Damn himI'll fix him!" CHAPTER X THE SANDALS OF JOY "Come in here, Johnnie," Mavity Bence called one day, as Johnnie was passing a strange little cluttered cubbyhole under the garret stairs and out over the roof of the lean-to kitchen.

Therefore it was that, after being alternately urged and entreated for half an hour, Sergeant Corney agreed to do as Jacob desired, and straightway set about seeking the leader, which was no difficult task, since his camp was a lean-to of fir boughs standing hardly more than fifty feet from where we were sitting.

This buttery was in a lean-to, as a small addition to the original building was called in the parlance of the country; and, the object being shade and coolness, on account of the milk with which it was usually well stored at this season of the year, it projected back to the very cliff, where it was half hid in bushes and young trees.

He had announced his intention to send the Tuscarora ahead to reconnoitre, then to force himself among the bushes between the lean-to and the rocks, and there to open a communication with the major through the chinks of the logs After receiving Nick's intelligence, his plan was to be governed by circumstances, and to act accordingly.

It required but a minute to reach the narrow passage between the cliff and the lean-to.

There were plenty of them; and the one he took soon brought him out into that by which Captain Willoughby had descended to the lean-to.

The logs of the lean-to, however, were much smaller than those of the body of the house, and both were of the common white pine of the country; a wood of durable qualities, used as it was here, but which yielded easily to edged tools.

His practised ears caught the sound of voices in the lean-to, then scarce fifty feet distant.

Then, merging his figure into the surrounding blackness in a way that only wild men and animals understand, he turned, still moving like a shadow, and went stealthily back to his lean-to and his bed.

Thor had found a huge rock that shelved inward, like a lean-to, and he crept back under this with Muskwa before the deluge descended.

They laid him on Cicely's bed in the little lean-to shed that formed a room separate from the main apartment of the cabin.

The hut contained two small bedrooms, scarcely bigger than cabins on board ship, one sitting-room, and a lean-to kitchen in the rear.

From the balsam lean-to he brought out a small rubber bag and a towel.

Attached to this room was a lean-to kitchen, and near by, hidden behind the cage, was another native house for sleeping.

It was a long, low lean-to, such as farmers often furnish for domestic work, with a carpenter's bench, a grind-stone, and a few simple tools.

At the front of the house were a stair and a platform for unloading seed cotton from the wagons; inside there were bins for storage, as well as a space for operating the gin; and in the rear a lean-to room extending to the ground level received the flying lint and let it settle on the floor.

The stables are nearly finisheda thoroughly stout well-roofed lean-to on the north side.

No one slept alone, for the more or less monogamic family assembled nightly in a cave or 'lean-to' shelter.

The sounds from the lean-to had ceased.

Under the captain's directions they had built a sort of screen for the fire at the first sign of a storm, making it of green cocoanut tree leaves on slanting poles like a "lean-to," and this kept the blaze going in spite of the wetness, as plenty of dry wood had been gathered before the rain began.

There was a good deal of parleying before it was finally decided to place the body in the forge, which was a wooden lean-to, resting against the north wall of the cottage.

There are many days when one might pass and repass the shabby lean-to that is his home without seeing any signs of life.

In the corner of a lean-to whitewashed attic stood a fine, plain, solid oak bureau.

His destination was a hut, or rather a lean-to, that pressed against the side of the mountain, a crazy structure with a single length of stove pipe leaning awry from the roof.
