"Hullo, look at the scarecrow!" called out Ham Spink, as he swept up on an elegant pair of silver-plated hockey skates. "Wonder what cornfield he came from," put in Carl Dudder. "Got any old clo's' to sell!" cried Barney Hedge, imitating a street merchant. Kiddy Leech scowled at the trio and said nothing at first. Then, as Ham Spink threw a snowball at him, he arose and beckoned the boys nearer.
She'd been a fine ship in her time, her cabin bein' fitted up most beautiful wi' lookin' glasses and white-and-gold panels, velvet cushions to the lockers, and a big table o' solid mahogany, to say nothin' of a most handsome sideboard wi' silver-plated fittin' up agin' the fore bulkhead.
This morning she didn't want to help me make the beds!" Mary's Christmas present had been a beautiful silver-plated cornet, and of course she must learn to play it when she went back to the convent. Word came shortly that the music master employed there could not undertake to teach her to play the instrument, but that a "professor" could be secured to go out from Detroit twice a week if desired.
Bobolink was saying, as the three boys continued to walk on abreast, the speaker carrying the silver-plated bugle which he knew how to manipulate so well when the occasion allowed its use. "Why, you see it's this way," Jack went on to explain. "My father knows a man of the name of Professor Hackett, though what he's a professor of you needn't ask me, because I don't know.

I am sure my hot-water plate often saved me from indigestion and made my meals things to enjoy instead of to endure. Two cups and saucers of white enamel ware. They always look clean and do not break. One silver-plated knife and fork and two teaspoons. One folding camp chair. N.B. Provide your husband or brother or sister precisely the same; no more, no less.
"Wall," sez I, "what do all these flowers, and empty carriages, and silver-plated nails, and crape, and so forth what does it all amount to?" "Respect and honor to his memory," sez Cephas, proudly. Sez I, "Such a life as Wellington's had them; no body could take 'em away nor deminish 'em. Such a brave, honest life is crowned with honor and respect any way.
"I was tempted to agree when he looked so bitterly disappointed; then an ugly scowl came over his face, and he broke away and left me; so that opportunity was lost.

Demetrius himself handed the ladies over the side, and salaamed to them as the craft shot off from the flagship. Then the pirates again weighed anchor, the great purple square sail of each of the ships was cast to the piping breeze, the triple tiers of silver-plated oars began to rise and fall in unison to the soft notes of the piper.
Sterilize the jars and utensils; fill the jars with fruit; then pour in enough syrup to fill the jars completely. Run the blade of a silver-plated knife around the inside of the jar and put the covers on loosely.
