Why, Levine, where are you going?" he asked with feigned surprise, as the other started to take his leave. "Don't you want to hear " "Shut your mouth!" snarled Peter Levine, furiously, then turned and slunk off, followed by the jeers and catcalls of the crowd. "You shore hev got his number, boy," said one old timer, admiringly. "He loves you like the fox loves a trap." Allen grinned boyishly.
He leaned over the timer, which rested near the lip of the hole, took the dial control in his glove, and turned it to position ten. He held it long enough to glance at his chronometer and say, "Starting now!" Then he let it go. Wasting no time, but not hurrying, he and Dominico returned to the landing boat.
"But your poor horse," she said, cleverly changing her ground; "he is quite tired out." The Old Timer now joined earnestly in urging him to stay till the storm was past. So, with a final look at the stream, The Pilot turned toward the house. Of course I knew what would happen. Before the evening was over he had captured the household.
Maybe the bones are pressing on your brain where you bumped your head. You act like it. But the fact is I didn't want to go back to Watertown I ought to chase right down to Chester for that timer. It was promised for to-morrow, and there isn't a minute to be lost. There aren't any falls down this way, are there?" he asked with mock seriousness. "Come on, dad, say I can go!" begged Tod.
The meditative smile with which he perpetrated this theft upon the prison authorities was a wonderful sight. Another convict, a hardened old timer, for several weeks lavished cargoes of tenderness upon a rat which he had laboriously conciliated and tamed. "What makes you so fond of that animal?" enquired one day a sentimental and statistical old lady visitor to the prison.
In the larger field of public life a woman without the protection of a husband's name has a hard lot if she has physical or other attractions. Widows of both kinds are always under suspicion. If one is lighthearted and enjoys even innocent pleasure, she may be called a "good timer," or "fast," and this may injure her advancement in the arena of business life.
But in the other voyages, whatever discoveries we meet with are purely accidental, except it be Dampier's voyage to the coasts of New Holland and New Guinea, which was expressly made for discoveries; and in which, if an abler man had been employed in conjunction with Dampier, we cannot doubt that the interior and exterior of those countries would have been much better known than they are at present; because such a person would rather have chosen to have refreshed in the island of New Britain, or some other country not visited before, than at that of Timer, already settled both by the Portuguese and the Dutch.
The demand is so great and the ship capacity so small that we must limit vacation trips to no more than one in any ten-year period." He turned away and went down the hall and out the doorway of the marble and brass Connemorra Lines Building. He walked through town for six blocks and the thought of old Jake Norton came to his mind. Jake had been an old timer in the city room when Mel was a cub.
All through the winter, under The Pilot's guidance, she, with her father, the Old Timer, listening near, went over and over that story so old now to many, but ever becoming new, till a whole new world of mysterious Powers and Presences lay open to her imagination and became the home of great realities.
Ben swung around the timer to gain more speed in a spurt of the motor. "It's that Jim Peters, I'll bet," he declared, as they headed for Center Landing. "He's there ahead of us. He cut through the shallow channel." Whether Jim Peters had taken leave of his senses or was simply unreasonably angry, folks were never able to say with certainty.
