He picked up the khaki shirt and put it on; then, with growing curiosity, the rest of the garments, until he came to the shoes. Khaki shirt, khaki breeches, a wide, webbed belt, a flat-brimmed hat. And the shoes they weren't shoes, but knee-length leather boots, like a dressy version of lumberman's boots or a rougher version of riding boots.
Dick's mind reverted to the lumberman's daughter, as does the needle veer to the magnet; and for a long time they sat there, until the fires of their cigars glowed like stars. The moon came up, and the cross was outlined, dimly, above them, and against the background of black, cast upon the somber, starlit blue of the night.
"Any kind, so I can learn something about the lumber business." The older man studied him keenly for a few moments. "Have you had any other business experience?" "None." "What have you been doing?" "Nothing." The lumberman's eyes hardened.
See ye didn't manage ter freeze them whiskers off'n yer face, did ye?" "Dey're yoost vhere dey belongs, I tank," answered Stefan, quietly. "Miss Sophy, if you haf time I take two plugs Lumberman's Joy terbacker."

One swift glance into the grizzled face warned him his associate's mood was by no means easy. He, like everyone who came into contact with Bat, had learned to appreciate the volcanic fires burning under the lumberman's exterior. Bull promptly fended any storm that might possibly be brewing. He held up his telegram and his eyes were smiling. "The Skandinavia's on the move," he cried.
In due time the difficulties began to show themselves, and then Frank saw the most exciting and dangerous phase of a lumberman's life a part of it with which when he grew older he must himself become familiar if he would be master of the whole business, as it was his ambition to be.
He seemed to her a delightful mixture of the ardent boy and the man who, as she understood it, was roughened by lumberman's life. She lifted Dottie on her shoulder and turned homeward. "I will only be a few minutes getting Harold and some candles; don't go without us, I beg of you," she pleaded.
He knew that he was going to fight this thing out, that his present retreat was purely strategic. He knew that the whole campaign was only just beginning. But it galled his spirit that his first move must be a retreat. The late winter day was fiercely threatening, fit setting for the disaster that had befallen. The cold was bitterly intense, but no more bitter than the lumberman's present mood.
Some of us carefully removed Bar to the second house, whilst others chafed the bodies on the floor and poured warm drinks into their mouths to revive the spark of life, if it yet lingered. But they were frozen to death. The log-cabin in which my companions and I had lived for three months was now the lumberman's dead-house.
