As I stood talking with the girl I presently recollected that she still was bound, and with a word of apology, I drew my knife and cut the rawhide thongs which confined her wrists at her back. She thanked me, and with such a sweet smile that I should have been amply repaid by it for a much more arduous service.
The leather thongs by which the ox had been tied up were snapped like threads, and many of the other oxen had, in their agony of fear, broken their fastenings and escaped. As the lion bounded away through the assembled party, it appeared as if the ox was not a feather's weight to him.
It comes from the twisted horsehair rope of a riata, and not from the braided cowhide thongs of the regular lasso of a vacquero. The lasso slips not much, but holds; the riata slips much and strangles." "But Mr. Peyton was not strangled," said Clarence quickly. "No, for the noose of the riata was perhaps large, who knows? It might have slipped down his arms, pinioned him, and pulled him off.
"By continued practice, I used to walk up the path over and over again, and let them throw the thong over me. Then the woman was always there with the club, so that if one of the thongs missed, she was ready to strike. I, also, was usually ready to help in case of necessity." "Why did you think it necessary to take the cartridges out of my revolver?"
Then he will adopt some link motion for the legs in place of leather thongs, and will hinge the paddle blades so that they open out with the forward stroke, but collapse with the return.

Now I put her on, for she like to be worn again," and with a quick movement he clapped the mask on to his face, manipulated the greasy black leather thongs and made them fast. Thus adorned the great negro looked no less than terrific.
As Wilhelm was brought to a stand before this assemblage, the Freigraf nodded his head and the guards in silence undid the thongs which pinioned together wrists and elbows, leaving the prisoner absolutely unfettered. This done, the guard retreated backwards to the opposite wall, and Wilhelm stood alone before the seven sinister doomsmen.
"And where lies the danger?" Ja-don asked of Jane, ignoring Lu-don. The woman pointed to the thongs. "Look," she said, and before the high priest could prevent she had seized that which controlled the partition which shot downward separating Lu-don from the warrior and herself. Ja-don looked inquiringly at her.
The straps with rich enamel decked I bid you lay aside; And bind the rowels to my heel With thongs of dusky hide." Thus spake aloud the brave Gazul, One gloomy Tuesday night; Gloomy the eve, as he prepared For victory in the fight. For on that day the news had come That his fair Moorish maid Had wedded with his bitterest foe, The hated Albenzaide.
