I have had a lot of worry, too, for little Alice has got a new tooth. Bob's boots fit him very well and he is very proud of them. "You say in your letter that I ought to find a friend of my own sex. Well, I have found one, or, rather, she has found me. Her name is Ottilia Sandegren, and she was educated at the seminary.
He had also repeated Cynthia's remark about Bob's father not being quite the biggest man in his part of the country, and ventured the surmise that she was the daughter of a rival mill owner. "Why didn't you let me know you were in Boston?" said Bob, reproachfully. "Why should I?" asked Cynthia, and she could not resist adding, "Didn't you find it out when you went to Brampton to see me?"
North and south there's all sorts of big country. Why, Baldy's only a sort of taster." Bob's satisfaction with himself collapsed. This land so briefly shadowed forth was penetrable only in summer: that he well knew. And all summer Bob was held to the great tasks of the forest. He hadn't the time! Wherein did he differ from Hicks? In nothing save that his right of way happened to be a trifle wider.
He has taken the most inveterate dislike to Mr. and Mrs. Morton, and positively refuses to speak to either of them. I could hardly prevail upon him to bring them over here, and yet he fell into a strange fury when I spoke of getting some one else to bring them. He he is quite safe, I suppose?"

The preparations going on everywhere around, the comments of the workmen as they saw the show of oil, the ringing blows of axes, and shouts of the teamsters, all lent an air of realism to Bob's words which Ralph had failed to see or feel before.
"Let's call it 'Lonely Land," suggested Bob. "I have a better name," said the commander. "It is the custom to call islands and mountains after the person who discovers them. I propose that we name this 'Bob's Island, for he discovered it first." "Aye, aye, sir!" cried Tim Flynn heartily. Bob blushed and was about to protest, but, to his surprise, Mr.
