Then he turned upon Grôm with burning eyes. "You found the Fire for our people. You saved our people from the hordes of the Bow-legs. You have saved my life now, slaying the monster from very far off with these little sticks which you have made. It is you who should be Chief, not I." Grôm laughed and shook his head. "Bawr is the better man of us two," said he positively, "and he is a better chief.
Before them stood the freight-car, and along the track beyond an occasional train tore down the road, which so far excited their mutual sympathy that they rose and shouted as one man. At the open door of the freight-car stood the unsuspecting turkey, and looked meditatively out on the landscape and at the two figures on the wash-tub. One had bow-legs, a turn-up nose, and a huge straw hat.
If you happen to meet a traveling turkey without any luggage, but with a smile on his countenance, please send word to Jericho Bob. Every evening he and Julius Cæsar Fish stand by the broken-down fence and look up and down the road, as if they expected some one. Jericho Bob has a turn-up nose and bow-legs.
He saw, also, that the woman's face, though uncomely, was more intelligent and human than the bestial faces of the Bow-legs' women. It was a broad face, with very small, deep-set eyes, high cheek bones, a tiny nose, and a very wide mouth, and it looked as if some one had sat on it hard and pushed it in. The idea made him smile, and the smile completed the woman's reassurance.
For the rest of Juno's existence, the moment she caught sight of a boy she fled as fast as her four bow-legs would carry her, not daring even to let her tail stick out behind her, lest it should afford a handle against her. When Annie heard that Alec had been bitten she was miserable. She knew his bite must be worse than hers, or he would not be kept at home.
Bill resembled his father, though his aspect was jocular rather than serious. Guy was smaller, wiry, and hard as rock, with snapping eyes in a brown, still face, and he had the bow-legs of a cattleman. Both had married in Arizona. Bill's wife, Kate, was a stout, comely little woman, mother of three of the children.
Helen observed with a thrill that the cougar was magnificent, seen erect on all-fours, approaching with slow, sinuous grace. His color was tawny, with spots of whitish gray. He had bow-legs, big and round and furry, and a huge head with great tawny eyes. No matter how tame he was said to be, he looked wild.
By prematurely forcing a child to stand up and walk, there is danger of causing bow-legs, as the bones of the legs are still weak; the child should be discouraged from standing up too much rather than encouraged to stand up more. Sleep. A large proportion of the time of early infancy is spent in sleep; for the first few weeks the infant only wakens up to be fed.
In desperation he set his huge ape teeth, with the grip of a bull-dog, deep into the muscular base of Grôm's neck, and began working his way in toward the artery. At this moment A-ya glanced about her. She saw two bodies of the Bow-legs closing in upon them from either side the nearest not much more than a couple of hundred yards distant.
The next morning, Sylvia's face was a little redder than usual when Harry Donkin's bow-legs were seen circling down the path to the house door. 'Here's Donkin, for sure! exclaimed Bell, when she caught sight of him a minute after her daughter. 'Well, I just call that lucky! for he'll be company for thee while Sylvia and me has to turn th' cheeses.
