"They that live under the path of the sun are not soft," he says, smoking his pipe and watching the day-shift take itself off and the night-shift go on. "For the sun enters into their blood and burns them with a great fire till they are filled with lusts and passions. They burn always, so that they may not know when they are beaten.
Just before Sundown was called to take his turn with the night-shift, a lean, brown shape tore through the camp, upsetting a pot of frijoles and otherwise disturbing the peace and order of the culinary department. "Coyote!" shouted Wingle, vainly reaching for the gun that he had given to Sundown. "Coyote nothin'!" said a puncher, laughing. "It's the Killer come back hot-foot to find his pardner."
Why, Nonie darlin', fwhat are ye doin' out av your mother's bed at this time? The two-year-old child of Sergeant M'Taggart must have wandered for a breath of cool air to the very verge of the parapet of the Fort ditch.

The last two years, when I've been on the night-shift, I have gone in and helped him a bit pretty often in the day, so as to get to know something about an engine, and to be able to do a job of smith's work; anyhow, he thinks I can get a berth as a striker or something of that sort.

"Jack Simpson, sir. I work below, but when it's my night-shift Mr. Williams allows me to help him here by day." "Ah! I remember you now," Mr. Brook said. "Let me see what you are doing. That's a creditable piece of work for a working collier, is it not?" he said, holding up a beautifully executed plan. Mr.
