Hippy saw a well-marked trail where the bushes had been brushed aside, and here and there a tender leaf-stem broken off. Stooping over, the Overland girl scrutinized the ground, and, with a finger, beckoned Hippy to kneel down. "See that?" she demanded. "What is it?" questioned the other girls in chorus.
They move so easily because each leaf-stem is like a thin, flat strap set on edge; while the leaf-stem of such as the oak is nearly round and scarcely rustles at all. Why does the Quaking Asp do this?
The pigment is thus removed from the intact parts and remains adherent to the lines and areas from which the hard surface layer has been removed. Lashing Lashing with strips of rattan and with coarse fibres from the leaf-stem of some of the palms and ferns is applied to a great variety of purposes, and largely takes the place of our nailing and screwing and riveting.
Often, indeed, I find winged forms upon the leaf-stem of a nasturtium, having come there evidently in hopes of starting a new colony; but usually in a dead or dying condition the pungent juice seems to have poisoned them. So, too, spinach and lettuce may be covered with blight, while the bitter spurges, the woolly-leaved arabis, and the strong-scented thyme close by are utterly untouched.
A tall twig led from the nest straight up into the air, and this was the ladder he mounted. Step by step he climbed one leaf-stem after another, with several pauses to cry and to eat, and at last reached the topmost point, where he turned his face to the west, and took his first survey of the kingdoms of the earth.
