"Well blown and clearly," said the yeoman; "beshrew me an thou knowest not as much of woodcraft as of war! thou hast been a striker of deer in thy day, I warrant. Comrades, mark these three mots it is the call of the Knight of the Fetterlock; and he who hears it, and hastens not to serve him at his need, I will have him scourged out of our band with his own bowstring."
If you have any doubts, pray do not hesitate to express them." Striker was boisterously reassuring. "I don't doubt you fer a second, Mr. Gwynne. As I said before, the whole county has been expectin' you to turn up. We heerd a few days back that you was in Crawfordsville.
But work was not resumed that day, despite the fact that Big George, bruised, ragged, and torn, doubled his force of pickets and took personal charge of them. That night, under glaring headlines, the evening papers told the story, reporting one fisherman fatally hurt, one striker dead of a gunshot wound, and many others injured.
"Then, you must have lived in these parts longer than I have suspected," said he. "I should have said you were a newcomer." Mrs. Striker made a great clatter of pans and skillets at the stove. The girl waited until this kindly noise subsided. "I have lived in this neighbourhood since I was eight years old," she said, quietly.

If the striker claimed too much he resigns his stick to the one who has the next turn. If it is found that the striker did not claim too much, the number is placed to his credit and the game proceeds.
The striker talked with the mud-clerk, but watched the throng of passengers who drank with each other at the bar, smoked in the "social hall," read and wrote at the tables in the gentlemen's cabin, or sat with doffed hats and chatted gallantly in the ladies' cabin, which was visible as a distant background, seen over a long row of tables with green covers and under a long row of gilded wooden stalactites, which were intended to be ornamental.
Such is the account of one of the seven hundred arrests made during the shirt-waist strike, the chronicle of a peaceful striker. As the weeks went on, however, in spite of the advice of the Union officers, there were a few instances of violence on the part of the Union members.
A terrific blow struck the doctor in the breast, but the arm that struck it fell powerless before it could be repeated and the striker lurched forward on the dashboard in the utter limpness of complete insensibility.
