The snow melted; the rains fell; the washes and creek channels were filled with roaring floods; hill and ridge and mountain slope and mesa awoke to the new life that was swelling in every branch and leaf and blade; the beauties of the valley meadow appeared again in fresh and fragrant loveliness; while from fence-post and bush and grassy bank and new-leaved tree the larks and mocking birds and doves voiced their glad return.
"You seem to be planning rather far ahead, aren't you?" "No one has to be a prophet to say a preacher'll have babies. That's ginerally about all they do have." "It's your business, Drusilla; but I can't understand why you want these two very worthy people to marry " "Can't you see through a fence-post, John?
A pause, a very short one, and then Prudence, too, was wriggling beneath the fence. "Hold the wire up for me, papa," cried Fairy, "I'm too fat." And a second later she was running gracefully across the lawn toward the parsonage. The Methodist minister laughed boyishly, and placing his hands on the fence-post, he vaulted lightly over, and reached the house with his daughters.
Now one alighted on a fence-post a few yards ahead of us, earnestly regarding our approach, tilting upward his long, expressive tail, the black of his plumage shining with brilliant blue reflections, and the white fairly dazzling the eyes.
Well, he had to go to town so one day he called 'em up and made 'em a little talk. "'Boys, he says, 'I've got to go to town but I'm going to watch you, all the same. Sure thing, now, he says, 'you can laugh all you want to, but I'll see everything that you do. Then he took out his glass eye and set it on a fence-post where it looked right down the ditch, and started off for town.
The light-house on the promontory is a hexagonal edifice ten feet in diameter and height; it is of logs and has a flat top covered with dirt, whereon to kindle a fire. The interior is entered by a low door, and I found it floored with two sticks of wood and a mud puddle. One could reach the top by climbing a sloping pole notched like an American fence-post.
This here ole room kind o' gits on my nerves." Pete strode out. They stood watching the approaching riders. Suddenly Andy White touched Pete's arm. "One of 'em is Gary!" he said, speaking low. Pete stopped and, picking up a clod, jerked it toward a fence-post. The clod happened to hit the post and was flicked into dust. "That for Gary," said Pete. Andy grinned, but his eyes were grave.
After crossing Owl Creek, on the road to Poplar Cove, there are three large trees about a hundred yards apart, close to the fence of the wheat field on the right-hand side. At the bottom of the fence-post, opposite the third tree, will be found a small pasteboard box. The messenger will place the answer in this box and return immediately to Summit.
He pulled up short and then saluted the old gentleman with a stab of forefinger at his hat-brim. "Any trouble, Judge?" he inquired, affably. "None at all," replied the old gentleman, edging away from the fully garbed fence-post. "Airing 'em out, hey?" A jab of the forefinger toward the garments. "No, leaving them out." All at once the old gentleman appeared to remember something else.
Yes, they believe it was made to spend, not to bury alongside of some fence-post. And speaking of fence-posts brings me back to the point Old Murray had a bunch of big, lazy Apaches working by the day cleaning out a ditch. He was down there at daylight and watched 'em like a hawk, but every time he'd go into town the whole bunch would sit down for a talk.
