It is never very dark in summer on the western prairie, and George could see across the sloo, but there was no movement that the wind would not account for among the black trees that shut it in. Several minutes passed, and George looked around again with strained attention. Suddenly a dim figure emerged from the gloom.
Lansing, that bad seasons are not the rule in western Canada, and one good one wipes out the results of several lean years." Then she rode away, and George joined Edgar. He felt that he had been given a warning. On reaching home, he harnessed a team and drove off to a sloo to haul in hay, but while he worked he cast anxious glances at the clouds.
"In the first case I was not alone," I said, looking straight at my adversary. "In the second I was absent, and did not threaten him." "He was to your knowledge threatened?" "Yes." "Do you know that shortly after leaving your house he was murderously assaulted as a result of his visit?" "I believe that some one flung him into a muddy sloo, and I was not sorry to hear it."
Some of the bucks keep smart teams; they do a little rough farming on the reservation. It would look as if they were going for sloo hay, if anybody saw them." George waited in silence, wishing he could hear the thud of hoofs again. It was slightly daunting to lie still and wonder where the men were.
As a result, there were complications, and she left her home. The husband went to seek her on the wide prairie, and some bad man, after trying to shoot him, threw him into a sloo. We don't know whether this was the prosecutor, but should think so. Then the husband swore vengeance, and it is supposed posted the cattle thieves so that they could clean out the wicked betrayer's stock.
On much of it the grasses grew only to a few inches in length, and we had therefore to seek winter food for our beasts in each dried-up sloo, where they stood sometimes waist-high and even higher.
Ange! a Converse Jack Eustis two Frowenfelds! a Mossy! a Hennen Bartie Sloo McVey, McStea, a De Lavillebuevre a Thorndyke-Smith and a Grandissime again! And ah! see yonder young cannoneer half-way between these two balconies and the statue beyond; that foppish boy with his hair in a hundred curls and his eyes wild with wayward ardor!
In this case, argued before Judge Ingersoll in the United States Circuit Court, at New York City, on May 16, 1856, many interesting and characteristic facts came out both in the argument and in the Court decision. Sloo assigned his contract to them. Law was the first president, and was succeeded by Roberts. A trust fund was formed.
Of course, it's a big handful, but there's lots of sloo hay that would feed winter stock, and I want the house badly. Indeed, if I don't get it I'm going to build one. Don't you think we could take the risk?" I thought hard for a few minutes. We were speculating boldly, and already had undertaken rather more than we could manage; but the offer was tempting, and, noting Harry's eagerness, I agreed.
For half an hour he scrambled among thick nut bushes, kicking aside the snow beneath them here and there; and then he plunged knee-deep into the withered grass where a sloo had dried. The snow was thin in the wood, but it hid the iron-hard ground so that he could not tell if it had been disturbed.
