Jump Wires

Famous quotes containing the words jump and/or wires:

    Some of these men had become abstrusely entangled with the spying departments of other nations and would give an amusing jump if you came from behind and tapped them on the shoulder.

    Under a world of whistles, wires and steam
    Caboose-like they go ruminating through
    Ohio, Indiana—blind baggage—
    To Cheyenne tagging . . . Maybe Kalamazoo. See Vagagonds
