Johnnie did that, and realized what a fortunate boy he was with his wonderful friend at his side, his uniform on his back, and "a dandy hair cut." So as he went out in One-Eye's wake, "Hullo!" he called to the boys in the most cordial way. "And I reckon we look some punkins?" the cowboy observed when they were back in the flat once more.
But while we thus stood in dreary contemplation of the miserable prospect before us, Young, as his habit was, was spying about him sharply, and so spied out a way of deliverance for us. The announcement of his discovery was made in a very characteristic way. "You set up to be some punkins of an engineer, now don't you?" he said, addressing Rayburn.
"I tell ye there's yeast a-stirring," he told the state committee. "There's a fellow come up out of the Eleventh Ward in Marion that's some punkins in organizing. He pretends to be a law student in Arch Converse's law-office. He ain't a native. I don't know where he hails from. He ain't a registered voter as yet. But he's a man who needs to be trailed."

"Mebbe they'll have a few things to say if Hen Hawkins isn't on the square. I know that him an' the Stubbles eat out of the same trough. But great punkins! they'll dance on the same griddle if they're not keerful." Douglas was surprised at the number of men gathered at the hall when he and Jake arrived that afternoon.
Dad was feeling dry, and told Joe to fetch him a drink. Joe said: "See first if this cove can fly with only one wing." Then he went, but returned and said: "There's no water in the bucket Mother used the last drop to boil th' punkins," and renewed the fly-catching.
"That guy on shore is sure some punkins about this signal layout works jest like a Boy Scout might, sending a message across to another o' the troop standin' on top o' a high peak makes me think I'm back on the front, with Signal Corps men wigwaggin' for all that's out. Huh! There goes them twin lights, showin' the chinnin' must be over with both sides posted on the program.
Jukes was in bed, but it did not take Jake long to light the kitchen fire, boil some water, and prepare a pot of tea. This, with bread and jam from the pantry, formed their midnight repast, and when they were through Jake pushed back his chair and lighted his pipe. "Great punkins!" he exclaimed, bringing his big fist down upon the table with a bang.
