My boarders will be 'long and I got to freshen the house up a little." "You goin' to have the same folks you had last year, Em'line?" "Oh, yes. They're real nice -for city people. I tell Barzillai " "How is Barzillai?" "Middlin'. His leg ain't never been just right since he was helpin' ice the Tryout, come two summers ago.
The colt's been working good, and and " "And you thought he had a chance, did you?" "Why sure, judges, and I " "Well, then, why did you tell your friends that the colt was only in for a tryout? How about that?" "I I didn't want 'em spoiling the price, I mean, judges; I didn't think it was anybody's business." "Oh, so you bet on him, did you? Let's see the tickets." And of course Mr.
But the trim little craft needed only slight adjustments after her tryout, for Tom had built her to stand up under a terrific strain. "We'll soon be in shape for the big race," he announced, "and when I bring home that ten thousand dollars I'm going to abandon this sky-scraping business, except for occasional trips." "What will you do to occupy your mind?" asked Mr. Damon.
"You're not," he replied. "Know anything about a stop-watch?" "I know all about one." "Well, your daughter has sent to San Francisco for the best stop-watch money can buy, and it's here. I've had my father's old stop-watch cleaned and regulated. Panchito's on edge and we're going to give him a half-mile tryout to-morrow, so I want two stop-watches on him. Will you oblige, sir?"
"Oh, pickles!" exclaimed Jim. Pen tossed her head and left him. It was in the spring of their senior year that Jim and Sara ran the Marathon. It was a great event in the world of college athletics. Men from every important college in the country competed in the tryout. For the final Marathon there were left twenty men, Sara and Jim among them.
Several other autos soon appeared on the track to have a "tryout," and, though none of them seemed as speedy as Noddy's new machine, there was no talk of dropping out on the part of those who had entered. That gave the boys more courage, and they decided to stick, even though their chances were not good. Noddy did not speak to them, though he passed them several times.
Course that don't take much bean after they get used to his ways; but this fairy in the puckered black velvet waist and the white linen cuffs hadn't been on the Corrugated staff more 'n three days, and this was her first tryout on private officework.
Tom hired a couple of machinists to aid him in assembling the motor, and some of the gas appliances and other apparatus. "Ha! Bless my rubber shoes!" cried Mr. Damon in delight, as he looked at the big craft "This is like old times, Tom!" "Yes, indeed," agreed our hero. "Are you going to give it a preliminary tryout?" asked Ned. "Oh, yes, I think we can do that to-morrow," replied Tom.
I had just installed in the tank a system of wireless control, so she could be guided as some torpedos and submarines are, by wireless impulses from the shore. "Only I'd never given the tank system a tryout. It was all installed, and had worked perfectly on the small model I constructed.
We haven't had enough of a tryout to really count." "And I bet you we're giving you fifty per cent more business than Osgood did," Jake Bloom broke in. "Just because we've been a little unfortunate right on the go-off on a few losses is no reason for closing us up. You're making a mistake to leave us. Give us a year at least we'll make good for you."
