Shorty trudged at Smoke's heels, beguiling the time with guesses at what Dwight Sanderson had to sell. "Reindeer? Copper-mine or brick-yard? That's one guess. Bear-skins, or any kind of skins? Lottery tickets? A potato-ranch?" "Getting near it," Smoke encouraged. "And better than that." "Two potato-ranches? A cheese-factory? A moss-farm?" "That's not so bad, Shorty.
He was indeed just praising himself, his wife, his child, and everything that belonged to him. He was planning, planning, as he talked, the new things to do the cheese-factory, the purchase of a steam-plough and a steam- thresher which he could hire out to his neighbours. Only once during the drive did he turn round to Carmen, and then it was to ask her if she had seen her father of late.
He put his hand to his head, but did not look her in the eyes. His gesture helped him to avoid that. "I have a head la, such a head! I have been thinking, thinking-it is my hobby. I have been planning the cheese-factory, and all at once it comes on-the ache in my head. I will go to bed. Yes, I will go at once." Suddenly he turned at the door leading to the bedroom. "The little Zoe is she well?"
"Not for ten months," was her reply. "Why do you ask?" "Wouldn't he like to be nearer you and Zoe? It's twelve miles to Beauharnais," he replied. "Are you thinking of offering him another place at the Manor?" she asked sharply. "Well, there is the new cheese-factory not to manage, but to keep the books! He's doing them all right for the lumber-firm. I hear that he " "I don't want it.
He has too much under construction in the business of his life, and if one stone slips out, down may come the whole pile. He has stopped building the cheese-factory that represents sheer loss. The ash-factory is to close next week, the saw-mill is only paying its way, and the flour-mill and the farms, which have to sustain the call of his many interests, can't stand the drain.
And what a burden his camel carried flour-mill, saw-mill, ash- factory, farms, a general store, lime-kilns, agency for lightning-rods and insurance, cattle-dealing, the project for the new cheese-factory, and money-lending! Money-lending? It seemed strange that Jean Jacques should be able to lend money, since he himself had to borrow, and mortgage also, from time to time.
While advancing these suggestions, with much confidence in their practical value, I would by no means confine the outlook for Eastern farming to this single road to success. Co-operative industry may be largely adopted among farmers living at some distance from each other. The cheese-factory has become an institution.
Forgiveness did not solve her problem. "I am going to take you to Montreal and then out to Winnipeg, when I've got the cheese-factory going," he said with a wise look in his face, and with tenderness even coming into his eyes. "I know what mistakes I've made" had not George Masson the despoiler told him of them? "and I know what a scoundrel that fellow is, and what tricks of the tongue he has.
He has many kinds of business mills, stores, farms, lime-kilns, and all that, and keeps them all going; and as if he hadn't enough to do, and wasn't risking enough, he's now organizing a cheese-factory on the co-operative principle, as in Upper Canada among the English." "He has a touch of originality, that's sure," was the reply of the Judge. The Clerk of the Court nodded and sighed.
He looked towards his house, he looked the way George Masson had gone, and he knew that what he had seen was real life and not a dream. The paper fell from his hand. He did not pick it up. Its fall represented the tumbling walls of life, was the earthquake which shook his world into chaos. He ground the sheet into the gravel with his heel. There would be no cheese-factory built at St.
