I don't want anybody up here piking around just because I took a double header into space. And I don't want any doctors from Leeds or Catskill up here, either. Get me?" "If you get to sleep all right and don't have any fever, you won't need any doctor," Tom said; "and I won't go away till you're all right." "You're as white as a snowstorm, Slady," his friend said.
"Say," I leaned over toward him, "wouldn't it have saved wear and tear if you'd told me at the first that you knew Skeels couldn't be Clayte?" "Oh, but, Jerry, you were so sure! And Skeels wasn't possible for a minute never in his little, piking, tin-horn life!" I don't believe I had seen Worth so happy since he was a boy, playing detective.
I had been piking along and while I was giving my little firm entire satisfaction, I was not pleasing myself with what I was doing. Yet, when I first started out I was fool enough to try it and I made several friends among the bigger merchants of Denver. But this did me no harm.
The minority were nothing but a lot of piking gamblers, anyway, who bought or sold for a rise or fall of a few cents. They knew nothing of the property and cared less for its real value.

Oh, he's the Stormy Petrel; he's been piking around over the Fritzies' heads, I s'pose." Evidently Collie, or the Stormy Petrel, was an aviator who had alighted somewhere about the village with some sort of a report. "Collie can't see in the daylight," his neighbor added; "he and the Jersey Snipe have got Fritzie vexed. You going to run between here and the coast?"
If he expected the man to hesitate or raise objections he was disappointed, for Hanson answered readily: "I'll do it. You'll get in easy enough, and I know Beardsley will be glad to have you. Some of our men aint got a thing in the way of guns, and I know you wouldn't mind lending some of yours that you don't need. Well, I must be piking along. I'll be up this afternoon, tell your maw."
Camp on the Job and work straight toward the High Mark. And remember that anybody with less than a Million is a Two-Spot in a soiled Deck." From that day the Piking ceased. No more of the dinky trafficking of the Retailer. He went out and bought Public Service Utilities on Nerve, treated them with Aqua Pura by the Hogshead, and created Wealth by purely lithographic Methods.
"Not exactly that but they thought inferred that you were interested with me and without " Percy's tongue came to a full stop when he saw the old man's face. "Oh! they did, eh! they did, eh!" Ham exploded. "Tried to bust your poor old father, did you! Would like to see him begging his bread, would you, or piking in the bucket-shops for five-dollar bills!
