I've imagined this happenin' so many times an' woke up to find 'twas only imaginin's." The blue eyes softened into mistiness. "To think of gettin' a patent! To think of it! Celestina will be glad. I'm afraid, by an' large, I've bothered her quite considerable with my strings, an' spools, an' tacks, an' such. She'll like to know some of 'em went for somethin', after all.
But when robbed of all these he could generally secrete a piece of elastic, which, when put between his teeth and stretched to its utmost capacity, would yield a delightful twang when played upon with the forefinger. He could also fashion an interesting musical instrument in his desk by means of spools and catgut and bits of broken glass.
The threads that are to be used for the "weft" or "filling" go directly into the shuttles of the weavers after being spun; but those which are to be used for "warp" are wound first on spools, then on beams to go into the loom. Little children weave together strips of paper, straws, and splints, "over one, under one," and the weaving of plain cotton cloth is in principle nothing more than this.
The canoe birch is a tree which was treasured by the early Indians because it yielded bark for making canoes. Birch wood is used in making shoe lasts and pegs because of its strength and light weight, and the millions of spools on which cotton is wound are made of birch wood. School desks and church furniture, also, are made of birch.
The boxes were broken, the spools spilled all over—pawing was again in season. Not yet quite so much dust, but soon even the dust would be as of yore. “One cause of labor unrest is undoubtedly the fact that the workers are aware that present management of industry is not always 100 per cent efficient.” So then, I framed up. Nor was it merely that I worked under difficulties as to space.
There was a mess of every-colored spool, mixed with every other color, tangled ends, dust, buttons, loose snappers, more dust, beads, more spools, more dust. A certain color was wanted by a stitcher. There was nothing to do but paw. The spool, like as not, would be so dusty it would take blowings and wipings on your skirt before it could be discovered whether the color was blue or black.
So no more cracks about Roger." "I can take care of myself, Astro," said Roger. "Here, take the spools and get back to your dorm," growled Tom. He handed the pile of spools over, but as Tony extended his hands, one of the spools dropped to the grass. No one made a move to pick it up. "There are the spools," said Tom icily. "Now beat it."
Ed Bush and several colonists suddenly appeared and Sykes whirled around to face them. "Well! What do you want?" he demanded. "Governor Vidac said we could pick up some of the spools that were ready," said Bush. "Well, there isn't anything ready now," growled Sykes. "When I'm finished, I'll let Vidac know." He turned back to Roger. "Well, Manning? What have you got to say for yourself?"
Aunt Sarah had turned a big long attic room into a sewing school where Nan and Mildred had full charge. Flossie was to look after the spools of thread, keeping them from tangling up, and the girls agreed to let Freddie cut paper patterns. This was not a play sewing school but a real one, for Aunt Sarah and Mrs.
"I don't think you can, Manning," replied the angry cadet. Tom stepped between them quickly. "Listen, fellows, we don't want any trouble. Here are the spools." He held them out. "That's what I mean, Corbett," said McAvoy sarcastically. "Manning gets you in trouble and then you and the big boy have to bail him out." "We've apologized," retorted Astro angrily. "You're getting the spools back.
