He ran into trouble with it and sweated and swore for an hour, while Timmy sat and read and I kept peeking in the hall mirror that lets you see into the front room from the kitchen. After a while Jerry left the room to look for some tables he wanted and Timmy slipped over and looked at his work, made a single notation, then dived back to his book as Jerry returned.

He probably had been hit square in the head while aiming, or peeking around the tree. I stared at his body, perfectly horrified! Only a few seconds ago that man was alive and well, and now he was lying on the ground, done for, forever! The event came nearer completely upsetting me than anything else that occurred during the entire battle but I got used to such incidents in the course of the day.

Usually an easy-going man, when he was aroused he was determined to extremes. Into Content's room he marched, Sally following. Neither of them saw their small son Jim peeking around his door. He had heard he could not help it the conversation earlier in the day between Content and his mother. He had also heard other things.

Maybe the letter will tell who the pouch belongs to." "But we can't read other people's letters," objected Georgina. "Well, who wants to? It won't be reading it just to look at the head and tail, will it?" "No," admitted Georgina, hesitatingly. "Though it does seem like peeking."

The Kanakas have a powerful dread of spirits, and even in the daytime they'd give the place a wide berth. The walls, too, being about seven feet high, prevented the children from peeking in, except at the gateway, which was so narrow that it was easy to get out of view.

Over them the squirrel, which had whisked up a tree at the first alarm, was peeking with evil eyes over the edge of a limb, snickering at the blood-stained snow and the dead cat, scolding, barking, threatening the owl for having disturbed the search for his stolen walnuts. I caught that same owl soon after in a peculiar way. A farmer near by told me that an owl was taking his chickens regularly.

"War party escaped and saved their scalps," and Sam placidly laid the axe in its usual place. "Nothing lost but honour," added Yan. "Who's the kid?" "Oh, that's Guy Burns. I know him. He's a mean little cuss, always sneaking and peeking. Lies like sixty. Got the prize a big scrubbing-brush for being the dirtiest boy in school. We all voted, and the teacher gave it to him."

But if we keep doing it here, all the kids and townspeople will be peeking over the fence to see how nuts we've gone." This was soon literally true. In some embarrassment, the Bunch rolled up their bubb and lugged it into the shop. "I can borrow a construction compressor unit on a truck," Two-and-Two offered. "And there's a farm I know..."

Cash fried his bacon, made his tea, and set the table for his midday meal. Bud waited for the baby to wake, looking at his watch every minute or two, and making frequent cautious trips to the bunk, peeking and peering to see if the child was all right. It seemed unnatural that it should sleep so long in the daytime. No telling what that squaw had done to it; she might have doped it or something.

"By God!" says he, "the devil has swiped my gun!"... Now if that's true there is going to be hell to pay in this vessel very quick I figure I'm still master of this vessel."
