But a friend, to my mind, is one you can deal with on a strict reciprocity basis like me and George have always done. "A good many years ago, him and me was connected in a number of ways. We put our capital together and run a line of freight wagons in New Mexico, and we mined some and gambled a few.
"Aha!" sounded a voice like a trombone at the reader's elbow. "I am just in the nick of time. When, colonel, when?" "At five this evening, Colonel Raynal." "There," said Raynal, in a half-whisper, to Dujardin; "could they choose no hour but that?" "Do not be uneasy," replied Dujardin, under his breath. He explained aloud "the assault will not take place, gentlemen; the bastion is mined."
So, before they arrive, we must give the people of the Three Towns a real titbit of excitement. Battle-cruisers come to dock in Devonport quite often when they are damaged. Two battle-cruisers which had been mined or submarined, one towing the other, would be a pretty picture in the Sound.
Lutheranism had spread from North Germany along the Rhine, it was now pushing fast into the hereditary possessions of the Austrian House, it had all but mastered the Low Countries. France itself was mined with heresy; and were Charles once to give way, the whole continent would be lost to Rome. Amidst difficulties such as these the Papal court saw no course open save one of delay.

Kaolin is shipped out in considerable quantities.
He was perhaps thirty-six, had been "in" ten years, and had mined before that in Idaho. Under his striped parki he was dressed in spotted deer-skin, wore white deer-skin mucklucks, Arctic cap, and moose mittens. Pinned on his inner shirt was the badge of the Yukon Order of Pioneers a footrule bent like the letter A above a scroll of leaves, and in the angle two linked O's over Y. P.
But there was not much excitement or crowding on the Ostende steamer or any of those sensational precautions against being torpedoed or mined, which soon afterwards oppressed the spirits of cross-Channel passengers.
"What does he mean to do without a bullet?" muttered Shandon between his teeth. "We shall soon see," answered the doctor. "Ready, captain!" called out Wolsten. "All right!" replied Hatteras. "Brunton!" he called out to the engineer, "a few turns ahead." Brunton opened the sliders, and the screw being put in movement, the Forward neared the mined mountain.
"Father told Tom and me, while on Top Notch, that he really had no personal objections to having the stones mined from Rainbow Cliffs, but all unsightly machinery and the riff-raff of miners that would be necessary in such work, must be kept out of sight of the house.
