I glanced toward the hospital, where my few worldly possessions, including my dress clothes, my amputating set, and such of my books as I had not been able to sell, were awaiting disposition. "Very near, miss," I said. "Better bring them at once; we are sailing in the morning." She turned away as if to avoid my thanks, but stopped and came back.
The apricot is grafted readily by the ordinary cleft grafting, amputating above the forks if the tree is low-headed enough to allow you to work into the limbs instead of the trunk. Grafts will take all right in the trunk by bark grafting, but working in smaller limbs makes a stronger tree. This is for old trees and the grafting is done during the winter.
It lay near the brass lock of the amputating case, attached to which there were some pieces of mahogany from the case itself. A trephine is just like a corkscrew, only in place of the screw you have a cup of steel. This steel cup has a serrated edge: it is, in fact, a small circular saw.
Next to my own, in my affections, stands this sunlit, flower-covered land which has given the world men and women unselfishly brave and noble.

"Corpo di Baccho," exclaimed the student, stooping to pick up the precious tools; "have you been amputating your own head, or is it I who am dreaming?" "Ah," murmured Strand, lifting a large, strange gaze upon his friend, "is it you?" "Who else should it be? I come to call you to breakfast." "I wonder what is up between Strand and Augusta?" said Arnfinn to his cousin Inga.
Bellingham sat staring, with amazement and rage upon his bloated face. "Well, really now, you make yourself at home," he gasped. Smith sat himself deliberately down, placing his watch upon the table, drew out his pistol, cocked it, and laid it in his lap. Then he took the long amputating knife from his bosom, and threw it down in front of Bellingham.
