Young and fair, her sun-streaked hair and gold-flecked green eyes were highlighted and contrasted by skin of bronze and trinkets of silver. Her muscles were smooth and round; the outline of her breasts showed full beneath a woven garment the likes of which he had never seen.
"There seems to be a fire, yonder," he said; "and somebody seated before it; your Seminole, I think. By Jove, Shiela, he's certainly picturesque!" A sullen-eyed Indian rose as they rode up, his turban brilliant in the declining sunshine, his fringed leggings softly luminous as woven cloth of gold. "He a mah, Coacochee!" said the girl in friendly greeting. "It is good to see you, Little Tiger.
Such was the zeal for righteousness woven by many hands into the fabric of the West. A little before sundown they reached the settlement. Samson asked a man in the road if he knew where they could find the nurse Bim Kelso. "Do ye mean that angel o' God in a white dress that takes keer o' the sick?" the man asked. "I guess that would be Bim," said Samson.
Through the meshes he could distinctly see the country beyond, and it seemed to be just the country he desired, more wooded and inviting than what he had traversed.

No golden and jeweled plaything ever tempted a starving man to theft as this tempted him now to break the pledge he had just given. His birthright!
In the use of clothing and the specialization of garments the early Japanese had reached a high level. We read in the ancient legends of upper garments, skirts, trousers, anklets, and head-ornaments of stones considered precious.* The principal material of wearing apparel was cloth woven from threads of hemp and mulberry bark.
She had given a very pretty and unique effect to the nest by a border of fine dark rootlets skillfully woven together. The song sparrow shows a high degree of variability both in its song and in its nesting-habits, each bird having several songs of its own, while one may nest upon the ground and another in a low bush, or in the vines on the side of your house.
"A capital idea," exclaimed Foster. "Then father's inventions are quite safe?" asked Kathleen. "Yes. One is a camera for taking a map of the country from an airship; the other, still more marvelous glass armor." "Glass what!" chorused his listeners. "Armor.
