He groped for his trousers and gave the waiting porter half a dollar. "How did it get here?" he asked with attempted indifference. "Don't know nuffin' 'bout it, suh; gemmen tole me tote 'er up. If it ain't all right "

If Asia had a Panama Canal to dig, she would dig it with picks, hoes, and spades and tote out the earth in buckets. Nothing but human bone and sinew would be employed, and the men would be paid little, because without tools and knowledge they must always earn little.

"He don't tote a pistol and I'll manage to slip into his room and see if he has one there, and if he has, I'll hook it. I have also hatched out a plan to get the women folks away.
