"His face cleared; and he shoved his pistol back. "'Excuse me, Reube, says he. 'Every man that wears that uniform is unfriends with me, with one exception and that's yourself, and he took my hand. "'It's nice to look into a pair of eyes can look back at you, he goes on, very quiet, pumping my hand. 'How are you, old mate? We're quite strangers.
But a little later a Battalion came along the road the other way, going up to be sacrificed on Nad Logem. They halted to rest by the roadside, full of gaiety and courage. They cheered our men on No. 2 gun, who were pumping out shells as fast as they could. "Bravi inglesi!" cried the Italians, and some of our men replied, "Good luck, Johnny!"

"I kept my eyes opened and my ears sharpened when I was on board, and although I didn't understand all their lingo, I knew what they were at.

"How are you, my lord," said the king of finance, fairly meek with gratefulness. "Excellently well, Mr. Blithers," returned the Count. "And you?" "Never better, never better," said Mr. Blithers, again pumping the Count's hand up and down with even greater heartiness than before. "Glad to see you. Isn't it a pleasant day? I was telling Mrs.
I was pulling at a pipe, but the cap'n had the home end of one of Stumpton's cigars harpooned on the little blade of his jackknife, and was busy pumping the last drop of comfort out of it. I never see a man who wanted to get his money's wuth more'n Jonadab, I give you my word, I expected to see him swaller that cigar remnant every minute.
