The superintendent returned presently, and, turning to his desk, resumed his work. A few minutes later the telegraph operator came in and told him that the cars at Victory had been loaded with iron truss work the night before, and had gone off down the State.
This, in triplicate, is an ordinary procedure anywhere.

Yet I warrant, from the look of him, that he could truss you like a woodcock if he had his great hands upon you.
