There are an impressive number of children who uncomplainingly and constantly hand over their weekly wages to their parents, sometimes receiving back ten cents or a quarter for spending-money, but quite as often nothing at all; and the writer knows one girl of twenty-five who for six years has received two cents a week from the constantly falling wages which she earns in a large factory.
But she was stricken motionless as well as speechless by her chum's defection, and before she could recover her poise the wagons had begun to move, rattling over the frozen road toward Triton Lake. Ah! how it hurt! For weeks Ruth had endured slights, and haughty looks, and innuendoes from Mary Cox and her Upedes and the girl from the Red Mill had accepted all uncomplainingly.
With fresh venison and trout, seasoned with sweet salt pork, we got through with it uncomplainingly. This little lake is a gem. It is, as its name purports, round, some four miles in diameter, surrounded by an amphitheatre of hills, beneath whose shadows it reposes in placid and quiet beauty.
Baker to be on friendly terms with a slave-trader, and they both felt it to be so, but it was productive of good. Baker was on his guard, and nipped the mutiny in the bud.
