They had followed the flat ribbon of sliver from the Carding Machine. At the Drawing Frame six ribbons from the Carder were all brought together into one ribbon and so gained in quality, while losing more impurities during a second severe process of combing out. "And even now it's not ready for spinning," explained Raymond.
Perhaps Barry had come here to look for his quarry and found them not yet arrived; perhaps he was now hunting in other places through the town; perhaps he was even now crouched in the shadow near at hand and ready to attack. It made the hand of Vic Gregg contract with a cruel pressure when it fell on the shoulder of Sliver Waldron. "Now, what in hell!" grunted that hardened warrior.
The poison must have been in the wine, but there's not a tiny sliver of that glass left, nothing but a thousand bits ground into the canvas, too small to hold even a drop of the liquid. Just think, a dried stain of the wine, no matter how tiny, might have served me in a chemical analysis." Very suddenly there was a low exclamation from Mackay. "Look! Quick!
On the face of the wounded man gathered the moisture caused by intense pain. His jaw was clenched to keep back the groans. "Hard sledding, looks like," Curly sympathized. "Reckon I can stand the grief," Stone grunted. Nor did he speak again until they reached the ranch and Laura London looked at him from a frightened face. "What is it?" "Ran a sliver in my finger, Miss Laura.
Put hind and fore quarters into the kettle and parboil until tender. This will take about twenty minutes for young ones and twice as long for the old. When a sharpened sliver will pass easily through the flesh, take the hindquarters from the kettle, drain and place them in the frying pan with pork fat hissing hot. Fry to a light, rich brown. It is the only proper way to cook squirrels.
Wild with apprehension lest my light fail before the necessary work could be accomplished, I drew out the single-bladed knife from my pocket, and began widening this crack. Feverishly as I worked this was slow of accomplishment, yet sliver by sliver the slight aperture grew, until I wedged in the gun barrel, and pried out the plank.

We ate the bananas first, and then the pineapple, which we cut with a sliver of basalt, we were in the stone age, as her tribe was when the whites came, and last the oranges.
Before I had gone far I heard a murmur of voices, and then saw a sliver of light from the jamb of a door. There was a conversation going on in the captain's room, but I could not distinguish the voices. I went on to the forward end of the superstructure and discovered a port-hole in the captain's cabin partly open, and by going up three steps of the bridge-ladder I had a partial view of the room.
"There he goes go on. Mac, you old fool! scared to death, ridin' for his life. And why? Because he believes some ghost stories he's heard about Dan Barry!" "Ghost stories?" echoed Reeve. "Some of 'em ain't fairy tales, Sliver." "Jest name one that ain't!" "Well, the way he trailed Jim Silent. We've all heard of Silent, and Barry was too good for him." "Bah," sneered Sliver. "Too good for Silent?
Vice-President Ford is in Copah, and the new superintendent is with him." Hallock leaned forward in his chair. "Who is the new man?" he asked. "Nobody seems to know him by name. But he is a friend of Ford's all right. That is how he gets the job." Hallock took a plug of black tobacco from his pocket, and cut a small sliver from it for a chew.
