"This certainly beats the nation!" remarked Dale, when the cadets were talking the affair over. "First Andy loses his jewelry, then Jack, and now Pepper. Wonder if I hadn't better put my cuff-links in the captain's safe?" And he cut a wry face. "They cost me a dollar and a quarter." "I'll wager Captain Putnam would give a good deal to catch the thief," remarked Stuffer.
In the year 1858 the untiring shoemaker had gathered his third and last collection, the finest and best of all. By this time he had become an expert stuffer of birds, and a good preserver of fish and flowers. But his health was now beginning to fail.
Watts McHurdie used to say that more people saw that deposit than could be packed into the front room of the bank with a collar stuffer. But why Adrian Brownwell had come to the Ridge, and where he had made his money there myth and fable enter into the composition of the narrative, and one man's opinion is as good as another's.
Leaving the other letters and papers unopened, he walked to the door and looked out into the courtyard, where Stuffer, the youngest of his nephews, who was too small to be allowed to join in the field sports of the others, was playing at being a railway train.
Everyone who knew the Avories came to see it even Robert's bird stuffer, who said he would like to borrow it for a week's holiday in Epping Forest, and observe Nature through its windows. Several of Gregory's intimates also examined it, and approved. Miss Bingham pronounced it elegant and commodious, and Mr. Collins wished she might never have to cook in it, but otherwise was very tolerant.

Jack and Pepper watched Ritter closely and then looked questioningly at each other. What did Ritter know about Cameron Smith, and was the man really the fellow who had robbed the Ford mansion?
Corrupt business and corrupt politics act and react, with ever increasing debasement, one on the other; the rebate-taker, the franchise-trafficker, the manipulator of securities, the purveyor and protector of vice, the black-mailing ward boss, the ballot box stuffer, the demagogue, the mob leader, the hired bully and mankiller, all alike work at the same web of corruption, and all alike should be abhorred by honest men.
But we are determined that no thief, burglar, incendiary, assassin, ballot-box stuffer or other disturber of the peace, shall escape punishment, either by quibbles of the law, the carelessness of the police or a laxity of those who pretend to administer justice." What a man earns, that is his such was the lesson of California.
"Toss up a cent for it," suggested Andy. "All right, I'll toss up," answered Jack, and did so, and it was decided that he should fight with Company B. "Good enough!" cried Pepper, who was in that command. "Now Company A is licked, sure!" "Not much!" was the answer from Stuffer Singleton. "We'll win, sure!"
"This must be tough on some of the farmers," observed Dale. "Think of trying to get the milk to the station in such weather." "Well, a farmer usually has enough to eat," answered Stuffer. "That counts for a good deal. Now if a fellow was snowbound and didn't have any grub " He did not finish but shook his head dolefully. To Stuffer such a fate was beyond words.
