His work finished, the old man proceeded to carefully fill the empty loops of his cartridge belt and there was a grim determination on his handsome hard old face as he spun the cylinder of his ".45" to test its perfect action. Up at the hotel an ambuscade was laid into which Douglass walked unwittingly.
For the first quarter of an hour or twenty minutes the work went well the mysterious twists, and turns, and darts, and loops were all made with fidelity and exactitude the lovely crinkled ornament stood out boldly on the delicate cambric. Grannie looked at her work with intense pride and happiness. "It's a fortin' I do wish that gel would learn it.
