"I've never seen so many people at the station at one time," added Grace, bewildered. "Do you know what it is, Mrs. Ross?" asked Amy. But Mrs. Ross made no answer she did not have to. The crowd at the station caught sight of the four girls, and a great shout went up. "Hurray," cried a masculine voice. "Hurray for the Outdoor Girls. Give 'em three cheers and a tiger."
Phillips Brooks tried outdoor preaching, and if his health had not failed, he might have popularized it. It only wants a man who is big enough to inaugurate it. Aristotle had various helpers, and arranged to give his lectures and conferences daily in certain porches or promenades.
"You dawg-goned old hellamile, what you mean comin' down here an' gettin' throwed in the calaboose?" he demanded, thumping his friend on the shoulder with a heavy brown fist. "I'm sure enough glad to see you, Mr. Champeen-of-the-World," Kirby answered, falling into the easy vernacular of the outdoor country. "Come to the big town to spend that thousand dollars you won the other day?"
"But we just love to do anything we can," broke in Betty quickly, for the Outdoor Girls never liked to be thanked. "And we'd like so much to have you see our Hostess House. That is, if you'd care to," she added, suddenly remembering that the old woman might not be so helpless and alone as she had seemed might have made some other plans. But the latter quickly reassured her.
Ranchi students often win the cup at competitive events. The outdoor gymnasium is known far and wide. Muscle recharging through will power is the YOGODA feature: mental direction of life energy to any part of the body. The Yogoda Health Exhibitions at the Ranchi VIDYALAYA have been attended by thousands.
"He wasn't in my crew he wasn't on outdoor work," shouted Wagg. "What was his job?" demanded the warden. "Harness shop," reported an officer. He called to another guard and started into the building indicated. All those in the yard waited anxiously, their eyes on the door where the guards had entered. Promptly the officers came out.
His friends, who knew he did not drink, assumed that Conroy had strained his heart through valiant outdoor exercises, and Conroy had with some care invented an imaginary doctor, symptoms, and regimen, which he discussed with them and with his mother in Hereford. She maintained that he would grow out of it, and recommended nux vomica.
At first Nellie accompanied them in these excursions; but when one day her aunt, who still remained at Laurel Hill, pointed out to her a patch of sunburn and a dozen freckles, the result of her outdoor exercise, she declared her intention of remaining at home thereafter a resolution not altogether unpleasant to J.C., as by this means Maude was more frequently his companion.
Then, too, you should learn to notice outdoor sounds the songs of the birds, the noises that the animals make, the wind in the trees, and the patter of the rain. The old Norsemen have a story that their god Heimdall had such keen ears that he could hear the grass growing in the meadow and the wool growing on the backs of the sheep!
His presence should have been a sign of approaching trouble, but Old Lady Lamson did not hear him. Her mind was reading the lettered scroll of a vanished year. Perhaps the touch of the warm water on her hands recalled her to the present. "Seems good to feel the suds," she said, happily, holding up one withered hand, and letting the foam drip from her fingers, "I wish't I could dry outdoor!
