Allowance to a child or other dependent: ordinarily, only another name for a gift or gratuity.¹ The honorable discharge of a soldier from service does not restore him allowances forfeited by desertion (included in which is a bounty), that is, everything which could be recovered from the government in consideration of enlistment and services. The forfeiture must first be removed.2 Over against in length; lengthwise of. Compare BY, 1; PARALLEL. "By the length of, as distinguished from across; lengthwise of;" as, a railway along a highway.5 A sidewalk "along the line" of land does not import that the sidewalk must at all points touch or be parallel to such line. "Along a line" means up to, extending to, reaching to, that line.7 In the expression "on, over, and along" an alley, is synonymous with on or over, not by the side of. An insurable interest on property of a railroad "along its route" means property in proximity to the rails upon which the engines run: which may be outside the lines of the roadway or lawfully within those lines.º "Along the bank" of the Chattahoochee is definite enough to exclude the idea that any part of the river or its bed was not to be within the State of Georgia by the cession of her unsettled territory to the United States in 1802. The call excludes the idea that a line was to be traced at the edge of the water as that may be at one time or another; - it is for "the bank," the fast land which confines the water of the river in its channel or bed in its whole width. Wherever the bed may be it belongs to Georgia, and not to Alabama. The line is to be determined, in each trial, by the jury.10 1 Barney v. City of Keokuk, 94 U. S. 337 (1876), Bradley, J.
