I've sunk almost enough money in that shebang to dig a gold mine, and I haven't got any out yet not a cent, and I'm losing interest all the while." "Well, but think of the twenty thousand dollars!" "Yes, I s'pose I've got to. That's the only consolation I have left." The above conversation took place one afternoon between Ezra Larabee and Lieutenant Larson.

By the middle of May the snow had nearly disappeared, and the first of June saw the rivers running free of ice. It was then that Wentworth "borrowed" Sven Larson from the factor and dropped down Gods River in a canoe to its confluence with the Shamattawa. Camp was made at the head of the rapids.

"You're my clerk, an' your name's Sven Larson that's a good Scandinavian name an' you don't know nothin' about pulp-wood, nor options. I guess it would be best if we could put him up right here. We could be watchin' him all the while without seemin' to." "I wonder when Wentworth will be here?" speculated Hedin. "There's no tellin'. It's accordin' to the outfit he packs an' the guide he's got.

I can't make him out, but that's just the shape of his airship, I can tell by the mercury stabilizer Larson has put on." "Well, it looks as if we'd have a race," observed Mr. Vardon. "He sure is speeding on," mused Dick. "But he may be away behind his schedule," put in Larry. "That won't make any difference," the young millionaire said.

The case of Joe Hooker and Matilda Larson was particularly distressing, and ultimately led to the passage of a rather drastic law by the Council. Judge Malone was the father of this law. It provided for the automatic annulment of all previous marriages at the expiration of two years, provided, however, the absent husband or wife didn't turn up to contest the matter.

"Badly hurt," said Dick, quietly. "Oh, well, then I won't say anything," murmured the old man. "Oh, what a trip it was!" "Are you much hurt?" asked Dick. It did not appear that his uncle was. The fall had been a lucky one for him. His helmet had protected his head, and he had on two suits of clothes, well padded. The others were dressed likewise, but it had not saved Larson.

Only I warn you that if you are seen tampering about the Hamilton airship, on which I am working, that you will not get off so easily as you did in my case!" "Be careful!" warned Larson. "You are treading on dangerous ground!" "And so are you," warned the aviator, not allowing himself to get excited as did Larson. "I know of what I am speaking."

Alpine is the resting place of the bones of Jacob Hamblin, most noted of southwestern missionaries of his faith. In 1920 the County Agricultural Agent reported that only two farmers in the United States were growing the Moshannock potato, Frederick Hamblin at Alpine and Wallace H. Larson at Lakeside. In Western New Mexico

As in those visions that are said to come to the dying, I saw Axel Larson feeding day by day at her board, brutally conscious of her passion, yet not deigning even to sacrifice her to it; I saw him ultimately leave the schools and the town to carry his clever brush to the welcome of a wider world, without a word or a thought of thanks for the creature who had worshipped and waited upon him hand and foot; and then I saw her life from day to day unroll its long monotonous folds, all in the same pattern, all drab duty and joyless sacrifice, and hopeless undying love.

"Didn't you?" cried Adrien, "I did. Jack and Geordie Ross were going down the centre at a perfectly terrific speed, big Macnamara backing them up. Out came Macnab and Jumbo Larson following him. Macnab checked Geordie, who passed to Jack, who slipped it back to Macnamara. Down came Jumbo like a perfect thunderbolt and fairly hurled himself upon Macnamara. I don't know what happened then, but "
