Even before the reinforcements under General Nickle appeared, all resistance to the authorities had died away; and, though the Governor at once proclaimed a state of martial law, he was able to recall the proclamation in less than a week. In other districts of the colony the effect was, for a while, doubtful.
Take of nickle 25 parts, zinc 25 parts, copper 50 parts, melt all together, and you have good german silver. Brass is made by melting together a little less than two parts of copper, and one part of zinc. This is for washing cloths with one-half the labour of that with common bar soap. Take 16 lbs.
"Isn't it a lot!" cried Hal, as he saw the pile of copper, nickle and silver coins in the little box they used for a cash drawer. "A big pile," answered Mab. "We'll sell more things to-morrow." "No, I think not," spoke Daddy Blake, coming along just then. "We must not take too much from our garden to sell. But you have done better than I thought you would. Over two dollars!"
So we purchased a sort of an iron range, with a nickle plated knob, and a lock with as many figures on it as a tax list or a lottery advertisement, and placed it where it will strike the visitor on his first entrance. Ah, what an imposing affair it is! As we lean back in a chair and 1ook at it, and close our eyes, we can see millions in it, in our mind. It is a cross between Alex.
"Huh! guess I might as well," grunted the other, as though convinced. "Besides, it's getting on toward eleven, I reckon, and I really ought to be thinking of starting my baking." "You're away off this time, Steve," laughed Jack, who had a little nickle watch along with him, though he seldom carried it on his person, "because right now it is only a quarter to ten."
"But how about the money, Patsy dear?" he asked. "Did you get nothing out of Jane Merrick's estate?" "Not a nickle, Dad. 'Twas the best joke you ever knew. I fought with Aunt Jane like a pirate and it quite won her heart. When she died she left me all she had in the world." "Look at that, now!" said the Major, wonderingly. "Which turned out to be nothing at all," continued Patsy.
There were times when he was even constrained to hope that, by the same Great Influence, a spark of magnanimity had been awakened in Christie's abandoned soul; and once, when Eliza reported that her "pa" had given her a nickle, he almost believed that those seemingly ineffective words of his had, thanks to that same all-powerful intervention, made an impression.
We can call for Peaches on the way across town," was Bunch's program. "Whisper, Bunch!" I suggested; "let's do the selfish gag for once and leave the wives at home. I haven't bet a nickle on a skate for two years, but my little black man has the steering wheel to-day and I'm going to fall off the sense wagon and break a five dollar bill."
"I'm plumb busted," said he frankly, "and that's the reason I couldn't chip in. I couldn't buy fleas for a dawg. I'm afraid you didn't win much." The preacher looked gloomily at a nickle and a ten-cent piece. "Dependin' on this sort of thing to get along?" asked California John. "Yes," said the preacher. The woman looked out of the window.
I want to make money, and I want to make it honestly. I will clean that entire sign for a nickle." It was pity that moved him to give me the job, and when it was completed, I offered to do the other one. "All right," he said; "go ahead." "But this one," I said, "will cost you a dime." "Why a nickle for this one and a dime for the other?" he asked. "Well," I said, "we are just entering business.
