That is why they are not so strong as men. The men he made better; so that they were strong. The women were the smartest. They knew the most. They were the first to make piskuns, and to know how to tan hides and to make moccasins. At that time men wore moccasins made from the shank of the buffalo's leg, and robes made of wolfskin. This was all their clothing.
"Yes, sir," said Shank, rudely interrupting, "and I came here not so much to hear what you have to say about my outbreak as you are pleased to style a little jollification as to tell you that you had better provide yourself with another clerk, for I don't intend to return to your office. I've got a better situation." "Oh, indeed!" exclaimed Crossley in surprise.
"It never occurred to me before that he prayed at all! The old humbug has more need to pray for himself!" Taking his way to the railway station Shank Leather found himself ere long at his mother's door. He entered without knocking. "Shank!" exclaimed Mrs Leather and May in the same breath.

Mary felt very indignant at hearing Ned thus designated, but she repressed her rising anger, pitying the forlorn old man, and smiling, said, "You will find you are mistaken in regard to Ned, Mr Shank; he is outside, and I must not keep him waiting longer.

Saw off shank and hip bones neatly, and cut the meat smooth, removing any tags and jags, then pack down in an agate or clean wooden vessel that has been scalded, then chilled. Half cover with a marinade thus proportioned.

If they keep on that way they'll draw Lem Daggett here, if he isn't already snooping around." Meanwhile Jerry had found a scrap of paper and a pencil. He hurriedly wrote a few lines upon the paper. Then he produced a heavy bow and a long arrow. The message he tied around the shank of the arrow. "Oh! can you shoot with that?" cried Ruth, much interested. "Reckon so," grinned Jerry.
