Iron! Iron, sure as thunder! he exclaimed suddenly.

Those iron hoops are what did it. He rubbed his hand vexedly.

I knew better than that, too. I don't see why I didn't think about those hoops. Of all the idiotic, fool--
gpt
What kinda brain do you think you've got in your head, anyway? Andy broke in spiritedly.

Way you've been working it lately, engineering every blamed detail yourself, you oughtn't to wonder if one little thing gets by you.

Well, it's done now, Luck dismissed the accident stoically.

Lucky I started in on those costume and make-up tests of all you fellows, and that scene of your wife's. And if I'd used the other half barrel instead of this five-gallon keg for a start-off, I'd have spoiled the whole bunch. I'll have to throw out all that developer. Blast the luck! Well, let's get busy. He pulled out the keg and held it up for another disgusted look.

I won't bother fixing that at all. Call Happy and Bud back, will you, and have them roll this barrel of developer out and ditch it? And then take those two half barrels you were going to fix, and wrap them with clothesline,--that cotton line on one of the trunks,--and knock off all the hoops. I'm going to beat it to 'Querque and see if that stuff's there. We'll try developing the rest this evening, after I get back. Darn such luck!
