He's too elusive the devil-sent " He was proceeding to further particulars when Mitchell checked him. "I want you to bear in mind that this is no strong-arm gang, and I'm neither dip nor climber." His emphasis was withering. "My credit is involved in this affair now, and I'm going through with it. If he'd had the dough with him he'd handed it out just like he did the check.
It seemed as though this simple tiding took the breath from Denver. "Ah!" he nodded at length. "You playing up a new line. No strong-arm stuff except when you got to use it. Going to try scratching, kid? Is that it, or some other kind of slick stuff?" "I mean what I say, Denver. I'm going straight." The yegg shook his head, bewildered. "Say," he burst out suddenly, "ain't you Black Jack's kid?"
In other words, no strong-arm work; do you understand?" The man mumbled and growled something. "Nonsense, Mex," interrupted Krafft sharply. "Do as I say. "It's a matter of a tidy sum," blurted out Mex at last. Krafft laughed. "You see, you were already marked for the slaughter," he told Keith; then to Mex: "Well, you let him alone; he's my friend." "All right, if you say so," growled the man.
For right-hearted people, a little law is quite sufficient; and the best people need none at all! But the game-hogs are different. For them, the strict letter of the law, backed up by a strong-arm squad, is the only controlling influence that they recognize. To them it is necessary to say: "You shall!" and "You shall not!"
"Well, I'm glad you both feel that way about it," said Elise; "of course you know the girl better than I do, as I've never even seen her! but if she's such a strong-arm, I think I'm rather afraid of her!" "Oh, I imagine you can hold your own against her!" laughed Patty, happy now, since Bill's reassurance of her darling's safety. "All the same, I wish Zaly would come home! It's after six!
You told me the other day," he went on, "you could break in anybody who'd stick. You showed me just the kind of work there is to do. These men I'll guarantee will stick and I think you'll get quite a jolt when you see what they've been taught to do. They're not all cripples. I've got some huskies for the strong-arm stuff. And there is a lot the other fellows can do. I want you to show them how.
"And who's this gumshoe guy from the bush league tailin' us? Breeze on and wise Annie if this here business is so important." Clay told his story. "Some of Jerry's strong-arm work," she commented. "Must be. Can you help me?" Annie looked straight at him, a humorous little quirk to her mouth. "Say, what're you askin' me to do t'row down my steady?"
France now had nearly 100,000 men in Syria and Cilicia, headed by General Gouraud, a veteran of many colonial wars and a believer in "strong-arm" methods. On July 15 Gouraud sent Feisal an ultimatum requiring complete submission. Feisal, diplomatic to the last, actually accepted the ultimatum, but Gouraud ignored this acceptance on a technicality and struck for Damascus with 60,000 men.
The old family feuds broke out with new fury. In vain the aged Roderick emerged from his convent, and sought with feeble hand to curb the fiery passions of his tribe; in vain the Archbishops of Armagh and of Tuam interposed their spiritual authority, A series of fratricidal contests, for which history has no memory and no heart, were fought out between the warring branches of the family during the last ten years of the century, until by virtue of the strong-arm, Cathal Crovdearg, son of Turlogh More, and younger brother of Roderick, assumed the sovereignty of Connaught about the year 1200.
His death means that 'Slim' Gray, Cummings' right-hand man, and his two strong-arm men now under arrest, will be charged with murder and that a murder complaint will be issued against Cummings." They were silent as they wove their way through the hurrying streams of men and women in Fifth street homeward bound after the work of the day in downtown stores and offices.
