One of the women, evidently, had not had time to change her apparel, and had thinly disguised the flowing robe and loose cestus of Venus under a ragged "waterproof"; while the other, who had doubtless posed for Mercury, hid her shapely tights in a plaid shawl, and changed her winged sandals for a pair of "arctics." Their rouged faces were streaked and stained with tears.
Arctics, and tropics, and equator, and equinoctial line; we'll take 'em turn and turn about; we'll do writing and ciphering one night, and geography t' other. Philip spoke with pleasure at the prospect, but Sylvia relaxed into indifference. 'I'm no scholard; it's like throwing away labour to teach me, I'm such a dunce at my book.
The floor space and side benches were occupied by new horse shoes, a can of paint, sheep shears, a lard bucket filled with nails and staples, boxes of rifle ammunition, riding boots and arctics, a halter and a broken bridle. It all said plainly that the wagon represented only a place for sleep and shelter, yet, since she had no other, it was home to the sheep woman.
Grover Cleveland at a White House reception into writing blindly on the back of a card "He didn't." When she turned it over she discovered that it bore on the other side, in Mrs. Clemens' handwriting, the startling words: "Don't wear your arctics in the White House." I shall never forget his recital of the story of how his enthusiasm oozed away at a meeting in behalf of foreign missions.
In the markets are fish from all parts of the Pacific Ocean, from the Tropics to far north in the Arctics, while denizens of the waters all the way, between add to the variety. The essential element of goodness in fish is freshness, and it is always fresh in San Francisco markets, and also in the restaurants.
Then the ice splits and the explosion causes light ans makes a noise which is always heard in the Arctics. The Eskimo scoffs at the idea of man reaching the North Pole. They say the place where the pole is supposed to be, is an unfinished part of creation, and how can man find that which has not been created. They say the north Pole is one continous upheavel of indisscribable explosions.
By the great fireplace heaped with blazing logs sat old Sandy McLeod energetically tugging at the straps of his great "arctics." "It's a cauld day, lass," he was saying to little Janie. "Will it be too cauld to venture out an' meet the music maester?" His eyes twinkled, for he well knew that Janie was wild to sing for this man who would say if her voice were indeed worth training.
"Better kill a calf, an' cook meat while we've got little wood left," suggested Rea. "Kill one of my calves? I'd starve first!" cried Jones. The hungry giant said no more. They headed southwest. All about them glared the grim monotony of the arctics. No rock or bush or tree made a welcome mark upon the hoary plain Wonderland of frost, white marble desert, infinitude of gleaming silences!
Stinging sleets, biting winds, desperately fatigued horses, valiant and persistent battles with snow drifts, icy cold temperatures and everything pertaining to heroism in the Arctics were there. "Tim and I have got Scott, Peary and Admunsen all looking like a lot of pikers!" thought Jimmy as he read.
Tree stumps and fences, their identity already lost, were hooded things that in another two days would be completely covered and hidden. The girl buckled her arctics upon her warmly stockinged feet, drew her hood down over her ears, strapped on her skis and slipped on her mittens before she left the kitchen.
