They're all painted over now: maybe they're puttied up level.

This first one, who had just dismounted from his bay polo-pony, was Mortimer, of the Intelligencetall, straight, and hawk-faced, with khaki tunic and riding-breeches, drab putties, a scarlet cummerbund, and a skin tanned to the red of a Scotch fir by sun and wind, and mottled by the mosquito and the sand-fly.

We must wire about something just to justify our khaki coats and our putties.

Dressing consisted of putting on my coat, putties, and some canvas shoes with rope soles.

Wrap putties . . . . . .

Leather putties . . . . . . .

I was a little afraid to crack Jerry's house by myself, for he's a strong old fellow, so I got a man named Putty Henderson to go along with me.

Putty was a big fellow and very handy with a jimmy; but he was awful contrary-minded, and he wouldn't agree to clean out Jerry until I promised to go halves with him.

Don't we, pard?''That's so,' says Putty.

You're Tommy Randall, and you're Putty Henderson, so you might as well take off them masks.

Putty and me agree to go halves with what we get out of you, and when I lay out a piece of business I don't make no changes.

''No, I won't,' says he, and he turns to Putty Henderson.

Now, Putty, he must have been a little sore with me on account of the arguments we'd had about dividin', and he was mighty glad besides to get the chance of makin' fifty dollars extry, and so he said it was all right, and he'd agree.

''No, you won't,' sings out Jerry, and with that he jumps out of bed right at me, and Putty Henderson he comes at me from the other side, and, between the two, they gave me the worst lickin' I ever got in my born days, and then they dragged me down stairs and kicked me out the front door, and I had hardly time to pick myself up before I saw a policeman about a block off, and if he hadn't been a fat one he'd had me sure.

The platform may consist of three inch planking laid across the keelsons nailed with iron, nails, the heads of which are well punched down, and caulked and puttied like a deck.

I have an idea to use putties to secure our wind trousers to the finnesko.

There is scant news of our small outside worldonly a report of comfort and a rumour that Bowers' pony has eaten one of its putties!!

Still we wait: the picketing lines must be gathered up, a few pony putties need adjustment, a party has been slow striking their tent.

It was bitter, bitter coldcold as it only can be in hot countries (I have never felt the cold in Russia as I have in India) and the khaki flannel shirt, khaki tunic, shorts and putties that had seemed so hot in the cruel heat of the day as we made our painful way across the valley, seemed miserably inadequate at night, on the windy hill-top.

Some of its members removed their helmets and the sweat of their brows, some re-fastened bootlaces and putties or unfastened restraining hooks and buttons.

All who can, to wear rubber-soled shoes, others to go barefoot or bandage their boots with putties over cardboard or paper.

In ill-fitting khaki, ammunition boots, a helmet many sizes too big, and badly-wound putties, he looked an extremely absurd object.

Socks, according to tastevery few knickerbocker stockings need be taken, as putties are cheap and usual in Srinagar.

The hollow is so small that it barely contains my tiffin basket, rifle, gun, and selfin fact, my grass-shod and puttied extremities dangle over the rim, whence a steep slope shelves down some 200 feet to a brawling burn, the hum of which, mingling with the fitful sighing of the pines as the breeze sweeps through their sounding boughs, is perpetually in my ears.

Horse fell on me once and smashed me up so that I had to be sent to get puttied up again, and I never struck such a month as that since I was born.
