The doctor was about to speak again but the man hurried away. "Damned funny," the medical man muttered. Then he moved off towards his own home. Somehow he had forgotten his wish for poker. The fifty-acre pasture was situated nearly a quarter of a mile away to the left of John Allandale's house. Then, too, the whole length of it must be crossed before the implement shed be reached.
"First we will make a circuit of the north end," continued Ned, after breakfast, "and if nothing comes of that no unseen hollows or new crevices we'll try this sandy hollow, even if it is smooth as a plain." The circuit of a fifty-acre area requires time and it was an hour before the boys had traversed the edge of the precipitous cliff.
It is safe to predict that from the tenth to the fortieth year a well-managed orchard will give an average yearly income of $100 an acre above all expenses, including interest on the original cost. A fifty-acre orchard of well-selected apple trees, near a first-class market and in intelligent hands, means a net income of $5000, taking one year with another, for thirty or forty years.
The Clark's Field Associates was, therefore, incorporated and made an offer to the trust company for Clark's Field, a fair offer in the neighborhood of a million dollars for the fifty-acre tract of city land. An obstacle, however, presented itself at this point, which in the end forced the Associates to modify their plan materially.
Lablache had been missed, but this had not so much interested people. They thought of Retief and waited for daylight. Silas brought the news of "Poker" John's absence also his niece's. Immediately was a "hue and cry" taken up. Foss River bustled in search. It was noon before the rancher was found. Doctor Abbot and Silas had set out in search together. The fifty-acre pasture was Silas's suggestion.
I tried to tell him; but he couldn't understand a word of horse-language. What I need is spectacles." "Of course of course," said the Doctor. "I'll get you some at once." "I would like a pair like yours," said the horse "only green. They'll keep the sun out of my eyes while I'm plowing the Fifty-Acre Field." "Certainly," said the Doctor. "Green ones you shall have."
In so spacious an area the two lanterns swinging from the stanchions diffuse a subdued illumination, like a night-taper in the apartment of some invalid. Owing to their position, also, these lanterns are far from shedding an impartial light, however dim, but fling long angular rays here and there, like burglar's dark-lanterns in the fifty-acre vaults of the West India Docks on the Thames.
One slips back into the wood, the other canters to the fence, rising the hill, looks out, whisks his brush and is off across the turf, over the fifty-acre field of growing wheat, and away to the back of the hills. Half the pack are running the first fox, who has slipped back to the river, but with the other half every one gets clear off, and does his best over the awful ground.
You can't properly manure a fifty-acre patch with only a bad smell." Lincoln ran his finger over the leaves of the small Bible he had taken from his pocket "Seems to me Moses had the same difficulties to contend with. Read the sixteenth chapter of the book of Numbers at your leisure, Mr. Secretary. It's mighty pertinent to our situation.
Those standing by were struck with a kind of awe; they were used mostly to the daughters of habitants and fifty-acre farmers. Her sensitive face spoke a wonderful language: a divine gratitude and thankfulness; and her eyes had a clear moisture which did not dim them.
