beats that lie within and vitalize this Commonweal to-day of the hard-pan purports and idiosyncrasies pursued faithfully and triumphantly by its bulk of men North and South, generation after generation, superficially unconscious of their own aims, yet none the less pressing onward with deathless intuition those coteries do not furnish the faintest scintilla.
The masonry was inserted into the flank of each mountain until the granite or the hard-pan was reached, so that the water had absolutely no outlet at the sides. This dam was finished by the middle of August. At the same time Gerard was preparing three canals in the principal valleys, and none of these works came up to his estimated costs. The chateau farm could now be finished.
Well, how did you like it? Did you get your money's worth?" I hesitated a moment and then answered: "It was clever, of course. Anything that you write would be sure to be that. But it didn't appear to get down to hard-pan or to take a firm grip on life did it?" "Ah, that's what the critics said, only they've got a set of phrases for expressing it.
Grass should never be allowed to grow within four feet of a large tree, and the soil should be kept loose to admit air to the roots. Trees in orchards should be twenty-five feet apart. The soil under the top soil has much to do with the health of the trees. If it be what is called hard-pan, the trees will deteriorate. Trees need to be manured and to have the soil kept open and free from weeds.
"Don't mind his little ways, Brother Ware," he urged in a loud, unctuous whisper, with a grinning backward nod: "he's a trifle skittish sometimes when you don't give him free rein; but he's all wool an' a yard wide when it comes to right-down hard-pan religion. My love to Sister Ware;" and he followed the senior trustee into the hall. Mr. Gorringe had been tying up his books and papers.
As for Grierson, it seems to me that's a matter of giving a dog a bad name. Just because his people weren't known here, and because he has worked up from small beginnings. To get down to hard-pan, you fellows don't believe in democracy, in giving every man a chance to show what's in him." "Democracy is good!" exclaimed Perry.
So let's get right down to hard-pan. Have they have they really cleaned you out?" "To the last dollar," he replied, without looking up. "What did it?" I asked, remaining stubbornly and persistently ox-like in my placidity. "No one thing did it, Chaddie, except that I tried to bite off too much. And for the last two years, of course, the boom's been flattening out.
