Do you, Calamity, old girl?" Calamity Jane, which had at one time been the wickedest and stubbornest mare on the ranch, nickered and again rubbed Stella's hand with her nose. "Talk about your smart horses," said Stella. "Calamity can do everything except talk. Who's been riding her?" "Kit. He's wrangler, and he won't let any one on her. He's light, you know, and he was saving her for you.
"You don't mean it, child!" cried the spinster. Martha left the room, without answer. "She's got that from him, anyhow," Miss Betsy remarked, "and which o' the two is stubbornest, I couldn't undertake to say. If he's dead-set on the wrong side, why, she's jist as dead-set on the right side, and that makes a mortal difference.
True, the Briton proved his inferiority by too frequently placing himself under lock and key; but you will forgive his every weakness for the unexampled skill wherewith he extricated himself from the stubbornest dungeon.

Even the hottest Baconian, filled with the stubbornest conviction, will, I fancy, admit in confidence that the utmost thing that could, at present, be said for his conclusions by a judicial investigator is that they are 'not proven. To be convinced of a thing without being able to establish it is the surest recipe for making oneself ridiculous.
"Nonsense!" returned Tomlinson; "I will show you how to climb the stubbornest wall in Christendom, if one has but the coast clear. It is the watchman, the watchman, we must " "What?" asked Paul, observing his comrade did not conclude the sentence. It was some time before the sage Augustus replied; he then said in a musing tone,

Quick! forge me the harpoon. And forge me first, twelve rods for its shank; then wind, and twist, and hammer these twelve together like the yarns and strands of a tow-line. Quick!
