He's some sort of subassistant auditor with a salary of eighteen per. You know the kind one of these deadwood specimens that stand a show of gettin' the prunin' hook every time there's a shake-up. Most every office has a few of 'em, hangin on like last year's oak leaves in the park; but it ain't often they can qualify as comic supplements. Not that Uncle Dudley tries to be humorous.

Real estate was real estate, say what you would; and it might be that the violent shake-up in the family plans had made the immediate future of the business a somewhat concrete issue. He said, guardedly perhaps: "To-night? let's see.... Well, not that I think of just now." But Cally merely wanted to propose a table of bridge in the library, he and she against a third and fourth.

They hinted, too, that the approaching annual election might bring a general shake-up; English might find himself supplanted by some other man more in touch with the local life and with that of the tributary territory; and Gowdy well, Gowdy might be asked to resign, for there were plenty of citizens who would make quite as good a trustee as he had been.

He knew that he was still alive. More he could not say. The mists of sleep, which still shrouded his brain, and the shake-up he had had from his encounter with the table, a corner of which he had rammed with the top of his head, combined to produce a dreamlike state.

A number of congressmen and senators among our stockholders were prominent in the ascendant party, and once the new régime took charge, a general shake-up of affairs in and around Fort Reno was promised.

Tell us now, and you shall be down and go to sleep. I have done it myself all through one day just for the pleasure of it. It's a little tiring for you to have to shout a good deal now, and sometimes give the cursed Englishman a good shake-up. He has had five days of it, and not one wink of sleep during that time not one single minute of rest and he only gets enough food to keep him alive.

I look for nothing else than considerable of a shake-up along the Mississippi... what with lynchers and regulators a man will have to show a clean bill of health to be allowed to live, no matter what his color just being white won't help him any!" "No, you're right, it won't!" and again Hues gave way to easy laughter. "When you've done your work you strike south as I tell you and join me.

Taking him to the cemetery, even, never gave him a colour; a nice shake-up in the bus never improved his appetite. But he was gran's boy from the first... "Whose boy are you?" said old Ma Parker, straightening up from the stove and going over to the smudgy window.

My nerves had hardly grown quiet after this affair when they got another shake-up one which utterly unmanned me for a moment: a rumor swept suddenly through the camp that one of the barkeepers had fallen over a precipice! However, it turned out that it was only a chaplain.

By the time supper was over that evening, the stock of the Brimfield Football Team had risen to close to par, and anyone who had had the temerity to even suggest the possibility of a victory for Claflin would have been promptly and efficaciously squelched! The Chambers game resulted in a shake-up.
