The fierce old mother lynx would presently be back; they would let her know of the intruder in some way; and they would all keep close in the den. I found a place, some dozen yards above, where it would be possible to watch them, marked the spot by a blasted stub, to which I made a compass of broken twigs; and then went back to camp.
Captain Dinshaw went into the cabin, and looking down, Trask could see him bent over the table, sucking a stub of a pencil and studying a sheet of paper. "What's the bearin' and distance of Point Luzon?" he called up the companion. Jarrow looked at Locke and smiled. "Northwest, five miles," called Jarrow, after a look at the compass and the land. "What course ye steerin'?" "Nor'wes'bywes'."
I didn't see him pass any uh the vile liquor to little Jakie, but " he twirled a blackened match stub in his fingers and then tossed it from him. "Aw, gwan! Jakie wouldn't touch nothing when he was in town," Happy Jack objected. "I betche he's gone crazy, or else " "Well," interrupted the horse-wrangler, "I've told yuh what I know and all I know.

"This box is just as comfortable as that one," said Jack, "and you needn't worry but what I'll tell the truth!" He took a last pull at his cigarette, pinched out the fire, and ground the stub under his heel.
These pieces are then wrapped in a larger section of leaf. When finished for the pipe the tobacco resembles a short stub of a cigar. Only half a dozen whiffs are generally taken at a smoke, and the pipe with its tobacco is then tucked under the edge of the pocket hat.

Smith walked away, and Mr. Merrick drew a long breath of relief.
What's that? Don't you know who he was?" "No, we do not. The name upon the stub of the transfer book has been scratched out." Captain Elisha looked the speaker in the face, then slowly turned his look upon the other two faces. "Scratched out?" he repeated. "Who scratched it out?" Graves shrugged his shoulders. "Yes, yes," said the captain.
A few minutes thus passed, when there came the sound of a low whistle. Tossing away the stub of his cigarette, Don answered with another whistle. Broughton Emerson straightened up instantly, being well enough hidden for that, and so did Jacob Farnum, whose presence, of course, was unsuspected by either of the Melvilles.
And all at once there came a smile with the tears, and Jolly Roger turning from Father John to find her thus gathered her close in his arms, and Peter wagged his tail and went out into the sun-filled day, where he heard a red squirrel challenging him from a stub in the edge of the clearing.
Chance for you, if you want it. Make a big thing of it lanterns, bonfires, fireworks, orchestra regular blow-out." Tom's breath came in gasps. "Why why " he stammered. "How could we how could we afford What ? How ?" Perkins threw away the stub of his cigar, chewed to a pulp at the mouth end. His eyes had an odd glitter.
