It was while smarting under these criticisms that the steward one morning in June brought him his letters. One was from Monteith Class of '9l a senior when Muggles was a freshman and was postmarked "Wabacog, Canada," where Monteith owned a lumber mill and where he ran it himself and everything connected with it from stumpage to scantling.
"Hugging the sod," as he named it, had had its effect not only on himself, but on his fellows. They would never have felt that way toward him at the Magnolia. The week at Wabacog had widened their horizon widened everybody's horizon as for himself he felt like a Western prairie with limitless possibilities ending in mountains of accomplishment.
His father had stood by and seen the old homestead in his native Southern State topple into ashes, Only the gaunt chimney left; the son had worked his way through college, and then with diploma in one hand and his courage in the other all he owned had shaken the dust of civilization from his shoes and had struck out for the Northern wilds: Wabacog was the result.
Wabacog covers a shaved place in a primeval forest which slopes to a lake of the same name.
