He offered now, if Pony did not want to go home and let his folks find out about the melon patch, to take him to his mother's log-barn, and get a witch-doctor to come and tend him; but Pony said that he thought they had better keep on, and then Jim trotted and asked him if the jolting did not do him some good. He said he just wished there was an Indian medicine-man around somewhere.
He had fallen in love with it at first sight, and at last he took his family and went there to live. Human neighbors were scarce around the lake, and perhaps that was one reason why we took such a lively interest in the other residents those who were there ahead of us. "Him and me's chums," my small sister said of the red-squirrel that hung around the log-barn.
I should object to slate on a log-barn or shingles on a stone-house. I hope you furnished your honest carpenter with a stout jack-knife, and required him not only to lay the shingles right side up, but to lay the upper ends close together, leaving them apart at the butt. Gutters are troublesome truly, but often indispensable; there is no resource but to have them thoroughly made.
Most persons use a small portion of common salt and lime in the manufacture of pot-ash.

As he rounded the bend, the bark of a dog suddenly rung from a mass of gloom and darkness. How sweet the sound! Regardless of the animal's angry challenge, he pressed on. That mass of blackness was a log-barn, and near by was a corral with cows therein. Then a light shone from the log-cabin, and a man's voice was heard calling the dog. Fuller's!
But you needn't tell any body what I've said, mistress; for they might, perhaps, have Bill Piper and me up, and try to make barglary out of it or simony, I don't know but the law folks would call it the breaking into a log-barn. But hush! Somebody's coming. It is the doctor."
The frog disappeared with his prize, to come to the surface again at the edge of a lily-pad, a few feet off, and blink his goggle-eyes in satisfaction. The Alien of the Wild A full day's tramp back from the settlement, on the edge of a water-meadow beside the lonely Quah-Davic, stood the old woodsman's cabin. Beside it he had built a snug log-barn, stored with hay from the wild meadow.
Later, when the outside world had crept a little closer to their wilderness as, go where you will, the outside world has a way of doing he had built a lean-to shed against the cabin from what lumber there was left after building a cowshed against the log-barn.
