"It doesn't seem just right for me to go into the game, chum, with you on the side-line," he said. "I don't see what Mills is thinking of! Who in thunder's to kick for us?" "I guess you'll be called on, Paul, if any field-goals are needed." "I suppose so, but hang it, Neil, I wish you were going to play!" "Well, so do I," answered Neil calmly; "but I'm not, and so that settles it.
Orff had sunk down weakly on a bed of asters, and was staring from face to face. "Marm," said Hiram, taking off his plug hat and advancing close to the fence, "Cap'n Sproul and myself don't make it our business to pry into private affairs, or to go around this town saving decent wimmen from Batson Reeves. But we seem to have more or less of it shoved onto us as a side-line. You listen to me!
Count Fosco is the perfect villain, and also the perfect criminal, inasmuch as he not only acts naturally, but deliberately determines the action instead of being drawn into it or having it forced upon him. He was a highly cultivated type of Andy Johnson, inasmuch as crime with him was not a life purpose, but what is called in business a "side-line."
He caught Gale's eye and signaled the captain to the side-line. "What is it?" panted that youth, taking the nose-guard from his mouth and tenderly nursing a swollen lip. Gardiner hesitated. Then "Nothing. Only fight it out, Gale. You've got your chance now!" Gale nodded and trotted back. Gardiner smiled ruefully.
Conklin, who was refereeing, and Mr. Jordan, instructor in mathematics, who was umpiring, had their heads over the rules-book nearly half the time! Now and then they would march to the side-line and consult the Canterbury coach. "Where do you get your authority for that play?" Mr. Conklin would ask a trifle irritably.
Well, that shack wasn't quite what I expected! But I mustn't run ahead of my story, Matilda Anne, so I'll go back to where Dinky-Dunk and I got off the side-line "accommodation" at Buckhorn, with our traps and trunks and hand-bags and suitcases. And these had scarcely been piled on the wooden platform before the station-agent came running up to Duncan with a yellow sheet in his hand.
Having elucidated this little side-line of mystery, the matter passed from the young Commissioner's mind. It happened that morning that his work consisted of dealing with John Lexman's estate. With the disappearance of the couple he had taken over control of their belongings.
Tom Ashley, with the ball clutched tight against his breast, his set face gleaming white in the half-light, sprints down the long barred space toward victory, keeping the distance between himself and the straining pack, running as only one man has ever run for Stanford. And Diemann, tearing along the side-line, knows that Ashley himself never could have done it.
"That would sound a little more impressive, Fectnor," she said, "if I didn't know what brought you to Eagle Pass just now, and how you sweat for the pay you got." This was unfortunately said, for there was malice in it, and a measure of injustice. He heard her calmly. "This election business is only a side-line of mine," he replied. "I enjoy it.
The sense of humour of the speaker was delightful. The whole side-line howled with joy, and the joke was on me. I am always the goat for the gallery in these little jokes, because it is seldom I can refrain from saying something loud enough to be heard. I remember an incident that caused great joy to a large gallery in Philadelphia during a match between two prominent local players.
