Without further ado, Demetrio strode into the shed which had been pointed out as the toolhouse. It was all a matter of a few minutes. Once in the alley, hugging to the walls, they marched forward in single file until they reached the rear of the church. Now they had but a single fence and the rear wall of the chapel to scale. "God's will be done!" Demetrio said to himself.

Oh, Clement J. Cleggett, you liar! And yet, who does not lie in order to veil his inmost, sweetest thoughts from an unsympathetic world? That was not an ordinary jab with an ordinary cane which Cleggett had directed towards the toolhouse door. It was a thrust en carte; the thrust of a brilliant swordsman; the thrust of a master; a terrible thrust.

Something was said about a lion and a chimpanzee and a toolhouse, but the boys could not imagine what the circus men had in mind to do. Presently one of the circus men got up from his seat and walked around the lumber piles. When he saw the boys and Mr. Jally he uttered a whistle of surprise.

Not far from the fence they took up their station in an unused toolhouse, smoking the next hours away in silence. When ten o'clock neared, Lem stole out; but he came back almost immediately, cursing the wild night in superstitious fear. "The wind's full of shriekin' devils, Lon," he said, "and 'tain't time for us to go out. Be ye afeard to try it, old man?"

He dropped from the scarecrow's trouser leg and scurried off to his hole beneath the toolhouse. The Boy, his face a mixture of amusement and concern, picked up the captive without noticing her feeble pecks, undid the noose from her leg, and carried her over the hedge to rest and recover herself.

Ginger, in the kitchen behind her, shrieked and swore with sudden fierceness; but between his outbursts Anne heard a plaintive cry from the little building in the yard which served Mr. Harrison as a toolhouse. Anne flew to the door, unhasped it, and caught up a small mortal with a tearstained face who was sitting forlornly on an upturned nail keg. "Oh, Dora, Dora, what a fright you have given us!

Betty hastily slipped into bed, and though Bob's news had excited her, she was tired enough to fall asleep readily. In the morning she watched her chance to speak to Bob alone, and when she heard him grinding a sickle in the toolhouse ran out to tell him something. "You must let me lend you some money, Bob," she said earnestly. "I know you haven't enough to go to Washington on.

"I gave orders up at the toolhouse that you were to have whatever boards, nails, and tools you wanted, so don't hesitate to sail in and hunt up anything you need." "You are mighty kind, sir." "Pooh, pooh. Nonsense! Aren't you improving the Fernald property, I'd like to know?" Mr. Wharton laughed. "This boathouse has been an eyesore for years.

He had been watching for a long time for an opportunity to possess himself of a certain long ladder made of twisted evergreen ropes, which the Monks kept locked up in the toolhouse. Lately, by some oversight, the toolhouse had been left unlocked one day, and the Prince got the ladder.

She looked up as if she had expected him, noted his dark face, and lowered her head again. "Black Pussy's gone, Lem. I've got a cold settin' on me here," she whispered, wheezing as she laid her hand on her chest. "I hope it'll kill ye!" grunted Lem. "What did you leave the toolhouse fer, when I told ye to stay?" "What toolhouse, Lemmy?" The dazed eyes looked up at him in surprise.
