"No, sir; the pipes would rust through, would they not, and give you a lot of trouble?"
Mr. Phillips nodded.
"Your idea is correct."
"I should elevate them over the river."
"If there are any other intricate problems that you are unable to work out, Phillips, just call on my boys," laughed Mr. Keating.
"Yes; I am inclined to that belief myself. Have you an hour that you can spare, Mr. Keating?"
"Certainly. There is nothing more to be done here this afternoon."
"How about you, Rush?"
"I have to report for duty within the hour."
